Home Assistant Core 2023.9.0 → 2023.10.0

HomeKit Bridge

The HomeKit integration now supports media player receivers. HomeKit expects receivers to be paired in accessory mode. Existing receivers paired in bridge mode should be re-added in accessory mode.

Modbus

The close_comm_on_error configuration is no longer optional, sockets will always be closed on error. Therefore, the close_comm_on_error is now deprecated and will be removed in Home Assistant 2024.3.

MQTT

An MQTT lock with a configured state topic will initialize with state unknown instead of state unlocked unless the lock is set to optimistic mode.

MQTT locks set to optimistic mode will still be initialized with the unlocked state. You should check if your automations are affected.

NZBGet

The option to set a custom scan interval in NZBGet via the options UI has been removed. The update interval is now every 5 seconds.

If you want to restore the custom scan interval behavior, please see the homeassistant.update_entity service.

OpenTherm Gateway

Some of the older binary sensors and sensors from the OpenTherm gateway have been deprecated since January 2021. They have now been removed. Please use the new binary sensors and sensors that have been created since.

Pentair ScreenLogic

Some entity names have changed. The integration will migrate old entities to new names/IDs. You may have to manually update old entities used in, for example, your dashboards.

Invalid entities such as "Saturation Index" are removed if the required equipment is not configured.

Supervisor

The default name given to backups created with the hassio.full_backup and hassio.partial_backup services are no longer the UTC date and time the backup was initiated. Instead, the local date and time are used for the name.

Twitch

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"
