Hide_if_away no longer honored?

Configuration
1

It looks like the “hide_if_away” field in known_devices.yaml isn’t being honored in LoveLace. I’m not sure if this is intentional or not since I don’t see this listed in the 0.86 changes.

I found this other post with someone recommending to use the conditional card; but if I’m honest that isn’t a great solution in my opinion. It takes a relatively simple process of changing a field and complicates it.

So I guess my question, is “hide_if_away” a completely deprecated field (that should be removed if that is the case) or should it be working like it has in the past?

Facing the same issue and conditional cards do not work when using “Badges”. Btw, it does not work in the Classic UI either.

I was going to just work around it with the conditional card, but it looks like I would need to make a separate card for each individual device since

Conditions with more than one entity are treated as an ‘and’ condition. This means that for the card to show, all entities must meet the state requirements set.

So instead of hiding only the ‘not_home’ entities, it will only show the card if ALL the entities are ‘home’. That just doesn’t work. I guess when I get home I’ll throw a ticket into the issue tracker and see what the deal is.
