Help us name a Home Assistant installation method (Polls added)

It’s why I originally suggested Supervised OS and Supervised but feedback was that the word “supervised” sounded technical and didn’t convey any understanding of the technology employed. Although I don’t feel it’s a technical term, I do understand how it may fail to convey the desired meaning.

As a result, I chose a different route which also attracted negative feedback. All this to say, it’s unlikely there’s one name that will please everyone. :man_shrugging:

Check, then I misinterpreted your post. I thought you meant you wished the devs would ask the community with decision making… Sorry about the confusion.

Yeah I purposely didn’t use that word whilst going with the suggested heading, I agree with you, not for the first time in this thread… and like your alternative (‘suitable for everyone’)

Thanks for doing the work on these polls. Is it an idea to link to these from the OT?

I’m less inclined to continue refining that table since I’ve been informed that all of the information is in the ADRs and inclusion of it here is off-topic. Anyone who wants to know the relative differences between the installation methods, can read the aforementioned ADRs.

Yeah, I agree, I personally have no problem with ‘supervised’
To be honest ‘supervisor’ was just the name given to the ‘layer’ that appears in so many HA Documents. Having read them and understanding its function it is fundamental. I don’t think we should apologise for that, it’s simply a small hurdle on the way to understanding ‘other’ installations. The price of moving on.
It is completely transparent on hass.io so what’s the problem and at least familiarises them with the term.

Sure, just added poll link in three difference places in OP (Staff notice, very top, very bottom of original post) and edited the thread title too.

Hopefully the results will help point us in the correct direction at least.

It is listed in the original start post of this topic…

For full completeness, they can be found here: https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/pulls

They are described individually, as this is currently the technical writeup, it will be extracted later to documentation. The form of how it is presented is not the current focus. Table, story, questionary, all kinds of things could be done. However, the focus now is setting a baseline to work from.

I suggest “Home Assistant Box” for the full OS version.

Keep wondering what an ADR or ADR might be, and where they’re kept?

I’m still grinning about “HA – The Full Monty” :grinning:

Additional Dialogue Recording ?

The link was actually written above your post…

The first ADR describes the ADR: https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/blob/master/adr/0001-record-architecture-decisions.md

Ok, thanks.

Sean, sorry, have I missed something ? Why the multiple polls, are you just slimming the herd by ‘direction’ , then we choose from the catagory winners ?

By the way, I thank you for the (fully sanctioned, I know) opportunity for the community to air their thoughts. Of late I am very impressed by the way communication seems to have changed and I appreciate that this must attract a higher overhead, but I do think the quality of feedback has demonstrated its value.

Cheers
:beers:

Yes, thank you, I know where the PRs are listed but where does one find the document associated with each PR?

For example, which link does one use to find the document proposed by this PR?

The first link in that PR (Add ADR-0015) leads to edits made to the document, not the document itself. How does one get to it from the PR?


EDIT

Finding the documents associated with each proposed ADR is not easy for someone unfamiliar with GitHub (like me). I wonder how many other users have found them, let alone read them. That’s why I felt there was a need to summarize the information so users can make informed decisions about selecting a name. The responses to the table were positive.

files tab?

That’s not the complete document either. It took some digging but I found it here:

I’m sorry, but it is the complete document. you are now linking directly to the same file that is listed on the link I gave you :man_shrugging:

The file tab, however, shows active discussions as well. The link you are sending now is missing that context.
