One feature I would like to have is to have HA ignore certificate errors for "local ONLY connections" this way managing dashboards/wallpanels will be a lot easier for users who also like to have remote access. Tried setting it up trough multiple ways, but none of them worked. Would love a updated guide on how to setup duck-DNS/remote access, and have "secure local access". since most ones are over 3+ years old. and many things have changed now.
Though my update hasn't pushed yet, super-excited for the Automation organization improvement; especially since I was one of the people requesting drop-down groups!
Is there a way to see the automation on/off toggle on mobile? i can see it on my computer dashboard, but not on my phone. its easier to switch an automation, vs clicking the dots, scrolling and clicking the enable/disable everytime.
do you have a posdcast format for people that just may not have the time to sit and watch a whole 10 minutes video and have to constantly weight the importance of a video vs spending time with its children, where you are the host and there is a second guy that doesn't know anything about home assistance and would like to get involved and not only 4 people that are to much into the home assistance hobby that don't ask the newbies questions? a podcast where you talk what could be done, and if the person get interested it would have a link to all the videos tutorials in the show notes, a whole new audience that you could put some ads on the podcast and bring more people to your RUclips channel and would have around half hour to 1 hour and a half so we could use the phone to skip to another chapter or cast as little as possible cause most of us are driving working or doing things that a 13 minutes episode would have us to get the phone out every 13 minutes if so let me know
Nice, one. My favourite feature would have been the one that isn't in any more :( You forget to edit your intro where you mention the _security improvement_, sorry I mean the super cool feature that got cut from this release. But don't worry, I'm sure it will be in the next release along with some "also cool but not as cool features".
I'd love to have a video on your thoughts on the state of the open home presentation Lewis, there was some really interesting stuff in there including roadmaps :)
I think generally people see green as "secure" and red as "not secure" which is why the lock colors are set that way. I know if I see something red I'm assuming it's a problem or something I need to look at while green means everything is fine.
I understand the logic behind good = green = secure but when I think of locks in the real world, red always means locked and green always means unlocked. If I walked up to a door with a light indicator and it was red, I'd think the door was locked.
@@TheSlimHim Funny how that works. If I walked up to a door and something was red next to it, I'd also assume it's locked. But if I'm looking at that same door as a sensor or something in software I would assume it's unlocked. Same door, same color, but where I see it apparently matters in my head. Totally get where you're coming from.
You should take some time to update as sooooo many things were added/fixed 🥳 Go 1 by 1 major version and look breaking changes at all steps, but they are much more since many releases 😌
@@EverythingSmartHome Right now for my automation's I just have a big list... I actually answered my own question while typing back. I didn't know categories was basically the way to organize automations! I was thinking it was more of a type of folder situation.
What was the feature that got cut? Now I'm dying to know lol Very excited about the map feature for the Roborock integration, hopefully we can summon the robots to specific rooms without having to go through the hassle of mapping room IDs to various other numbers!
2023 - Year of the voice was a complete bust. Would like to see Nabu Casa finally finish what they started. A completely (and I do mean completely) refined voice assistant WITH easy to install, off the shelf hardware to accompany it that actually rivals Google/Amazon devices. It's May of 2024 now and I could care less about anything else at this point. I want to get rid of all my Google speakers ASAP! And yes, I have seen all the poor DIY solutions including the latest ESP32 versions. But they are not at all easy to install and don't even come close to the level of refinement of Google/Amazon voice assistants and their hardware. Nabu Casa is missing a massively huge growth opportunity here by allowing this milestone to linger.
@@EverythingSmartHome Understood, however their focus has shifted greatly. Their main push is not to provide a completely refined voice assistant with hardware to match right now. From what I have read and heard, not sure that was ever the case. My frustration level with Nabu Casa is getting high as this aspect of home automation is very important. Not every action can be executed appropriately with an automation. This should have been a focus long ago. Google/Amazon understood this extremely early in their development of home automation products/services. As a program/project manager, its easy to see that Nabu Casa lacks direction and foresight. If they had made better decisions along the way, their growth potential could have been exponentially higher. Right now I think they are still at less than 50 employes which is abysmal for a tech company relative to the length of term they have been in operation. Say what you will, but business acumen is most certainly not their strong suit.
@@URackADisciprine I don't think it's about lack of direction, it's about priorities. Not everyone uses voice / chat assistants for their smart home. For example - I hate using them. I vastly prefer automations / buttons / a UX friendly app over using any form of assistant to manage my home. They're slow, they're unreliable and they require you to constantly talk / type. So for me personally, 2023 was kind of a waste of a year for HA because the things I found important (better way to manage dashboards and better organization for automations) were barely worked on if at all. 2024 so far has brought many changes I have wanted for years and I could not be happier with them focussing more on these types of things this year. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I have some questions that have nothing to do with this video: Is it ok to replace a light switch with a smart switch myself or do I need to hire an electrician to do it for me? What smart switch would you recommend?
Please can someone help or tell me how to request that covers can be reversed. I have blinds that show as 100% when they should be at 0%, etc etc... This is doing my head in, but I can't find a way to change this.
solved! Had to restart the ikea hub, HA detected as new integration (homekit device) and generated new entities, had to find and replace everything everywhere. Working fine now...
Super cool feature that got cut from this release. 😂😂
It's also my favorite! 😂
The editing was seamless, you can barely tell I replaced the audio 👀
I just to happen to read this comment when the voice over happened! was so confused!
@@EverythingSmartHome absolutely nailed it bud. 🤣
I’ve been asking for [super cool feature] for years!
Same!! It's been a long time coming
Thank you for mentioning my tile card lock feature 😊
Media player coming up next!
Thank you for your contributions 🙏🏻
Thank you for helping us all have a better home automation experience.
I love the voice over. Feature has been cut. First one actually made me jump. But, thought was excellent.
😂
Request: can you make an updated "dashboard" video if you've been working on new ones. Love how you walk us through your set-ups.
I’m glad they feel they can push back things that aren’t 100% rather than try to force them though and deal with issues for a month or two.

a podcast where you talk what could be done, and if the person get interested it would have a link to all the videos tutorials in the show notes,
a whole new audience that you could put some ads on the podcast and bring more people to your RUclips channel and would have around half hour to 1 hour and a half so we could use the phone to skip to another chapter or cast as little as possible cause most of us are driving working or doing things that a 13 minutes episode would have us to get the phone out every 13 minutes
if so let me know
Gutted they pulled that super cool feature if it is what im thinking it is
Any info on a whole house electrical monitor that will work with HA in the US? 60hz single phase

Am I the only one who lost light function?. My lights will respond to a slider but can't be toggled on or off and always show as off
Now we need to know what was/is the cut feature 😂😂
It's a security feature called Strict Connections, hoping it makes it in the next release!
I'd love to have a video on your thoughts on the state of the open home presentation Lewis, there was some really interesting stuff in there including roadmaps :)
I suddenly have a Matter integration after updating.
I still find the lock color scheme backwards... I think locked should be red and unlocked should be green.
I suppose you could do it with a theme perhaps? To me, the way it is right now is correct but suppose it's personal preference
I think generally people see green as "secure" and red as "not secure" which is why the lock colors are set that way. I know if I see something red I'm assuming it's a problem or something I need to look at while green means everything is fine.

@@EverythingSmartHome I'll have to check it out after the release party. Thank you!!!
4mins? tells everything 😀
It's nice to get the occasional small release sometimes 😅
This update broke my matter integration and my aqara devices 😢 - had to roll back to 2024.4 to get it back. Hope this gets fixed soon.
My matter integration was fine, I didn't really see any big changes for matter in this release
"Nice."
🫡
and here i am still on 2022.12.7 since all my stuff seem to brick if i upgrade xD
You maniac!! 😳

What about new video of people dashboard? 🤓
People dashboard? 👀
@@EverythingSmartHome home assistant dashboards 🤓
Is there any way at all to have custom group names for automations?
I'm not sure what you mean here sorry?
@@EverythingSmartHome Right now for my automation's I just have a big list... I actually answered my own question while typing back. I didn't know categories was basically the way to organize automations! I was thinking it was more of a type of folder situation.
