2026.6: Choose a card, any card

Dwelling Assistant 2026.6! 🎉

I’m going to place my hand up instantly: ✋ I’m not a dashboard particular person. Not as a result of I don’t like them; I really like seeing what you all construct. However designing a stupendous one is a sort of visible creativity I simply don’t have. That’s a giant a part of why I really like the built-in Dwelling dashboard a lot, it does the designing for me. However after I do construct a customized dashboard, I often stare at that “add a card” dialog for method too lengthy, choosing playing cards virtually at random simply to see if they appear good with the information I’ve.

So you possibly can think about my pleasure for my private favourite of this launch: the new card picker. As an alternative of asking “which card kind do I need?”, it now asks “which factor in your house do you wish to present?”, after which suggests playing cards that truly make sense for it, with stay previews utilizing your individual knowledge. For somebody like me, that’s not simply
simpler; it’s genuinely inspiring. It nudges me in direction of mixtures I might not have considered alone. 💡

This matches into an even bigger course I hold getting extra enthusiastic about: Dwelling Assistant getting higher at ranging from the factor you wish to do, as an alternative of asking you to first be taught the constructing blocks. The identical concept is what makes purpose-specific triggers and situations in Dwelling Assistant Labs really feel so proper, and this launch brings them a giant step nearer to graduating out of Labs with model new zone triggers and situations. 📍

A detailed second favourite for me this launch is all the things taking place round that within the automation editor: stay take a look at indicators in your situations, goal counts on each gadget, space, ground, and label, and correct notes you possibly can connect to any step. Individually they’re small quality-of-life touches; collectively, they make constructing automations really feel an entire lot extra clear. ✨

And there may be a lot extra to like on this launch: new tile card options, Z-Wave sensible locks catching up with their Matter siblings, a friendlier Apps web page, and one other large batch of recent integrations from our group. 🚀

Benefit from the launch!

../Frenck

An enormous thanks to all of the contributors who made this launch potential! And a particular shout-out to @piitaya who helped write the discharge notes this launch. Additionally, @karwosts, @lexpostma, and @Petro31 for placing effort into tweaking its contents. Because of them, these launch notes are in nice form. ❤️

A friendlier method so as to add playing cards to your dashboard

Including a card to a dashboard is a type of moments the place Dwelling Assistant has traditionally requested a number of you. The outdated dialog opened on a wall of card sorts, all named after the constructing blocks we use underneath the hood: tile, entities, button, gauge, look, image, markdown, and so forth. Beautiful when you already know what each does. Quite a bit much less beautiful when you got here in pondering “I simply need my front room gentle on this dashboard.” 💡

Person analysis stored telling us the identical factor: folks open the editor with a gadgetA tool is a mannequin representing a bodily or logical unit that incorporates entities. or an entityAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or perform in Dwelling Assistant. Entities are used to observe bodily properties or to regulate different entities. An entity is often a part of a tool or a service. [Learn more] in thoughts, not a card kind. So we flipped the dialog round.

Once you add a card now, the dialog opens on a brand new By entity tab. On the left, your own home: a tree of flooringA ground in Dwelling Assistant is a logical grouping of areas that should match the bodily flooring in your house. Units & entities usually are not assigned to flooring however to areas. Flooring can be utilized in automations and scripts as a goal for actions. For instance, to show off all of the lights on the downstairs ground if you go to mattress. [Learn more], areasAn space in Dwelling Assistant is a logical grouping of gadgets and entities that should match areas (or rooms) within the bodily world: your own home. For instance, the front room space teams gadgets and entities in your front room. [Learn more], gadgets, and entities, the identical form a few of you might acknowledge from the brand new purpose-specific triggers and situations at present in Settings > System > Labs. Something that doesn’t match cleanly into your areas reveals up underneath Unassigned, so nothing will get misplaced. Search jumps straight to a flat outcome record.

Choose an entity, and the appropriate aspect fills with stay previews of playing cards that truly match it, not a generic record:

For a gentle, you get a plain tile, a tile with a brightness slider, a toggle tile, shade temperature, and favourite colours.
For a cowl, open/shut, a place slider, and tilt.
For a media participant, a tile with playback controls or with the quantity slider.
For a numeric sensor like temperature, humidity, or energy, a pattern graph tile so you possibly can see historical past at a look.
For a calendar or to-do record, the matching devoted card.
And a Browse all playing cards choice in case none of these is what you needed; the acquainted By card tab remains to be there too, unchanged.

Each suggestion renders as an actual preview of how the cardboard will look in your dashboard, together with your knowledge, earlier than you choose it. No extra “add it, see the way it appears, delete it, strive the following one.”

Customized playing cards can be part of the occasion too. If a customized card you’ve got put in has opted in to the brand new picker, its ideas present up underneath a separate Group part, proper under the built-in ones. Help relies on the customized card’s writer including it.

On cell, the identical dialog turns right into a two-step circulation: choose your entity, then choose your card.

That is the primary seen step of a broader effort on the Open Dwelling Basis roadmap to make constructing a dashboard really feel as pure as constructing an automation: begin from what you wish to management, and let Dwelling Assistant counsel the remaining. Anticipate extra on this course within the releases to return.

Tip

Keep a customized card? You may decide in to the brand new picker by including a getEntitySuggestion perform to your window.customCards entry. The developer weblog put up Customized card ideas within the card picker walks via the small print.

Infrared now additionally listens

Two releases in the past, infrared turned a first-class citizen of Dwelling Assistant, however as a one-way avenue: Dwelling Assistant may ship instructions to your TV or air conditioner, but it surely had no technique to hear what the gadget, or its authentic distant, was doing. Essentially the most asked-for follow-up was easy: “can Dwelling Assistant additionally pay attention?” 📡

On this launch, it does.

The Infrared platform positive factors a brand new receiver occasion entityOccasions are indicators which are emitted when one thing occurs, for instance, when a person presses a bodily button like a doorbell or when a button on a distant management is pressed. [Learn more]. Any transmitter integration that helps it may well expose the IR instructions it picks up as occasions in Dwelling Assistant, able to drive automations identical to another occasion set off. ESPHome is the primary transmitter integration on board, so any ESPHome gadget with an IR receiver wired up can now act as an IR listener in your entire home. On the gadget aspect, LG Infrared is the primary gadget integration to make use of it, exposing the instructions its receiver sees as occasions you possibly can react to.

This implies you possibly can hold Dwelling Assistant in sync with the unique distant: use the distant that got here with the gadget, and Dwelling Assistant sees it occur as an alternative of being left at nighttime with stale state. It additionally opens the door for future integrations to do extra with what they hear, like turning a spare IR distant right into a Dwelling Assistant controller.

That is the second half of the infrared story we began two releases in the past, making infrared a real two-way platform in Dwelling Assistant. It additionally closes out the Open Dwelling Basis roadmap alternative that got down to make infrared a two-way platform in Dwelling Assistant.

Sprucing the automation editor

Ever since Dwelling Assistant 2025.12 launched purpose-specific triggers and situations, each launch has nudged the automation editor slightly nearer to the way you really take into consideration your own home. The work in Labs is ongoing, and suggestions retains pouring in. Whereas we hold iterating there, the remainder of the automation editor has been getting some love too. ✨

Goal-specific triggers and situations

The Labs preview retains rising, each in capabilities and polish. This launch picks up the place final month left off: the cross-domain successors to the outdated Individual and Machine Tracker dwelling triggers and situations have landed, this time constructed round zones. 📍

4 new zone triggers and 4 new zone situations cowl the identical floor the eliminated entered_home, left_home, is_home, and is_not_home constructing blocks did, however in a extra versatile method:

Triggers to react when an individual or gadget trackerMachine trackers are used to trace the presence, or location, of a tool. [Learn more] enters or leaves a zoneZones let you specify sure areas on a map. They allow zone presence-detection and can be utilized in automations. For instance, to start out the vacuum after you left dwelling or begin the heating at dwelling if you go away the workplace. [Learn more], and when a zone turns into occupied or empty.
Situations to examine whether or not an individual or gadget tracker is in or not in a zone, or whether or not a zone is at present occupied or not.

You’re now not restricted to your own home zone: any zone you’ve outlined works, so reacting to somebody arriving at work, college, or the gymnasium is simply as simple. Each triggers and situations help the for length discipline added final launch, so you possibly can wait till somebody has really settled in (or out) earlier than doing something.

We’ve additionally been busy giving the present triggers and situations the documentation they deserve. About half of the purpose-specific triggers and situations now have their very own devoted reference web page over at triggers and situations, with examples, choices, and the small particulars that make an actual distinction when you’re wiring issues up. The remainder are on their method.

Haven’t tried them but? Now is a good time. Allow the function at Settings > System > Labs, give it a spin, and tell us what you suppose. The extra suggestions we acquire, the earlier we are able to graduate this out of Labs.

See precisely what number of issues an automation targets

Once you construct an automationAutomations in Dwelling Assistant let you routinely reply to issues that occur in and round your own home. [Learn more] that acts on a groundA ground in Dwelling Assistant is a logical grouping of areas that should match the bodily flooring in your house. Units & entities usually are not assigned to flooring however to areas. Flooring can be utilized in automations and scripts as a goal for actions. For instance, to show off all of the lights on the downstairs ground if you go to mattress. [Learn more], an spaceAn space in Dwelling Assistant is a logical grouping of gadgets and entities that should match areas (or rooms) within the bodily world: your own home. For instance, the front room space teams gadgets and entities in your front room. [Learn more], a labelLabels in Dwelling Assistant permit grouping components regardless of their bodily location or kind. Labels will be assigned to areas, gadgets, entities, automations, scenes, scripts, and helpers. Labels can be utilized in automations and scripts as a goal for actions. Labels can be used to filter knowledge. [Learn more], or a tool, the editor used to simply present the title of that concentrate on. So “Bedrooms” may imply three lights, or thirty, with no technique to inform at a look.

Now each ground, space, gadget, and label tablet in your automation rows reveals the variety of entities it expands to, proper subsequent to its title. In case your goal selector additionally filters by area or gadget class, the depend displays that filter, so what you see is what the motion will really contact. Choose the tablet for a fast peek at precisely which entities are included.

It’s the sort of small element that turns “I hope this solely hits the appropriate lights” into “yep, twelve, that’s appropriate”, particularly useful as your own home grows otherwise you begin utilizing labels throughout rooms.

See at a look which situations go

Situations are the gatekeepers of your automations. They determine whether or not one thing runs or not, and when an automation doesn’t fireplace the best way you anticipated, the primary query is often: “which situation was really blocking it?” Till now, discovering out meant testing every situation one after the other, or ready for the following run and digging via the hint afterwards.

The automation editor now tells you proper there, when you are enhancing. Each situation row reveals a small stay take a look at indicator as a badge on its icon that updates in actual time as your own home modifications:

A inexperienced examine when the situation at present passes
A purple circle when it doesn’t
A impartial state when the situation is incomplete or can’t be evaluated but
A transparent error indicator, with the complete message in a tooltip, when the configuration is invalid

Hover the icon to see precisely what the situation is reporting. Edit the situation, and the badge updates instantly, so you possibly can dial in thresholds, zones, or state matches and see the outcome with out leaving the editor. The identical indicators additionally present up on dashboard visibility situations, so the playing cards you cover or present conditionally inform you an identical story.

That is a part of a broader roadmap effort to convey dwelling context into the automation editor: surfacing the data you’ll want to construct and debug automations proper the place you’re engaged on them.

Add notes to any step in your automation

Aliases are nice for renaming a set off or motion, however they’ve at all times been a single line, they usually double because the label you see within the row. So when you needed to clarify why a step exists (“the porch sensor generally triggers by itself in winter, so this waits a couple of seconds to ensure”), you have been out of luck with out dropping into YAML.

Each set offA set off is a set of values or situations of a platform which are outlined to trigger an automation to run. [Learn more], situationSituations are an non-compulsory a part of an automation that can forestall an motion from firing if they don’t seem to be met. [Learn more], motionActions are utilized in a number of locations in Dwelling Assistant. As a part of a script or automation, actions outline what will occur as soon as a set off is activated. In scripts, an motion is known as sequence. [Learn more], choice, and scriptScripts are parts that let you specify a sequence of actions to be executed by Dwelling Assistant when turned on. [Learn more] discipline now has a devoted Notes discipline, separate from its title. Open the step’s sidebar, jot down no matter future-you must know, and it stays with that step eternally. We intentionally known as it notes and never feedback to maintain it clear from YAML feedback, that are a distinct factor completely.

Notes journey with the automation if you duplicate, export, or share it as 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 based mostly on the identical blueprint, with every having its personal configuration-specific settings. Blueprints are shared by the group on the blueprints trade within the discussion board. [Learn more], so the reasoning behind a setup is now not one thing solely the unique writer remembers.

Tile card options

The tile card retains rising into one of the vital succesful constructing blocks in your dashboards. This launch provides two brand-new card options for climate entities and a beneficiant spherical of additives to the media participant tile.

Your forecast, proper the place you examine the climate

Most of us have already got a climate tile sitting someplace on a dashboard. Up till now, the second you needed to know what tomorrow appears like, you needed to open the extra information dialog, bounce to a distinct card, or construct an entire forecast part only for that. No extra.

Two new tile card options put the forecast instantly onto your current climate tile:

Temperature forecast attracts a bar chart of excessive and low temperatures for the times forward, coloured from cool cyan to deep purple so you possibly can learn the week at a look. Within the hourly view, it renders as a easy stuffed curve.
Precipitation forecast reveals how a lot rain (or snow) is anticipated for every slot, or, when your climate service solely offers it, the prospect of precipitation.

Each options routinely choose the very best forecast decision your climate service affords (each day, twice-daily, or hourly), and you’ll pin a selected decision or toggle the day and hour labels from the cardboard editor. One small change, large distinction: your dashboard now solutions the following query earlier than you ask it.

Turning the media participant tile into an actual distant

Final launch was a giant step for the media participant tile: a correct supply picker, a sound mode picker, and playback buttons you would lastly choose and reorder. A lot of you ran with it and constructed lovely, centered media controls in your dashboards, and a few of you instantly got here again with: “that is nice, however can it additionally…” 🎶

This launch fills in these final gaps. Throughout the media participant tile card options, you now have:

A Mute button on each the Quantity slider and Quantity buttons options, so you possibly can silence the room straight from the tile.
Shuffle, Repeat, Quantity up, Quantity down, and Mute as further controls you possibly can combine into the Playback function, alongside the present transport buttons.
A filter for the Supply and Sound mode dropdowns, so a receiver that stories two dozen inputs solely reveals the three you really use.

The outcome: a single tile that appears like, and acts like, a distant constructed particularly for that gadget. No extra “virtually proper” tiles, no extra falling again to the extra information dialog for that one button you actually need. Your Music Assistant setup goes to really feel proper at dwelling. Thanks, @pcan08 and @MindFreeze!

Z-Wave sensible lock credential administration

Two releases in the past, we added credential administration for MatterMatter is an open-source commonplace that defines learn how to management sensible dwelling gadgets on a Wi-Fi or Thread community. [Learn more] sensible locks: a pleasant dialog so as to add, edit, and take away the customers (and the PIN codes that go together with them) that your lock accepts, with out ever opening the lock’s personal app. This launch, Z-Wave sensible locks get the identical therapy. 🔐

Open your lock from the gadget web page and choose Handle entry from the menu to get an outline of each person the lock has, and the credentials assigned to them. From there, you possibly can add a brand new person, give current ones further credentials, edit them, or take away them.

Every little thing occurs instantly between Dwelling Assistant and your lock over Z-Wave; no cloud account, no vendor app, no web connection required.

There may be one small distinction with the Matter model that performs to Z-Wave’s strengths: each PIN codes and passwords are supported, the place the lock helps them. PIN codes are restricted to digits (the acquainted keypad expertise), whereas passwords settle for the complete character set for locks with an alphanumeric keypad.

Similar to the Matter equal, each motion behind the dialog can also be accessible as a daily Dwelling Assistant motionActions are utilized in a number of locations in Dwelling Assistant. As a part of a script or automation, actions outline what will occur as soon as a set off is activated. In scripts, an motion is known as sequence. [Learn more]. Which means you possibly can hand out a one-time PIN to a visitor from an automation, rotate codes on a schedule, or wipe a misplaced person with a single button press in your dashboard.

A recent search for the Apps web page

Apps (beforehand often called add-ons) are the way you lengthen the system that Dwelling Assistant runs on with further software program, like a media server, an MQTT dealer, a VPN, or a code editor, all operating proper subsequent to Dwelling Assistant on the identical gadget.

This launch offers the Apps web page a friendlier, extra fashionable look. Each put in app is proven as its personal card with its icon, title, a brief description, and a transparent indicator of whether or not it’s operating, so you possibly can spot the state of your apps at a look.

Put in apps can now additionally carry small tags that spotlight what they’re, making it simpler to scan your record and discover what you’re in search of. The app element web page obtained the identical care, with a cleaner structure that additionally works effectively on a pill.

For now, that is principally about bug fixes and stability, together with the brand new built-in mDNS implementation from OpenThread, which ought to assist resolve a category of cussed Thread connectivity points that beforehand traced again to mDNS quirks in some dwelling routers. It additionally lays the groundwork for bringing the brand new Thread 1.4 options to Dwelling Assistant within the close to future.
Sirens be part of the Matter integration. Matter sirens (like Heiman-style smoke detectors that double as a loud alarm) at the moment are uncovered as correct siren entitiesAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or perform in Dwelling Assistant. Entities are used to observe bodily properties or to regulate different entities. An entity is often a part of a tool or a service. [Learn more] you possibly can change on and off from automations and dashboards. Thanks, @lboue! 🚨
Bluetooth proxies at the moment are a lot friendlier to battery-powered gadgets. Till now, each Bluetooth scanner ran in lively mode, continually polling gadgets and waking up your battery-powered Bluetooth sensors and trackers extra usually than they should. Beginning this launch, the default for each the Bluetooth integration and ESPHome Bluetooth proxies is the brand new Auto mode, which switches to lively scanning solely when an integration really wants it, and solely on one scanner at a time. The outcome: round 95–96% much less battery used for Bluetooth scanning, whereas all the things retains working the best way it did. The Bluetooth UI catches up too, labeling every adapter as Auto (lively) or Auto (passive), and the gadget information dialog gained a Uncooked commercial discipline for debugging. Extra on the default change within the backward-incompatible modifications part.
Firmware model within the gadgets desk. The Units web page will get a hidden-by-default Firmware column you possibly can change on from the desk choices, making it straightforward to examine whether or not a firmware replace really landed with out altering the default structure. Thanks, @markvp!

A clearer view of your own home’s power

Two quality-of-life upgrades land within the power dashboard this launch. ⚡

When you’ve got a house battery, now you can hook up its state-of-charge sensor (the proportion one) proper from Settings > Dashboards > Vitality. As soon as it’s set, the Battery node on the power distribution card reveals the present cost degree alongside the power flowing out and in, and an identical battery badge seems on the prime of the power panel so you possibly can see at a look how full your battery is, with out leaving the dashboard. Thanks, @MindFreeze!

The opposite addition is small however long-requested: now you can give your grid, photo voltaic, battery, fuel, and water sources a customized title within the power configuration. So as an alternative of “Grid consumption” and “Grid return”, you possibly can name them “Foremost meter” and “Photo voltaic export”, or no matter is smart in your dwelling. The names circulation via to the playing cards, charts, and statistics, making multi-source setups (like a separate EV meter or a second water faucet) far simpler to inform aside. Thanks, @karwosts!

Fast hyperlinks between all the things you care about

Dwelling Assistant is stuffed with issues which are associated to one another: a tool has entities, these entities present up in automations and scripts, automations stay in areas, areas have labels, and so forth. Getting from one to the following used to imply a number of back-and-forth between settings pages.

This launch threads a beneficiant set of fast hyperlinks via these views so you possibly can bounce straight to the associated factor, or create a brand new one with out dropping your house:

Machine pages now bundle associated automations, scriptsScripts are parts that let you specify a sequence of actions to be executed by Dwelling Assistant when turned on. [Learn more], and scenesScenes seize the states you need sure entities to be. For instance, a scene can specify that gentle A must be turned on and light-weight B must be vibrant purple. [Learn more] right into a single Associated card (as an alternative of three separate ones), and the present fast hyperlinks part positive factors shortcuts to all the opposite locations that reference the gadget.
Space pages obtained the identical therapy, with fast hyperlinks into the tables and dashboards that already filter by that space in a single step.
From an entity, gadget, or space, now you can create a brand new automation or script with that concentrate on already wired right into a set off, situation, or motion, no copy-pasting entity IDs required. (This piece rides on prime of the purpose-specific triggers and situations Labs preview, so allow it at Settings > System > Labs to see the choice.)
Label navigation actions now embody scenes and scripts alongside automations, so a label like “morning routine” surfaces all the things tagged with it, not only a subset.

Individually these are small. Collectively they make Dwelling Assistant really feel much more related than it already was, with fewer detours between the pages. Thanks, @timmo001!

YAML linting contained in the UI editors

A small quality-of-life enchancment that ought to not go unnoticed. You don’t must know or use YAML to make use of Dwelling Assistant, however when you prefer it, or wish to dive into extra particular use instances, we provide the energy to take action.

The YAML code editors all through the UI now present inline linting: lacking colons, unmatched quotes, and sure, that one area too many or too few in your indentation (we all know, we all know 😅), are all highlighted as you kind, proper subsequent to the road that causes them. No extra saving, hitting an obscure error, and scrolling again to seek out the trigger.
