 The `dsmr_reader` sensor integration allows you to easily add all sensors that [DSMR Reader](https://dsmr-reader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) (Dutch Smart Meter Requirements Reader) exposes to MQTT. It adds a separate sensor for every field in the MQTT topics which is named `sensor_dsmr_<mqtt_topic>`.

+{% note %}
+
+**Welcome to the beta release notes for Home Assistant 2024.11** 🎉
+
+<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/125)
+- [Report(ed) beta **integrations/automations/backend/core** issues](https://github.com/home-assistant/core/milestone/699)
+- [Report(ed) beta **documentation** issues](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/milestone/132)
+
+🙏 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. 🔝

+## 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 "A. O. Smith" %}
+
+A. O. Smith now provides the hot water status as a percentage rather than low,
+medium, or high. The hot water status entity has been updated accordingly.
+
+([@bdr99] - [#127678]) ([documentation](/integrations/aosmith))
+
+[@bdr99]: https://github.com/bdr99
+[#127678]: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/127678
+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+{% details "HomeKit" %}
+
+Historically, many integrations implemented doorbells as binary sensors with a
+device class of occupancy. This design was replaced with the new event entities,
+which use a purpose-built device class of doorbell.
+
+HomeKit will no longer automatically link binary sensors with device class
+occupancy as a linked doorbell sensor. Linked doorbell sensors can continue
+to be configured manually via YAML.
+
+([@bdraco] - [#127668]) ([documentation](/integrations/homekit))
+
+[@bdraco]: https://github.com/bdraco
+[#127668]: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/127668
+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+{% details "Litter-Robot" %}
+
+Previously Litter-Robot could use have an off-state. This has now changed to
+`docked` as `off` isn't a valid state for `vacuum` entities.
+
+([@gjohansson-ST] - [#128297]) ([documentation](/integrations/litterrobot))
+
+[@gjohansson-ST]: https://github.com/gjohansson-ST
+[#128297]: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/128297
+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+{% details "Netatmo" %}
+
+The preset modes of the thermostat have been renamed in order to support
+translations `Schedule`, `Frost guard` and `Manual` has been renamed to
+`schedule`, `frost_guard` and `manual`.
+
+([@piitaya] - [#128890]) ([documentation](/integrations/netatmo))
+
+[@piitaya]: https://github.com/piitaya
+[#128890]: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/128890
+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+{% details "Updates" %}
+
+State attributes of update entities have been changed:
+
+- The `in_progress` state attribute is now always a `bool`, never an integer.
+- A new state attribute `update_percentage` has been added. The
+  `update_percentage` is a number between 0-100 if an update is in progress
+  and the entity supports reporting progress, or `None` if an update is not
+  in progress or an update is in progress but the entity does not support
+  reporting progress.
+
+Scripts, automations, custom frontend components etc. which consume the
+`in_progress` state attribute of update entities need to be updated accordingly.
