Home Assistant Core 2026.3.0 → 2026.4.0

JVC Projector

The Picture Mode and HDR Processing entities have been migrated from the sensor domain to the select domain, because they represent selectable settings rather than read-only values.

New entities:

• select.jvc_projector_picture_mode
• select.jvc_projector_hdr_processing

The legacy sensor entities are now deprecated. If a deprecated sensor is disabled and not referenced by automations or scripts, Home Assistant will remove it from the entity registry. If usage is detected, Home Assistant keeps it and shows a repair issue to help you migrate. Update your automations, scripts, dashboards, and templates to use the new select entities.

Litter-Robot

The deprecated night light mode switch entity for Litter-Robot 4 devices has been removed. This switch was replaced by a select entity in Home Assistant 2025.10. If you still use the old switch entity in your automations or scripts, update them to use the select entity instead.

Motion Blinds

On devices that support tilt but do not report a tilt position, the tilt open and tilt close operations now send jog up and jog down commands instead of setting the tilt angle to 0° or 180°. Setting an absolute tilt position usually didn't work on these devices anyway, and jog commands provide a meaningful small step in the intended direction.

If you have automations that rely on the previous tilt behavior for these devices, you may need to adjust them.

MQTT

Support for the object_id option has been removed after 6 months of deprecation. This option was used to suggest the entity ID for an MQTT entity and has been replaced by the default_entity_id configuration option.

If you used object_id in your MQTT YAML configuration, you were previously asked via a repair flow to update your configuration. If object_id is still part of a discovery message, the option will simply be ignored and will not break discovery.

pyLoad

pyLoad 0.4.x is now deprecated, and you should switch to pyLoad-ng 0.5.0. pyLoad-ng introduced a new API, and support for the old API has been dropped.

Roth Touchline

The preset mode names for the Roth Touchline climate entities have been updated to use standard Home Assistant preset names, making them translatable. If you have automations or scripts that reference the old preset mode names, update them to use the new names:

• Normal → none
• Night → sleep
• Holiday → away
• Pro 1 → program_1
• Pro 2 → program_2
• Pro 3 → program_3

Tuya

Previously deprecated switch entities used to control valves have been removed. Use the valve entities instead. If you have automations or scripts that reference these switch entities, update them to use the corresponding valve entities.

Z-Wave

The Z-Wave Installer panel has been removed. This panel was hidden and required an undocumented YAML configuration to enable. The same functionality is now natively available through Z-Wave JS UI in the Z-Wave app.
