You can use this add-on to check whether your configuration files are valid against the new version of Home Assistant before you actually update your Home Assistant installation. This add-on will help you avoid errors due to breaking changes, resulting in a smooth update.

```json
{
  "version": "latest"
}
```

Configuration variables:

- **version** (*Required*): Version of Home Assistant that you plan to install.
