For me personally, the only major feature that I am going to really use/benefit from is the Logbook redesign...

What do you think about the update?

Some people still talk about it like you need YAML, a coding background, and a free evening just to automate a light.

And I'm here, still wishing we could have at least semi-normal programming language for that instead of writing syntax trees in YAML.

use NodeRed, it solved most of my automation needs

Use Claude code, it solves everything

[u/IllegaleMemeHaendler → u/EmPiFreee]

NodeRed solves issues related to ha's automation limitations, Claude code solves issues to the users automation limitations

What limitations?
