Breaking Changes

• Android TVThe “Android TV” integration has been renamed to “Android Debug Bridge”.This rename is because that is what it actually controlled/provided. With the addition of the Android TV Remote integration in this release, we wanted to reduce possible confusion in the future.
• Reolink
  For Reolink doorbells, the “Status LED” light entity is replaced by a “Status LED” select entity. The switch off state corresponds to the select Auto, and the switch on state corresponds to the select Auto & always on at night. An additional Stay off state is now available.
• Synology DSMThe unit conversion for all memory, storage, and network utilization-related sensors was corrected from binary (1024) to decimal (1000) base to be in line with the used measurement units (eq. MB = 1.000.000 bytes).You may need to update the historically recorded units for these sensors via the statistics page under developer tools.
• Webhooks
  Two new Webhook trigger options have been added that limit how a webhook can trigger an automation. A new allowed_methods option can be used to control which HTTP request methods can activate the trigger (GET, HEAD, POST, and PUT). And the local_only option is used to allow devices outside your local network to activate the trigger.Previously all webhook triggers could be activated by HEAD, POST, and PUT methods from any device (local or on the internet). With the new options, only POST and PUT are enabled by default.In Home Assistant Core 2023.7, any webhook trigger that does not set local_only to false can only be activated by devices on the same network as Home Assistant.

  Click the gear/cog icon beside the Webhook ID to update your webhook triggers. Then select an appropriate value for Only accessible from the local network. It is necessary to deselect the option for the Save button to appear. Then reselect the option if it should be enabled. This will make the repair warning go away.
