This update delivers crucial bug fixes for a smoother smart home experience. Philips Hue MotionAware sensors now properly detect motion once again, and any leftover broken switch entities from old Hue automations are automatically removed. The feedreader integration correctly fires events even when your feeds aren’t sorted, and media players will now give you a clear notification when a search returns no results instead of leaving you in the dark.
Several integrations benefit from library upgrades that bring compatibility improvements and minor tweaks. These include HomeWizard Energy, Anova WiFi cookers, Intelliclima climate control, Eheim digital aquarium devices, Reolink cameras, KNX building automation, and the ESPHome Dashboard API.
Under the hood, this release tackles a widespread race condition that could cause device relationships (via_device) to fail intermittently. The fix covers over twenty integrations, such as Hue, Matter, Reolink, Synology DSM, and Google Health, making device linking rock-solid. Many integrations have also been migrated to use modern device registry APIs—like Shelly, Trane, and Xiaomi Miio—while MQTT, Z-Wave JS, Sonos, and others now use more efficient device lookup and cleanup methods. These backend refinements boost reliability, especially in complex setups with multiple hubs and services.
