Previously, the group’s assumed state was always false, regardless of the state of its child entities.

This has now changed:

The group will now have an assumed state of true if at least one child entity has an assumed state.
This makes the group’s assumed state reflect the uncertainty of its children more accurately.
These domains have been added: switch, fan, light, and cover.

The mealie Integration now requires Mealie version 2 or later.

Mealie version 1 is no longer supported. Version 2 was released in October 2024, so over a year ago.
Given the differences between versions 1 and 2, we are no longer able to support or test backward compatibility with version 1.

The Nederlandse Spoorwegen entity is now displayed as a timestamp entity, rather than a string. Please adapt your automations and scripts.

The Speed parameter in the ONVIF GoToPreset action is now optional.

The default of 0.5 is no longer set. If you want to restore the previous behaviour, you have to set speed to 0.5 in your action.

The discovery of Renault functionality was previously based on assumptions that may have created invalid and non-functional entities. These will no longer be created.

The Traccar integration has been updated to use a more secure API Token for authentication.
This is a required, one-time breaking change to align with Traccar’s security recommendations and ensure the integration continues to work.

This release migrates the integration away from the older username/password method, ensuring continued stability and security for all users while also allowing users with SSO-based setups to use the integration.

When you update Home Assistant, the existing Traccar integration will need to be re-authenticated:

1. Generate an API Token on your Traccar server (you’ll find this option in your Traccar server’s user settings).
2. Go to Settings > Devices & Services > Traccar Server.
3. Click “Reconfigure” and enter your new API Token when prompted.

Once you’ve done this, your Traccar devices and entities will work exactly as they did before.

The Account tier and Gold tenure sensors have been retired, as they no longer receive updates following the transition from Xbox Live Gold to Xbox Game Pass.
Additionally, the In party and In multiplayer binary sensors have been removed, since they’ve been non-functional for quite some time.
