2021.11: Icon picker, device links and entity categories

Hi

Thank you for the explanation. I only ever use white with these LEDs at 100%, so never tried dimming but you are correct, the icon was grey when dimmed.

I will keep a close eye on the change as it would be great but not a deal breaker.

Thanks for making a great official integration.

Yeah, I moved away from the sqlite implementation years ago as it is slooow, but might be forced to return to it, as I donā€™t really want to spin up another implementation of sql for it.

I was not able to duplicate this in my lab, so I decided to revert my production to 2021.10.7 and restart the upgrade from scratch. Second time around, the media_control cards are all good again.

That said, someone from the HA team should take a look as these upgrades are inconsistent and have happened to a few people.

It looks, like it all settled down now. No more issue last hour. I suspect some caching problem in the browser. Using Firefox latest here on Win 10.

This is a known issue that just missed the 2021.11.0 release. The fix will be in 2021.11.1.

I was using the OpenGarage example in setup which had the attributes. It was working great and that ended with this update. I knew Iā€™d have to change things, but Iā€™m having problems understanding how to adapt the new non-attributes to the previous example - which seems to have disappeared. Has anyone modified it?

Be aware that some custom cards like the Mini Media Player and Vacuum Card are broken as of HA version 2021.11 and date 03.11.2021. My Lovelace tabs open fine but these have to be replaced by something else, or tapped to access the controls. I hope those will be updated as I really love them.

What about MS SQL support?
Are you dropping it in the future versions?

I donā€™t see it in the supported DBs in the release notes but it is still available in the current documentation.

Iā€™m sad to see that the AppleTV tvOS15 changes didnā€™t make it into this release. Does anyone know when that will be fixed? Automatic OS upgrades on AppleTV have me like :frowning:

After 15 minutes the dashboards with media_controller cards all disappeared

Anyone else having issues authenticating SimpliSafe with this release. Doesnā€™t seem to be an HA issue, SimpliSafe site just freezes up and doesnā€™t respond before getting the code that HA needs.

Check out New Simplisafe Auth - #8 by veep60.

I wrote the docs based on my own usage of Safari, but it turned out other browsers to other things. Iā€™ll update the docs soon; in the meantime, the thread above should help you.

Anybody else having problems with illumination sensors of Homematic IP? I have 4 combined sensors for motion / illumination and for all of them the illumination sensor disappeared.

I have the same issue.

with the changes to the Efergy integration in this release Iā€™m getting a warning every 30 seconds in the logs stating ā€œWARNING (MainThread) [pyefergy] Currency provided does not match device settings. This can affect energy cost statisticsā€.

Anyone else seeing anything similar? Both my Efergy Account and HA are setup to use Euro as currency so no obvious conflict there and not too sure where to look for this (particularly as the figures surfaced into HA seem correct)

Same issue here too! Everything close to a media player controller have disappeared since the update!

So far, I donā€™t see what could explain thatā€¦

Worked fine in the last beta. Upgrading to release version broke it for me

Here are some additional findings for me. I checked the raw config and the entries are still there, so tehy are not lost. If I keep hitting refresh on the browser they eventually show up. Please try that and see if they come back.

I keep seeing these errors in my log which refer to my lovelace dashboard.

I can confirm that hitting refresh they eventually show up again. A new refresh and they are gone again
