5.28.5

Lets a Home Assistant dashboard section show several sections of one module, picked from pictures, and ships a user service in the Arch packages. No changes to the backend or the connectors.

Home Assistant dashboard

• Pick a section's module from its pictures in the section editor, then one or more of its sections, each with its own picture and description. Several sections go together in one, in the page's order, and the arrow at the top goes back to change module (docs)
• Save sections as module and sections. Sections saved with section still work, and switch over the next time they're edited
• Split the commands section into power-commands and saved-commands. A saved section: commands shows both, and the System page keeps them together
• Show a button for each saved command in the System page's commands, once Home Assistant adds them (home-assistant/core#191853)
• Start a section added from the section picker as a basic System section, and open its editor on the modules

Linux

• Ship system-bridge.service in the system-bridge and system-bridge-git packages, as a user service for the desktop session. It isn't enabled, so run systemctl --user enable --now system-bridge. Upgrades restart it while it's running, and removing the package disables it (docs)
