Favorites “flaky” with 2026.5?

Configuration Frontend
1

Since the 2026.5 update I do not always see my favorites. Sometimes they appear, sometimes they do not. This is at the top of the Overview page.

I can’t swear it is due to the latest release but I have never experienced this with earlier releases. I have restarted the server and tried using different HW and browsers. Same result - inconsistent appearance of favorites.

I can always edit the list - it has not fully disappeared from the configuration. It just is not always rendered.

Yes this was a reported bug and fixed. Keep an eye out for the next minor release w/ a frontend patch.

Sure enough! Just have to be smart enough to look at the issues under frontend instead of core on github.

And if I encounter future issues I know to search for "favorite" and "favourite"!

Are there ever releases of just the front end, or does it always get linked to the monthly release/patch cycle for overall HA? I mostly ask to learn more about how the pieces all fit together.

  • Every monthly major release (2026.X.0) includes a frontend update.
  • Some minor releases (2026.X.X) include a frontend update, some do not. You can check by seeing in the core changelog something like "Update frontend to 20260325.6" in the core release notes.
  • Frontend updates only come with a new core version that includes the frontend update in the changelog, there are no independent releases.

I notice there is a new “release” in GitHub, but the build appears to have failed.

I’m guessing that’s not the desired status! I don’t know the full process, so sharing this observation in case that requires intervention.

Release has been rebuilt and the "Favorites" fix in 20260429.4 appears to work in the wild! (Bonus - I got to learn about --pip-skip-packages along the path the testing the release.)

Thanks to those who fixed it. Not the most critical issue, but I became accustomed to quick checks of this screen.
