## Patch v4.2.5: Interface Refinements and Essential Documentation Updates
We highly recommend all users update their components to this latest version for an optimized and enhanced user experience.
While this update is compatible with existing v4.2 components, fully updating ensures the best performance and usability.
In this release, we've focused on enhancing the user interface and providing crucial information for a better user experience.
Key updates include refined control mechanisms for climate and cover entities, improved functionality for hardware buttons,
and the introduction of support for ESPHome's `friendly_name`.
Moreover, we have updated our documentation to include comprehensive guidelines on memory requirements for ESPHome,
ensuring users are well-informed for successful system setup and operation.
**Overview of Changes:**
<!-- markdownlint-disable MD013 MD033 -->
| Change | Criticality | Affected Components |
| :-- | :--: | :--: |
| Fix display of climate icons on chips (#1675) | Minor | `Blueprint` |
| Enable long click action when no entity is assigned to HW button (#1637) | Minor | `Blueprint` |
| Fix Display of Climate Icons on Chips (#1675) | Minor | `Blueprint` |
| Long Click Action Bug Fix for Hardware Button (#1637) | Minor | `Blueprint` |
| Enhanced Consistency in Cover Controls (#1688) | Enhancement | `Blueprint` |
| Support ESPHome `friendly_name` (#1719) | Enhancement | `Blueprint`<br>`ESPHome` |

**Key Improvements:**

- **Enable long click action when no entity is assigned to HW button**: ...
- **Fix Display of Climate Icons on Chips**: Enhanced the functionality of climate entity chips.
Now, the chip is displayed only when the climate entity has an active HVAC action.
This change ensures that the chip is hidden in states like 'Idle' or other non-active states,
aligning the display behavior with the operational status of the climate entity for improved accuracy and user experience.
- **Long Click Action Bug Fix for Hardware Button**: Resolved a bug where long click actions weren't executing on hardware buttons if no entity was assigned.
This fix ensures that custom actions linked to long presses will now run as intended, regardless of whether an entity is assigned to the button,
offering greater flexibility and reliability in user interactions.
- **Enhanced Consistency in Cover Controls**: Building upon the dynamic icons feature introduced in v4.2.2, we've further refined the cover controls.
This enhancement extends the use of `device_class` to the detailed cover page,
ensuring that the icons for opening and closing covers are more accurately representative of the cover type.
This update is a step towards our goal of extending context-aware UI enhancements to other supported domains in future updates.
- **Friendly Name Support in ESPHome**: Enhanced the Blueprint's compatibility with ESPHome's `friendly_name` feature.
Previously, using `friendly_name` could disrupt communication between the Blueprint and ESPHome due to mismatches in entity and service names.
This update resolves these issues, ensuring seamless integration.
Users can now utilize the `friendly_name` substitution in their YAML setup to assign more intuitive and descriptive names to their devices,
significantly improving the ease of device identification and overall user experience.
- **Motion Sensor for Display Wake-Up**: We've introduced a feature that allows users to specify a motion, presence, or door sensor to wake up the display, enhancing the panel's responsiveness.
Each detected motion or sensor activation event triggers the panel to wake up, with the sleep timer resetting with every new detection.
While the panel will still follow the pre-set sleep duration settings regardless of continuous motion or sensor activity,
this initial implementation marks a significant step in making user interactions more dynamic and intuitive.
- **Documentation Update on Memory Requirements for ESPHome**: Enhanced the installation documentation to include detailed guidelines on memory requirements.
This update addresses frequent user-reported compilation errors in ESPHome, attributed to insufficient memory on compiler servers.
The updated section outlines recommended memory configurations for different installation scenarios, ensuring smoother compilation processes.
