The focus is on simplified dashboard creation, more powerful automations, and significantly expanded infrared support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Home Assistant dashboards are becoming easier to create.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">One of the biggest changes concerns the dashboard editor. Previously, when adding new maps, users first had to decide which map type to use. This was often confusing for beginners. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-dominant-color=\"dbdadb\" data-has-transparency=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"897\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/new-card-picker1-1024x897.png\" alt=\"Home Assistant dashboards are becoming easier to create.\" class=\"wp-image-4557 has-transparency\" style=\"--dominant-color: #dbdadb; aspect-ratio:1.1415887362076773;width:735px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/new-card-picker1-1024x897.png 1024w, https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/new-card-picker1-300x263.png 300w, https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/new-card-picker1-768x673.png 768w, https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/new-card-picker1-14x12.png 14w, https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/new-card-picker1.png 1136w\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Home Assistant version 2026.6 introduces a new &quot;By Entity&quot; mode. Instead of selecting a card first, the user selects a device or entity. Home Assistant then automatically suggests suitable cards and displays a preview. This makes creating new dashboards significantly more intuitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weather and media maps receive new features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The popular tile-based maps will also be further expanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"> Weather maps can now display temperature and precipitation forecasts directly within the map.

New features include mute, shuffle, repeat, and the ability to customize the control layout. This allows for more flexible control of media players directly from the dashboard.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The automation editor will be significantly more user-friendly.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The automation editor also receives numerous improvements. The new status indicators for conditions are particularly useful. Home Assistant now shows directly whether a condition is currently met or not, making it much easier to identify errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Other new features include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Display of actually monitored entities on scope triggers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Search function for triggers and conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Note fields for individual triggers, conditions, and actions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Improved error messages for YAML indentation errors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Especially in more complex automation systems, these improvements should significantly simplify troubleshooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Infrared can now also receive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">After in <a href=\"https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/en\/home-assistant-2026-4-infrared-automations-and-ui\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/home-assistant-2026-4-infrarot-automationen-und-ui\/\">Home Assistant 2026.4<\/a> Having first introduced native infrared support, Home Assistant is now taking the next step. With version 2026.6, compatible IR devices can not only send signals but also receive them. This allows traditional remote controls to be used as triggers for automations. At the same time, the device status remains better synchronized between the remote control and Home Assistant. This opens up new integration possibilities, especially for televisions and air conditioners.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-affiliatex-product-table\" id=\"affiliatex-pdt-table-style-block-90c6d18c-aab6-4e26-aab2-41187009e359\">\n\t<div class=\"affx-pdt-table-container--free affx-block-admin layout-3\">\n\t\t<div class=\"affx-pdt-table-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"affx-pdt-table-single\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"affx-pdt-img-wrapper\">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/61weEYWcmUL._AC_SL1500_1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full not-transparent\" alt=\"SwitchBot Hub Mini Smart Remote Control - IR Transmitter System\" style=\"--dominant-color: #eae4dd;height: auto\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" data-dominant-color=\"eae4dd\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"affx-pdt-content-wrap\">\n\t\t<div class=\"affx-content-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"affx-pdt-name\">SwitchBot Hub Mini Smart IR<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"affx-rating-wrap\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"affx-pdt-desc\">\t<p class=\"affiliatex-content\">Connects to Wi-Fi, air conditioning control, compatible with Alexa, Google Home, Siri, IFTTT (White)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"affx-pdt-button-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"affx-btn-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"affx-btn-inner\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PKgI9j\" class=\"affiliatex-button secondary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\n\t\t\t\tView in shop*\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-affiliatex-product-table\" id=\"affiliatex-pdt-table-style-block-175796f9-ae90-4b1a-9d84-60f25d276850\">\n\t<div class=\"affx-pdt-table-container--free affx-block-admin layout-3\">\n\t\t<div class=\"affx-pdt-table-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"affx-pdt-table-single\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"affx-pdt-img-wrapper\">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/71re-xHhHyL._AC_SL1500_1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full not-transparent\" alt=\"SwitchBot Hub Mini Matter, Intelligent IR Blaster Hub\" style=\"--dominant-color: #ebe7e4;height: auto\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" data-dominant-color=\"ebe7e4\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"affx-pdt-content-wrap\">\n\t\t<div class=\"affx-content-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"affx-pdt-name\">SwitchBot Hub Mini with IR and Matter<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"affx-rating-wrap\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"affx-pdt-desc\">\t<p class=\"affiliatex-content\">Compatible with Alexa\/Google Home\/Apple Home, controls air conditioners and IR devices via app or voice, connects SwitchBot devices, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"affx-pdt-button-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"affx-btn-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"affx-btn-inner\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4m6jnWM\" class=\"affiliatex-button secondary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\n\t\t\t\tView in shop*\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improvements for Z-Wave locks and Matter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">There are also new developments in the area of smart locks and Matter. Z-Wave door locks now feature integrated user and access data management directly within Home Assistant with version 2026.6. This allows users to manage PIN codes and access data without relying on the lock manufacturer&#039;s app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f1f1f2\" data-has-transparency=\"true\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f1f1f2;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1004\" height=\"746\" src=\"https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/zwave-credential-management1.png\" alt=\"The new &quot;Manage Access&quot; function on the device page of a compatible Z-Wave lock provides access to...\" class=\"wp-image-4561 size-full has-transparency\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/zwave-credential-management1.png 1004w, https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/zwave-credential-management1-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/zwave-credential-management1-768x571.png 768w, https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/zwave-credential-management1-16x12.png 16w, https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/zwave-credential-management1-136x102.png 136w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1004px) 100vw, 1004px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">About the new feature <strong>\u201e&quot;Manage access&quot;\u201c<\/strong> On the device page of a compatible Z-Wave lock, users can see an overview of all registered users and their login credentials. New users can be created, and existing permissions can be edited or removed. If an attempt is made to reuse a PIN code that has already been used, Home Assistant warns the user instead of silently overwriting existing login credentials.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Communication takes place directly between Home Assistant and the lock via the Z-Wave network. A cloud connection, manufacturer&#039;s app, or internet connection is not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Compared to the existing Matter solution, the Z-Wave variant offers additional features.
