XMPP Messages to rooms (group chat) do not work since core-2025.11.0
The problem
After installing core-2025.11.0 I cannot send XMPP messages to rooms (group chats). Messages to single recipients work fine though. Steps to recreate the problem:
- setup a script
- add action "Notifications 'Send a notification with jabber'"
- run action
I get the feedback "Action ran successfully" though the message never appears at the recipient. The attached logs show errors but I do not understand the root cause.
What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?
core-2025.11.0
What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?
core-2025.10.4
What type of installation are you running?
Home Assistant OS
Integration causing the issue
Jabber (XMPP)
Link to integration documentation on our website
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/xmpp/
Diagnostics information
Personal information was removed from the log. home-assistant_xmpp_2025-11-06T20-23-32.338Z_2.log
Example YAML snippet
snipped from my configuration.yaml (notify section) that worked fine in core-2025.10.4 and older:
- name: jabber # Group
platform: xmpp
sender: homeassistant@my_server
password: *************
recipient: homeassistant@my_server
room: [email protected]_server

I also experience this. And this is really a problem for me, as I use the minimal version of the Home-Assistant companion app (no G services on my phone), I don't have any other mean of being notified by HA now.
