@@arunskuviyamphotography5388 I love layout card, but it is un-intuitive AF. Debating converting my layout dashboard to the new type to see how it works
YESSSSS Home Assistant continues to get so good. They're doing such good work! Thanks for covering this all in a digestible format. Love your videos so much.
Not being able to edit blueprints is why I never I never use them, though the adding template sensors as part of the original sensor is going to be awesome for me!
Thanks for these videos! Without them I would probably not even think about keeping up with the updates. I do really hope one day they revamp the damn Roomba integration to pick rooms. The 3rd party addon if good, but native support would be great!
To be honest, the resize feature completely disappointed me. It seems to only work on a small subset of items in the sections view, which I didn't use so far because it is still experimental. And no matter what I tried, there is no Layout tab.
Simplifying home radius on the map is nice, and inexplicable it wasn't there since you can resize any other location radius on the map just fine. Glad they fixed that. The dashboard is also getting ever easier to organize to your liking which is fantastic. I need to do major changes to mine anyway.
Thanks. I would love to see a video from you about updates in general. If I open my HA every week, I likely see some updates, often for ESPHome and others. Should I really update every week? What should I do before I update? Is it a problem if skip an update or two? It would be great to see a video like that from you. Thanks.
So much more they could do with adding entities to devices. Helpers would be a great add here. As they stand now, there is no way to know what they are related to. Or to add a contact sensor to an independent door lock.
I used to be all in with HA, but the updates constantly and things breaking, I just can't keep up or be bothered anymore to fix it all.. This video might get me back into it
Hi Lewis, thanks for another great update. I noticed an ESPHome device called "boiler-controller" in your ESPHome screen. I'm very interested, would you mind sharing what it is, how it works and how it is programmed?
I didn't see the new update 🤔, Is this released yet? Lol I went back to my home assistant app clicked on updates again, and there it is! It wasn't showing up 30 minutes ago when I clicked on update.
I've come to a point where I don't read/watch any other text/video related to the releases. Just waiting until you post a video to see what's new in HA.
My biggest takeaway from this release is no longer needing ESPHome Add-on! Yay! Their releases are far too frequent and too often are just updates fixing fixes from previous updates. And every time I install an update, it nags me to update all my ESPHome devices - even though the changes don't apply to them. So its either do the updates, and pray they don't brick the device, or just countless 'Ignores', over and over again. Ugh
I have searched for HAIER on the channel and got this video as a result but I can not find haier anywhere ? What is the haier related content ? I am searching for an update about the Haier OpenSource attack and how it went and looks. I know about a kind of peace found between HA , developer and Haier, but should I buy a haier heatpump in 2024 october or not ?
Hi I’m new to smart-homes and automation but I think I’m hooked. I’m always looking to see how I can make something, but I just don’t understand it all yet. It sucks being new to this. I’m behind the curve. Is there anyway that you would mind helping me with some stuff or anybody on your page, I’m just looking for somebody that could f help me guide me a little bit I don’t even mind paying for some more time to help me. I just need to get somebody I can talk to so I can figure this stuff out and stop wasting so much money. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Quick question if you see a integration that is going to be affected by doing the update is there away to still do the update and not have it affect the integration as otherwise it’s like well if you want to keep up to date then there is no choice you have to accept what will happen to the affected integrations and everybody keeps giving the same warnings in there update videos to check before you do an update and nothing else is said and so your left wondering what should I do update or not
There was a Generic Thermostat within Home Assistant this entire time? I just set up a helper in YAML that stated if temp of a room within/outside number range then toggle switch accordingly. This will be much easier, though I don't know if this is configurable to determine the range of temperatures.
The notes say "The harmony switch entities that were deprecated since Home Assistant 2024.1, have now been removed.", so it's only the already deprecated switch entities you cannot use. Not the entire integration.
Looks like we're finally going to be forced to decommission our Harmony Hub. It's been a nightmare of unreliability for ages, but it's still a lot more effort to re-implement all of it's devices and automations directly inside HA than just struggling on without doing that.
I like home assistant but please, please if you have influence with them can we slow down the release schedule. Not just monthly but all the patches within a month. It's a real turnoff for a casual/new user. I want to a champion and roll it out to my non-techie,but curious friends. The constant tweaks to the interface makes this much more annoying
Yes - that's what I do - and it's fine for those of us who see/tinker with such things. It's not fine if HA want to eventually project a mature, professional image to a wider audience.
Editing the radius directly from the GUI!!! THANK YOU!!!!
It might be a small thing, but I am grateful for it!
I like to watch your monthly updates. Always something useful, even beyond main content, for example Knocki device. Wow. Did not know that.
Glad you find them useful! 🙏🏻 Thanks for watching!
Blueprint edits and templates associated with devices are my favourite new features. Cool updates.
Those are really great improvements, agreed!
Finally a layout card with helpful UI. Phew!
A very welcome addition 😅

A nice UI and customization? Finally, a feature my family will use!
Adding a helper (like the template) to the right device ID seems small, but man does that scratch my itch.
Dashboard changes are pretty cool! 😀

Love to hear it! 🎉
Love the monthly updates! With these UI changes, I think it's time for a new list of some fantastic dashboards 👀

Thanks for watching and appreciate it 🙏🏻
Great update. Thank you for the information and taking the time to explain it.
thank you as always. great concise info
🙏🏻
Great job as usual - thanks for the detail. I am a little behind on updates this month. 😁
To be honest, the resize feature completely disappointed me. It seems to only work on a small subset of items in the sections view, which I didn't use so far because it is still experimental. And no matter what I tried, there is no Layout tab.
Thanks for this overview, so helpful.
Finally the home zone!
Simplifying home radius on the map is nice, and inexplicable it wasn't there since you can resize any other location radius on the map just fine. Glad they fixed that. The dashboard is also getting ever easier to organize to your liking which is fantastic. I need to do major changes to mine anyway.

Thanks for the update! I just ordered a Smart Plant ESPhome
Oh awesome, enjoy when it arrives!
Resize of tiles and changing the home radius is awesome! Been fighting with both of those recently.
The Home Assistant god must have smiled on you in that case 🤣
So much more they could do with adding entities to devices. Helpers would be a great add here. As they stand now, there is no way to know what they are related to. Or to add a contact sensor to an independent door lock.
Lessons from being a sysadmin: never install a software version that ends in a zero
I used to be all in with HA, but the updates constantly and things breaking, I just can't keep up or be bothered anymore to fix it all.. This video might get me back into it
I wish they made it possible to target lights by area in the UI, similar to automations.
Why I don't have the layout tab?

Lewis! The beard!! Sooooo much better.
Great video, for living in the uk though what do you use to control radiators in rooms?
Still waiting on native two way talk for smart door bells 🙃

What is the haier related content ?

I cannot see the layout tab on 2024.7 I do have the zone resize tho
Thanks for the updates. Do you have a video on how to trigger scripts on a computer on the network from your home assistant dashboard ?

Bug on energy dashboard... Try editing...
esp home update really useful, been something thats annoyed me
"nice."

Haha yeah there has been, I think it was actually the very first integration I ever used 😅
Home Assistant Release Notes (beta): -> "Oh no! This page does not exist 😞"
If Harmony Hub is under backward-incompatible changes that means I won't be able to use it anymore right?
The notes say "The harmony switch entities that were deprecated since Home Assistant 2024.1, have now been removed.", so it's only the already deprecated switch entities you cannot use. Not the entire integration.
@@Kahera Thank you so much. For some reason the change log link isn't working for me.
No one is commenting about the 3D printer in the background full of presence sensor boxes? 👀

Add chapters to your videos!!
Great
Please make a up to date step by step of installing mqtt and adding a device
I'm too lazy to figure if lewis just doxxed himself, but I am sure someone can figure it out.
Haha feel free to visit me there 😅🤣
BTW Home Assistant Release Notes (beta): link in description had a case of bitrot. (giving a Oh no! This page does not exist 😞 )

I like home assistant but please, please if you have influence with them can we slow down the release schedule. Not just monthly but all the patches within a month. It's a real turnoff for a casual/new user. I want to a champion and roll it out to my non-techie,but curious friends. The constant tweaks to the interface makes this much more annoying
I kinda get it, but you know you don't have to update right? You can just press ignore and not see the update 😅
Yes - that's what I do - and it's fine for those of us who see/tinker with such things. It's not fine if HA want to eventually project a mature, professional image to a wider audience.
