WTH Do I still need to be a rocket scientist to get things done in HA

@ThisWayToo

A lot of HA users are not like that. After the initial flurry of setup and configuration, they then may very well be completely hands-off for many month long stretches. It is that kind of case in addition to the brand new users that needs to be considered when it comes to GUI

WTH is there no way to insert common templates into template fields?

f.e. a button with dropdown list to insert things like get entity state ( or attribute) . I imagine this similar as f.e. in some text editors i can insert some regular expressions for searching. Or at least a help popup i can copy the yaml from. Every time i need this i have to look up the syntax i dont remember correctly. I think this would be of much help for new users.

Just sayin’, the 2025.1 beta release notes list at least 9 WTH’s that have been implemented already.

Cool! How many of them are user interface related?

Pretty much all of them, in one way or another.

[petro]

most of them.
