Versie 2026.11.0 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:
2026.11: A lot in store!This is the biggest release we’ve ever shipped, by far. It’s ridiculously large. A huge shout-out to everyone who helped make it happen, thank you! For years, HACS, the Home Assistant Community Store, has been the place to find custom integrations, dashboard cards, and themes made by the community. Starting with this release, it’s built right into Home Assistant as the new Marketplace. I’ve been working on bringing it over myself, and my goal was simple: if you use HACS today, it should feel like only the name changed. Everything you installed stays installed and keeps getting updates. And if you never tried HACS because installing it felt like a hurdle, that hurdle is gone: it’s simply there, under Settings, on every installation type.
None of this would exist without @ludeeus, who started HACS and donated it to the Open Home Foundation, and all the maintainers and developers who built that ecosystem over the years. And this is just the first version of what a marketplace for Home Assistant could become.
You know by now I’m an automation person, so I’m also very happy you can finally exclude items from a target. Turn on all the lights downstairs, except the one in the kitchen? Done. And it stays smart: add another light to the kitchen next month, and it’s left out too.
Then there’s naming. More than four years in the making, entity naming got a complete rethink: you name a thing once, and Home Assistant adds the context where it helps. Fair warning: this is a backward-incompatible change, and some names on your dashboards will look different after updating. The full story is in its own blog post.
There’s more: Matter cameras you can talk back through, LoRaWAN support, sections that fill themselves, backups on local drives, a bunch of new ways to find out why something happened, and 38 new integrations!
Two more things before you dive in. November is the Month of “What the Heck?!” again, and this year it’s about everyone who lives in your home, including the people who didn’t set it up. Does your partner, kid, or housemate get annoyed by something in Home Assistant? Have them share it on the forum! You can read all about it in the announcement.
And this Saturday, November 7, is Community Day! There are 97 meetups around the world, in more than 30 countries, so there’s a good chance there’s one near you. This is your last chance to sign up. I’ll be at the meetup in Enschede myself, and I hope to see some of you there.
Enjoy the release!
