2024.8: Beautiful badges!

robertwigley · August 15, 2024, 12:54pm

You can use a grid card to get three columns. Just place that inside your card, but I get that it would be nice to have this as an option for the sections layout natively.

stevemann · August 15, 2024, 1:34pm

You don’t have to update.
If you want a consumer-grade home automation, then go to Home Depot and buy a Lutron system.

I look forward to updates. There are almost always new features and integrations or improved components, and yes, sometimes we get a breaking change. That is the price of being on the bleeding edge of IOT. These breaking changes are often necessary to add new features or to add conformity at the developer level. (I do usually wait for the .1 release).

Using Home Assistant allows the user to automate just about anything, mostly limited only by your imagination. (And budget). You will never get that flexibility from an “Off the Shelf Home Automation” system. (Of course, you will probably never have to update an OTS system).

tom_l · August 15, 2024, 1:42pm

Actually this has been one of the worst updates I’ve applied in years.

Busted two major core integrations I use a lot and a couple of custom cards.

Is the the end of the world?

No.

Is it frustrating?

Heck yes.

Progress is being made on fixing the integrations. And it is partly my fault for not participating in the beta as I usually do. If the issues were noted in the beta they may have been fixed before release or held back from release until they were fixed.

stevemann · August 15, 2024, 2:06pm

Wait. What? Please elaborate. I thought history was history.

arganto · August 15, 2024, 2:11pm

More or less nothing to elaborate, as it is as it is: LTS are kept forever no matter what purge days setting you have

tom_l · August 15, 2024, 2:18pm

5 Minute max, min, average, (or total) LTS data is kept until your purge keep days. After that time it is down-sampled to hourly data and kept until your database dies without a backup

LTS data is only kept for sensors with a valid state_class.

Guys, new icons are great!
But what have real working WLED devices done to you? Why doesn’t the new update allow me to use my lamp that I spent a lot of time and effort creating? I have a couple of lamps on the ESP8266 with a microphone for color music. And the latest version of the SoundReactive firmware is 0.12.0. And you demand a minimum version of 0.14.0!
But such a version does not exist for the ESP8266! What should I do? Disassemble the sealed glass structure and completely remake it for a different controller? Where did the flexibility of the home assistant go? Are beautiful icons really worth breaking devices that have been working for years?

Duke_box · August 15, 2024, 7:06pm

I had the same experience when I suggested an update to the bluetooth tracker docs that a warning that the classic BT tracker didn’t work anymore after the upgrade of python would be beneficial to the community - but no that was an “issue” so not appropriate for the docs!!!

nickrout · August 15, 2024, 8:11pm

Sound reactive is a wled fork. It is an archived repo on GitHub. You can’t expect the HA devs to keep supporting an out of date repo.

But you might have luck with the moon modules fork. It supports esp8266

Vahaldor · August 16, 2024, 10:40am

In my case, it was about the wake on LAN integration to wake a device on network and return whether it is on or off. Frenck argued that it is a technology outside HA and that HA documentation does not need to mention, which port I have to use. So I spent a whole day figuring out why it does not work because the documentation DID !!! not mention the port.

I just checked it, the documentation is wholly rewritten, the port is mentioned even in the flow during adding the integration and our discussion on the GitHub is not there. We wouldn’t be where we are without the amazing passion of Frenck but this is really unnecessarily childish.

AVercammen · August 16, 2024, 5:05pm

I have a request. Without the icon text displayed it is hard to know the badge is about.
Could we show the Icon Text when hovering over the badge, like a tooltip?

Brunas · August 16, 2024, 7:11pm

Hi all,

Not sure this is correct thread but my issue started after upgrade to 2024.8.1. I can’t connect from outside anymore despite my still valid Let’s Encrypt certificate. Also, certificate expiry addon says about refused connection. If i restore 2024.7.4, all works again. I know there are several moving parts in the problem, e.g. haos upgrade to 13, few bumps of Let’s Encrypt… 2024.8.2 hasn’t fixed anything.

Sorry if this is in wrong place. Maybe someone could advice where I should start looking from.

Cheers.

EDIT: seems some problem with all those updates. Restored to 2024.8.0, applied all updates one by one, everything was on HAOS 13. The last thing to apply was 2024.8.2 - all works ok

Alexey_HA_newbie · August 16, 2024, 7:14pm

Hello.
Is it possible to resize the section width?

PickOne · August 16, 2024, 8:05pm

After I updated to 2024.8.2, from 2024.8.1, I get “Database upgrade in progress” AGAIN… amazing, not!

So… This could be a new thing with every update?! There’s nothing about this, written in the change log…

byt · August 16, 2024, 8:09pm

That is my configuration.yaml

# Loads default set of integrations. Do not remove.
default_config:

# Load frontend themes from the themes folder
frontend:

themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes
 
automation: !include automations.yaml
 
script: !include scripts.yaml
 
scene: !include scenes.yaml

scripts.yaml, scenes.yaml are empty.

I don’t know anything about that themes: And there are some blueprints probably made by system for motion sensors, motion_light.yaml, notify_leaving_zone.yaml and confirmable_notification.yaml

This is an interesting message:

The unit of this entity changed to 'ERR' which can't be converted to the previously stored unit, 'Wh'.
If the historic statistic values have a wrong unit, you can update the units of the old values. The values will not be updated.
Otherwise you can choose to delete all historic statistic values, and start over.

I found it in the developer tools / statistics when searching for the reason for the error in the homeassistant log.

Logger: homeassistant.components.min_max.sensor
Source: components/min_max/sensor.py:319
integration: Combine the state of several sensors (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 10:20:58 PM (4 occurrences)
Last logged: 10:22:13 PM
Units of measurement do not match for entity sensor.solarproduktion_gesamt

To fix the issue there are two options, I don’t like any of them:
Update the unit of the historic statistic values from ‘Wh’ to ‘ERR’, without converting.
Delete all old statistic data for this entity

Since the historic data is about the energy produced by my solar panels and I might need it for the government, I neither want to delete it nor to convert it to unit ERR, energy deserves the unit kWh

Any idea how to fix?

tom_l · August 16, 2024, 10:24pm

No, only when required and yes it is in the release notes.

https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2024/08/07/release-20248/#202482---august-16

This one should be a lot quicker. It took 6 seconds for me.

crug80 · August 16, 2024, 11:50pm

With regards new KNX feature, what about the entities already configured using yaml? I noted that they are not loaded into the “entity page” of the gui. Is it normal? @farmio
May I have some conficts adding new entities by GUI if I have already a lot of entities configured by yaml (splitted config)?

a_lunatic · August 17, 2024, 4:33am

I got a failed database upgrade and a lot of errors.

farmio · August 17, 2024, 4:48am

Hi !
Yes, that’s expected. See Manually created entities not shown in KNX-Frontend · Issue #140 · XKNX/knx-frontend · GitHub
There shouldn’t raise any conflicts using both, UI and YAML.
