### Features

- Added eager telegram data decoding for GroupValueWrite / GroupValueResponse Telegrams. DPTs for group addresses can be set using `xknx.group_address_dpt.set()`. `Telegram` has a new attribute `decoded_data` which is set when a decoder was found.

### Devices

- A Device doesn't auto-add to `xknx.devices` anymore. It can be done via `xknx.devices.async_add()` now. `xknx.devices.async_remove` stops a device from processing telegrams, removes from StateUpdater and cancels its internal tasks. Removed devices can be added again.

  - 20.60102 - DPTHVACStatus - HVACStatus (removed DPTControllerStatus in favour of this)
- DPTEnum: Common interface for DPT representing enumueration values. Transcoders accept Enum, string or raw integer values for encoding.
  - 1.007 - DPTStep
  - 1.008 - DPTUpDown
  - 1.100 - DPTHeatCool
  - 20.102 - DPTHVACMode - HVACOperationMode
    - rename "NIGHT" to "ECONOMY" and "FROST_PROTECTION" to "BUILDING_PROTECTION" according to KNX specifications
  - 20.105 - DPTHVACContrMode - HVACControllerMode
    - rename "DRY" to "DEHUMIDIFICATION" and add some values according to KNX specifications

- Verify DPTBinary max payload bitsize when decoding by transcoders `payload_length`

### Address

- `InternalGroupAddress` attribute `address` is renamed to `raw` to be in line with `GroupAddress` (although still str). Its value has an "i-" prefix.

### Internal

- Use `slots` in addresses, Telegram, DPTBinary, DPTArray, TPCI, APCI, DPTComplexData
- Convert Telegram and APCI to dataclasses. `Telegram` is not hashable anymore.
- RemoteValue instances use pre-decoded data from Telegrams if available and `dpt_class` for is set - otherwise they decode the data themselves in `from_knx` like before.
- Remove RemoteValueControl and unused RemoteValue1Count class
- Add value argument to RemoteValue `after_update_cb` callback

# 2.12.2 Fix thread leak 2024-03-05

More intense usage of asyncio. All device operations and callback functions are now async.

E.g. to switch on a light you have to do:

```python
await light.set_on()
```

See updated [examples](https://github.com/XKNX/xknx/tree/main/examples) for details.

### Renaming of several objects:

The naming of some device were changed in order to get the nomenclature closer to several other automation projects and to avoid confusion. The device objects were also moved into `xknx.devices`.

#### Climate

Renamed class `Thermostat` to `Climate` . Please rename the section within configuration:

```yaml
groups:
  climate:
    Cellar.Thermostat: { group_address_temperature: "6/2/0" }
```

#### Cover

Renamed class `Shutter` to `Cover`. Please rename the section within configuration:

```yaml
groups:
  cover:
    Livingroom.Shutter_1:
      {
        group_address_long: "1/4/1",
        group_address_short: "1/4/2",
        group_address_position_feedback: "1/4/3",
        group_address_position: "1/4/4",
        travel_time_down: 50,
        travel_time_up: 60,
      }
```

#### Binary Sensor

Renamed class `Switch` to `BinarySensor`. Please rename the section within configuration:

```yaml
groups:
  binary_sensor:
    Kitchen.3Switch1:
      group_address: "5/0/0"
```

Sensors with `value_type=binary` are now integrated into the `BinarySensor` class:

```yaml
groups:
  binary_sensor:
    SleepingRoom.Motion.Sensor:
      { group_address: "6/0/0", device_class: "motion" }
    ExtraRoom.Motion.Sensor: { group_address: "6/0/1", device_class: "motion" }
```

The attribute `significant_bit` is now only possible within `binary_sensors`:

```yaml
groups:
  binary_sensor_motion_dection:
    Kitchen.Thermostat.Presence:
      { group_address: "3/0/2", device_class: "motion", significant_bit: 2 }
```

#### Switch

Renamed `Outlet` to `Switch` (Sorry for the confusion...). The configuration now looks like:

```yaml
groups:
  switch:
    Livingroom.Outlet_1: { group_address: "1/3/1" }
    Livingroom.Outlet_2: { group_address: "1/3/2" }
```

Within `Light` class i introduced an attribute `group_address_brightness_state`. The attribute `group_address_state` was renamed to `group_address_switch_state`. I also removed the attribute `group_address_dimm` (which did not have any implemented logic).

## Version 0.6.2 - Released 2017-07-24

XKNX Tunnel now does hartbeat - and reopens connections which are no longer valid.

## Version 0.6.0 - Released 2017-07-23

Using `asyncio` interface, XKNX has now to be stated and stopped asynchronously:

```python
import asyncio
from xknx import XKNX, Outlet

async def main():
    xknx = XKNX()
    await xknx.start()
    outlet = Outlet(xknx,
                    name='TestOutlet',
                    group_address='1/1/11')
    outlet.set_on()
    await asyncio.sleep(2)
    outlet.set_off()
    await xknx.stop()

# pylint: disable=invalid-name
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
loop.close()
```

`sync_state` was renamed to `sync`:

````python
await sensor2.sync()
```
````
