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.

{% linkable_title How to use this add-on %}

  1. Just start the add-on.
  2. Wait (On a Raspberry Pi it can take several minutes).
  3. If you see the following output then you are good to go to update Home Assistant: [Info] Configuration check finished - no error found! :).

If you get errors, then you should look for Breaking Changes against the version you specified for this add-on and change your configuration accordingly.
