On this launch, it’s supported by Matter, Ecovacs, and Roborock.
The most effective half? The motion makes use of your current Residence Assistant areas, not some obscure vendor-specific identifiers. You merely map the segments your vacuum is aware of about to the areas you’ve already arrange in Residence Assistant, and that’s all there’s to it.
Getting began
When your vacuum helps space cleansing, you may arrange the mapping by means of the vacuum’s entity settings. Open the vacuum entity, choose the
In case your vacuum’s inside section structure ever adjustments (for instance, after remapping within the producer’s app or the vacuum rediscovering its atmosphere), Residence Assistant will discover. A restore problem will warn you that the segments have modified, so you may replace your mapping and ensure the whole lot stays in sync.
Paving the way in which for voice
As a result of the mapping makes use of native Residence Assistant areas, this function lays the groundwork for future voice assistant assist. Think about merely saying “clear the kitchen” and having your vacuum head to the appropriate space. That’s not out there simply but, however the basis is now in place to make it occur.
Vitality dashboard enhancements
The Vitality dashboard acquired a pleasant batch of enhancements this launch.
The Now view gained badges that present real-time energy consumption, gasoline circulation fee, and water circulation fee at a look. Water additionally will get its personal Sankey chart within the Now view, supplying you with a visible breakdown of water utilization throughout your own home, identical to the present energy Sankey chart.
To cut back ambiguity, the second tab on the Vitality dashboard has been renamed from Vitality to Electrical energy, because the dashboard covers electrical energy, gasoline, and water.

Wake phrase detection in your Android telephone (experimental)
Your telephone simply turned a voice satellite tv for pc! The Residence Assistant Companion app for Android now helps on-device wake phrase detection, permitting you to open Help from wherever; even when your telephone is locked.
Impressed from the nice work from @brownard
This function makes use of microWakeWord
You may select between three wake phrases:
- Okay Nabu
- Hey Jarvis
- Hey Mycroft
To allow wake phrase detection, open your Android machine’s Settings > Companion App > Help for Android, and allow the Allow wake phrase detection toggle. As soon as enabled, merely say your chosen wake phrase and the Help pipeline will open, able to take your command.
Watch the video to see wake phrase detection in motion on an Android machine.
It already integrates along with your voice gear at house, and if one other satellite tv for pc is close by, solely the quickest one will reply. This additionally applies to a number of Android gadgets.
Battery utilization
As a result of wake phrase detection requires steady microphone entry and CPU utilization, this function does have a noticeable affect on battery life. To assist handle this, you should utilize automations to begin and cease wake phrase detection based mostly in your context, for instance, solely enabling it once you’re related to your own home Wi-Fi or inside a selected zone. This fashion, you get hands-free voice management when it issues most, with out draining your battery all day.
Battery utilization might be drastically lowered if Google opened their API for {hardware} hotword detection. Sadly, that is hidden behind a system API that solely telephone producers have entry to. Possibly in the future they are going to open it as much as enhance the expertise.

We at all times make certain to doc these adjustments to make the transition as simple as potential for you. This launch has the next backward-incompatible adjustments:
BSB-Lan

Container picture
Residence Assistant container photographs at the moment are compressed with zstd as an alternative of gzip. Since containerd has supported zstd since 2021, this isn’t anticipated to interrupt present installations. In case you are working a really outdated container runtime, make certain it helps zstd earlier than updating.
LIFX
Passing the color_temp parameter (in mireds) to the lifx.effect_pulse motion is not allowed. Use the color_temp_kelvin parameter as an alternative.
Lights
Utilizing color_temp (in mireds) to set a lightweight’s shade temperature is not supported. Use color_temp_kelvin as an alternative.
Moreover, the color_temp, kelvin, min_mireds, and max_mireds mild entity state attributes have been eliminated. Use color_temp_kelvin, min_color_temp_kelvin, and max_color_temp_kelvin as an alternative.
Satel Integra

The prospect that you’re impacted is low, as most states are reported earlier than Residence Assistant absolutely finishes setup; however this would possibly happen on bigger installations and slower connections.
Snapcast
Media participant entities for Snapcast teams have been eliminated. Moreover, the Snapcast-specific grouping actions have been eliminated. In the event you use these entities or actions in your automations or scripts, you will want to replace them.
StarLine
The ignition and autostart state attributes of the engine swap have been eliminated. Two new binary sensors have been launched to switch them. In the event you reference these attributes in your automations or scripts, replace them to make use of the brand new binary sensor entities as an alternative.
Tado
Cell machine monitoring has been faraway from the Tado integration. Cell gadgets and their related machine tracker entities are not out there. This alteration resolves re-authentication points and reduces pointless load on the Tado API.
Template
The conduct of template followers has modified:
- A template fan’s state might be
unavailableif thestatetemplate encounters a syntax error. Beforehand, a template error would present the fan’s state asoff. - The
shareattribute might beNoneif thesharetemplate encounters a syntax error. Beforehand, it might be0. - Template followers can now have the
unknownstate. Astatetemplate that returnsNonewill render the entity asunknownas an alternative ofoff.
Z-Wave
Share speeds reported by Z-Wave followers have been corrected to align with different integrations. Because of this, values might differ barely. For instance, a price beforehand reported as 67% might now seem as 66%. You probably have automations that set off on precise share values, you might want to regulate them.
