2023.8: Translated services, events, and wildcards!

Another month, another fine release of Home Assistant! This release is a bit more conservative after two absolutely packed releases in June and July. Many of us are enjoying summer holidays. Pretty much all features in this release are absolutely amazing, and it is hard to pick a favorite. Great translation improvements that help with the user experience, a new entity to capture events from things like remotes, and the new Assist features are, again, mind-blowing!

Talking about Assist, you have seen the blog on Year of the Voice – Chapter 3? Or, check the live stream recording on YouTube, where the new features have been demonstrated. Some new integrations have been added too. Most notably Opower! This integration can pull in energy usage data from many utility companies in the United States. For example, it supports PG&E, ComEd, BGE, and many more! Very good news for all our American friends! Enjoy the release!
