Home Assistant has rolled out update 2024.12, marking its latest monthly version for the open-source smart home automation platform. This update introduces a variety of new functionalities and enhancements for its users.
Scene Editor Enhancements
The change log reveals that the scene editor has seen significant improvements with the addition of two new modes: review mode and edit mode. In review mode, users can inspect and modify settings without triggering the scene. On the other hand, edit mode functions like the previous version, automatically activating the scene so users can view their modifications instantly. New integrations have also been added for Acaia coffee scales, Music Assistant, and Sky Remote. Furthermore, there’s now a download snapshot button, durations are shown in a timer format, and several new units of measurement have been introduced.
Upcoming Features and Patch Releases
Moreover, Home Assistant hinted at exciting new voice control features, set to be revealed during a live stream on YouTube scheduled for December 19th. The complete change log can be accessed on the Home Assistant website. There have been three follow-up patch releases, with the latest being version 2024.12.3, which includes various bug fixes.
