Speaking concerning the WTH month, it ended. Properly, form of, at the very least. It’s now closed

Tile card

This release introduces a new Dashboard card: the “Tile”!

The tile card is a lovely little card that provides a quick overview of an
entity. The icon can be tapped to toggle the entity, and the rest of the card
brings up the “more info” dialog.

This first iteration of the Tile card is one of the first cards added this
release, that brings in a new style of card into Home Assistant.

Statistic card

Extra playing cards! We have already got the Statistics Graph card,
which can be used to display graphs of long-term statistics of an entity.
This release brings the “Statistic” card!

The “Statistic” card, as the name implies, can show a single value of an entity,
based on the long-term statistics stored of that entity.

For example, want to display the average temperature of your living room this
week on your dashboard? The average power usage of your home today? The peak
power production of your solar panels today?

Yes, all of the above, this card can do!

Smarter reloading of automation & scripts

WTH do all automations get reloaded when you change any of them?

Good query! And that WTH subject obtained over 180+ votes as properly!

While you change a single automation or script by way of the editors within the consumer
interface (or reload your YAML-based ones), all of them get reloaded. This
means if they’re operating, ready for one thing (a delay, an occasion, or for an
entity to be in a sure state for X time), they’d all be reset.

This launch adjustments this habits, resolving that WTH! Solely automations that
are literally modified are reloaded. All others will stay operating and untouched.

This works when modifying an automation within the UI, and even when reloading your
YAML-based automations in any break up YAML setup you might need.

Oh, as an added bonus: We utilized the very same for scripts too!

Getting insights into water usage

Since Home Assistant added energy management, tracking the usage of water🚰
has been requested quite a bit. It was
raised again during this month of WTH,
and with over 370 votes, it’s clearly wished loads.

This launch provides the power to observe your water utilization within the power dashboard!

Though water is just not strictly “power”, it’s nonetheless a valuable resource
to trace. It’s typically tightly coupled with power utilization (like fuel) when utilizing
scorching water, and the gained perception may also help you scale back your ecological footprint
by utilizing much less water 🌎.

The energy dashboard now includes your water usage

Some integrations, like Flo, Flume, and
HomeWizard Vitality, have been adjusted to assist
monitoring water. Moreover, you’ll be able to create your individual utilizing templates, MQTT,
or ESPHome (requires ESPHome version 2022.10.1 or newer).

Take a look at the documentation for the {hardware} choices
accessible to trace your water utilization or easy methods to construct your individual water utilization
sensors.

Color temperatures in Kelvin

Another WTH topic
that was voted for nearly 150 instances! Why doesn’t House Assistant use Kelvin
for colour temperatures?

Properly, a small piece of historical past: The House Assistant story began utilizing Philips
Hue a protracted, very long time in the past. And Hue makes use of mired for its colour temperature,
not Kelvin.

However right now, Kelvin is way more generally used. It’s even on packages of the
bulbs you purchase. So, as of right now, House Assistant makes use of Kelvin too!

Screenshot showing the UI now uses the Kelvin unit to set the color temperature

Kelvin is now the first colour temperature unit. This implies all lights
and every part colour temperature associated proven within the consumer interface,
are actually in Kelvin.

We nonetheless do assist the nice outdated mired. Mireds are nonetheless working and
routinely transformed when wanted, so this isn’t a breaking change 🎉

Moreover, integrations can now optionally use Kelvin instantly if the
gadget or service accepts that. HomeKit, Shelly,
AVM FRITZ!SmartHome, and LIFX are all now utilizing Kelvin natively.

Long-term statistics in the entity dialogs

The “more info” dialogs of entities now use long-term statistics for
the graphs shown. It makes those dialogs a lot faster, especially on
mobile devices.

Screenshot showing you can now set the day of the week from your user profile page

The first day of the week

The start of the week can differ for many of us. Your week will start on
Saturday, Sunday, or Monday based on where you are, your locale, or maybe
personal preference. As pointed out in
this WTH topic.

House Assistant will attempt to auto-detect the right day to start out the week
based mostly on info offered by your browser. Nonetheless, if it can not detect it,
or in case you have got a private desire, now you can set it in your consumer profile.

Now you can set the day to start out the week at in your user profile.

Setting it implies that all date inputs, date vary pickers, schedules, calendars,
and even time circumstances in automations, will take this into consideration when
displaying weeks.

New templating features

We also have some great new advanced features added to templating this release!

Originating from this WTH topic:
Now you can use the state_attr() and states() features as a filter,
and the is_state() and is_state_attr() features can now be used as exams.

The common() operate now accepts a default worth, which will be useful
if no common will be calculated.

Lastly, the config_entry_id() template technique has been added, which permits
you to lookup native IDs of integration configuration entries utilizing one
of the entities it gives.

capabilities basically, try the documentation.
