2024.4: Organize all the things!

Great! some of your instructions I’m doing already whenever I do a major change configuration but this is an extensive step by step.
Currently my automation do not start by an “_”
As soon as I perform the upgrade most likely I will probably try the migration and see how it goes. Thank you.

Ok, i dont know how i would have figured this out from the error message, but i tried it and everything works fine now.
Thanks you so much!

Looks like that HA doesn’t fully support that caracter set like probably many others. Why you where expecting to be fixed in this version?

Watch out. He said -, not _.

One is a list, the other isn’t.

Good catch! Thank you.

You’ve given me plenty of reasons to avoid the feature, since I’d like to keep my config in packages. Thanks for the write-up.

How did you get that display?

It’s the standard Gauge Card

Try sending Bram lots of :pleading_face::pleading_face::pleading_face: to get that feature implemented!

Anyone else seeing energy dashboard glitching during a restart?

Awesome filtering options! Thank you :smiley:

As a feature request i would like to suggest adding a way to edit the default “Group by” filter. Everytime I enter the Automations page I have to change the Group by to Areas instead of Categories

It should be, it was missing a set of credentials for some (not all) users, I think depending on the app they created an account with. The missing credentials were added, plus if you have any shared appliances you should be able to see those. Let me know if you have any issues, we don’t have a ton of devices and logins to test with, but with what we were able to test with it was working fine.

Relplying to myself in case anyone was following. (I doubt it but don’t like leaving the report hanging…)

A second upgrade to .1 went fine.

Digging thru the logs on the snapshot that blew up MQTT, it was likely the age old problem of supervisor not waiting long enough for things to respond — and deciding to “repair” all the Dockers… which is well documented and generally ignored. Ha.

Cause: Shared storage was slow from other activities going on on it during the HA upgrade. Supervisor had a hissy fit as best as I can tell, and made it worse by reconfiguring every docker in the pile. Ha.

Just a known risk of running supervised I guess. It uses hard coded timeouts and has no real indication from the Docker that it’s busy or what the load average or iowait are on the hardware.

Well known issue. Throw faster hardware at it.

(In my case, avoid upgrades when shared storage is busy. Supervisor is brittle in that scenario. No big deal… my choice to use it…)

After updating to 2024.4 my voice commands on echo keeps responding with the device is not responding. Any ideas?

Yes, I have the same problem.

Now I get this error and don’t have any Homematic devices

Was there an intentional change in the behavior of the timer integration? Previously the state of the timer would always change to idle before the timer.finished event fired, now it always changes after the event fires. This breaks some conditional logic i was using in some automations.

Have no idea is my issue related to .4 or not.

Got a very crucial issue while attempting to test another issue.
A whole storage-mode dashboard was replaced by another storage-mode dashboard - i.e. I got 2 (almost) same dashboards:

  1. Assume dashboard_1 has 20 views, dashboard_2 has 10 views.
  2. You need to move card_X from some view on dashboard_1 to some view of_dashboard_2.
  3. Result: dashboard_2 becomes SAME as dashboard_1 - only this card_X is a difference.

And a json file for this lost dashboard is overwritten with a content of another dashboard.

What I tried to do:

  1. Opened that json file of the overwritten dashboard.
  2. Pasted a content of the same file from a backup.
  3. Cleared a cache just in case.
  4. But still the dashboard is shown as a copy of another dashboard.
  5. Fixed only after rebooting HA.

Consider this as a quiet alarm for those who prefer to keep everything in UI & convince others.

Same here! How to fix?
