Home Assistant Core 2026.11.0b5 introduces Marketplace mirrors and MQTT fixes

Home Assistant Core has released the 2026.11.0b5 beta version, which includes several stability improvements and integration updates. The release focuses on refining device communication, specifically addressing reload loops in FRITZ!Box Tools and MQTT entry reloads involving discovered tags.

Additionally, the update expands the platform's accessibility by adding China mirror support to the Marketplace. It also includes dependency bumps for several libraries, including pysnooz and aiowebostv, alongside frontend updates to version 20261028.4.

Technical changes in 2026.11.0b5

• Integration Stability: Fixed a reload loop occurring on FRITZ!Box devices lacking traffic data and resolved MQTT entry reload issues triggered by discovered tags or device triggers.
• Security and Permissions: Implemented a change where delayed commands are executed under the identity of the user who originally set the timer.
• Dependency Updates: Bumped several key libraries including pysnooz to 0.10.1, aiowebostv to 1.0.0, and tuya-device-handlers to 0.0.34.
• Connectivity and API: Added a new websocket command to explain target excludes and implemented a grace period for Tedee bridge authentication errors to prevent immediate reauthentication loops.
• Marketplace Infrastructure: Introduced support for China-based mirrors within the Home Assistant Marketplace to improve download reliability in that region.

Why it matters

These updates improve the reliability of smart home automation for users relying on MQTT and FRITZ!Box ecosystems. The addition of regional mirrors and updated device handlers ensures better global availability and compatibility for a diverse range of IoT hardware.
