# CHANGELOG - Whatsapp Bridge Integration

## Release 0.2.0 - 2026-06-15
- New: Setup of a main device (WhatsApp Bridge Gateway) in the Home Assistant device registry.
- New: Integrated global service `whatsapp_bridge.send_broadcast`, which operates independently of individual profile entities and can send messages to any number or group ID.
- New: Added status sensor (`sensor.whatsapp_bridge_status`). This queries the add-on's new API and provides the current connection status (`CONNECTED`, `WAITING_FOR_SCAN`, `INITIALIZING`, `OFFLINE`) directly within Home Assistant.
- Improved: The sensor is assigned to the new main device, which significantly simplifies automations (e.g., alert on connection loss).

## Release 0.1.7
- Previous stable version
