You’re using multiple deprecated yaml fields. One of which was fully removed close_comm_on_error

Happy to try and upgrade again without these, but are you sure they caused all these error messages related to a serial connection?

The config will not load if you have an invalid config.

The deprecation occurred

It will retry by default on empty if retries is greater than 0, you have it set to 3. So all you need to do is delete them but keep retries: 3

You guys are seriously not suggesting entity-device-naming like above ?
In My “World” entity-names is mend for the System to handle, the shorter the better, without to many “underscore/dashes” etc.

There are Multiple ways of “handling” short-names, And these are also worldwide known “concepts” , or just find “invent” your own, which make sense , in your head, and in reflection to your “property/environment/Devices” etc

And an Area can be whatever you want it to be.
I have 2 Areas in my TV-Room(Which Btw is an Area also ) so that makes it 3 Areas
I have Areas covering 2-3 Rooms
2-3 Areas(For Specific Functions, related to the heating system) in the PanRoom( Which is also an Area )
I have 4 outside Areas ( And i have not decided, or considered whether they should be “grouped” in a Floor ( seems ridicules to me )
I have 3 “Balconies/Verandas” , Yes they are at it’s respective “Floor Level”, But it’s considered Outside Area
Garage, 3 step Down, or wheelchair slide if you prefer, No it’s not a floor(plan) It’s a Garage period.

Cut loose, don’t hang up your self on " Common Concepts, or Established structure " in Law and Planning" , you are blinding your self, and blocking your imaginations . Get out of your enforced paradigm , and use your “hidden” childish imagination :slight_smile: , and logic

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.

455

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!

456

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?

457

Watch out. He said -, not _.

One is a list, the other isn’t.

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

464

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
