Good morning, it's Sunday, November 8th, 2026.
The lead pattern today is reliability over features — making failures clearer and preventing invalid operations before they reach devices.
First, templates and core safety. A security fix in pull request 191115 stops the device attribute helper from exposing private device attributes to templates, closing a path where crafted template input could reach internals. Paired with that, pull request 190276 now logs which entities were involved when…
Second, climate correctness. Pull request 187891 changes BSB-LAN climate to report the active setpoint as its target, after extended discussion, so what you see matches what the boiler is actually using. Pull request 189946 blocks Nest temperature changes in Eco mode to follow Google's mode rules, and pull request…
Third, integration hygiene. iZone accounts for four changes — new wireless signal and battery sensors, coordinator-level outage logging, deprecation of the old airflow minimum and maximum actions in favor of per-zone number controls, and removal of an unused zone property. Sofar follows the same pattern, with pull…
What's next: if you maintain templates, audit for use of private…
