Home Assistant Core 2026.1.0 → 2026.2.0

Group

The behavior of sensor groups has changed:

• A sensor group is now unavailable if all group members are either unavailable or missing (meaning they are not in the state machine).
• When the group is not considered unavailable and the configuration variable ignore_non_numeric is set to False (the default), the group state is calculated according to the configured type only if all group members are in the state machine and have a numeric state. If not, the group state will be unknown.

Sentry

Self-hosted Sentry users only: This upgrade requires Sentry server version 20.6.0 or later (released June 2020) due to the SDK's use of the /envelope API endpoint. Users running older self-hosted Sentry instances must upgrade their server before updating Home Assistant.

Home Assistant users using sentry.io are not affected.

Tractive

The following sensors have been removed because they are no longer supported by the Tractive API:

• activity
• calories burned
• sleep

If you use these entities in your automations or scripts, you must update them.

Tuya

Duplicate HVACMode have been converted to presets. You may need to adjust service calls from set_hvac_mode to set_preset_mode in your automations or scripts.

VeSync

The advanced_sleep preset mode is now replaced by sleep. If you have been using advanced_sleep, in your automations or scripts, you must update them to use sleep instead.
