Well done! This was a great review! Aesthetically, Home Assistant keeps getting better and better! Loving the colorful icons

The Tesla Wall Connector integration was a nice surprise when it showed up in my notifications.

Hi, nice and helpful video, but how do you get the supervisor tab in the left. In my profile the advanced option is enabled.

[hghrise]

Shelly firmware update button will come in handy - Was waiting for it. Can't wait to get 2021.12 running on my prod instance on saturday :D - Thanks for the heads up :) Great Video!

[EsotericArctos]

Thanks for the great overview. There are a lot of changes to make the UI nicer and some nice updates to sensors.
I do think the UI improvements will be most beneficial to me in this release.

Because of all the updates I always miss something which then breaks. Can you either do a short video or explain how to setup an independent second version of HA as a test site so that it does not trigger anything but dummy devices. Like I have a small led strip to test, I have test motion dector, etc. Thanks so much and Happy Holidays.

I just got update today and my Nabu Casa not longer working. Under Configuration tab, I did not see "Home Assistant Cloud" selection. I works on my older version. What happen to new HA?

[BeardedTinker]

If you are using Frigate, ShellyforHASS or WebRTC (thanks Alexey) you'll need to update both:

[michaelkazmierczak]

Looks great. Supervisor well done. Plus Button for Add-ons ...

[holgerwinkelmann]

something on the horizon in regards of New Tuya Local API

[andrewwilliams]

It just gets better, being a user from the early days of HA you don't know what ease of use you have now, great work and may it continue BT and HA.

[SlackerLabs]

Fantastic! But you have me scared. I need to get a beta system up and test my Acurite Add-on. Lol

[sygys]

By the way state change with no state mentioned always worked. you could just do this by not adding the "to:" part

[LeoCaseiro]

Jellyfin media player. This is awesome!

[sygys]

What is great about this all? i only see more clicking and stuff hided behind more buttons... this is everything but great if you ask me. It has become a big mess. And if they put everything in configuration menu, why is dev tools not in there?

[TerraMagnus]

The myChevrolet integration is a shame. I know the developers are working hard, and I appreciate that GM is trying to make our smart cars more secure. But I wish there was a way they could still provide a stable API to developers. I'd love to integrate my Chevy cars with Home Assistant the way Tesla is integrated (via HACS).
