The new update to the conditional Dashboard cards is huge !!!! FINALLY ! This will save me so much time since I don't have to create template entities just to translate Numerical values to boolean values. This made my day, thx for sharing ! :)

My wife and I also use Todoist to track our various lists.
The only thing keeping us from switching would be that in Todoist, you can have sub-lists under lists.

As an example, in our grocery list we have items for vegetables, fruit, meats, dairy, frozen, etc...
Then under each of those items, we have a list of items.
I would love to see this new "To-do lists" component get that feature.

that condition card saved my ass,
i can now adapt my interface depending on the screen i'm using, i'm soooo happy about it !!
having my interface being horizontal on pc and automatically switch to vertical on my phone, a dream finally come true.

Thank you.
Now I get the notification for my shopping list only I have something on the list.

Thank you for the short but very transparent summary of the new update as always.🙂👍

The script fields are super nice. I currently have a scene that picks a random color for each light. A bit like hue dynamic scene (but static) which uses mqtt and automations but this is going to be a nice replacement :)

Hi Lewis,
Have there been any issues reported with the Calendar after updating to 2023.11? I had updated, but the Calendar disappeared from the list on the left. I restored a backup and it came back.
I wonder if it was due to the Core not being updated at the time, but it is now updated.
I don't want to update again until I'm sure.

Thank you very much for your high-quality videos. I have a question; my mother has fallen several times in the house, and I'm thinking of installing Home Assistant with a video camera. However, do you know if there is a plugin available to monitor her vital signs (such as heart rate and blood pressure) and, MOST importantly, a fall detector so that I can quickly intervene? Thank you.

My wife and I use Bring for our shopping list (it's nice and visual), and it used to have good Google Assistant support (before Google deprecated Actions). We still use it because of its UI and it has a watch app, but could be convinced to move if there were enough benefits.

I'd love it if Google Shopping List would integrate into HA now, but I guess it's a lost cause.

Hello, great update! I was wondering what style were the cards at 8:29. Are they UI Lovelace Minimalist? Thank you!

Really like the conditional card stuff. I was looking at a way to display cards/ entities based on who is looking at the dashboard.
I feel like home assistant is really limited in ontroling what non admin users can see and do.

The fields for scripts are also something to look out for.

@00:35 Disappointed there wasn't an entry for "Dairy Liquid" ;) :D

I love the todo lists, but the Tile additional info, I can replace some mushroom tiles with that then ^^ And fields is amazing. I think there was already a way to pass data to scripts, but it wasn't very discoverable or easy.

[ItamarValdman]

Great video as always!
I wish they would add to the to-do list an option to make a single entry part of several lists
It something that I couldn’t find in any to-do app…

Hi, I have a strange question to ask you, I hope I can explain myself: I have an alarm system at home but it is not smart inside but there is a telephone dialer with a SIM for alarm messages or anomalies as well as for querying the system remotely on the status and interact by turning it on/off and decide which zones to activate. Will it be possible to integrate all this on HA? Thank you
ps: forgive the grammar but I don't know English well and I used an online translator

I have to combine with this to make esphome... switch will control on and off through home assistant it will perfectly when home assistant device will off and esphome will be work manual switch on, off to turn on relay without contacting home assistant it works fine....but I have a issue with that " when the switch state is on in esp 32 when the power cut off happens and then power on device...in this case already switch will be on state....but relay output cannot auto on on after restart esp 32 device "
