The DeviceEntry.suggested_area attribute is deprecated and will be removed in HA Core 2026.9. Also, suggested_area will no longer be present in EVENT_DEVICE_REGISTRY_UPDATED events when HA Core 2026.9 is released.

Note: Setting suggested_area in DeviceInfo, and passing suggested_area to DeviceRegistry.async_get_or_create is still supported and influences the area of created devices, although that may change in the future.

Use DeviceEntry.area_id to determine a device’s area in custom integrations. Don’t access DeviceEntry.suggested_area.

During the deprecation period, accessing DeviceEntry.suggested_area will log a warning.

For more details, refer to the DeviceEntry documentation and core PR 149730 which deprecated DeviceEntry.suggested_area.
