Home Assistant Core 2022.8.0 → 2022.9.0

BMW Connected Drive

Entity sensor.<your_vehicle>_charging_time_label (disabled by default) has been removed as it is not provided by the upstream library/API anymore.

International Space Station (ISS)

It will no longer be possible to know if the international space station (ISS) is above you nor the timestamp for the next rise of the station as these features have been removed in the underlying API.

The binary sensor will be removed and all automations relying on this will no longer work. Unfortunately there is no substitute for this. Instead we have introduced a new sensor, that still tells you the location of the ISS, while showing how many people are in space, as main state.

Roku media player will indicate IDLE instead of HOME when at home screen. You can still detect home screen by looking at app_id attribute.

SMS notifications via GSM-modem

Setting up the notify platform of the SMS integration by a platform section in YAML configuration is no longer supported. The sms platform section under notify: can be removed from your YAML configuration files.

A recipient can be specified by using the target parameter in the notify service call instead.
