[1340.14 --> 1340.82] I know I'm done.
[1341.18 --> 1343.22] But, you know, that's not going to work for most people.
[1343.32 --> 1344.80] They want to make it all a GUI option.
[1344.90 --> 1345.70] So, okay, I'll try it.
[1346.38 --> 1352.10] So I go to bed and I wake up the next morning and I go to the storage area.
[1352.18 --> 1352.98] In the settings.
[1353.34 --> 1354.46] Everything's working, by the way.
[1354.74 --> 1358.50] I go to the storage area in the settings and now it just says like 900 gigs free.
[1359.50 --> 1364.76] I think it moved everything off of the EMMC and it moved everything to the MVME.
[1366.14 --> 1370.64] I'm not sure exactly what happened because it's kind of, it's all kind of abstracted for me.
[1370.64 --> 1376.48] But the performance is so much better.
[1376.70 --> 1381.14] And I have to say, I am very happy with the results.
[1381.34 --> 1383.20] I could not ask for anything better.
[1383.38 --> 1385.48] And I also decided to just start fresh.
[1385.76 --> 1386.32] I went clean.
[1386.44 --> 1387.76] I did not restore my backups.
[1388.32 --> 1390.46] I didn't try to import my old settings.
[1390.46 --> 1396.16] I just said, I'm going to burn three or four days straight and I'm just going to reset it up.
[1396.48 --> 1400.16] And I literally probably spent three days resetting it up.
[1400.74 --> 1404.56] There is a good argument to, you know, nuke and paving systems every now and again.
[1404.68 --> 1412.50] Like I remember back in the day, I used to nuke and pave windows every six weeks sometimes, you know, because it was just that crusty.
[1413.12 --> 1413.78] You still have to.
[1414.04 --> 1414.70] Hasn't changed.
[1414.70 --> 1420.84] And then, you know, when I get a new phone these days, still out of force of habit, I'll start from scratch with a new phone.
[1421.60 --> 1427.64] But I don't know, like my MacBook here has got the same install on it as when it came with it.
[1427.70 --> 1430.26] Like I don't feel the need to do that anymore.
[1430.50 --> 1437.00] But Home Assistant, there's so much stuff in there that I've painstakingly created.
[1437.38 --> 1438.64] I don't think I could do it.
[1438.86 --> 1439.64] I don't think I could do it.
[1440.00 --> 1442.56] I had a couple of moments, I think, that saved me.
[1442.56 --> 1449.98] One was I downloaded my old backup from the Raspberry Pi that died and I extracted it manually.
[1450.46 --> 1461.70] And I opened up my configuration YAML and I kind of grabbed a few key things that I knew I wanted, like my generic thermostat stuff, all of my integrations for my cameras.
[1462.26 --> 1463.82] I just grabbed that stuff.
[1464.06 --> 1469.42] So I didn't take the whole config file, but I just took the bits that I didn't want to have to recreate from whole cloth.
[1469.42 --> 1474.18] That was one thing that I think helped a lot is I still used my old config file quite a bit.
[1474.98 --> 1476.30] But the other thing was.
[1477.34 --> 1480.58] The Z-Wave migration turned out to be a lot easier than I expected.
[1481.22 --> 1484.72] The Z-Wave controller had everything on the network paired to it.
[1485.48 --> 1487.08] And so when I took that USB dongle.
[1487.08 --> 1491.18] And I plugged it into the new Home Assistant yellow.
[1492.96 --> 1495.88] All of the nodes were still paired to that controller.
[1496.88 --> 1500.26] They all showed up as brand new devices to Home Assistant.
[1501.06 --> 1503.14] But all of the networking was already done.
[1503.24 --> 1506.88] All the node order, all of that was already done.
[1506.88 --> 1514.78] And so Home Assistant, just using the new integration, just said, oh, look at all these Z-Wave devices you have.
[1515.76 --> 1516.92] This is incredible.
[1518.00 --> 1522.40] And so the only part that was a pain in the butt was I did have to sit there.
[1522.40 --> 1529.04] And this was one of like the seriously labor intensive tasks and rename every entity, every device entry.
[1529.38 --> 1532.40] Just sit there and rename them because it just generates these stupid ass names.
[1532.80 --> 1533.86] You know what would be really great?
[1533.86 --> 1542.60] Like, imagine if Home Assistant had this like paper clip in the corner that popped up and said, hey, I noticed you've got some new devices.
[1542.88 --> 1543.90] Do you want to set those up?
[1544.62 --> 1545.70] I mean, super helpful.
[1545.92 --> 1547.60] I don't think anyone's done that before.
[1547.60 --> 1551.44] Just something that said, hey, would you like to just say what you want to call it now?
[1551.96 --> 1554.90] So that way you don't spend the next two days renaming all these things.
[1554.90 --> 1561.80] Because, of course, like my sensors, every single one of my sensors has like eight different entities that it puts in there.
[1561.80 --> 1562.00] Right.
[1562.00 --> 1566.52] All of my power switches have like three or four different entities that they put into there.
[1566.60 --> 1569.38] So it's just so, so many items.
[1569.58 --> 1570.08] That's a good point.
[1570.16 --> 1574.12] The onboarding workflow of a new device, I think, could actually use some work in that respect.
[1574.62 --> 1576.90] Some kind of a wizard or something.
[1577.32 --> 1578.00] I should say.
[1578.42 --> 1579.38] So that's my criticism.
[1579.58 --> 1580.50] But I should say.
[1581.44 --> 1581.92] Wow.
[1582.14 --> 1585.64] It has gotten so much easier to set up Home Assistant.
[1585.64 --> 1589.86] There's so many more UI options for stuff now.
[1590.86 --> 1591.82] Like scripts.
[1591.90 --> 1593.78] When you're writing a script, you know, the script thing.
[1593.92 --> 1595.52] You can just reorder items now.
[1595.90 --> 1596.50] Oh, God.
[1596.76 --> 1600.48] I used to have to rewrite the script or I'll do it in YAML in the past.
[1600.80 --> 1602.24] Now you can just reorder items.
[1602.24 --> 1609.18] It's incredible the stuff that just the friction that they over time have smoothed out.
[1609.18 --> 1616.24] It reminded me of like if you've been playing an MMO since it launched, like say Star Trek Online, and you've been playing it for like 10 years.
[1616.24 --> 1620.34] And so like you're just at the end game and you've been at the end game for years.
[1620.50 --> 1627.74] And then you decide to go create an alt account and you start over from the beginning and you realize they've completely redone the beginning of the game.
[1627.82 --> 1629.22] A totally new tutorial.
[1629.48 --> 1631.24] A totally new introduction to the game.
[1631.34 --> 1632.68] A whole new story arc.
[1632.76 --> 1636.90] And you're like, wow, this is so much better than when I tried this years ago.
[1637.26 --> 1639.00] That's where Home Assistant is at now.
[1639.08 --> 1641.40] It is so much easier to set up.
[1641.80 --> 1641.90] Interesting.
[1641.90 --> 1646.68] Well, maybe I should do and you can pave just in the interests of science and the show and stuff like that.
[1646.86 --> 1648.70] I feel like it was a lot simpler.
[1649.14 --> 1650.64] I mean, yeah, I had to go through the whole rename thing.
[1651.18 --> 1653.04] Here's the other thing that's been a lot easier this time around.
[1653.88 --> 1657.22] As of right now, I don't have a single automation.
[1657.50 --> 1658.42] You look smug about that.
[1658.50 --> 1659.64] Why do you look smug about that?
[1659.70 --> 1660.32] Oh, I don't know.
[1660.34 --> 1662.72] My last box, I probably had like 15 automations.
[1663.02 --> 1664.92] And now I don't have a single automation.
[1665.20 --> 1667.48] And I mean, if you think about it, I'm sure I will.
[1667.58 --> 1668.22] I have one eventually.
[1668.76 --> 1670.10] It's so much simpler.
[1670.10 --> 1684.70] So I have used the scheduler card custom component that lets me schedule things in a UI that is so much more intuitive than using an automation that controls the lights and the outdoor stuff so much simpler.
