  • Summary:

    HACS 2.0: A Major Update to the Home Assistant Community Store

    • HACS 2.0, the latest version of the Home Assistant Community Store, brings significant improvements, including an easier installation method, faster updates, a revamped user interface, and improved notifications for Home Assistant updates and repairs.

    • HACS serves as a platform for users to discover, install, and update community-created integrations and user interface elements, enhancing the functionality and customization of Home Assistant.

    • The new version introduces a user interface that closely resembles the native look and functionality of Home Assistant, providing a consistent and intuitive experience.

    • To enhance performance, HACS now utilizes a remote dataset stored in Cloudflare R2 buckets, reducing the number of API calls to GitHub and resulting in significantly faster updates.

    • System and add-on updates are now displayed in the same format as native Home Assistant updates, eliminating the need to visit the HACS page for updates.

    • HACS 2.0 introduces Template management, leveraging the new template type to improve Jinja templates.

    • While HACS offers a wide range of community-made integrations, cards, themes, and more, it is important to note that these are not officially supported by Home Assistant and may affect system stability.

    No way. Coverage on my carrier is solid everywhere I’ve been - even in the middle of a national park a couple of hours outside the city recently.

    I like to get away, but I’m not the type to want to go to extremely remote places, hours from the nearest town in the middle of the desert or anything like that. So this is useless to me.

    I’ll accept it if it’s free, otherwise you can keep it.






  • This is so true.

    For 10 years (2011 to 2021) I carried both an Android phone (personal) and an iPhone (work provided). Both phones were updated about every 2 years.

    Over those years I’ve watched IOS get closer and closer to Android. The funny thing is Android has also been creeping towards IOS in some areas, though that is to a lesser extent than the other way around.

    In recent years they’ve gotten pretty close to each other in basic functionality.

    I still prefer Android, but IOS is much less annoying to use than it was a decade ago.
