2023.3 – A new restart button and better entity dialogs

Android Auto

Was in a blog post on Jan 20: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/01/20/android-auto/

New Features

• Restarting Home Assistant
  Remember Windows XP? There’s a new shutdown/reboot dialog to make it easier to understand how to restart/reload Home Assistant.Remember all those reload YAML buttons? Now there’s a quick reload button that will reload all the components of Home Assistant that can be reloaded without restarting Home Assistant.The individual buttons to reload only automations or scripts are still available in Dev Tools.

• More Assist updates
  Can now ask for the current state of devices
  Are all windows closed? How many doors are open?
  English and Dutch intents are covered, but we need other language support too!

• Cleaner Entity information dialogs
  Tabs in the more information dialogs are gone! You can see an icon in the top to get to related entitles or device info screen.

• Python 3.11 Support
  Not currently available for Home Assistant OS or Containers
• The Reolink integration
  now provides entities to update the firmware of your camera, control zoom, and control auto-focus.
• The OpenAI Conversation
  integration now has options to customize it to your liking. You can now use templates in the forparameter of state conditions

New Integrations

• Dormakaba dKey
  Connect and control your Dormakaba dKey Bluetooth Low Energy locks
• easyEnergy
  Retrieves dynamic (hourly) energy & gas prices from the Dutch utility company easyEnergy.

• TP-Link Omada SDN Controller
  Control your TP-Link Omada SDN Devices such as network switches, access points, and internet gateways.

Breaking Changes

• MQTT
  The behavior for receiving values on sensors that expect numeric* values has changed.
  • From now on a 'None' value or a value rendered to 'None' will set such a sensor to an unknown state.
  • Empty values on such sensors ('') are ignored and will not affect the state of the sensor.
• Profiler
  The profiler.memoryservice is not available when using Python 3.11, due to an incompatibility with a needed dependency for this service. It will return if and when the used guppy3package becomes available with Python 3.11 compatibility.
• ZwaveJS Bump
