A link chooses the appropriate issue tracker and fills in the error and software version.

People reporting a Home Assistant problem gain a direct route from an error’s log details to a prepared bug report. The link opens the appropriate tracker for Core or the interface and fills in the selected log, the Core version and integration details where available.
Open Home Foundation
Several days of unconference sessions and team building bring the open-home community together.
The first attendees gathered in Lisbon ahead of the OHF Summit, taking place September 22–24. The Open Home Foundation shared this early-arrivals photo as people began to meet up.
Home Assistant
The Apple app can share different readings with different servers instead of sending every home the same set.
Home Assistant’s Apple app lets people choose a separate set of phone sensors for each connected home. Enabling a sensor was previously a device-wide choice, so every server receiving sensors got the same selection.
Home Assistant
Plain-HTTP connections bypass an extra WebKit security mode by default, with a setting to restore it.
Home Assistant’s Apple app changes a browser security setting to tackle severe dashboard lag on iOS 27. Bruno Pantaleão Gonçalves reports that WebKit puts unencrypted HTTP pages in an enhanced-security process even on a private home network, while the same dashboard over HTTPS avoids that behavior.
Music Assistant
Albums could fail during playback and synchronization, or appear with no playable tracks.
Reviewed by OzGav
Music Assistant repairs a YouTube Music album lookup that could fail whenever someone tried to play or synchronize an affected album. It also restores track information missing from anonymous album requests, which could leave an album with no playable tracks.
Home Assistant
Relaying requests fixes local controls on networks that cannot route their public address back into the home.
Home Assistant restores Apple Watch controls on home networks where the public server address cannot be reached from inside. The watch previously always chose the remote address, even when its traffic passed through an iPhone connected to the home Wi-Fi.
Music Assistant
Loudness information supplied by Tidal lets volume normalization work from the start.
Reviewed by jozefKruszynski
Music Assistant uses loudness information supplied by Tidal to even out differences in track volume without first scanning the audio. Tidal listeners benefit from the service’s existing measurements instead of waiting for Music Assistant to measure each track itself.
Home Assistant
An action aimed at a labeled power strip also reaches its child outlets.
