+
+Services now can respond with data! 🎉
+
+Yes, you read that right! This advanced feature is a huge step forward for
+Home Assistant and will allow for a lot of new possibilities.
+
+So, normally, calling a service in an automation or script, is a one-way
+communication to control your devices and services. For example, turning on a
+light, or play an announcement on your speakers.
+
+So, what is the use of a service responding data? Well, it could be used to
+ask for information from a device or service. For example, you could ask
+Home Assistant which events are on your calendar today, and and use the
+answer from that service call to create a notification or announcement.
+
+<p class='img'>
+<img src='https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/427516175237382144/1123597217622663278/CleanShot_2023-06-28_at_14.53.44.png?width=2422&height=1462'></a>
+Temporary screenshot that needs to be replaced.
+</p>
+
+We have two brand new service to play with:
+
+- {% my developer_call_service service="conversation.process" %} - This
+  service allows you to ask Assist a command or question, and get a response
+  back.
+- {% my developer_call_service service="conversation.process" %} - This service
+  allows you to ask Home Assistant for a list of events on your calendar.
+
+If you combine those in an automation, in the morning, you could ask
+Home Assistant for todays calendar events, add things like weather information,
+send it to ChatGPT using the conversation proceess and ask it to summerize it,
+and send a notification to your phone with the result.
+
+[@allenporter] has put this all togther in this Blueprint to play with:
+
+<https://gist.github.com/allenporter/e70d9eb090c7dbdd593cf526e07b4abe>
+
+This is just one example, but the possibilities are endless! It is exciting
+to see what other creative use cases and new services with response will
+be added in the future!
+
+This feature is also added to scripts! So, you can make your scripts
+respond and use that script response in your automations. This is a great way
+to make your scripts more dynamic and flexible.
+
+A special thanks to [@allenporter], who has been responsible for building out
+the larger part of this feature!

+{% enddetails %}
+
+We are continuing to improve the entity dialogs. This time, we have reworked
+a new dialog for locks. It looks great!
+
+It looks similar to the entity dialog for the switch, but it has a few
+extra features like asking for a unlock code and has a beautiful animation
+when it is (un)locking.

+Temporary screenshot that needs to be replaced.
+</p>
+
+With this brand new action, you can open Assist from your dashboards using, for
+example, a button and even make Assist start listening right away. This can
+be useful for use on a wall mounted tablet, for example.

+- Sentence trigger ([@synesthesiam] - [#94613]) ([conversation docs]) (noteworthy)
+- Add UI for conversation trigger (#17037) @bramkragten
+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+Our [Assist](/voice_control/) is getting more and more powerful! This time,
+we have added a new trigger to our automation editor that allows you to
+trigger an automation when a sentence is said to the default Assist conversation
+agent. 🤯

+
+- Improve/extend story
+- Proof read/spelling/grammar

+
+Sources:
+
+- Add Guest WiFi QR-Code image entity to AVM Fritz!Tools ([@mib1185] - [#95282]) ([fritz docs]) ([fritzbox_callmonitor docs]) (new-platform) (noteworthy)
+- Add mqtt image platform ([@jbouwh] - [#94769]) ([mqtt docs]) (new-platform) (noteworthy)
+- Add image platform to the template integration ([@emontnemery] - [#94928]) ([template docs]) ([image docs]) (noteworthy)
+- Add support for image entity (#16877) @bramkragten
+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+There is a brand new entity type in town: [Image entities](/integrations/image/).
+
+The image entity is very similar to the [camera entity](/integrations/camera/),
+but instead of providing a live stream, it provides a single image. For example,
+a QR-code that provides the WiFi credentials for your guest network, a weather
+map, an image of the last motion detected by your camera, or just the cute cat
+picture of the day!
+
+<p class='img'>
+<img src='https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5878303/247602059-8f3a322e-3e29-48a4-8b84-47dc22c9a878.png'></a>
+Temporary screenshot that needs to be replaced.
+</p>
+
+Support for this brand new entity has been added to the [AVM Fritz!Box Tools](/integrations/fritz/),
+for guest network access, and the [MQTT integration](/integrations/mqtt/) and
+[Template integration](/integrations/template/) if you want to build your own.

+- Show card positions in edit dashboard mode (#17055) @karwosts
+- Support cut/copy/paste in dashboard UI editor (#16707) @karwosts
+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+In the previous release, [@karwosts] added the amazing [copy 'n paste feature](/blog/2023/06/07/release-20236/#copy-n-paste-support-in-the-automation-editor)
+to our automation and script editors. This release, he is back with the same
+feature for our dashboards!
+
+You can now cut, copy, and paste cards between your dashboards, views and
+even inside other nested cards. This makes it a lot easier to reorganize your
+dashboards!
+
+<p class='img'>
+<img src='https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/32912880/242464648-bc2dd476-9acf-4ccf-a615-668f7dd949f1.gif'></a>
+Temporary screenshot that needs to be replaced.
+</p>
+
+To make it even easier to reorganize your dashboards, it is mandatory to
+understand the order of the cards across the differnt columns in your view.
+So, a positional number is now shown when the your are in edit mode.
+
+<p class='img'>

+Temporary screenshot that needs to be replaced.
+</p>
+
+Added bonus: Who needs drag 'n drop when you've got click 'n ...teleport? Click
+on the number and you can input a new position for the card!

+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+When you create a new automation, you'll get a nice dialog shown where you can
+choose to create a new automation from scratch, or use one of your imported
+blueprints as a starting point.
+
+[@karwosts] has now added the same dialog to our script editor! 🎉
+
+<p class='img'>

+Temporary screenshot that needs to be replaced.
+</p>
+
+Being able to set up scripts from Blueprints is great, as combined with the
+brand new [service response](#services-call-can-now-respond) feature, these
+become a lot more powerful and a lot more useful for sharing!

+- Allow to show times in the UI in the timezone of the server (#16799) @bramkragten
+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+You can now select which timezone the Home Assistant interface should use
+in your user profile. This is useful if you are traveling or if you have
+family members in different timezones.
+
+You can select to use the timezone of your current location, or you can
+choose to use the timezone that your Home Assistant server is in. The
+Home Assistant frontend will adjust all off the date & times to the
+selected timezone.
+
+## Iteration on the integrations dashboard
+
+{% details "TODO" %}
+
+- Improve/extend story
+- Proof read/spelling/grammar
+- Replace screenshot
+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+Last release we introduced new [integrations dashboards & pages](/blog/2023/06/07/release-20236/#integrations-dashboard--pages),
+which was very well received. Yet, there has been some feedback on the
+dashboard, and we have been working on improving it.
+
+The main goal, was to make it feel less busy and more familiar and consistent
+with all other UI elements.
+
+<p class='img'>
+<img src='https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5662298/249429574-eb6f4e82-2845-47f0-b488-4ddc8572bcfc.png'></a>
+Temporary screenshot that needs to be replaced.
+</p>
+
+The cards shown are now more consistent with the rest of Home Assistant and the
+full header item is now clickable. The cog, device and service items
+have been removed and the indicators for custom integrations and cloud services
+are no longer overlapping the logos.
+
+## Reducing the risk of running into breaking changes
+
+{% details "TODO" %}
+
+- Decide if we should keep this?
+  Maybe add it as an intro to the breaking changes section?
+- Improve/extend story
+- Proof read/spelling/grammar
+- Replace screenshot
+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+Breaking changes, nobody loves them, but they are sometimes necessary to move
+forward. We try to keep them to an absolute minimum, but sometimes they are
+inevitable.
+
+However, we do want to reduce the risk of running into them. Therefore we have
+adopted [a new policy for deprecating YAML integration configuration options][adr].
+
+We now require that a YAML configuration option is deprecated for at least 6
+months before it is removed. This means, if you skip a release or two, you won't
+be running into a hard breaking change.
+
+To even improve on this further, if possible, an automatic migration is required
+and an issue in the repairs dashboard will be raised if the deprecation applies
+to your configuration.
+
+Hopefully this helps reducing the frustration of running into breaking changes.

+## Unavailable automations and scripts

+- Set automations which fail validation unavailable ([@emontnery] - [#94856]) ([automation docs]) (noteworthy)

+- Show if script is unavailable and why (#17051) @bramkragten
+- Show if automation is unavailable and why (#17048) @bramkragten
+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+Automations and scripts are awesome! They can add a lot of confort to your
+home, but they have a weird quirk. If they have an error, they would just
+disappear from Home Assistant.
+
+This is no longer the case! If an automation or script has an error, it will
+now show up as unavailable in the UI. Selecting such an automation will show
+you the error message, so you know what is going on and what to fix.

+- Improve/extend story
+- Proof read/spelling/grammar

+
+- Add support for ESPHome raw bluetooth advertisements ([@bdraco] - [#94138]) ([esphome docs]) (noteworthy)
+- Bump bluetooth-data-tools to 1.2.0 ([@bdraco] - [#94696]) ([esphome docs]) ([bluetooth docs]) ([led_ble docs]) ([ld2410_ble docs]) (dependency) (noteworthy)
+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+Bluetooth proxies are now even faster! Like... really fast!
+When using the latest ESPHome and this release of Home Assistant, it will
+be so much faster that we should actually recommend using over an native
+Bluetooth stick.
+
+## Matter updates

+- Proof read/spelling/grammar
+- Replace screenshot
+
+Sources:

+- Change subscription logic for Matter devices ([@marcelveldt] - [#95387]) ([matter docs]) (dependency) (noteworthy)
+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+- Subscriptions are now optimized for larger (thread) networks, this improves speed and reliability.
+- Startup time (especially with a large number of nodes) is now blazing fast (from minutes to seconds)
+- Even faster state updates
+- Changes to bridges are now instantly detected (e.g. adding a new bridged device or removing one)
+- Better logging of all activity
+- If one or more nodes are unavailable, it will no longer hold up subscriptions and interviews for other devices.
+- Climate support has been added **(NOTE: pending merge, unsure...)**

+
+There are much more easter bunnies in this release; here are some of the other

+  Thanks [@michalmo]!
+- [@dougiteixeira] adjusted the [Derivative], [Riemann sum integral],
+  [Threshold] and [Utility Meter] helper to add the helper to the source device.
+  This makes them show up on the device page of the device the helper is using.
+  Nice work!
+- The [MQTT][mqtt_water_heater] integration has now support for water heaters,
+  thanks [@hookedonunix]!
+- [@Lash-L] keept on improving the [Roborock] integration and added cleaning
+  area sensors and switches to control DnD mode. Thanks!

+The behavior of MQTT climate when `power_command_topic` is set has been changed:

+  is called.
+- When `hvac_mode` is changed, `payload_on` or `payload_off` messages will
+  not be published on the `power_command_topic`.
+
+This also means `power_command_topic` is no longer deprecated.
