Home Assistant has added an x86-64 Live USB option to its test installer, allowing the system to run from a USB drive without installation on a computer’s hard drive. The update also adds a full-screen interface, image integrity checks, clearer disk information and clearer warnings before erasing storage. These changes remain at the proof-of-concept stage, with a formal release still pending.
