Home Assistant
A Supervisor fix restores the recovery path when damaged container metadata leaves Home Assistant or an app unable to start.
Reviewed by mdegat01
An unclean shutdown can leave Home Assistant or one of its apps unable to start because the record describing its container is damaged. The Supervisor recognizes a specific form of this failure and removes the broken record so it can recreate the container, instead of failing on every startup attempt.
Home Assistant
The iOS app can hide its settings button and command confirmations while keeping a way back into settings.
Wall-mounted Home Assistant displays gain two ways to keep their dashboard uncluttered. The iOS app's kiosk settings can make the settings-entry button invisible and suppress the small confirmation messages shown after remote commands run.
ESPHome
A pre-flashed sensor board pairs with a 3D-printed wind instrument and an open configuration for home weather readings.

People building their own weather station have a new reference in ESPHome's device directory: WindNerd Node, a sensor board designed for an open-source, 3D-printed instrument that measures wind speed and direction.
Music Assistant
A queue correction prevents speakers from falling silent, while a separate fix unblocks radio startup on older S1 models.
Reviewed by marcelveldt, MarvinSchenkel
Sonos speakers can read several tracks ahead of what is playing. Music Assistant was refusing valid requests once a speaker got too far ahead of its own playback position, eventually bringing an album to a stop. The queue now measures those requests against the audio actually sent to the speaker.
Home Assistant
Forms check device status, settings and values, extending this week's visual triggers to the conditions that follow them.
Reviewed by MartinHjelmare, c0ffeeca7
Home Assistant's automation editor gains forms for checking a Z-Wave device's status, configuration settings and reported values before an automation continues. The conditions can test whether any or all selected devices match, using named states instead of requiring their underlying numbers.
Sendspin
The protocol returns spoken setup codes to a speaker's own voice instead of accepting recordings from an unauthenticated server.
Reviewed by maximmaxim345, kahrendt
A speaker announcing a Sendspin pairing code should not have to play audio chosen by a stranger. The protocol removes a mechanism that let a server supply recordings of the ten digits before the two devices had established trust. Speaking clients instead use their own bundled voice, selecting its language using the server's language hint.
Matter.js
An unusual command limit could send the controller into an endless loop that exhausted its memory.
A single command to a Matter device could crash a controller built with Matter.js if the device reported that it accepted zero commands at a time. The protocol defines that value as meaning one, but the library treated it literally and kept creating empty batches until it ran out of memory.
Home Assistant
Valve run times can use an integration's own control, alongside new choices for how valves appear in HomeKit.
