If you are missing the Developer tools menu item in the left menu after 2026.2 HA update, You can have it back right now.
In the latest release party, the team indicated they were working on development for the left menu, but if you are looking to get your Developer Tools menu back in the mean time, here’s a way.
Custom Panel will allow you to add this or other things to your left panel menu.
Remember a few years ago when Supervisor and Logs were also in the left menu. Well, on mine it is still there. Want ZHA in the left menu, I got you.
Here is my panel-custom yaml as it stands at the time of me writing this (below).
Also here is a link to my HA Config on GitHub.
