Sorry, reread your post. I am indeed wrong. My entity control is done with script like turning porch light on, so that is why I have it in my widget. It is a script. Sorry about that.

Did you see the widget is back in HA on iOS18?

He is probably talking about light switches like a porch light or garage light that you want quick access to when you get home and for some reason your automation never switched it on, so you want to quickly access it on a homescreen via a widget, and not have to go into the app and search through multiple dashboards etc. His use case and therefor his question is totally valid.

Never used it, but checked iOS widget now, and you are correct. It only gives options to three things: Ask AI, Actions, and open page. Nothing else on my iOS.

I use this too. When SNMP is set up there are loads of things you can monitor with LibreNMS. Much less of a learning curve than Grafana + Prometheus, although the latter probably has some nice tweaks available that SNMP does not provide.

Not a dad joke per say but:

A sperm cell has a one-in-a-billion chance of becoming human one day.

She uses Arch btw

Yeah I am open to anyone who can prove this wrong/correct. I saw it and thought it needs sharing. I am more than willing to ask forgiveness afterwards :-) Luckily I too only use Thunderbird.

Now you go tell him that :-)

I have a self-hosted Nextcloud and my Nextcloud account connected via GNOME as an Online Account. It integrates seamlessly with Calendar, gives me a webdav mount for my files etc. I don’t have any issues. I have not added any Google accounts, and definitely no Microsoft accounts. I don’t use public clouds for private stuff.
