  • Yes! I did! None that requires my attention. And there’s no mention device/entity area assignment. I fixed the Roku error by changing the device area assignment and then set the “Use device area” in the settings of the device. It was on a different area (originally) and then it was assigned a different area at the “Use device area” turned off - that created the error, I guess! I ignored the “Myq” error because that is a ghost device. I have dropped the MyQ integration a long time ago when Liftmaster/Chamberlain abandoned their support in HA!









  • I used to have an app (and a login account to their cloud server) for my: 1) MyQ Garage Door Opener; 2) TP-Link smart plugs, switches, and bulbs; 3) Reolink AI cameras (I have 6 of them); 4) Insteon plugs and switches; 5) The Weather Channel; etc… Now, I have Home Assistant to manage those devices that I deleted my account from the respective cloud servers and deleted the respective apps from my mobile deives.

    When I’m out and about, my iPhone is always connected to my home VPN gateway so I always have local control of my IoT devices at home with Home Assistant companion app on my iPhone. I have been with Home Assistant for 4 years now. I started with a Raspberry Pi 4B with 8Gig memory and HAOS in a mcroSD card. Now I’m on RPi5 with HA on SSD in a USB-3 enclosure.

    Long Live Home Assistant.


  • My advice: buy the SSD now and download the latest HA image for Pi5 and save it to the SSD. Save a full backup of your current HA into an accessible network share or to a large enough capacity USB Drive. Shut down your current HA. Power up the Pi5 with the SSD, configure the fresh instance of HA on the PI5 (name, IP Address, etc. to match your HA instance). Restore the backup.
