2026.3.0

Hey lookie here! This is a quality of life improvement release. Some small but important fixes have been rolled in. In particular, hold mode has been reworked so that if you have set hold mode and an automation changes the the view it will now return to the view where hold mode was originally set. We have some additional work to do with hold mode but this will improve things.

• Added: revert to hold view if set by @msp1974 in #244
• Add home screen attribute to sensor by @Flight-Lab in #246
• Added fix for Google STT timer setting replacing unnecessary '-' characters by @dinki
• Added fix for alarms being identified as reminders by @dinki

2025.12.0

Hey hey! The elves have been working behind the scenes to bring a new View Assist integration release. This one is packed with mostly behind the scenes and specific user requests features. Of note, the first bit of work has been put in for detecting device orientation and adjusting the view accordingly. The clock view is the first to receive this update and we hope to roll out the others as time progresses. Additionally, an option has been added to the default options that allow for automatic switching to music view when music starts even if it is not initiated through a voice command!

Thanks again to @msp1974 and @Flight-Lab for all their work and for all the others who have contributed! Every bit of help is most appreciated!
