Blueprint Studio 2.4.3

Release Date: March 28, 2026

We're excited to ship Blueprint Studio 2.4.3 — a significant update that modernizes the editor, adds powerful new productivity tools, and brings a full Home Assistant Developer Tools experience directly into Blueprint Studio.

✨ Highlights

  • Full migration to modern action: syntax (Home Assistant 2024.8+)
  • New Developer Tools floating panel with Actions, Template, States, and Config tabs
  • VS Code-style Minimap for the YAML editor
  • New snippets for nested trigger groups and continue_on_error
  • Jump to Entity with Ctrl+Click

Added

  • Minimap — A sleek VS Code-style minimap is now available in the editor. It shows a syntax-colored overview of the entire file on the right side, with a draggable viewport indicator. Click or drag anywhere on the minimap to quickly jump to that section. Works in both primary and split-view editors. Toggle it via Settings → Editor → Minimap.

  • Developer Tools Panel — A native floating panel (accessible from the toolbar or command palette) that brings Home Assistant's developer tools inside the editor:

    • Actions — Search and call any registered action with rich forms (sliders, dropdowns, entity pickers) or raw YAML mode.
    • Template — Live Jinja2 template renderer with debounced updates.
    • States — Full entity browser with domain filtering, search, and expandable attributes.
    • Config — Configuration check and one-click YAML reload buttons for 14 domains.

  • Jump to Entity — Ctrl+click (Cmd+click on Mac) any entity ID in the YAML editor to open a floating popup showing its current state, friendly name, icon, and key attributes. Includes a quick "Copy ID" button.

Changed

  • Updated autocomplete and snippets to use modern action: syntax — All 48 autocomplete suggestions, snip:automation, snip:script templates, and validator examples now use action: instead of the legacy service: key. User guide hint text has also been updated.
  • Added snip:trigger_group snippet and fixed validator false-positive for nested trigger groups (trigger: or, trigger: and, trigger: not) — fully compatible with Home Assistant 2024.10+.
  • Added new snip:continue_on_error snippet for the continue_on_error: true feature (Home Assistant 2026.3+).
  • Developer Tools improvements:
    • Actions tab placeholder updated to show action: with backward compatibility note.
    • Config tab now includes the missing Input buttons reload entry.
    • States tab: Clicking an entity ID now copies it to the clipboard with a "Copied!" confirmation flash.

Happy automating! 🚀
