If you want them configured via the UI you have to do it manually, as YAML is still supported.

I had the same initially, firstly with the Fritz Smarthome and somewhat later with the main Fritz tools.

As I don’t have any Fritz Smarthome devices I just removed that integration and then ignored it when it was rediscovered. Every time I tried to set it up using either the previously made HA user on my Fritzbox or the main admin user it failed (in my case possibly as I don’t have smart devices there)

For the main tools one, initially I had it set up with its own user. But that came back as a failed login, but I switched it to the main admin user (on your FB if you look at your user list, it’s the one fritz#### where the #'s are a 4-digit number, with the password on the label under the box unless you’ve changed it). it accepted that immediately and everything sprang back to life.

Which integration is giving you the issue? Smarthome, tools or both?

It will continue to work with yaml. It is considered advanced usage and there is no move to extend the UI setup.

In other words, you have lost nothing, it will continue to work.

Would be good to make auto discovery option for IP Cameras and implement video and picture taking options, would be very cool options.

It is still better to everyone to make a full backup and always jump into .0 release unless they see confirmed problem which will affect them.
Otherwise without proper testing you can get into problems with an .3 or even .8 release. Encountering the problem which didn’t affect other users.
So Backup.
Test.
Find a bug.
File a proper bug report.
If necessary revert back

Rolling back to the previous version using the CLI is usually enough, and faster. If that does not work then restore the pre-update backup.

I understand i havent lost any functionality however it does means maintaining configs in 2 places.

I like the UI because i do more and more with my mobile and groups being added is an excellent feature. Im hoping it can be expanded upon thats all.

211

No criticism, I am merely reporting what I read in #beta on discord :slight_smile:

Hi all developer :slight_smile: First good job Thanks.

213

The developers have been pretty clear about why this is not going to happen.

Entity Settings

215

Hey guys,

first of all: Thank you so much for your great work!!! :wink:

Since updating to 2022.4, I have no longer all entities in my Goodwe Integration. In 2022.3 I had abou 150 entities. Now, I only have 10?! I removed and installed the integration, but I had no success -.-

Can anybody help?

Best
Felix

Is is just me, or is it no longer possible with this release to set an input_text to an empty value via a service call:

service: input_text.set_value
target:
  entity_id: input_text.<your_input_text>
data:
  value: ''

Whereas this worked in 2022.03, nothing now happens with this service call - the state of the input text is not updated, and there’s nothing in the logs.

I use this is in a few scripts where I need to save e.g. the results of a music search for later use in the script, and often test against an empty value in the input text before taking certain actions.

If someone else can confirm this, I’ll post an issue on GitHub - or would be happy for suggestions of workarounds.

Not sure if this kind of information was implemented in this release but this is very helpful. Thank You

Change the title of the config entry in the UI

Switch as X: it would be fine to have the option switch as an “invert switch” when the switch is on the working machine is off and when the switch is off the working machine is on !! Thanks for all

Samsung TV integration still unable to actually turn on my NU8000 Tizen TV, despite years of seeming progress. Luckily there’s the wonderful Samsung TV Smart that works pretty well.

Hey Nick,

would you be able to suggest changes/help me out here 2022.4: Groups! Groups! Groups! - #175 by Mariusthvdb
Checked the Release party and you’re mentioned as the mastermind behind all improvements :wink:
looking for a way to ‘subscribe’ the entities to get the changes back in without refreshing the view.

thanks if you could!

Set up a template switch to do that, then use switch as x on the template switch.

223

I assume this is because you can now designate a switch as a light in it’s entity?
