I just updated from 2022.11.5 but got the following error message, has anyone else seen this?

aiogithubapi 22.3.1 requires backoff<2.0.0,>=1.10.0, but you have backoff 2.2.1 which is incompatible.

I’m running HA core on a raspberrypi 4, on top of raspbian OS (bullseye)

this is pretty big. on the main production system fully loaded with (custom) integrations and many other things that could break, only 1 single error popping up:

2022-12-07 21:49:26.381 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.homeassistant_alerts] Timeout fetching homeassistant_alerts data

other than that, its flawless. very nice indeed.
ofc, love the new state colors for binaries classes, the new BT functionality (on Shelly’s now too, yeah).

so many other good stuff. thanks!

There has been work done on this, however there was an unforeseen roadblock that the dev ran into. I wouldn’t expect a ‘point and click’ network share option anytime soon. You can mount network drives via CLI or an automation that runs a command_line command.

Maybe Ive been doing it incorrectly, but I’ve created a calendar ‘Verjaardagen’ (anniversaries) and added all events in my household.

However, if I find the calendar entity in states, there is only 1 listed, and it doesnt have 8 events connected to it. Only 1. where are my other events? I can see them in the actual Local calendar.

btw, an anniversary would have been nice to simply state the date of the event (birthday…) and not have to state all day, and begin and end date.

Maybe thats a future enhancement?

You should learn up on how calendars work, they only show the next event. I simply using them as a visible schedule and you can build automations off each calendar. I have separate calendars that do different things. Like one that tells me when to take out the garbage, etc.

Just a follow up.

in Picture Elements cards the ‘–paper-item-icon-color’ still works for the off state of binary sensors. You have to replace the ‘–paper-item-icon-active-color’: red with something like ‘–rgb-state-binary-sensor-color’: 255,0,0
The 3 numbers are Red, Green, and Blue. So 255,0,0 is bright in your face red which is what I want

Every 2 weeks is pretty easy with a template sensor and some calculations - here’s an example to play with in dev tools which counts down:

{{ ((14-(((as_timestamp(now().date()) - as_timestamp('2022-11-02')) / 86400)|round(0,'ceil')) % 14) % 14) }}

Irregular events need a calendar (although I just remember when the bins go out a day later after a public holiday).

Thanks, I already have automations set up for biweekly events, but it would be nice to visualize them in the calendar or be able to remove/move just one of the instances without messing around in an automation. For example, I work a compressed schedule at work so I have every second Friday off, but if that Friday happens to be a holiday, then I get the Monday off instead. It would be easier to set odd occurrences like that in the calendar than an in automation.

What does sound interesting is using Shellys as BLE range extenders.
I don’t have any Plus devices yet (and don’t really see any point in upgrading as they offer no real benefit to me), but will this feature require flashing ESPHome or will it work out of the box with stock firmware?
And most importantly: will it work with Tasmota firmware?

and sensos and binary sensors are created. You can then use these for all kinds of automations and triggers in HA, use the attributes etc.

Or simply list them all in a singel card, with this decluttering template

card:

  entity: '[[entity]]'
  state: >

Well, same game as after the previous release when card borders were introduced. Now the user questions are coming in again as to why the accent colours have suddenly disappeared.

December 2022

Mariusthvdb

on the colors of the various domains , I’ve just found out we still need to set the state_color: true to have them use the colors in the entities cards. Which is odd, because the more-info of the entity does actually use the domain state color by itself.


this simply is a bug:

Well, well… This reminds me how the things were with Firefox and probably still are. Core team started to follow their vision how the things should look like, and this probably is one of the main reasons why their user base has dramatically dropped over the last years. Especially after catastrophes like Proton UI and such.

People were just scared to update anymore, fearing of “what they are going to break this time”. I personally jumped of the train and have moved to Vivaldi as my main browser. Things seem to be much more consistent there, although development is still going on under the hood.

People must have possibility to choose. Colors and how things look like are important to people, even if you are not a theme developer.

It is no that easy just to switch systems, when you are dealing with automation, but history and years working as business consultant have taught me, that one should build everything in one’s life so, that if necessary, it is easy to vote with one’s feet, if ever necessary.

For now, I’m lazily following the discussion and trying to get some kind of understanding what this UI policy is going to look like and what kind of work maintaining the things set to my personal liking is going to require in the future.

Have not updated yet.

First of all, thanks for the work that you all put into HA!
I agree with Trilliard. A possibility to perform a subtraction directly in a helper would be great. Perhaps it would be possible to add “signs” for each added entity in the already existing sum helper? In that way one could chose to add or subtract each added entity to/from the sum helper entity.

Thanks for the feedbacks for new color system.

During the State of the Open Home, we presented a new concept of dashboard and it was really well received : Link the the concept.

Why we do this change ?

We started by adding color to tile card (and there is very good feedbacks on Mushroom card for this).
Before the update, it was not possible de change the color based of state and domain. We saw that many people relies of third party card to change color (e.g. card_mod, custom-ui…). We want to offer this by default so people don’t have to install third party scripts that can be broken at every release.

Also, the history was using random colors. Now you can have an complete overview of your devices.

What can I do if I don’t like the new color ?

You can do feedbacks here and explain why you don’t like it with respect. We are all human and we don’t do changes just to break your things by pleasure.

I already saw very good feedbacks :

please also consider the heating color? not sure how to, maybe have a device_class: heating?

in any case a heating heater shouldn’t be blue :wink:

second, please point us to the color var used for the regular ‘on’ state, so we can adapt that in hour themes.
The doors currently are blue, but when I check frontend/ha-style.ts at efda2ab626ff59e5937d67cea50e7a0886635b5e · home-assistant/frontend · GitHub the state-on-color is ‘66a61e’, which is green.

same goes for a regular binary_sensor (no class set), which we had following the regular color scheme for on, and now also shows blue, where the actuator, the boolean above does show the correct ‘On’ color:

using this in my theme:

  state-switch-color: '#ffd700'
  state-automation-color: '#ffd700'
  state-cover-color: '#ffd700'
  state-fan-color: '#ffd700'
  state-light-color: '#ffd700'
  state-person-home-color: '#008000'
  badge-person-not-home-color: '#636B75'
  state-person-zone-color: '#800080'

I would have hoped to to follow the state-switch-color. Or, that is what I want (it was me former active color)

edit

found the binary color in frontend/ha-style.ts at efda2ab626ff59e5937d67cea50e7a0886635b5e · home-assistant/frontend · GitHub and set it now to the same colors:

  state-switch-color: '#ffd700'
  state-automation-color: '#ffd700'
  state-cover-color: '#ffd700'
  state-fan-color: '#ffd700'
  state-light-color: '#ffd700'
  state-binary-sensor-color: '#ffd700'
  state-person-home-color: '#008000'
  badge-person-not-home-color: '#636B75'
  state-person-zone-color: '#800080'

only to now see more clearly, the boolean does not follow the same color scheme as a switch apparently? It is still the ‘amber’ color.

So, now go looking for the boolean variable…

same file, a bit deeper…added state-input-boolean-color: '#ffd700' now too, and the view is back to where it was before:

            icon_color: >
              return (state === 'on') ? 'var(--alert-color)' : 'var(--primary-color)';

    binary_sensor.opentherm_dhw_state:
      <<: *alert_color

    binary_sensor.opentherm_flame_state:
      <<: *alert_color

and bring back:

given the fact only my single climate entity already has 3 heating binaries, I would think many users have many of these. Introducing a new class for that would be justifiable.

@piitaya of the other colors that come to mind, I feel --rgb-state-update-color: var(--rgb-green-color); would need adjustment too:

an available update requires an action. Green would indicate all is fine, and no action is required. In the current color settings, the best would be the alert color. Hence maybe add update device_class to the alerting binaries?

Why do different device trackers get different colors for the “home” state? Pveviously they were both green/red, now one is blue/grey and the other is green/grey:

The same color differences apply to the person state (home/not home), above screenshot is the raw device tracker entities. I would expect these two entities use the same pair of colors because they are both the identical type of sensor, they even result from the exact identical brand of hardware (Companion app on Samsung S10) for both devices / Persons shown in the screenshot above.

Why is this and how can I change it back to make it uniform and consistent again?

hm… I’ve created three local calendars yesterday:

grafik

I’ve also created an entry for the third one (together / Gemeinsam)…
When I had a look into the calendar today, the third one was gone:

grafik

Only my personal one, the one from my wife - and the default one from the waste scheduler are visible…

In the developer tools, I can see, that the calendar is unavailable:

It seems, that the calendar cannot handle some letters in an appointment - in this case the “ü”

Which seems to be an issue with character-sets / code-pages ?

On my pi4 I cannot install matter Server because it is not supported by my OS and/or processor. Can. Somebody elaborate on that? I do not have HaOS installed - will this be mandatory even on the future?

Thanks, I did see that. I also saw this was a known issue during beta, unfortunate there was no mention of this in breaking changes.

Music assistant is a custom component. Custom components are developed by some users on their free time, it can take more time to have it compatible with the HA version.

Nice release!

The tile cards with the feature options is a good improvement.

But one thing should be nice to have when you use the slider of brightness of a light, that the percentage is updated realtime when sliding to left/right.

Fix for that is already on its way. I commented in your raised issue.

It’s most likely the encoding on the ics file in .storage that contains your calendar events. You can edit the file and remove the character, reload the calendar, and it should work. That’s how I’ve been editing my events

Well I had the same thing but the strangest thing happened that all colours returned back to ‘normal’ while I was using HA…!?

Let me know if I am the only one experiencing this?

agreed very odd behavior:

(Jtc is a zone obviously …) but changing from a zone to home doesn’t not change the color to green. Also notice the fact the person entities dont get the same Home color…

especially considering the colors are expliticly set in the theme:

  state-person-home-color: '#008000'
  badge-person-not-home-color: '#636B75'
  state-person-zone-color: '#800080'

which does seem to work on the person badges.

The not_home color in the history-graph however, is not the grey I configure in the theme

New colors are great with the new tile card but not with “older cards” like the glance card. I mixed doors with windows and covers and my dashboard looks like a child toy with all these different colors 🫣😆 (was only blue and yellow before)
My only option now is to disable color based on state but everything is blue now… hard to see what is on and what is off

this a bug?

disabled the Local calendar:

Scherm­afbeelding 2022-12-08 om 11.42.19

yet Calendar still shows in the left side menu:

albeit without a calendar name listed, the actual events I made earlier are still no longer displayed.
There is no way we can get it to not show in the Dashboard menu, so, how do I do that

Mariusthvdb

thanks. confess I dont grasp what that PR does just yet, but have faith you have fixed it :wink: cool, thanks for the swift and immediate action!

wait, I see it now, last state was always used. the PR should fix that per entity in the graph. And because showing several entities in 1 graph, it was as if the same state was colored differently on another entity/person. that should be fixed too then. Nice.

Yes, this was already deprecated in 2022.6 (so 6 months ago) and is now broken.

See the breaking change in the changelogs of 2022.12:

YAML configuration of MQTT entities under the platform key (e.g., light), which was deprecated in Home Assistant Core 2022.6, is no longer supported. The configuration must instead be done under the mqtt key.

The legacy MQTT device tracker is no longer supported. See the documentation for the supported MQTT device tracker configuration.

As of this release, you should now use the modern configuration schema for all manually configured MQTT entities. Please note that this does not impact MQTT discovery, for example, Zigbee2MQTT.

Upgrade was smooth and quick as normal.

As a long-time user of Mushrooms I love the direction we are going, but i have to admit the change in colours did catch me out and took a while to fix. Detailing the exact css that needed modified would have been helpful, having the colour configurable on the frontend would have been better! :wink:

Great release again! :+1:

Is it possible to edit an event in the calendar?
As far as I can see it’s only possible to delete the event…

any chance we could up the granularity on the battery colors? experience shows that many batteries remain in the green zone for a long time, and only after lowering into the mid 50% or so, start accelerating downwards. Having more than 3 colors for high, medium and low is a ‘nice to have’

think:

        icon_color: >
          if (['unavailable','unknown'].includes(state)) return 'steelblue';
          if (state > 75) return 'green';
          if (state > 50) return 'gold';
          if (state > 25) return 'orange';
          if (state > 10) return 'brown';
          return 'red';

btw, this image is now obsolete Binary Sensor - Home Assistant

any chance the Frontend team could update that, its not something we end-users can easily do.

This is the climate entity - in Idle (heat) mode.

This is the climate entity - in Heating (heat) mode.

Can you see the problem?
Previously it went yellow when it was actually heating, now I can’t tell at a glance if the heating is actually on or not.

Pretty sure you don’t need a FR for this as it’s already planned and coming.
