2023.12: Welcome home!

Thank your very much @karwosts for adding the feature to display statistics values in the history graph. That’s one of the best and most useful features this year.

I still have some confusion around this. Is long term storage something new? And its completely different from the 10 (default) recorder?

Long term stats were added when energy was added. So 3 years old maybe? Yes it’s a separate database optimized for numerical values and it aggregates the data instead of storing each state change.

found a bug with the deep linked to do links, looks like they end up defaulting to whatever was last selected as a todo item. So if you have 2 items and copy the link for Item A and select Item B, then when you open a new tab and paste the URL it open Item B instead of Item A. This impacts desktop and mobile.

Thanks for the heads up. I had to change a setting in pfsense haproxy to get mine to work also.

@marcus22 @Duke_box @SanderKo85 (and anyone else who had the thermostat card remove Power, Heat, Cool, Auto, etc)

The autogenerated UI will now default to exposing HVAC modes in the thermostat card, which will give you that functionality back without doing anything. This will be available in 2023.12.1, which is planned for tomorrow.

@Ih8rain2 it looks like you’ve taken control of your dashboard, you can add/remove features via the UI. Not sure if you saw that because your last post claims you can’t find them.

As for those who control your UI,

Result:

Also 2023.12.1 will bring back the 30 second scan interval for ping.

No I rolled back to the previous release where the thermostats looked fine to me. See my post.

Ok, just keep in mind that when you update (to any future release), you’ll need to add the features to your configuration because you aren’t running the default dashboard.

I checked features drop list but doesn’t have anything useful.
The only thing nice about the new thermostat (for me) is the ring. The rest is a step backwards

I would just be great full if the target temperature and the actual temperature would be switched.

and if you want your climates to use a saner step than 0.1 simply add

homeassistant:

  customize_domain:

    climate:
      target_temp_step: 0.5

works just beautifully

I suggest you vote for this Feature Request:

FWIW, I also prefer to see a larger current temperature (and smaller target temperature). My physical thermostat (an HAI Omnistat/2 that’s well over ten years old) displays it like that.

The thermostart card - not an improvement, at least not yet

First thing to draw the eye on a dashbord : the HUGE BRIGHT coloured mode-change buttons on each thermostat - not the thing you want to detect first. They are BRIGHT even when the thermostat is idle and otherwise low-tuned - seriously ?

Second thing you detect is the setpoint - which you already know - where is the current value, get your glasses…

The update removes functionality from the dashbord - yes it’s possible to get that back by making additional configuration - but that is not what you expect every end-user to do, typically it’s a task for the one(s) doing maintenance. Thus this was a breaking change - but not listed as one.

That won’t be a reason for adaptation… there probably is no real life thermostat around without a flame when heating, and yet… :wink:

Hi, Im having an issue of when you press a mode button on the new thermostat card it jumps up to the top of the page, how do I stop that?

Thanks

just tried it. For now, it’s useless.

You’ll have to provide more details. It’s working as expected on my end.

It had adapted to the long-standing convention for several years, up until this release when it appears that a tech bro chose to ‘disrupt the thermostat paradigm’. :thinking:

Here’s a video of what’s happening- https://youtu.be/87ecSI7cCOI?si=jRTCZwnQk-4xFuJO
