Home Assistant Core 2023.1.0 → 2026.9.4

Python 3.9 support has been removed

Python 3.9 support has previously been deprecated and has now been removed. Home Assistant now requires Python 3.10 to run.

If you are using Home Assistant OS, Home Assistant Container, or Home Assistant Supervised installation method, you don’t have to do anything. In those cases, we handle this all for you.

Your system has been using Python 3.10 for quite some time already.

(@frenck - #85456)

MariaDB

If you are using MariaDB with Home Assistant recorder, please make sure you run 10.5.17 , 10.6.9, 10.7.5, 10.8.4 (depending on which major release you are using). If you are using the MariaDB core add-on, make sure to update it to the latest version: 2.5.2.

Older versions of MariaDB suffer from a significant performance regression when retrieving history data or purging the database.

(@bdraco - #87040)

Automations & Scripts

A disabled condition, for example, in an automation or script, will no longer always be a pass/True within an OR condition. Instead, in those cases, the condition will now have no effect when disabled.

(@karliemeads - #79718) (documentation)

AccuWeather

For the precipitation entity, the unit was changed from mm to mm/h (in to in/h), resulting in the need to fix the unit for long-term statistics. You can do that in Developer Tools -> Stats.

(@bieniu - #86088) (documentation)

Airly

If the language in the Home Assistant settings is set to Polish, the language of the advice and description attributes of the CAQI entity will change from English to Polish.

If you are using these in your automations or scripts, you might need to adjust them to match this change.

(@bieniu - #85655) (documentation)

Fitbit

The state values of the Fitbit sensor entities will change to remove any thousands delimiters. For example, 1,500 will become 1500.

If you're using the state of these entities in automations or scripts, you need to update them to handle the new state format.

(@sw-carlos-cristobal - #85251) (documentation)

Flume

The scan/update interval for water values has been restored to match the Flume app.

To stay under Flume's API limits, the device connection is now checked hourly, and notifications are checked every 5 minutes.

(@bdraco - #86354) (documentation)

History

The use_include_order YAML configuration option has been removed.

This option was used to sort the history on the original history panel which, is no longer used. As it no longer has a function and only serves to slow down the response, it has been removed.

(@bdraco - #86365) (documentation)

IoTaWatt

The IoTAWatt integration no longer provides sensors with the "Accumulated" suffix. The accumulated sensors have been introduced to support net energy export/import metering.

Newer versions of IoTaWatt provide "Integrators", which allow achieving the same more efficiently and with higher accuracy.

You should configure Integrators to calculate the net energy export and import.

(@agners - #86611) (documentation)

Matter

The Matter integration now requires running Matter Server version 2.0.0.

If you're using the Matter Server add-on to run the Matter Server, you will need version 3.0.0 of the add-on.

We had to change our vendor ID in the add-on; as a result, all devices need to be recommissioned.

(@MartinHjelmare - #86470) (documentation)

Nettigo Air Monitor

The states of air quality sensors have been standardized to match Home Assistant core rules. This affects two states of the sensors that NAM can provide:

• very low, which now became very_low
• very high, which now became very_high

If you used those states directly in your automations, scripts, or templates; you would need to adjust those to match these changes.

(@frenck - #85245) (documentation)

Pentair ScreenLogic

The Pentair ScreenLogic integration now correctly categorizes all known lights. Removing any lights that were previously incorrectly created as switch entities may be necessary.

(@dieselrabbit - #86608) (documentation)

Pi-hole

The previously deprecated YAML configuration of the Pi-hole integration has been removed.

Pi-hole 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.

(@mib1185 - #84803) (documentation)

---

The extra state attribute "Domains blocked" has been removed from all sensors. It is already exposed as its own dedicated sensor.

If you used the state attribute in your automations or scripts, you would need to adjust them to use the dedicated sensor instead.

(@mib1185 - #85424) (documentation)

Rain Bird

Rainbird is now configured via the UI, and configuration from YAML has been imported automatically.

However, there are a few notable changes:

• Custom per zone overrides for irrigation time are no longer supported.
• The Rain delay binary_sensor that duplicates the Rain delay time sensor has been removed. You should move all uses to the sensor value and check for a non-zero value to get equivalent behavior.
• The Rain sensor that duplicates the Rain binary_sensor has been removed. You may check the binary_sensor state to get equivalent behavior.

Also, the way the "Rain Delay" is managed has changed. The Rain Delay, which pauses irrigation for a specified number of days, is now managed with a number entity which can be controlled directly from the UI.

The existing service call rainbird.set_rain_delay and the Raindelay sensor have been deprecated. Any existing automations or scripts that make service calls to rainbird.set_rain_delay will need to be replaced with a call to number.set_value. Additionally, the existing service call was updated to require an integration entry configuration since it previously had undefined behavior, so it is recommended to move directly to the new number service call.

(@allenporter - #85271 #86208) (documentation)

Recorder

The recorder's default commit interval has been increased to 5 seconds to reduce disk I/O and increase storage longevity.

As the history and logbook integrations both support live streaming, which avoids the need to read the database after the initial sync, there is no remaining core functionality that needs a lower commit interval.

The commit_interval can be adjusted to a lower value in the event an integration has not been updated to watch for events instead of reading the database and needs to read the database sooner.

(@bdraco - #86115) (documentation)

Renault

The previously deprecated renault.charge_start service has been removed. Please use the dedicated start charge button entity to start the charge instead.

(@epenet - #86070) (documentation)

Sony Bravia TV

Sony Bravia TV media players no longer have fake (assumed) playing or paused states, and those are replaced with the on state.

If you have automations or scripts that use the playing or paused state, please update them to be compatible with this change.

(@Drafteed - #84885) (documentation)

---

The source_list no longer contains a list of applications and TV channels. Apps and channels have been separated from the input list and moved to the Media Browser.

If you have automations or scripts that use media_player.select_source to switch apps or channels on the Bravia TV, the automations need to be updated to use media_player.play_media service instead.

The options flow has been removed from the integration, as the only configurable setting ignored_sources was no longer relevant and incompatible with this change.

(@Drafteed - #85288) (documentation)

Spain electricity hourly pricing (PVPC)

The previously deprecated YAML configuration of the Spain electricity hourly pricing (PVPC) integration has been removed.

Spain electricity hourly pricing (PVPC) 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.

(@azogue - #85614) (documentation)

Tado

The swing modes of Tado have changed. This is to standardize with other integrations, and so it can support translations.

• ON became the lowercase on
• OFF became the lowercase off

If you used these swing modes in your automations or scripts, you might need to adjust those to this change.

(@emontnemery - #84278) (documentation)

Twinkly

All extra state attributes from Twinkly light entities have been removed.

They mostly added information about the device, not the actual light state itself.

(@frenck - #84986) (documentation)

Universal Devices ISY/IoX

ISY/IoX Variables have been moved from sensor entities to number entities; the existing sensor entities are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

The isy994.set_variable service has been deprecated in favor of using the number entities to directly set the variable values.

Please update any dashboards, scripts, and automations that may be using these entities or service.

(@shbatm - #85511) (documentation)

---

Entities for INSTEON Aux Properties and Device Communication Errors have been removed for nodes that are not the main (load) node.

On Level and Ramp Rate sensors have been removed for non-dimmable (non-light.) devices. Only load devices receive communication error updates and only dimmable devices support OL and RR commands.

The other entities were previously added but did not receive valid states from the ISY or end-devices. These sensors were disabled by default.

(@shbatm - #85744) (documentation)

Uptime

(@sredna - #85018) (documentation)

Yamaha MusicCast

The raw state/option values of the Yamaha MusicCast zone sleep select entities have been standardized to match Home Assistant core rules.

The following states/options have been changed

• 120 min, which now became 120_min
• 90 min, which now became 90_min
• 60 min, which now became 60_min
• 30 min, which now became 30_min

If you used those states/options directly in your automations, scripts, or templates; you will need to adjust those to match these changes.

Previously, all entities and areas were exposed to Assist's default agent. This is now restricted to entities of the following domains:

• climate
• cover
• fan
• humidifier
• light
• lock
• scene
• script
• sensor
• switch
• vacuum
• water_heater

Only areas with exposed entities will be exposed themselves. In the future, this will be customizable through the frontend.

Matter

With this release, you will need to update your Matter Server instance. You must use python-matter-server 3.0.0 or greater (schema 2).

• If you use the Matter Server add-on, you need to have at least version 4.0.0.
• If you run your own Docker container, or some other installation method, you will need to update your python-matter-server instance to at least 3.0.0.

(@marcelveldt - #88607) (documentation)

MQTT

The behavior for receiving values on sensors that expect numeric* values has changed.

• A 'None' value or a value rendered to 'None' will set such a sensor to an unknown state.
• Empty values on such sensors ('') are ignored and will not affect the state of the sensor.

Integrations need to be corrected to send the correct values if an update is published and no valid update value is available for the sensor.

• Other sensors that do not expect a numeric value will still accept an empty string as a value.

* Sensors expect numeric values if at least one of the following applies:

• A device_class is set but is not a date, timestamp, enum, or any custom device class.
• A state_class is set.
• A unit_of_measurement is set.
• A suggested_display_precision is set.

(@jbouwh - #87004) (documentation)

The unit of measurement for the P1 gas consumed interval sensor is changed from m³ to m³/h. Go to Developer Option --> Statistics for the options on how to handle this change in your existing installation.

(@bouwew - #87449) (documentation)

Profiler

The profiler.memory service is unavailable when using Python 3.11, due to an incompatibility with a needed dependency for this service. It will return when the used guppy3 package becomes available with Python 3.11 compatibility.

(@bdraco - #88136) (documentation)

Template: Covers

Template covers using optimistic: false without value_template nor position_template still updated state optimistically. The integration now respects the optimistic setting of false. If you want to keep the previous behavior, you must set the optimistic value to true, or remove the optimistic declaration.

(@ylemoigne - #87925) (documentation)

Trafikverket Weather

The unit of measurement was incorrectly set to mm while the API is returning mm/h. The unit of measurement and device class have now been corrected.

(@gjohansson-ST - #87308) (documentation)

Todoist

Labels used by custom projects for filtering are now case-sensitive.

Previously the labels were automatically lower-cased by the integration, but in Todoist a label like Test and test are considered unique. Because of that labels will now be case sensitive in your configuration.

(@boralyl - #87904) (documentation)

UniFi Protect

The event_id and event_score state attributes are now excluded from being recorded in the database. They remain available for use in automations and scripts.

(@bdraco - #88387) (documentation)

---

The previously deprecated "Detected Object" sensor has been removed.

The sensor was removed because if multiple objects are detected at once (very common for package detection), Home Assistant could not be automated using the second detected object. The sensor has been split out from the single Detected Object sensor into multiple binary issues for each detection type.

(@bdraco - #85656) (documentation)

Wiffi

The Wiffi unit of illuminance lux has been adjusted to the standard unit Home Assistant uses lx.

The conversion to MWh and the corresponding MWh-entities have been removed.

To resolve the breaking change :

• If you make use of any of sensor.heat_meter_heat_usage or sensor.heat_meter_heat_previous_year for automations, scripts, etc., you can replace these with the GJ-entities sensor.heat_meter_heat_usage_gj and sensor.heat_meter_heat_previous_year_gj.
• If applicable, in the energy dashboard, replace sensor.heat_meter_heat_usage with sensor.heat_meter_heat_usage_gj. Note that the energy dashboard will still convert to MWh or kWh, therefore resulting in the same values as before.

Threshold

The behavior of the threshold binary sensor has changed:

• The threshold binary sensor's state is reset to unknown when the monitored sensor's state is unknown, unavailable, or not a valid float.
• When the monitored sensor's state is first valid, or when it's valid after being unknown, unavailable, or not a valid float:
• Initialize a threshold sensor with only a lower threshold to state off, with the position attribute set to above.
• Initialize a threshold sensor with only a upperthreshold to state off, with the position attribute set to below.

• Connected clients will not have state on anymore but use the same states as groups: idle and playing.
• Disconnected clients have state standby instead of off because the Snapcast server still accepts commands.

Synology DSM

The unit conversion for all memory, storage, and network utilization-related sensors was corrected from binary (1024) to decimal (1000) base to be in line with the used measurement units (eq. MB = 1.000.000 bytes).

You may need to update the historically recorded units for these sensors via the statistics page under developer tools.

(@mib1185 - #90633) (documentation)

Templates

The ensure_ascii argument for to_json in Jinja templates now defaults to False, allowing us to use a faster JSON encoder by default.

This should not be an issue for most, as JSON parsers broadly accept Unicode input. If you still need to encode Unicode characters inside JSON strings, set ensure_ascii to True explicitly to restore the old behavior.

(@depoll - #91253)

UniFi Network

UniFi integration no longer provides both hostname and host_name attributes for a client tracker entity. Only host_name will be provided as an attribute.

(@Kane610 - #91188) (documentation)

UniFi Protect

The previous deprecated set_doorbell_message service has been removed. Use the text entity for the UniFi Protect LCD screen instead.

(@AngellusMortis - #91523) (documentation)

Universal Devices ISY/IoX

The previously deprecated YAML configuration of the Universal Devices ISY/IoX integration has been removed.

Universal Devices ISY/IoX 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.

The built-in percentage unit % is now used for relative humidity and absolute humidity instead of the custom units %RH and %AH, respectively.

(@shbatm - #90863) (documentation)

---

The following custom ISY994 services have been removed:

• reload
• cleanup_entities
• system_query
• set_ramp_rate
• set_on_level
• run_network_resource
• set_variable

These services had been previously deprecated in favor of built-in services and number, select, and button entities. Please update your automations and dashboards to use the new entities and/or built-in services if you have not already.

(@shbatm - #91569) (documentation)

Dusk/Dawn nodes on Insteon Motion Sensors now have their states inverted to correctly show "Light detected" during daylight and "No light" when the dusk sensor is active.

This is reversed from previous behavior. If you rely on this sensor in your automations, they must be updated.

(@shbatm - #92035) (documentation)

Webhooks

Two new Webhook trigger options have been added that limit how a webhook can trigger an automation. A new _allowed_methods_ option can be used to control which HTTP request methods can activate the trigger (GET, HEAD, POST, and PUT). And the local_only option is used to allow devices outside your local network to activate the trigger.

Previously all webhook triggers could be activated by HEAD, POST, and PUT methods from any device (local or on the internet). With the new options, only POST and PUT are enabled by default.

In Home Assistant Core 2023.7, any webhook trigger that does not set local_only to false can only be activated by devices on the same network as Home Assistant.

Click the gear/cog icon beside the Webhook ID to update your webhook triggers. Then select an appropriate value for Only accessible from the local network. It is necessary to deselect the option for the Save button to appear. Then reselect the option if it should be enabled. This will make the repair warning go away.

See the webhook trigger documentation for a description of the new options. And please review the new Webhook Security section for best practices when using webhook triggers.

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

• Coronavirus (COVID-19) has been removed. The data is no longer provided by the source provider. (@emontnemery - #90934)
• Xbox Live was previously deprecated and has now been removed. The Xbox integration is still available. (@MartinHjelmare - #90592)

Python

All Home Assistant versions, of which the Home Assistant project manages the Python version for you, have been upgraded to Python 3.11. This affects the following installation types:

• Home Assistant Operating System
• Home Assistant Container
• Home Assistant Supervised

This might affect you when using custom integrations, as those must be compatible with Python 3.11.

Furthermore, as of this release, Python 3.10 is deprecated, and support will be removed in Home Assistant 2023.8. This only affects you if you are running Home Assistant Core installation type in your own Python virtual environment. Please update your Python version to Python 3.11.

If you run Home Assistant OS, Home Assistant Container, or Home Assistant Supervised, we have taken care of this for you; you will be using Python 3.11 automatically on upgrade.

APC UPS Daemon

sensor.ups_self_test_interval sensor now properly splits unit "days" from the raw data. Previously, it would show 7 days as the sensor state. Now it shows 7 with a unit "Days".

(@yuxincs - #93844) (documentation)

Counter

The counter entities no longer restore their previous manually set configuration (using the - now deprecated - counter.configure service) on Home Assistant startup. Instead, it will now use the configuration as set in the helper configuration in the UI (or as configured YAML, if used).

This behavior is removed, as it caused configuration issues, as the new configuration was never applied again (but forever restored). This behavior was out of the ordinary for Home Assistant and thus now standardized.

The value of the counter is still restored and available across Home Assistant restarts.

(@frenck - #93344) (documentation)

Command Line

The Command Line integration changes its YAML configuration format from an old-style platform configuration to a more modern integration-style configuration format.

For example, if you have a binary sensor configured previously as:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
  - platform: command_line
    command: "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"

That same binary sensor is now configured under the command_line integration configuration as:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
command_line:
  - binary_sensor:
      command: "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"

Note: While this is currently not yet a breaking change, it did raise questions during our beta testing period. Hence we have added this as a breaking change to provide more context.

(@allenporter - #92311) (documentation)

IBM Watson TTS

Home Assistant was still using the legacy Python pip package resolver, which has been removed. Due to upstream package conflicts, the IBM Watson TTS integration has been disabled.

The upstream project providing the libraries used has been notified repeatedly in, at least, the past two years; unfortunately, without response. We had no other choice than to disable this integration.

(@frenck - #92124) (documentation)

IHC Controller

The default unit of measurement for manually set up sensors from IHC has been removed. Home Assistant now assumes all sensors with a unit of measurement set are a number. IHC sensors can be text, but because of the default unit of measurement, there is currently no way to get text sensors from IHC working.

This is a breaking fix because if you currently have temperature sensors without a unit of measurement set, you will have to set this for the sensors.

(@dingusdk - #93054) (documentation)

Farewell to the following

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

• Goalfeed has been removed. Their service has been discontinued. (@thecode - #94129)

Home Assistant Container (Docker)

If you use the Home Assistant Container installation method, for example, using Docker, please make sure you are using our official (multi-platform) images.

The correct and preferred image to use for our stable releases is:

• ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable

Although not the preferred location by the Home Assistant project, the image is also available on DockerHub:

• homeassistant/home-assistant:stable

The reason for mentioning this in this breaking change section is that we have seen usage of our internal, intermediate, platform build images. These images are not meant for use directly, and using the above listed images is strongly recommended.

As of this release, we no longer publish our intermediate platform images to DockerHub. This means that if you are using these images, you will no longer receive updates. Please use the above-listed images instead.

(@ludeeus - #94468) (documentation)

Hyperion

The behavior of Hyperion lights has changed:

Turning off the light entity will only clear the priority you have configured during the integration setup. Other Home Assistant independent light sources in Hyperion might still be active and cause light to be emitted. If you want to turn the light off entirely, regardless of active light sources, you can enable the switch.[instance]_led_device entity that acts as a global switch.

External effects that are unrelated to the Hyperion light source (such as USB capture) have been removed from the light entity. To control them, enable the respective disabled-by-default switch entity.

([@Sab44 ] - #80478) (documentation)

MQTT

If the initial temperature, min_temp, or max_temp is not set, the default temperature will be converted to the set temperature_unit or system default temperature unit if this is not degrees Celsius.

(@jbouwh - #93965) (documentation)

---

The behavior of MQTT climate when power_command_topic is set has been changed:

• The hvac_mode state attribute is no longer optimistically set if power_command_topic is defined and climate.turn_on or climate.turn_off is called.
• When hvac_mode is changed, payload_on or payload_off messages will not be published on the power_command_topic.

This also means power_command_topic is no longer deprecated.

(@jbouwh - #94832) (documentation)

MusicCast

The values for the source attribute have changed. We wanted to show more user friendly values for the source attribute, such as "Net Radio" instead of "net_radio".

Python 3.10 support has previously been deprecated and has now been removed. Home Assistant now requires Python 3.11 to run.

You don't have to do anything if you are using Home Assistant OS, Home Assistant Container, or Home Assistant Supervised installation method. In those cases, we handle this all for you.

Your system has been using Python 3.11 for quite some time already.

(@frenck - #97007)

Discovery

The legacy discovery integration has been removed. This only affects the automatic discovery of Enigma2, Yamaha Network Receivers, and Bluesound.

These can still be manually configured as per usual.

Note this is for our very, very old discovery logic. This does not affect the discovery of any other integration/device/service.

If you still have discovery: listed in your YAML configuration, you can safely remove it.

(@frenck - #96856)

Ecovacs

The Ecovacs integration has been migrated to the new "StateVacuumEntity" under the hood.

The states of the vacuum entity now report not only on or off, instead cleaning, paused, docked (implicit mean charging), returning (to base), idle and error. Further, the actions turn_on (start cleaning), and turn_off (stop cleaning and return to base) were superseded by three single actions start, stop and return_to_base.

(@mib1185 - #95920) (documentation)

Google Nest

The legacy Works With Nest API is no longer supported. You must manually take action to use the SDM API by removing the Nest configuration from configuration.yaml and restarting Home Assistant. Then add the Nest integration following the instructions. Please review the documentation for information about which devices are supported.

Additionally, as a reminder, the legacy Works With Nest API is shutting down in September 2023.

(@allenporter - #96111) (documentation)

MQTT

It's no longer allowed for an MQTT RGB light without a brighness_state_topic to report an RGB value of RGB=0,0,0. The reason is that for such lights, the light's brightness is derived from the RGB value, and an RGB value of RGB=0,0,0 corresponds to a brightness of 0 which is not allowed.

In case an MQTT RGB light without a brighness_state_topic reports 0,0,0 for R, G, and B, that update will be ignored.

(@jbouwh - #96286) (documentation)

---

The MQTT climate CONF_POWER_STATE_TOPIC and CONF_POWER_STATE_TEMPLATE were deprecated in HA Core 2023.2.0 and are now removed. Please remove these options from your configuration. The options were not implemented but will break your MQTT configuration if they are still present in your config.

(@jbouwh - #96771) (documentation)

---

The way MQTT entities are named and how device configuration can be shared between discovered entities has changed.

Sharing of device configuration

Discovered MQTT entities can share device configuration, meaning one entity can include the full device configuration, and other entities can link to that device by only setting mandatory fields.

The mandatory fields were previously limited to at least one of connection and identifiers, but have now been extended to at least one of connection and identifiers as well as the name.

Naming of MQTT entities

The naming of MQTT entities has been changed to be aligned with the entity naming guidelines:

• The has_entity_name entity will be set to True on all MQTT entities.
• This means any MQTT entity which is part of a device will automatically have its friendly_name attribute prefixed with the device name.
• Unnamed binary_sensor, button, event, number, and sensor entities will now be named by their device class instead of being named "MQTT binary sensor" etc.
• It's now allowed to set an MQTT entity's name to None to mark it as the main feature of a device.

(@jbouwh - #95159) (documentation)

Philips Dynalite

The Dynalite configuration panel, which previously was on the Home Assistant sidebar, has moved. It can now be accessed via the integration page in Settings > Device & services > Dynalite > Configure.

(@frenck - #95920) (documentation)

Renson

The state values of the Reason Ventilation integration have been changed to be more consistent with other integrations and are now lowercase. Additionally, it can now provide translations for the state values in the UI.

This means that the following state values have changed:

• Off -> off
• Level1 -> level1
• Level2 -> level2
• Level3 -> level3
• Level4 -> level4
• Breeze -> breeze
• Holiday -> holiday

Please update any automations where you are using the state of this Renson sensor.

(@RenierM26 - #95672) (documentation)

Flume

You might get false positives for leak detected and high flow sensors if you have old unread notifications in the Flume app.

Before, the leak detected and high flow sensors would only trigger until you read the notification in the Flume app which was too late for Home Assistant to take any automated action.

Now, they trigger regardless if you have read or not the notification. They will remain active until you delete the notification in the Flume app, similar to the old behavior documented.

Z-Wave

The entity naming logic has been updated to be less brittle. As a result, some zwave_js entities that you haven't given a custom name to may be renamed.

Since they are registered in the entity registry, the entity IDs will not change and your automations should therefore not be impacted by the change.

With this release, you will need to update your zwave-js-server instance. You must use zwave-js-server 1.31.0 or greater (schema 31).

If you use the Z-Wave JS add-on, you need at least version 0.1.88. If you use the Z-Wave JS UI add-on, you need at least version 1.15.9. If you use the Z-Wave JS UI Docker container, you need at least version 8.23.2. If you run your own Docker container or some other installation method, you will need to update your zwave-js-server instance to at least 1.31.0.

Any existing app you have created in the Twitch Developer Portal to work with this integration must be updated to work with Home Assistant's UI authentication flow. Update the app's configuration to include https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/oauth in its list of "OAuth Redirect URLs"

(@joostlek - issue#101414) (documentation)

Z-Wave

Multiple WebSocket commands have been renamed based on this change in Z-Wave JS.

With this release, you will need to update your zwave-js-server instance. You must use zwave-js-server 1.32.0 or greater (schema 32).

• If you use the Z-Wave JS add-on, you need at least version 0.1.91.
• If you use the Z-Wave JS UI add-on, you need at least version 2.0.0.
• If you use the Z-Wave JS UI Docker container, you need at least version 9.0.0.
• If you run your own Docker container or some other installation method, you will need to update your zwave-js-server instance to at least 1.32.0.

OpenUV

The OpenUV "UV Level" sensor has updated its possible state values so that translations can occur. The new values are:

• extreme
• high
• low
• moderate
• very_high

If you previously used the state values of this sensor in your automations, you will need to update them to use the new values.

OpenWeatherMap

The OpenWeatherMap rain and snow sensors now have a different unit of measurement (mm/h instead of mm) and a different device class (precipitation_itensity instead of precipitation).

(@MatteoGheza - #101485) (documentation)

Transmission

The option to set a custom polling interval has been removed. If are using custom interval and really need it, you can use the homeassistant.update_entity in an automation to poll at your custom pace. See our documentation on defining a custom polling interval for more information.

(@engrbm87 - #98858) (documentation)

Västtrafik

Västtrafik has upgraded all infrastructure for handling external access, including handling user accounts for 3rd party applications.

This means that users of the older infrastructure now need to migrate to use the new environment. Create a new account at https://developer.vasttrafik.se, then create a new application and subscribe to the Planera Resa v4 API.

Next replace your old client identifier and secret in your Home Assistant configuration.

World Air Quality Index (WAQI)

The state attributes of the WAQI air quality sensor have been moved to their own sensors. The previous state attributes are now deprecated and will be removed in 2024.5.

If you are using the state attributes of the WAQI air quality sensor, you will need to update your automations to use the new sensors.

ZHA (King of Fans)

Improved support for King of Fans (Hampton Bay) breaks previous workarounds such as template fans (example) or automations/scripts that set fan speed percentage or preset.

If you have an automation that sets speed, it will now be at one speed higher. If you set the speed at 100% before, it would actually set the speed at 75%, but now it will be 100%. If you have an automation that sets the preset to 'on' to get 100% speed, now the request will fail, and you will have to change the speed to 100% instead.

Genius Hub

The initial state of the smart plug did not reflect the same state as in the Genius Hub application. Correcting this creates a backward-incompatible change in that the behavior is now correct but different.

If you have an automation that relies on this state, you should check if your automation or script is still behaving as expected.

(@GeoffAtHome - #102110) (documentation)

Home Assistant API

When calling a service via the Home Assistant REST API, the service used to be canceled on connection drop, which is no longer the case. If you relied on that behavior, you would need to revisit the logic. With this change, a connection drop will not cancel the service call.

Also, a REST post to call a service with the /api/services/<domain>/<service> endpoint will no longer timeout after 10 seconds.

(@Shulyaka - #102657) (@MartinHjelmare - #104709) (documentation)

HomeWizard Energy

The HomeWizard HWE-SKE (the wall plugs), SDM230, and SDM630 provided duplicate sensors for energy import and export: A total and a tariff of 1.

As only a single tariff is available on those, the total and tariff 1 are always the same. To clean this up, tariff 1 has been removed.

If you used this sensor in your energy dashboard, you will need to configure your energy dashboard to use the total import/export sensor instead.

Nibe Heat Pump

S-Series entities priority-3102, hot-water-demand-mode-40057, and oper-mode-40238 are changed from a number entity to a select entity with mapping values for the possible choices.

If you have the old number entities enabled, you can delete them since they will no longer be provided by the integration.

(@elupus - #103788) (documentation)

Open Exchange Rates

Remove rounding of the exchange rate.

Exchange rates are generally more sensitive to small changes, and some quotes need many decimal numbers to be accurate. The Open Exchange Rates service will provide different significant digits for different quotes.

You can change the display precision or use a template sensor to customize the rounding of the value.

SMTP

The SMTP integration will send images as attachments to a plain text email instead of HTML in-line when the html field is not set.

Previous behavior was to send all images as HTML in-line even when the html field was not set. To continue sending images as in-line, please set the optional html field and include the images as <img src="cid:image_name.ext"> within the HTML block as described in the documentation.

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

• MyQ has been removed. Read all about it in our blog post.
• eQ-3 Bluetooth Smart Thermostats have been removed. The integration has been in a non-functional state for a long time.

Blink

The service calls of Blink have been adjusted. This affects blink.trigger_camera, blink.save_video and blink.save_recent_clips.

This change will require these service calls to be updated with a target for the camera and by removing name from data of the blink service calls.

For example, service call before 2023.11:

service: blink.save_video
data:
  name: Front door
  filename: test.mp4

Service call after 2023.11 and before 2024.1:

service: blink.save_video
data:
  device_id: 87dc3b85c18ee84f8c322a95e8230eb2

Authentication

We changed the way refresh tokens are handled. Refresh tokens are part of what keeps you logged in to Home Assistant.

Refresh tokens will be automatically deleted when unused. A refresh token is considered unused if it has not been used for a login within 90 days.

If your logged-in session hasn’t been used for 90 days, you will be logged out. You will need to log in again.

We recommend using Long-lived access tokens if you need a permanent token.

MQTT

Aux heat, deprecated in Home Assistant Core 2023.9, is now removed from the MQTT climate.

(@jbouwh - #109513) (documentation)

Z-Wave

For Z-Wave climate entities, the behavior of the climate.turn_on service has changed. Previously, the service would act in the following order depending on whether the corresponding conditions were met:

1. If the entity supported the off mode and exactly one additional mode, climate.turn_on would set the mode to the additional mode.
2. If conditions for 1 were not met and at least one of the following modes were available, the service would set the mode to the first mode it found in the specified order: heat_cool, heat, cool.
3. If conditions for 1 and 2 were not met, the service would silently do nothing.

Now, the service follows the following behavior in order:

1. If the entity supports the resume thermostat mode, it will be used to restore the last mode you used before the entity was turned off.
2. If the condition for 1 isn't met and the entity was turned off in Home Assistant, and Home Assistant wasn't restarted, Home Assistant remembers the last "on" mode and will set it to that mode. Home Assistant will be unable to set the entity to the previous mode if Home Assistant starts with the entity already in off mode since the integration will not know what the previous mode was.
3. If conditions for 1 and 2 are not met and at least one of the following modes is available, the service sets the mode to the first mode it finds in the specified order: heat_cool, heat, cool (no change to condition 2 above).
4. If conditions for 1, 2, and 3 are not met, the mode will be set to the first supported mode it finds (like dry or fan_only).

(@gjohansson-ST - #112452) (documentation)

Modbus

The Modbus integration does not allow a configuration with the device only (no entities); this will create an issue, and the entry will not be loaded.

For the special cases (like some custom_components) where it is wanted, please add a dummy entity.

(@janiversen - #113516) (documentation)

MQTT

Support for brightness is now assumed for mqtt lights with the json schema unless only color modes rgb, rgbw, or rgbww are supported.

For lights which only support color modes rgb, rgbw, or rgbww, the brightness option flag can still be set to false if brightness is not supported. In this case brightness support is emulated in Home Assistant by scaling the RGBx-values.

For all other color modes except ColorMode.ONOFF, it is assumed brightness is supported, and the brightness attribute will be included in the MQTT payload when the brightness attribute is supplied to the light.turn_on service.

The behavior on processing empty and "None" state payloads for MQTT entities has been made more predictable for alarm_control_panel, climate, cover, device_tracker, lock, select, valve, and water_heater items:

• A "None" (string) for a state payload generally means the state becomes unknown.
• An empty payload is ignored.

Previously, a "None" state could be considered invalid or ignored.

OpenWeatherMap

Migration to the new library with support of OneCall API (3.0).

OWM API v2.5 will be closed in June 2024. All OpenWeatherMap integrations must be migrated to mode (API) v3.0 to avoid service interruption.

Before the migration, you must have an active subscription (be aware that subscription activation takes up to 2h). After the subscription is activated, users can migrate integrations to mode v3.0 via repair notification or manually via the integration configuration menu.

The subscription has a free tier with 1000 calls/day. Consider setting the limit on the OpenWeatherMap website to stay under the threshold where API usage incurs a cost.

Recorder database upgrade notice

This notice applies only if you use the recorder integration with a MySQL or PostgreSQL database. If you are using the default SQLite database, you can ignore it.

This release includes a database upgrade/migration that increases the size of the number we can store for the identifier fields. For a more technical explanation, we are upgrading integer fields for ID columns from a 32-bit integer to BIGINT, which is a 64-bit integer.

This can cause the database upgrade to take longer than usual, depending on the size of your database.

To modernize the OpenTherm Gateway integration, all entities have been split into different devices. As a result, the OpenTherm Gateway climate entity has been moved to a new OpenTherm Thermostat device.

Configurations that look for the climate entity by device must be adjusted accordingly.

In the process, all entities were reviewed and some were found to be irrelevant or superfluous. These entities have been removed. All removed entities were previously disabled by default, so anyone who has never manually enabled an entity in the OpenTherm Gateway integration is not affected by this.

All other users should review their configuration for using OpenTherm Gateway entities that no longer exist or have been assigned to another device.

Pentair ScreenLogic

Support for use of an area, device, or entity as a target for ScreenLogic actions has been removed. Instead, use config_entry with the entry_id of the desired ScreenLogic

Support for using an area, device, or entity as a target for ScreenLogic actions has been removed. Instead, use config_entry with the entry_id of the desired ScreenLogic.

Ping

The binary sensor attributes this integration provided have been replaced with sensor entities in Home Assistant 2024.4. These deprecated attributes have now been removed.

(@jpbede - #125760) (documentation)

Ring

The ring.update action was deprecated in the 2024.4 release and has now been removed. Please use homeassistant.update_entity if you need a replacement.

(@jpbede - #125762) (documentation)

Squeezebox (Lyrion Music Server)

We previously noticed that the squeezebox platform had deprecated the squeezebox_sync and squeezebox_unsync actions and the sync_group entity attribute in favor of the newer "join" framework common to all media players.

These deprecated actions and entity attributes have now been removed.

(@rajlaud - #125271) (documentation)

Templates

Limit maximum template render output to 256KiB to ensure template renders do not inject unreasonable data into the system and cause a crash.

256KiB is likely to still block Home Assistant’s event loop for an unreasonable amount of time, but it's likely someone is using the template engine for large blocks of data, so we want a limit that still allows that but has a reasonable safety margin to prevent the system from crashing down.

(@bdraco - #124946)

ThermoWorks Smoke

The ThermoWorks Smoke integration is disabled because it creates an unresolvable dependency conflict.

Contributions to fixing this conflict are greatly appreciated.

(@edenhaus - #125661) (documentation)

Tfiac

The Tfiac integration is disabled because we cannot create valid Python wheels for its dependencies.

Contributions to fixing this issue are greatly appreciated.

(@edenhaus - #125692) (documentation)

Z-Wave

With this release, you will need to update your zwave-js-server instance. You must use zwave-js-server 1.37.0 or greater (schema 37).

• If you use the Z-Wave JS add-on, you need at least version 0.7.0.
• If you use the Z-Wave JS UI add-on, you need at least version 3.9.0.
• If you use the Z-Wave JS UI Docker container, you need at least version 9.16.0.
• If you run your own Docker container or some other installation method, you will need to update your zwave-js-server instance to at least 1.37.0.

(@MartinHjelmare - #125666) (documentation)

A. O. Smith

A. O. Smith now provides the hot water status as a percentage rather than low, medium, or high. The hot water status entity has been updated accordingly.

(@bdr99 - #127678) (documentation)

Google Calendar

Google Calendar events that are declined are now omitted from the calendar.

(@joelhawksley - #128900) (documentation)

HomeKit

Historically, many integrations implemented doorbells as binary sensors with a device class of occupancy. This design was replaced with the new event entities, which use a purpose-built device class of doorbell.

HomeKit will no longer automatically link binary sensors with device class occupancy as linked doorbell sensors. However, linked doorbell sensors can still be configured manually via YAML.

(@bdraco - #127668) (documentation)

Litter-Robot

Previously, Litter-Robot could have an off state. This has now changed to docked, as off isn’t a valid state for vacuum entities.

(@gjohansson-ST - #128297) (documentation)

Netatmo

The preset modes of the thermostat have been renamed in order to support translations Schedule, Frost guard, and Manual have been renamed to schedule, frost_guard, and manual.

(@piitaya - #128890) (documentation)

Tibber

The tibber.get_prices action has been adjusted to return datetimes as strings instead of raw datetime objects.

Automations or template sensors using this may need to be modified with an as_datetime filter. See our templating documentation for more information on using these filters.

(@functionpointer - #123901) (documentation)

Updates

State attributes of update entities have been changed:

• The in_progress state attribute is now always a bool, never an integer.
• A new state attribute update_percentage has been added. The update_percentage is a number between 0-100 if an update is in progress and the entity supports reporting progress, or None if an update is not in progress or an update is in progress but the entity does not support reporting progress.

Scripts, automations, custom frontend components, etc., which consume the in_progress state attribute of update entities, need to be updated accordingly.

(@emontnemery - #128877) (documentation)

WMS WebControl pro

The open/closed state of awnings will be inverted so that the UI visualization and positioning match reality. This means open (100%) now refers to the awning being completely retracted, and closed (0%) now means the awning is fully expanded. This is not in line with industry terminology, but Home Assistant does not yet natively support awnings of type patio.

(@mback2k - #128079) (documentation)

Brother Printer

The unit of measurement for pages changed from p to pages.

This could potentially break use cases if it was used in templates where a state with a unit is used, such as states('sensor.pages', with_unit=True).

(@bieniu - #131275) (documentation)

Ecovacs

Ecovacs devices not recognized by the library will no longer use the fallback vacuum. Instead, the device will not be added to Home Assistant, and a warning log will created.

(@edenhaus - #131525) (documentation)

Glances

The previously deprecated Glances v2 API has been removed. Upgrade to v3 or higher to continue using the integration.

(@gjohansson-ST - #131427) (documentation)

History Stats

After this change, history_stats in time or ratio mode will only count definitively known time-based recorded data.

Prior to this change, if the start of the time window was earlier than the oldest datapoint in the recorder, history_stats would count time using the assumption that an entity was in the first state it found since the beginning of time. This could lead to wild overcalculations when a switch was turned on after a long period of inactivity, and history_stats would assume it had always been on and calculate a huge value based on that.

(@karwosts - #126271) (documentation)

Jewish Calendar

To support Rosh Chodesh this creates a breaking change as the holiday sensor will return "Chanukah, Rosh Chodesh" when both of those days fall on the same date. If you have an automation expecting the "Chanukah" value, you must update it.

(@tsvi - #130456) (documentation)

Plugwise

For the Plugwise Adam, all device-based climate entities will be replaced by new zone-based climate entities, which will most likely have different entity names. This change aligns with the Plugwise App's representation of climate entities as zones (as discovered in Issue #130597).

(@bouwew - #131659) (documentation)

QNAP

The QNAP sensors will no longer have the following extra state attributes:

• memory_free
• memory_percent_used
• memory_size
• memory_used
• network_err
• network_link_status
• network_max_speed
• network_rx
• network_tx
• status
• system_temp
• uptime
• volume_percentage_used
• volume_size_free
• volume_size_total
• volume_size_used

These extra state attributes were deprecated in Home Assistant 2024.6 and have now been removed. If you are using this in your automation or script, use the separate available sensors instead.

(@jbouwh - #130310) (documentation)

Spotify

The Spotify audio feature sensors have been removed since Spotify removed access for them, starting 27 November.

Additionally, featured and category playlists have been removed from the Spotify media browser since Spotify deprecated the API, starting on 27 November.

(@joostlek - #131754 #131758) (documentation)

Statistics

Previously the attributes of the entity states of the Statistics integration were only provided when they had a non None value. This has now changed so the attributes are always provided even with None values. You might need to modify your automations or scripts depending on whether these attributes are present or not.

(@gjohansson-ST - #129353) (documentation)

Stookwijzer

The Stookwijzer sensor has migrated to the new API provided by Atlas Leefomgeving. As a result, the reported states are slightly different.

Old versus new:

• Blue (blauw) -> Yellow (code_yellow)
• Orange (oranje) -> Orange (code_orange)
• Red (rood) -> Red (code_red)

If you use the Stookwijzer sensor in your automations or scripts, you might need to adjust those for this change.

(@frenck - #131567) (documentation)

Templates

The this template variable which is available in some templatable helpers was previously based on the new state instead of the current state.

The change affects the following integrations, if templates use the this variable. The user might have to update their templates to reflect the above change using the value variable instead, which holds the new value.

• command_line
• rest
• scrape
• snmp
• sql

(@gjohansson-ST - #130135)

Z-Wave

With this release, you will need to update your zwave-js-server instance. You must use zwave-js-server 1.39.0 or greater (schema 39).

• If you use the Z-Wave JS add-on, you need at least version 0.9.0.
• If you use the Z-Wave JS UI add-on, you need at least version 3.17.0.
• If you use the Z-Wave JS UI Docker container, you need at least version 9.26.0.
• If you run your own Docker container or some other installation method, you will need to update your zwave-js-server instance to at least 1.39.0.

HomeWizard Energy

The unit of measurement for the "Water usage" sensor has been updated from l/min to L/min. This change standardizes the unit to improve consistency across Home Assistant.

Any automations, scripts, or templates that rely on the old unit may need to be adjusted. Long-term statistics will remain intact, but repair issues will be created to ensure the data is updated with the new unit.

(@DCSBL - #132261) (documentation)

LIFX

The options color_temp and kelvin are no longer valid arguments for LIFX actions. Please use color_temp_kelvin instead.

(@Bre77 - #132431) (documentation)

UniFi Network

The states of "Device State" sensors have been standardized to match Home Assistant core rules and be translatable. This affects the following UniFi sensor states:

• Connected, which now became connected
• Pending, which now became pending
• Firmware Mismatch, which now became firmware_mismatch
• Upgrading, which now became upgrading
• Provisioning, which now became provisioning
• Heartbeat Missed, which now became heartbeat_missed
• Adopting, which now became adopting
• Deleting, which now became deleting
• Inform Error, which now became inform_error
• Adoption Failed, which now became adoption_failed
• Isolated, which now became isolated
• Unknown, which now became unknown

If you used those states directly in your automations, scripts, or templates; you will need to adjust those to match these changes.

(@bieniu - #131921) (documentation)

Zabbix

The integration now uses the official Zabbix Python API. Because of this, the minimum supported Zabbix version is now 5.0. This change drops support for Zabbix 4 and before.

(@kruton - #131674) (documentation)

Ecovacs

The attributes on the vacuum entity for the lifespan of the main brush, side brush, and filter have been deprecated and are now removed. These attributes are superseded by dedicated sensor entities.

(@gjohansson-ST - #134492) (documentation)

Home Connect

Some appliances might lose their power entity as the API does not report the power setting.

(@Diegorro98 - #135930) (documentation)

IMGW-PIB

Some hydrology data is no longer available to Home Assistant users via IMGW-PIB API and for this reason, the following entities are removed:

• flood alarm binary sensor
• flood alarm level sensor
• flood warning binary sensor
• flood warning level sensor

(@bieniu - #134668) (documentation)

KNX

The "State Updater" option in the integration settings now works as intended. Previously, the option wasn’t applied correctly.

• When disabled: KNX will only read a state_address once when the connection is established.
• When enabled: KNX will also read any state_address if no value has been received for one hour.

Please review your integration settings to ensure this option is configured according to your preferences.

(@farmio - #135611) (documentation)

Litter-Robot

Remove extra_state_attributes from Litter-Robot vacuum entities. These were previously migrated to sensors.

(@natekspencer - #136196) (documentation)

MQTT

To change the MQTT broker settings, you need to start a reconfiguration. When CONFIGURE is selected, MQTT shows a "MQTT settings" page with subscribe and publish tools. The Re-configure MQTT button will be replaced with an MQTT options page.

The reconfiguration option will only be available from the MQTT integration entry context menu.

(@jbouwh - #133342) (documentation)

The MQTT publish action no longer supports the topic_template and payload_template attributes. Instead, only topic and payload should be used. In automation and scripts, users can use templates by default. Users were instructed to update their automations and scripts with a repair flow when the use of the deprecated action options was detected.

(@jbouwh - #134056) (documentation)

Pentair ScreenLogic

Raw states derived from ScreenLogic enums are now lowercase instead of Title Case. This change impacts:

• pH/ORP dosing state sensor entities:
• Dosing -> dosing
• Mixing -> mixing
• Monitoring -> monitoring
• The preset_mode state attribute for ScreenLogic climate entities, where raw states have also been underscored-spaced and had any punctuation removed.
• Solar -> solar
• Solar Preferred -> solar_preferred
• Heater -> heater
• Don't Change -> dont_change

These changes support the addition of translation keys for text-based entity states. You should update any references to the above states/preset_modes to the new, lowercase versions.

(@dieselrabbit - #133866) (documentation)

Automations & scripts

The wait variable and variables defined by a response_variable set in an inner scope of a script or automation now propagate to outer scopes also if a variables action is present in the inner scope.

Furthermore, variables defined by a response_variable now also propagate out from parallel sequences. Scripts and automations which relied on the older (buggy) behavior might need to be adjusted.

(@arturpragacz - #138883)

GPSD

All state attributes of the main sensor were replaced with a dedicated sensor Home Assistant in 2024.9. The deprecated attributes have now been removed.

(@jrieger - #137600) (documentation)

Home Connect

Some programs and program switches (which are being deprecated) and program select entities may not be exposed anymore by the integration as they are missing an aiohomeconnect program key enumeration (file). You can get the diagnostics from the configuration entry or the device and open an issue or submit a PR with the generated diagnostics file on the aiohomeconnect repository to suggest the missing program(s).

(@Diegorro98 - #136116) (documentation)

---

Using program and option keys that aren't in the API documentation in Home Connect actions will no longer work. To be able to use undocumented program or option keys, open an issue or submit a pull request with the required keys at MartinHjelmare/aiohomeconnect.

(@Diegorro98 - #137027) (documentation)

---

Multiple Home Connect config entries will not be allowed to be configured. For regular users where all appliances in the home are connected to the same Home Connect account, there should not be any reason to have more than one config entry since all appliances in the home will be connected to the same account and config entry.

(@Diegorro98 - #137088) (documentation)

MQTT

Legacy color_mode support for MQTT JSON lights has been removed. The support was deprecated in HA Core 2024.4.

Users with a YAML setup have been instructed to update their configuration in configuration.yaml via repair issue flow. Deprecation issues with MQTT JSON lights set up through discovery were communicated via warnings in the logs. Using the removed parameters in discovery will not break the configuration but will still log a warning.

(@jbouwh - #136996) (documentation)

Proximity

The distance is now measured to the edge of the monitored zones (it takes the radius into account), instead of to the center of the zone as before. This leads to slightly different expected distance values, which you may have to adjust accordingly in your existing automations.

(@Spcemarine - #138819) (documentation)

SmartThings

The energy and power sensors have been removed for every device that has a switch. They rarely worked because there were no energy or power capabilities available to get data from. If you do have the capabilities, it will still work for you.

(@joostlek - #138313) (documentation)

---

There are a lot of states that have been renamed; this might need an update in your automations or other configurations.

• Set options for dishwasher job state sensor in SmartThings (#139349)
• Add translatable states to SmartThings media source input (#139353)
• Add translatable states to SmartThings media playback (#139354)
• Add translatable states to oven mode in SmartThings (#139356)
• Add translatable states to oven job state in SmartThings (#139361)
• Add translatable states to robot cleaner movement in SmartThings (#139363)
• Add translatable states to robot cleaner turbo mode in SmartThings (#139364)
• Add translatable states to washer job state in SmartThings (#139368)
• Add translatable states to dryer job state in SmartThings (#139370)

Synology DSM

The scan interval option has been removed, and the default of 15 minutes is used. If needed, there is an integration-independent and common way to set a custom polling interval.

(@mib1185 - #138490) (documentation)

TechnoVE

The status sensor state high_charge_period was renamed to high_tariff_period.

(@Moustachauve - #139314) (documentation)

Automation & script variable scopes

The variables action is no longer restricted to local scopes; it can now update the value of a variable also in outer scopes. If the variable was not previously defined, it will be created in the top-level (script run) scope.

actions:
  - variables:
      x: 1
      y: 1
  - sequence:
    - variables:
        y: 2  # Updates y, which exists in the outer scope
        z: 2  # Since z is not defined yet, it is assigned in the top-level scope
  - action: persistent_notification.create
    data:
      message: "{{ x }}, {{ y }}, {{ z }}" # x=1, y=2, z=2
      # Note: previously, it would be: x=1, y=1, z undefined

If you have automations or scripts that use the same variable name in different (previously isolated) scopes, you will need to update them: simply use distinct variable names to prevent any conflicts.

(@arturpragacz - #141114)

Jewish Calendar

Holiday sensor changes:

• In Israel, "Simchat Torah" is now "Shmini Atzeret, Simchat Torah"
• In Israel, the 30th of Shvat returns "Family Day, Rosh Chodesh"

Additionally, the type_id has been removed from the state attributes, use the type if needed instead.

(@tsvi - #137247) (documentation)

Persistent notifications

Persistent notifications with notification_id config_entry_reconfigure are no longer created when an integration fails to authenticate. Automations triggering on such persistent notifications will thus no longer work.

(@emontnemery - #140932) (documentation)

Reolink

The Reolink password is now limited to 31 characters. The latest versions of the Reolink app and desktop client also have this 31-character limit. If you configured your Reolink password years ago, it is possible it is longer than 31 characters. In that case you will get a reauthentication flow asking you to change the password. Passwords longer than 31 characters can cause issues in the latest Reolink API.

(@starkillerOG - #140789) (documentation)

Theming & Typography

In this release, we’ve made foundational updates to our theming system, which include backwards incompatible changes:

• Polymer Components Removed: Legacy Polymer-based components have been fully removed. As a result, all related paper-* CSS variables have also been removed.
• Some variables have been migrated to new theme tokens.
• Others were outdated and have been removed entirely.

• New Typography Variables: We’ve introduced a new set of typography CSS variables to lay the groundwork for a more consistent and modern UI.
• These are part of an ongoing refactor and are not yet in use everywhere. More adoption will follow in future releases.

If you’re maintaining custom cards or themes, please update any usage of the following variables accordingly.

17TRACK

The previously deprecated state attributes for the 17TRACK entities have been removed.

If you relied on these attributes in your automations or scripts, you will need to update them to use the dedicated sensors instead.

(@joostlek - #142622) (documentation)

AVM FRITZ!SmartHome

The AVM Fritz!Smarthome has a concept of devices and units. A device can have multiple units with different features. We now merge all units of a device into one entry representing the physical device.

As this might remove existing devices and create new ones, you should check your automations and scripts to see if they need to be adjusted to the new device registry entries.

(@mib1185 - #142845) (documentation)

---

All the extra state attributes of the climate entity got migrated to their own entities. With this these attributes are deprecated and will be removed in Home Assistant 2025.11.

If you rely on these attributes in your automations or scripts, you will need to update them to use the dedicated sensors instead.

(@mib1185 - #143394) (documentation)

Generic Thermostat

The switch targeted by the Generic Thermostat is now only turned on when the current temperature falls outside the target temperature range (target_temp +- tolerances).

Previously, it would also turn on when the temperature was equal to the limit of the target range.

(@esand - #138209) (documentation)

HomeKit Bridge

The name configured in Home Assistant now takes precedence for the following HomeKit child accessories:

• Fan presets (switches)
• Media player sources (switches)
• Power strips (Input Select, etc) (outlets)
• Triggers (stateless programmable switches)

This fixes an issue where the name is missing in HomeKit for these child accessories. The downside is that the name provided by Home Assistant has to be changed in Home Assistant (where applicable).

(@bdraco - #142531) (documentation)

Google Maps Travel Time

Google has deprecated the Distance Matrix API. The new Routes API does not provide the state attributes Destination addresses and Origin addresses anymore.

The amount of free requests got halved, resulting in the sensor now refreshing every 10 minutes instead of every 5 minutes.

(@eifinger - #140691) (documentation)

La Marzocco

La Marzocco released the gateway firmware v5 last month, which stopped supporting local communication. We now fully support this firmware; support for older firmware has been dropped.

The following entities and controls are missing, either because they are no longer supported by the app or not part of the new library version yet:

• Steam & coffee boiler temperatures
• Shot timer sensor
• Scale support
• Steam temperature number
• Prebrew & Preinfusion numbers

(@zweckj - #142098) (documentation)

Network UPS Tools (NUT)

The status sensor has changed, providing the state from the UPS Display.

Previously, multiple states would be concatenated using a space, which made them harder to read and process. As of this release, multiple statuses are separated using a comma instead.

(@bonanitech - #141335) (documentation)

---

The scan interval option has been removed from NUT. Scans default to once every 60 seconds. If needed, an integration-independent and common method can be used to set a custom polling interval.

(@tdfountain - #141845) (documentation)

Opower

If you return energy to the grid, you will have to reconfigure your energy dashboard.

For improved experience in the energy dashboard, negative energy consumption/cost values have been separated into two dedicated return/compensation statistics.

Add Opower {utility name} elec {account number} return under Return to grid to see return energy statistics. Track return compensation using Opower {utility name} elec {account number} compensation.

(@parkerbxyz - #135258) (documentation)

Overkiz

Previously, for Atlantic Electrical Towel Dryer devices, the ‘auto’ HVAC mode in Home Assistant was mapped to the ‘prog’ mode in Overkiz.

Now, the ‘auto’ mode in Home Assistant will correspond directly to the ‘auto’ mode in Overkiz, while the ‘prog’ mode can be selected using presets.

Persistent notifications

Persistent notifications are no longer created when devices are discovered.

Automations that trigger on the persistent notification config_entry_discovery should be updated to instead trigger on the event config_entry_discovered.

Total Connect

The previously deprecated state attributes for the Total Connect alarm control panel have been removed.

If you relied on these attributes in your automations or scripts, you will need to update them to use the dedicated sensors instead.

(@joostlek - #142625) (documentation)

Met Office

Met Office deprecated the Datapoint API used by this integration, causing it to stop working. To address this, it is now migrated to DataHub API.

To keep using this integration, you will need to provide a new API key, which can be obtained by signing up for DataHub and subscribing to Global spot dataset. The free subscription provides 360 calls per day, which is enough for this integration to work.

Some sensors have changed due to the new data source:

• Hourly forecast provided by the weather entity now has actual hourly entries as opposed to 3-hourly in the old version
• Instead of visibility and visibility_distance sensors showing a range and qualitative description (such as "1-4 km" and "Poor"), the integration now exposes a single visibility sensor with precise visibility distance in meters
• The integration no longer exposes "daily" and "3-hourly" sensors; there is a single set of them now
• The integration sensors no longer expose Site ID, Site name and Sensor ID attributes as these don't provide any additional value

UniFi Protect

Support for UniFi Protect installations running on versions below 6.0.0 has been removed.

This change is necessary as we are migrating the Home Assistant integration to use the new UniFi Protect Public API, which is only available in current versions.

If you are running an older version of UniFi Protect, you will need to upgrade to at least version 6.0.0 in order to continue using this integration.

You can read more about the 6.0 release in Ubiquiti’s official blog post: 🔗 Introducing Protect 6.0

Note on future updates: The Public API is still under active development and may change over time. As we continue to migrate more features of the integration to use the Public API, it is likely that the minimum required version of UniFi Protect will increase further in upcoming Home Assistant releases. We will make these changes step by step as the API evolves and new capabilities become available.

What do I need to do?

Upgrade your UniFi Protect installation to version 6.0.0 or later.

Be prepared for possible further minimum version increases in the future.

If you are already using version 6.0.0 or newer, and the user in use has sufficient permissions, the integration will attempt to automatically create a new API key. If this succeeds, no further action is required. If it fails, a reauthentication will be triggered, requiring you to re-enter your password and provide your API key manually.

Motion Blinds

The tilt position of motion_blinds devices has been corrected to align with the Home Assistant standards. The new tilt position will be: 0 = closed/covering the window opening, 100 = open/letting light through. The previous tilt position can be converted to the new tilt position as follows:

• new = 100 - old
• current_tilt_position = 100 -> 0
• current_tilt_position = 75 -> 25
• current_tilt_position = 50 -> 50
• current_tilt_position = 25 -> 75
• current_tilt_position = 0 -> 100
• open_cover_tilt -> close_cover_tilt
• close_cover_tilt -> open_cover_tilt

Any automations concerning Motion Blinds devices that use the current_tilt_position attribute or use tilt open/close will need to be adjusted.

Mobile app

The mobile_app integration, which supports the iPhone and Android companion apps, now handles zone-only updates better. When your companion app sends just the zone name (not the exact coordinates), the device tracker will show the zone's friendly name.

The person entity now shows the zone's friendly name (not its object ID) for custom zones. This might break existing automations that trigger on a person's state.

As an example, if you have a zone named zone.kids_school with the friendly name School:

• Before this change, the state of the corresponding person and device_tracker entities would be kids_school when the "Location Sent" in the companion app was set to send "Zone Name Only" and School when it was set to "Exact".
• After this change, the state of the corresponding person and device_tracker entities will be School for both the "Location Sent" settings in the companion app.

Traccar Server

The Traccar integration has been updated to use a more secure API Token for authentication. This is a required, one-time breaking change to align with Traccar's security recommendations and ensure the integration continues to work.

This release migrates the integration away from the older username/password method, ensuring continued stability and security for all users while also allowing users with SSO-based setups to use the integration.

When you update Home Assistant, the existing Traccar integration will need to be re-authenticated:

1. Generate an API Token on your Traccar server (you'll find this option in your Traccar server's user settings).
2. Go to Settings > Devices & services > Traccar Server.
3. Click "Reconfigure" and enter your new API Token when prompted.

Once you've done this, your Traccar devices and entities will work exactly as they did before.

The ignition and autostart state attributes of the engine switch have been removed. Two new binary sensors have been introduced to replace them. If you reference these attributes in your automations or scripts, update them to use the new binary sensor entities instead.

(@epenet - #163289) (StarLine documentation)

Tado

Mobile device tracking has been removed from the Tado integration. Mobile devices and their associated device tracker entities are no longer available. This change resolves re-authentication issues and reduces unnecessary load on the Tado API.

(@erwindouna - #160881) (Tado documentation)

Template

The behavior of template fans has changed:

• A template fan's state will be unavailable if the state template encounters a syntax error. Previously, a template error would show the fan's state as off.
• The percentage attribute will be None if the percentage template encounters a syntax error. Previously, it would be 0.
• Template fans can now have the unknown state. A state template that returns None will render the entity as unknown instead of off.

(@Petro31 - #162328) (Template documentation)

Z-Wave

Percentage speeds reported by Z-Wave fans have been corrected to align with other integrations. As a result, values may differ slightly. For example, a value previously reported as 67% may now appear as 66%. If you have automations that trigger on exact percentage values, you may need to adjust them.

(@arturpragacz - #163093) (Z-Wave documentation)

JVC Projector

The Picture Mode and HDR Processing entities have been migrated from the sensor domain to the select domain, because they represent selectable settings rather than read-only values.

New entities:

• select.jvc_projector_picture_mode
• select.jvc_projector_hdr_processing

The legacy sensor entities are now deprecated. If a deprecated sensor is disabled and not referenced by automations or scripts, Home Assistant will remove it from the entity registry. If usage is detected, Home Assistant keeps it and shows a repair issue to help you migrate. Update your automations, scripts, dashboards, and templates to use the new select entities.

(@SteveEasley - #165194) (JVC Projector documentation)

Litter-Robot

The deprecated night light mode switch entity for Litter-Robot 4 devices has been removed. This switch was replaced by a select entity in Home Assistant 2025.10. If you still use the old switch entity in your automations or scripts, update them to use the select entity instead.

(@natekspencer - #165636) (Litter-Robot documentation)

Motion Blinds

On devices that support tilt but do not report a tilt position, the tilt open and tilt close operations now send jog up and jog down commands instead of setting the tilt angle to 0° or 180°. Setting an absolute tilt position usually didn't work on these devices anyway, and jog commands provide a meaningful small step in the intended direction.

If you have automations that rely on the previous tilt behavior for these devices, you may need to adjust them.

(@tobiaswaldvogel - #164694) (Motion Blinds documentation)

MQTT

Support for the object_id option has been removed after 6 months of deprecation. This option was used to suggest the entity ID for an MQTT entity and has been replaced by the default_entity_id configuration option.

If you used object_id in your MQTT YAML configuration, you were previously asked via a repair flow to update your configuration. If object_id is still part of a discovery message, the option will simply be ignored and will not break discovery.

(@jbouwh - #164460) (MQTT documentation)

pyLoad

pyLoad 0.4.x is now deprecated, and you should switch to pyLoad-ng 0.5.0. pyLoad-ng introduced a new API, and support for the old API has been dropped.

(@tr4nt0r - #164495) (pyLoad documentation)

Roth Touchline

The preset mode names for the Roth Touchline climate entities have been updated to use standard Home Assistant preset names, making them translatable. If you have automations or scripts that reference the old preset mode names, update them to use the new names:

• Normal → none
• Night → sleep
• Holiday → away
• Pro 1 → program_1
• Pro 2 → program_2
• Pro 3 → program_3

(@joostlek - #166390) (Roth Touchline documentation)

Tuya

Previously deprecated switch entities used to control valves have been removed. Use the valve entities instead. If you have automations or scripts that reference these switch entities, update them to use the corresponding valve entities.

(@epenet - #164657) (Tuya documentation)

Z-Wave

The Z-Wave Installer panel has been removed. This panel was hidden and required an undocumented YAML configuration to enable. The same functionality is now natively available through Z-Wave JS UI in the Z-Wave app.

(@AlCalzone - #165388) (Z-Wave documentation)

Purpose-specific triggers and conditions

When we first introduced purpose-specific triggers and conditions, we added separate ones for Person entities and Device Tracker entities. Since then, we've decided to take a more ergonomic, cross-domain approach instead.

As a result, the entered home and left home triggers, and the is home and is not home conditions, have been removed from Person and Device Tracker. Replacements that work across both will land in an upcoming release.

If you have automations that use these triggers or conditions on a person or device tracker, switch them back to a regular state trigger or state condition (for example, state changed to home) until the cross-domain replacements arrive.

(@emontnemery - #168406)

Gardena Bluetooth

The "finish watering" value in the Gardena Bluetooth integration has been moved from a binary sensor to a regular sensor that exposes the timestamp of when watering is expected to finish. This makes the value far more useful in dashboards and automations.

If you have automations, scripts, or dashboards that reference the previous binary sensor entity, update them to use the new sensor entity instead.

(@elupus - #169476) (Gardena Bluetooth documentation)

pilight

The pilight integration has been disabled because the underlying pilight library relies on setuptools.pkg_resources, which is no longer available in setuptools 82.0.0 and later.

If the library is updated to remove the setuptools.pkg_resources dependency, or replaced with a maintained alternative that does so, the integration can be activated again. Community contributions to make this happen are very welcome.

(@epenet - #167760) (pilight documentation)

Ring

The Ring doorbell event entity now emits the standardized ring event type instead of the legacy ding. This change aligns Ring with the new doorbell event standard, so the entity can be used seamlessly with the new purpose-specific automation triggers and conditions.

If you have automations that listen for the ding event type from your Ring doorbell, update them to use ring instead.

(@abmantis - #167728) (Ring documentation)

Supervisor

Previously, all actions registered by the Supervisor integration (such as hassio.addon_start, hassio.backup_partial, and hassio.host_reboot) only logged an error on failure, and your script or automation would continue running regardless of whether the action succeeded.

These actions now properly raise on failure, which means your automation or script will stop unless continue_on_error is set to true. If you rely on the previous behavior, add continue_on_error: true to those action steps.

(@mdegat01 - #166558) (Supervisor documentation)

Webhook

The local_only option on webhooks must now be a proper boolean (true or false). Previously, other truthy values like 1 or "yes" were silently accepted. This brings the option in line with the rest of Home Assistant.

If you have webhooks configured in YAML with non-boolean local_only values, update them to use true or false.

(@edenhaus - #169296) (Webhook documentation)

Purpose-specific triggers (Labs)

The behavior options for the Labs purpose-specific triggers have been renamed to better match what they do: any is now each, and last is now all. The default is now each.

If you have automations that use these triggers from the Labs preview at Settings > System > Labs, open them in the automation editor and re-pick the behavior option. Any YAML you wrote against the old keys needs to be updated to the new names.

(@emontnemery - #172348)

Bluetooth

The default Bluetooth scanning mode has changed to Auto, which dynamically switches between active and passive scanning depending on what is happening. This saves around 95-96% of the battery used for Bluetooth scanning while keeping the same functionality for most setups.

If you run into issues after the upgrade, you can switch your Bluetooth adapter back to Active scanning. Go to Settings > Devices & services, open the Bluetooth integration, and select Configure on your adapter to change the scanning mode.

(@bdraco - #171985) (Bluetooth documentation)

Certificate Expiry

The error attribute on the certificate expiry sensor now returns a proper None value instead of the string "None" when there is no error.

If you use this attribute in templates, update your comparisons from == "None" to is none.

(@TomFilsell - #170878) (Certificate Expiry documentation)

ESPHome

The default Bluetooth proxy scanning mode for ESPHome devices is now Auto. Devices that were previously set to Active are automatically migrated to Auto, while devices set to Passive keep their setting.

If you need Active scanning for a specific device, change it back in the device options under Settings > Devices & services.

(@bdraco - #171996) (ESPHome documentation)

HDMI-CEC

Calling the turn_off action on HDMI-CEC switch or media player entities now sends the standard CEC standby command instead of a vendor-specific power-off command. This works more reliably across devices from different manufacturers.

If you relied on the previous behavior, you can send the original command using the hdmi_cec.send_command action with keypress 0x44 followed by 0x6c.

(@pattyland - #170206) (HDMI-CEC documentation)

IronOS

The uptime sensor for IronOS soldering irons has changed from a duration sensor (reporting seconds) to a timestamp sensor that reports when the device was started.

Update any automations or dashboards that read this sensor to work with the new timestamp format.

(@tr4nt0r - #169699) (IronOS documentation)

ONVIF

When you call the onvif.ptz action with continuous_duration: 0, the integration no longer sends a Stop command after the ContinuousMove. This lets you start a continuous movement and stop it later with a separate call.

If your automations rely on the camera stopping automatically, set continuous_duration to the desired duration in seconds.

(@yoxcu - #163173) (ONVIF documentation)

Shelly

Shelly devices used as Bluetooth scanners now support the new Auto scanning mode. Existing devices set to Active are automatically migrated to Auto for better battery and performance.

You can change the scanning mode back in the device options under Settings > Devices & services.

(@bdraco - #172008) (Shelly documentation)

SmartThings

The source attribute on SmartThings media players is now normalized to standard Home Assistant values. For example, D.IN is now reported as digital_input and BT as bluetooth.

If you use the source attribute in automations, dashboards, or templates, update them to match the new values.

(@felipecrs - #160034) (SmartThings documentation)

Template entities

The legacy template platform syntax under the individual platform keys has been removed. This syntax was deprecated in Home Assistant 2025.12 and has now reached the end of its 6-month deprecation period.

This affects the following platforms:

• alarm_control_panel
• binary_sensor
• cover
• fan
• light
• lock
• sensor
• switch
• vacuum
• weather

Move your template entities to the modern template: syntax. A step-by-step migration guide is available in the Removal of legacy template entities forum thread.

(@Petro31 - #169608, #169610, #169611, #169613, #169615, #169725, #169728, #169730, #169732, #169734) (Template documentation)

Tuya

The unit of measurement provided by the Tuya API now takes precedence over the default unit assigned by Home Assistant. This makes the reported value match what the Tuya app shows.

If your device reports an invalid or unexpected unit, please submit a bug report with the device details and the unit it reports and adjust it accordingly.

(@epenet - #170338) (Tuya documentation)

Velux

The deprecated velux.reboot_gateway action has been removed. Use the reboot button entity on your Velux gateway instead.

(@wollew - #169796) (Velux documentation)

Purpose-specific triggers and conditions

Several entity triggers and conditions, part of the new purpose-specific triggers and conditions, have been renamed so their keys are consistent across all domains. The old keys no longer work.

The following triggers changed:

• battery.low is now battery.became_low
• battery.not_low is now battery.no_longer_low
• lawn_mower.docked is now lawn_mower.returned_to_dock
• schedule.turned_off is now schedule.block_ended
• schedule.turned_on is now schedule.block_started
• timer.time_remaining is now timer.remaining_time_reached
• update.update_became_available is now update.became_available
• vacuum.docked is now vacuum.returned_to_dock

The following conditions changed:

• climate.target_humidity is now climate.is_target_humidity
• climate.target_temperature is now climate.is_target_temperature

If an automation or script uses one of these, it will stop working until updated. To fix it, open the affected automation or script, re-select the trigger or condition (it now appears under its new name), and save. If you edit in YAML, replace the old key with the new one from the list above.

(@frenck - #174463)

BSB-LAN

The BSB-LAN integration has reduced its support for the older version 1 JSON API. If your BSB-LAN device runs very old firmware that only speaks the version 1 API, update it to firmware that supports the version 2 API to keep everything working.

A repair notification will let you know if your device is affected.

(@liudger - #172843) (BSB-LAN documentation)

iCloud

The battery_level attribute has been removed from iCloud device tracker entities. Use the dedicated battery sensor in your automations and scripts instead.

(@some-random-climber - #174117) (iCloud documentation)

Person

Person entities no longer report the latitude and longitude of the home zone when their location comes from a presence scanner associated with the home zone.

If you have automations or scripts that check the coordinates of a person, adjust them. To check whether a person is in a specific zone, use the new in_zones state attribute instead.

(@emontnemery - #173042) (Person documentation)

Rabbit Air

The Rabbit Air fan preset mode values changed from title case to lowercase to match Home Assistant's state convention: Auto is now auto, Manual is now manual, and Pollen is now pollen. The user-facing labels stay the same through translations.

Update any automations, scripts, templates, or action calls that reference the old title-case preset values.

(@MagikalUnicorn - #172931) (Rabbit Air documentation)

Reolink

Reolink Duo PoE and Duo WiFi dual-lens cameras now expose a sub-device per lens. The camera and motion/AI sensor entities that previously had a "lens 0" or "lens 1" suffix in their name are moved to the new lens sub-devices and lose that suffix. Entity IDs and custom names stay the same, so most automations keep working.

If you target these entities through the camera device, update them to use the new lens sub-devices.

(@Markus98 - #173037) (Reolink documentation)

StarLine

The battery_level attribute has been removed from StarLine device tracker entities. Use the dedicated battery sensor in your automations and scripts instead.

(@some-random-climber - #174118) (StarLine documentation)

Tesla Fleet

The route device tracker (device_tracker.<vehicle>_route) no longer reports the active route's destination name as its state. Its state is now derived from your zones like a normal device tracker (home, not_home, or a zone name), based on the route's coordinates.

The destination name is still available through the new destination sensor (sensor.<vehicle>_destination), which is disabled by default. Enable it from the entity settings if you have automations that relied on the destination name, and update any automations that matched the old route tracker state.

(@Bre77 - #172513) (Tesla Fleet documentation)

Teslemetry

The route device tracker no longer reports the active route's destination as its state or through a location_name attribute. Its state is now derived purely from the route's coordinates (zone-aware, like home or not_home).

If you relied on the destination name, enable the new Destination sensor (sensor.*_destination), which is disabled by default and reports the destination name as Tesla provides it.

(@Bre77 - #172514) (Teslemetry documentation)

Tractive

The battery_level attribute has been removed from Tractive device tracker entities. Use the dedicated battery sensor in your automations and scripts instead.

(@bieniu - #172756) (Tractive documentation)

Zeroconf

The legacy requires_api_password field has been removed from the Home Assistant zeroconf/mDNS discovery announcement (_home-assistant._tcp). It had been hardcoded to true since the http.api_password authentication mechanism was removed in Home Assistant 2024.7, so it no longer carried any meaning. The official companion apps already ignore it.

Third-party discovery clients that still read this field need to tolerate its absence.

(@agners - #173090) (Zeroconf documentation) (API documentation)

Zone

The state (person count) and persons attribute of zone entities are now calculated from the in_zones attribute of person entities. As a result, a person can now be counted in more than one zone at the same time. For example, a person who is home with in_zones: ["home", "near_home"] now counts toward both zone.home and zone.near_home, where previously they only counted toward zone.home.

In addition, the state of position-aware device trackers is now the smallest zone the device is in, instead of the zone whose center it is closest to.

Automations, scripts, or templates that depend on zone person counts or on device tracker zone states may need to be adjusted.

(@emontnemery - #172942, #173106) (Zone documentation)

Z-Wave JS

This release requires an updated Z-Wave JS server. You need zwave-js-server 3.9.0 or newer (schema 49):

• If you use the Z-Wave JS app, update it to at least version 1.4.0.
• If you use the Z-Wave JS UI Docker container, update it to at least version 11.19.1.
• If you run your own zwave-js-server, update it to at least version 3.9.0.

(@AlCalzone - #173309) (Z-Wave JS documentation)

AirNow

The station radius option has been removed. The 2026 AirNow API no longer uses a distance parameter, so the radius had no effect on which reporting station was used. Existing entries are updated automatically, and any radius you had set is discarded. No action is needed.

(@derekcentrico - #176740) (AirNow documentation)

Gardena Bluetooth

The valve's activation_reason sensor now reports a fixed set of values instead of free-form text. If you have automations, scripts, or templates that match on the old text values, update them to match the new ones.

(@elupus - #177187)

Edifier Infrared

If you set up the Edifier Infrared integration for the R2000DB or R2730DB speakers, some buttons were mapped to the wrong infrared codes (on the R2730DB, power and mute were swapped). The mappings are now corrected and migrated automatically. If you built automations or scripts around the old, incorrect buttons, update them to match.

(@abmantis - #177472) (Edifier Infrared documentation)

Ohme

The Ohme energy sensor has been removed. It reported an estimate of the energy stored in the car's battery rather than the energy delivered by the charger, which caused confusing jumps in the energy dashboard, and the vendor's API no longer provides a useful value.

If you tracked this sensor, use an Integration - Riemann sum helper on a power sensor to estimate the energy instead.

(@dan-r - #174664) (Ohme documentation)

Paperless-ngx

Paperless-ngx now requires a newer version of your Paperless-ngx server. The minimum supported server version is raised to 2.19, which also restores compatibility with Paperless-ngx 3.0. If your Paperless-ngx server is on version 2.18 or older, update it before you update Home Assistant.

(@IngmarStein - #176889) (Paperless-ngx documentation)

Robot vacuums

The deprecated battery_level property has been removed from the vacuum entities of several integrations. If you use a robot vacuum's battery level in an automation, script, or on a dashboard, use the vacuum's battery sensor instead.

This affects the following integrations:

• LG ThinQ
• Neato
• Romy
• Shark IQ
• SwitchBot Cloud
• Template
• TP-Link
• Xiaomi Miio

(@gjohansson-ST - #175681, #175684, #175685, #175686, #175687, #175688, #175691, #175764)

ScreenLogic

The option to configure the polling interval has been removed from ScreenLogic. Home Assistant now polls the integration at a fixed interval. If you need a different update frequency, you can set your own polling interval or trigger an update with the homeassistant.update_entity action.

(@Pinball3D - #175576) (ScreenLogic documentation)

UniFi Protect

Support for UniFi Protect AI Port devices has been removed. These devices only ever exposed diagnostic sensors, all disabled by default, and are not part of the UniFi Protect public API the integration is moving to. The AI Port device and its sensors are removed automatically when you update. You can still configure the AI Port directly in UniFi Protect.

(@RaHehl - #174378) (UniFi Protect documentation)

Detection scores are no longer available. The detection binary sensors (motion, person, vehicle, animal, and the smart-audio alarm sensors) now take their state from the UniFi Protect public API, which carries no per-event score, so their event_score attribute is gone and automations that filter on it need another condition. The event id and the detected types moved to the new Motion detection, Smart detection, and Sound detection event entities.

(@RaHehl - #174948) (UniFi Protect documentation)

UniFi Protect 7.1 or newer is now required. On an older console the integration reports that the version is too old instead of setting up. Update UniFi Protect to 7.1 or newer to keep using it.

(@RaHehl - #177620) (UniFi Protect documentation)

Volvo On Call

The Volvo On Call integration has been removed. If you have a supported Volvo, set up the newer Volvo integration instead.

(@gjohansson-ST - #175677)

Flexit Nordic (BACnet)

The deprecated fireplace mode switch entity has been removed. If you have automations or scripts that use switch.<device>_fireplace_mode, use the climate.set_preset_mode action on the Flexit climate entity with preset_mode: fireplace instead.

(@magnusoverli - #179272) (Flexit Nordic (BACnet) documentation)

KNX

KNX exposes no longer send an entity's first value to the KNX bus. Previously, this depended on timing: if the entity already had a value when the expose was set up, nothing was sent, but if the value arrived later, it was sent to the bus right away.

Now, both cases behave the same way. The first value is adopted locally without sending a telegram, but stays available for read requests and periodic sending. Later value changes are still sent as before.

To send the first value right away, turn on Send on initialization for the expose in the KNX panel, or set send_on_init: true in your YAML configuration.

(@Kolbi - #178793) (KNX documentation)

LLM APIs

LLM tool names are now prefixed with the domain of the integration that offers them. For example, GetLiveContext becomes homeassistant__GetLiveContext and HassTurnOn becomes intent__HassTurnOn. If you have a custom prompt that names a tool directly, update it to use the new prefixed name.

(@balloob - #179938)

Persistent Notification

Updating a persistent notification that already exists now triggers an update_type of updated instead of added. If you have an automation that triggers on an update_type of added to catch every new or changed notification, add updated to the list of types it triggers on.

(@davidlang42 - #171067) (Persistent Notification documentation)

UniFi Protect

The smart detection switches (for example Detections: Person, Detections: Vehicle, and the audio alarm toggles) are no longer hidden while recording is disabled. They now stay available and follow the same public API as the other camera configuration switches. Their entity IDs and what happens when you toggle them are unchanged.

(@RaHehl - #174963) (UniFi Protect documentation)

UniFi Protect 7.2.105 or newer is now required. On an older version, the integration stops setting up and tells you to update. Update UniFi Protect, then reload the integration.

(@RaHehl - #179954) (UniFi Protect documentation)

Update

Installing an update, skipping an update, and clearing a skipped update now require an administrator account. These are configuration-level actions, so they are now restricted to admins, like other sensitive actions in Home Assistant.

Automations are not affected, because they run without a user context. A script runs in the context of the user who started it, so a script that installs or skips an update now fails when a non-admin user starts it. Trigger it from an automation instead, or start it as an admin.

(@balloob - #178232) (Update documentation)

Vacuum

The deprecated battery_level property has been removed from the base vacuum entity. All core vacuum integrations were already migrated in Home Assistant 2026.8. If a custom integration still sets this property, it no longer reports a battery level; add a separate battery sensor instead.

(@gjohansson-ST - #175682) (Vacuum documentation)

Z-Wave JS

The Z-Wave actions to manage lock users and credentials (set_user, delete_user, delete_all_users, set_credential, delete_credential, and delete_all_credentials) now require an administrator account.

(@balloob - #177300) (Z-Wave JS documentation)
