I'd really like to be able to sort my automations into folders

[JackupTraining]

Making it more user-friendly is a way to go. Before every update developers should ask themselves "did we simplify it in any way". That would expand the community and number of users

[samiraslan]

I hope this year they manage to make customizable drag and drop dashboards

[olninyo]

I do everything in the UI like a caveman so very happy for automation UI upgrades

[espressomatic]

FINALLY they fixed the thermostat card. Nice seeing actual/current temp front and center in LARGE TYPE instead of the Nest-inspired design showing target/set temp.

3:45 "not too big of a dil do.. sure will get used to it soon" 😂😂😂 Good one Lewis 😂

I really want them to work on making dashboard layouts easier to manage. It should not be as complex as it is to get cards and tiles where you want them or to resize them.

[TechySpeaking]

I can appreciate the easier Actions access and search, but between the renaming of the sections, adding descriptions, and splitting it into multiple buttons, it's too much clutter

[jazekerxx]

i really like these short conclusion videos of the new update, the official videos just take way too long. so thanks and keep up the good work!

[bonkerjohn]

Mate you've helped me so much over my Home Assistant Nightmares lol. Thank you so much for sharing!

[MP-krvc]

Watching you from the beginning of my way with HA ( moved from catastrophic domoticz ). Keep up the good work, your reviews are the best ! 😊

[Theycallmeernie]

Oh man! I can see how the automations UI may be better for new folks but I also believe it deviates too far from the previous and over complicates the process of creating complex automations. A suggestion would be to have the new automation builder aimed towards new users be viewable only when the advanced user option is not selected.

[kakaoen]

I simply cannot understand any use for the todo list i find it very not smarthome like to be honest taking in consideration on how manual it actually is. Grouping automations or being able to actually design dashboards more easily would be a welcomed edition because it is tough as it is. Duplicating helpers or copying a helper would also be quite nice honestly.

Nice mkbhd shirt!

Ps
I read every comment to know ir someone else had already commented about your mkbhd shirt lol haha

[zyghom]

HA automations are getting closer to Node Red day by day. Few more years and they will be really compeeting ;-)

[adfjasjhf]

I'[m surprised you did not mention the Holiday integration. That's such a cool addition ! :)

[DirkSchut]

If some kind of repeatable option was added to the task system, I could imagine moving household chores from todoist to home assistant. We live in an exciting time :)

[CheesyCrotch]

Best way to absorb patch notes, ty 👍👍👍👍

[tonyhobbs]

any news on the everything lite sensor?

[TechySpeaking]

That new Holiday integration should be nice, no more having to make custom YAML sensors that check the date.
