Home Assistant Core 2024.10.0 → 2024.11.0

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
