Home Assistant 2025.5 🎉 Smarter backups with per-location retention, Z-Wave Long Range support, an improved entity picking experience, tons of new voices for Home Assistant Cloud, and the ability to just paste YAML directly into your automations. www.home-assistant.io/blog/2025/05...
Exciting update coming to @home-assistant.io. If you use templates in your automations or scripts, YAML will now fall back per field - no longer the entire block. Huge improvement 🚀. #homeAssistant
