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

A model new goal picker

Have you ever ever been constructing an automation and puzzled, “Wait, which ceiling mild is that this?” whenever you see three entities all named “Ceiling mild”? Or tried to determine what number of lights you’re truly controlling whenever you goal a whole flooring or space?

We’ve all been there. Till now, the goal picker didn’t present you the total image. You couldn’t see which machine an entity belonged to or which space it was assigned to. And whenever you chosen a flooring or space as your goal, you had no concept what number of entities you have been truly affecting. This uncertainty meant lots of you caught with focusing on particular person entities, though bigger targets (like areas and flooring) could make your automations far more versatile.

The brand new goal picker adjustments all that. Now you get full context for all the pieces you’re focusing on, and you’ll see precisely what number of entities will likely be affected by your motion.

Wish to dig deeper? You may develop any flooring, space, or machine to see precisely which entities are included and the place they’re coming from.

This makes it a lot simpler to construct automations that scale with your house. Once you goal an space or flooring, your automation routinely adapts as you add or take away gadgets. No extra updating your automations each time you add a brand new mild or sensor. Your automations simply work, which is strictly the way it must be.

A model new method so as to add triggers, circumstances, and actions in your automations

It’s no secret that we’re presently working laborious on making automations simpler to create. After the discharge of the automation sidebar two releases in the past, we are actually introducing a brand new dialog so as to add triggers, circumstances, and actions.

The adjustments are purely beauty: the dialog is larger, so the outline of every block is easier to learn, with a two-pane format to ease each navigation and block choice.

The constructing blocks (that are used to carry out extra complicated circumstances or sequences of actions, equivalent to repeating actions or branching out your sequence into a number of paths) have been moved into the primary dialog on a second tab. There’s now a single entry level so as to add one thing to an automation as an alternative of two, drastically lowering the variety of buttons in complicated automations.

As talked about above, these adjustments are purely beauty, for now! However this new dialog is the inspiration of what’s coming subsequent, and we can not wait to current that to you as soon as it lastly lands.

Naming entities in your dashboard

A couple of releases in the past, we gave the entity picker an enormous improve by including extra context so you possibly can simply see the place every entity belongs (Could 2025 launch). On this launch, we’re bringing that very same flexibility to your dashboards.

Now you can select how names seem in your playing cards: present the entity, machine, space, flooring, and even mix them. This offers you full management over how your dashboards feel and look. For instance, in a devoted part for a particular machine, you may select to show solely the entity identify to keep away from repeating the machine identify on each card.

In fact, you may nonetheless set a customized identify if you need full management over the textual content proven.

And the most effective half? When you rename an entity or machine, your dashboards will routinely keep in sync. No extra handbook edits wanted; all the pieces simply updates itself.

Power pie

We’ve added a brand new format to the gadgets vitality graph: “pie” 🥧. You may toggle between the common bar chart and the brand new pie chart by clicking the icon within the top-right nook.

Doing this made the top-right nook of the opposite vitality playing cards really feel empty, so we used that house to show the entire vitality for the chosen interval. For instance, if the date picker is ready to at this time, the entire photo voltaic vitality for at this time will likely be displayed within the nook of the photo voltaic manufacturing graph card.

Progress for Dwelling Assistant and Add-on updates

With this launch, now you can observe the progress of updates to Dwelling Assistant and Add-ons (managed by the Supervisor)! The progress contains the levels of downloading and unpacking, so the time required will range primarily based in your web pace, CPU efficiency, and system load.

current_tilt_position = 25 -> 75
current_tilt_position = 0 -> 100
open_cover_tilt -> close_cover_tilt
close_cover_tilt -> open_cover_tilt

Any automations regarding Movement Blinds gadgets that use the current_tilt_position attribute or use tilt open/shut will should be adjusted.

The individual entity now exhibits the zone’s pleasant identify (not its object ID) for customized zones. This may break present automations that set off on an individual’s state.

For instance, you probably have a zone named zone.kids_school with the pleasant identify College:

Earlier than this transformation, the state of the corresponding individual and device_tracker entities could be kids_school when the “Location Despatched” within the companion app was set to ship “Zone Title Solely” and College when it was set to “Precise”.
After this transformation, the state of the corresponding individual and device_tracker entities will likely be College for each the “Location Despatched” settings within the companion app.
