2024.5: Just a little bit smaller

The last two releases were massive! With our new drag 'n drop dashboards and the tools to organize your Home Assistant instance, it is hard to top those releases…So, this release is just a tiny bit smaller than those two, but still epic! My personal favorite is the new features added to the data tables, which many of you requested since the last update. But the ability to change the names of the devices shown on the energy dashboard is a close second!

Oh! We've held our State of the Open Home 2024 live stream! In case you've missed it, I would definitely recommend watching it back. There are tons of cool things and spoilers in there! But more importantly, it launched the Open Home Foundation, which now governs our beloved Home Assistant project!
