2024.7: Time to resize your playing cards!
Dwelling Assistant 2024.7! 🎉
Prepare for a very nice launch with one thing fascinating for everybody! 🤗
And never simply that, I convey you these launch notes from our refreshed web site 🤩
that Madelena
previous few days. We hope you prefer it! ❤️
Some improbable additions to Help: Timers!
and the power to reveal your scripts to LLMs. In case you missed it,
it has been lined and demonstrated reside in our current
Voice – Chapter 7 livestream!
which you positively ought to watch. 📺
The sections view turns into extra feature-rich with
each launch, and this time, the ability to resize cards
is added. Completely the spotlight of the discharge for me!
My second favourite spotlight for this launch is the power to
take control of blueprint-based automations.
There are such a lot of amazing blueprints out there,
and plenty of are good, however typically they match 90% of what you want. Having the ability
to take management of that final 10% is simply superb!
Benefit from the launch!

Resize the playing cards in your dashboard
Resizing is done with a very nice slider interface, found in the card editing
menu under the new Layout tab, where you can preview your changes. Make
small 1×1 buttons or give a map the space it needs. This is only available on
our experimental sections view, which was recently released with drag-and-drop.
It works with every card, which gives users a lot of freedom. Most cards have
been given a built-in minimum and maximum size, to make it easier to get your
layouts just right. If you mess up the look of a card, luckily we have included
a revert button
top left corner 😉.
Data tables improvements
With this release, we add the final big piece of the puzzle: The ability to
customize the columns shown! 😎
By selecting the cog
the top right, you can not only customize the columns shown by toggling
visibility
can also change the order of the columns by
dragging
Making it even easier to show the data you want, in the order you want it.
Your customized columns and view are stored in your browser, so you only have
to set them up once. They will be remembered the next time you visit the page.
Voice & Assist
This month, we’re thrilled to bring more enhancements to Assist’s out-of-the-box
capabilities. We’ve added support for timers ⏲️ — our third most requested
feature for voice control — and the powerful ability to expose your
scriptsScripts are components that allow users to specify a sequence of actions to be executed by Home Assistant when turned on.
[Learn more] to LLMs (like ChatGPT and Google Gemini) as well! 💪

Timers are right here!
You requested, and we listened! As of this launch, timers can be found. This
characteristic lets you create, cancel, pause, resume, and modify timers utilizing
your voice, making on a regular basis duties like cooking a lot simpler. And sure, you’ll be able to
set a number of timers directly! 🎉

model.
Develop an LLM utilizing your scripts
Now you can develop LLM capabilities by permitting them entry to (your alternative)
of your scriptsScripts are elements that permit customers to specify a sequence of actions to be executed by Dwelling Assistant when turned on.
[Learn more]. This feature lets you precisely control what the
LLM does in specific situations, while still benefiting from the flexibility
and natural language processing that AIs excel at.
For example, you can create a “leaving home” script that performs the actions
you want and expose it to Assist. This ensures that commands like
“I’m heading out for a couple of minutes” will run your predefined script,
such as locking the door without turning off the air conditioning.

Most are easy to use and set up, but what if that great blueprint you’ve been
using just needs a little tweak? Just that tiny change to make it perfect for
your home?
Well, now you can! 🎉
You can now take full control over the automations created from a blueprint.
By taking control
Home Assistant will convert the blueprint automation into a regular,
stand-alone, automation. This allows you to make any tweak you want,
without having to re-invent the wheel.
The cool thing is that it shows you a preview of how the converted automation
would look like before you take over. This way, you can see what you are getting
into before you actually do it.

Assigning a template entity to an current gadget might be very helpful you probably have
a template that calculates a further sensor worth for a tool. For instance,
within the screenshot above, a template helper calculates the sum of two sensors
and is linked to the gadget that has these sensors.

Change the radius of your house zone
ZonesZones are areas that can be utilized for presence detection.[Learn more] in Home Assistant are a great way to define locations on your

always ideal for everyone. Although it could be changed using YAML, as of this
