HA (.8) started at ~01:10, now ~01:41.
Many entities have been changed between 01:10 & 01:41 - yet only these 6 entities have some “modified” property.
This MAY mean that this “modified” is not same as “last-changed/last-updated”.
Somehow only these 6 entities were “modified” on HA start.
Have to guess since there is no official description about these new “created/modified” properties.
Created a new input_number from UI at ~01:50.
It was added to the Entities table:
Then opened more-info & changed “step”, “max”, “entity_id” - and the entity is NOT “modified”.
So, “modified” is not about changing a state, not about changing settings.
Then what does “modified” means ? ))))
I’m not sure why you are calling it new? I have used badges in the top row for many years. What is new is the entity and mushroom addition to the badge and all the features that were added in this release. I have been playing with the different properties since beta.0 and find it very useful for some of my dashboards. It allows you to see at a glance what is going on with critical items in your home.
Mine took awhile during beta. I’m sure it depends on size (as Tom mentioned) and hardware you are running on. I wish there was a percentage done while running, but that would most likely slow it down.
Seems like the zha configuration for OTA has changed but there is no updated documentation for it. This warning is logged

checkout this issue. It looks like the dev noticed some issues with certain protocols and the missing special characters and updated the handling in the integration. It probably should have been in breaking changes. You can create a new admin account and use it to authenticate with HA so you don’t have to sign out of any other systems
Is there a way to update to 2024.8 but keep the old badges? The new badge style rendered mine completely unusable. When I updated, the badges that show me and my wife’s locations just said the location, not who it was, the 3 different temperatures just showed the temp but not what the temp was for, and the rest of them just became a bunch of numbers with no way of of knowing what each of them was for. I did see where I could make it show the entity name and then the entity state, but then they all became a mile long and looked even worse than the default 2024.8 style.
Even with adding shortened names, the old version is miles better and more legible. With the new version, you have to look for the numbers of the measurements the blend in with the text that’s the same size and font. Before, the numbers you were looking for stood out plainly with small font under it to give more context as to what the reading was for.
Has anyone noticed time sensors (e.g. those provided by Google’s travel time integration) are no longer respecting the default precision? In the entity config, I have the default selected, which should be minutes only. However, the rendered value includes seconds as well. I can manually update it to the desired precision, but I have a bunch of time sensors and don’t think I should need to update them if the default precision was actually being respected.
Yeah, for the last few releases it gets stuck on me as well and just stutters in place. This is on my Samsung s23 Ultra in the Firefox for Android browser.
Actually, the last two I had the issue but I can’t reproduce it today.
Noticed a strange glitch.
I am not using labels, just have 4…5 labels for testing - and they WERE associated with some testing helpers.
In 2024.8 this association mysteriously disappeared - i.e. these helpers are not associated with labels.
