I have a self hosted HA deployment that hasn't been updated in a while. I haven't updated it partially because they made the boneheaded move of deprecating their YAML config in favor of GUI-only config, and partially because the developers are insufferable dickholes.
I should probably move off of the deployment that I've got right now at some point, but what are people currently using for home automation? Is anyone running a newer version of HA that thinks it's not actually that bad?
Absence of Yaml is exactly biggest annoyance in modern HA. It just not configurable without million of clicks. Just try to apply same automation procedure to other set of devices. In text you just copy block, in GUI you have to redo everything from scratch.
I'm curious where you run into there not being a YAML option? There's almost always Open in YAML somewhere.
