Home Assistant Core 2024.4.0 → 2024.5.0

AVM Fritz!SmartHome

Activating the HVAC mode heat no longer overwrites the current target temperature with the comfort temperature but retains the currently set target temperature unless the thermostat is in HVAC mode off, in which case the comfort temperature is still set.

Use the available presets or the set temperature service to set the target temperature for HVAC-mode heat.

Big Ass Fans

The BAF fan Auto preset mode has been renamed to auto. Any scripts or automations using this need to be updated accordingly.

ecobee

The preset modes Away, Home, and Sleep have been renamed to the lower-case variants away, home, and sleep.

This is consistent with the rest of Home Assistant, which also means Home Assistant can support icons and translations for these.

If you used these preset modes in your automations or scripts, you will need to update them to use the new names.

Honeywell Total Connect Comfort (US)

The auxiliary heat climate option has been deprecated and will be removed in Home Assistant 2024.10.

Use the newly added emergency heat switch entity to set the thermostat mode to the previous auxiliary heat mode.

IMAP

The default for new entries is that the text and headers will no longer be included in the imap_content event data. Instead, if needed, you can fetch the email content using the imap.fetch service.

It will not break for existing entries where we assume text and headers are included.

LG Netcast

Turn on action for turning the TV on via a custom script within configuration.yaml has been changed to use a custom automation trigger lg_netcast.turn_on or a device trigger that can be set up from the UI.

The state of the Netatmo health index sensor provided by the weather station now exposes the state in lowercase.

Recorder

Previously, recorder.purge_entities called with no arguments would purge all entities. This PR makes this call raise an error instead.

It was too easy for users to accidentally purge their entire database using the old logic. Users who want to purge all entities can still use the recorder.purge service to achieve the same effect, and that service is more obvious in how it behaves.
