Hi, I have an input select drop down that stores a value an automation checks. Everything works fine until I reboot and it forgets the value and defaults back to initial. Is there a way to store this value so it's remembered after reboot? Or do I just need to remember to reset the value after a reboot? From a search it seems Template Select might be the answer but not sure how to achieve/convert.

input_select:

switch_on_time_dropdown:

name: Charger On Time DD

options:

- "00:00:00"

- "00:30:00"

- "01:00:00"

etc...

- "22:30:00"

- "23:00:00"

- "23:30:00"

initial: "08:00:00"

Added the new Alexa Devices integration about a week ago and it couldn't log in. Github issues said it would be fixed in next update so I disabled it. Updated to latest HA and tried to reenable but it still failed to log in. Deleted the Integration, but now when I try to add it again from either the +Integration list it's not there, and when I try to click link from https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/alexa_devices/ it says it cannot be added from the UI and to update HA.

The Integration isn't disabled or hidden. I'm on the latest HA. Done plenty of restarts. Any ideas where it's gone? Running in Docker managed by Casa

The community card doesn't seem to work. All of the code from the HA forums either didn't work, was based on previous version, or used templates or Node Red. I lack of card skills so did a couple of back and forths with ChatGPT and I was able to get this basic version working so thought it might help others. Going to tweak using Apex docs now I have a working chart. The Next Day won't populate until after 4PM UK.

Had an ambulance with sirens and lights need to use a dual carriageway slip road just as I was approaching it. Immediately before it was a left turn side junction with a car trying to emerge. I didn't put my indicator on in case the car thought I was turning in, so instead did a sort of weak half move into the junction slip road and slow down. Ambulance driver went past and made the slip road exit they wanted, pretty sure I hadn't impeded them, when they went past they gave me a split second pap on the horn and now I'm wracked with guilt.

I got the £16 late shipping voucher and have more or less decided on a 2mm nozzle. What else will wear out whilst I'm paying for postage? The cold plates are always out of stock, and I don't really fancy any of the maker world kits. I'm not really sure what the next thing to wear out is that I'm going to need. A spare 4mm nozzle? Another textured plate? An extruder gear? Thanks.

Not sure about anyone else, but our main meal is long consumed by 4PM and we're alternating between grazing on Quality Street/nuts and falling asleep.

How many of you guys are cooking your Christmas Day meal between 4 and 7:30? https://www.energydashboard.co.uk/historical for 25/12/2023 seems to confirm an 11AM to 4PM peak.

Make me feel like this demand/price is all a bit made up.

Hi,

I've been using an Echo with a Denon HEOS system in the same room as the speakers. This worked great but recently asking the Echo to use Apple music to play to the speaker has stopped working. It's fine with Amazon Music as the source but not Apple Music.

I can use AirPlay to play to the Denon from an iPhone or iPad quite happily, but really I'd like to be able to go back to voice commanding a device to play music. The Echo lets me set a Wifi speaker as default, will a HomePod (the mini) let me set an AirPlay speaker as default? And also not play audio out of the HomePod whilst it's doing it?

Thanks

As title really. I've always slightly been under the impression that having the IHD on and connected somehow helps the readings get back to the mothership more reliably. That's almost certainly all in my head. But now the Mini is on the way, and will send readings over the internet, once it's setup can I just put the IHD back in the cupboard where it belongs?

I arranged my insurance before picking up the ADV350, and stupidly assumed I'd be able to use my Xena 14mm pin disc lock on it. I realised I can't because the holes in the disc are too small.

There are no Endorsements stating it or other locks have to be fitted. The Exclusions mention any declared Tracker needs to be working but not locks. However, the Xena is listed in the Security Device section.

The policy is about to renew (so sorry this isn't in the monthly thread), and I'm wondering if I need to tell them I don't have the Xena in use, or just not worry about it.

Policy is with Adrian Flux/BikeSure, and really, I'm trying to avoid being stuck with one of their policy change charge
