Also of note is that the Tado integration broke last month, and is fixed in this update. I’m surprised it didn’t get a mention.
I can finally turn my heating down! I feel like a bag of domesticated coconut.
I feel like every release except one for the past year has been about dashboards. Is this something a lot of users care about?
It’s something I often hear complaints about. Several of the Home Assistant users I know love the way it integrates all their smart devices together, but say they find making good dashboards difficult.
Improvements like proper drag and drop and better auto categorisation and population will go a long way to help them. The old default dashboard that just lumped everything in one screen isn’t a great way to get started.

Same here. And all these dashboard developments have made more fancy features, but have not made the whole thing any easier so far.
I could not care less, for me its about automating tasks, not pushing buttons.
There are various ways to use it, yeah.
Yup. For me, I just expose a few things to HomeKit. So HomeKit is my dashboard. And I use my Green to host a few additional services.
They should improve the dashboard until I’m jealous of it.
Yeah, same thing.
Are there many aspects of automating tasks that you think need to be focused on?
Blinds, lights, and getting and saving weather data and room conditions (temp/hum), having the power of my server rack monitored…
The first two are my main concerns.
It’s obnoxiously difficult to change the color on a gauge, say for battery charging vs discharging, or just generally to show direction of the gauge. You’d have to create a new, custom card.
Also so many of the cards in HACS are broken. It’s not the best experience.
Ah is that what had broken my horseshoe graph? The custom graphs come up a unrecognised types whatever form I try.
Yes to horseshoe, but for others you may just need to refresh or clear your browser cache.
It’s funny, the areas dashboard is pretty much what I build for myself. It’s a great new addition.
Everybody ITT talking about dashboards when the real killer feature is global variables within automations.
