New vacuum state property

· One min read

As of Home Assistant Core 2025.1, the constants used to return state in StateVacuumEntity are deprecated and replaced by the VacuumActivity enum.

Also with this change, integrations should set the activity property instead of directly setting the state property.

There is a one-year deprecation period, and the constants will stop working from 2026.1 to ensure all custom integration authors have time to adjust.

Example​


from homeassistant.components.vacuum import VacuumActivity

class MyVacuumCleaner(StateVacuumEntity):
    """My vacuum cleaner."""

    @property
    def activity(self) -> VacuumActivity | None:
        """Return the state of the vacuum."""
        if self.device.is_cleaning():
            return VacuumActivity.CLEANING
        return VacuumActivity.DOCKED

More details can be found in the vacuum documentation.
