An attractive new login web page
The login web page of Residence Assistant has been redesigned to be extra trendy and
match the current redesign of the Residence Assistant onboarding.
When Residence Assistant detects you’re accessing it through your native residence community,
it means you’re in your trusted residence setting; you’ll be greeted by this
lovely new login web page, which resembles how most platforms, like Home windows,
macOS, Netflix, and others, deal with this: by displaying your person profiles.
It is usually a lot smarter! It really works seamlessly with trusted networks,
and when residence, we mechanically bear in mind your login. So, no extra forgetting
to examine the “hold me logged in” checkbox. 👊
After all, when logging in from outdoors your own home community, we are able to’t do that
as that may give away privacy-sensitive details about your system
and who’s in it. So, if you end up outdoors of your own home community,
the login web page will ask to your username and password, identical to earlier than.
Oh! And now you can change the language straight from the login web page! 🌍
New design for the thermostat card
Residence Assistant 2023.9 launched
a beautiful new entity dialog for thermostat entities. Because of that, many
have been asking for the same design for the thermostat card. Properly, right here it’s!
There’s nothing it’s important to do to make use of this new card. When you improve to this
launch, the thermostat card will mechanically use this attractive new design.
We took it one step additional and added assist for options. Options are
extra performance you could add to a card, beforehand solely accessible
for the tile card. This launch provides assist for options to the
thermostat card as properly!
For the thermostat card, it means that you can add HVAC mode buttons and presets.
By default, these options are hidden, giving it the cleanest look attainable.
Oh! The identical design has been utilized to the (de)humidifer card, in fact,
together with its respective tile options 😎.
Numeric enter characteristic for tile playing cards
The tile card could be very highly effective, and @JosephAbbey
is even extending it this launch by including a brand new “numeric enter” characteristic.
The numeric enter characteristic works with all quantity entities and quantity helpers.
It means that you can management the quantity entity from the tile card straight
and supplies the selection to make use of it as a slider or as an enter with up/down
buttons.
Choices for the default dashboard
The default dashboard now has choices that may let you change its conduct.
Now you can configure the default dashboard to cover sure areas,
conceal entities that don’t belong to an space, and the choice to cover the
vitality abstract card.
When choosing Areas, you’ll be able to select to cover the areas but in addition change
the show order of the areas by dragging them round.
A primary step in making the dashboards configurable, however above all,
it provides you extra management over the default dashboard, particularly when you’ve gotten
simply began with utilizing Residence Assistant.
When including a brand new dashboard, we added a dialog much like those we present
if you create new automations or scripts. It provides you the choice to begin
with an empty handbook dashboard or create a brand new default dashboard.
Historical past dashboard displaying long-term statistics
The historical past dashboard did get some love from @karwosts this launch; he
added an enormous enchancment to all the graphs proven there.
Beforehand, the graphs would solely present the state historical past, restricted to a couple days,
till the information is eliminated. This isn’t at all times very helpful, for instance,
if you need to look again additional in time.
@karwosts got here up with an answer for this, and the historical past dashboard now
combines the state historical past with the recorded long-term statistics to supply
insights into the previous.
The best and darker a part of the graph line is supplied by the state historical past
(like earlier than), and the long-term statistics present the left and lighter half
of the graph line (and is thus downsampled hourly knowledge).
If in case you have manually modified the days to maintain earlier than purging
recorder in your system, think about eradicating that customization. With the
long-term statistics and new characteristic, you probably don’t want it anymore,
leading to a smaller database and, thus, sooner and smaller backups.
Extra to-do!
The primary iteration for assist for to-do lists was added within the final launch,
and there was continued work on this characteristic on this launch.
Initially, there are two new providers accessible. A much-requested service
to listing all gadgets on a to-do listing
and a useful service to take away all accomplished gadgets from a to-do listing.
It’s good to see integrations including assist for the to-do listing characteristic.
For instance, the CalDAV integration now helps including to-do gadgets to your
CalDAV server, and with Picnic and OurGroceries now you can handle your
purchasing listing. Within the case of Picnic, it’s going to even lookup the product you add
of their retailer to your purchasing listing and add the product to your purchasing cart.
Additionally, when viewing a to-do listing from the Residence Assistant interface,
you’ll be able to copy/paste or bookmark the URL, which can at all times deliver you again
to the identical one—a small however very useful enchancment.
Re-import blueprints
This launch provides the flexibility to re-import the blueprint from the supply from
which you initially imported it. The newly downloaded blueprint will overwrite
the present blueprint, offering a easy “replace” characteristic for blueprints.
If you happen to use Blueprints, for instance, those
created by our unimaginable neighborhood,
you may need observed that if you import a blueprint, it is not going to replace
when the writer updates it. The one possibility you had was to manually regulate the
YAML of the blueprint to make it match the most recent model printed
by the writer. To make this final bit simpler, we added this re-import capability.
A useful characteristic that may make it simpler to maintain your blueprints in
sync with the most recent model printed by the blueprint writer.
