Full Changelog: 3.7.9...3.8.0

Version 3.8.0 RC1

In Version 3.8.0 beta, the device name was not given as a prefix for the sensor name. As a result, the entity ID could change in some environments.

Version 3.8.0 RC1 fixes that issue. However, if you were using the beta version, there may be an environment where the entity ID changes again, in which case you will need to change the entity ID or adjust automation etc.

Additionally, we've added the option "Enable energy-related sensors (if available)" for environments where the device becomes unresponsive when collecting energy-related data.

What's Changed

• Update README to include MAC-588IF-E support and port 3610 by @abowen in #171
