Really nice updates, but one I really want is the ability to group automations as my list is getting unwieldy

[PtolemyInventedThePSVita]

Love the new service calls to "todo" lists. I created a node red flow that takes each item in my shopping list, sends it to chatGPT to sort by grocery department, and then writes the response back to the list. It also creates a redundant backup of the original list in case GPT decides to do something funny with it.

Just trying todo again. You say about getting notified when arriving to the shop, and I’m assuming getting notified at a time. Basically what I’m wanting to do is because you now can set date and times in the todo item, how do you get notified at the set time? Im currently using calendar to achieve all this, so I have a message which discovers the name of the calendar item so it doesn’t matter if i change the time, it just notifies me at whatever time i have set on the message or calendar event. How would i achieve this using todo instead of calendar?

I dig the new historical values feature!! Wish for more elaborate math helpers, and an easy way to combine multiple binary entities into one, like Binary Window is Open, Binary Window is Closed and Binary Window is Tilted.

This is a great end of the yesr with these updates! Thank you for these videos and thank you home assistant for making my life more easy and smart!

[YossiSilberhaft]

Love your updates. I am using the new Thermostat card, but it is MASSIVE, is there a way to make it smaller?

[jayjake]

sometimes i almost forget how default dashboard looks like since using mushroom-strategy addon, very nice thing

[DustyMatty-yscf]

We really need The Year of the Dashboard/Lovelace :)

[bradyperez]

I'm having problems with Google Assistant integration with HA after this update because of the new log in?

[DamagedDingo]

Is there an auto update or an update all button?

[geoffreycoan]

The changes to the default dashboard and the history graph are welcome but the big thing I’m oh so wanting is a proper user interface for manipulating entity history. Especially energy sensors where I’ve got several issues that I could correct with a spreadsheet-like UI plus a load of history I’d love to import from a corrupted HA db. The current UI really prevents fixing this and I fear to dive into an undocumented database and risk SQL corruptions

[junkins]

Very cool updates with the to-do lists. Thanks for the update video Lewis! 😀

[rcoderdev]

I had to revert to 2023.11.3 since the tile cards wont respond to any tap action (icon tap works fine). Maybe I haven't read in-depth the release notes so I may have missed something.

[kicksejaapie]

I like your accent, bro! Erea, Erea! 😂❤ Btw, i'm so glad i have chosen Home Assistant over Homey back in 2021, when i first started with a smart home. Home Assistant is a beast of software!

[Mr_ToR]

I can not see long term statistics for shades

[vermeulengert]

Happy holidays Lewis! Thank you for all the videos you posted this year

[SenneTijdeman]

I'm not a fan of the new Home Assistant login screen. In my setup, where Home Assistant is behind a reverse proxy, all network traffic is recognized as 'internal.' This causes the new login screen to always display all user accounts, which I find to be a security concern. It would be great if there was an option to disable this feature for setups like mine.

[NightHawkATL]

I am looking forward to the Ping option to setup in the UI and the new thermostat view. I am sure I will look into some of the other changes and updates but always nice to see the constant improvements. I always wait for your videos before diving in myself but I always wait for the .1 to drop before updating lol.

[FloWmo]

Nice.

Wish you luck on riding that unicorn mate!

[DenisNolan]

Cheers for the update video. This year certainly flew by quick
