Many of those "boxes" on 2025 road map have been split up in the main roadmap. You can find bits and pieces of each in the new open roadmap. Things that are further out may not exist yet, like the second half of the 2025 roadmap.

None of those are usable in themes.
For other readers of this thread who face this problem, a fixed fork of the Simple Thermostat card is here, thanks to a volunteer: GitHub - Wheemer/simple-thermostat: A different take on the thermostat card for Home Assistant ♨️ · GitHub

Thanks. They finally got around to releasing it after repeated requests during the beta.

Has anyone gotten the new Apple TV keyboard text input services feature working? It seems that binary_sensor.*_keyboard_focused is missing. 
Your timers got a whole lifecycle of new triggers: started, paused, restarted, cancelled, and finished
I've got to be mising something—how do I use the new timer triggers? I searched "timer" in the automation trigger dialog but don't see anything. Tried hard-refreshing the webpage to no avail.
Because they are still in labs

Doh! I thought I had them enabled! They look great now. Thanks...
How will having a local USB port with a serial port on the end help proxy a USB device that may not necessarily be using an old-school com port underneath across wifi? I think you've got it backwards, boheme61

I agree, the new switches look really off. First the gauge redesign, now this...feels like everything is moving toward this "modern" style at the expense of readability and usability. The old switches were much clearer at a glance.

I am going to chime in here as well.
Firstly - thanks to all the hard work HA team, we do appreciate it, and I love home assistant.
Now on to the toggles. I got a bit of a shock when I installed 2026.5. I thought all of my switches had turned ON.
I don't mind the dev's making style updates but this is a step backwards for me.
The toggles now...
- Are too dark and in your face when they are in the OFF state.
- If you had a no colour display (a common requirement for human machine interfaces to account for both monochrome and colour blindness) the off state looks identical to the ON state, e.g. the contrast grey-scales are the same.
- Do not match any of the rest of the default theme. This is a new dark grey not used anywhere else.
I applied a slight de-tune myself to tone down the greys of these toggles to match the off state of the other default tile and grid cards. Look at Server and HTPC for e.g. You will see they now all match and don't look so ON.
If this the style HA want to pursue then I would recommend this detune, and of course please align right (rather than left these toggles) as mentioned by others.
#Toggle Switch tame colours when disabled (since 2026.5)
# OFF thumb only
ha-switch-thumb-background-color: "#9e9e9e" #Lighter Grey Thumb
ha-switch-thumb-background-color-hover: "#5e5e5e" #Default Grey on Hover
# Subtle border
ha-switch-thumb-border-color: "#9e9e9e" #Lighter Grey Border
But to be honest the old style was even better, as OFF did not grab your attention while ON did, which makes looking at pages at a glance to see important information quicker and clearer.

Will the new duration condition last through HA restarts? If so, this will fix a rather annoying issue!
For people that search alternative style:
There are more repo from the owner for lights, . Available via HACS.

Is there a way to exclude some batteries in the maintenance dashboard?
For example my cars battery or my house-battery is not really a valid case on this dashboard...

THANKYOU! for making the pjlink a proper integration, I hope the protocol works also.
I don't really understand the IR / RF things, haven't they always been there? I mean, I have the Broadcom IR4 responding nicely, and manipulating my old RF based curtains? I learned it the commands, and then I send the commands through it?
Exactly the same happened to me. Updated last night, this morning HA yellow will not work. tried unplugging and plugging back in but no change.
Referencing Current entity in visibility conditions is really cool, finally! However it does not seem to work with badges. I can add visibility conditions with current entity, testing it renders true, however, the badge is not visible in the dashboard. Is it just me, or maybe this was not yet supposed to work?
Looks like there is an alignment issue due to the switch having a label slot not used, but the label slot has a margin-inline-start of 0.5em (7px). Turning that off in inspector and they all line up.
