The Home Assistant 2026.11 update brings some changes to the Home Assistant Community Store (HACS) - it’s now the “Marketplace” and is an integrated part of the system. No longer an extra part which must be installed separately.

The upgrade however requires an extra confirmation step: confirm a checkbox that you understand the risks of installing software from community members.

After installing 2026.11, go to “Settings”. There’s a new option:

Click on it. If you open it the first time, a confirmation window opens:

Read what this confirmation is about, then if you agree, click the checkbox near the bottom of the window: “I understand the risks and agree”.

The “Continue” button appears, click it. You are back on the Marketplace website.

The “Installed” tab shows you the installed community extensions. Notably, HACS is no longer part of it.
