What's new in Home Assistant 2025.9: Modern dashboards, smarter automation, and richer integrations for your home

1. New experimental Home dashboard

The September release brings the first iteration of a completely new main dashboard – the experimental “Home dashboard”. The design is focused on speed, clarity and easy navigation between lights, multimedia, security and climate. Advanced users will appreciate the robust management options, while newcomers will find the dashboard easier to get started with Home Assistant. Favorite entities or people can now be pinned to the top as “Favorites” and the home can be visualized by room in the home. Configuration options will gradually expand with further development.

2. Improved Automation Editor: New Sidebar

Automations are now much clearer – the settings for the selected item open in the right sidebar, so you can adjust the parameters while the entire automation process is still at hand on the left. On mobile devices, a clear pop-up window appears instead of the bar. There are also minor visual adjustments, such as bordering blocks and better separation of individual parts. Drag-and-drop is now available on mobile for convenient moving of items.

3. Improved tile cards with trending charts, battery measurement and more features

The most used dashboard element – ​​the tile card – gains new capabilities:

• Trend charts: Displays the history of the selected entity over the last 24 hours directly in the card.

• Bar gauge: A new type of visualization, for example for battery status in percentage.

• Support for controlling media, fans, valves, date, direction of rotation, and more.
  Users get an instant overview of the development and status of the device.

4. New integrations and improvements to existing ones

• Aladdin Connect: Control your Genie garage door directly from your dashboard.

6.  Changes affecting backward compatibility

• Changed encoding of units with the μ character – adjust connections to external services such as InfluxDB.

• Removed some fields in integrations (for example, raw_value in 1-Wire).

• Some integrations require new authentication or settings updates.

7.  Analog clock

From this version, in addition to the digital clock, you can also add an analog clock.

8. Storage Full Tab 

This release adds disk metrics to the storage configuration panel, allowing you to see usage at a glance and helping you identify what's taking up space.
