Home Assistant 2026.8 just killed the one setup step every new user got stuck on — and quietly removed the word "advanced" from over 40 menus. Here's everything new in this beta release, and what to do if your server disappears after updating. 🌐 New Default Port: Home Assistant now installs on port 80 by default — no more typing :8123 after your address. New installs get this automatically, and some existing installs will switch too. Can't reach your server after updating? Wait 5 minutes (it auto-reverts to :8123) or go straight to homeassistant.local:80 and confirm the change in Settings - System - Network. 🎛️ Advanced Mode Cleanup: The word "advanced" has been removed from 40+ places in the interface, and Developer Tools is now simply called Tools — part of a bigger push to make Home Assistant less intimidating for beginners. 🆔 Entity ID Format Control: Customize how new entity IDs are built — area, device, floor, sensor type, in whatever order works for you. ⚡ New Automations: Fresh triggers and conditions for vibration sensors and moon phase changes (yes, you can make your smart speakers howl on a full moon). 📦 Device Repairs: Devices delivered by multiple integrations now show up separately — check your Repairs page after updating so your automations still point to the right device. ☁️🔋📻⭐ Also new: a redesigned Home Assistant Cloud settings page, a searchable radio browser, a battery capacity field in the Energy Dashboard, and favorite cards when building your dashboard. ⏱️ This is the 2026.8 BETA — the final stable release lands Wednesday, August 5th, 2026. 🔔 Subscribe for more smart home tutorials and reviews! ☕ Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/smarthomejunkie | https://ko-fi.com/smarthomejunkie 🌐 Website: https://www.smarthomejunkie.net See the release notes here: https://rc.home-assistant.io/blog/2026/07/22/release-20268/ Join the Release party: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu7JLCxZmaI Blog version: https://www.smarthomejunkie.net/whats-new-in-home-assistant-2026-8-port-80-no-more-advanced-and-custom-entity-ids 👉 Get the desktop clock/message ticker that I use in the video: https://youtu.be/N0NKPJzGHuA 👉 Get the SwitchBot standing lamps that I am using in the video: https://bit.ly/3SJLAIf If this video saved you time or frustration, consider sponsoring the channel.
