Didn't home assistant hire the guy who made rhasppy so he could work on their voice assistant?

But Rozemyne doesn't know what Letizia did or the circumstances behind it like we do. For all she knows Letizia knew what she was doing right?

You can make user profiles for your family members so they fall under your plex pass. Worked for my house so far.

I think it depends on the user. A few years ago asking about a clock card for the dashboard to the community would get the response of 'why? How will that help you automate'.

Personally I found home assistant because I was trying to make a replacement for my google displays - for use in the kitchen, or alarm clocks for example. There still isn't my ideal hardware to make these displays but I know some people are perfectly happy to repurpose a tablet and stick it on the wall.

I didn't know anything about yaml and still use the UI to make my automations. But the dashboard is an easy way to feel like I've accomplished something especially when I'm just starting out. I might dip my toes into yaml for a card here or to edit my automation there but having to use it for everything up front can be very off-putting to a new user.

So all these dashboard improvements are very exciting, I think, for making home assistant seem more accessible to less technical people who are just starting out on their HA journey. And those of us who just like to make things pretty as well as functional but don't have time to learn how to code it.

TBH I have a love hate relationship with plexamp but yes, it is my main music app. I will try streaming services, try to build out my profile so the algorithms will give me what I like but... nothing beats my own curated library sometimes. Though if they were to integrate Spotify/other music services like they did with Tidal that'd be amazing for when I want to discover more music!

Good luck! If things dont respond super fast /things don't work quite right, it might be your router. Make sure to back things up externally regularly and before you make changes!

Read this chapter and cound not believe I didn't make the connection between women and flowers!

I was kinda meh on adolphine before this but now I am quite an enthusiastic supporter! Especially the separation charm bit. Here's hoping she and Rozemyne can become great friends.
