Home Assistant spring cleaning! 🧹 New ways to get your automations (and more) organized

By far, the most requested feature in Home Assistant history would be:

“Grouping Automations on frontend for organization”.

We hear you! Today, in this release, we are going to give you tools to organize your Home Assistant setup, and we took it a few (well, many) steps further than just grouping automationsHome Assistant 中的自动化允许您自动响应在家中和周围发生的事情。 [Learn more]!

We are introducing 3 (yes, you’ve read it correctly. It’s three) organization taxonomies, and we revamped our entire table user interface plus a few goodies along the way.

Upgraded tables!

Adding more ways to organize your Home Assistant is great! But being able to easily view, filter, and navigate information is just as important. To achieve this, we have re-designed ALL the tables in Home Assistant.

For an admin interface, tables are essential for visualizing and managing large datasets. Home Assistant has many tables in its settings pages. Previously, our UI provided the ability to search, sort, and filter for a few aspects, but it was relatively barebones.

Today, we are rolling out a revamped table UI that will be standardized across all tables in the settings pages with new and improved features.

A new toolbar

As we add more features to the tables, we need to keep the UI clean and its features easy to find. Therefore, we added descriptive text to the dropdown menus and standardized the look and feel of the toolbar buttons and text boxes. Shiny!

Screenshots showing the new toolbar that is now on every table in Home Assistant. The new toolbar that is now on every table in Home Assistant.

Filter panel

Previously, our automations page allowed you to filter by areas在 Home Assistant 中，区域是设备和实体的逻辑分组，旨在匹配物理世界中的区域（或房间）：您的家。例如，客厅区域将分组您客厅中的设备和实体。, entities实体表示 Home Assistant 中的传感器、执行器或功能。实体用于监控物理属性或控制其他实体。实体通常是设备或服务的一部分。 [Learn more], or devices设备是表示包含实体的物理或逻辑单元的模型。, but only one at a time, and the filters were tucked away in a dropdown menu, which meant you needed to select a dropdown menu inside a dropdown menu to filter by area.

A new filter panel fixes these issues by providing a new dual pane user interface that can let you check multiple filters across multiple filter types on the left that stay put and view the filtered results on the right.

Screenshots showing the filter panel that tables can have, allowing you to easily find what you are looking for.

We also introduced multiple new filter types for each table. For example, automationsHome Assistant 中的自动化允许您自动响应在家中和周围发生的事情。 [Learn more] can now be filtered not only by areas在 Home Assistant 中，区域是设备和实体的逻辑分组，旨在匹配物理世界中的区域（或房间）：您的家。例如，客厅区域将分组您客厅中的设备和实体。, entities实体表示 Home Assistant 中的传感器、执行器或功能。实体用于监控物理属性或控制其他实体。实体通常是设备或服务的一部分。 [Learn more] , or devices设备是表示包含实体的物理或逻辑单元的模型。, but also by used blueprints蓝图是一个脚本、自动化或模板实体配置，其中某些部分标记为可配置。这允许用户基于相同的蓝图创建多个脚本、自动化或模板实体，每个都有自己的配置特定设置。 [Learn more], labels, and categories (more on these later!).

We didn’t stop at just that page! The devices and entities pages now also have a way to filter not only by state but also by integrations and areas. Almost all tables now have useful new filters to help you find what you are looking for.

Item grouping

Browsing a list of hundreds of automationsHome Assistant 中的自动化允许您自动响应在家中和周围发生的事情。 [Learn more] or thousands of entities实体表示 Home Assistant 中的传感器、执行器或功能。实体用于监控物理属性或控制其他实体。实体通常是设备或服务的一部分。 [Learn more] can be overwhelming. While filters can help narrow the list, visually grouping the items into smaller chunks makes browsing easier.

With the item grouping feature, we introduced a new dropdown menu to pick how you’d like the items on the table to be grouped. On the automations page, you can group automations by their state状态保存实体的感兴趣信息，例如灯是开还是关。每个实体只有一个状态，并且状态一次只保存一个值。但是，实体可以存储与该状态相关的属性，例如亮度、颜色或测量单位。 [Learn more] - whether enabled or not - and custom categories (more on that later!). On the devices设备是表示包含实体的物理或逻辑单元的模型。 page, you can even group them by manufacturers, areas在 Home Assistant 中，区域是设备和实体的逻辑分组，旨在匹配物理世界中的区域（或房间）：您的家。例如，客厅区域将分组您客厅中的设备和实体。, or integrations集成将 Home Assistant 与您的设备、服务等连接和集成。 [Learn more], which is really cool because it makes the page much easier to browse. It gives you a new perspective on organizing your vast network of devices.

Screenshots showing the devices page, grouped by manufacturer.

Selection mode and batch actions

We removed the clutter of displaying a column of checkboxes by introducing a new selection mode. When it is toggled on, checkboxes will appear, and you can apply actions to all your selections with one click on the toolbar.

Screenshots point out the enable selection mode button in the toolbar of the tables in Home Assistant. This button enables selection mode in the new tables.

It allows you to, for example, enable or disable multiple selected entities实体表示 Home Assistant 中的传感器、执行器或功能。实体用于监控物理属性或控制其他实体。实体通常是设备或服务的一部分。 [Learn more] on the entities page at once. This new paradigm will allow us to introduce more batch management actions in the future.

Screenshots showing selection mode active in a table, with some items selected, highlighting the bulk actions you can perform on those selected items.

Three new ways to organize

Upon reading through and ideating on the feature request thread on “Automation Grouping”, we realized that organization can be done in multiple ways for different purposes.

We learned that users who are proficient in making automationsHome Assistant 中的自动化允许您自动响应在家中和周围发生的事情。 [Learn more] have hundreds of them, which makes locating a particular automation hard. They often had to resort to using “hacks” such as emojis, bracketed “tags”, or numbering each automation to get the sort order they wanted. They needed a way to easily filter down and break down the giant list into more manageable chunks.

We also noticed that users are stretching our areas feature beyond its intended purpose. For example, some users would create “areas在 Home Assistant 中，区域是设备和实体的逻辑分组，旨在匹配物理世界中的区域（或房间）：您的家。例如，客厅区域将分组您客厅中的设备和实体。” such as “3D printer”, “Christmas decorations”, or even “Left side of my office desk”, to group different devices设备是表示包含实体的物理或逻辑单元的模型。 and entities实体表示 Home Assistant 中的传感器、执行器或功能。实体用于监控物理属性或控制其他实体。实体通常是设备或服务的一部分。 [Learn more] together under one umbrella for dashboards or automationsHome Assistant 中的自动化允许您自动响应在家中和周围发生的事情。 [Learn more].

As we are developing our new dashboards and voice commands, this poses a big problem: We would be unable to provide specialized solutions if a dashboard blueprint蓝图是一个脚本、自动化或模板实体配置，其中某些部分标记为可配置。这允许用户基于相同的蓝图创建多个脚本、自动化或模板实体，每个都有自己的配置特定设置。 [Learn more] or automation blueprint cannot confidently assume the context of how it would be used. We need something more specialized.

Therefore, to balance the basic goal of providing a more digestible UI for all users, the need for flexibility for our power users, and the future vision of Home Assistant, we are introducing 3 new organization structures to Home Assistant:

Floors, Labels, and Categories

Floors: Help Home Assistant understand your house

Let’s talk about the new organizational structures, starting with floors.

To become a truly intelligent home automation platform, Home Assistant needs to understand the context: Where exactly is a device设备是表示包含实体的物理或逻辑单元的模型。? How does one area在 Home Assistant 中，区域是设备和实体的逻辑分组，旨在匹配物理世界中的区域（或房间）：您的家。例如，客厅区域将分组您客厅中的设备和实体。 relate to another? What is the space used for?

Currently, Home Assistant has areas在 Home Assistant 中，区域是设备和实体的逻辑分组，旨在匹配物理世界中的区域（或房间）：您的家。例如，客厅区域将分组您客厅中的设备和实体。. Areas specify the physical location or vicinity of your devices per living space in your home (like the living room or kitchen). However, some users living in standalone houses might have multiple floors with their own areas.

FloorsHome Assistant 中的楼层是区域的逻辑分组，旨在匹配您家中的物理楼层。设备和实体未分配到楼层，而是分配到区域。楼层可用于自动化和脚本，作为动作的目标。例如，在您上床睡觉时关闭楼下楼层的所有灯。 are a new way to organize your areas per level of floors in your home. The better Home Assistant knows your home and how it is spatially structured, the better it can help you. Especially when it comes to future features like generating dashboards, voice commands, and maybe even AI-related features.

Screenshots showing areas settings page, which now also shows the areas grouped by floor.

You can use floors in your automationsHome Assistant 中的自动化允许您自动响应在家中和周围发生的事情。 [Learn more] and scripts脚本是允许用户指定 Home Assistant 打开时要执行的动作序列的组件。 [Learn more] as a target for your actions or control them with your voice. For example, you can turn off all the lights on the downstairs floor when you go to bed or ask Assist to turn on the lights upstairs.

For our power users, you can even use floors in your templates to create the most advanced and creative automations.

Labels: Tag everything any way you want

FloorsHome Assistant 中的楼层是区域的逻辑分组，旨在匹配您家中的物理楼层。设备和实体未分配到楼层，而是分配到区域。楼层可用于自动化和脚本，作为动作的目标。例如，在您上床睡觉时关闭楼下楼层的所有灯。 and areas在 Home Assistant 中，区域是设备和实体的逻辑分组，旨在匹配物理世界中的区域（或房间）：您的家。例如，客厅区域将分组您客厅中的设备和实体。 are great for representing your actual home, but as everyone has their own ways of organizing their home, everyone has their own ways of organizing their Home Assistant, too! This is where labels 🏷️ come in!

Labels is an organizational structure that is completely up to you. You can make as many labels with any naming structure, in any color 🌈 you want, and assign them to basically anything in Home Assistant. You assign labels to anything: areas在 Home Assistant 中，区域是设备和实体的逻辑分组，旨在匹配物理世界中的区域（或房间）：您的家。例如，客厅区域将分组您客厅中的设备和实体。, devices设备是表示包含实体的物理或逻辑单元的模型。, entities实体表示 Home Assistant 中的传感器、执行器或功能。实体用于监控物理属性或控制其他实体。实体通常是设备或服务的一部分。 [Learn more], automationsHome Assistant 中的自动化允许您自动响应在家中和周围发生的事情。 [Learn more], scripts脚本是允许用户指定 Home Assistant 打开时要执行的动作序列的组件。 [Learn more], helpers, you name it! You can even assign multiple labels to the same thing.

Screenshots showing the new labels assigned to automations.

Just like with floors, you can use labels in your automations and scripts as a target for your actions动作在 Home Assistant 的多个地方使用。作为脚本或自动化的一部分，动作定义了触发器被激活后将发生的事情。在脚本中，动作被称为序列。 [Learn more]. This gives you a lot of flexibility, not just in organizing your Home Assistant, but also in automating your home! 🤯

For example, you could create a label “🎄 Christmas” to label all your Christmas decorations during the holiday season. You can then use this label to automate all of those decorations at once or to filter them in the new tables.

More examples? You could create a label “🔒 Security” to label and control all your security-related devices and automations. Or, “🛌 Bedrooms” to label all your bedroom areas and simultaneously control all the devices in those areas.

Do you have solar panels or home batteries? Create a label “⚡️ Heavy energy usage” to label devices that consume a lot of energy. You could switch them off when there is not enough battery or solar energy available.

You decide how to use labels, and the possibilities are endless! And for our power users, you guessed it, you can use labels in your templates.

Categories: Make each settings page easier to browse

Last but not least, we are introducing categories. Categories are designed to be paired with the aforementioned item grouping feature, and it can be used to group things visually specific to a certain table in Home Assistant.

This is great for those who have a particular way of displaying their entities实体表示 Home Assistant 中的传感器、执行器或功能。实体用于监控物理属性或控制其他实体。实体通常是设备或服务的一部分。 [Learn more] by separating them into multiple sections on a specific page. For example, on the automationsHome Assistant 中的自动化允许您自动响应在家中和周围发生的事情。 [Learn more] page, you can create categories only used for visually grouping automations but nowhere else, like “Notifications” or “NFC tags”. You can then view your automations grouped or filtered by those categories.

Screenshots the new categories. Automations are grouped into their categories, making it easier to get an overview or to filter them.

As these categories are unique for each dashboard, you can have different sets of categories depending on the place you are organizing. This means you can have different categories on the automations page than the scene场景捕获您希望某些实体处于的状态。例如，场景可以指定灯 A 应该打开，灯 B 应该是亮红色。 [Learn more], scripts脚本是允许用户指定 Home Assistant 打开时要执行的动作序列的组件。 [Learn more], or helpers settings page.

Time to clean up your Home Assistant!

In summary, there are a total of 4 taxonomies for organizing your entities. It sounds like a lot, but they all serve a distinct purpose. We are extending and clarifying areas在 Home Assistant 中，区域是设备和实体的逻辑分组，旨在匹配物理世界中的区域（或房间）：您的家。例如，客厅区域将分组您客厅中的设备和实体。 with floorsHome Assistant 中的楼层是区域的逻辑分组，旨在匹配您家中的物理楼层。设备和实体未分配到楼层，而是分配到区域。楼层可用于自动化和脚本，作为动作的目标。例如，在您上床睡觉时关闭楼下楼层的所有灯。, and we are introducing labelsHome Assistant 中的标签允许不考虑其物理位置或类型对元素进行分组。标签可以分配给区域、设备、实体、自动化、场景、脚本和助手。标签可用于自动化和脚本，作为动作的目标。标签还可用于过滤数据。 and categories类别是一种组织工具，允许在表中对项目进行分组。像标签一样，类别允许不考虑项目的物理位置进行分组。例如，在自动化页面上，您可以创建“通知”或“NFC 标签”类别，以查看分组或过滤的自动化。类别对于每个表都是唯一的。自动化页面可以与场景、脚本或助手设置页面具有不同的类别。 to make your automationsHome Assistant 中的自动化允许您自动响应在家中和周围发生的事情。 [Learn more] and many other tables look more organized and be more manageable.

What’s next? Time to dig in! Here are a few steps we recommend you take action on to organize your Home Assistant better:

  • Migrate to labels:
    • If you have been grouping automations with emojis and bracketed text, you can now create labels for each. Labels can have icons to replace the emojis you had before.
    • For areas that aren’t really physical spaces, switching them to labels will provide you more flexibility in organizing your entities.
  • Start using categories:
    If you have a favorite way of organizing a particular page, create those categories and group the table by them. For example, you could create a notification category for all your notification automations and put all notification automations in that category.
  • Group your areas into floors:
    If you live in a multi-story home, grouping areas into floors help with organizing the areas as well as making them more compatible with future features.

Last of all, to help us to help you to perfect the design of these new features, we would love to hear your feedback and see how you use them! Please feel free to share them in the comments below and discuss them in our community.

Map dashboard

Introducing a new dashboard this release: The map! 🗺️

You might think, “Hey, we already have a map dashboard in Home Assistant!” and you are right! However, the map was an integration that was always there and didn’t provide the flexibility and features that were wanted.

With the map dashboard’s introduction, you can now add multiple map dashboards with different entities and configuration settings. For example, create a dashboard to show the location of your family members, another to track your car, and another to show the location of your pets. 🐶

Screenshots showing the new map dashboard you can add when you add a new dashboard to your Home Assistant.

On upgrade, Home Assistant will automatically migrate your existing map integration to a map dashboard.

You don’t like having the map in your sidebar? Well, that is no longer a problem. Since it is now a dashboard it means you can remove it in the dashboard settings.

Webpage dashboard

Another new dashboard for this release is the webpage! 🌐

The webpage dashboard allows you to add and embed a webpage to your dashboard. This could be a web page from the internet or a local web page from a local machine or device like your router or NAS.

Screenshots showing addition of a new webpage dashboard to Home Assistant, embedding the Home Assistant website.

This dashboard replaces the old iFrame panel (iframe_panel). If you have existing panels configured in your YAML configuration, Home Assistant will automatically migrate them to the new webpage dashboard on upgrade.

Screenshot showing the Home Assistant website embedded into the Home Assistant frontend using a webpage dashboard.

Note that not every webpage can be embedded due to security restrictions that some sites or pages have in place, enforced by your browser, that prevent embedding them into a Home Assistant dashboard.

Define the columns in the section view

In the last release, we introduced the section view with drag and drop support. We are absolutely thrilled to see how many of you loved it! 🥰

Many thanks for all the feedback and suggestions! We are prioritizing them and are working on making the section view even better in the upcoming releases.

In this release, based on your feedback, we have added the ability for you to define the maximum number of columns that the section view uses. This allows you to limit the number of columns, regardless of the screen width on which you are viewing your dashboard.

Screenshot showing the new option available to limit the number of columns the section view uses.

Adding Matter devices from other controllers

In the February release, we added support for sharing Matter devices tied to Home Assistant with other Matter controllers. This release, we are making the other way around easier.

We have improved how you can add Matter devices from other controllers to Home Assistant. When you add a Matter device to Home Assistant, it will now ask you if you want to add a new Matter device or if you want to add a device that is already added to another controller (like Google Home or Apple Home).

Screenshot showing the dialog to add a Matter device, asking if this is a new or existing matter device connected to another controller.

Suppose you choose to add a device that has already been added to another controller. In that case, Home Assistant will guide you through how to achieve this step by step.

Screenshot showing the dialog to add a existing Matter device that is connected to another Matter controller.

Lock behavior improvements

Some smart locks have an open (or unlatching) mechanism that can be triggered remotely. The door either pops out of the lock or can be opened by pushing against the door.

We want to ensure you don’t accidentally open the door when you miss-clicked the button (for example, while not at home 😬). Therefore, we have improved the behavior of locks in our user interface by requiring you to confirm the action.

Screen recording showing the confirmation in the UI when unlatching/opening a door.

Even more performance!

Remember how we wrote last release that Home Assistant now boots twice as fast? Well, @bdraco wasn’t done yet and teamed up with @balloob. If you thought the previous release was fast, you are in for a treat! 🚀 The difference is, yet again, very noticeable.

Besides streamlining what is loaded at startup (and doing less loading), we have adjusted the startup time tracking. It used to be that one integration could push other integrations to be slow too; that should no longer be the case, making this a more accurate representation of the actual startup time.

Want to learn about the individual startup times of your integrations? You can find them in the Settings -> System -> Repairs page by selecting the three-dotted menu in the top right and selecting the Integration startup time item.

Backward-incompatible changes

Python 3.11 support has been removed

Python 3.11 support has previously been deprecated and has now been removed. Home Assistant now requires Python 3.12 to run.

You don’t have to do anything if you are using the Home Assistant Operating System, Home Assistant Container, or Home Assistant Supervised installation method. In those cases, we handle all of this for you. Your system has been using Python 3.12 for quite some time already.

AEMET OpenData

The AEMET OpenData integration previously created two entities for each configured location: one provided daily weather forecasts and the other hourly forecasts.

The AEMET OpenData integration now only creates a single entity that provides both daily and hourly weather forecasts.

(@gjohansson-ST - #110764) (documentation)

Dexcom

The trend sensor now uses values that are using snake_case instead of a space in the middle:

  • rising quickly -> rising_quickly
  • rising slightly -> rising_slightly
  • falling slightly -> falling_slightly
  • falling quickly -> falling_quickly

Please update your automations and scripts accordingly.

(@joostlek - #112423) (documentation)

ecobee

The non-functional away preset mode has been replaced with the correct away_indefinitely preset mode.

If any automation or script depends on the away preset mode, it needs to be updated.

(@alexsydell - #108636) (documentation)

Environment Canada

The Environment Canada integration previously created two entities for each configured location: one provided daily weather forecasts and the other hourly forecasts.

The Environment Canada integration now only creates a single entity that provides both daily and hourly weather forecasts.

(@gjohansson-ST - #112447) (documentation)

National Weather Service (NWS)

The National Weather Service integration previously created two entities for each configured location: one provided daily weather forecasts and the other hourly forecasts.

The National Weather Service integration now only creates a single entity that provides both daily and hourly weather forecasts.

(@gjohansson-ST - #112503) (documentation)

Met Éireann

The Met Éireann integration previously created two entities for each configured location: one provided daily weather forecasts and the other hourly forecasts.

The Met Éireann integration now only creates a single entity that provides both daily and hourly weather forecasts.

(@gjohansson-ST - #112449) (documentation)

Met Office

The Met Office integration previously created two entities for each configured location: one provided daily weather forecasts and the other hourly forecasts.

The Met Office integration now only creates a single entity that provides both daily and hourly weather forecasts.

(@gjohansson-ST - #112452) (documentation)

Modbus

The Modbus integration does not allow a configuration with the device only (no entities); this will create an issue, and the entry will not be loaded.

For the special cases (like some custom_components) where it is wanted, please add a dummy entity.

(@janiversen - #113516) (documentation)

MQTT

Support for brightness is now assumed for mqtt lights with the json schema unless only color modes rgb, rgbw, or rgbww are supported.

For lights which only support color modes rgb, rgbw, or rgbww, the brightness option flag can still be set to false if brightness is not supported. In this case brightness support is emulated in Home Assistant by scaling the RGBx-values.

For all other color modes except ColorMode.ONOFF, it is assumed brightness is supported, and the brightness attribute will be included in the MQTT payload when the brightness attribute is supplied to the light.turn_on service.

(@jbouwh - #111676) (documentation)

myUplink

If you have a Nibe SMO 20 in your account, you will notice that some 550 entities are no longer provided by the integration.

You can safely remove these entities as the integration does not use them.

(@astrandb - #113493) (documentation)

Waze Travel Time

The options excl_filter and incl_filter now filter for exact matches to street names in the route. Previously, they only filtered on the short description of the route.

(@eifinger - #108613) (documentation)

Weather

The previously deprecated forecast attribute of weather entities, has now been removed. Use the weather.get_forecasts service to get the forecast data instead.
