What's new in Kiosk Satellite 2026.11.3
Another small follow up to the big 2026.11.1 release. It fixes Home Assistant failing to reconnect after the kiosk's ESPHome encryption key changes.
Important: Update your Echo Show / Dot image
If you use a Kiosk Satellite Edition image on an Echo Show 5, Echo Show 8 or Echo Dot, update the image along with the app. The new echo canceller needs the raw microphone the new images give Kiosk Satellite: Echo Show 8 (1st gen) 2026.10.6, Echo Show 5 (2nd gen) 2026.10.7 and Echo Dot (2nd gen) 2026.10.18. On an older image the microphone level and the echo canceller will not work as they should. Get the images from the releases page.
Fixes
- Home Assistant asks for the new ESPHome key again. After the encryption key changed on the kiosk, Home Assistant logged "Unexpected device found" and kept failing to connect instead of asking for the new key. The kiosk sent its MAC address in a form that newer versions of Home Assistant cut short, so it no longer matched the device. It now sends the MAC the way ESPHome devices do (#1279).
