Home Assistant 2026.10 adds OpenStreetMap maps, a trigger ID interface and new Matter controls

What was released

• Home Assistant 2026.10 was published on October 7. The first patch release, 2026.10.1, followed on October 10.[1]
• The release adds 15 new integrations, including Sunsynk, SolarEdge Modbus, Theben Conexa and Zonneplan.[1]

Maps

• Maps now use OpenStreetMap vector tiles. The previous map provider required an API key.[1]
• The Map dashboard has an overview with People, Devices and Zones tabs and a dark map style. People in the same zone share one marker bubble. Older devices fall back to the classic map.[1]

Automations and AI

• Trigger IDs have a user interface. A Triggered by condition lists the automation's triggers, and Home Assistant manages the IDs. Existing IDs written in YAML keep working.[1]
• The AI tasks page under Settings, System is now named AI. It has a Model Context Protocol card that turns the server on in one step. Access can be limited to administrator accounts. New setups expose all of Home Assistant by default.[1]

Matter and Z-Wave

• Matter leak sensors gain a switch for their visual and audible alarms. Matter locks gain a switch for one-touch locking. Electrical power meters also report frequency and power factor.[1]
• The Z-Wave automation editor has new conditions for node status, a configuration parameter value and other Z-Wave values. The Z-Wave network map has a neighbors toggle that shows mesh connections. It is off by default.[1]

Home Assistant Link

Nabu Casa is renaming Home Assistant Cloud to Home Assistant Link. The service stays the same. The rename is planned for the December release.[1]
