Good morning, this is Home Assistant Daily for February 10th, 2026.
Yesterday saw significant infrastructure improvements with multiple template platform updates. Petro31 merged several breaking changes updating template components to the new entity framework. The template light platform received a major overhaul, reducing code by over 300 lines while modernizing the underlying architecture. Similar updates were applied to template fan, weather, and update platforms, all part of an ongoing effort to standardize Home Assistant's template system.
Bre77 fixed a critical issue in the Tesla Fleet integration where partner registration was failing due to incorrect regional server selection. The fix now registers partners on both North American and European servers, resolving "Unable to Grant Third-Party Access" errors that were preventing virtual key installation.
Matter platform development continued with lboue adding temperature calibration support for all Matter thermostats and expanding test coverage for smoke detectors. The changes enable a new "Temperature Offset" number entity for better thermostat accuracy.
Several other notable merges include cdnninja adding a drying mode switch to VeSync humidifiers, XHyperDEVX making OpenAI reasoning summaries configurable, and epenet implementing stricter validation for light color modes that will catch integration bugs earlier.
ElCruncharino resolved a blocking issue in AsyncIteratorReader that was causing infinite waits after stream exhaustion, and boralyl increased Todoist's task pagination to prevent timeout errors.
Additional commits included dependency updates for the AOSmith integration and performance optimizations for the TP-Link Omada controller limiting concurrent actions.
What's next: Template platform migration continues with more components expected to move to the new framework. The Tesla Fleet fixes should resolve setup issues for users in mismatched OAuth regions.
That's your Home Assistant Daily update. Back tomorrow with more development news.
