+## Introducing the Home dashboard
+
+**TODO: The story below needs replacement, and was written for beta usage**
+
+Over the past year, we have focused on dashboards and their capabilities a lot. The goal? Making dashboards easier to create and customize.
+
+With this release, we are introducing a brand-new Home dashboard. While previous releases brought the Areas dashboard to help you view and manage devices by area, the Home dashboard provides a complete overview of your home in a single place. It allows you to see your home by areas, access key aspects such as lights, climate, security, and media players, and includes widgets such as weather and energy at the bottom of the page.
+
+At this stage, configuration options are limited (for example, you can display favorite entities at the top), but more customization will be added in future releases. The goal of the Home dashboard is to become the main entry point when you start Home Assistant, with upcoming features designed to help you get started quickly, such as encouraging the creation of your first automation and notifying you about newly discovered devices.
+
+For now, the Home dashboard is considered experimental. It will not appear automatically and needs to be added manually if you want to try it out.
+
+Got feedback on it? [Join the #beta channel in our Discord chat server](/join-chat)!

+
+## Automation editor sidebar
+
+On the [Home Assistant roadmap of this year](/blog/2025/05/09/roadmap-2025h1/#and-thats-not-all-for-this-year), we have set the goal of making automations easier to create. We have lots of plans, have done tons of research at this point, and with this release... we are shipping the first bit of all the effort that is yet to come!
+
+This release tweaks the automation editor user interface experience, by introducing a sidebar!
+
+If you select an item in your automation, the settings of that selected item will be shown in a new sidebar that will pop up on the right side of your screen.
+
+<img class="no-shadow" alt="TODO: Replace screenshot" src="/images/blog/2025-09/temp-automation-sidebar.png" />
+
+This allows you to keep an overview of your automation on the left side of your screen, while you can tweak its behavior on the right. Of course, we have thought of smaller screens as well. On mobile, instead of the sidebar, a sheet at the bottom will pop up.
+
+Besides the sidebar, we have made tons of other little improvements as well. Tiny layout and styling changes that you definitely will notice and are helping with the overall readability. For example, small lines and borders around grouped elements have been added, making it easier to distinguish between different parts of your automation.
+
+## New tile card features
+
+The [tile card](/dashboards/tile/) might as well be the most versatile card we have in our arsenal
+of [cards for our dashboards](/dashboards/).
+
+Tile cards have a thing called "features", which are small additions you can add to them, for example, a slider to control the brightness of a light the card controls. And those features have been extended quite a bit this release by several people.
+
+### History chart
+
+An absolute banger of an addition to the tile card features was created by [@MindFreeze] this release: The history chart feature.
+
+This feature adds a handy quick graph to the tile card, showing the history of a specific entity over time. For this initial version, the time window shown is 24 hours.
+
+<img class="no-shadow" alt="TODO: Replace screenshot" src="/images/blog/2025-09/temp-tile-feature-history-chart.png" />
+
+[@MindFreeze]: https://github.com/MindFreeze
+
+### Fan direction and oscillation controls
+
+Thanks to [@pcan08] we now have a tile card feature to control fan direction and oscillation!
+
+<img class="no-shadow" alt="TODO: Replace screenshot" src="/images/blog/2025-09/temp-tile-feature-fan-direction.png" />
+
+<img class="no-shadow" alt="TODO: Replace screenshot" src="/images/blog/2025-09/temp-tile-feature-fan-oscillation.png" />
+
+[@pcan08]: https://github.com/pcan08
+
+### Buttons
+
+Thanks to [@dhoeben] we now have a tile card feature for buttons! He added these buttons for automation, script, and button entities. The text can be changed to display standard button text or custom text.
+
+<img class="no-shadow" alt="TODO: Replace screenshot" src="/images/blog/2025-09/temp-tile-feature-button.png" />
+
+[@dhoeben]: https://github.com/dhoeben
+
+### Valve open/close and position controls
+
+Thanks to [@timmo001] we now have a tile card feature to control the open/close and the position of valves.
+
+<img class="no-shadow" alt="TODO: Replace screenshot" src="/images/blog/2025-09/temp-tile-feature-valve-controls.png" />
+
+[@timmo001]: https://github.com/timmo001
+
+### Setting the date
+
+[@timmo001] continued and also added a new tile card feature to support date and datetime entities (including the input datetime helpers). It allows you to set a feature that allows for setting a date.
+

+This is a huge achievement for these integrations and their maintainers. The
+effort and dedication required to reach these quality levels is significant,
+as it involves extensive testing, documentation, error handling, and often
+complete rewrites of parts of the integration.
+
+A big thank you to all the contributors involved! 👏
+
+### Now available to set up from the UI
+
+While most {% term integrations %} can be set up directly from the Home Assistant
+user interface, some were only available using YAML configuration. We keep moving
+more integrations to the UI, making them more accessible for everyone
+to set up and use.
+
+The following integration is now available via the Home Assistant UI:

+
+## Other noteworthy changes
+
+There are many more improvements in this release; here are some of the other noteworthy changes:
+
+- Based on feature requests from the community, all modern [template entity] syntax now supports setting a default entity ID directly in YAML. Thanks [@Petro31] for implementing that!
+- Home Assistant now supports `m³/min` as a volume flow rate unit. Nice addition [@fetzerch]!
+- Our voice guy [@synesthesiam] has been busy with some great QoL improvements this release as well.
+  - The intent handling for the default agent (non-LLM) now supports fuzzy matching. The technique ensures voice pipelines recognize many more sentences. This improvement is available for English only, while we are looking for ways to extend this to other languages.
+  - We now have built-in intents to control the volume of (active) media players! Like the song? Just ask Home Assistant to turn it up a notch!
+  - After all that dancing, you might have gotten a little warm. Hence in this release, we now also have intents to control fan speeds. Nice!

+### Analog clock
+
+In [Home Assistant 2025.4, we introduced the clock card](/blog/2025/04/02/release-20254/#time-for-a-new-card!), which provides a digital clock display for your dashboards.
+
+For this release, [@timmo001] made this card more feature-rich by adding support for displaying the clock in a customizable analog clock style. Nice!

+
+### Storage insights
+
+Disk almost full? You might wonder where your storage space has gone...
+
+This release adds disk metrics to the storage configuration panel, giving you a glance at your disk usage and helping you identify what is taking up space.
+
+<img class="no-shadow" alt="TODO: Replace screenshot" src="/images/blog/2025-09/temp-disk-metrics.png" />
+
+You can find these metrics by navigating to **Settings** > **System** > **Storage**, or by selecting the My Home Assistant button down below.

+## Backward-incompatible changes
+
+We do our best to avoid making changes to existing functionality that might unexpectedly impact your Home Assistant installation. Unfortunately, sometimes, it is inevitable.
+
+We always make sure to document these changes to make the transition as easy as
+possible for you. This release has the following backward-incompatible changes:
+
+{% details "Encoding units containing the μ character" %}
+
+The encoding for some units that contain the μ character has been changed. Users that consume state data from sensors that have changed units will be impacted (such as exported state data to InfluxDB). The units with a changed encoding are:
+
+- `μSv/h` for the `aranet` integration as a unit for radiation rate
+- `μS/cm` for `UnitOfConductivity.MICROSIEMENS_PER_CM`
+- `μV` for `UnitOfElectricPotential.MICROVOLT`
+- `μg/ft³`  for concentration in migrograms per cubic foot
+- `μg/m³` for concentration in migrograms per cubic meter
+- `μmol/s⋅m²` for the `fyta` integration as a unit for light
+- `μg` for `UnitOfMass.MICROGRAMS`
+- `μs` for `UnitOfTime.MICROSECONDS`

+
+{% details "SwitchBot Bluetooth" %}
+
+The battery property on vacuum entities is being removed in Home Assistant. Therefore, this property is now removed from this integration and is replaced by a battery level sensor.
+
+Please review your automations, scripts, and dashboards using the battery property and update the code to use the battery sensor instead.

+
+{% details "Yale August" %}
+
+The August integration now uses OAuth authentication with Yale August's official API. This is a required one-time breaking change as the unofficial authentication method will stop working soon. This migration helps reduce unnecessary load on Yale August's servers while ensuring continued access for all users.
+
+When you update Home Assistant, you'll be prompted to re-authenticate your August account:
+
+1. Select the notification or go to **Settings** → **Devices & Services** → **August**
+2. Select "Reconfigure" and follow the OAuth flow to sign in
+3. Once authenticated, your devices will work exactly as before
+
+We're grateful to Yale August for officially supporting Home Assistant with dedicated API access!
