Thanks for another great release!
One thing bugs me in the year of the voice: newly added entities are exposed automatically to assist.
Therefore I made a feature request to make that optional.
If others find that useful, too, please vote here.

The âoldâ Nest API is supposed to go offline in September, yet after upgrading to 2023.8 the Nest integration wonât load anymore. Nothing is mentioned on the release notes, odd⌠Anyone else experiencing this?
Oof. Apparently it is listed in the full changelogs. I would have expected this in Breaking Changes.
I just got a weird issue. After the update all my TP link Power strip devices are linked together. So when i turn on/off a single plug all of them turn on/off.
Update this was resolved in 2023.8.1
Was a surprise to me as well. Is there a way to get my old Nest camera working again without going back to 2023.7 ?
UPDATE: It works again for me, in 2023.8
Updated for OPower integration, gave it my login info for Evergy and it is coming back with

Just want to get that feedback out asap for the dev 
great release!

Do we all try to create a image of a cat
Documentation seems rather incomplete. For example, how do I actually do the âplay {album} by {artist}â example? I set the trigger but how do I actually pick the media in the media play service? Also, I donât see any Event entities in MQTT - do these somehow start to appear orâŚ?
EDIT: following issue is just cosmetic
Also I haver absolutely no idea what to do with this, even after reading the link. Like am I supposed to rename dozens of devices??

Anyone else having issues with their KASA (TP-Link) KP200 devices not working correctly? I cannot control both sockets individually anymore.
yep same here. ⌠sometimes I wonder if the HA guys have an April 1st once a month inventing things which cause lots of work for simply nothing.
Naming entities by their device is more but just common and if not possible one must raise a request since that ensures to regonise them most easily.

That will be your personal billing limit. The Open AI integration is not for free
Really? Read the thread linked in the second post in this thread.

Thatâs weird as the Nest legacy folder has been removed from HASS 
Iâve been trying to get (at least) my Thermostat back to work using SDM but so far no luck. It pairs, but gives an error and then shows no devices.
Also have to see how I can get the Nest Protectâs back up.

Yep. Turn on 1 plug, it turns on the whole strip. Rendered most of my automations useless, had to restore from backup.
Hi Guys,
As always I went through the full changelog and again I am (as always) amazed by the shear amount of issues you guys have been handling. Really impressive! There is one I a missing though. The UOM âbugâ failing pass through at the Utility Meter integration. Next time 
But otherwise really impressive!
The camera responses are really much faster

Thanks for the release. But this change I donât fully understand. Suddenly my media controls are completely gone (not only âdisabledâ) when Spotify is inactive (which happens a lot) and my UI starts to jump up and down. GrrrâŚ
Itâs even worse. Same with all my Alexa/Echo devices. They are inactive most of the time by nature. Still I could and often wanted to control their volume. I could do so via the entities card. Until now. Now, no controls are shown when idle. This is not good.
Any chance to bring back the old behavior? Please âŚ
