2024.4: Organize all the things!

Nick4 · April 4, 2024, 10:12pm

I started over (from backup) with 2024.3.3 and worked fine the second time.
Thanks a lot for helping anyway!

Same for me, additionally, one of my presence detectors isn’t working anymore.

Sorry. I’m traveling with only my phone, no PC, makes grabbing logs klugy. I reinstalled to get the logs.

sparkydave · April 4, 2024, 11:35pm

I’ve raised an issue on GitHub for this.

PlayFaster · April 4, 2024, 11:58pm

Hi. Yes, I’ve seen this as well. Actually started happening with the previous release, 2024.03, same as you describe, the secondary sensors present, the main not. I think the main appears once it delivers updated values. A reload of the integration also seems to solve the issue.

Issue looged some weeks ago #112848 here, serveral peple experiancing same, some idea of cause but no resolution in sight at present.

Eugene_Niemand · April 5, 2024, 12:03am

No it definitely isn’t just that. Every time I’m on a new network it defaults to overview. Also why can’t we change the default for users, for ex my kids only need a limited dashboard. Every once in a while I have to take their devices an set the default again. Also this can’t be done if you’re not an admin, so I first need to elevate them, change dashboard then remove admin access. Doing this for a few devices and users becomes really tedious.

sparkydave · April 5, 2024, 12:06am

Yep, there is a feature request that has been going for years relating to proper user control, permissions etc. No idea why it hasn’t been dealt with yet.

I would think that setting the default dashboard for each user should fall under this same request for user control.

rjing001 · April 5, 2024, 12:25am

NO Labels are not packages. I want Package support in the UI. Currently I can’t even edit my stuff in the UI, because I use Packages in my configuration. Additionally, if we had packages, I could select a package and all the components would be shown (automations, scenes, scripts, helpers, user defined sensors, etc.) all on the same page.

sparkydave · April 5, 2024, 12:38am

Using Labels you would technically be able to do this. I also use Packages and am considering moving my code across to the UI. By creating a Label for each Package I could do what you suggest, to put up all related items.

Ildar_Gabdullin · April 5, 2024, 12:43am

Packages are not only about categorizing.
Means - can be replaced by labels only in some rather limited sense.

sparkydave · April 5, 2024, 12:45am

They are about ‘organising’, which is what the new ‘labels & categories’ are also for.

Ildar_Gabdullin · April 5, 2024, 12:46am

Same, see no reason to argue about it
Can you move “labeled stuff” to another HA setup?
Can you disable whole “labeled stuff” & reenable it?
Guess you are missing what packages can be used for.

dedi · April 5, 2024, 12:53am

Oh the very first 3 things I tried out don’t work! I hoped with the reorganizing this would also work.

When searching, the string needs to be exact. To the point where I search 2 words, and it does not list everything that contains these 2 words, they must be one after an other. This really sucks, as I don’t remember the name exact enough.

Example: “Announce if somone gets home”. I can’t search for announce home

Also some sort of lazy searching would be nice, if I make a small spelling mistake.

I can’t shift-click to select a range of checkboxes. I have to click and click and click…
I can’t drag and drop something to a label or category (like we drag a song into a playlist)

Looks like there may be an issue with the utility meter:

github.com/home-assistant/core

Utility meter no longer rejects unknown state

opened 12:22AM - 05 Apr 24 UTC

tomlut

integration: utility_meter

### The problem Previously changing from an unknown state to a value would be r…ejected by the utility meter. This no longer seems to be the case. I just had some switchboard work done and on resumption of power a large jump in the total reported by the utility meter occured. The source sensor **did not go to zero** when unavailable.

sparkydave · April 5, 2024, 1:07am

I get your point on disabling etc as I do that myself, so it’s not lost on me.

Moving things to another HA setup… Sure, you could hit ‘edit in YAML’ for each thing but yes, it would be tedious and nowhere near as handy as copying an entire Package file.

With the push for UI based HA I don’t think we will ever get what we originally wanted with regards to Packages in the UI.

Ildar_Gabdullin · April 5, 2024, 1:09am

Sorry, I do not understand what you wrote. Let’s stay with own opinions.

b24home · April 5, 2024, 2:38am

I’m confused on how to best make use of naming conventions and uses of labels, categories, areas, and floors. Is there a guide yet?

sparkydave · April 5, 2024, 3:54am

The best I can offer is to watch the release party video if you haven’t already. People are all going to have their own ideas of what is considered ‘best practice’.

teskanoo · April 5, 2024, 3:55am

Thank you so much Bram - I totally overlooked that there were checkboxes against the labels in the ‘Add Label’ dropdown

Thanks too to boheme61 for clarifying
