{% note %}
**Welcome to the beta release notes for Home Assistant 2025.8** 🎉
<br />
Please note that these release notes are a work in progress. 👷‍♀️ We will be
completing them over the next couple of days. Not all features might be final
yet, and some features _**may not** make it into the final release_.
<br />
**Want to help test the beta?** Awesome! ❤️ We have documented how you
[can join our beta channel and install the beta here](/common-tasks/os/#running-a-beta-version).
<br />
While running the beta, we highly recommend joining our _#beta_ channel on
the [Home Assistant Discord chat](/join-chat)! 💬 Most developers and beta
testers are in this channel during the beta period to share experiences, ideas,
and iterate over new features, fine-tuning them before the final release.
It's a really fun place to hang out. 😎
<br />
**Reporting issues**: As this is a beta test, you might encounter unexpected
behavior or issues. 🐞 We use the GitHub issue tracker to track beta issues.
You can find our issue trackers and the reported issues during beta here:
<br />
- [Report(ed) beta **dashboards/UI/frontend** issues](https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/milestone/134)
- [Report(ed) beta **integrations/automations/backend/core** issues](https://github.com/home-assistant/core/milestone/751)
- [Report(ed) beta **documentation** issues](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/milestone/141)
🙏 When reporting issues, **make sure to mention the exact beta version you are
running** in the issue description. This will help us identify and track the
issue correctly. Read more about [reporting issues here](/help/reporting_issues/).
<br />
Issues introduced in the beta are processed with priority. 🔝

## Integrations
Thanks to our community for keeping pace with the new {% term integrations %}
and improvements to existing ones! Youre all awesome 🥰
### New integrations
We welcome the following new integrations in this release:
- **[Lorem]**, added by [@frenck]
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
[@frenck]: https://github.com/Lorem
[Lorem]: /integrations/lorem
### Noteworthy improvements to existing integrations
It is not just new {% term integrations %} that have been added; existing
integrations are also being constantly improved. Here are some of the noteworthy
changes to existing integrations:
- [@frenck] added support for slipsum to [Lorem ipsum]! Nice!
[@frenck]: https://github.com/frenck
[Lorem ipsum]: /integrations/lorem
### Integration quality scale achievements
One thing we are incredibly proud of in Home Assistant is our
[integration quality scale]. This scale helps us and our contributors to ensure
integrations are of high quality, maintainable, and provide the best possible
user experience.
This release, we celebrate several {% term integrations %} that have improved
their quality scale:
- **1 integrations reached platinum** 🏆
- [Lorem], thanks to [@frenck]
- **1 integration reached gold** 🥇
- [Lorem], thanks to [@frenck]
- **1 integration reached silver** 🥈
- [Lorem], thanks to [@frenck]
- **1 integrations reached bronze** 🥉
- [Lorem], thanks to [@frenck]
This is a huge achievement for these integrations and their maintainers. The
effort and dedication required to reach these quality levels is significant,
as it involves extensive testing, documentation, error handling, and often
complete rewrites of parts of the integration.
A big thank you to all the contributors involved! 👏

[Lorem]: /integrations/lorem
### Now available to set up from the UI
While most {% term integrations %} can be set up directly from the Home Assistant
user interface, some were only available using YAML configuration. We keep moving
more integrations to the UI, making them more accessible for everyone
to set up and use.
The following integration is now available via the Home Assistant UI:
- **[Lorem]**, done by [@frenck]
[@frenck]: https://github.com/frenck
[Lorem]: /integrations/lorem
### Farewell to the following
The following {% term integrations %} are also no longer available as
of this release:
- **Slipsum** has been removed it is now an option of Lorem ipsum.
## Other noteworthy changes
There are many more improvements in this release; here are some of the other noteworthy changes:
- [@frenck] added support for slipsum to [Lorem ipsum]! Nice!
[@frenck]: https://github.com/frenck
[Lorem ipsum]: /integrations/lorem
## Lorem ipsum

{% details "Lorem ipsum" %}
Flipsum is now kinda broken.
