Dwelling Assistant 2026.6! 🎉
I’m going to place my hand up instantly: ✋ I’m not a dashboard individual. Not as a result of I don’t like them; I really like seeing what you all construct. However designing a lovely one is a sort of visible creativity I simply don’t have. That’s a giant a part of why I really like the built-in Dwelling dashboard a lot, it does the designing for me. However once I do construct a customized dashboard, I often stare at that “add a card” dialog for manner too lengthy, choosing playing cards virtually at random simply to see if they appear good with the information I’ve.
So you may think about my pleasure for my private favourite of this launch: the new card picker. As an alternative of asking “which card sort do I would like?”, it now asks “which factor in your house do you need to present?”, after which suggests playing cards that really make sense for it, with stay previews utilizing your personal information. For somebody like me, that’s not simply
simpler; it’s genuinely inspiring. It nudges me in the direction of mixtures I’d not have considered by myself. 💡
This suits into a much bigger course I maintain getting extra enthusiastic about: Dwelling Assistant getting higher at ranging from the factor you need to do, as a substitute of asking you to first be taught the constructing blocks. The identical thought is what makes purpose-specific triggers and circumstances in Dwelling Assistant Labs really feel so proper, and this launch brings them a giant step nearer to graduating out of Labs with model new zone triggers and circumstances. 📍
An in depth second favourite for me this launch is the whole lot occurring round that within the automation editor: stay take a look at indicators in your circumstances, goal counts on each system, space, flooring, and label, and correct notes you may connect to any step. Individually they’re small quality-of-life touches; collectively, they make constructing automations really feel an entire lot extra clear. ✨
And there’s loads extra to like on this launch: new tile card options, Z-Wave good locks catching up with their Matter siblings, a friendlier Apps web page, and one other massive batch of recent integrations from our group. 🚀
Benefit from the launch!

An enormous thanks to all of the contributors who made this launch doable! And a particular shout-out to @piitaya who helped write the discharge notes this launch. Additionally, @karwosts, @lexpostma, and @Petro31 for placing effort into tweaking its contents. Because of them, these launch notes are in nice form. ❤️
A friendlier manner so as to add playing cards to your dashboard
Including a card to a dashboard is a kind of moments the place Dwelling Assistant has traditionally requested numerous you. The previous dialog opened on a wall of card sorts, all named after the constructing blocks we use underneath the hood: tile, entities, button, gauge, look, image, markdown, and so forth. Pretty when you already know what each does. Loads much less beautiful when you got here in pondering “I simply need my front room gentle on this dashboard.” 💡
Person analysis saved telling us the identical factor: individuals open the editor with a systemA tool is a mannequin representing a bodily or logical unit that comprises entities. or an entityAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or perform in Dwelling Assistant. Entities are used to watch bodily properties or to manage different entities. An entity is often a part of a tool or a service. [Learn more] in thoughts, not a card sort. So we flipped the dialog round.
Whenever you add a card now, the dialog opens on a brand new By entity tab. On the left, your own home: a tree of flooringA flooring in Dwelling Assistant is a logical grouping of areas that should match the bodily flooring in your house. Gadgets & entities aren’t assigned to flooring however to areas. Flooring can be utilized in automations and scripts as a goal for actions. For instance, to show off all of the lights on the downstairs flooring while you go to mattress. [Learn more], areasAn space in Dwelling Assistant is a logical grouping of gadgets and entities that should match areas (or rooms) within the bodily world: your own home. For instance, the front room space teams gadgets and entities in your front room. [Learn more], gadgets, and entities, the identical form a few of chances are you’ll acknowledge from the brand new purpose-specific triggers and circumstances at the moment in Settings > System > Labs. Something that doesn’t match cleanly into your areas exhibits up underneath Unassigned, so nothing will get misplaced. Search jumps straight to a flat outcome checklist.
Decide an entity, and the fitting aspect fills with stay previews of playing cards that really match it, not a generic checklist:
- For a gentle, you get a plain tile, a tile with a brightness slider, a toggle tile, shade temperature, and favourite colours.
- For a cowl, open/shut, a place slider, and tilt.
- For a media participant, a tile with playback controls or with the amount slider.
- For a numeric sensor like temperature, humidity, or energy, a pattern graph tile so you may see historical past at a look.
- For a calendar or to-do checklist, the matching devoted card.
- And a Browse all playing cards possibility in case none of these is what you wished; the acquainted By card tab continues to be there too, unchanged.
Each suggestion renders as an actual preview of how the cardboard will look in your dashboard, along with your information, earlier than you choose it. No extra “add it, see the way it appears to be like, delete it, attempt the following one.”
Customized playing cards can be a part of the celebration too. If a customized card you have got put in has opted in to the brand new picker, its options present up underneath a separate Neighborhood part, proper under the built-in ones. Assist is determined by the customized card’s creator including it.
On cellular, the identical dialog turns right into a two-step stream: choose your entity, then choose your card.
That is the primary seen step of a broader effort on the Open Dwelling Basis roadmap to make constructing a dashboard really feel as pure as constructing an automation: begin from what you need to management, and let Dwelling Assistant recommend the remainder. Anticipate extra on this course within the releases to come back.
Preserve a customized card? You possibly can decide in to the brand new picker by including a getEntitySuggestion perform to your window.customCards entry. The developer weblog publish Customized card options within the card picker walks via the main points.
Infrared now additionally listens
Two releases in the past, infrared grew to become a first-class citizen of Dwelling Assistant, however as a one-way road: Dwelling Assistant might ship instructions to your TV or air conditioner, however it had no strategy to hear what the system, or its authentic distant, was doing. Essentially the most asked-for follow-up was easy: “can Dwelling Assistant additionally hear?” 📡
On this launch, it does.
The Infrared platform positive aspects a brand new receiver occasion entityOccasions are indicators which are emitted when one thing occurs, for instance, when a person presses a bodily button like a doorbell or when a button on a distant management is pressed. [Learn more]. Any transmitter integration that helps it will possibly expose the IR instructions it picks up as occasions in Dwelling Assistant, able to drive automations similar to another occasion set off. ESPHome is the primary transmitter integration on board, so any ESPHome system with an IR receiver wired up can now act as an IR listener on your complete home. On the system aspect, LG Infrared is the primary system integration to make use of it, exposing the instructions its receiver sees as occasions you may react to.
This implies you may maintain Dwelling Assistant in sync with the unique distant: use the distant that got here with the system, and Dwelling Assistant sees it occur as a substitute of being left at the hours of darkness with stale state. It additionally opens the door for future integrations to do extra with what they hear, like turning a spare IR distant right into a Dwelling Assistant controller.
That is the second half of the infrared story we began two releases in the past, making infrared a real two-way platform in Dwelling Assistant. It additionally closes out the Open Dwelling Basis roadmap alternative that got down to make infrared a two-way platform in Dwelling Assistant.
Sprucing the automation editor
Ever since Dwelling Assistant 2025.12 launched purpose-specific triggers and circumstances, each launch has nudged the automation editor just a little nearer to the way you really take into consideration your own home. The work in Labs is ongoing, and suggestions retains pouring in. Whereas we maintain iterating there, the remainder of the automation editor has been getting some love too. ✨
Objective-specific triggers and circumstances
The Labs preview retains rising, each in capabilities and polish. This launch picks up the place final month left off: the cross-domain successors to the previous Individual and System Tracker residence triggers and circumstances have landed, this time constructed round zones. 📍
4 new zone triggers and 4 new zone circumstances cowl the identical floor the eliminated entered_home, left_home, is_home, and is_not_home constructing blocks did, however in a extra versatile manner:
- Triggers to react when an individual or system trackerSystem trackers are used to trace the presence, or location, of a tool. [Learn more] enters or leaves a zoneZones will let you specify sure areas on a map. They permit zone presence-detection and can be utilized in automations. For instance, to begin the vacuum after you left residence or begin the heating at residence while you depart the workplace. [Learn more], and when a zone turns into occupied or empty.
- Circumstances to examine whether or not an individual or system tracker is in or not in a zone, or whether or not a zone is at the moment occupied or not.
You’re now not restricted to your own home zone: any zone you’ve outlined works, so reacting to somebody arriving at work, college, or the fitness center is simply as simple. Each triggers and circumstances help the for length area added final launch, so you may wait till somebody has really settled in (or out) earlier than doing something.
We’ve additionally been busy giving the present triggers and circumstances the documentation they deserve. About half of the purpose-specific triggers and circumstances now have their very own devoted reference web page over at triggers and circumstances, with examples, choices, and the small particulars that make an actual distinction when you’re wiring issues up. The remainder are on their manner.
Haven’t tried them but? Now is a good time. Allow the function at Settings > System > Labs, give it a spin, and tell us what you suppose. The extra suggestions we acquire, the earlier we are able to graduate this out of Labs.
See precisely what number of issues an automation targets
Whenever you construct an automationAutomations in Dwelling Assistant will let you robotically reply to issues that occur in and round your own home. [Learn more] that acts on a flooringA flooring in Dwelling Assistant is a logical grouping of areas that should match the bodily flooring in your house. Gadgets & entities aren’t assigned to flooring however to areas. Flooring can be utilized in automations and scripts as a goal for actions. For instance, to show off all of the lights on the downstairs flooring while you go to mattress. [Learn more], an spaceAn space in Dwelling Assistant is a logical grouping of gadgets and entities that should match areas (or rooms) within the bodily world: your own home. For instance, the front room space teams gadgets and entities in your front room. [Learn more], a labelLabels in Dwelling Assistant permit grouping parts regardless of their bodily location or sort. Labels might be assigned to areas, gadgets, entities, automations, scenes, scripts, and helpers. Labels can be utilized in automations and scripts as a goal for actions. Labels may also be used to filter information. [Learn more], or a tool, the editor used to only present the title of that concentrate on. So “Bedrooms” might imply three lights, or thirty, with no strategy to inform at a look.
Now each flooring, space, system, and label capsule in your automation rows exhibits the variety of entities it expands to, proper subsequent to its title. In case your goal selector additionally filters by area or system class, the depend displays that filter, so what you see is what the motion will really contact. Choose the capsule for a fast peek at precisely which entities are included.
It’s the sort of small element that turns “I hope this solely hits the fitting lights” into “yep, twelve, that’s right”, particularly useful as your own home grows otherwise you begin utilizing labels throughout rooms.
See at a look which circumstances cross
Circumstances are the gatekeepers of your automations. They resolve whether or not one thing runs or not, and when an automation doesn’t hearth the way in which you anticipated, the primary query is often: “which situation was really blocking it?” Till now, discovering out meant testing every situation one after the other, or ready for the following run and digging via the hint afterwards.
The automation editor now tells you proper there, if you are modifying. Each situation row exhibits a small stay take a look at indicator as a badge on its icon that updates in actual time as your own home adjustments:
- A inexperienced examine when the situation at the moment passes
- A pink circle when it doesn’t
- A impartial state when the situation is incomplete or can’t be evaluated but
- A transparent error indicator, with the total message in a tooltip, when the configuration is invalid
Hover the icon to see precisely what the situation is reporting. Edit the situation, and the badge updates instantly, so you may dial in thresholds, zones, or state matches and see the outcome with out leaving the editor. The identical indicators additionally present up on dashboard visibility circumstances, so the playing cards you disguise or present conditionally inform you an identical story.
That is a part of a broader roadmap effort to convey residence context into the automation editor: surfacing the data that you must construct and debug automations proper the place you might be engaged on them.
Add notes to any step in your automation
Aliases are nice for renaming a set off or motion, however they’ve all the time been a single line, and so they double because the label you see within the row. So when you wished to elucidate why a step exists (“the porch sensor typically triggers by itself in winter, so this waits a number of seconds to verify”), you had been out of luck with out dropping into YAML.
Each set offA set off is a set of values or circumstances of a platform which are outlined to trigger an automation to run. [Learn more], situationCircumstances are an optionally available a part of an automation that may forestall an motion from firing if they aren’t met. [Learn more], motionActions are utilized in a number of locations in Dwelling Assistant. As a part of a script or automation, actions outline what will occur as soon as a set off is activated. In scripts, an motion is named sequence. [Learn more], possibility, and scriptScripts are elements that will let you specify a sequence of actions to be executed by Dwelling Assistant when turned on. [Learn more] area now has a devoted Notes area, separate from its title. Open the step’s sidebar, jot down no matter future-you must know, and it stays with that step eternally. We intentionally referred to as it notes and never feedback to maintain it clear from YAML feedback, that are a unique factor fully.
Notes journey with the automation while you duplicate, export, or share it as a blueprintA blueprint is a script, automation, or template entity configuration with sure elements marked as configurable. This lets you create a number of scripts, automations, or template entities primarily based on the identical blueprint, with every having its personal configuration-specific settings. Blueprints are shared by the group on the blueprints alternate within the discussion board. [Learn more], so the reasoning behind a setup is now not one thing solely the unique creator remembers.
Tile card options
The tile card retains rising into probably the most succesful constructing blocks in your dashboards. This launch provides two brand-new card options for climate entities and a beneficiant spherical of additives to the media participant tile.
Your forecast, proper the place you examine the climate
Most of us have already got a climate tile sitting someplace on a dashboard. Up till now, the second you wished to know what tomorrow appears to be like like, you needed to open the extra data dialog, soar to a unique card, or construct an entire forecast part only for that. No extra.
Two new tile card options put the forecast straight onto your present climate tile:
- Temperature forecast attracts a bar chart of excessive and low temperatures for the times forward, coloured from cool cyan to deep pink so you may learn the week at a look. Within the hourly view, it renders as a clean crammed curve.
- Precipitation forecast exhibits how a lot rain (or snow) is anticipated for every slot, or, when your climate service solely offers it, the prospect of precipitation.
Each options robotically choose the most effective forecast decision your climate service gives (each day, twice-daily, or hourly), and you’ll pin a selected decision or toggle the day and hour labels from the cardboard editor. One small change, massive distinction: your dashboard now solutions the following query earlier than you ask it.
Turning the media participant tile into an actual distant
Final launch was a giant step for the media participant tile: a correct supply picker, a sound mode picker, and playback buttons you would lastly choose and reorder. A number of you ran with it and constructed stunning, centered media controls in your dashboards, and a few of you instantly got here again with: “that is nice, however can it additionally…” 🎶
This launch fills in these final gaps. Throughout the media participant tile card options, you now have:
- A Mute button on each the Quantity slider and Quantity buttons options, so you may silence the room straight from the tile.
- Shuffle, Repeat, Quantity up, Quantity down, and Mute as additional controls you may combine into the Playback function, alongside the present transport buttons.
- A filter for the Supply and Sound mode dropdowns, so a receiver that studies two dozen inputs solely exhibits the three you really use.
The outcome: a single tile that appears like, and acts like, a distant constructed particularly for that system. No extra “virtually proper” tiles, no extra falling again to the extra data dialog for that one button you actually need. Your Music Assistant setup goes to really feel proper at residence. Thanks, @pcan08 and @MindFreeze!
Z-Wave good lock credential administration
Two releases in the past, we added credential administration for MatterMatter is an open-source customary that defines find out how to management good residence gadgets on a Wi-Fi or Thread community. [Learn more] good locks: a pleasant dialog so as to add, edit, and take away the customers (and the PIN codes that go along with them) that your lock accepts, with out ever opening the lock’s personal app. This launch, Z-Wave good locks get the identical remedy. 🔐
Open your lock from the system web page and choose Handle entry from the
There may be one small distinction with the Matter model that performs to Z-Wave’s strengths: each PIN codes and passwords are supported, the place the lock helps them. PIN codes are restricted to digits (the acquainted keypad expertise), whereas passwords settle for the total character set for locks with an alphanumeric keypad.
Identical to the Matter equal, each motion behind the dialog can also be accessible as a daily Dwelling Assistant motionActions are utilized in a number of locations in Dwelling Assistant. As a part of a script or automation, actions outline what will occur as soon as a set off is activated. In scripts, an motion is named sequence. [Learn more]. Meaning you may hand out a one-time PIN to a visitor from an automation, rotate codes on a schedule, or wipe a misplaced person with a single button press in your dashboard.
A recent search for the Apps web page
Apps (beforehand often called add-ons) are the way you lengthen the system that Dwelling Assistant runs on with additional software program, like a media server, an MQTT dealer, a VPN, or a code editor, all working proper subsequent to Dwelling Assistant on the identical system.
This launch provides the Apps web page a friendlier, extra trendy look. Each put in app is proven as its personal card with its icon, title, a brief description, and a transparent indicator of whether or not it’s working, so you may spot the state of your apps at a look.
Put in apps can now additionally carry small tags that spotlight what they’re, making it simpler to scan your checklist and discover what you might be on the lookout for. The app element web page received the identical care, with a cleaner format that additionally works effectively on a pill.

For now, that is largely about bug fixes and stability, together with the brand new built-in mDNS implementation from OpenThread, which ought to assist resolve a category of cussed Thread connectivity points that beforehand traced again to mDNS quirks in some residence routers. It additionally lays the groundwork for bringing the brand new Thread 1.4 options to Dwelling Assistant within the close to future.
- Sirens be a part of the Matter integration. Matter sirens (like Heiman-style smoke detectors that double as a loud alarm) are actually uncovered as correct siren entitiesAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or perform in Dwelling Assistant. Entities are used to watch bodily properties or to manage different entities. An entity is often a part of a tool or a service. [Learn more] you may change on and off from automations and dashboards. Thanks, @lboue! 🚨
- Bluetooth proxies are actually a lot friendlier to battery-powered gadgets. Till now, each Bluetooth scanner ran in lively mode, always polling gadgets and waking up your battery-powered Bluetooth sensors and trackers extra typically than they should. Beginning this launch, the default for each the Bluetooth integration and ESPHome Bluetooth proxies is the brand new Auto mode, which switches to lively scanning solely when an integration really wants it, and solely on one scanner at a time. The outcome: round 95–96% much less battery used for Bluetooth scanning, whereas the whole lot retains working the way in which it did. The Bluetooth UI catches up too, labeling every adapter as Auto (lively) or Auto (passive), and the system data dialog gained a Uncooked commercial area for debugging. Extra on the default change within the backward-incompatible adjustments part.
- Firmware model within the gadgets desk. The Gadgets web page will get a hidden-by-default Firmware column you may change on from the desk choices, making it simple to examine whether or not a firmware replace really landed with out altering the default format. Thanks, @markvp!
- A friendlier ZHA group web page. The ZHA group create and edit screens have been rebuilt round a compact, card-based format that retains your gadgets and group settings seen collectively, as a substitute of 1 lengthy desk you needed to scroll via. Thanks, @jpbede!
- Search by label in additional locations. The info tables for helpersA helper is a digital entity you create inside Dwelling Assistant. It’s not backed by a bodily system. Helpers retailer values, monitor state, or do calculations that your automations and dashboards want. [Learn more], automations, scenes, and scripts now allow you to filter by labelLabels in Dwelling Assistant permit grouping parts regardless of their bodily location or sort. Labels might be assigned to areas, gadgets, entities, automations, scenes, scripts, and helpers. Labels can be utilized in automations and scripts as a goal for actions. Labels may also be used to filter information. [Learn more], matching the search bar that gadgets and entities already had. Thanks, @ildar170975!
- The backup encryption key’s more durable to overlook.

Neither is true. Every part that used to stay behind it’s now merely accessible to everybody by default. Extra background within the Open Dwelling Basis roadmap.
A clearer view of your own home’s power
Two quality-of-life upgrades land within the power dashboard this launch. ⚡
In case you have a house battery, now you can hook up its state-of-charge sensor (the proportion one) proper from Settings > Dashboards > Vitality. As soon as it’s set, the Battery node on the power distribution card exhibits the present cost degree alongside the power flowing out and in, and an identical battery badge seems on the high of the power panel so you may see at a look how full your battery is, with out leaving the dashboard. Thanks, @MindFreeze!
The opposite addition is small however long-requested: now you can give your grid, photo voltaic, battery, fuel, and water sources a customized title within the power configuration. So as a substitute of “Grid consumption” and “Grid return”, you may name them “Foremost meter” and “Photo voltaic export”, or no matter is sensible on your residence. The names stream via to the playing cards, charts, and statistics, making multi-source setups (like a separate EV meter or a second water faucet) far simpler to inform aside. Thanks, @karwosts!
Fast hyperlinks between the whole lot you care about
Dwelling Assistant is filled with issues which are associated to one another: a tool has entities, these entities present up in automations and scripts, automations stay in areas, areas have labels, and so forth. Getting from one to the following used to imply numerous back-and-forth between settings pages.
This launch threads a beneficiant set of fast hyperlinks via these views so you may soar straight to the associated factor, or create a brand new one with out shedding your house:
- System pages now bundle associated automations, scriptsScripts are elements that will let you specify a sequence of actions to be executed by Dwelling Assistant when turned on. [Learn more], and scenesScenes seize the states you need sure entities to be. For instance, a scene can specify that gentle A needs to be turned on and light-weight B needs to be brilliant pink. [Learn more] right into a single Associated card (as a substitute of three separate ones), and the present fast hyperlinks part positive aspects shortcuts to all the opposite locations that reference the system.
- Space pages received the identical remedy, with fast hyperlinks into the tables and dashboards that already filter by that space in a single step.
- From an entity, system, or space, now you can create a brand new automation or script with that concentrate on already wired right into a set off, situation, or motion, no copy-pasting entity IDs required. (This piece rides on high of the purpose-specific triggers and circumstances Labs preview, so allow it at Settings > System > Labs to see the choice.)
- Label navigation actions now embrace scenes and scripts alongside automations, so a label like “morning routine” surfaces the whole lot tagged with it, not only a subset.
Individually these are small. Collectively they make Dwelling Assistant really feel much more related than it already was, with fewer detours between the pages. Thanks, @timmo001!
YAML linting contained in the UI editors
A small quality-of-life enchancment that ought to not go unnoticed. You don’t must know or use YAML to make use of Dwelling Assistant, however when you prefer it, or need to dive into extra particular use circumstances, we provide the energy to take action.
The YAML code editors all through the UI now present inline linting: lacking colons, unmatched quotes, and sure, that one house too many or too few in your indentation (we all know, we all know 😅), are all highlighted as you sort, proper subsequent to the road that causes them. No extra saving, hitting an obscure error, and scrolling again to search out the trigger.

IronOS
The uptime sensor for IronOS soldering irons has modified from a length sensor (reporting seconds) to a timestamp sensor that studies when the system was began.
Replace any automations or dashboards that learn this sensor to work with the brand new timestamp format.
ONVIF
Whenever you name the onvif.ptz motion with continuous_duration: 0, the combination now not sends a Cease command after the ContinuousMove. This allows you to begin a steady motion and cease it later with a separate name.
In case your automations depend on the digital camera stopping robotically, set continuous_duration to the specified length in seconds.
