Why are people asking the same questions over and over again? (Or the Regulars' Chatroom) 🤷

Dropping off shouldn’t be anything to worry about if you’re on the forums regularly.

I’ve been visiting practically daily for the past 4 years. Only decided to create an account last month so I could vote for the voice assistant projects.

Then I figured since I had an account, I might as well start posting & help people if I could. The only thing which delayed my badge was the 50 day requirement - all the rest just came naturally.

Just keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll be fine. All you guys in this thread are pretty active and your posts have helped a bunch of people, myself included.

I know, I know … but not only is it wrong, it’s the exact opposite of what you actually mean!

If you have a point, it was lost on me. I missed it.

I try to carefully say exactly what I mean and at the displeasure of others, often go back and edit my remarks should they look confusing when I read them back.

Today I was promoted to “Regular” (and I’m not talking about my daily constitution :slightly_smiling_face:).

I was very surprised and humbled. I owe a lot to many of you on this forum who I consider light years ahead of me on your HA technical knowledge and your dedication. Thank you!

It was 48 just a few months ago. The Cookbook should eliminate all Regulars :laughing:

The more the merrier, but I was liking the number 42, you know, because it’s the answer to everything.

Re: new release. Am I right in thinking that an automation (or whatever) can only be in one category? That’s a bit disappointing. Some of mine are in three or four. :unamused:

Yep categories are exclusive. Labels are not. Im quickly developing strong preference for labels.

Ah yes, labels definitely better. Still it seems a bit clumsy - all those filters and checkboxes, and only two of the labels are actually displayed. It’s probably fear of the new, but so far I prefer embedding tags in names - that works for automations, scripts and helpers.

Let me help you… There’s a template function to very easily return all members of a label.

You can build a label for literally any reason.

There ya go.
