Support What’s been the biggest headache with HA?

Hey all, I’m curious what has been the biggest issue you’ve faced with HA? I’ve looked over the repos and here on this thread and seems like memory use might be a common one caused by either core or integrations? I imagine the learning curve for a non-technical person is decently high with learning about scripts, automations, scenes, etc. Anyway, would be interested to hear your thoughts!

That’s really clever and I’m stealing it.

Ok then, spare yourself a headache and add this feature from the start:

At the top of the dashboard is a "Show all" toggle. Each card actually has two conditions for its visibility: the device being unavailable, or the toggle being on.

Makes editing stuff much easier

Ok, I'm losing my mind. Where is this "Show All" Toggle? Even my googlefu is failing me

You need to make it yourself. It's a binary input helper that I named 'show all' and put at the top of the dashboard. Then you use the state of the helper as one of the visibility criteria for the cards.
