So happy to see NAS option for backups. The work-arounds never worked for me

[DIYtechie]

Love to see the network storage-integration (although I recently upgraded my standard disk to a bigger SSD because I thought this wouldn’t happen anytime soon 😅). Thanks for giving us a good overview of an exciting new release 🙏🏻😊

[Jawlf]

Thanks for this update on the update!!! I am looking forward to attaching NAS storage, drag and drop will be really useful for when picking the wrong setup. The cleaner look and showing more relevant information is very helpful.

[gnospanker]

Great video as always Lewis! I'd love to see you do a video on how to setup NAS storage and use it with Frigate and/or Plex

[hirozakii]

That's why I'm not mad about paying the cloud access each month. It's worth the money when we see all the features added and changes made keeping Home Assistant constantly evolving in the good way.

Maybe this has nothing to do with your video, but:

I simply just love how you explain things on how to do this and that in Home Assistant! You go over it rather fast, so fast that I many times have to pause the videos many many times so that I can see what I need to do.

And that is a super great thing! Many other youtubers, most of them I've stumbled upon, go so slow that I can hear myself ageing and see my gray hairs come to light. On top of that many of them even take their time on their slow videos even more to ask for likes and subscription. Maybe you do that also, but if you do then your as fast about it like everything else. And if you do that, then I didn't notice.

And this crap from others: "You can download my code so you don't have to read it from the screen, link is below" and then its behind a fu***ng paywall!
That kinds of thing are not here, thank you!

I simply subscribed because how good and fast you describe what you're doing. Thank you for that, and please don't change that!

Sincerely, a Home Assistant armature.

Brilliant!

I'm just in the middle of setting up Frigate so this is a God-send if it works!

[MajorWedgie]

Awesome update and video Lewis!

Next up, ability to group automations. I want it! I need it!

[DecoTheDrummer]

Does the NAS feature mean that I can switch from using OpenMediaVault with HA running as a docker container to fully running HA OS and setup my NAS through HA? If so - awesome!

[KrispKiwi]

The persistent notification breaking change is a big one. Not being able to reference persistent notifications in automations by default.

[junkins]

As always Lewis, thanks for the video!

0:53

I'm listening while doing something else, and this moment makes me realize that "a NAS" and "an ass" sound very much the same.

[DrewY]

OMG the integrations page is much better.

[evlo]

finally the integrations are not hyper crappy

[edwoody]

having a backup location would be awesome. For me, no worky.

[Bazwalt]

At 4:55 you have a typo haha. You mention "2023.5 - Shows" (for unsupported) and "2023.5 - Shows" (for supported) when I believe you mean "2023.6 - Shows". Just lettin you know.

[eldaria]

I saw the NFS entry in the 10.0 Home Assistant OS release notes but could not find a good way to make use of it. Great they got it into the GUI, will try to update it this weekend and see if it can be used with Frigate. My main reason for wanting it.

[jakobh]

That's amazing. Can you do a video about how they're financing everything and who is programming all this nice stuff?

[chrisdixon]

Yes yes yes! storage integration is one I've been waiting for for a while, super nice!

[penguinponics]

DateTime looks exciting. Finally something close to cron functionality. May be the end of Simple Scheduler addon.
