v1.9.0
✨ Feature — Advanced Filters and Label Permissions
This release introduces advanced filtering capabilities and label-based bulk permission management in Access Control Manager.
What changed
- Added advanced filters for devices, entities, and helpers.
- Added filtering by permissions, status, areas, integrations, devices, domains, labels, categories, and voice assistants.
- Added a dedicated label permissions workflow to quickly apply read/write permissions to matching devices, entities, and helpers.
- Improved backend metadata to support richer filtering options.
- Updated translations for the new filter and label permission UI.
Important note about label permissions
Label permissions are a bulk-edit helper, not a persistent Home Assistant label policy.
When you select read or write for a label, Access Control Manager applies that permission to the currently loaded matching items and saves them as individual entity permissions.
If you add a new device or entity later and assign the same label to it, it will not automatically inherit those permissions. Reopen the group permissions, apply the label permission again, and save to include the new matching items.
Why this matters
This makes it easier to manage permissions on larger Home Assistant installations by quickly narrowing down resources and applying permissions to groups of items that share the same label or metadata.
