Updates to sections, data tables & blueprints in HA 2024.7

[@EsotericArctos]

It's not the fanciest update ever, but the quality of life improvements are most welcome and sometimes that can be more important than fancy new features. The ability to change that home zone radius is a good addition. That is something I have hoped would make it to the UI :)

[@SlackerLabs]

A nice Quality of life Release! But you missed my favorite part of this release....Link temnplate entities to existing entities!

[@BeardedTinker]

Yeah, skipped that one... :) But AFAIK it sill can't be attached to device if created in YAML?

Vacation season update - moderate. Resizing cards is great. Just need all the card owners to update, too. Will we have a Grace 2 livestream?

[@mdmk]

@@gerryf7015 Yes 😉

I love seeing UI updates. I wish they would make it possible to target lights by area in the UI, like it's already possible in automations.

[@catcam]

Thanks again for great content BT ..

[@jedivino]

resizing windows great feature

[@BeardedTinker]

It really is - I should start finally implementing sections in my main setup. This will make things much easier and nicer looking!

[@Tntdruid]

Some cool new stuff 👍

[@BeardedTinker]

Yeah, at first id doesn't look that much, but there are some nice things in it!!!

Incredible work as always, curious about the Logitech Harmony deprecation, I can't find it on the website and it is still showing as an integration that is available? Wondering what it will mean overall?

I'm scared about moving generic thermostats to UI config. I have 12 of those and part of room specific heating automation package. I can't understand (never been) why it's forced to remove config from yaml when adding those to UI

Hello, Greetings from Romania! so many changes done to esphome, now I have to remove 4 devices from where I have mounted them to reflash them, because I can't update them, not so fun but hey, it must be done. Thank you for the video. have a nice day!

[@BeardedTinker]

I know. Though I did manage to flash all my devices via WiFi so far - some just required a bit more time. But devs talked how it's gard to sometimes do new features without also requiring a bit more work on end-user side.

I am still annoyed by the inability to recolour calendars. Every time you add a new calendar, all of them get recoloured randomly.

[@CMDRSloma]

@@BeardedTinker Yes, I did but it doesn't look there are too many people that voted for it. I guess not enough exposure.

What are Harmony switch entities? Can I get those back? I still use Harmony Until my Remote 3 comes next year.
