New Update made my Dashboards Unusable

Configuration
1

Hi, I have a bare metal min PC for my Home Assistant. Since upgrading to Core 2026.8.3 my dashboards are extremely slow and i keep getting alerts about tablets about authorisation.

I have 3 Fire HD Tablets used with Fully Kiosk. Two of the tablets has 4 CCTV cameras live feed using a Frigate on separate server. And on the screen to the side of the CCTV i have my calender entries.

All this has been working fine for long time up until I upgraded HA to core 2026.8.3.

The issues im now facing are:

  1. The screen tries to refresh ever minute or two and usually after few refreshes HA blocks the tablets saying they used invalid creds. But i know they are using the correct creds because it works.
  2. The CCTV feeds which has been working fine stopped working, as in erratic. It freezez, it display a picture for few seconds and freezes again etc.
  3. The calender entries displays the calender but after few refreshes and retries it just start spinning.

Steps taken so far:

  1. I tried using trusted networks and trusted user with the same result:

  2. homeassistant:
    auth_providers:

    • type: trusted_networks
      trusted_networks:
      • 10.0.0.0/24 # Subnet 1: Home Assistant Server network
        trusted_users:
        10.0.0.181:
        10.0.0.182:
        10.0.0.185:
        allow_bypass_login: true
    • type: homeassistant

  3. Re created the dashboards.

  4. Installed a separate LXC container for go2rtc and feed the Advanced Cards directly on the same subnet.

  5. Cleared the tablets cache few times.

  6. Rebooted all, including HA and the Tablets, even my home WiFi and all the network.

  7. Tried all i can think of, but nothing made a difference.

  8. I Reverted back to a backup from 6 weeks ago, and hurray as soon as the HA is backup all the calendar and the CCTVs advanced frigate cards worked like before with no issues

I let it run for 30 minutes to make sure it worked ok which it did and re-upgraded to the latest HA. And again as soon as I upgraded the problem returned.

Therefore, I can safely conclude its the HA somehow causing the problem.

I reached the limit of my knowledge on what i can check.

Anyone has any pointers on what to do next?

i really dont want to downgrade if i can help it. But at the moment it seems its the only option.

Thanks in advance.

Update:
I upgraded to the latest beta verision and it seems to be stable again. Something definitely was causing this problem HA on core 2026.8.3. Will monitor for now.

If anyone has any clue to what it was please still make a comment. Hopefully it will stay stable with the full release of HA.

For future reference, letting us know your server hardware and installation method helps those that can help you with a better answer.
I am glad you found a solution. Perhaps add the solution tag to you post?

They cannot do this, don’t get the option, if a thread has no category so therefor I added one.
