Features that Don’t Have Parity with Classic [Feb 2021]

[prjct92eh2 (Jimmy)]

@JDRoberts

“left open” (as opposed to “if open”) functionality is missing from the new app

This one is finally added to the new app

@JDRoberts

Fan speed can’t be used in a scene

This works now too

[Andremain (Andreas Christodoulou)]

Was the matches (equals) option there before? I think this also new.

[JDRoberts]

Thanks! Does it work for doors unlocked as well?

[prjct92eh2 (Jimmy)]

would love to check, but the app just logged me out

[Andremain (Andreas Christodoulou)]

Looks like it.

@Andremain

Looks like it.

Awesome!

I have updated the community FAQ:

FAQ: Get a Notification if Something is Left On, Open, or Unlocked for X Minutes (2021)

People frequently ask “how can I get a notification if a contact sensor is open for 10 minutes?“ Or “how can I get a notification if my door is unlocked for more than five minutes?“ Etc. April 2021 Update This has now been added to the official features when you create an automation using the + in the upper right of the main screen, at least for some devices. [image] [image] In case you have a use case/device which does not offer this option in the official features, over the years the community has developed multiple ways of accomplishing this. Some require paying a license fee for third-party app, but then are very easy to use. Others are free but have a more complicated set up. Because this is 2020, please limit discussion in this thread to methods which will work with the new V3…

This appears to be a part of a large update to the Rules API to add a remains condition. I haven’t tested it yet, but it may also solve this discrepancy

@JDRoberts

“After things quiet down“ or “after no motion” automations appear to work differently in the new app and not all use cases can be solved.

[Andremain (Andreas Christodoulou)]

Let’s hope they keep stuff coming.

[Mariano_Colmenarejo]

I see in my devices, that how much time activated or deactivated also added for automations with switch devices, plugs, bulbs, smoke detectors and water valves

[Andremain (Andreas Christodoulou)]

Humidity is now represented with dots inside the graphs.

@Andremain

Humidity is now represented with dots inside the graphs.

That’s awesome… probably a whole development team spent weeks on that going from meeting to meeting to make a “final” decision that it should be dots and not diamonds or squares and solid line instead of dashed one.
(Maybe someone in top management should have a tap on the shoulder for this achievement and the good job done. Or maybe a promotion with pay rise.)

[Andremain (Andreas Christodoulou)]

Hahaha lol!

[Andremain (Andreas Christodoulou)]

@JDRoberts can you please make the fixed parts in bold so that it is easier to spot?

[Andremain (Andreas Christodoulou)]

Thanks a lot!

Weather as precondition?

I’m glad to see them adding features we’ve all wanted for months
