There are ways of making money without damaging society.

Well I’m glad that you were able to get it to work again then and that it is fixed now

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 and 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)

Interesting, whenever I would make it it would always come out kind of thicker and brownish, especially as it stood around (oxidation I guess). Probably varies by the kind of apple, but the more ‘natural’ kinds I have found at the store also tend to be pretty brown, certainly not clear.

Pure apple juice is not clear, it has to be specifically processed to be that way

So you’re the reason we had separate sections for genders and known partners weren’t allowed to sit together

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

I’m sure, and it’s great for the usability of the products, I’m just always wary about updates changing settings in the background and not necessarily informing the user. Google is pulling this same thing with their ‘ad personalization’ tracking nonsense. Most users won’t know how to or won’t bother to opt out of something that was automatically turned on in the background, even if they would prefer it to be off if they had been asked.

Some people especially with older devices might not like the constant telemetry in the background…

Absolutely, this is a personal thing. I’ve found myself not buying things that are incompatible with the machine as much as possible so I don’t really have that issue

I live alone and cook one time per day. Dishes takes me like 2 minutes since I just shove everything in the machine and come back two hours later not just to everything being clean, but also heat sanitized. The only things you can’t put in there are knives, as well as nonstick and wooden items. I would personally hate cooking if I had to scrub every item by hand afterwards…

The difference is that shoes that are fully enclosed need to fit you pretty well to be comfortable, while for something open like a sandal that’s not nearly as important

Rule of cool? Bucket of water at least kind of makes sense, while wet socks is just lame

I just walk and stare down anyone that tries to drive illegally

I’m glad there are positive changes, and obviously those are most effective in healthcare situations.

However, from my personal experience as a university student in Canada, everything is the same if not worse than before. Hand sanitizer stations have been removed or simply not refilled, people straight up refuse to wear masks even when they’re sick. A week or two ago in class, I saw many people literally sneeze into their hands and then wipe the snot on their chairs (and these are supposed to be engineering students!). There is still no ventilation or even filtration in any of our classrooms.

Not only is personal protective equipment not used by almost anyone, its use is actively stigmatized by many, including professors at school. To me this is completely ridiculous, but unfortunately reality.

It truly feels like most people learned absolutely nothing in the past several years

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.
