+## Dashboards - Chapter 2
+
+As part of our [roadmap](/blog/2024/06/12/roadmap-2024h1/#dashboards), work has
+continued, making the dashboard customization and organization easier and more
+intuitive.
+
+Last week, we had the ["Dashboards Chapter 2"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zmXLxQPr1o)
+live stream, talking about the current state of the dashboards, the progress
+we have made, the upcoming features and improvements we are working on, but
+more importantly: Great insights in all the research and design philosophy
+behind the dashboards. In case you missed it, you can watch the recording
+on our [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zmXLxQPr1o) or
+read the [recap blog post](/blog/2024/07/26/dashboard-chapter-2/).
+
+As part of our continuous improvement: This month we have fully redesigned
+and revamped the badges for your dashboards!
+
+### New badges for your dashboard
+
+We already wrote about it extensively in our [Dashboard Chapter 2 blog post](/blog/2024/07/26/dashboard-chapter-2/#new-badges):
+this release introduces our redesigned badges!
+
+A big revamp of the original badges that have been in Home Assistant since, well,
+forever. The new badges are designed to match the design of the
+[Mushroom] chip cards, and are
+mean to sit at the top of a dashboard view, providing a summary of the most
+important information that you need to know, at a glance.
+
+
+
+These new badges are of course fully configurable from the UI, allowing you to
+fully tweak them to your needs. You can specify whether the icon, name, and/or
+state will be visible, and you can configure the contents within each of them.
+
+Everything can, of course, be dragged and dropped in the order you like π
+
+Not just that, the new badges also come with visibility options, the same
+as we have [introduced for cards in Home Assistant 2024.6](/blog/2024/06/05/release-20246/#control-visibility-of-cards).
+Meaning you can show or hide them based on who is viewing the dashboard, what
+screen size it is displayed within, whether an entity is in a certain state, and more.
+
+
+
+The best news of all? The new badges work across both the new sections view and
+the old masonry view! π Heck!, we even support for custom badges, like the
+custom template one released by the [Mushroom] project π.
+
+If you have existing old-style badges today, don't worry! They will be
+automatically converted to the new badges when you upgrade to this release.
+

+
+## Goodbye service calls, hello actions π
+
+This release marks an important milestone in the evolution of Home Assistant:
+we are saying goodbye to **service calls** and hello to **actions**!
+
+If you are a long-time user of Home Assistant reading this now: don't be alarmed
+by this change, nothing breaks with this, and everything will continue to work
+as you are used to.
+
+In the 2024.1 release, we [unified the actions](/2024/01/03/release-20241/#unified-actions)
+in the Home Assistant automation & script editors. The goal of that change
+was to make our automation editor easier to understand for newer users, by
+removing the "Service call" layer and terminology.
+
+
+
+The UI in above screenshot is thus already in place since the January release,
+and was very well received in general. However, the underlying terminology
+in our documentation and all other places in Home Assistant was still using
+the "service call" terminology.
+
+Additionally, the term "services" in Home Assistant is overloaded and abiguous.
+It is used for both the services you can call in Home Assistant, but also for
+service you might integrate with, like a weather service, or a music service.
+In the latter case, we are talking about integrating with a service provided by
+a software program or website, the menu item in the setting called
+**Devices & services** that refers to that. π΅βπ«
+
+To make things more clear, we are now changing the terminology in Home Assistant
+from "services" (as in service calls variant) to "actions" **everywhere**.
+
+Every occurance in the documentation, the UI, the code, and everywhere else
+in Home Assistant, has been replaced with "action". Unlike the previous services
+which where "called", actions are "performed".
+
+
+
+{% important %}
+
+If you are writing automations in YAML, you will notice that the `service` key
+in your actions is now called `action`. For example:
+
+```yaml
+- action: light.turn_on
+ target:
+ area: living_room
+```
+
+Existing UI-managed automations will be automatically converted to when they
+are edited and saved the next time. If you write automation in YAML, you can
+use either `action` or `service` as this change is fully backward compatible,
+but we recommend using `action` from now on.
+
+{% endimportant %}
+
+## Sort data tables by created or last modified
+
+You've added a new integration, a new device, or maybe just updated
+Home Assistant and wondering what new entities or devices you have available?
+
+This release is going to help you with that. Home Assistant now tracks
+when entities, devices, and many other things were created or last
+modified. If these are shown in a table, it means you can now sort them by
+the date they were created or last modified; helping you finding those
+recently added or modified items.
+
+
+
+The created and modified columns are hidden by default, but you can make them
+visible by clicking the {% icon "mdi:cog" %} icon in the top right of the
+table. Sorting is always available, regardless of the visibility of the columns.
+
+## Control Home Assistant using AI with Ollama
+
+In the 2024.6 release, we introduced the ability to use the [OpenAI] and
+[GoogleAI] {%term integrations %} to [control your home using Large Language Models]
+(LLMs). Many of you request this to work with a local hosted LLM as well.
+
+Today we are happy to announce that Home Assistant now supports being
+controlled by local LLMs too!
+
+This is achieved thanks to [@Shulyaka] adding support for the brand new tools
+API in Ollama. The performance of the local models has been fine tuned by
+[@AllenPorter].
+
+Allen created a new LLM benchmark suite that is more balanced and less focused
+on the edge cases. We scored the different models with this new benchmark.
+
+The cloud-based models scored 98% on this new benchmark while local LLMs did
+not do so well. Through prompt tuning and fixes included in this release,
+we have been able to now get local LLMs to be able to score a reasonable 81%.
+
+
+
+We will continue to work on testing new models and improving our prompts
+and tools to achieve a higher score.
+
+If you like to experiment with local LLMs using Home Assistant, we currently
+recommend using the Llama 3.1 8B model.

+### Farewell to the following
+
+The following {% term integrations %} are also no longer available as
+of this release:
+
+- **UE Smart Radio** has been removed, the service has been [discontinued](https://forums.slimdevices.com/forum/user-forums/general-discussion/1668327-uesmartradio-com-and-mysqueezebox-com-servers).
+
+## Zigbee Home Automation (ZHA) updates
+
+The [Zigbee Home Automation] (ZHA) integration has seen lot of improvements
+and love from [@dmulcahey], [@puddly], and [@TheJulianJES] this release.
+
+What this means for you? Well... basically nothing! And this sounds odd, but is
+is a good thing!
+
+The whole integration has been split into a separate codebases, making it
+easier to maintain and improve. This is a huge step forward for the integration
+that took months of work to get done.
+
+You will not notice anything different right now, but this change will make
+it easier to maintain and improve the integration in the future, including
+the ability for code contributers to contribute to the integration more easily.
+

+
+## Matter updates
+
+A couple of updates for the Matter integration this release, while we are
+working hard to get the integration ready for official Matter certification.
+
+The Matter integration can now provide update entities. Meaning, if your
+Matter device has a firmware update available, Home Assistant will now
+be able to inform you about it and update the device for you. π
+
+_TODO: Add screenshot of a Matter device updating_
+
+This update feature is available for all Matter devices of which the
+manufacturers provide firmware updates for via the official main Matter update
+channels. There are not many manufacturers yet, but this is a great step
+forward and we hope many Matter manufacturers will follow this example.
+
+Event entities provided by the Matter integration have been improved. They
+will now provide more event types, allowing you to react to things like single
+press or double press events with ease.
+
+Additionally, [@jvmahon] contributed support for select entities to the Matter
+integration. This is used for selecting modes if your Matter device supports
+that. For example, laundry washer, oven or dishwasher modes.
+
+[@jvmahon]: https://github.com/jvmahon
+
+## KNX can now be managed via the UI
+
+_TODO: Add piece of text / story / context as provided by [@farmio]_
+
+The [KNX integration] now supports managing entities from the UI. This means
+you can now create, update, and delete KNX entities directly from the UI
+in the brand new dedicated KNX panel.
+
+
+

+
+## Other noteworthy changes
+
+There are many more improvements in this release; here are some of the other
+noteworthy changes this release:
+
+- We are proud of our [Open Home Foundation], so we now will show its pretty
+ logo on the loading and about screens of Home Assistant. Thanks [@balloob]!
+- [Timer support] using [Assist], for mobile devices. This means you can now
+ control times from your mobile device or tablet. Thanks [@balloob]!
+- You can now ask [Assist] for the current time and date, thanks [@synesthesiam]!
+- Home Assistant will now raise a repair issue if an script can't be set up
+ (for example, because of YAML syntax errors). Thanks [@emontnemery]!
+- If Home Assistant finds an integration set up that has been removed
+ (like when you remove a custom integration), it will now raise a repair issue
+ to help you clean up anything left behind. Thanks [@joostlek]!
+- The [group] has support for grouping two new entities types. [@joostlek] added
+ support for grouping [notify] entities, and [@frenck] added support for grouping
+ [button] entities. Nice!
+- The [Generic Thermostat] and [Hygrostat] helpers will now be linked to the
+ device that provided the actuator entity, thanks [@dougiteixeira]!
+- [@gjohansson-ST] did the same, he added a link to the [History stats] helper
+ to the device that provided the sensor entity.
+- You can now set up [button], [image], [select], and [switch] templates
+ entities, straight from the UI. Awesome job [@dougiteixeira]!
+- [@karwosts] added a button to the actions developer tools to copy the action
+ response as JSON for use in templates. Nice!

+## Integrations and helpers set up via YAML, now visible in the UI!
+
+Most popular {% term integrations %} and helpers can be set up directly from the
+Home Assistant user interface. However, we still have a lot of older or less
+used integrations that can only be set up using manual YAML configuration.
+
+We are working hard to move more and more of these integrations to the UI,
+however, this takes time and effort; every release we are enabling more and
+more of these integrations to be set up from the UI.
+
+The problem with these integrations is that they are not visible in the UI
+when they are set up using YAML. What we often see happening, is that someone
+set up an integration using YAML, and next cannot see them on the integrations
+page. Often resulting in questions in our community about where to find them.
+
+As of this release, we have drasticly improved this situation. All integrations,
+regardless of how they are set up, are now visible in the integrations page
+in the UI. This means that even if you set up an integration using YAML, you
+can now find them in the UI and can view their provided entities.
+
+
+
+_TODO: Replace screenshot_
+
+Integrations originating from manual YAML configuration can be recognized by the
+{% icon "mdi:code-braces" %} icon showing on their cards.
+
+Similar, we also have a lot of helpers that can only be set up using YAML
+configuration. These sometimes showed up in the UI, but often did not. We have
+adjusted this as well, and made sure that all helpers are now visible in the UI,
+regardless how they are set up.
+
+{% note %}
+Things set up manually using YAML are still managed using YAML. This means that
+if you want to change the configuration of these integrations or helpers, you
+will need to do so in the YAML configuration files.

+## Backward-incompatible changes
+
+We do our best to avoid making changes to existing functionality that might
+unexpectedly impact your Home Assistant installation. Unfortunately, sometimes,
+it is inevitable.
+
+We always make sure to document these changes to make the transition as easy as
+possible for you. This release has the following backward-incompatible changes:
+
+{% details "Recorder database upgrade notice" %}
+
+This notice is only relevant if you are using the recorder integration with
+an MySQL or ProgreSQL database. If you are using the default SQLite database,
+you can ignore this notice.
+
+This release includes a database upgrade/migration that increases the size
+of the number we can store for the idenfier fields. A more technical explanation:
+We are upgrading integer fields for ID columns from a 32-bit integer to `BIGINT`,
+which is a 64-bit integer.
+
+This can cause the database upgrade to take longer than usual, depending on
+the size of your database.
+
+Please be patient and let the upgrade process finish. Do not interrupt the
+upgrade process, as this can lead to a corrupted database.

+{% details "Bluesound" %}
+
+Sources behave slightly different. Radio station providers (like TuneIn, Radio
+Paradise) are not part of the source list anymore as they are not selectable
+as source.
+
+Presets which play a specific radio station can be created in the BluOS app and
+are displayed as sources in Home Assistant.
+
+The currently selected source tries to match those presets and falls back to
+the radio station provider (like TuneIn, Radio Paradise).

+- `effect`
+- `hs_color`
+- `rgb_color`
+- `rgbw_color`

+
+Multi press events are now split of into their own dedicated event type such as
+`multi_press_1`, `multi_press_2` etc. making it easier to automate on multiple
+presses instead of having to look manually at the number of presses count.
+
+If you have used the current event type in your automations, you will need to

+
+A new service, `nws.get_forecasts_extra`, is provided that includes
