2023.4: Custom template macros, and many more new entity dialogs!

pepe59 · April 7, 2023, 7:36pm

You can share your theme and top bar settings to the bottom border ?
I had the top bar moved down for a few years, but after the HA 2023.4 update it went back up and I have no idea how to get it back down.

arifroni · April 7, 2023, 7:55pm

i also get the same. in addition to that, i get black block at the bottom and when i reload the page at first i dont any chips at the top of the page.

Where is the side bar menu?

I’ve read this blog and I can see that there is a problem with the companion app for swiping right for the menu BUT i get the same issue using Edge. I have hide the side bar on in my profile so how do I get to the menus?

If I try Chrome and log in, the menu is there but as soon as I hide it in Profiles for that login I can’t get it back. I am running out of browsers!

What am I missing?

And therefore I can’t backup or re-instate or upgrade or… anything.

Just updated to 2023.4.1.

I am seeing this in the log:

EDIT: Found related github issue: MariaDB/Recorder issue after updating to 2023.4 · Issue #91019 · home-assistant/core · GitHub .

EDIT2: Usually I update HACS components before upgrading. I didn’t, but I should have. I restarted HA, then updated the components, problem gone. Probably related to Adaptive Lighting.

lweberru · April 7, 2023, 8:44pm

Thx. Will run it now.
Update seems still be active, recorder still not running.

LE0N · April 7, 2023, 8:57pm

Sure can: 🟣 Rounded - Dashboard guide

@arifroni, I had the same. It was because of an older custom button-card version. Updating it will fix the empty space at the bottom.

stevemann · April 7, 2023, 8:59pm

Post 39: “It is in breaking changes. You just may not realize it.”
Post 72: “Super hoping this is a temporary feature loss with the complete removal of polymer?”
Post 94: "WARNING: Polymer will be removed from window in Home Assistant 2023.5.
Post 118: “WARNING: Polymer will be removed from window in Home Assistant 2023.5.”

So, which post tells me what is Polymer and why should I care?

Mariusthvdb · April 7, 2023, 9:25pm

somehow I get the feeling you’re pulling my leg…

but, let’s put it this way: If you don’t see the warning in Inspector, you needn’t care.

btw, If you really want to know, there’s a link in the Blogpost to the Polymer library. Maybe you didnt spend the 2 minutes to actually read it?

big-ted · April 7, 2023, 10:14pm

To be fair it is in the section of the blog that starts with ‘If you are a custom integration developer’

lweberru · April 8, 2023, 7:09am

Any idea how to repair the alexa / cloud integration after release change? Integration now longer works. Alexa cant reach the devices any longer. Home Assistant cant manage the integration also, the manage entities page keeps loading forever.

arifroni · April 8, 2023, 9:35am

i have version 3.5 of button card but it doesn’t solve the black bar problem.

gffa325 · April 8, 2023, 11:17am

Same here. The entity states are in english (before is in Portuguese) and the rest os the UI is in Portuguese.
Any solution?

Moppersmurf · April 8, 2023, 11:37am

Never had problems with new releases before but ever since 2023.4.1 my HA keeps restarting at different intervals. I’m running on a Thinclient, Proxmox with HA in container. Hopefully it will be fixed.

petro · April 8, 2023, 11:41am

Please look through your logs for issues and errors and fix or report them to github. Don’t assume things will be fixed especially when we don’t have reported issues.

Ildar_Gabdullin · April 8, 2023, 12:15pm

Introducing global macros is a real feature.
Updated my observations regarding using macros.
Macros may be used in configuration (for template sensors, for instance), in Lovelace (for cards supporting jinjia, for card-mod), in blueprints, in Dev tools->template.

Moppersmurf · April 8, 2023, 12:46pm

Hi Petro,

Thanks, I know. Just a bit busy at the moment. But I found a couple of errors in the log that I will Google first:

hmm, restart is picky today…

Hi,
this is sad:

I lost my db after upgrading from 4.0 to 4.1
No more energy history for me…

Duke_box · April 8, 2023, 3:08pm

OK - my fault - sorry for the original post.

I use card-mod in my Themes to hide the menu button and I had forgotten. Doh!
But it is a shame the right swipe has gone because before you could have a minimal header and still get to the menu by the right swipe.

reefland · April 8, 2023, 4:26pm

After 2023.4.1 update, I had many log errors like this:

All of them have ValueError: '' does not appear to be an IPv4 or IPv6 address. While each of the message make reference to a components/dhcp, I don’t see a DHCP integration so I suspect this is from my UniFi Network Integration.
