Haven’t been on there since the event, though I do read some threads if they come up in a search. Not intending on returning, though I haven’t gotten rid of my old account yet

But how else could companies make more money off of something you already paid for? Will someone think of the shareholders‽

Going from your suggestions I was able to find a workaround to change the device’s state with just one click, so thank you for that.

For the second problem, it seems that while HA sends a command instantly, it only actually changes states on the dashboard once the device sensors update, which seems to be hard coded to happen about every 30 seconds. I am using an integration from HACS (Custom VeSync) though, so I feel like the problem is more likely to do with my own setup. Then again HA would previously just send the requested command no matter what the state was before…

Either way I’m not really familiar with Github beyond reading release notes and readmes.

Edit: Reading further into the integration I’m using, I realized that it relies on cloud polling. I wonder if there’s a way to make Home Assistant assume that a command went through, change states immediately, and then confirm the change with the next polling cycle, rather than just waiting. Unfortunately I don’t know how to implement something like this.

I do have one problem with the new humidifier cards. Some buttons got shuffled around and now turning a device off and on went from being a single click to three separate operations. Additionally, it is less reliable now, as it won’t send a turn on/off command instantly, rather only when the state of the device changes in HA. I don’t toggle them frequently, but when I do I want it to be fast. I’m sure there’s some workaround for it, but it just worked previously and now it just doesn’t.

What went wrong for you? I didn’t have any problems with the last one or this one so far (I use Z2M)

The reported numbers will be very inaccurate due to people not bothering to test any more. There will always be a surge during holidays, especially during the cold season.

Not sure if you’re serious, but as someone who graduated a US high school just a few years ago, yes young people actually do care about stupid things like this. Real otherwise completely normal seeming people discriminate based on bubble color.

The only devices I have that are on Wi-Fi are ones I got before learning about HA. Zigbee FTW 👍

Yeah that’s fair enough. Are there any free as in freedom solutions that allow you to sync progress through videos on multiple devices? If I’m watching some long video over multiple days it’s really convenient to easily switch it between all my devices, and have it automatically continue where I left off

Revanced is still a thing

I had it pop up a couple times in Firefox, but it went away when I enabled the Annoyances filter in ublock settings. The videos just work now, no problem

Those can be had for pretty cheap these days, or you can order custom printed parts from some online services. Plus, some libraries have them now, free or cheap to use.

I have been using this for actual years at this point (S21 Ultra)

Fun story: we just had the first week of uni here and over the summer all the school computers had been updated to Windows 11. During the first class then naturally all the professors were logging in to the computers for the first time. Upon opening the course syllabus, every single time, a big popup would appear on the screen about how Edge is so great and asking for analytics data permission. About half of the professors just agreed to everything fast to get it out of the way but the other half did reject it. In one case a professor was reading over the whole thing for at least 30 seconds

No, but I won’t stop myself after already getting two plates just because I’m scared the employees won’t like it, nor will I go right after I just had a meal

Unlimited means unlimited, they shouldn’t advertise that if they can’t provide it

Thankfully those are only getting more popular unlike things like Windows phone back in the day. Hopefully it will continue improving over time

They really did it again huh
