+{% note %}
+
+**Welcome to the beta release notes for Home Assistant 2025.3** 🎉
+
+<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 />

+## Dashboard view headers
+
+This release brings the ability to add headers to your dashboards. This allows
+you to add a title and a welcoming text (using Markdown and even templates)
+to your dashboards. Additionally, badges can be added to the header.
+
+The nice thing about the header is that it can be aligned in different ways.
+It comes with a responsive layout by default, but you can also set it to
+always left align or always center align.
+
+<img class="no-shadow" alt="TODO: Replace." src="/images/blog/2025-03/temp-view-header.png" />
+
+As for the badges, they can be positioned as well, either below the text
+(default) or above the text.
+
+## Tile cards
+
+A lot of touches and improvements have been made to the tile cards in this
+release. The tile card is one of the most versatile cards in Home Assistant,
+and we have made it even better!
+
+### Knowing which tile card can be controlled
+
+Tile cards are awesome! It is arguably the best and most versatile dashboard
+card Home Assistant currently has. But ever since its creation, it had a little
+flaw that you might have ran into yourself a few time...
+
+How would you know if tapping a tile card would trigger an action or when
+it would just display the current state value of a sensor? We have subtly fixed
+these things in this release!
+
+<img class="no-shadow" alt="TODO: Replace." src="/images/blog/2025-03/temp-tile-card-shapes.png" />
+
+When there is no action (or only a more info attached), we don't show the circle.
+When it does have an action, it will show the circle, meaning you can tap that
+little button.
+
+### Position tile card features
+
+Ever since we added support for resizing cards, we gained the ability to make
+very wide tile cards. These cards would have a lot of empty space surrounding
+them, which, well, at times could be helpful, I guess.
+
+But what if you could do something useful with that space? Now you can!
+All features of a tile card can now be positioned in-line in the tile card!
+
+<img class="no-shadow" alt="TODO: Replace." src="/images/blog/2025-03/temp-tile-card-inline-feature.png" />
+
+This brings a completely new look and feel which we
+are sure you are going to love! From the setting perspective, you can
+set the feature to be positioned either vertically or on the right side.
+
+<img class="no-shadow" alt="TODO: Replace." src="/images/blog/2025-03/temp-tile-card-inline-settings.png" />
+
+Note, that only the first feature can be positioned in-line, the rest will
+be positioned below the tile card.
+
+### New tile card features
+
+This release also ships with two new tile card features that can be
+added to your entities to provide new controls. These have been contributed by
+[@jpbede], so a big shout out to him!
+
+[@jpbede]: https://github.com/jpbede
+
+#### Switch toggle
+
+The first addition is one that is just surprising we didn't have it before.
+A switch toggle! This allows you to toggle a switch entity directly from the
+tile card.
+
+<img class="no-shadow" alt="TODO: Replace." src="/images/blog/2025-03/temp-tile-card-switch-toggle.png" />
+
+#### Counter actions
+
+The second addition is a counter toggle. This allows you to increase or
+decrease a counter entity directly from the tile card.
+
+<img class="no-shadow" alt="TODO: Replace." src="/images/blog/2025-03/temp-tile-card-counter-actions.png" />
+
+### Tiny interaction improvements
+
+More tweaks to the tile card have been made to improve the interaction
+experience with them.
+
+For example, we now have nice tiny little animations when you hover over
+the tile card, making it more clear that it is interactive; but also when
+you tap the tile card, it will now show a little animation to indicate that
+the tap was registered.
+
+<video controls>
+  <source src="/images/blog/2025-03/temp-tile-card-micro-interactions.mp4" type="video/mp4">
+  Your browser does not support the video tag.
+</video>
+
+Another nice addition is that the tile card can now be interacted with
+by using your keyboard as well!
+
+<video controls>
+  <source src="/images/blog/2025-03/temp-tile-card-keyboard-navigation.mp4" type="video/mp4">
+  Your browser does not support the video tag.
+</video>
+
+### Editor improvements
+
+Not just the tile card itself has been improved, but also the editor for
+the tile card has been improved. It is now more clear and easier to use. 
+
+The new control give you a better overview of what the option will do for
+the tile card.
+
+<img class="no-shadow" alt="TODO: Replace." src="/images/blog/2025-03/temp-tile-card-editor.png" />
+
+## Assist chat now has streaming responses
+
+If you have hooked up an LLM, like ChatGPT, to your Assist as
+a conversation agent, it will now livestream the responses to you when
+you are chatting with it!
+
+When experimenting with larger models, or on slower hardware, LLM’s can feel
+sluggish. They only respond once the entire reply is generated, which can take
+frustratingly long for lengthy responses (you’ll be waiting a while if you ask
+it to tell you an epic fairy tale).
+
+We've added support for LLMs to stream their response to the chat, allowing you
+to start reading while the response is being generated. A bonus side effect is
+that commands are now also faster: they will be executed as soon as they come
+in, without waiting for the rest of the message to be complete.
+
+**TODO**: Insert clip from the voice livestream where this is shown.

+### Noteworthy improvements to existing integrations
+
+It is not just new {% term integrations %} that have been added; existing
+integrations are also being constantly improved. Here are some of the noteworthy
+changes to existing integrations:
+
+- [@MartinHjelmare] and [@Diegorro98] have been making great effort in bring
+  the [Home Connect integration] to the next level. Nice!
+- Got an [ESPHome] device that is acting up? [@bdraco] has added a new option
+  to the integration to let Home Assistant shadowlog the logs of the device.
+  Helpful!
+- The [OpenAI conversation integration] now supports the `o1`, `o1-preview`,
+  `o1-mini`, and `o3-mini` reasoning models. Thanks, [@Shulyaka]!
+- The [Shelly integration] now support th 4th generation of the Shelly Flood
+  sensor and support for Shelly script events entities. Thanks, [@chemelli74]
+  and [@wjtje]!
+- Support for the [Switchbot Remote] has been added to the
+  [Switchbot integration]. Thanks, [@awahlig]!
+- UniFi version 9 introduced zone based rules. These are now supported in the
+  [Unifi integration]. Thanks, [@Samywamy10]!
+- [@Galorhallen] has added support for effects in [Govee lights]. Nice!
+- [@joostlek] completely rewrote the [SmartThings] integration! In december, SmartThings shut down the authentication method that we used to use to connect with their platform. During the last 2 months we collaborated with SmartThings to get the integration up and running again. No more need to request a personal access token! You can just sign in using your Samsung account (like how you are used to with for example OneDrive). Another improvement we have done is that to get push updates, you don't need to expose your instance to the internet anymore!

+## Other noteworthy changes
+
+There are many more improvements in this release; here are some of the other
+noteworthy changes this release:
+
+- Ever upgraded Home Assistant and needed to do a hard refresh in your
+  browser to make it work again? That is now a thing of the past! Every
+  time your browser connects to Home Assistant, it will ensure your browser's
+  cache is up-to-date. Thanks, [@bramkragten]!
+- [@balloob] made a small change with a big impact. When you set up an
+  new integration for a new device, Home Assistant will now redirect you
+  to the device page after setting it up. Nice!
+- There is now an option to add an extra margin to the top of a section view.
+  Thanks, [@piitaya]!
+- The add/edit area dialog has been improved and compacted. They are
+  much more pleasant to use now. Thanks, [@jpbede]!
+- We now have a device class for the wind speed sensors! Thanks, [@edenhaus]!
+- [@jschlyter] has added the energy distance device class for sensors,
+  which supports the following units: `kWh/100mi`, `kWh/100km`, `mi/kWh`,
+  including conversion between them. Awesome!
+- Media player entities which support browsing media now have a new action
+  available to [browse media as an action with a response]. Thanks, [@PeteRager]!
+- [@rikroe] has added an action to [retrieve the configuration of a schedule
+  helper]. Thanks!

+
+## Iterating on the legends of graphs
+
+Last release, we made quite a big change to the charts by replacing the
+software we use to make these graphs in Home Assistant. Things changed,
+but our aim was to make it look and feel similar.
+
+However, we received a lot of feedback from the community that the legends
+shown on the new graphs were suboptimal. Our UX and frontend teams have
+been hard at work to improve this situation and make it look more similar
+to the old graphs legends.
+
+<img class="no-shadow" alt="TODO: Replace." src="/images/blog/2025-03/temp-graph-legend.png" />
+
+By default, we show the legend below the graph and show as many data points
+as possible. If there are too many, they will be displayed on demand using the
+little ellipsis button.
+
+When using these cards on the dashboard, and you prefer them to always be
+displayed, you can, of course, configure them to always display in the newly
+provided option.
+
+You can now also zoom in and out, by double clicking on a graph. If you want more control over the range you want to view in your graph, you can press the ctrl/cmd key and then select the range on the graph you want to zoom in on.
+
+## Grouping / clustering of trackables on the maps
+
+The map card in Home Assistant is a great way to visualize the location of
+your entities. However, when you have a lot of entities on the map, especially
+when they are in the same location, it can become a bit cluttered.
+
+This release improves the map card by adding marker clustering. This makes
+currently stacked entities visible as well. When spidered, the entity markers
+show a line to the original coordinates. Clustering can be disabled temporarily
+with a toggle.
+
+<img class="no-shadow" alt="TODO: Replace." src="/images/blog/2025-03/temp-marker-clustering.png" />
+
+Thanks [@jpbede] and [@marcinbauer85] for this awesome improvement!

+
+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 "GPSD" %}
+
+All state attributes of the main sensor have been replaced with dedicated
+sensor Home Assistant 2024.9. The deprecated attributes have now been removed.

+{% enddetails %}
+
+{% details "Home Connect" %}
+
+Some programs and program switches (which are being deprecated) and program
+select entities may not be exposed anymore by the integration as they are
+missing a `aiohomeconnect` program key enumeration ([file](https://github.com/MartinHjelmare/aiohomeconnect/blob/ccfbf802884aa781eef481da92e6bccd2e6de733/src/aiohomeconnect/model/program.py#L213C1-L507C6)).
+You can get the diagnostics from configuration entry or the device and open an
+issue or submit a PR with the generated diagnostics file on the
+[`aiohomeconnect` repository](https://github.com/MartinHjelmare/aiohomeconnect)
+to suggest the missing program(s).

+
+Multiple Home Connect config entries will not be allowed to be configured. For
+regular users where all appliances in the home are connected to the same Home
+Connect account, there should not be any reason to have more than one config
+entry since all appliances in the home will be connected to the same account
+and config entry.

+
+{% details "MQTT" %}
+
+ Legacy `color_mode` support for MQTT JSON lights has been removed. The support
+ was deprecated in HA Core 2024.4.
+
+Users with a YAML setup have been instructed to update their configuration in
+`configuration.yaml` via repair issue flow. Deprecation issues with MQTT JSON
+lights that were set up through discovery were communicated via warnings in
+the logs. Use of the removed parameters in discovery will not break
+the configuration, but will still log a warning.

+{% enddetails %}
+
+{% details "Proximity" %}
+
+The distance is now measured to the edge of the monitored zones (it takes the
+radius into account), instead of to the center of the zone as before. This leads
+to slightly different expected distance values, which you may have to adjust
+accordingly in your existing automations.

+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+{% details "SmartThings" %}
+
+The energy and power sensors have been removed for every device that has a
+switch. They rarely worked because there were no energy or power
+capabilities available to get data from. If you do have the capabilities,
+it will still work for you.
