This change aligns with Home Assistant\u2019s pattern of using select entities for user\u2011changeable modes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For years, JVC users relied on template switches or complex service calls to change picture modes. <\/span><b>The core change is the shift from &#8220;Sensor&#8221; domains to &#8220;Select&#8221; domains.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before 2026.4, picture mode and HDR processing were exposed as read\u2011only <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sensor<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> entities, so you couldn\u2019t change them directly from the UI.

Configure a simple \u201cpower on + input select\u201d IR macro, and trigger it from an automation if the JVC projector\u2019s network response times out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dashboard_section_styling_for_your_theater\"><\/span>Dashboard section styling for your theater<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home Assistant 2026.4 allows you to set background colors for dashboard sections.
