Breaking

Targeting labels in automations and scripts

Configuration and diagnostic entities with a label assigned to them will now be targeted/affected by service actions targeting that label. Previously, those entity categories were ignored on service action calls targeting labels.

If you have an automation or script with an action targeting a label, make sure that only entities that should be affected have that label assigned, even if they are config or diagnostic entities.

Breaking

HERE Travel Time

HERE deprecated the previous free tier. The new Base Plan has 5000 free requests per month. The automatic update interval of the HERE Travel Time integration changed from 5 minutes to 30 minutes, so one route can be supported without costs.

Breaking

Home Connect

The Home Connect Alarm clock entity has been removed from the time platform, please use the number entity instead.

Breaking

Shelly

Removed previously deprecated extra attributes, please review your automations.

Shelly Gas:

  • The Detected attribute of the Gas entity has been removed, the Gas detected entity should be used instead.
  • The Self test attribute of the Operation entity has been removed, the Self test entity should be used instead.

Shelly Air:

  • The Operational hours of the Lamp Life entity has been removed, if you still want that info please use a template entity.

Breaking

Slide Local

The effect of the property "invert position" is extended from the position itself to the status (open or closed). With this adjustment, it is no longer necessary to use cover templates to invert the position to correct the status. If you have covers with inverted position and are using the state in automations, you must adjust the automations accordingly.

Breaking

SmartThings

The windFree preset mode for the air conditioner has been renamed to wind_free to allow translation to happen. Please adapt automations accordingly.

(@joostlek - #152833) (smartthings docs)

Breaking

Tibber

Switch Tibber electricity pricing to 15-minute intervals.

  • The tibber.get_prices action now returns 15-minute data instead of hourly.
  • The price_level attribute is removed and no longer supported.
  • The intraday_price_ranking attribute is now scaled to (0,1) to better support 15-minute prices.

Breaking

Zabbix

We removed official support for Zabbix 5.0 from the integration. While this does not directly break connections to Zabbix 5.0, future updates will not check for compatibility with this version. Note that Zabbix 5 LTS left its support window in May of 2025.

Breaking

ZHA

Removes the extra ZHA specific cover entity attributes, their values were no longer populated.

  • target_lift_position
  • target_tilt_position

(@jeverley - #142534) (zha docs)

Breaking

ZhongHong

ZhongHong's climate entities set_fan_mode action behavior has changed.

The fan mode values are now converted to lowercase instead of uppercase to ensure compliance with the standard convention.

If you have automations relying on uppercase fan mode values, you will need to update them to use lowercase values instead.
