Home Assistant Core 2021.9.0 → 2021.10.0

Templates

The following template filters and functions will now log a warning instead of silently returning the input if the input is invalid and no default value is specified:

• acos
• as_timestamp
• asin
• atan
• atan2
• cos
• float
• log
• multiply
• round
• sin
• sqrt
• strptime
• tan
• timestamp_custom
• timestamp_local
• timestamp_utc

The float filter will now log a warning instead of silently returning 0 if the input is invalid and no default value is specified.

In Home Assistant Core 2021.12 the template will fail to render if no default value is specified. You can specify a default value by passing to the filter like this: {{ "abc" | float(default=0) }}.

Alexa

Removes the support for legacy fan speeds.

Using speeds ('off', 'low', 'medium' or 'high') for the fan platform became deprecated with Home Assistant Core 2021.07, while preset modes and percentage support was added.

(@jbouwh - #55174) (alexa docs)

AVM FRITZ!Box Tools

In order to introduce the new link status binary sensor, the previous connectivity sensor has been renamed to connection.

Please check both your Lovelace configuration and your automations to reflect this change.

(@chemelli74 - #55446) (fritz docs)

Discovery API

The API endpoint /api/discovery_info now only return blank values. This endpoint is scheduled to be removed in Home Assistant Core 2022.1.

As a regular user of Home Assistant, this change should not affect you.

(@ludeeus - #56097) (api docs)

DLNA Digital Media Renderer

The DLNA Digital Media Renderer integration migrated to configuration via the UI. Configuring DLNA Digital Media Renderer via YAML configuration has been deprecated and will be removed in a future Home Assistant release.

Your existing YAML configuration is automatically imported on upgrade to this release; and thus can be safely removed from your YAML configuration after upgrading.

(@chishm - #55267) (dlna_dmr docs)

HomeKit

When an iOS device wakes up it has to refresh all the A records for each paired accessory. When there are many paired accessories this can result in HomeKit timing out before it can refresh all the records and declaring some accessories unavailable.

We now use the same server name for all HomeKit bridges and accessories on a single Home Assistant instance. This allows the system to avoid doing multiple lookups since it only needs to find one A record when waking from sleep.

iOS devices and Home Hubs (Apple TVs / HomePods / iPads) may cache the server name even if it expires and may require a reboot to see the new name. If this is the case, accessories may show unavailable when outside the home until ALL home hubs are rebooted.

Honeywell Lyric

The polling interval of the Honeywell Lyric integration has been decreased to 300 seconds to reduce chances of hitting API limit.

(@timmo001 - #56393) (lyric docs)

Minut Point

The (non-working) pressure sensor has been removed.

(@fredrike - #56934) (point docs)

Your existing YAML configuration is automatically imported on upgrade to this release; and thus can be safely removed from your YAML configuration after upgrading.

(@tkdrob - #46677) (modem_callerid docs)

Moon

The Moon entity would never have a primary moon phase state. So the state of the moon would go from Waxing gibbous directly to Waning gibbous, without being Full Moon in between.

Now the Moon entity will correctly have the primary moon phases: New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon and Third Quarter.

If you have automations relying on the state of the moon, please review them to check if they still behave as intended.

(@stefanroelofs - #55518) (moon docs)

NETGEAR

The NETGEAR integration migrated to configuration via the UI. Configuring NETGEAR via YAML configuration has been deprecated and will be removed in a future Home Assistant release.

Your existing YAML configuration is automatically imported on upgrade to this release; and thus can be safely removed from your YAML configuration after upgrading.

(@starkillerOG - #54479) (netgear docs)

Network UPS Tools (NUT)

The extra attribute state is removed from all sensors, since it is already exposed as an own sensor.

If you relied on this attribute for your automations or script, you might need to adjust to this change.

(@mib1185 - #56078) (nut docs)

OpenGarage

The OpenGarage integration has previously been migrated to configuration via the UI. Configuring OpenGarage via YAML configuration has now been deprecated and will be removed in a future Home Assistant release.

(@Danielhiversen - #56829) (opengarage docs)

If you relied on this attribute in your automations or script, you need to adjust those to match this change.

(@mib1185 - #56076) (pi_hole docs)

ReCollect Waste

The previously deprecated YAML configuration of the ReCollect Waste integration has been removed.

ReCollect Waste is now configured via the UI, any existing YAML configuration has been imported in previous releases and can now be safely removed from your YAML configuration files.

(@bachya - #55426) (recollect_waste docs)

Renault

The extra state attribute last_update has been normalized to the UTC timezone.

If you have any automation or scripts that relied on this, you might need to adjust those to take this into account.

(@epenet - #54745) (renault docs)

---

sensor.charge_mode has been moved to select.charge_mode (note: unique_id is unchanged).

(@epenet - #55494) (renault docs)

• available
• filesystem
• load_average
• load_idle
• load_system
• load_user
• mount
• size
• type
• used

You should update any automations and scripts that depend on these state attribute to use the separate sensors available for these states.

(@timmo001 - #53892) (system_bridge docs)

TP-Link Kasa Smart

The TP-Link Kasa Smart integration migrated to configuration via the UI. Configuring TP-Link Kasa Smart via YAML configuration has been deprecated and will be removed in a future Home Assistant release.

(@rytilahti - #56701) (tplink docs)

Tuya

The previous Tuya API is no longer maintained by Tuya officially and the new integration will be officially maintained by the Tuya Developer Team.

If you used the integration before this release, you'd need to set it up again from scratch. To do that, remove any existing instances from the integration dashboard. After that, use our documentation for guidance on setting up the new integration.

The cover platform is not ready for this release but will be included later. If you have cover devices, they will not available for control at the moment.

(@zlinoliver - #56820) (tuya docs)

(@Cereal2nd - #54032) (velbus docs)

Xiaomi Miio

The model and mode attributes have been removed. The preset_mode attribute is available in place of the mode attribute.

The device model is available in the Device info window.

(@bieniu - #55846) (xiaomi_miio docs)

Custom integrations: ruamel.yaml

The unused ruamel.yaml utility functions have been removed. They were never in use nor documented. If your custom integration relied on ruamel.yaml being installed, make sure it's part of your manifest.

(@balloob - #55672)

Farewell to the following

The following integrations are no longer available as of this release:

• Trackr has been removed. The API is no longer available and has therefore been removed. (@FuzzyMistborn - #55917)
• Tesla has been removed due to increased Tesla login security preventing third-parties to log in. (@alandtse - #55988)
