  • IKEA 30 years ago was also making better furniture than they are today though. All their entry-level furniture is absolute shit these days, thin veneer on cardboard strength fiber board and screws made of metal softer than warm butter.

    Anything in a quality that will last more than a few years costs almost the same as any other furniture store.

    In only have experience with their ZigBee lightbulps, and they suck ass.





  • 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.
