Is there some trick to getting this installed? My HAOS instance (x64 generic) has no updates pending despite refreshing by clicking "Check for updates" in the android app....
-
I'm not seeing it either (yet), and I'm on Haas-os.
Edit: nevermind, manually checking for the update in settings/system/updates made it show up
-
I actually had to force it via the CLI.
ha core updateThat didn't work either, I had to manually specify the version:
ha core update --version 2025.7.0

@HiTekRedNek @thehatfox My instance found the update 3 hours ago.

The voice focus is fucking el-el-lame
Removing dependency on using cloud voice like Google or Amazon is awesome. I wouldn't use voice if that's how I had to do it, and I really like voice control for my HA ecosystem.
To me it’s very gimmicky and requires a lot of work. It probably fits English speakers better as I’ve not had any luck using local voice.
Agree. I do not speak to the machine. It does not speak to me. It is a happy arrangement.
I can see the use as an accessibility aid, but nothing more.
All I have ever wanted from a machine is to be able to say, "I'm busy right now, but I've had a thought; here - hold this for me"...
...without it telling anyone me and my partner's batting average.
I use it to do things at the same time as other things. I can add something to the shopping list when I’m cooking or turn on the fan when I’m getting ready for bed without stopping what I’m doing to click buttons. I find that it’s really good for things that can’t easily be automated but you also can’t (or don’t want to) put on a physical button.
I actually use Alexa as I haven’t had time to investigate HA voice control but the principle is the same.
I guess they have watched a lot of Ironman and want to recreate Jarvis at some point
