Not sure how much it matters, but the link to the release notes goes to the rc.home-assistant.io site as of this post.
Thanks frenck

Is there any sort of sensor included that shows the last backup? That would be lovely.

The new backup settings are great. Well done!
I have one suggestion - allow external backup locations to hold more than the internal backup quantity -configurable by the user, eg with 3 configured backups max stored on HA it should allow more than 3 to be stored in OneDrive/GoogleDrive etc

I’m glad that setting temperature on a thermostat was added, just because I was feeling crazy when it wasn’t working last night lol. I even checked the github test commands and saw exactly what I was saying and that it was supported (I’m guessing in preparation for today’s release), but couldn’t get the same phrases to work in the dev tools.
Now it all makes sense
I like to see progress on the HA Voice PE. But did you ever officially support voice using ESPHome, especially on the M5Stack Echo? I guess many people bought that device for use with HA voice and it has open issues for building for a month now: Unable to compile for M5Stack Atom Echo · Issue #286 · esphome/firmware · GitHub. While there are workarounds, it would be nice if something you even have a tutorial on ($13 voice assistant for Home Assistant - Home Assistant) would actually work out of the box as it is supposed to.

Great release! I hope someone will also create a Nextcloud integration for backups.
What I miss is the ability to keep older backups, in case I don’t realize in time that something broke. This might be solved by simply saving the configuration files, which should be really small.
This could also lead to the possibility of having some kind of config history. I tend to keep old automations in case my new approach doesn’t turn out to be better. These usually get forgotten and never deleted.
I used to have a self-hosted git backup, but it stopped working, though I really liked the history it provided. If ever implemented, it could potentially be added to the automation/script pages themselves.
Edit: I seem to be having problems downloading backups. They fail after downloading 1-1.5GB (tried five times to different locations).

Sooo, there was a lot of heat during the last update feedback thread. I just wanted to chime in and say thanks for the changes that were made based on this feedback. They addressed a lot of the critique (if not all of it).
Also: Very glad the graphs are getting some attention. Integrated Grafana graphs just aren’t an ideal solution.
Keep up the good work!

Anyone else having issues with zooming on the graphs?
When I try to zoom it locks the whole browser/page for quite some time. It does get back controllable after quite a while, but I am pretty sure it was smooth last release.

Great stuff, basically all the criticism against the new backup-system was fixed. Great release.
The one thing I keep having issues with is that my backups are massive these days and I’ve no idea why. It would be awesome if there was some form of file size / tree analysis to give you an idea where you might be backing up unnecessarily large files.

Backup screen is stuck in “Creating backup” for around 45min
That 1 automatic backup looks completed and is available for download as seen on the screenshot…
You can extract them and check the size with something like Wiztree (Windows) or Filelight on Linux.

This is awesome. I wish there was a way to support more than one MCP server at a time for a given assistant.
Excited to use the TP Link integration with support of robovacuums

Thanks for listening to the feedback and integrating them in the new Version.
One thing i noticed while trying the new backup feature is that Network Storage Connections are always open. I’m using my NAS mainly to store backups and data i don’t need very often, so i configured it to go to sleep if there is no active connection. When i add my NAS to Home Assistant it keeps the connection always open even if it’s not needed. It would be nice if Home Assistant only connects to my NAS while making the backup. My workaround now is to start it once a week and sync the backup folder to my NAS.
