Boo! 👻
We simply celebrated our birthday 🥳, which implies it’s time for spooky season; prepare for Halloween! And, good day to the October launch of Residence Assistant 2025.10! 🎃
This launch iterates on a number of the options we launched within the final couple of releases, but additionally introduces some brand-new ones!
The spotlight of this launch is unquestionably the iterations of the automation editor, which gained a sidebar final launch, and now has gained undo/redo performance, a resizable sidebar, improved copy/paste, and extra! Thanks for all of the suggestions you offered on the earlier launch; it made an enormous distinction on this launch.
Utilizing a number of wake phrases for voice assistants is now potential, which opens up loads of prospects, particularly for dual-language households (like mine 😉). Dashboards get extra clever by suggesting entities based mostly in your utilization patterns, and the AI Activity can now generate pictures, which I’m curious to see what the group will do with it!
Benefit from the launch!

An enormous thanks to all of the contributors who made this launch potential! And a particular shout-out to @JLo
Automation editor
Within the final launch, we launched a brand new format for the automation editor, and your suggestions has been invaluable in serving to us refine it!
This launch fixes a number of of the commonest points we managed to collect from all of you. Thanks for all of the suggestions! ❤️
The sidebar is resizable
Engaged on an motion that’s too advanced for a small sidebar? Perhaps one with a number of YAML fields? Now you can resize the sidebar to adapt the format to your present process!
CTRL+V
We beforehand launched keyboard shortcuts to repeat and lower.
Pasting was extra advanced to deliver to life as a result of you possibly can paste a block (set off, situation, motion) in many various areas in your automation. On this launch, we introduce a extremely easy sample. In the event you beforehand copied a block, you possibly can paste it beneath any block just by choosing it and urgent CTRL+V.
One other quite simple, however very welcome, quality-of-life enchancment to the automation editor!
The overflow menu is again
We initially relocated the overflow menu (the menu that seems if you click on the ⋮) with all of the choices associated to a block on the sidebar, considering this may make the stream cleaner.
Resulting from common demand and useful suggestions that some actions had been tougher to succeed in (comparable to testing a situation or working an motion), we determined to deliver it again to the principle part of the editor as effectively.
Undo/Redo
We’ve all been there: you’re constructing a posh automation, make a mistake, and wish to revert it, solely to seek out out that it’s actually not easy. Up till now, the one solution to revert some unsaved modifications made to an automation was to shut it and begin over once more… A really painful workflow.
This launch introduces an Undo performance (and its related Redo). Now you can undo as much as 75 steps again in your automation enhancing historical past (and redo them if you’d like). Commonplace keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+Z and CTRL+Y) are additionally obtainable! An incredible contribution from @jpbede
Repeat repeat repeat repeat
Lastly, we observed some undesirable complexity in our “repeat” constructing block, which lets you repeat one or a number of actions for so long as you’ll want to.
This complexity stemmed from the truth that we had been making an attempt to cowl 4 fundamental use instances in a single block.
We determined to separate this constructing block into 4 smaller ones, with less complicated descriptions explaining every use case. Good!
Right here’s how they had been separated:
- Repeat a number of occasions – Repeat a sequence of actions a hard and fast variety of occasions.
- Repeat till – Repeat a sequence of actions till a situation is happy. The situation is checked after every run of the sequence.
- Repeat whereas – Repeat a sequence of actions so long as a situation is happy. The situation is checked earlier than every run of the sequence.
- Repeat for every – Repeat a sequence for every ingredient of an inventory.
For our superior customers: This evolution is simply beauty. The YAML format of the repeat block doesn’t change; this implies your present automations won’t be affected by this transformation.
Automation editor suggestions
Certainly one of Residence Assistant’s biggest strengths is our group. We’re constructing this automation editor collectively, and your enter will form the place it goes subsequent. There are two methods to become involved:
AI Activity – Draw me a sheep
In 2025.8, we launched a solution to generate information utilizing the LLM of your alternative, paving the way in which to extra AI-driven automations, dashboards, and different good residence interactions.
On this launch, we introduce a solution to generate pictures!
Now each time somebody rings your doorbell, you possibly can obtain a notification with a cartoon model of the doorbell snapshot. @JLo

Dashboards get smarter – let your house recommend what to indicate
Within the final launch, we launched the Residence dashboard, providing a less complicated solution to management and monitor your good residence for those who don’t have the time, power, or have to customise your individual dashboard intimately.
Now we’ve added a brand new idea: sections of prompt entities. This follows a fundamental algorithm that means entities you have got interacted with probably the most up to now. It then exhibits these entities based mostly on the hour of the day, with solely related controls being prompt.
Including prediction entities to any dashboard
In the event you’re making a handbook dashboard with sections, you possibly can combine these prediction controls straight into it. The setup follows a section-based method:
- Add a brand new part.
- Open and edit the YAML of that part.
- Substitute your complete part YAML with the next snippet:
technique:
kind: common-controls
title: Frequent controls
Certainly one of Residence Assistant’s biggest strengths is our group. We’re constructing this dashboard collectively, and your enter will form the place it goes subsequent. There are two methods to become involved:
Voice
Hiya, hola
For a really very long time, ESPHome-based voice assistants (even the tiny Atom Echo) secretly supported a number of wake phrases underneath the hood. With this launch, we’re lastly opening up this characteristic to you!
Now you can outline two wake phrases and two assistants for each voice assistant in your house!
This makes it simple to assist dual-language households by assigning completely different wake phrases to completely different languages. For instance, “Okay Nabu” may very well be used for French, whereas “Hey Jarvis” is used for English.
A number of wake phrases and assistants can be utilized for different functions as effectively. Need to maintain your native and cloud-based voice assistants separate? Straightforward! “Okay Nabu” may very well be used for a cloud-based assistant whereas “Hey Jarvis” is used for an area one.
We’d love to listen to suggestions on how you propose to make use of a number of wake phrases in your house!
Beep boop
After a voice command, Help responds with a brief affirmation like “Turned on the lights” or “Brightness set”. This allows you to know that it understood your command and took the suitable actions. Nevertheless, for those who’re in the identical room because the voice assistant, this affirmation can really feel redundant since you possibly can see or hear that the suitable actions had been taken.
Beginning with this launch, Help will detect in case your voice command’s actions all occurred inside the similar space because the satellite tv for pc gadget. In that case, a brief affirmation “beep” will likely be performed as an alternative of the complete verbal response. Apart from being much less verbose, this additionally serves as a fast reminder that your voice command solely affected the present space.
This characteristic doesn’t work for AI-enabled Assistants, as they’ll generate all kinds of responses that may’t get replaced with a easy beep.
