finity
I was perhaps a bit harsh on the die hard users. Maybe this product is too much Open Source. Too many options, lots of developing but hardly a decent piece of documentation. Take for example the official page on how to set up HA on MacOS.
It is in no way leading to result.
A post in the forum by Erik Hendrix worked. Nobody seems te be bothered and change the documentation page. Installing HASS on MacOS (OSX)
I am old skool and I admit it without hesitation. I discussed the topic of documentation quite a few times over the years I worked in IT.
I once had a colleague whow told another coworker new on the job “if you need documentation for this, you are at the wrong spot.”
I don’t want to offend anybody doing a great job but I am puzzled by the simple fact I watch yaml files at github and there is not a single bit on how they set it up. Lots of examples posted in the forum show bits of code but nowhere do I read where to put it.
To someone in HA for over years probably something to giggle about and thinking “if you don’t know where to put it go finad something else to do”
I refuse and I will go on trying to get the things I would like to do working. Therefore with every succes I will put it on my website for others to read and comment on. I have no idea if I can keep it up-to-date with all the changes going on in HA.
I now run HA on a raspberry pi (no idea how to name this installation) and on a python Virtual environment on MacOS.
Installing it is easy compared to the configuring I would like to do.
Adding a simple switch in scripts(??) or in switches.yaml is impossible for me to achieve. So I think most of the die hards are correct. I am too dumb for HA.
Thank you for your answer. You are correct about the some of my statements not being fair. Funny enough I have never been accused of this in the past using other sometimes difficult to set up solutions.
Cheers
