New FW "1.17" is coming with: HA Core version 2024.3.3, So it is not necessary to Update the HA core version in the iNELS Bridge web configuration page.

It is recommended to not update the integration further due to potential incompatibilities with HA Core version

if you anyhow wants to update it, please keep in mind, that the highest possible version in 0.1.0.beta.23(!!!), but it's not tested with HA Core 2024.3.3 so we can't guarantee its full compatibility and functionality.

(this limitation is caused by Python library version 1.6.0, that has been increased to version 2.1.0 in integration version 0.1.0.beta.24)
