Home Assistant Core 2026.7.0 → 2026.8.0

AirNow

The station radius option has been removed. The 2026 AirNow API no longer uses a distance parameter, so the radius had no effect on which reporting station was used. Existing entries are updated automatically, and any radius you had set is discarded. No action is needed.

Gardena Bluetooth

The valve's activation_reason sensor now reports a fixed set of values instead of free-form text. If you have automations, scripts, or templates that match on the old text values, update them to match the new ones.

Edifier Infrared

If you set up the Edifier Infrared integration for the R2000DB or R2730DB speakers, some buttons were mapped to the wrong infrared codes (on the R2730DB, power and mute were swapped). The mappings are now corrected and migrated automatically. If you built automations or scripts around the old, incorrect buttons, update them to match.

Ohme

The Ohme energy sensor has been removed. It reported an estimate of the energy stored in the car's battery rather than the energy delivered by the charger, which caused confusing jumps in the energy dashboard, and the vendor's API no longer provides a useful value.

If you tracked this sensor, use an Integration - Riemann sum helper on a power sensor to estimate the energy instead.

Paperless-ngx

Paperless-ngx now requires a newer version of your Paperless-ngx server. The minimum supported server version is raised to 2.19, which also restores compatibility with Paperless-ngx 3.0. If your Paperless-ngx server is on version 2.18 or older, update it before you update Home Assistant.

Robot vacuums

The deprecated battery_level property has been removed from the vacuum entities of several integrations. If you use a robot vacuum's battery level in an automation, script, or on a dashboard, use the vacuum's battery sensor instead.

This affects the following integrations:

• LG ThinQ
• Neato
• Romy
• Shark IQ
• SwitchBot Cloud
• Template
• TP-Link
• Xiaomi Miio

ScreenLogic

The option to configure the polling interval has been removed from ScreenLogic. Home Assistant now polls the integration at a fixed interval. If you need a different update frequency, you can set your own polling interval or trigger an update with the homeassistant.update_entity action.

UniFi Protect

Support for UniFi Protect AI Port devices has been removed. These devices only ever exposed diagnostic sensors, all disabled by default, and are not part of the UniFi Protect public API the integration is moving to. The AI Port device and its sensors are removed automatically when you update. You can still configure the AI Port directly in UniFi Protect.

Detection scores are no longer available. The detection binary sensors (motion, person, vehicle, animal, and the smart-audio alarm sensors) now take their state from the UniFi Protect public API, which carries no per-event score, so their event_score attribute is gone and automations that filter on it need another condition. The event id and the detected types moved to the new Motion detection, Smart detection, and Sound detection event entities.

(@RaHehl - #174948) (UniFi Protect documentation)

UniFi Protect 7.1 or newer is now required. On an older console the integration reports that the version is too old instead of setting up. Update UniFi Protect to 7.1 or newer to keep using it.

Volvo On Call

The Volvo On Call integration has been removed. If you have a supported Volvo, set up the newer Volvo integration instead.
