2022.8: You can fix it!

Yeah likewise. I also have made extensive use of the lifx.set_state service which I would have to workaround somehow.

129

Same here, custom switches don’t work after the upgrade.

Ok, thanks for sharing the info. I’ll think I’ll revert also. Damn!

Edit: it seems to be already reported

The new Bluetooth integration has rekindled a discussion in my head…

I have a few Xiaomi BLE devices; e.g. temp and humidity sensors I’m currently using via “BLE to MQTT gateways” running on ESP32 devices throughout the house. It works like this:

Xiaomi sensor ------> BLE ------> ESP32 ------> MQTT ------> HA

With the new integration and a long range BT adapter would I be able to directly discover/setup tthese sensors directly in HA; i.e.?

Xiaomi sensor ------> BLE ------> HA

Regarding range, most of the long range BT adapters advertise 100m in open space. With the size of the house I get to any device within 50m between HA and the sensor. However I’d assume most BT devices still work within the 10m range. Could this work or am I restricted to the 10m range of the device? I’m only considering this if I can remove the various ESP32s around the house which don’t do anything else

Thanks for the help. Now I’ve gotten an eve motion, 2 eve energy outlets, and an eve room sensor to pair, but there are 2 eve weather sensors and 1 eve energy that still wont pair and keep giving me the same two errors in my logs. I noticed that the devices I’m still having trouble with have a black house on their homekit code stickers, whereas all the eve devices I’ve paired so far have a white house. Could there be a problem with the older generation devices (I think the black house is the older one anyway)?

133

I have 3 of the eve energy devices. One is older and two are newer that both pair. These devices take the longest to pair out of all of them so it might just be taking too longer. I’m working on a PR to speed it up here: https://github.com/Jc2k/aiohomekit/pull/130

I don’t have an eve weather, but I ordered one and will see if I can get it to pair.

The new map colours are far better than before but as I use dark mode for the UI and always used the dark_mode: false tag to display the map card in light mode, this is no longer working. Had a look around but found no answer, am I missing something?

type: map
entities:
  - entity: person.xx
  - entity: person.xxx
title: Where are We
hours_to_show: 12
default_zoom: 16
dark_mode: false
135

There is smth strange about “dark_mode” option.

136

so woke up this morning after doing the update last night to icloud intergration showing no devices, removed it and rebooted ha os and added again, no auth pop up and no devices added log reads

Traceback (most recent call last):

137

I just realized I have an ipad and an apple tv that might be interfering somehow. I’m going to try again tomorrow with those devices powered down. If you’re located in the US, I can just send you one of my eve weather’s

Hi,

Is it just me or is the icloud integration broken in this update? The location of the devices is unavailable since this update is installed.

For the rest: great update again! Thanks for all the hard work.

139

Hello! As i have installed the new update, the broadlink integration was broken. I have tried to roll back, but the backup page is just empty. Any ideas?

140

Any one else having trouble starting Node-Red since the update?

142

Yes, I noticed it was stopped and I had to uninstall and re-install the add-on as pressing start would not do anything.

I also had to do the same with Adguard add-on

143

Pfff nice update, why do they even mention breaking changes if it’s not even complete.

Now I understand why they called it “you can fix it”…

144

mine has been installing for 20 mins and the cpu is stuck at 200% utilised… is this normal? how long did the install take for you folk?

145

For people using both BLE monitor and the new Bluetooth integration(s) at the same time, it might be needed to enable active scan in the BLE monitor settings to be able to use both integrations. Without this change, you wont see data updates in the new integration.

I just installed the update and it took less than a minute.

Depends on your system hardware I guess, in my RPi probably 10 mins

Just for the sake of sharing my experience. After upgrading to 2022.8, HA kept crashing with the message:
MySQLdb.OperationalError: (2006, 'MySQL server has gone away')

But Mariadb was up and running. When I checked that log, I noticed:
2022-08-04 9:51:39 607 [Warning] Aborted connection 607 to db: 'homeassistant' user: 'homeassistant' host: '172.30.32.1' (Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes)

Turns out I had an older charset param in my recorder url (utf8) which should be:
charset=utf8mb4

I probably overlooked an earlier release note in ha or the addon. Anyways, great release again!
