Grouping Automations on frontend for organization

Feature Requests
305

FYI Paulus (Balloob) mentioned in the release thread for 2024.1 that they are aware of this feature request. They are looking into the current options and weighing out the pro’s and con’s. All the current methods they’ve discussed don’t check all the boxes and they want to vet out all possibilities before building something in. The team is hopeful that something may be added this year to address this FR. It’s not guaranteed that this FR will be added this year but he seemed very hopeful.

It wasn’t in the thread, it was at the release party: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRwzSkKYIDs&t=2280s

yes please.

This has been asked before, but good lord–this should not be that difficult. Can we please be able to put our hundreds of UI automations into FOLDERS? Or at LEAST be able to sort them by: enabled/disabled, date since last updated etc.??

The Nabu team said that they are working on it, ETA this year.

I should hope they’re aware by now as the OP was from 2019 :sweat_smile:

Very much looking forward to this when it arrives; thanks in advance!

It’s been known for many years and actively worked on throughout that duration. I’ve stated this multiple times in this thread but no one reads my responses. They just come in here to say +1 or complain. It would be great if people would just vote, read the marked solution, and move on without drama.

312

It was your response that brought me here. No drama intended.

313

It was a general statement, not directed at you

Well, it’s hard to say that it’s been “actively” working… more like “passively”… in 4 years almost half of HA could be made, not just one automations list upgrade… let’s say that all these years it was way down on the priority list…
But, hey, it’s finally confirmed that it will be done, so congrats and thanks for that. Looking forward to it…

Having rudly had my post removed due to “duplicate” I came looking for the duplicate to find this 4 year old thread showing that even now the feature is still wanted and not being addressed. In the space of 4 years a simple sub-folder system could have been implimented, im not sure what they are avoiding this for but i feel like its being actively shut down.

You did not read the post closely enough :laughing:

There is a very good chance that Floors, Tags/Labels, and Categories (folders for frontend) will come soon. It may be as early as 2024.3 or 2024.4.

would be very useful. Voted.

This feature delay is bordering on the ridiculous. Every single HA youtuber complains about this. The devs are overcomplicating this feature apparently. PUT THE AUTOMATIONS IN SIMPLE FOLDERS. Period. HA is getting to be a pain in the rear to use. Why push users to use UI automations if it’s impossible to manage them? And obviously this topic has NOT BEEN SOLVED.

Calm down. I gave an update 17 days ago stating that it would be in a soon to come release. It missed 2024.3, it will likely be in 2024.4 but may be delayed until 2024.5.

or in .6, or in .7, or… oh, well… we’re used to hear this now…
(btw…it’s 2024.4, not 2023.4 :innocent:)

Unlikely but possible. There’s a very large developer push for this at the moment. Testing and issues are the only thing that will delay it. Many of the features currently exist in the backend.

I looked to find the implementation branch or other developer discussion regarding the implementation of this. I could not find it.

Additionally, I have thought through (what I believe to be) a robust solution to this problem that would be flexible and require minimal modification to the existing UI and backend. I would love to be a part of the discussion and share my solution. It would also be an honor to work on this highly requested feature (I have a background in Python, React, and back-end programming).

Could you please assist by providing links to the current development discussions or branches so that I can offer my services?

Thank you in advance for your help.

floors (top 6 or so in the list)

There is probably more label PRs that are older. It’s been being implemented for multiple years at this point.

These 2 are the most recent dating only a few days/weeks back.

discussions happen here for the backend. Frontend has it’s own discussion section in the frontend repository.
