Home Assistant’s automation editor lets people choose which trigger an action depends on directly from the “Triggered by” condition. It shows the triggers themselves and creates an identifier when needed, removing the preliminary job of inventing names and matching them by hand.
Home Assistant
A room or zone gains one selector for regular and smart scenes, with the active choice kept in view.

Philips Hue households gain a way to see and change the scene active in each room or zone from Home Assistant. A new selector lists the group’s regular scenes and scheduled smart scenes together and follows the scene currently in use.
Home Assistant
Saved storage connections recover after a restore had silently skipped them.
Reviewed by sairon, balloob
A Home Assistant backup could report a successful restore while silently leaving out its network storage connections and Docker registry settings. Supervisor corrects the way it reads those settings from an encrypted backup, recovering information that was present but never applied.
Music Assistant
Its built-in source accepts remote links, leaving server files behind the administrator-controlled filesystem source.
Music Assistant closes a route that could read music or image files anywhere its server process could reach. The built-in source previously accepted a local file path where it expected a track, radio stream or image link, bypassing the administrator-only setup for local music folders.
ESPHome
Zero volume stays silent, while smoother software volume changes remove audible clicks.
Reviewed by bdraco, kahrendt
ESPHome speakers keep their mute setting when someone adjusts the volume. Setting the level to zero stays silent, including on setups with a configured minimum volume or a separate audio converter. One failure could bring sound back when someone pressed volume-down again after reaching zero, while the player still reported that it was muted.
Music Assistant
Library synchronization removes dead links that could keep upgraded albums from playing.
Reviewed by marcelveldt
Replacing music files with better copies in Plex could leave Music Assistant trying to play the deleted originals. Library synchronization removes those stale links when the source reports its current collection, so a metadata match no longer leaves a dead copy competing with its replacement.
OHF Voice
Its language matcher accepts joined articles and stops stray transcript punctuation blocking commands.
