Versie 2026.4.0 van Home Assistant is uitgebracht. Home Assistant is een opensourceplatform voor domotica en is bedoeld om slimme apparaten in de gaten te houden en aan te sturen. Denk daarbij aan verlichting, schakelaars, sloten, camera's, audiovisuele apparatuur, witgoed, en sensoren voor aanwezigheid, temperatuur, vochtigheid, en zo meer. Voor meer informatie over Home Assistant verwijzen we naar deze pagina en ons eigen forum. De volledige releasenotes voor deze uitgave zijn hier te vinden. Dit is de aankondiging daaruit:
2026.4: Infrared never left the chatI’ll be honest: when I first heard the pitch for infrared support in Home Assistant, I wasn’t exactly jumping out of my chair. Infrared? That’s old tech! But that’s exactly the point. Think about how many TVs, air conditioners, and other appliances sitting in your home right now have an infrared receiver but no smart features whatsoever. With this release, all of those devices can get a smart future, showing up as actual, controllable devices in Home Assistant. Turns out, old tech can learn some very new tricks.
Our purpose-specific automation triggers and conditions are back with a whole metric ton of new triggers and conditions! This effort, currently available through Home Assistant Labs, is now almost feature complete. If you haven’t tried it yet, please give it a shot; I’m really looking forward to your feedback.
There’s also plenty of fun stuff: background colors for dashboard sections, favorites on your dashboard cards, full Matter lock management with PIN codes, and you can now see what your AI-powered Assist is thinking while it processes your requests. Plus 14 new integrations!
Oh! And don’t forget: State of the Open Home 2026 is happening on April 8 in Utrecht, the Netherlands! Come celebrate everything we’ve built together in person. Tickets are limited, so grab yours while you can!
Enjoy the release!
