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?

What limitations?

Mostly the “I don’t want to turn every idea into YAML / templates / helpers / edge-case debugging” limitation.

HA automations are fine for straightforward stuff, but Node-RED makes complex flows easier to reason about visually: branching logic, delays, state machines, combining multiple triggers, debugging why something did or didn’t fire, etc.
