Are you sure? I went looking after I upgraded and I still only have Assist; Scripts; Actions; and Open Page.
Just an Aussie tech guy - home automation, ESP gadgets, networking. Also love my camping and 4WDing.
Be a good motherfucker. Peace.

Oh, sure. I get that. Sending yourself reminders is absolutely understandable. Sending yourself documented evidence of your plans to defraud someone is entirely different.
I use Shortcuts with NFC tags to automate some stuff with HA, and could probably achieve something on an entity by entity basis.
My point is that we used to have the ability to put a widget on the screen with about 6 or 8 entities on it, for simple, single-click access. And now we don’t. Seems silly to have taken it away from us.
In a 2017 email to himself, Smith calculated that he could stream his songs 661,440 times daily, potentially earning $3,307.20 per day and up to $1.2 million annually.
Great idea, but why would you email yourself about it?
The casting bit is the missing piece for me.
I’ve built a RasPi with Kodi for our caravan, to use Plex and stream our free-to-air TV here in Australia (using Musk’s space innernets). I just miss being able to cast from my phone, for the occasional thing I can’t do with a Kodi add-on.
RAID5 and unlimited downloads on my 1Gbps fibre. All I backup is my library metadata itself, using a 2N+C strategy.
It possibly would, but I don’t have any Homekit devices, and I just feel hat this is a simple thing a home automation app should offer, it’s almost conspicuous by it’s removal/absence.
Yep, that’s it. One of my most frequent uses of this widget was to turn the kitchen light off - the teenagers are forever walking in to the kitchen while we’re watching TV in the loungeroom nearby, then forgetting to turn the light off when they leave again.
Having a quick access widget for it just made it such a non-issue for me to turn it off. No fumbling and swiping for the app, and no interrupting what we’re watching to issue a voice command.
Disappointing that, if this was a thing, they removed it. Seems like the very definition of regression to me.
At least I know I’m not imagining it. Or that I’m not the only one. ;) Cheers!
Nah - not a widget per light. Per my OP, I had a widget that had a number of lights on it. The number varies based on widget size. I think mine had about 12 entities on it.
So you can’t possibly conceive that a single finger tap on a home screen widget to control a light is far simpler, and takes less effort, than having to open the app each time, potentially scroll to the location of the entity you want to control, then tap?
Yep, but I’m talking about widgets that you place on your phone’s home screen - not in the app directly.
Name the band? Maybe some of us can pitch in.
Spread across a couple of NASes, each with 4 x 4TB drives in RAID5.
Thanks for this. Yale was also on my list to look into.
Fantastic. Thank you. Yale was second on my list to research.
Yeah, I’m aiming at quality lock over quality smart. As long as I can get remote lock/unlock going, the smarts will be built into my HA/Node-RED automations.
Good point re keyed lock. I won’t be changing my back door locks, so can always jump a fence if I get desperate.
Awesome feedback. Thanks for that.
Do you happen to know if all Schlage smart locks support the same features, or only a specific model range?
Maybe, but I’ve read some posts that state some Schlage locks can be entirely controlled through Z-Wave without needing cloud access.
But, that may mean I don’t get battery monitoring that way.
Ah, no worries mate. Almost got excited for a minute there.
