The full story
From Home Assistant 2026.7, automations work by area rather than by device, so devices with no area quietly drop out of them. Olli of smarterkram built Area Manager, a small HACS integration with its own sidebar panel that lists every device without an area and lets you assign one in seconds, ignore ones that don't need one, or delete dead ones.
He says Claude Code did most of the programming; he supplied the concept, the Home Assistant knowledge and the oversight.
