your community storage.
A number of community storages are additionally supported; should you like, you may
simply add extra.
Integrations dashboard & pages
The integrations dashboard has gotten a serious overhaul!
There have been fairly some usability points with the earlier model of the
integration dashboard. For instance, should you use ESPHome with many units,
you’re undoubtedly accustomed to the annoying scrolling in that little card. Or,
huge error messages stretching these playing cards out, messing up the entire web page.
This launch brings in an entire new integrations dashboard that addresses many
of those points, aiming to offer a cleaner and extra constant expertise.
Gadget based mostly integrations, like ESPHome, are mixed: no extra scrolling.
A failing integration now not stretches the structure or makes the
structure “bounce” throughout retries. Customized integrations and integrations relying
on the cloud at the moment are extra visibly marked.
Deciding on the cog icon on the combination card will convey you to a model new
integrations web page, exhibiting all details about the combination:
Within the above instance, the ESPHome integration web page reveals all units
this integration has. All the data and choices, beforehand squashed into
the combination dashboard, at the moment are obtainable right here.
These model new integration pages are useful somewhere else in Residence Assistant.
For instance, the system pages can now hyperlink again on to the combination
that supplied it.
Mild entity dialog enhancements: favourite colours
Lately we launched new controls within the gentle entity dialog, and this launch
iterates on the design by including the present brightness, new controls,
and including favourite colours! 🎨
Every gentle (or gentle group) has its personal set of colours. These colours can
be added, modified, eliminated, and reorganized utilizing drag-and-drop. To enter
edit mode, choose and maintain one of many colours:
Added to the entity dialog: final modified
By common request, the data on when an entity was final modified has
been added again to the brand new entity data dialogs.
Not solely that, @piitaya added a really good easter egg! You may click on on it
to toggle between the relative and absolute format!
Associated data
Which automation is utilizing that blueprint? Effectively, Residence Assistant can now let you know
that! On the Settings > Automations & Scenes > Blueprints
web page, choose the three dotted menu on any blueprint to find which
automations are utilizing that blueprint.
Not solely that, should you by chance attempt to take away a blueprint that’s nonetheless in use,
Residence Assistant will cease you from eradicating it and let you know which automations
nonetheless depend on it.
Maintain on; there may be extra associated! The associated objects within the entity data
dialog have been improved as properly. The previous listing of hyperlinks is gone, and it now reveals
a far more trendy view of all associated objects for an entity:
Discover the way it properly hyperlinks again to the brand new integration web page right here too!
Copy ’n paste help within the automation editor
A tremendous contribution by @karwosts on this launch that provides lower, copy
& paste capabilities to the automation and script editors!
Now you can copy and paste any set off, situation, and motion into totally different
locations of your automation and even paste it into a distinct automation
altogether!
Python 3.11 and important efficiency upgrades
This launch ships operating on Python 3.11! In case you’re questioning, what’s
that? Effectively, Python is the language the Core of Residence Assistant is written in.
Why it issues? It’s significantly quicker! 🚀
Should you run the Residence Assistant Working System or are utilizing the Residence Assistant
Container set up sort: You gained’t need to do something as we deal with the
improve to Python 3.11 for you.
And that’s not all when it comes to efficiency. We’ve additionally upgraded inside elements,
together with a more recent SQLite model that needs to be quicker. Oh! And, after all,
@bdraco has been far and wide to optimize lots (lots lot).
This launch will be anticipated to be lots quicker (or much less consuming) of sources
at runtime.
Matter 1.1
The Matter implementation inside Residence Assistant is now based mostly on the freshly
launched 1.1 model of the Matter customary. This brings a ton of stability
fixes and enhancements, however sadly, no new options.
Due to @Diegorro98, we do now have help for tilt covers! Moreover that,
this Residence Assistant launch ships with a number of generic bugfixes and
optimizations; we’ve managed to squeeze out some extra efficiency to
make state updates to your Matter units lightning-fast 🚀
All these stability enhancements to each the Matter stack and our
implementation didn’t go unnoticed:
Z-Wave updates
There was fairly a little bit of progress on Z-Wave in Residence Assistant.
Due to @raman325, the combination reached platinum degree 🏆 on our
high quality scale. This implies the combination now does issues proper in accordance
to greatest practices which ought to imply a greater person expertise normally.
Have you ever ever turned on a Z-Wave gentle from the Residence Assistant UI simply to see
the toggle going off once more after a few seconds, then after some extra
seconds seeing it going again to on? This long-standing difficulty (that even obtained the
nickname flip/flop) for sure units, which are sluggish to answer their
state has lastly been addressed.
For these of you that wish to automate all the pieces, now you can automate not
solely the Z-Wave system state but additionally the system configuration. We added system
configuration parameter entities so that nearly each Z-Wave system setting
is now obtainable as an entity.
Not stopping there, we additionally added entities for system connection statistics,
which you need to use to, for instance, create a notification if a tool generates
greater than a certain quantity of dropped messages. If you wish to monitor
a misbehaving system, you may allow these sensors to view the historical past
of the connection efficiency.
Within the background, @AlCalzone is working tirelessly on the Z-Wave JS driver,
which is the muse of our Z-Wave integration. Amongst different issues, some
units at the moment are quicker to interview throughout addition, and extra units
will be configured.
New entities! Date, time, date/time
We welcome three new entity sorts on this launch:
date, time & datetime.
These entities permit integrations to offer date, time, or date/time enter
controls from the UI. They’re similar to the enter datetime
helper however can be found to be used by integrations.
How the brand new time, date, and date/time entities will appear to be in your dashboards.
They’re so new that no integrations are utilizing them but, however you may anticipate
to see utilization in (customized) integrations of those quickly!
Thanks for creating these @raman325!
