2026.10: You’re right here 📍

Residence Assistant 2026.10! 🎉

Final week, Nabu Casa dropped: Large Tech ruined the cloud, so we’re renaming ours. Residence Assistant Cloud is on its method to turning into Residence Assistant Hyperlink. Identical service, new identify. I really like that title, by the best way. In the event you haven’t learn the story behind it but, go take a look, and inform us what you suppose. The change is deliberate for the December launch, so there’s nonetheless time. 🏎️

Now, I’ll allow you to in on a secret: I’m an automation individual. Dashboards are pretty and I love everybody who builds a reasonably one, however for me, automationsAutomations in Residence Assistant permit you to routinely reply to issues that occur in and round your property. [Learn more] are what make a sensible house really sensible. So you’ll be able to think about how glad I’m with what’s on this launch. One of the crucial highly effective options you by no means thought you’d want has been sitting in Residence Assistant for years: set off IDs. Give your triggersA set off is the a part of an automation that makes the automation begin when one thing particular occurs, for instance, when the solar units, a door opens, or a button is pressed. [Learn more] an ID, and one automation can do the job of two, three, or 5. It was additionally tucked away in a menu, you needed to invent the IDs your self, after which bear in mind which was which. Loads of you by no means discovered it, and that’s on us.

Not anymore. Set off IDs lastly get a correct UI: you test the triggers you need within the situation, and Residence Assistant takes care of the IDs behind the scenes. And if you happen to like writing your individual IDs in YAMLYAML is a human-readable information serialization language. It’s used to retailer and transmit information in a structured format. In Residence Assistant, YAML is used for configuration, for instance within the configuration.yaml or automations.yaml recordsdata. [Learn more], nothing modifications. These preserve working precisely as earlier than. That makes it my favourite of this launch. 🧠

Don’t get me improper, the map is totally a cool function too. Final launch, each map in Residence Assistant broke in a single day when our map supplier needed an API key. We moved to OpenStreetMap, and it seems that swapping out the map opens a number of doorways: a vector map that stays sharp at each zoom degree, redesigned markers, and an summary of the place everybody has been. You’re right here. 📍

There’s extra: a tidier profile web page, a panel to your Modbus connections, connecting your AI in a single click on, and 15 new integrationsIntegrations join and combine Residence Assistant together with your units, companies, and extra. [Learn more]! 🚀

Benefit from the launch!

../Frenck

An enormous thanks to all of the contributors who made this launch doable! And a particular shout-out to @googanhiem and @piitaya who helped write these launch notes. Additionally, @grischard, @moryoav, and @RaHehl for placing effort into tweaking its contents. Due to them, these launch notes are in nice form. ❤️

Cloud turns into Hyperlink

In case you missed it, we’re making the transfer to rename Residence Assistant Cloud to Residence Assistant Hyperlink. Identical service, new identify.

We’re all fairly irritated by how Large Tech has been ruining completely good sensible house units by making them reliant on the cloud. Ours has by no means locked anybody in, harvested their information, or turned working units into e-waste, so a brand new identify was so as. Residence Assistant Hyperlink is all about being clearer that it does issues otherwise. The change is deliberate for the December launch, so inform us your ideas earlier than then.

The very best hyperlink is a quick hyperlink. 🏎️ Nabu Casa has been exhausting at work making distant entry even quicker throughout the globe. They not too long ago migrated all of their servers to reveal steel and added extra servers to spice up their protection of the world. This month, they added a latency checker that pings a number of servers on boot and picks the perfect connection for you.

A complete new map

Final launch, one thing modified beneath each map in Residence Assistant, and we barely talked about it within the launch notes. The map supplier we relied on began stamping an “API key required” message throughout its map photographs, breaking each map in Residence Assistant directly. As an alternative of trying to find one other free tile supplier, we switched from pre-rendered map photographs to vector tiles generated and served by the OpenStreetMap Basis. Each maps use OpenStreetMap information, however your system now attracts the map itself. The brand new Map tiles integration fetches and caches the tiles by way of your Residence Assistant occasion, so your browser doesn’t contact exterior tile servers straight. Not too long ago seen elements of the map stay obtainable by way of a brief web hiccup.

Guillaume Rischard (@grischard), the previous chair of the OpenStreetMap Basis who initiated and led its vector-tile initiative, joined us throughout the 2026.9 launch social gathering.

Swapping out the map beneath opened a number of doorways. This launch walks by way of the primary few.

Crisp at each zoom degree

Redesigned markers

The markers on the map acquired a whole redesign. Individuals present up with their image, zonesZones permit you to specify sure areas on a map. They allow zone presence-detection and can be utilized in automations. For instance, to begin the vacuum after you left house or begin the heating at house whenever you depart the workplace. [Learn more] get a marker with their icon in their very own coloration, and everybody in the identical zone shares a single bubble on that zone, as a substitute of a pile of markers stacked on prime of one another. Zoom out far sufficient, and bubbles that will overlap merge into one.

An summary for the Map dashboard

The Map dashboard now comes with an summary, subsequent to the map on a desktop and as a sheet you pull up in your telephone. It has three tabs: Individuals, Units, and Zones. Choose somebody to see their current exercise, with every cease coloured by the zone they have been in. Choose a zone to see who’s there. On a telephone, the map now additionally fills the entire display screen, edge to edge.

The identical overview reveals up whenever you put a map card in a panel view by yourself dashboard.

Zones on the brand new map

The zone editor in Settings > Areas, labels & zones now makes use of the identical new map. Your zones are sorted alphabetically, with Residence all the time on the prime, they usually present the identical icons and colours you see on the map.

The redesign follows an Open Residence Basis design idea for the Map dashboard.

Due to @maartenla, @matthiasdebaat, @bramkragten, and @bgoncal; @grischard for initiating vector maps on the OpenStreetMap facet and for helping us; and Paul Norman (@pnorman) for growing Tilekiln and the tile service. Thanks additionally to the OpenStreetMap Basis and the MapLibre, Shortbread, and VersaTiles communities.

Like Residence Assistant, OpenStreetMap is constructed within the open by individuals such as you. Spot one thing in your neighborhood that’s lacking or old-fashioned? You may depart a word or edit the map your self.

A tidier profile web page

Choose your identify on the backside of the sidebar, and also you land in your Person profile. Through the years, that web page quietly become a little bit of a junk drawer. Language, theme, date codecs, sidebar order, push notifications, keyboard shortcuts: all stacked in a single lengthy Common tab, with Safety as its solely neighbor. All the things was there. You simply needed to scroll previous most of it to search out the one factor you got here for.

The profile web page is now an summary, utilizing the identical sort of navigation you already know from Settings. On the prime is a card together with your account, adopted by your Theme, and a brief checklist of sections that every maintain a handful of associated settings:

• Look: Your default dashboard and the order of your sidebar
• Localization: Your language, time zone, and the way dates, instances, and numbers are proven
• This browser (or This cellular app within the companion app): Notifications, show, and shortcuts for the system you’re utilizing proper now
• Safety: Your password, multi-factor authentication, and entry tokens

Nothing was taken away. Each setting remains to be there, simply grouped so it’s simpler to search out. Thanks, @pcan08 and @maartenla!

That account card on the prime discovered a brand new trick, too. Till now, your individual identify and movie weren’t really yours to vary. Solely an administrator might set them, tucked away within the individual settings. Not an administrator, however you needed a nicer image of your self within the sidebar? You needed to go ask whoever runs your Residence Assistant. A bit odd, for one thing that’s actually your face.

Each person, administrator or not, now has an Edit profile button proper subsequent to Sign off. Add and crop an image, change your identify, and save. Your identify is used for each your person and the individual linked to it, so it’s the identical in every single place you present up, from the sidebar to your dashboards and Help. Your new image reveals up within the sidebar straight away.

The very best automation function you by no means used

Check out your automationsAutomations in Residence Assistant permit you to routinely reply to issues that occur in and round your property. [Learn more], and chances are high you’ll discover just a few that are available in pairs. One turns the hallway mild on when movement is detected, the opposite turns it off once more when the movement stops. One sends a notification when the washer begins, the opposite when it’s accomplished. Two automations, doing one job.

Residence Assistant has had a method to mix these into one for years. Give every set offA set off is the a part of an automation that makes the automation begin when one thing particular occurs, for instance, when the solar units, a door opens, or a button is pressed. [Learn more] an ID, and use the Triggered by situationSituations test 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 is just not met, the actions that come after it in the identical sequence don’t run. On the prime degree of an automation or script, this stops the automation or script. [Learn more] to do one thing totally different relying on which set off fired. It’s probably the most highly effective issues you are able to do within the automation editor, and likewise one of many best-hidden. The set off ID area sat within the menu of every set off. You needed to provide you with an ID, sort it in your self, after which bear in mind which ID belonged to which set off whenever you picked them within the situation. Most individuals by no means discovered it, and truthfully, we are able to’t blame them.

Not anymore. Add a Triggered by situation, and also you test the triggers it ought to match. You see the triggers themselves, not some ID you made up, and each is numbered by its place in your checklist, with the identical quantity proven subsequent to the set off itself. So that you all the time know which one is which. There are not any IDs to provide you with in any respect. Residence Assistant takes care of these behind the scenes, and cleans up after itself whenever you take away a set off.

In the event you set your set off IDs your self in YAMLYAML is a human-readable information serialization language. It’s used to retailer and transmit information in a structured format. In Residence Assistant, YAML is used for configuration, for instance within the configuration.yaml or automations.yaml recordsdata. [Learn more], nothing modifications. These IDs preserve working precisely as they did, sharing one ID between a number of triggers remains to be fantastic, and Residence Assistant gained’t add IDs to your YAML for you. The set off ID area is gone from the automation editor, since you not want it there: to run the identical actions for a number of triggers, test them multi functional Triggered by situation.

The editor does preserve an eye fixed out for 2 issues, however solely within the Triggered by situation. If a situation factors to a set off that not exists, it flags it, so you’ll be able to clear it. And if a number of triggers share the identical ID, it reveals a warning with a Repair that provides every set off its personal ID and updates your situations to match. It’s a suggestion, not a restore, so if sharing an ID is what you need, you’ll be able to depart it as it’s.

This completes an Open Residence Basis roadmap alternative to make referencing triggers in automations loads simpler. Thanks, @jpbede, @wendevlin, @marcinbauer-ohf, and @nielsrowinbik!

When you’re within the automation editor, you’ll discover your triggersA set off is the a part of an automation that makes the automation begin when one thing particular occurs, for instance, when the solar units, a door opens, or a button is pressed. [Learn more], situationsSituations test 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 is just not met, the actions that come after it in the identical sequence don’t run. On the prime degree of an automation or script, this stops the automation or script. [Learn more], and actionsAn motion makes Residence 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] inform you a bit extra at a look. Every row now reveals the main points that was hidden till you opened it: the brink a set off or situation checks for, like “above 10 °C”, how lengthy one thing wants to remain that means, the offset on a dawn or sundown, and the way lengthy a wait motion waits earlier than it offers up. Thanks, @wendevlin and @MindFreeze!
