wow, super happy a new fork is now available.
been crossing my fingers for some time for this.

although very grateful to Thomas for creating auto-entities in the first place, we had a lot of unresolved stuff for a very long time now.

an actively maintained version of one of the most important resources in my config.
couldn’t be happier!

Is the upgrade just a matter of uninstalling old and adding new? Anything to be aware of when replacing the integration.?

Question asked with gratitude. :slightly_smiling_face:

Just tried adding repo and I get error

<Integration Lint-Free-Technology/lovelace-auto-entities> Repository structure for v2.0.0 is not compliant

@KennethLavrsen yes, just uninstall and reinstall.

Will check on this. I have tested a lot and have not come up with this before.

UPDATE: @KennethLavrsen repo updated to include a topic and image in readme which HACS requires for validation. Also added direct HACS button for custom repo in the original post to make this easy.

UPDATE 2: I did some further reveiw and the original error you presented suggests you tried to add as intergration rather than dashboard, hence the error. The validation errors I noted and fixed above are non fatal for validation.

working as expected here, didnt see a pic of the info styling yet, so here’s proof :wink:

As a silly question, but if this is improved code and such … why not push to originl owner … or take the project. What would anyone want two different ones and SWEAT bigtime to switch them.

A good question. It’s a case of no response from requests like you suggest so time for a new fork.

OK. Good answer.

As the author of all the Sports Standings and Scores among many other things that use auto-entities … I’ll bite (or byte).

I will give it a whirl and see. If you are confident, then I will do it.

2.0.0 is the evolution of 1.16.1-dcapslock.x versions that I have made available over time, the last being 1.16.1-dcapslock.11 before switching to 2.0.0. The fork build CI uses semantic-release now so much easier get patches out quickly.

If you are new to auto-entities check out the readme.

If you have any further questions please ask.

Read that, but not getting the gist yet… its all code, whats the result?

15

Auto population of entities to a card. Default being an entities card.

Just leaving a comment here to show my appreciation for the contious work of mission-critical integrations :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey Darryn, what a nice surprise that you’ve released a fork and will continue to maintain it!

I’m very happy and would like to thank you, as I so often do.:pray:t2:

I’ll replace it right away at the next opportunity.

Easy swap for me.

  1. Add new repo to HACS
  2. Remove old auto-entities
  3. Install new auto-entities
  4. Refresh browser
  5. Party :partying_face: :tada:

Thanks for updating this! I’ve noticed several of the projects from @thomasloven seem to be unmaintained now. For instance GitHub - thomasloven/hass-favicon: 🔹 Change the favicon of your Home Assistant instance which I use on nearly all my HA installs.
