Good morning, this is your Home Assistant Daily briefing for January 13th, 2026.

LG-ThinQ-Integration merged a pull request adding target humidity step attributes to humidifier entities. This change allows customizable humidity adjustment steps in the frontend, specifically designed to support LG-based humidifiers. The modification adds 24 lines across five files in the humidifier component.

Several significant updates landed in the codebase. Erwin Douna enhanced the Portainer integration with a new button to prune unused Docker images. Klaas Schoute expanded the Powerfox integration to support gas meters alongside existing power monitoring. Glenn de Haan introduced a complete new HDFury integration for managing HDMI devices, adding config flow, coordinators, and multiple platform entities.

The development team processed multiple dependency updates. Michael Hansen bumped pysilero-vad to version 3.1.0 for the assist pipeline component, then reverted earlier voluptuous library updates. Puddly updated serialx to version 0.6.2 for ZHA and hardware components. Erik Montnemery upgraded python-otbr-api to version 2.7.1 for Thread and OpenThread Border Router support.

Brett Adams added missing translation strings to the Tessie integration for better localization support.

What's next: The HDFury integration adds another device category to Home Assistant's growing ecosystem. The humidity step controls improve user experience for climate device management.

That's your Home Assistant Daily briefing. We'll be back tomorrow with more development updates.
