I agree this is really bad and said as much in the notes blog in the last release.
It causes a user to think nothing is happening and only when they click update again do you get a notification that it is already running - and that is an Error notification. So a really friendly UI design!

100% on board with your comment. Current HA administrators must have amnesia!

It may be a bit hyperbolic but it is not false. I donā€™t want other people to design dashboards for me, let me remove them. Completely.

Let me be clear, the designing only happens if you open and use it. So itā€™s literally just a button on a list that youā€™re upset about. Thatā€™s what I mean by false.

If you donā€™t use it, itā€™s doing nothing.

Talking about automatic dashboards and ignoring the (subjectively) annoying ā€œOverviewā€ default dashboard that we can now finally zap away from ever being seen (except as one futher point in the dashboard list)? Yay!

This update seems to have broken a lot for me with no indication of why or how. When I go to settings->Add-Ons now I am presented with a solid white page that never loads or does anything. Logs show the add-ons still running, but the few that have interfaces if I try to connect to them Iā€™m shown the same solid white page. HACS being one of the notable broken items. Even though all the HACS components are still runningā€¦

That seems like a caching problem. Have you tried to clear the browser cache (or front end cache if you are using the app)?

I did. Funny enough when I ran ā€œha supervisor repairā€ from the console and then rebooted the host all the new tabs disappeared from the left side and everything started working again. I had to look at the version information to make sure I hadnā€™t booted into a snapshot or something.

Question on ā€˜Homeā€™ Dashboard; Iā€™m reading this in the announcementā€¦
The **Home** dashboard can now be found in the dashboard list (still not visible by default),

I already have a dashboard named ā€œHomeā€ā€¦ is this going to cause a problem that I need to handle prior to updating HA?

thx

Pretty sure all user-created dashboards are required to have a dash in the URL, to prevent aliasing with system-generated dashboards, which are all single barewords.

So check the URL of your dashboard, itā€™s probably something like dashboard-home, in which case there will be no problem.

Whatā€™s the YAML to add the sidebar to another dashboard?

Pretty disappointed that we are at the end of the year and still havenā€™t seen any movement towards this:

Iā€™m see these new errors from my sensors.yaml file:

Configuration errors
Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: while parsing a block collection
  in "/config/sensors.yaml", line 8, column 1
expected <block end>, but found '?'
  in "/config/sensors.yaml", line 40, column 1

from this yaml beginning at line 8:

- platform: time_date
  display_options:
    - 'time'
    - 'date'

and at line 40:

template:
- sensor:
  - unit_of_measurement: meters
    default_entity_id: sensor.ssk_iphone_accuracy
    name: gryphon GPS Accuracy
    state: '{{ state_attr(''device_tracker.gryphon_ios'', ''gps_accuracy'') }}'

I have several ā€œ- platformā€ sensors defined.

am I the only one annoyed with the deprecation of the CUPS integration??
