## Month of "What the Heck?!"
|
||||
|
||||
We had the Month of "What the Heck?!" in December, and it was a blast! 🎉
|
||||
Thanks to all the contributors who participated in this event, raising all
|
||||
your "What the Heck?!" moments with Home Assistant.
|
||||
December’s **[Month of “What the Heck?!”](/blog/2024/11/30/the-month-of-what-the-heck/)**
|
||||
was an absolute blast! 🎉
|
||||
|
||||
All input from it is very valuable to us, and we are working on using it to
|
||||
shape the future of Home Assistant, for example, by determining what areas
|
||||
impact our roadmaps and priorities.
|
||||
A big thank you to everyone who contributed by sharing their “What the Heck?!”
|
||||
moments and ideas for improving Home Assistant. Your input is incredibly
|
||||
valuable and helps shape our roadmap and priorities moving forward.
|
||||
|
||||
Besides that, quite a bunch of shared "What the Heck?!" moments have been
|
||||
addressed in this release already 🚀

Quite a bunch of shared "What the Heck?!" moments have been addressed in this

|

improvements inspired by your feedback in upcoming releases.
|
||||
|
||||
While the month is over, the work is not! We expect to see many more results
|

from this month over the upcoming releases.

Yeah, that is a good WTH! Every time you create a new automation or script,

you probably want to organize it right away, and not having to go back to
