2022.2: Let's start streamlining!

[Hellis81]

There is something using CPU right now.
Not sure what. It’s too far from the update

Edit.
Looking at the time it seems to be about when we casted the news on the kitchen TV

Came across this one as a WIP: https://github.com/iMicknl/ha-nest-protect

For those using UniFi Protect from HACS before this update, I’m curious what the recommended upgrade path should be?

Personally, I first deleted the integration from the Integrations page, then removed the HACS custom integration and restarted.

I then installed the core version (by clicking the + Add Integration button from the Integrations page), entered my gateway username/password combination - and all my cameras were back as they were before.

from the Checker add-on:

Fatal error while loading config: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/multidict-6.0.2.dist-info/METADATA'
Failed config
  General Errors: 
    - [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/multidict-6.0.2.dist-info/METADATA'

I think I’ve gotten this before and just plowed ahead with no apparent consequences. Is it ignorable?

Confirmed had this in my pre-check - upgrade to 2022.2 proceeded without issue.

When an integration has a single device, clicking on the “1 device” link will now navigate to that device directly and skip the addition page with a table showing 1 item.

How do I get to the device addition page for the integration if I have only one device?

The new WebOS works for me, just had to add a new automation to allow switch on with WakeOnLAN

Turn on Action:

LG webOS Smart TV

Is it just me or is the “edit” button on cards no longer working. Can’t say it started with this release but it is the first I’ve noticed it.

EDIT: Nevermind. Seems to be a browser thing.

[TryingHA (James)]

I’ll have to give that a shot. I thought that was more of an example of how to use it in an automation and not what was needed to make it work.

[BebeMischa]

How do you control them? Which integration? There are more ways to work with Sonoff, we need more info…

Question: 2022.2 brings casting Plex to CCA’s which allows playing playlists from the google cast card, and that works great.

Is there a way to do the same (plex playlist) via an automation?

[Sp4wN (Ozen)]

Follow the instructions here at the second reply and it will work, don’t use the host url, just use the MAC adres:

webOS Turn On button disappeared

[tungmeister]

Yeah I’ve checked the commits and it should be sorted for 2022.3. It’ll be a nicer solution than the template sensors I’ve used for the last few years!

[benzo]

Is there a way to create a Button for weblink?
I need this to be able to send notify on clicked button. With all these changes i don’t understand if now possible.
Thanks

[TryingHA (James)]

@Holdestmade
Thanks to both of you. The automation add worked. I did have to included the broadcast address as it is on another VLAN. It is working as intended now and I will delete my universal media player.

Can you have both the new nest integration and the legacy nest integration setup at the same time?

[BebeMischa]

All of the dev’s, chapeau! I just updated and found only one issue.

Fritz!Box integration failed.

But, all of the other stuff I use (and it is A LOT) works fine. When i saw the amount of changes, I got scared after my older collisions with HA updates, but this time it went almost smooth.

So kudos for you, dev’s!

For those affected with the Fritz!Box integration, there is a issue to be found here:

AVM FRITZ!Box Tools: Setup not successful; no devices found

Simply switch to HOOBS. Works fine for me already for two years and can confirm it works in this version very well also Nest Protect. Look here for a tutorial I made nearly two years ago.

The new version of the Plugin for Nest is even more easier to configure. It does it all for you. It will take 15-20 mins to do this,

I made a crappy Nest Thermostat integration that will work as a stopgap until alternatives come out

Hi Mark I had exactly the same issues. In the end I gave up. My Nest Thermostat E with Google Account does not want to show up or make any entities. Tried everything mentioned here. I have now a working solution until Google/Nest gives us the API back again. I am using HOOBS installed on the same Docker Instance where HA lives. Within HOOBS I installed the Nest plugin with the same credentials. Installed it this way in a shell on the host (Not in a Docker Container): docker run -d -p 808…

[BebeMischa]

Homekit Controller is up and running on this release as I can confirm.

[bronco (Rene)]

SOLVED by removing the Yaml for Device_tracker.
When I switch to the new version i get 3 major issues

The zones are there. Status person.user says unknown.

Home Assistant IOS says this:

Any ideas?

Thomas1509, same here. My graph is not updated in the dashboard but the sensor is. Nothing seems to update on that dashboard. My separate devices doesn’t update either.
