Dwelling Assistant 2026.11! 🎉

That is the largest launch we’ve ever shipped, by far. It’s ridiculously giant. 🤯 An enormous shout-out to everybody who helped make it occur, thanks! ❤️

For years, HACS, the Dwelling Assistant Neighborhood Retailer, has been the place to seek out customized integrations, dashboard playing cards, and themes made by the neighborhood. Beginning with this launch, it’s constructed proper into Dwelling Assistant as the brand new Marketplace. I’ve been engaged on bringing it over myself, and my objective was easy: if you happen to use HACS at this time, it ought to really feel like solely the title modified. The whole lot you put in stays put in and retains getting updates. And if you happen to by no means tried HACS as a result of putting in it felt like a hurdle, that hurdle is gone: it’s merely there, underneath Settings, on each set up kind. 🛍️

None of this could exist with out @ludeeus, who began HACS and donated it to the Open Dwelling Basis, and all of the maintainers and builders who constructed that ecosystem through the years. 🙏 And that is simply the primary model of what a market for Dwelling Assistant might turn out to be.

You realize by now I’m an automation individual, so I’m additionally very completely satisfied you’ll be able to lastly exclude items from a target. Activate all of the lights downstairs, besides the one within the kitchen? Finished. And it stays sensible: add one other mild to the kitchen subsequent month, and it’s overlooked too. 🧠

Then there’s naming. Greater than 4 years within the making, entity naming acquired an entire rethink: you title a factor as soon as, and Dwelling Assistant provides the context the place it helps. Honest warning: this can be a backward-incompatible change, and a few names in your dashboards will look totally different after updating. The complete story is in its own blog post.

There’s extra: Matter cameras you can talk back through, LoRaWAN support, sections that fill themselves, backups on local drives, a bunch of recent methods to seek out out why something happened, and 38 new integrations! 🚀

Two extra issues earlier than you dive in. November is the Month of “What the Heck?!” once more, and this 12 months it’s about everybody who lives in your house, together with the individuals who didn’t set it up. Does your companion, child, or housemate get aggravated by one thing in Dwelling Assistant? Have them share it on the forum! You possibly can learn all about it in the announcement. 🗣️

And this Saturday, November 7, is Neighborhood Day! There are 97 meetups around the world, in additional than 30 international locations, so there’s a great likelihood there’s one close to you. That is your final likelihood to enroll. I’ll be on the meetup in Enschede myself, and I hope to see a few of you there. 👋

Benefit from the launch!

Welcome to the Market

For years, the neighborhood has constructed customized integrationsA customized integration is an integration that has been created by somebody from the Dwelling Assistant neighborhood and has been printed for others to make use of at their very own threat. Customized integrations should not supported by the Dwelling Assistant mission. They don’t seem to be reviewed or examined by the Dwelling Assistant growth workforce and thus might negatively influence the steadiness of your Dwelling Assistant occasion. An instance of a customized integration is the Spook integration., dashboard playing cards, themes, and templates for Dwelling Assistant. Individuals discovered them by means of HACS, the Dwelling Assistant Neighborhood Retailer. With this launch, HACS turns into a part of Dwelling Assistant as the brand new Marketplace.

The Market brings the prevailing HACS expertise into Dwelling Assistant and the common launch course of. It really works with each set up kind, together with Dwelling Assistant ContainerDwelling Assistant Container is a standalone container-based set up of Dwelling Assistant Core. Any OCI appropriate runtime can be utilized, however the documentation focus is on Docker. [Learn more], with out manually downloading or unpacking recordsdata. The whole lot within the Market is free, and that won’t change.

Browse and set up

You will discover the Market underneath Settings > Market. It comes with Dwelling Assistant, so there may be nothing to arrange. As an administrator, you’ll be able to browse the catalog and set up integrations, dashboard playing cards, themes, and templates. You do not want a GitHub account to put in or replace tasks.

Putting in a brand new integrationIntegrations join and combine Dwelling Assistant together with your units, companies, and extra. [Learn more] acquired shorter, too. In HACS, you downloaded it, restarted Dwelling Assistant, went to Gadgets & companies, and looked for it once more to set it up. Within the Market, you choose Set up, and also you land straight in its setup circulation, with no restart. Updates nonetheless want a restart for now.

The web page of every mission now exhibits greater than its README: how typically it was downloaded, its stars on GitHub, and the Dwelling Assistant model it requires, so what you’re moving into prior to installing.

Each mission you put in will get an “replace entity”An replace entity is an entity that signifies if an replace is out there for a tool or service. [Learn more], so updates present up underneath Settings > Updates, subsequent to the updates of Dwelling Assistant itself. After an replace, a restore tells you when a restart is required, and may restart Dwelling Assistant for you.

The primary time you open the Market, it exhibits a discover. The whole lot within the Market is made by the neighborhood. It isn’t examined, audited, or supported by the Dwelling Assistant mission, and it runs inside your Dwelling Assistant. Learn the discover, choose I perceive the dangers and agree, and also you’re in. Looking works earlier than that. Putting in and updating doesn’t.

The Market provides a number of enhancements:

• Group the Browse and Put in lists by standing, kind, or supply. Dwelling Assistant remembers your grouping.
• Filter by supply to differentiate the neighborhood catalog from customized repositories.
• Choose a number of repositories on the Put in tab and uninstall them without delay.
• Skipped updates not maintain a repository on the prime of the listing or depend within the replace badge. A brand new launch makes the replace obtainable once more.
• Search, filters, and sorting are saved within the URL, so you’ll be able to share a hyperlink to a particular Market view.
• Integrations present their model photos prior to installing them.

Customized repositories

Not each mission is within the catalog. So as to add one that’s lacking, choose Add from hyperlink and enter its repository URL. The Market then lists it together with your different repositories.

The Customized repositories web page lists repositories you added this fashion and allows you to open or take away them. A repository stays within the listing till you uninstall it.

Customized repositories require a GitHub connection. The Market makes use of GitHub system sign-in, so that you approve the connection on GitHub with out coming into your password in Dwelling Assistant. The connection solely reads public data and can’t entry non-public repositories.

Thanks, HACS

HACS made this attainable. @ludeeus based it and donated it to the Open Dwelling Basis a few 12 months and a half in the past, which is what made bringing it into Dwelling Assistant attainable. Along with the HACS maintainers and the numerous builders publishing their tasks, he constructed the ecosystem that the Market now carries ahead. Thanks. ❤️

In the event you use HACS at this time, there may be nothing you might want to do. Dwelling Assistant migrates it when it begins after the replace. The whole lot you put in stays put in and retains receiving updates, your customized repositories and replace entities carry over, and hyperlinks and bookmarks that time to HACS now open the Market.

The HACS installer stops at Dwelling Assistant 2026.11, so a separate HACS set up is not attainable on this model. The previous HACS gained’t get new releases both: the Market ships with each Dwelling Assistant replace. The whole lot you might want to know concerning the transfer, for customers and for publishers, is within the Marketplace documentation.

It is a place to begin, and the primary model of what a market for Dwelling Assistant might turn out to be. Acquired concepts? Share them within the Market part of the feature request discussions on GitHub. Discovered a bug? Report it within the Dwelling Assistant problem tracker, not within the HACS repository.

[Learn more], situationCircumstances examine whether or not one thing is true at that second, for instance, whether or not a door is closed. You should utilize them in automations and scripts. If a situation just isn’t met, the actions that come after it in the identical sequence don’t run. On the prime stage of an automation or script, this stops the automation or script. [Learn more], or motionAn motion makes Dwelling Assistant do one thing, for instance, activate a lightweight, ship a notification, or activate a scene. Automations and scripts run a listing of actions. [Learn more], choose Exclude goal subsequent to Add goal, then select what to depart out. You can even open a goal’s particulars, clear the checkboxes of the gadgets to exclude, and choose Apply.

Every exclusion is listed beneath the targets it takes entities out of, with the variety of entities it removes. An exclusion that doesn’t match something has no impact, and is listed underneath Exclusions with no impact, the place you’ll be able to take away it.

And exclusions keep as sensible because the targets they belong to. Dwelling Assistant works them out each time the set off, situation, or motion runs. Exclude the kitchen, add one other mild to the kitchen subsequent month, and that mild is overlooked as nicely. No want to the touch the automation once more.

This works in triggers, circumstances, and actions, in each automations and scripts. In the event you write YAMLYAML is a human-readable information serialization language. It’s used to retailer and transmit information in a structured format. In Dwelling Assistant, YAML is used for configuration, for instance within the configuration.yaml or automations.yaml recordsdata. [Learn more], add an exclude block to the goal, with the identical keys because the goal itself.

Copy and paste dashboard sections

In dashboard edit mode, you’ll be able to copy or minimize a bit, then paste it after one other part. You possibly can transfer sections between views and dashboards with out dragging them throughout the display. Thanks, @jce200!

Copy, minimize, and paste sections from the part menu.

Sections that fill themselves

A dashboard part is often a listing of playing cards you place collectively by hand. Add a brand new mild to the lounge, and you need to keep in mind so as to add its card too. Computerized sections deal with that for you: they choose their playing cards themselves, and keep updated whenever you add or take away unitsA tool is a mannequin representing a bodily or logical unit that comprises entities. and entitiesAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or operate in Dwelling Assistant. Entities are used to watch bodily properties or to manage different entities. An entity is often a part of a tool or a service. [Learn more].

Once you create a bit, Dwelling Assistant now asks what you need: a guide part you fill card by card, an computerized part, or the part you simply copied. Decide Computerized part, and also you get the listing of computerized sections, every with a dwell preview, so that you see what you get earlier than including it.

Decide an computerized part, and see what it seems like earlier than including it.

Widespread controls exhibits the entities you utilize essentially the most, similar to on the Overview dashboard. Subsequent to it, two computerized sections are new on this launch. The Gadget part exhibits the entities of 1 systemA tool is a mannequin representing a bodily or logical unit that comprises entities., as tiles or in a single entities card, grouped by class, with the system title, its spaceAn space in Dwelling Assistant is a logical grouping of units and entities that represents a room or house in your house, similar to the lounge, kitchen, or storage. [Learn more], and its battery stage within the heading. The Entities part exhibits each entityAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or operate in Dwelling Assistant.

In the event you put in sections made by the neighborhood, they’re listed too, underneath Neighborhood sections.

Decide the kinds of entities and the targets, and the part exhibits each match.

You can even begin from the system. On its system web page, choose Add to… > Add to a dashboard, and choose a dashboard and a view. In a sections view, you get a Gadget part for that system. In different views, you get an Entities card, and also you select which classes of entities to incorporate. This replaces the Add to dashboard buttons on the backside of every listing of entities on the system web page.

Add a tool to a dashboard, straight from its system web page.

If you would like extra management over an computerized part, choose Convert to guide part within the part menu. The part retains its playing cards, and you may edit, transfer, or take away every of them. In return, it not updates by itself, so Dwelling Assistant asks you to substantiate first.

Convert an computerized part to edit its playing cards one after the other.

Thanks, @piitaya!

New playing cards and badges

The brand new Date card exhibits the present date. The Alert badge exhibits an entityAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or operate in Dwelling Assistant. Entities are used to watch bodily properties or to manage different entities. An entity is often a part of a tool or a service. [Learn more]’s state on a coloured background that may pulse. The Sensor card takes a colour, which tints each its icon and its graph. For goal temperature controls, you’ll be able to select buttons or a slider. When including a card or badge, a paste bar allows you to add a copied merchandise.

Present the present date within the format you want.

Select buttons or a slider for goal temperature controls.

Due to @Lackmake, @pcan08, @timmo001, @piitaya, and @wendevlin.

Alert card, now with out YAML

The Alert card now has a visible editor. You possibly can set separate colours for alert and clear states with out modifying YAMLYAML is a human-readable information serialization language. It’s used to retailer and transmit information in a structured format. In Dwelling Assistant, YAML is used for configuration, for instance within the configuration.yaml or automations.yaml recordsdata. [Learn more]. Thanks, @timmo001!

Set separate colours for alert and clear states within the visible editor.

Colour management on mild tiles

Gentle tiles now have a colour strip for setting hue, with an optionally available saturation slider. The colour controls fade when the mildA light-weight has a brightness you’ll be able to management, and optionally colour temperature or RGB colour management. [Learn more] is off, and members of a lightweight groupTeams are a technique to set up your entities right into a single unit. [Learn more] present the colour management of their more-info dialog. Thanks, @piitaya!

Regulate hue and saturation from a lightweight tile.

Identify it as soon as, Dwelling Assistant provides the context

Identify a factor as soon as, and Dwelling Assistant makes certain it is smart in all places. That’s the thought behind how entitiesAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or operate in Dwelling Assistant. Entities are used to watch bodily properties or to manage different entities. An entity is often a part of a tool or a service. [Learn more] are named from this launch on, and it has been greater than 4 years within the making. You give an entity its personal title, like “Temperature”. Dwelling Assistant is aware of which systemA tool is a mannequin representing a bodily or logical unit that comprises entities. it belongs to, and through which spaceAn space in Dwelling Assistant is a logical grouping of units and entities that represents a room or house in your house, similar to the lounge, kitchen, or storage. [Learn more] that system lives, so it may possibly add that context the place it helps. By default, that’s the title of the system: the “Temperature” of a “Thermostat” within the “Bed room” exhibits up as “Thermostat Temperature”. The place you need extra, a card can add the realm too, like “Bed room Thermostat Temperature”.

Naming has been a subject in the neighborhood for years, with threads like “How do you title your units?” and “Naming methods for entities?”, all on the lookout for a system that retains a rising residence readable.

It’s time to let these programs go. You shouldn’t want a method to make sense of the data in Dwelling Assistant. Dwelling Assistant ought to provide the context you want, in the meanwhile you want it. Now you rename the system, and each entity on it follows. Entities you renamed, and entities you by no means touched, get their context the identical manner.

You see this in dashboards, settings, the exercise and logbook, the voice assistant settings, and the apps. The identical title, in the identical construction, in all places you look.

A couple of issues to know:

• Renaming an entity solely renames the entity. If you wish to change the title of the system, rename the system. If an entity represents the primary operate of its system, activate Most important entity of the system in its settings, and it goes by the title and the realm of the system.
• Gadgets with a number of components, like an influence strip, now get a systemA tool is a mannequin representing a bodily or logical unit that comprises entities. per half, every with its personal title and spaceAn space in Dwelling Assistant is a logical grouping of units and entities that represents a room or house in your house, similar to the lounge, kitchen, or storage. [Learn more]. These are known as baby units. A toddler system inherits the realm of its mum or dad, till you give it considered one of its personal. Integrations are transferring to them one after the other, beginning with the multi-channel switches in Tuya.
• Your individual names are stored. Dwelling Assistant migrates names you set. If an entity’s displayed title modifications, the previous title stays an alias for voice assistants. For instance, “activate the ceiling mild” continues to work.
• Templates: The friendly_name attribute is deliberate for deprecation. Use entity_name(), device_name(), and area_name() to construct the title you want.

What doesn’t change: entity IDs. Your automationsAutomations in Dwelling Assistant permit you to robotically reply to issues that occur in and round your own home. [Learn more], scriptsA script is a saved listing of steps that runs whenever you begin it, for instance, from a dashboard, with Help, or from an automation. In contrast to an automation, a script has no triggers, so it doesn’t begin by itself. [Learn more], and dashboards maintain working.

We’re upfront about one factor: this can be a backward-incompatible change. Some names look totally different after the replace, and also you discover that almost all in your dashboards. Playing cards, badges, and rows with no title now present the system title adopted by the entity title, as an alternative of the pleasant title. Making them shorter is fast: rename the system or the entity, activate Most important entity of the system for the entity that represents the system, or set a reputation on the cardboard. The small print are within the backward-incompatible changes beneath.

That is the quick model. A separate blog post about entity naming tells the complete story.

This mission ran for greater than 4 years, and many individuals labored on it alongside the way in which. Thanks to everybody who helped make this occur! 🙏

Kinds that ask solely what they want

Establishing an integrationIntegrations join and combine Dwelling Assistant together with your units, companies, and extra. [Learn more] generally meant studying previous choices that had nothing to do together with your decisions. A discipline can now seem solely when one other discipline has a sure worth, so a type asks what’s related and leaves out the remaining. Whereas a discipline is hidden, it isn’t required, and its worth isn’t saved.

You possibly can already see it within the integrations for AI dialog brokers, the place the settings you not often contact keep out of the way in which till you ask for them.

The identical works for a blueprintA blueprint is a script, automation, or template entity configuration with sure components marked as configurable. This lets you create a number of scripts, automations, or template entities primarily based on the identical blueprint, with every having its personal configuration-specific settings. Blueprints are shared by the neighborhood on the blueprints exchange within the discussion board. [Learn more]. An enter, or a complete group of inputs, can depend upon the solutions you gave earlier, so a blueprint solely asks what nonetheless applies.

Thanks, @piitaya!

From energy to vitality in a single step

The Vitality dashboard works with vitality in kilowatt-hours, however loads of unitsA tool is a mannequin representing a bodily or logical unit that comprises entities. solely report energy in watts. A tool like that would not be added instantly: first you needed to arrange a sensorSensors return details about a factor, as an example the extent of water in a tank. [Learn more] that provides the ability up over time, then come again and add the system.

Dwelling Assistant now presents to try this for you. Add a person system, a photo voltaic panel, or your own home consumption with solely an influence sensor, and whenever you save, Dwelling Assistant presents to derive the vitality sensor from it, or to reuse one you derived from the identical sensor earlier. Fuel and water work the identical manner: choose a sensor that reviews a circulation fee, and Dwelling Assistant presents to derive the whole from it.

Thanks, @MindFreeze!

Why did that occur?

A light-weight turned on, and no person touched it. Or an automationAutomations in Dwelling Assistant permit you to robotically reply to issues that occur in and round your own home. [Learn more] did one thing you didn’t count on. Discovering out why is a part of residing with a wise residence, so this launch provides a handful of how to seek out the reply sooner.

See what triggered it

The Exercise panel has a brand new Triggered by filter. Use it to indicate solely what an individual did, what your automationsAutomations in Dwelling Assistant permit you to robotically reply to issues that occur in and round your own home. [Learn more] or scriptsA script is a saved listing of steps that runs whenever you begin it, for instance, from a dashboard, with Help, or from an automation. In contrast to an automation, a script has no triggers, so it doesn’t begin by itself. [Learn more] did, or what an integrationIntegrations join and combine Dwelling Assistant together with your units, companies, and extra. [Learn more] did, like HomeKit or Google Assistant. Accounts that don’t belong to an individual, just like the one utilized by Node-RED, depend as integrations. Entries with no identified trigger are listed underneath Different.

Thanks, @piitaya!

Comply with a hint into the script it known as

When an automationAutomations in Dwelling Assistant permit you to robotically reply to issues that occur in and round your own home. [Learn more] or scriptA script is a saved listing of steps that runs whenever you begin it, for instance, from a dashboard, with Help, or from an automation. In contrast to an automation, a script has no triggers, so it doesn’t begin by itself. [Learn more] runs one other script, or triggers an automation, the step in its hint now has a View hint of hyperlink to precisely that run. Earlier than, you needed to discover the correct run your self, by timestamp. It really works from automation to script, script to script, and automation to automation, for every iteration of a repeat, and for a script that begins itself. The hyperlink exhibits up within the step particulars and within the hint timeline. The web page additionally retains the run you’re looking at in its deal with, so going again in your browser takes you again to the earlier run.

Thanks, @Xyolyp!

Dwell logs for every integration

Whereas debug logging is enabled for an integrationIntegrations join and combine Dwelling Assistant together with your units, companies, and extra. [Learn more], the banner on its web page now has a Present logs button, subsequent to Disable. It opens a dialog with solely the log strains of that integration, together with the libraries it makes use of: first what it logged since Dwelling Assistant began, then new strains as they arrive in. You possibly can search, flip line wrapping on or off, and obtain what you captured. Useful when you’re attempting to breed a difficulty, with out digging by means of the complete log.

The logs web page underneath Settings > System > Logs acquired a filter as nicely. Choose a number of integrations, and the errors listing and the uncooked logs solely present their strains. Your search, your filter, and the uncooked view are stored within the deal with, so you’ll be able to bookmark a filtered view or share a hyperlink to it. Looking out the uncooked logs now exhibits every match with three strains round it, the way in which a diff does, and a button reveals the strains in between. When an appApps are further standalone third-party software program packages that may be put in on Dwelling Assistant OS. [Learn more] replace fails, opening its logs takes you straight to the strains of that app.

Thanks, @erwindouna and @timmo001!

Take away dangerous readings out of your historical past

One dangerous measurement can destroy the graph of a sensorSensors return details about a factor, as an example the extent of water in a tank. [Learn more]. “Statistics”Dwelling Assistant retains statistics for sensors which have a state class, similar to measurement, whole, or whole growing. Each 5 minutes, it saves short-term statistics, that are deleted after 10 days by default. Each hour, it saves long-term statistics, that are by no means deleted robotically. The Vitality dashboard and statistics playing cards use them. [Learn more] of values like temperature can’t be adjusted, so the one repair was to delete the entire statistic and lose its historical past. Now you’ll be able to delete only a time vary. In Settings > Instruments > Statistics, choose the delete possibility of a statistic, choose the time vary, and the dialog previews the info earlier than you delete something. The whole lot outdoors that vary stays.

Thanks, @balloob!

Zoom in on a chart

Charts that plot values over time now zoom with a plain drag: drag throughout the half you wish to see, and the chart follows. A slim slider seems beneath to maneuver or resize the vary, and scrolling sideways pans alongside. On the historical past web page, one zoom bar drives each chart without delay, so you’ll be able to line up what occurred throughout a number of entitiesAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or operate in Dwelling Assistant. Entities are used to watch bodily properties or to manage different entities. An entity is often a part of a tool or a service. [Learn more].

Thanks, @MindFreeze!

Each motion, on the file

Settings > Instruments has a brand new Motion historical past tab. It lists the actionsAn motion makes Dwelling Assistant do one thing, for instance, activate a lightweight, ship a notification, or activate a scene. Automations and scripts run a listing of actions. [Learn more] that had been known as in Dwelling Assistant, with the motion, its targets, what triggered it, and when. You possibly can search the listing and choose a time vary. Choose an motion to see its particulars: the trigger, the consumer, the context ID, and the info it was known as with. Copy that information as YAMLYAML is a human-readable information serialization language. It’s used to retailer and transmit information in a structured format. In Dwelling Assistant, YAML is used for configuration, for instance within the configuration.yaml or automations.yaml recordsdata.
