2026.11: A lot in store!
From the official release
Home Assistant 2026.11! 🎉
This is the biggest release we’ve ever shipped, by far. It’s ridiculously large. 🤯 A huge shout-out to everyone who helped make it happen, thank you! ❤️
For years, HACS, the Home Assistant Community Store, has been the place to find custom integrations, dashboard cards, and themes made by the community. Starting with this release, it’s built right into Home Assistant as the new [Marketplace](#welcome-to-the-marketplace). I’ve been working on bringing it over myself, and my goal was simple: if you use HACS today, it should feel like only the name changed. Everything you installed stays installed and keeps getting updates. And if you never tried HACS because installing it felt like a hurdle, that hurdle is gone: it’s simply there, under Settings, on every installation type. 🛍️
