Home Assistant Core 2024.8.0 → 2024.9.0

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.

Last release included a database upgrade/migration that increases the size of the number we can store for the identifier fields.

Not all migrations were successful despite being marked as successful. This release will do the migration again, but will catch unsuccessful migrations.

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

Please be patient and let the upgrade process finish. Do not interrupt the upgrade process, as this can lead to a corrupted database.

Overkiz

Atlantic CozyTouch Water Heaters will now show the Manual operation mode as Electric.

A binary sensor was added to indicate if the manual mode is activated.

Users that have automations or scripts using these entities together with the Manual mode should update the automations or scripts accordingly.

Proximity

In 2024.2, we introduced new sensor entities to the Proximity integration and therefore deprecated the proximity entity.

Now this deprecated proximity entity has been removed.

Sensibo

The previous PM2.5 sensor for Pure devices was incorrectly reporting a PM2.5 value, but it's actually a number representing an AQI level. The sensor will now provide the new states of 'good', 'moderate', and 'bad'.

@gjohansson-ST - #124151 (documentation)

Starline

System monitor

Removes the deprecated process sensor from the System Monitor integration. This sensor has been provided as a binary sensor for 6 months, raising a repair issue.

@gjohansson-ST - #123616 (documentation)

TP-Link Smart Home

The binary sensor for "Update available" will no longer be provided by the TP-Link Smart Home integration.

It will be replaced in a subsequent release with the Update entity but is disabled for now due to stability issues when calling the TP-Link cloud API to check the latest firmware version. This may cause devices to go offline. They need to be power-cycled to function again. The sensor was also unreliable and may have returned incorrect data because of rate limiting from the TP-Link cloud.

Velux

The YAML configuration for the Velux integration was removed. The configuration has been moved to the UI in Home Assistant 2024.2.

The YAML configuration was automatically imported and should be removed from your YAML configuration.

Zigbee Home Automation

• The IKEA Starkvind fan modes have been updated. Automations that used to set the fan to 10% speed to switch it to "auto mode", should now be updated to set the preset to "auto."

In auto mode, the actual fan speed is now properly displayed.

For more information, see the PR in the ZHA repo.

• The firmware update entity logic has changed. A device will only be considered "up-to-date" if there is a known firmware update for it and the current firmware version is greater than the firmware update version. If there is no known firmware update, the device firmware state will be considered "unknown", as we can't tell if it's up to date or not.

Previously, we showed "up-to-date" if there was no known firmware which misrepresented the state for many devices.
