Yes, I am also confused about the long term stats. The blog says basically all sensors can use this feature now, but I see no configuration options anywhere.
Had to do it in 2 places - MQTT sensor and then add last_reset: ‘1970-01-01T00:00:00.000000+00:00’ via customize.yaml. Unit of measurement has to be m³ and not m3 -
Seems you were going to say something but the post is cut.
Regarding my case - there is nothing critical. The RPi HA setup is basically used for testing purpose, I can wait for the next update, there is no need for me to downgrade.
I’m so glad for the Homekit Device Automations! Finally a way to send button events to Homekit without awkardly mimicing a switch that goes on and off…
Is it possible to use though, if configured in YAML? According to documentation it’s something you add in the integration, but if you do it the YAML way there’s no option for it…
Looks like the GitHub issue was locked so responding here.
I sympathize with the HA devs as a developer myself. Bugs happen, it’s just a fact. My argument is that certain scenarios should probably be tested a little more thoroughly. This isn’t some obscure scenario AFAIK, it affects anyone running HA OS (or whatever it’s called now) with a Pi 3b+.
I do have an issue about the tone many are taking regarding this issue. Seems like some devs and mods are taking a very hostile stance here and I’m not quite sure why. As far as I can see, that vast majority of affected users are just trying to report what they’re seeing and getting responses like “you’re not describing the problem correctly” (boot loop vs core crashing, because the average user differenciates the two of course), or “maybe you should be a beta tester”. It’s not really constructive.
Regarding becoming a beta tester, I actually wouldn’t mind doing that if it helped the community. I know most people saying this are just using it as a device to victim-blame, but I’ll take you all up on that. Is there a guide somewhere where I can do that? I understand the mechanics of opting in, but how would one run their production (stable) instance in parallel with the test instance? In my case I have a z-wave stick in my Pi 3b+, but beyond that nothing too crazy. And not just running in parallel but also how to properly stage and mirror changes between the instances. I’m genuinely interested in helping out here if given some reasonable direction.
Because we’ve been urging people to join the beta to find these things and no one does but the same 20 people. Then we come here and there’s many people saying “Why aren’t they testing more”. Who’s they? I’m doing my part to help this open source community by running the daily build (the alpha) and I mod in my free time. What are you doing to help? What are others doing to help? I don’t recognize anyone who is complaining about this, so my assumption is: You’re doing nothing but complaining. And that annoys me. I wager many other people in my position feel the same way. Remember, this isn’t a mega corp, this is an open source software with severely limited resources.
This is the tone I’m referring to. As I mentioned, I’m more than happy to become a beta tester just tell me how I can help. I’m legitimately asking how I personally can help contribute, but it seems that everyone would rather blame me and others than actually guiding those willing to help address the issue.
EDIT: the “they” I’m referring to is the core HA devs. The ones who maintain HA and are responsible for testing and release. The same ones who made the decision to pull the release. “The people in charge”. As a mod, you may not be part of that set of people, but you are responsible for proper moderation and victim-blaming those affected by a system-breaking bug (especially one legitimately trying to take you up on your offer to beta test) isn’t a great way to interact with the community.
