Before I dive into the release, let me quickly catch you up on things you might have missed. There is a lot of cool stuff happening lately! We had a live stream about Assist: [**Voice chapter 9**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6VvzDSI8RU)! Here we announced [**Speech-to-Phrase**](/blog/2025/02/13/voice-chapter-9-speech-to-phrase/#voice-for-the-masses), a voice recognition technology that is blazing fast and super accurate, even on a Raspberry Pi! šŸš€ I'm also super stoked [about the announcement](/blog/2025/02/27/apollo-joins-wwha/) that [**Apollo Automation**](https://apolloautomation.com/) has joined the [**Works with Home Assistant**](https://partner.home-assistant.io) program šŸ„° And our friends at [**Music Assistant**](https://www.music-assistant.io/) have [**shipped their next big hit**](/blog/2025/03/05/music-assistants-next-big-hit/)! With awesome new features like Spotify Connect, Assist optimization, an equalizer, and podcast & audiobook support. šŸŽ¶ Great stuff, right? But this release today is also packed with amazing things! After a few releases [focusing on backups](/blog/2025/02/05/release-20252/), we are back with a release **packed** with new features and improvements, mostly **focusing on dashboards**! šŸ¤© The new abilities, the tile card's fine-tuning, and the dashboard view's new headers are really cool; I canā€™t wait to see screenshots of your dashboards with these new features! šŸ“ø Enjoy the release! ../Frenck - [Dashboard view headers](#dashboard-view-headers) - [Tile cards](#tile-cards) - [Making tile card interactions clearer](#making-tile-card-interactions-clearer) - [Position tile card features](#position-tile-card-features) - [New tile card features](#new-tile-card-features) - [Switch toggle](#switch-toggle) - [Counter actions](#counter-actions) - [Tiny interaction improvements](#tiny-interaction-improvements) - [Editor improvements](#editor-improvements) - [Assist chat now has streaming responses](#assist-chat-now-has-streaming-responses) - [Integrations](#integrations) - [New integrations](#new-integrations) - [Noteworthy improvements to existing integrations](#noteworthy-improvements-to-existing-integrations) - [SmartThings](#smartthings) - [Other noteworthy changes](#other-noteworthy-changes) - [Iterating on the legends of graphs](#iterating-on-the-legends-of-graphs) - [Grouping/clustering of trackables on the maps](#groupingclustering-of-trackables-on-the-maps) - [Patch releases](#patch-releases) - [2025.3.1 - March 7](#202531---march-7) - [2025.3.2 - March 11](#202532---march-11) - [2025.3.3 - March 14](#202533---march-14) - [2025.3.4 - March 21](#202534---march-21) - [Need help? Join the community!](#need-help-join-the-community) - [Backward-incompatible changes](#backward-incompatible-changes) - [All changes](#all-changes) ## Dashboard view headers This release brings a whole new look with the ability to add headers to your dashboards. This allows you to add a title and welcoming text to your dashboards using Markdown and even templates. Additionally, this gives you a lot of space for badges next to the header. As always, weā€™ve baked in a lot of customization, with the ability to align the header in multiple different ways. It comes with a responsive layout by default, but you can also set it to always be left-aligned or center-aligned. Screenshot showing the new header feature in the dashboard view. The badges can also be positioned below the text (default) or above the text. A great visual menu makes it easy to choose how you want to organize your header. ## Tile cards This release has made many improvements and fine touches to the tile card. It is one of the most versatile cards in Home Assistant, and we have made it even better! ### Making tile card interactions clearer There is no doubt the tile card can do a lot, but ever since its creation, it has had a little flaw that you might have run into yourselfā€¦ How would you know if tapping the icon on the tile card would trigger an action or whether it would just display more information? We have addressed this with some subtle visual language in this release! Screenshot showing tile cards with and without direct actions on their icons. The ones that do have a direct action have a circular background, others don't. When tapping the icon on the tile card directly performs an action, like for example, turning on a light, the icon will have a circular background around it. In all other cases, the little circle will not be displayed. Now you know! šŸ‘ ### Position tile card features Since [we added support for resizing cards](/blog/2024/07/03/release-20247/#resize-the-cards-on-your-dashboard), we gained the ability to make very wide tile cards. These cards have a lot of empty space surrounding them, which can be helpful at times. But what if you could do something useful with that space? Now you can! All features of a tile card can now be positioned inline in the tile card! Screenshot showcasing the new inline tile card features (versus the existing bottom feature This brings a completely new look and feel, which we are sure you will love! From the settings, you can add a feature, like a brightness slider, and position it either below (bottom) or to the right side of the icon (inline). {% note %} Only the first feature can be positioned inline; the rest will not be displayed. {% endnote %} ### New tile card features This release also ships with two new tile card features that can be added to your entities to provide new controls. [@jpbede] contributed these, so a big shout out to him! [@jpbede]: https://github.com/jpbede #### Switch toggle The first addition is one that is just surprising we didn't have it before: A switch toggle! This allows you to toggle a switch entity directly from the tile card. Screenshot showing the new tile card feature for switch entities. #### Counter actions The second addition is a counter toggle. This allows you to add a button to increase, decrease, or reset a counter entity directly from the tile card. Screenshot showing the new tile card feature for counter helper entities. ### Tiny interaction improvements More tweaks to the tile card have been made to improve their interaction experience. For example, we now have nice little animations when you hover over the tile card, making it more apparent that it is interactive. Still, when you tap the tile card, it will show a little animation to indicate that the tap was registered.

Another nice addition is that the tile card can now interact with your keyboard! Tab and shift + tab your way across the screen like the keyboard warrior you are. ### Editor improvements Not just the tile card itself has been improved, but also the editor for the tile card has been improved. It is now clearer and easier to use. The new control gives you a better overview of what the option will do for the tile card. Screenshot showing the brand new visual card editor that make it more visually clear what options do. ## Assist chat now has streaming responses If you have hooked up an LLM, like ChatGPT, to your Assist as a conversation agent, it will now livestream the responses to you when you are text chatting with it! When experimenting with larger models, or on slower hardware, LLMā€™s can feel sluggish. They only respond once the entire reply is generated, which can take frustratingly long for lengthy responses (youā€™ll be waiting a while if you ask it to tell you an epic fairy tale). We've added support for LLMs to stream their response to the text chat, allowing you to start reading while the response is being generated. A bonus side effect is that commands are now also faster: they will be executed as soon as they come in, without waiting for the rest of the message to be complete. There was quite a lot more to tell around Assist and the new voice features; in case you missed it, you can read all about it in this blog post: šŸ“° [Speech-to-Phrase brings voice home - Voice chapter 9](/blog/2025/02/13/voice-chapter-9-speech-to-phrase/) ## Integrations Thanks to our community for keeping pace with the new {% term integrations %} and improvements to existing ones!

Here are some of the noteworthy changes to existing integrations: - [@MartinHjelmare] and [@Diegorro98] have been putting in a lot of effort to bring the [Home Connect integration] to the next level. Nice! - Got an [ESPHome] device that is acting up? [@bdraco] has added a new option to the integration to let Home Assistant shadowlog the device logs. Helpful! - The [OpenAI conversation integration] now supports the `o1`, `o1-preview`, `o1-mini`, and `o3-mini` reasoning models. Thanks, [@Shulyaka]! - The [Shelly integration] now supports the 4th generation of the Shelly Flood sensors and added support for Shelly script events entities. Thanks, [@chemelli74] and [@wjtje]! - Support for the [Switchbot Remote] has been added to the [Switchbot integration]. Thanks, [@awahlig]! - UniFi version 9 introduced zone-based rules. These are now supported by [Unifi integration]. Thanks, [@Samywamy10]! - [@Galorhallen] has added support for effects in [Govee lights]. Nice!

No more setting up routing, exposing ports, or creating developer accounts with access tokensā€”**just log in with your Samsung account**, and youā€™re good to go! And thereā€™s more! Push updates now work without exposing your instance to the internet, making the experience faster, seamless, and more secure! šŸš€ A huge shoutout to our amazing community, who played a key role in this effort! šŸ’™ When [@joostlek] shared a guide on gathering test data, the community stepped upā€”sending in valuable test data that helped fine-tune the integration. This collaboration truly made a difference! [@joostlek]: https://github.com/joostlek [SmartThings]: /integrations/smartthings ## Other noteworthy changes There are many more improvements in this release; here are some of the other noteworthy changes this release: - Ever upgraded Home Assistant and needed to do a hard refresh in your browser to make it work again? We have been able to reduce the cases in which this happens! Thanks, [@bramkragten]! - [@balloob] made a small change with a big impact. When you set up a new integration for a new device, Home Assistant will now redirect you to the device page after setting it up. Nice! - There is now an option to add an extra margin to the top of a section view. Thanks, [@piitaya]! - The add/edit area dialog has been improved and compacted. They are much more pleasant to use now. Thanks, [@jpbede]! - We now have a device class for the wind direction sensors! Thanks, [@edenhaus]! - [@jschlyter] has added the energy distance device class for sensors, which supports the following units: `kWh/100mi`, `kWh/100km`, and `mi/kWh`, including conversion between them. Awesome! - Media player entities that support browsing media now have a new action available to [browse media as an action with a response]. Thanks, [@PeteRager]! - [@rikroe] has added an action to [retrieve the configuration of a schedule helper]. Thanks!

Things changed behind the scenes, but our aim to start was to make it look and feel similar. However, we received a lot of feedback from the community that the legends shown on the new graphs were suboptimal. Our UX and frontend teams have been working hard to improve this situation and make the new graph legends more similar to the old ones.
A screen recording showing expanding and collapsing the legend
By default, we show the legend below the graph and show as many data points as possible. If there are too many, they will be displayed on demand using the little ellipsis button. When using these cards on your dashboard, if you want to always show the full legend, a new option will allow you to keep it fully visible. You can now also zoom in and out, by double clicking on a graph. If you want more control over the range you want to view in your graph, you can press the ctrl/cmd key and then select the range on the graph you want to zoom in on. ## Grouping/clustering of trackables on the maps The map card is perfect for visualizing your entitiesā€™ locations, but when too many cluster together in the same spot, it can get a bit cluttered. To tackle this, weā€™ve introduced marker clustering, which groups nearby entities together, making it easier to see them at a glance. When zooming in, the markers ā€˜spiderā€™ out, showing individual entity locations with a connecting line to their original positions. You can temporarily disable clustering with a simple toggle. Thanks [@jpbede] and [@marcinbauer85] for this awesome improvement!
The map now nicely clusters the items on the same location. This animation shows the ability to expand the cluster of items.

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 "Automations & scripts" %} The `wait` variable and variables defined by a `response_variable` set in an inner scope of a script or automation now propagate to outer scopes also if a `variables` action is present in the inner scope. Furthermore, variables defined by a `response_variable` now also propagate out from `parallel` sequences. Scripts and automations which relied on the older (buggy) behavior might need to be adjusted.
