Should I transition to Hass.io?

@kevince52 @kikan

I gotta admit, my experience of hass.io has been similarly buggy and I’m getting a bit tired of it as the days wear on. My AIO setup was buggy sometimes, but I felt like I had more of a grip of the issues and workarounds. The AIO setup also ran for weeks without intervention.

List of frustrations:

  • I’m restarting at least once a day now (either via ssh or GUI)
  • random slowdowns
  • automations have a 5-10 second delay that was not present before
  • Z-Wave seems to fall asleep randomly (requires reboot to get Z-Wave back)
  • Logs dont show up in ssh (where do I access my dang logs?!)
  • Upgrade process is unknown, and buggy
    • I have no idea how I can upgrade
    • I see no upgrade info in the Settings/Advanced Settings panel at this moment
    • I see others can upgrade quickly, at time of writing this I know 0.53 is out and others are using it
    • when I upgraded to 0.52.1 via hass.io GUI, it took a long time with no idea when it would be done
    • no feedback at all during upgrades, i thought mine was dead and decided to leave it alone (just in case) but it was done after ~20 minutes

On the plus-side:

  • I’m loving the hass.io add-ons!
  • snapshot functionality is ace
  • the ease of migration to hass.io was amazingly easy

Currently I’m running:

  • Host 1.0
  • Supervisor 0.60
  • Home Assistant 0.52.1

I use docker at work, so I’m familiar with it, but ResinOS is completely new to me.

I started a thread here to determine what I could do to go about troubleshooting, but no responses as of a few weeks now.

As @brendanheyu has indicated, it would also be nice to boot from an SSD.
That would solve some slowdown issues for me I suspect.

Otherwise, I’m getting more frustrated each day.
