Yep, and the Dismiss button doesn’t work on the notification. Not sure where to file the bug :wink:

Huge thank you for the inclusion of Generic Thermostat helpers. With this summer’s heat, I’ve been trying to mimic one using template triggers in automations and only mostly getting it working right. Things started working within minutes with the new helpers!

Anyone have the updated scrape values to get the latest HA version? Appears the website update(s) have broken my current scrape sensor:

Why aren’t you using the version integration instead of scraping the value from the website?

Reading the headline, I was hoping my feature request would’ve been implemented, but it looks like it’s still not possible to Maximize a Card to Full-Screen. :slightly_frowning_face:

Great update as always! But I don’t understand the new resizing. If I have a dashboard with a maximum of 3 columns, why when I want to resize a card I have a grid with 4 columns?

If I want three cards like 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 how it suppose to work?

I was excited for timers but my android tablet (lenovo thinsmartview) says “this device can’t do timers” and same for the web interface… If I ask to turn on a light after 20 seconds it turns on immediately … so timers are just for two ESP32 devices?
a bit disappinted…

Mashing that update button to be able to tie my template sensors to a device.

Some of my HomematicIP Cloud sensors (group, shutter contact battery and weather plus) were duplicated. I do not want to loose long term stats, reverting back to the previous version.
Any ideas?

I tested running an automation using Assist, but it only enables / disables the automation instead of running it? Using ChatGPT in Swedish. Perhaps that particular configuration isn’t working properly, or are there anyone else having the same issue?

(Yes, I remembered to add the automation to the assistant)

I’m stupid. Somehow I thought the update was the automations that were added and could be executed, but it was the script. I’ve tested it and it works perfect :slight_smile:

The Core 2024.7.0 update seems to have broken at least one aspect of my card_mod implementation. 2024.7: Time to resize your cards! - #23 by Rob180
Specifically:

        card_mod:
           style: |
              ha-card {
               .more-info {width:0;}
              } 

Aynone else seeing this? I had to roll back temporarily.

May want to add a note if you can’t see the Layout tab on the cards to clear cache. Was raking my brain on Firefox why I didn’t have the feature. Looked at Chrome and it was there. Cleared cached on Firefox and it appeared.

I tried resize new feature, 4 slot tile card with brightness now taller than before. Before it occupied less than 2 rows and looked more compact (nicer). Now the limit is 2 rows.

Some ideas:

  1. I would like to select grid with the cursor like in Excel
  2. Maybe empty space filler card to create a small horizontal gap? Or configurable horizontal gap where you can set size of the gap.

Am I reading this correctly that if I update my Aladin Garage door will stop working with HA?

Looks like it, assuming it uses Aladdin Connect. Disable Aladdin Connect by joostlek · Pull Request #120558 · home-assistant/core · GitHub

hm… I’ve heard about this issue from others as well.
I am not sure about the root cause of it, but there was a PR for adding the HmIP-ESI devices…

It also appears, that the upstream-library (homematicip-rest-api) was probably rewritten - this might have caused this issue.

Unfortunately, it was not mentioned as breaking change in the PR by the code owner… and it also seems, that no one with Homematic IP integration participated in the beta-test.
Then, this would have been noticed earlier :frowning:

I’ve created an issue for this:

Maybe, you can add more information to it?

you can use the cursor to select the grid :slight_smile:
I did this the whole time during the beta to resize my cards.

And as far as I got, more improvements on the tile cards should come over the next time…
