That didn't stop anybody from stuffing this release with many great improvements! As the release title most fittingly puts it, most features of this release show up in dialogs. New dialogs, restyled dialogs, new features that appear in dialogs, and all sorts of new dialogues you can have with Assist. Something with "dialogs" all over these release notes! Besides dialogs, this release brings in three new integrations, updates to Thread and Matter, and quite an impressive list of other noteworthy changes. My personal favorite in this release is, undoubtedly, the all-new restart dialog. It brings in proper choice, less navigation, and it looks slick! I am genuinely really loving and enjoying the result. 🤩 Enjoy the release! ../Frenck - [Restarting Home Assistant](#restarting-home-assistant) - [Asking Assist for the current state of things](#asking-assist-for-the-current-state-of-things) - [Cleaner entity information dialogs](#cleaner-entity-information-dialogs) - [New dialogs for lights, switches and siren entities](#new-dialogs-for-lights-switches-and-siren-entities) - [Sensor display precision](#sensor-display-precision) - [New create automation dialog](#new-create-automation-dialog) - [Thread \& Matter](#thread--matter) - [Python 3.11 support](#python-311-support) - [Other noteworthy changes](#other-noteworthy-changes) - [New Integrations](#new-integrations) - [Release 2023.3.1 - March 2](#release-202331---march-2) - [Release 2023.3.2 - March 8](#release-202332---march-8) - [Release 2023.3.3 - March 9](#release-202333---march-9) - [Release 2023.3.4 - March 13](#release-202334---march-13) - [Release 2023.3.5 - March 16](#release-202335---march-16) - [Release 2023.3.6 - March 22](#release-202336---march-22) - [Need help?

Home Assistant can be restarted, reloaded, rebooted, and powered off; it quickly became unclear what to use and when. We've come up with a solution inspired by the good old Windows XP computer turn-off screen. [@matthiasdebaat] made a UX that has been implemented by [@piitaya] that will hopefully make this all better, more clear. Screenshot showing the new restart dialog of Home Assistant that provides a guidance on what action to take. Nice, right? 🤩 What is entirely new is the first item shown: "Quick reload". Quick reload calls all active integrations in your system that support reloading YAML configuration on the fly 🚀. This means all integrations individually listed as reloadable under the YAML tab in the developer tools are reloaded simultaneously! Also, [@frenck] made quick reload available as a {% my developer_call_service service="homeassistant.reload_all" title="service" %}, so you can automate with it. Lastly, another place for finding it more easily; the option to restart has also been added to the three-dotted overflow menu in the top right of the settings screen. [@frenck]: https://github.com/frenck [@matthiasdebaat]: https://github.com/matthiasdebaat [@piitaya]: https://github.com/piitaya ## Asking Assist for the current state of things This release updates Assist with the capability to ask for the state of things around your home. For example: Screenshot showing the assist conversation dialog demonstrating new intents to get the state of things in your home. Intents for three types of questions have been added: - Ask for the state of a single entity: - _"What is the outside temperature?"_ - _"Is the front door locked?"_ - _"What is the power consumption in the office?"_ - Any or all questions: - _"Are any lights on in the bedroom?"_ - _"Are all windows closed in the kitchen?"_ - How many or which questions: - _"How many lights are on in the office?"_ - _"Which doors are open?"_ Thanks, [@synesthesiam] for implementing this, and thanks to language leaders and contributors for helping out providing translations for all these [intents]! ❤️ Want to help with adding support for these intents in your language? Please do! Read more about [contributing sentences in our documentation](https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/voice/intent-recognition/contributing). [@synesthesiam]: https://github.com/synesthesiam [intents]: https://github.com/home-assistant/intents ## Cleaner entity information dialogs The entity information dialog (also known as the more-info dialog) got some nice improvements in this release. Screenshot showing the new entity information dialogs, highlighting the top bar changes. The "Info", "History", "Settings", and "Related" tabs have been removed, which gives the dialog a much cleaner look. Icons for settings and history have been added in the top right to replace these tabs. The new three-dotted overflow menu can bring up related entity information and provides a direct link to the device dashboard of the device that provided this entity. Nice job [@matthiasdebaat] and [@piitaya]! [@matthiasdebaat]: https://github.com/matthiasdebaat [@piitaya]: https://github.com/piitaya ## New dialogs for lights, switches and siren entities There is more to tell about this release's more-info dialogs. [@matthiasdebaat] and [@piitaya] have been working on the designs shared [during the State of the Open Home 2022](https://www.youtube.com/live/D936T1Ze8-4?feature=share&t=5193). This release brings in the first overhauls to the entity dialogs of light, switch, and siren entities. Screenshots showing the new entity more-info dialogs for a light, a switch and a switch with an assumed state. The new dialogs are nice and clean. The new sliders and buttons work absolutely magnificent on both desk and mobile. For the brightness slider, you can drag it all down without turning the light off, making it possible to dim your light to even the lowest point. In case of a light, additional controls for turning on/off, color (temperature), and effects appear right below the slider. In the top right, you'll find the new controls that come with the cleaner look we discussed in the previous paragraph. [@matthiasdebaat]: https://github.com/matthiasdebaat [@piitaya]: https://github.com/piitaya ## Sensor display precision Got a sensor that has too many decimals in its numeric value? Would you like to display it rounded to a single or maybe even no decimals? Just ~~create a template sensor~~ change it directly from the UI! Screenshot showing you can now set the numerical precision of a sensor entity value shown in the UI from the entity settings dialog. Thanks [@emontnemery] for building out this feature! This has also been extended into integrations, which now can provide a more precise value while suggesting to, show it with less precision by default. This allows you to change it if you don't like the defaults. You can also take advantage of the configured precision when writing templates, as the `states()` function has been extended to help with that. You can find more information on [formatting sensor states in the templating documentation](/docs/configuration/templating/#formatting-sensor-states). [@emontnemery]: https://github.com/emontnemery ## New create automation dialog Let's continue the dialogs theme this release! As [@piitaya] also gave the dialog you see when you create a new automation, a facelift! You can now quickly find and pick a Blueprint to use for your automation or create one from scratch. The overall look and feel is much more modern, and fits our current design better. Screenshot showing the improved createnew automation dialogs, which allows easily starting a new automation from a blueprint or from scratch. You may notice it now shows author information in this dialog. If you create Blueprints, you can now add [author information] to your Blueprint, which will be shown in this dialog. [@piitaya]: https://github.com/piitaya [author information]: /docs/blueprint/schema/#author ## Thread & Matter Behind the scenes, a lot is happening; adding, extending and improving Thread & Matter support for Home Assistant. A couple of weeks ago, we published [an extensive blog article on where we're at](/blog/2023/02/08/state-of-matter-and-thread/). Some of the features mentioned in that blog post will become available today. The most visual change is that the [Thread integration](/integrations/thread) will now show up on your devices & services dashboard. The "Configure" button on the Thread card will reveal the all-new Thread panel. Screenshot of the all new Thread panel, giving insight into your Thread network(s). The Thread panel lets you view your Thread network(s) and provides controls to add an OpenThread border router. More importantly, an option to download diagnostics has been added in the three-dotted menu in the top right. This will help with finding, triaging, and fixing issues as the development on Thread continues. As for Matter, it now supports connecting to Matter bridges! So, you can now connect, for example, your Hue hub over Matter!

Screenshot showing the Home Assistant Matter integration card, with lots of devices and entities; brought in by Hue bridges. Two Philips Hue bridges connected using Matter, and it is fast!

Although, if you want to connect your Hue hub, we of course recommend using the dedicated [Hue integration](/integrations/hue), which will provide a much more stable and feature rich solution. Nevertheless, having bridge support is a huge milestone! Adding a Matter device is now also more logical. Just add a new device from the Devices & Services page, just like how you would add any other device or integration to Home Assistant. Oh! Let's not forget about [@ArturoGuerra], who added support for color lights to Matter! Thanks! [@ArturoGuerra]: https://github.com/ArturoGuerra ## Python 3.11 support Support for Python 3.11 is here! 🐍 This change is only interesting if you manually run Home Assistant directly in Python (the Home Assistant Core installation method). If that is the case, you can now start using Home Assistant with Python 3.11, which should dramatically improve performance over previous Python versions. We are also working on upgrading to Python 3.11 for our Home Assistant OS, Supervised, and Container installation methods so we can provide the same performance improvements. We'll keep you posted. ## Other noteworthy changes There is much more juice in this release; here are some of the other noteworthy changes this release: - You can now change the unit of measurement for a sensor that provides power readings. So, if you like your kW sensor to be displayed as W, that is now possible. Thanks, [@emontnemery]! - All [contributed translations] are now automatically updated with each release! This includes patch releases. Thanks, [@frenck]. - Faster it is! [@bdraco] keeps improving the performance, and this release is no exception! The statistics should be almost instant now, which is notable on the energy dashboard. Lots of MQTT-related performance improvements too! - The statistic graph card can now hide the legend, nice and clean [@piitaya]! - You can now use templates in the `for` parameter of [state conditions]. Thanks, [@emontnemery]! - Our (opt-in only) {% my analytics %} will now include the database engine and version you use with your recorder. This helps us making database-related decisions and improvements. Thanks, [@ludeeus]! - [@marcelveldt] added support for Smart Scenes (Natural Light) to the [Philips Hue] integrations. Nice! - If your [ONVIF] camera supports it, it will now provide switch entities for auto-focus, wiper, and IR lights. Thanks, [@partofthething]! - The input select helper first, last, previous, and next services are now also available on select entities, thanks [@frenck]. - It looks like [@jesserockz] took a small break from [ESPHome] to implement support for the SwitchBot Blind Tilt to the [SwitchBot] integration. Thank you! - The [OpenAI Conversation] integration now has options to customize it to your liking, thanks [@bendews]! - [@marcolivierarsenault] added support for [ecobee] ventilator, awesome! - The [Reolink] integration now provides entities to update the firmware of your camera, control zoom, and control auto-focus. Thanks [@starkillerOG]! - [KNX] Data Secure support is added, and importing your Keyfile to use it is now super easy. Just upload it from your browser when configuring it in Home Assistant. Awesome [@farmio]! - [@thecode] added support for [Shelly] Pro 3EM energy sensors, nice! - [ScreenLogic] now supports local push updates for almost all entities. Thanks [@dieselrabbit]!
