2022.12: It does matter!

Turns out that all that was required was a really trivial coding change :slight_smile: . I created a PR for it which I think makes the calendar a lot more usable from a visual perspective.

Turn off the polling, then make an automation with a time pattern and homeassistant.update_entity

I will give that a try.

Do you happen to know the automatic polling interval?

So, Iā€™m a little confused by person colours, there are 6 of us in the home, 5 zone history cards display in blue for ALL zones except not_home and I display as green for ALL zones except not_home.

Previously (whilst random) it was at least easy to see different locations as different colours.

Is this now by design?

A post was merged into an existing topic: I dislike the 2022.12 Color changes

No, I mean being able to mount NAS shares on HAOS so that remote media can be accessed and video can be written to it.

Ah ok - I can do that with DLNA Servers. When I set up HAIO initially it found the NAS automatically and they are seen in the Media Sources Tab in the sidebar and videos on there could be watched. I just played a few samples to try as I watch on an Apple TV.

Saying that though, looks like thatā€™s broken with the update ! When I just checked

besides the color issue, would there be a more generic discussion on the ā€˜futureā€™ of the HA interface? As I check https://www.figma.com/proto/ZPRTON7huEj9kyXzPNxNgK/Future-concept?node-id=263%3A7490 which is even captioned at that (Future), I fear all is centered around the new tile card.

Although it is a nice addition to the available cards, in my setup/personal preference, it is only used for a very small number of entities.

I certainly would hope, and like to stress, that the entities card is way more convenient listing many entities (obviously), and the tile card is consuming lots of screen estate.

If anything, please have more user base interaction than with the new color schemes. The team seems surprised there is such a big number of issues (most users dont care dixit Balloob, we got only positive feedback on Mushroom, dixit piitaya ). Or frustration, or complaints. Anger evenā€¦

Well, donā€™t solely rely on Mushroom users to be the generic type of HA users eitherā€¦

Just please have an open discussion on that outlook, so we can share what we feel is important in representing our smart homes, and the team can have their expertise create that?

Other changes are bound to happen that will yet again frustrate many of us that use soon to be removed possibilities/functionality.

And we will again have to propose alternatives ourselves. I am fine with that. But it isnā€™t the easiest of strategies, where other, more user base centered aspects could have been considered and suggested as alternatives.

Agreed. The tile colors are important to me as well. I ended up reverting to my last backup

There should also be an option to choose which colors you want to use.

Otherwise, thanks for all the great work guys/gals.

Every update I hope for some Energy Dashboard Love. So much potential in these times. Alas not this time

I love Mushrooms, I love some of their principles are moving into core. The ease of configuring tap actions from the gui, ability to add templating code, setting primary and secondary info, etc ,etc are all super cool. I think the direction of adding ā€˜Featuresā€™ to default cards is a great way of adding to what Mushrooms allowed while keeping the UI clean.

So yes I am a fan!

Yet as I look across my dashboard they make up about 5% or 10% of my total cards. Entities card is very much my main card, this is down to the low amount of real estate they take up. Hoping the direction we are heading is moving the flexibility and power of Mushrooms into other existing cards and not presuming the existing cards are not needed.

Since the 12.2022 the Philips TV addon no longer syncronizes the media_player and remote independently (Have Android Philips). Only when restarting the addon. Buttons work but a self update no longer works. Can someone help me with this? Is the error already known? I am new here.

Same Philips TV behavior here.

Wonā€™t load for me. Not seeing any errors after clearing the core log and trying to update again. Just seems to time out. Iā€™m using the generic X86 NUC version of HA.
This is in the supervisor log though:

Since the update last night I have had 2 crashes of HA on my Pi4. This morning I was getting memory alerts prior to the restart, but tonight there were no alerts and it just restarted.

Checked the logs and nothing untoward in there to indicate an issue. Pi4 itself is still stable.

My Pi3 running zigbee has been stable.

Anyone else had random restarts of HA ?

Iā€™m having the same issue since updating HA Core to 2022.12
Iā€™m running HA OS on a VM (Hyper-V) with 4 CPUs and 8GB RAM, and it got stuck twice for me with ā€œno memoryā€ or related message on the console.
This system has been running for month without any issues until now.
I had to Power Off and back ON the VM about 3 hours ago, and I took the opportunity to increase the Memory to 12GB (not necessary, but buys me some time) and itā€™s already using 4.6GB of memory.
Iā€™ve never seen this before, so Iā€™m assuming something is leaking memory really BAD :frowning:

Yes, I agree it does seem to be memory related. The memory history graph matches the times it crashed for me

Will set myself an automation to alert me when it starts to rise up again.

I definitely miss the cleaner look of device colors prior to this update. Consistency in device color doesnā€™t look quite as good as consistency of colors on a dashboard. Hopefully thereā€™s a way to fix this soon.
