thehatfoxHome Assistant 2024.4: Organize all the things!
JeenaI like home assistant but I feel I’m always so behind with my own instances everything feels very outdated how I have it. But I just have no time to modernize it.
eco_gameI can relate, with every update I’m like “Wow this is going to optimize my setup so much” and then I just don’t change anything lol
I always keep Home Assistant as up to date as possible. Home Assistant keeps improving a lot. Month to month each update goes fairly seamlessly if HA is kept up to date, but the further it falls behind the harder it is to catch back up. Recent optimisation improvements have also made the update process faster.
If you can make the time it’s worth the effort. Even if you have to “start over” somewhat there is probably a lot you have learned since that you can use to improve your setup.
Yeah that’s what I’m doing too. On top of that I have 3 instances, my own at home, the one at my parents house and then another one at their summer house.
Why don’t you just stay in a version that does everything you need? That’s sort of the point of a point release system.
I don’t want to do that because once there are new features you want, upgrading in a big bang is basically impossible because there are too many breaking changes. So it’s better at least to fix small things all the time. Also on top of that security updates are very important too.

Guess that’s more a question of perspective. Professional installations tend to be more “install and forget” as each and every update is potentially disruptive.
Only when the user asks for a change, modifications are performed.
