TYSM for explaining your thinking!
Even if I got used to not having scripts & scenes as badges - only seeing the āmore clutterā and āless practicalityā - you helped me see how narrow sighted I was.
I liked the material design approach (and independently of HASS, so did one of my esteemed professional colleague) and your reply enlightened me why the user experience was affected (having cards & actions mixed).
Nevertheless I still cannot accept the change and may have a suggestion on how to solve this dilemma: what about a color coding?
For example a blue outline or box could be applied to state badges, and red to actions?
(Iām color-blind in green tones, so I wouldnāt agree with the common green/red approach)
I may have missed something, but using views it seemed that my scripts/scenes groups arenāt sorted properly.
[grateful rant on]
Iām using hass mainly to manually set scenes & brightness across different manufacturers (6 lifx & 20 hue lights). so - with my limited programming skills - I already had to work around the way hass work to build a brightness slider. Thatās why Badges were really usefull to me as I was only using groups to display states.
I may not have said it already but I am really grateful not having to rely on IFTTT anymore : I saw too many web services go down over the last 5~10 years not to see how my reliance can impact my daily life (wink wink google reader).
Thatās how I started to value opensource and digital altruism, when I was young I learned through shareware & freeware, but as soon as I made a living I couldnāt accept not giving something back to the community, first through participation and then donations.
Seeing how you & @fabaff are contributing to this project really touched me, making me think back on my many fails to adopt linux, and more recently node-red (giving up after a synology update āate my paperā)
Same thinking goes to @mtremer who started an awsome firewall distro and in whom Iāve invested through an ipfire duo box, even if not perfect : invested and dedicated developers are rare, and evern more so in the opensource world.
[/rant off]
If I can help in any way, please me (us) know, I really feel like a donation button/shortcut wouldnāt hurt!
