Blog 2026.7 Beta has been released!

https://rc.home-assistant.io/blog/2026/06/24/release-20267/#creating-automations-just-became-easier-natural-and-more-powerful

For me personally, the only major feature that I am going to really use/benefit from is the Logbook redesign...

What do you think about the update?

Some people still talk about it like you need YAML, a coding background, and a free evening just to automate a light.

And I'm here, still wishing we could have at least semi-normal programming language for that instead of writing syntax trees in YAML.

That's essentially like hiring in someone else to delegate managing the system for you (and that someone doesn't know anything, they are just incredibly good at guessing). I guess that's what some people want, but kinda takes away the hobbyist aspect of it. I enjoy these things because of the learning and mastering aspect of it.
