+## Dipping our toes in the world of AI using LLMs
+
+Our voice assistant brain is called a **conversation agent**.
+It is responsible for understanding the intention behind the spoken command,
+performing an action, and generating a response.
+
+Since the beginning of our voice journey, we proposed you to switch your
+conversation agent for a LLM-based one. This led to some very funny experiments,
+such as our [infamous interview with Mario](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLx8_NAqptk).
+
+Up until now, these two worlds (our own Home Assistant conversation agent
+controlling your home, LLM-based conversation agents) were not overlapping,
+it was impossible to control your home from a LLM-based conversation agent.
+
+Today we're happy to announce that we are closing this gap!
+
+<lite-youtube videoid="3V9Pj6XCels" videotitle="Temporary video that needs to be replaced"></lite-youtube>
+
+When setting up a LLM-Based conversation agent you can decide to let your
+conversation agent control your home with a flick of a switch.

+## Assist: Media player intents
+
+We released new voice intents in 2024.3: The ability to control media players
+
+- Pausing playback
+- Resuming Playback
+- Setting the volume of a media player
+- Playing the next media in the queue
+
+Up until now, we were only proposing sentence targeting a specific entity by its
+name. Due to this limitation, these intents were not the most user friendly to
+use, as the sentences were pretty heavy to say: _"Skip to the next song on the TV"_.
+
+We are now proposing sentences targeting an area, Home Assistant will handle all
+the logic of deciding which exposed media player to target based on the intents
+triggered.
+
+We paired these new sentences with our "Context awareness" feature _(The ability
+to implicitly target the same area in which the voice assistant is)_. 
+
+Thanks to that, we are now able to provide very simple and user friendly
+sentences to control your media players, such as:
+
+- Pause
+- Resume
+- Next
+- Set the volume to 50%
+
+<lite-youtube videoid="SAd5ZBOhaUg" videotitle="Temporary video that needs to be replaced"></lite-youtube>
+
+Just make sure your voice assistant is assigned to an area that contains an
+exposed media player, and you will be good to go.
+
+## Show sections conditionally
+
+For the new sections dashboard feature, we added a new visibility option. This
+options allows you to hide or show a section based on certain conditions.
+
+For example, you may want to only display a section on mobile, when you're at
+home, and when the kitchen lights are on.
+
+It uses the [same conditions as condition cards](/dashboards/conditional/#conditions-options).
+The big difference is, that you don't need a condition card to use this feature.
+it is available directly in the section configuration, in the visibility tab
+in the options of a section.

+
+<lite-youtube videoid="hhELdXsyL9Q" videotitle="Temporary video that needs to be replaced"></lite-youtube>
+
+## Setting a dashboard background
+
+[@Nezz] contributed an great new feature to our dashboarding UI: The ability to
+set an background image for your dashboard!
+
+Previously, this was only possible by editting YAML, but now you can do it
+directly from the UI. Even better, you can just directly upload an image from
+your computer!
+
+![Screenshot 2024-05-02 231131](https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/assets/431167/706dc550-1335-46ee-9673-6fced559c533)
+
+This same ability to upload images directly from your computer, was added
+to the picture card too! Thanks, [@karwosts] for that one!

+_Note: Add a picture uploader to picture-card-editor (#18695) @karwosts__
+
+## Data tables improvements
+
+Just like the last release, this release keeps on improving our data tables.
+
+When we introduced grouping of data in the tables, you've been asking for a way
+to collapse and expand those groupings, so, last release, we did! But then 
+quickly realized that it was not enough, and you wanted to be able to collapse
+and expand all groups at once. So, we did that for this release!
+
+![CleanShot 2024-05-28 at 11 07 39@2x](https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/assets/5662298/ff5645b1-18c0-4a7d-8b09-3e15ffa9cc0d)
+
+Additionally, filters you've set in the data tables are now saved in your
+browser session. Meaning, if you navigate away from the page and come back, your
+filters will still be there. But! Each browser tab or window has its own session,
+meaning you can have different filters in different tabs or windows that are
+remembered for that specific tab or window.
+
+Lastly, we've expanded the voice assistant expose data table to allow grouping
+by area and domain.
+
+![CleanShot 2024-05-15 at 10 51 08](https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/assets/5878303/1603f219-8828-47f5-a4a7-603111f64f97)
+
+## Updates Matter
+
+First of all, as one of the first in the industry, we are proud to announce that
+Home Assistant is already based on the latest Matter specification: Matter 1.3!
+
+Improved logic for custom clusters which allows us to receive custom attributes
+push based (attribute subscrtiption) if the device supports that and if not,
+we receive it using a poll logic. This Poll logic has also been optimized and
+now is executed in an optimized way server-side, accounting for network traffic
+so it will no longer have a very bad negative impact on bigger Thread networks.
+
+Introduction of the Fan platform, used by Air Purifier and Room Airconditioner
+device types in Matter.
+
+Lots of smaller bugfixes and extensions of discovery schemas so more entities
+will be discovered for your Matter devices. Also, optimizations of the climate
+platform to fix issues with setting a new thermostat setpoint, for example,
+on various devices.
+
+## Ability to disable the expiring of login tokens
+
+A few releases ago we introduce the automatic expiration of logins. If a login
+token wasn't used for 90 days, it would expire and automatically be cleaned up.
+
+Some users have expressed that they would like to disable this feature, so we
+added a new option to the user profile settings to disable the expiration of
+login tokens.
+
+![CleanShot 2024-05-27 at 16 49 35](https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/assets/5878303/fab560e1-28fc-4ad7-bbbf-cd65607a8ae2)
+
+## Tag entities!
+
+Home Assistant has support for tags for a long time. The tags feature allowed
+for NFC tags or QR codes, to be used with Home Assistant, for example, to
+trigger automations.
+
+However, tags were not real entities, and thus not always as logical to use as
+other entities. With this release, this has been changed by [@gjohansson-ST]!
+
+Tags are now normal entities, and can be used in automations, scripts, templates,
+and even been shown on your dashboard!
+
+## Collapsable sections for blueprints!
+
+[@karwosts] added the ability to add collapsible sections to blueprint
+configuration. This allows blueprint creators to group configuration options
+together, or to hide advanced or less common options by default.
+
+![collapsible-blueprint](https://github.com/home-assistant/core/assets/32912880/8a05f428-d4cc-41ef-9507-764d191f197b)
+
+## Other noteworthy changes
+
+There are many more improvements in this release; here are some of the other
+noteworthy changes this release:
+
+- A default code can now be set in the entity settings for every alarm control
+  panel entities. Nice work [@gjohansson-ST]!
+- [@Troon] added a filter to our templates: `add`. This filter allows you to
+  add a value, similar to the existing `multiply`. Great!
+- A new action building block has been added to our automations and scripts
+  by [@frenck]: [Run sequence of actions]. This allows you to group multiple
+  actions together.
+- Need a wireless device that can bridge a larger distance? A [LoRa] device
+  might be a good option. Thanks to [@angelnu] we now have a working integration
+  for [The Things Network].
+- [@starkillerOG] added support for PIR and battery sensors to the [Reolink]
+  integrations. Nice!
+- The [Teslemetry] integration has been expanded tremendously, adding new
+  platforms and features. Awesome job [@Bre77]!

+## Backward-incompatible changes

+{% details "Anova" %}
+
+The `State` and `Mode` entities for Anova devices have been changed to match the
+new protocol messaging. Any automations based on these entities will need to be
+updated.

+{% details "File" %}
+
+The notify services for the file integration now require that the file path
+is an allowed path. You should check the accessed file is in the

+
+The behavior on processing  empty and `"None"` state payloads for MQTT entities
+has been made more predictable for `alarm_control_panel`, `climate`, `cover`,
+`device_tracker`, `lock`, `select`, `valve` and `water_heater` items:
+
+- A "None" (string) for a state payload generally means that the state
+  becomes `unknown`.
+- An empty payload is ignored.
+
+Previously, a "None" state could be considered invalid or was just ignored.

+Migration to new library with support of OneCall API (3.0).
+
+OWM API v2.5 will be closed in June 2024. All OpenWeatherMap integrations must
+be migrated to mode (API) v3.0 to avoid service interruption.
+
+Before the migration, you must have an active subscription (be aware that
+subscription activation takes up to 2h). After the subscription is activated,
+users can migrate integrations to mode v3.0 via repair notification or manually
+via the integration configuration menu.
+
+The subscription has a free tier with 1000 calls/day. Consider setting the limit
+on the OpenWeatherMap website to stay under the threshold where API usage
+incurs a cost.
