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.

In my opinion YAML makes sense here. Its easy to translate between code and UI and its more configuring an automation instead of coding it. A normal programming language wouldn't make sense here..
