## [1.1.0] - 2026-02-17
24+
25+
### 🐛 Bug Fixes
26+
27+
**Idle Rotation System:**
28+
- Fixed priority checking between rotation pages to prevent interruption
29+
- Added condition checks after each page display (clock → temp → date)
30+
- Prevents higher-priority events (timer/alarm) from being blocked
31+
- Ensures smoother transitions with proper state validation
32+
33+
**Alexa Timer/Alarm Integration:**
34+
- Added 2-second debounce to timer/alarm state change triggers
35+
- Improved compatibility with latest Alexa Media Player integration updates
36+
- More stable notification triggering, reducing false positives
37+
- Added display state validation before executing actions
38+
39+
**Event-Driven Queue System:**
40+
- Added 1-second debounce for media player state changes
41+
- Reduces notification spam during media playback state transitions
42+
- Better priority handling during rapid state changes
43+
- Improved queue stability with proper condition checks
44+
45+
### ✨ Improvements
46+
47+
**Timer Warning System (Major Rewrite):**
48+
- Complete redesign using while-loop continuous monitoring
49+
- Real-time countdown tracking instead of polling-based checks
50+
- More reliable 30-second warning window (25-30 seconds)
51+
- Graceful cleanup and priority reset on timer completion
52+
- Supports all timer/alarm types (kitchen and living room)
53+
- Prevents duplicate warnings with `warned` flag mechanism
54+
55+
**Display Power Management:**
56+
- Added display state checks before executing display commands
57+
- Prevents commands being sent to powered-off displays
58+
- Better handling of auto-off scenarios
59+
60+
### 🔧 Technical Changes
61+
62+
- Priority validation added between idle rotation pages
63+
- Media player triggers now debounced (1 second)
64+
- Alexa timer/alarm sensors debounced (2 seconds)
65+
- Improved condition templates for state validation
66+
- Enhanced error handling in timer warning loop
67+
- Maximum iteration safety limit (7200) for warning system
68+
69+
### 📚 Documentation
70+
71+
- Updated automation examples with new debouncing syntax
72+
- Added troubleshooting guide for timer warning system
73+
- Documented priority checking behavior in idle rotation
