Same behaviour here, showing loading

[benquan]

Have been trying to solve this but can't seem to solve it. The frontend has changed how it searches for Home Assistant Cloud. Any help aprecieted.

[rpouetpouet]

Thanks for keeping us posted!
Hope somebody will help you on that. Or just the HA team will provide an official solution...

[dafunkydan]

I highly doubt HA help with that, given that they want to force the users to go cloud, and in the past refused to accept a PR for Users to decide. I wouldn't be surprised, if the recent change is somehow related to that great Addon.

I want to thank benquan for his great work, and hope that it isn't dead, but somehow adaptable.

"Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence" but in this case it sure feels like a targeted strike.

It's a pity. I'm a paying customer of theirs, but having multiple installations is extremely inconvenient in cloud and android mobile.

Oh well, all commercial open source software eventually succumbs to enshittification and requires a fork. I just didn't expect the horizon to be that close.

Given that I was able to use the code here to remove the cloud component from the config menu, what would I need to modify in the official 'homeassistant' cloud component code to do the same thing? (Approach 1)

There appears to be a bunch of code in this builtin component that the rest of the core now relies on. Watching the logs when starting up with benquan's code gives a list of errors from elements that are now required.. (see below). Maybe we can implement these elements with some minimal functions to remove the errors. (Approach 2)

I dont yet understand the Python code enough to do this myself.

this PR works for me
#2

edit:
only now I have this message

where I'm not sure I'm happy with,

[daveyijzermans]

Surely, it must be possible to hide the offending list item with either JavaScript or CSS? Something that applies a display: none to the right selector when on the settings page? Custom component takes care of disabling the cloud back-end, and some other code to hide it on the front end?

A better approach would be to suppress this cloud related warning internally.

If that invalid config message had any side effects (now or at some point in the future), the display:none wouldn't prevent them

[richard-scott]

Remove this repo, and try mine if you want: https://github.com/richard-scott/cloud

[benquan]

Tried @richard-scott repo and does work. No sure I can follow the whole process, but I do get a basic idea of what its doing. Please use that one.

[bkbartk]

tried that one as well, and it seems to work
@richard-scott can you enable issues on your git, just in case someone has an issue?
and one question, if the default config changes in core, I assume an update on your side will be required to have the changes applied as well?

[richard-scott]

Sure, I can enable issues.

The process runs via the GitHub actions workflow and will (eventually) get updated automatically each time upstream makes a release and the files we need get changed.

Currently that part is manual, but I’m an active user of HA so will keep on top of it 👍

[ThomDietrich]

I'll wait till #3 is merged. Thanks @richard-scott for your work!

[richard-scott]

I've updated my PR to include a bin/update.sh script that does the grunt of the work... you can run this manually if you desire.

@benquan there is also a GitHub Action that will also run this script for you. That's currently set to run at midnight each day.
