Jeremiah LeeMe, foolish child: Surely there is a way to easily turn off all the lights built-in to put on the default dashboard…

Me: I once again conclude that Home Assistant is not actually good.
Yes, yes, dearest Home Assistant super fan, I know, I know. I’m holding it wrong. It’s me, not the product. I should just use surveillance technology if I want a reasonable UX because I am not committed enough to Sparkle Motion.
Home Assistant is good plumbing, but a terrible toilet.
JoyOfDuck@Jeremiah are you just trolling the entire Home Assistant community? If so - Amusing.
Meanwhile I’ll get back to my 3 year bar updates uptime install that runs, my home, music and… Car! All better than the native apps.
I will confess it took some effort to achieve relative Nirvana.

Ro@bj Not trolling, genuinely frustrated by Home Assistant users on Reddit who blame me every time the product befuddles me as a home automation novice.
How do you have 3 years of uptime? Every week there is an update that I have to manually tap to install and many of those require reboots.
@Jeremiah fair point 🙃
I was not including reboots after updates. They tend to be well manged and I happily tap yes for non-point-zero updates. So I skip the first release every month.
I automatically back up for ever OS and Core update, but have never needed to restore
What is your setup? Here’s a bit about mine.
@Jeremiah
I actually run multiple homes for myself and others, so reliability is a really big deal. People come to rely on the little dashboards I build them.
I use dedicated RPi’s with SSD for logs and media. Also, wired network, metal case and a quality power supply.
I use Nabu Casa to provide secure remote access. When people rely on their #HomeAssistant this much, the mobile app and remote access is a big deal.
