LTE version of HA incl. plugins, so I don´t get bothered with functions that stop working

[dhrdemesmaeker]

Every now and then, some things stop working after an update.
In short “Ain´t nobody got time for that”
I can usually fix it easily, but this time, I really got annoyed.
Command line sensors and command line switches stop working soon and HA started warning me: " Configuring Command Line sensor using YAML has moved."
Configuring Command Line switch using YAML has moved.

I tried to just copy paste and redo the script into the right format but then I got lots of new errors like “friendly_name” is depricated/unknown, and some other things like that.

I can imagine that it would take extra time for developers to create support for “classic code”, but I have hundreds of command line sensors and switches. (Mostly scrapers that fetch information from websites that do not have XML/API-support…). Let us say, the non-standard stuff.

I turned off updates for now, to get around the problem.

Long Term Support (LTS) releases

Home Assistant is updated very frequently which is great ! But for my use case, I don’t need/want to update every week to keep up with the latest features. So I’m updating every 2 to 4 of months at the end of the month because it is more stable then. It would be very interesting and beneficial to have a LTS branch of Home Assistant which is updated with security patches, bug fixes when available but new features only when well consolidated (every 6 months for example).
