Dwelling Assistant Core 2022.11! 🎉
This November already feels so much like Christmas 🎄, what a heck of a
launch! Fairly a couple of options from the Month of “What the Heck?!”
already landed! Able to unpack the presents? 🎁
Speaking in regards to the WTH month, it ended. Nicely, type of, at the least. It’s now closed
for brand spanking new matters/options, however existing ones
stay open for dialogue and might be voted on. I’m curious to see extra of
these WTHs being resolved within the upcoming releases.
This launch has a lot goodness that I’ve a tough time choosing a favourite.
Water utilization, possibly? I’m actually unsure, so I’m going to chop this intro brief.
Let me know your favourite within the feedback under!
Benefit from the launch!

PS: There might be no launch social gathering stay stream this month,
as a substitute join us on the
State of the Open Home on
Sunday, November 13, 2022 (11:00 AM PST / 20:00 CET).
Tile card
This release introduces a new Dashboard card: the “Tile”!
The tile card is a lovely little card that provides a quick overview of an
entity. The icon can be tapped to toggle the entity, and the rest of the card
brings up the “more info” dialog.
Read more about the Tile card in the documentation.
This first iteration of the Tile card is one of the first cards added this
release, that brings in a new style of card into Home Assistant.
Curious to find out what else will be coming? Join us for the State
of the Open Home live stream. Go to YouTube and click the bell 🔔
so that you get notified once we go stay!
Statistic card
Extra playing cards! We have already got the Statistics Graph card,
which can be used to display graphs of long-term statistics of an entity.
This release brings the “Statistic” card!
The “Statistic” card, as the name implies, can show a single value of an entity,
based on the long-term statistics stored of that entity.
For example, want to display the average temperature of your living room this
week on your dashboard? The average power usage of your home today? The peak
power production of your solar panels today?
Yes, all of the above, this card can do!
Read more about the Statistic card in the documentation.
Smarter reloading of automation & scripts
WTH do all automations get reloaded when you change any of them?
Good query! And that WTH subject bought over 180+ votes as nicely!
Once you change a single automation or script by way of the editors within the consumer
interface (or reload your YAML-based ones), all of them get reloaded. This
means if they’re operating, ready for one thing (a delay, an occasion, or for an
entity to be in a sure state for X time), they’d all be reset.
This launch modifications this habits, resolving that WTH! Solely automations that
are literally modified are reloaded. All others will stay operating and untouched.
This works when enhancing an automation within the UI, and even when reloading your
YAML-based automations in any cut up YAML setup you might need.
Oh, as an added bonus: We utilized the very same for scripts too!
Getting insights into water usage
Since Home Assistant added energy management, tracking the usage of water🚰
has been requested quite a bit. It was raised again during this month of WTH,
and with over 370 votes, it’s clearly needed so much.
This launch provides the flexibility to watch your water utilization within the vitality dashboard!
Though water isn’t strictly “vitality”, it’s nonetheless a valuable resource
to trace. It’s usually tightly coupled with vitality utilization (like gasoline) when utilizing
sizzling water, and the gained perception might help you scale back your ecological footprint
by utilizing much less water 🌎.
Some integrations, like Flo, Flume, and
HomeWizard Vitality, have been adjusted to assist
monitoring water. Moreover, you may create your individual utilizing templates, MQTT,
or ESPHome (requires ESPHome version 2022.10.1 or newer).
Try the documentation for the {hardware} choices
accessible to trace your water utilization or easy methods to construct your individual water utilization
sensors.
Color temperatures in Kelvin
Another WTH topic
that was voted for nearly 150 instances! Why doesn’t Dwelling Assistant use Kelvin
for coloration temperatures?
Nicely, a small piece of historical past: The Dwelling Assistant story began utilizing Philips
Hue an extended, very long time in the past. And Hue makes use of mired for its coloration temperature,
not Kelvin.
However at the moment, Kelvin is way more generally used. It’s even on packages of the
bulbs you purchase. So, as of at the moment, Dwelling Assistant makes use of Kelvin too!
Kelvin is now the first coloration temperature unit. This implies all lights
and the whole lot coloration temperature associated proven within the consumer interface,
are actually in Kelvin.
We nonetheless do assist the nice previous mired. Mireds are nonetheless working and
robotically transformed when wanted, so this isn’t a breaking change 🎉
Moreover, integrations can now optionally use Kelvin immediately if the
machine or service accepts that. HomeKit, Shelly,
AVM FRITZ!SmartHome, and LIFX are all now utilizing Kelvin natively.
Long-term statistics in the entity dialogs
The “more info” dialogs of entities now use long-term statistics for
the graphs shown. It makes those dialogs a lot faster, especially on
mobile devices.
The first day of the week
The start of the week can differ for many of us. Your week will start on
Saturday, Sunday, or Monday based on where you are, your locale, or maybe
personal preference. As pointed out in
this WTH topic.
Dwelling Assistant will attempt to auto-detect the proper day to begin the week
based mostly on data supplied by your browser. Nonetheless, if it can not detect it,
or in case you’ve got a private desire, now you can set it in your consumer profile.
Now you can set the day to begin the week at in your user profile.
Setting it implies that all date inputs, date vary pickers, schedules, calendars,
and even time circumstances in automations, will take this under consideration when
displaying weeks.
New templating features
We also have some great new advanced features added to templating this release!
Originating from this WTH topic:
Now you can use the state_attr() and states() features as a filter,
and the is_state() and is_state_attr() features can now be used as assessments.
The common() operate now accepts a default worth, which might be useful
if no common might be calculated.
Lastly, the config_entry_id() template technique has been added, which permits
you to lookup native IDs of integration configuration entries utilizing one
of the entities it supplies.
For extra data on these new options and the Dwelling Assistant templating
capabilities basically, try the documentation.

Below is a listing of the breaking change for this release, per subject or
integration. Click on one of those to read more about the breaking change
for that specific item.
Multiple integrations provide sensors with the revolutions per minute unit.
Two units have been used throughout Home Assistant to indicate this:
RPM and rpm.
This release standardizes all integrations to use the lowercase rpm variant.
The following integrations have been adjusted:
Home Assistant automatically handles this change of units. However, if you
record history externally (for example, using InfluxDB), you might need to
adjust to this change.
The beforehand deprecated YAML configuration of the Android IP Webcam
integration has been eliminated.
Android IP Webcam is now configured by way of the UI, any current YAML
configuration has been imported in earlier releases and may now be safely
eliminated out of your YAML configuration information.
The beforehand deprecated YAML configuration of the Anthem A/V Receivers
integration has been eliminated.

(@gjohansson-ST – #79931) (documentation)
The UPS Final Self Take a look at sensor is renamed to UPS Self Take a look at End result and
a brand new UPS Final Self Take a look at sensor stories time as a substitute of the consequence.
Chances are you’ll want to switch sensor.ups_last_self_test with
sensor.ups_self_test_result in automations and scripts
referencing the sensor.ups_last_self_test entity.
(@definitio – #80773) (documentation)
The counter and remaining pages attributes of the sensors
drum remaining life, black drum remaining life, cyan drum remaining life,
magenta drum remaining life, and yellow drum remaining life have been
migrated to their very own devoted sensor entities.
If you’re utilizing these attributes in your automation or script, you’ll need
to undertake these for this transformation.
- The
callerchoice fromClickSend TTSnotify service has been eliminated, as
it prevented calls from being really made. - The default identify has been modified to
clicksend_ttsas a substitute of an empty identify; in any other case
the service would seem asnotify.notify. Now it would, by default, seem
asnotify.clicksend_tts. This may affect your automation or script. - The recipient’s cellphone quantity now should match E.164 format.

The beforehand deprecated YAML configuration of the Coinbase
integration has been eliminated.
Coinbase is now configured by way of the UI, any current YAML
configuration has been imported in earlier releases and may now be safely
eliminated out of your YAML configuration information.
Organising the notify platform of the ecobee integration by a platform part
utilizing YAML configuration is now not supported. The ecobee platform part
beneath notify: might be safely eliminated out of your YAML configuration information.
The thermostat index might be specified by utilizing the goal parameter within the
notify service name as a substitute.
HomeKit occasion ID assignments are actually secure between restarts to conform
with the HomeKit specs. This prevents equipment from dropping
observe of providers between restarts, and improves stability with utilizing
Siri particularly with apple watches.
This transformation might dramatically enhance the soundness and re-sync instances of
media_player entities (all), digicam entities (all), fan entities (presets),
distant entities (exercise ones), change entities (energy strips)
triggers (all) between restarts which was particularly
obvious when the house has many equipment.
As a result of the assignments had been beforehand unstable, it might be essential to make
a one-time adjustment of accent room assignments, favorites,
or re-pair digicam equipment after upgrading.
As older variations didn’t appropriately set service identifier values, it might be
essential to unpair and re-pair some BLE gadgets or to delete duplicate
entities manually.
If the service identifiers had been loaded incorrectly when the machine was paired
with an older model, operations may elevate StopIteration or RuntimeError
errors. You may right these by deleting the mixing for that machine,
and doing a one-time re-pairing.
The backing unit and the API
of the machine itself makes use of 0-4 as a flame peak setting. Via dialogue
on the boards the neighborhood has determined 1-5 is a way more logical setting
for flame peak, and accordingly, this has been applied.
In the event you set the flame peak utilizing automations or scripts, you’ll need to
adapt these to this transformation.
