2025.5 Beta Week

Configuration
1

A general reminder: Beta week is not designed to fully overhaul a new feature, but to identify bugs that may be introduced with the update.

If you have an issue, please let us know here! However, the developers are very active in the #beta channel of our Discord server during Beta week - it’s good to hop in there if you can. To ensure things are addressed in a timely manner during Beta, be sure to also submit issues on GitHub in their proper space:

Here are this month’s Beta notes! This release is definitely a Quality of Life improvement one. Highlights I think are important:

Build is running here, keep an eye out for when it’s done to get b0 installed. :clap:t2: Happy testing, friends!

Openwrt still nothing?

What bug fixes or new features do you want addressed with respect to the OpenWRT integration?

I would like to have working, not outdate, Openwrt integration to Home assiatant.
If other somart home platforms can have it

I don’t see why we users of home assiatant must have integration like we are in 1984.
Gui based, can control all wifi interfaces, on/off, can have traffic statistics per interface, per device… and this is just that pop up this second on my mind.
But yeah, proper moder gui based configured interface for integration of Openwrt routers.

There’s that broken record again.

a) this has nothing to do with Beta.
b) You are one of FIVE people using this integration. Unless you mean this integration in which there are 0 people actively using.

Go drop feedback on the integration GitHub page, this is not the place for it.

I am not sure if these beta periods were always publicized (ahead of time) as prominently as this or not, in the past. But I don’t think so?

Anyway, I think this is a really good idea. As I seem to remember reading that we never seem to have enough beta testers. Community is big, we should leverage that.

I’m not using any of them. But did tried them. Comp probably got me in the statiscis.
Anyway the only thing that is currently working more or less is custom ssh integration.
People doesn’t use those integration as they are literally useless. They are outdated hard to implement and basically everything you don’t wanna have from integration.

Patches welcome!

13

My point stands, it doesn’t belong in this thread. Take it elsewhere, like the integration repo where it does belong.

It’s nice to see the option for setting whether or not an backup will be automatically created when updating something. That’s something people should want.

I updated the OP to add one more bullet requested by Frenck - we’d love to have feedback on the new entity pickers!

Looks like lots of nice features in this release, actually.

I am still reading, but found a small grammatical error, not sure where to properly report (please advise), in the meantime:

Waiting for the backup to finish on restarts

Another small improvement, but one an unimportant one

Pretty sure they meant “important” here, yes?

Ha, yeah, Frenck has that noted already - beta channel in Discord caught a little bit ago. :smiley:

22

I see a few more, but it sounds like others are already picking it apart as well, so maybe I won’t bother. :smile:

I followed the link to the documentation GitHub, but it didn’t seem to contain this draft.

I’m probably not going to join Discord, but this did lead to me discovering #homeassistant (on Libera) just now. :smile:

I am getting an error on startup which says:

This is an error raised by a custom integration, localtuya, please make sure you are running the latest version of this custom integration. If the problem persists on the latest version, please report this issue with the custom integration author.

Custom integration are not maintained by the Home Assistant project, so not really something we can fix.

Edit: Seems like you are not the first one: 2025.5.0b0 Integration will not load · Issue #1977 · rospogrigio/localtuya · GitHub

Wow team! There are so many good improvements. Awesome to see the team continuing to iterate on the backup feedback.

I’m excited to see all the UI improvements, especially the improved experience with templating and pasting YAML into the editor.

The discovery explorer is a big bonus too!

Too many little things to mention!
