Changelog — ai_assistant

19/04/2026

Adaptive display: the panel automatically adjusts to screen size (mobile, tablet, desktop). No more overflowing bars or cut-off buttons.
Voice dictation: speak instead of typing. A menu lets you choose which microphone to use if you have several.
File attachments: attach an image, PDF, text file, CSV or DOCX to your message for the AI to analyze.
Image display: when the AI sends back an image (camera photo, chart, visual…), it is displayed directly in the conversation.

Native tool calling (function calling) for OpenAI, Mistral, Groq, DeepSeek, xAI, OpenRouter and Claude: the AI directly calls 4 structured tools (execute_jeedom_command, run_jeedom_scenario, snapshot_camera, schedule_action). Results are re-injected into the conversation, up to 5 consecutive agentic turns (180 s budget). Automatic fallback to legacy JSON protocol if the provider is not supported.
Automatic retry for scheduled actions on error: backoff 60 s → 120 s → 240 s (3 attempts), then user notification and abandoned status in audit. Whitelist denied refusals are not replayed.

Model and endpoint inconsistencies fixed across all 9 providers — single source of truth.
Non-atomic JSON writes fixed (tmp + rename) for scheduled actions, audit, and whitelist files.
Claude model list now derived from ai_models.json — no more stale hardcoded entries.

Inter-plugin API: other Jeedom plugins can now query the configured AI via ai_assistant::askDefault() and askDefaultMcp().
Default Provider / MCP configuration: dropdowns in the plugin page to designate default devices for inter-plugin calls.
Dedicated info commands per action: each action type (askAi, askWithContext, useTemplate, analyzeImage, analyzeCamera) now has its own question<Xxx> + reponse<Xxx> command pair — avoids mutual overwriting.
Token/cost rollup info commands: usageTokensToday, usageCostToday, usageTokensMonth, usageCostMonth — auto-reset at midnight and month start.
apiHealth info command (provider only): updated by cronHourly which pings the API key once every 23 h.
Claude prompt caching: cache_control ephemeral on the system prompt — ~90% savings on repeated system tokens.
Home conventions: Instructions field unlocked for MCP client devices. Global conventions defined once in mcp_jeedom → Configuration → Home conventions and propagated to the system prompt.

testConnection: missing cases for deepseek, xai, openrouter, perplexity added.
AI response truncated at 120 chars: fixed — responses now stored up to 8000 chars.
MCP tools cache: deny-list against false positives (11 mutation markers detected).

Panel and pan_light: added floating “Scroll to bottom” button.
Panel: restored provider device selection in the main select.
JSON runtime/config paths refactored: from data/*.json to core/config/*.json.
