0.73: Preview version new user system, Rachio cloud push and Lovelace goes wild

Enabled username/password authentication and getting prompted for a username and passoword which works, but password is not masked as ***. Is it supposed to be so?

posting this only to show that even a total novice can begin to figure this out. I use a tablet in kiosk so I have to keep the panels uncluttered. this is just the first layout. will learn to customize more.

I didn’t change anything, just restarted and it works…just now all my zones have an entity id with a 2 added to them…for example switch.back_yard is now switch.back_yard_2.

yea the old integration added the switches to the entity_registry.yaml for now you can remove those entries from that file and restart home assistant to remove the _2

All fixed…thanks

Another change not mentioned in the release notes above that may catch people by surprise (it did me) is that the behavior of the lock toggle in the UI has changed. As of 0.73 the behavior is now reversed:

  • the toggle is off when the door is locked
  • the toggle is on when the door is unlocked

38%20AM

previously it worked the other way round

For more information on this change and potential future changes around the lock UI see 73.0 -- lock status is inverted and the corresponding issue in Github https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/15276

Rachio is failing for me on all 3 components: hub, binary_sensor, and switch. There isn’t a lot to get wrong on syntax here. It was working before the update.

We just released 0.73.1 which removes the toggle. No more confusion!

Also still having problems with pollen.com in this release:

2018-07-08 13:00:53 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.sensor] Setting up sensor.pollen
2018-07-08 13:00:53 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.sensor] pollen: Error on device update!

KeyError: 'allergy_index'

My config for this component is unchanged from 0.72.1, and still matches a “correct” config according to the documentation for the component. Oddly: one of the conditions I’m monitoring is “disease_average_forecasted”, and though that no longer shows up as an entity for me, I do now see “sensor.cold__flu_forecasted_average_2”, which would appear to be the same data under a different name; a name that is not listed in the documentation as a valid entity.

Please post a bug and we’ll take a look.

Fist, I love the new UI. The glance card is especially nice.

It would be really nice to be able to change font size especially on the aforementioned glance card as the names get shortened with only a few characters on my phone screen.

For the lock, the change to ‘lock/unlock’ does fix the ambiguity of the ‘on/off’ service, but it creates a new problem for me. I was using the switch as both the service to toggle on/off and as the sensor to see if it was on/off. In the current state, a locked door has the word UNLOCK and vice versa. This is confusing. I now have to create a sensor to show LOCKED and UNLOCKED. This is still confusing if I have both on the same card.

I think a color change of the locked and unlocked icons would fix this problem for me. The current icons are practically the same at-a-glance. With a color change, like the door and window binary sensors, it would be visually apparent.

I fixed it by renaming my Rachio controller in their app.

Lol, this confused me for a good hour as I couldnt figure out why my door was unlocked.

how about finally supporting the new raspberry pi 3 B+. bought it months ago and its been gathering dust ever since…

rest of the stuff is OK I am just a little bit bitter about not supporting the newest pi…

It is supported in new HassOS https://twitter.com/pvizeli/status/1016720869702455300

I have a question, to get the layout to show properly can any Jpg be used?

I haven’t made a layout.jpg yet but I have tried to get a picture to show just to experiment with it.

I love the new UI thanks to the devs for the work you all put in!

is it possible to mask the password?
is it possible to submit username & password upon pressing the “enter” key, so you don’t have to use mouse in order to click on the submit button?

Is anyone having problems with google mini being discovered in 0.73.0? I keep getting a “State not available”.
