  • I use the KNX integration, which must be configured using yaml

    This is probably because of the devs behind the integration though and not the fault of HA.

    I have my all my cards and dashboards defined through GUI as well, you van make plenty sophisticated interfaces without YAML. A lot of tutorials are probably not up to date with what you can do though and use YAML.



  • None of my custom integrations are configured with YAML anymore, they’ve all moved to the GUI. Even a couple of my templates have been made directly in the GUI.

    “Not a single line of YAML” is a bit hyperbole, but the only YAML I’ve got left in my setup are a handful of custom sensors, I haven’t checked if that can now be done from the GUI. It’s around 100 lines of YAML in total or something like that. But all the home automation stuff is done purely with GUI.

    There has been huge improvements on what can be done from the GUI in the last few years since I started with HA.














  • What kind of shit-buckets are you people driving that requires you to turn on defrost just because it starts raining!?

    I regularly drive in conditions that go from sunny to rainy, or even sunny to snow/slush…that’s pretty much all our weather is where I live. I never have to start defrost mode while driving, ever. I use defrost to defrost and remove ice from the the car before I start driving, the AC keeps everything fine without me adjusting anything no matter the change of conditions while I’m driving.
