Hello, it's October 22nd, 2026.
The lead story is scale, not features. The core repository merged two sweeping hygiene campaigns that touched almost every integration, alongside a small set of targeted reliability fixes.
First, test strictness. Contributor G. Johansson landed eighteen batches — for example PR 187807 and PR 187837 — to return None from config entry method mocks in integration tests. The work links to issues 187778 and 182683. The impact for developers is maintainability: mocks will no longer silently return a magic…
Second, import hygiene. Contributor E. Penet landed eight related cleanups — for example PR 187784 and PR 187789 — to import names from their source modules across integrations A through Z, plus homekit controller. This does not change behavior, but it reduces indirect imports and future breakage when internal…
Third, user-facing reliability. For UniFi, PR 187901 adds a central connection manager to handle cases where the network application restarts, starts slowly, or rejects requests independently. Companion PR 187782 fixes config flow errors for M F A accounts, login rate limits, and site request errors that previously…
