2026.7: Automations that speak your language

Tip Don’t forget to join our release party live stream on YouTube on July 1, 2026, at 20:00 GMT / 12:00 PT / 21:00 CET! Home Assistant 2026.7! 🎉 This is one of those releases I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. My favorite by far is what we’ve done with automations. Purpose-specific triggers and conditions graduate from Labs and become the new default for everyone. 🎉 It comes down to something we’ve been chasing for years: more power, less complexity. Instead of starting from Home Assistant’s internals, which entity, which state, which kind of trigger, you start from what you actually want your home to do. When the bedroom drops below 18°C, turn on the heating. That’s it. No technical traps, no quirks to memorize. And because integrations can teach the automation engine their own triggers and conditions, it only gets better from here. All of it right there in our beautiful user interface. The nice thing is, nothing breaks. All your existing automations keep working, worry-free. We’ve also written tons of great documentation explaining every single trigger, condition, and action, with examples to learn from. And if you’re one of those people who prefers writing automations in YAML instead of the UI, you’re in for an amazing experience too. User experience is not a synonym for “the UI”. YAML users deserve good user experience too. But honestly? I’ve got a second favorite this release, and that surprised me a little. Activity, what many of you still know as the logbook, has been rebuilt into a slick and clean timeline. 😍 It reads top to bottom like a feed, groups entries by day, and finally speaks the same language as the rest of Home Assistant. I keep opening it just to look at it. And that’s just the start. There’s a new update-all button, dedicated panels for infrared and radio frequency, an overhauled ZHA Zigbee device management, and 10 new integrations from our community. One more thing before you dive in: the Open Home Foundation is exhibiting at IFA Berlin for the first time, from September 4 to 8, 2026. We’d love to meet you there, so come say hello. There’s also a community meetup on Sunday, September 6, and everyone’s welcome. You can read all about it here. Enjoy the release! ../Frenck Creating automations just became easier, natural and more powerful Start with what you want, not how it works Built around areas, not one device or entity at a time More than friendlier wording No technical traps Your automations are safe, and YAML isn’t going anywhere Documentation is part of the feature Activity logbook Update all Integrations New integrations Noteworthy improvements to existing integrations Integration quality scale achievements Now available to set up from the UI Farewell to the following Other noteworthy changes Time format selection Dedicated panels for infrared and radio frequency The ZHA Zigbee device management got an overhaul Keeping your Raspberry Pi firmware up to date Patch releases 2026.7.1 - July 3 2026.7.2 - July 10 2026.7.3 - July 21 2026.7.4 - July 24 Need help?

And a special shout-out to @piitaya, @sairon, and @agners who helped write the release notes this release. Thanks to them, these release notes are in great shape. ❤️ Creating automations just became easier, natural and more powerful This is, hands down, one of the biggest and best changes we’ve made to the automation editor in years. It has been roughly eight months in the making, built and refined release after release by a lot of people, and shaped by a mountain of your feedback along the way. As of this release, it is here for everyone, and we could not be more excited to finally hand it over. Why are we this excited? Because automations have always asked you to meet Home Assistant halfway. Some people still talk about it like you need YAML, a coding background, and a free evening just to automate a light. That hasn’t been true for a while, and this release takes the biggest step yet toward closing that gap for good. Back in Home Assistant 2025.12, we introduced purpose-specific triggers and conditions in Settings > System > Labs. Every release since has added more of them and polished the experience. This release, they graduate: this new way of building automationsAutomations in Home Assistant allow you to automatically respond to things that happen in and around your home.

It is a different starting point: you describe what you want your home to react to, rather than starting from the technical building blocks underneath. Start with what you want, not how it works An automation engine thinks in primitives. People don’t. You think “when the front door opens”, “when the last person leaves”, or “when a battery runs lo
