Does anyone notice vacuums reporting something about their associated rooms having changed?

I've got 2 Roborock S5 with Valetudo 2026.5.0 integrated via MQTT and both exhibit that behavior - sometimes, changing a mapped room back and forth fixes the issue, sometimes it does not.

HA 2026.5.4 in a container...

hello, i noticed that there is some evolution in the energy dashboard with the energy balance of the network, but the result of export - import still makes no sense, and the right evolution should add (as suggested many time in several evolution) a flag that allow to add or not both value.

For what it's worth, I think I do appreciate the more attention-grabbing OFF state, because I definitely remember more than one case in the old styling where I was confused by an interface because I simply didn't see the (off) toggle at all. The high-contrast border in the new design helps with that, I think.

I don't know how they look for you, I haven't seen HA in light mode for a long time, since before I updated :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I've found that combining horizontal-stack with custom:button-card doesn't go well somehow, and reported that in IOS topic, where this was raised too.

also mentioned in the repo btw, though as ever, we're not going to fix it like this, as both sides will be required and that seldom happens...

for now I changed my combinations of

type: vertical-stack
cards:
  - type: custom:button-card
  - type: horizontal-stack
    cards:
      - type: custom:button-card
      - type: custom:button-card
      - type: custom:button-card
      - type: custom:button-card
      - type: custom:button-card
      - type: custom:button-card
      - type: custom:button-card

to

type: vertical-stack
cards:
  - type: custom:button-card
  - type: grid
    columns: 7
    square: false
    cards:
      - type: custom:button-card
      - type: custom:button-card
      - type: custom:button-card
      - type: custom:button-card
      - type: custom:button-card
      - type: custom:button-card
      - type: custom:button-card

and seem to do better.
its not all perfect in Safari yet, but seems better

Ok, not my issue. I abandoned the custom:button-card quite some time ago, too much maintenance (probably much better today, but I'm not looking back). The Safari browser still is sluggish for HA and Chrome is doing much better.

Well I didn’t say it was 100% fixed…. And yes Safari is still slower in the view rendering

But it was a significant change I figured I’d mention .
