Please stop forcing us to buy brand new Dashboard hardware and make GUI stuff work on older webview again!

Repeat, this is a custom plugin.

I know, what are you implying?

Given that they all start to break one after the other tells me there is something stricter in terms of requirements in Hass for HACS addons to work. I wish that could be rolled back.

22

It has been working for at least a year with the older version. I didn’t change anything. So no, I’m not using features depending on newer webviews.

23

Have you tried with HA 2023.12 and a previous version of card-mod?

24

No, Unfortunately I don’t have a backup anymore with a previous card_mod. I was so stupid to update the card_mod addon a few weeks ago, but not restart Hass back then. By the time I restarted Hass (yesterday) it had deleted the older backups with previous card_mod version already. (I only keep two weeks backup history)

At least I’ll update to 2023.12.2 (and OS 11.2), to see what that does. Currently on 2023.11.3.

25

My guess is, and I’m not a HACS developer, so not based on any facts, there is a generic HACS library that’s used by all/most HACS addon developers which got updated some time ago, with stricter requirements in terms of webview version. And everytime a developer creates an update to its addon, it now picks up this new version of the HACS library and includes it in the updated addon, et voila, older webviews break.

Answering myself:
tested iPhone 5S with iOS 12.5.7 with HA 2023.12.0 + card_mod 3.2.4 (previous ver) - card-mod not working.
Probably some changes in HA (11 → 12) caused this plugin to stop working on my old device.

So, agree: this particular case with card-mod caused by HA.

27

Still weird though, as I’m still on 2023.11.3.

Tested iPhone 5S (iOS 12.5.7) with HA 2023.11.1 + card-mod 3.2.3 → WORKING (at least with simple styles).

That was more or less my last working config as well.

30

Do you have issues with 2023.11.3 + card-mod 3.2.3 ?

31

No I think that was indeed the latest that worked, until I upgraded card_mod to 3.3.0. But like I said, I cannot revert back anymore to a previous card_mod, so don’t have the exact details whch version was last working.

Thanks for all your troubleshooting!
I’m on HA 2023.12.3 & card-mod 3.3.0 and indeed also not working.

34

I see I can choose older releases

Where is that, in HACS?
Ah indeed, under redownload. I’ll try that later.

Suggest to:

  1. Remove card-mod.
  2. Clean cache
  3. Install card-mod 3.2.3.
  4. Check on desktop which version is installed in Code Inspector. (sometimes I still see wrong version installed - so this is a necessary check)
  5. Open target device, clear cache, then test.

This was what I came here for. Just revert the cards giving you a problem and poof no more problem except a device that won’t allow you to update.

That wouldn’t have a place on my network anymore. I won’t keep a device that I cannot update for security purposes and current web view is 100% a security concern.

Thanks for all you work!! Now the question is, what exactly in 3.3.0 causes this to break.

I’ll try to revert back and later come up with a more future proof solution. Either try and root the clock or use a different device.

Complain to Lenovo, it’s their problem. Not HA, or the card devs.
