What's new

Full ESPHome 2026.8.0 release guide: Bluetooth Low Energy now works across more chip families (Raspberry Pi Pico W, Beken BK72xx, LibreTiny LN882H), with a breaking-change migration checklist for the ble_hub_id rename, voc_index/nox_index sensor keys, and the new LED strip channel_colors key.
New device support with ready-to-flash configs: 60 GHz presence radar (LD6002B), Hörmann garage door control, DS248x 1-Wire bridges, and ad-hoc Modbus read/write actions straight from YAML.
Networking and reliability: dual Ethernet+WiFi with automatic failover on ESP32, and multi-key OTA signature verification for signing-key rotation.

All bundled example configs and templates have been migrated to the new channel_colors LED strip key.
