I stopped filling it out part way. When it went away from Home Assistant relative questions, it became just noise.
Just know that these surveys can be used to send a company down a path that a small amount of users want and not what is good for the company. One person could hire a company to fill out thousands of these, how they want. Be careful where you are pointed when the dust settles.
Especially when the most paranoid persons on here stop filling out the survey mid-way and then complain when their voices aren’t heard… Just saying if you re-read what you did and what you warn against, there is a pretty interesting cognitive dissonance there.
I won’t say that I’m yaml challenged. But I can say that I don’t like yaml. Therefore I prefer the GUI over yaml. The GUI is getting better over time, but it is still difficult to make more complex automations. I prefer real programming languages to do that. Hence pyscript.
On the pyscript wiki are some awsome examples comparing yaml versus pyscript:
Example yaml automation:
- alias: some automation
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.test
to: "on"
condition:
condition: template
value_template: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.test', 'on') }}"
action:
- service: homeassistant.turn_on
entity_id: switch.test
Pyscript version:
@state_trigger('binary_sensor.test == "on"')
@state_active('input_boolean.test == "on"')
def turn_on():
switch.test.turn_on()
Yeah it took me about an hour. The more detailed you get, the longer it drags on. An option for a shortened version would be nice. I didn’t see anything like that in it either.
What do pronouns have to do with smart home stuff? Please don’t soil HA with sociopolitics. Enough already with the vocabulary surgery the UI has undergone.
People, it’s just a way to ask what your gender is. Relax.
Well that makes sense I guess. Although much easy just asking it plainly.
What's your gender?: ____________
Or y’all could just answer the question without putting a lot of thought into it.
The thing is that in the middle of a smart home tech survey out of nowhere you’ve got What are your pronouns? Really?
Who cares, move on. It’s really not a big deal. I’ll pass the along that pronouns are triggering to y’all for next time.
It’s not a big deal, it’s only part of my survey feedback, for what it’s worth; event if it’s pejoratively adjudicated to triggering.
English is not everbody’s first language and jargon even less so. I’m colour blind and clicked neurodivergent:yes. In the next question I saw my reading of the term to be clearly different from yours. So I clicked and that was it. I won’t bother again.
One of the first and most important rules in web design established by Tim Berners-Lee himself before 1996 was and is “Do not break the back button!” You should be banned from writing for the web ever again.
I clicked “back” and that was it. In the post I enclosed “back” in angle brackets and this interface just made it vanish. Not nice.
these buttons go forward backward in questions.
Also keep in mind, the poll questions were created by Nabu Casa, not the poll software. There may be a way to provide feedback to typeform on their website.
Locking, nothing good is coming from this conversation.
