Please update card-mod to 3.1.4
I LOVE TODAY'S JOKE - IT MADE ME MAD BUT THAT IS WHAT FUN IS ABOUT! LOVELY ;-)
Love it! I'm amazed that I stumbled across this so quickly!! Very funny though!!!
Love it. We need more fun and gave me a good laugh this morning.
What's with the entitlement? It's just a joke, calm your shit
looooooool love you @thomasloven ...make me smile today...and more when i read other are angry...... :)
Rotating card is fun, making input_selects unusable is not fun, it makes 1000s of real systems unusable.
It is strange, how developers can't understand the real problem behind this.
This is a typical example of a one-liner, that is harmless, do it, and then everything is got f### up. See New Horizons story: test system unavailable, code change is "harmless", let's upload it anyway, a few hours later the probe ~1bkm away from you disappears... You have only a few days before it reaches Pluto... That was a "harmless one-liner", nearly destroying billions of dollars and thousands of people's lifetime work. That's why never make untested "harmless" modifications.
ThΓ‘t is a MARS ROVER. This is home assistant. please pull your head out of your ass
Love the joke! We need more of this in HA. He even released a patch right away, why all the hate? Just don't use Home Assistant for a day, tomorrow it will be gone π

I think that everyone needs some fun these horrible days. Please do not be so angry. This is April 1)))
Also, I think that the most upset person is Thomas. Probably he is upset of complains and anger of some people. I want to express my support and gratitude to Thomas Loven for his amazing work! Please keep your good work!
@thomasloven damn. we had a power outage for several ours. then power came back but whole internet and network crashed. after hours of seraching i figured out the main network switch forgot its configuration for link trunking and some kind of loopback happend and made the network crash every time. after spinning up the VM's (i was now 2 o'lock) i noticed that odd look in HA and HA reportet a DB error because of the outage. i thought something crashed and it didnt recover from a fresh reboot so i dumped the whole machine and made a recover from an old backup but lost all historical sensor data.
2 hours and lost data for nothing. i am really pissed. cant find anything funny on this.

Thanks. So far the people laughing seem to outweigh the ones who got problems, and those also seem to understand that there was no ill intent. I understand my reputation has been damaged and will NOT do anything like this again (knowingly N.B.). I've been teaching my kids that a good April fools joke ends with the fool laughing, and while I may have failed here I still hope the people with problems will be able to laugh too once this is all over. If that's laughing at me rather than with me - so be it.

I'm really sorry about that. But this did NOT cause a DB error.

db looks fine, i think it just stated that it was not gracefully shut down or something. but since the dashboard look that way i thought something in lovelace got damaged since i had some design errors half a year ago because of a typo/bad yaml.
so i thought the only way was to revert to a backup where this didnt happen and then noticed it just happend anyway and the recovery wasnt necessary at all :(

Exactly.
I love the joke, Thomas!
Very Nice! Really like this Joke !!!
Makes me smile :) Can we keep it for ever? And next year you adjust everything straight ^^
Thanks for the fun
the most funny thing for me was, that the "white bars" on my lovelace were only visible on macos - nothing on android or ios
I did not notice anything not working - just the outlook of the lovelace but in fact, is something WAS not working then... maybe too far
anyway, it is very "normal" in IT but also in life: when 1 shit happens, there is an avalanche - but up to restoring the HA from backup? I would have waited a bit ;-)
A brilliant idea! ππ£π

Thats a shame!

Mate, you provide the enthusiast community with a great number of no-cost open source aftermarket add-ons to a piece of "as is" no-cost tinkerware provided without any guarantee of fitness for purpose.
Anyone using it does so at their own risk, and I'd be horrified if this recent spat discouraged you from continued development in any way. The community owes you a lot, and paradoxically its only when things misbehave that some will realise quite how important your contributions are.
Its a mis-step. You've remediated as best you can. Its all good.
well put @arallsopp. I second that...
@thomasloven While this may have gone a bit awry. Press on. Learning is a lifetime endeavor... never stop. The stuff you do is tremendous for the community. Thanks for all your efforts. How you've handled this is top notch. Commercial companies wouldn't have handled it near as well (or would have asked $$ for the update ;-) ).

@thomasloven I can personally laugh at this. I find the work you do valuable and therefore the joke is also acceptable. Thanks for your hard work and keep it up!
Had to update and see what everyone was so "HAPPY" about. Tilting my experience! =)
Downgraded after that to 3.1.1 but still the same even deleting cookies and using another browser. So somthing is funky here aswell.
Downgrading won't help. Updating to 1.3.4 will - or waiting until tomorrow. This has been lying in wait for almost an entire year.

Just Upgrading didnt fix it, neither just deleting the cookie for HA. Had to do a cleansweep of cookies and the restart browser. Now its look normal again! ;(
What an interesting situation! I knew that someone's live system was going to have problems. Rarely does a joke like this go off without accidentally causing someone collateral damage. This can be a lesson for so many people involved. Including the author! When you're in a power position of having contributed a large part of the fabric of an ecosystem, a harmless joke will never actually be harmless. Your code touches too many systems across the world for you to take account for everything.
I see both sides of the argument here. This software is free and open source. You are using it without any expectations of anything. Legally, anyway...
But there's an interesting reality we must all face. This is used to control homes. What if that drop-down was bugged out for a setup someone had to disarm their alarm? Or even a panic button during a robbery?
Regardless of how much some of you would like to rail on others for "not having a sense of humor", there's an extremely slim chance that, given the way HA is meant to be integrated into a person's life, that it could have caused major issues.
Yes, again, this is open source software. But it's also HOME CONTROL software. This is a software package ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED by it's authors and also Thomas here to CONTROL THEIR HOMES. This can include devices that are capable of causing physical harm.
So this whole argument about "not using the software for mission-critical purposes" is kinda BS. The software exists to control critical things in your home. The ceiling of issues that can arise when using this software can be dangerous if you hook it in to certain devices.
What's funny is, I DO pay attention to my install process... I saw the warning 30 minutes before April 1st even came, so I just decided I wasn't gonna see the joke and upgraded anyway :P
None of this takes away from the great work Thomas has contributed to the community. They're two entirely different discussions. Anyone here responding to people who had issues with the joke by saying "Well I have a sense of humor and I appreciate his work!!" is missing the point. Having a problem with this isn't unappreciative of Thomas's work.
And I don't think this has "damaged" his reputation at all. However I don't think there is necessarily any good "lessons" for the users here. If any other HA developer chose to do something malicious like this, then we'd all be very screwed. Knowing this doesn't really even help. The only thing that would help would be to stop using HA altogether, which is kind of a shitty takeaway from this whole situation.
I dunno. Fascinating!

true we can all learn from that... joke ;-)
Two words: F* Y
Not funny in productive systems...

I understand you probably don't feel like helping me right now, but would you mind posting a screenshot of your system? Through this day (and what a day) I have had a hard time understanding just how breaking this could be.
Please refrain from name calling. From both sides.
Seriously? Please change your tone!
Sorry, i spent hours over hours to figure out what's happening before I saw this "issue" breaking the Automation Page.. I'm tracking my pv-system with HA and NEED a system without glitches.
I understand you probably don't feel like helping me right now, but would you mind posting a screenshot of your system?
I already updated card-mod, did an unplanned restart of HA and no glitches left.
Yes. I did not anticipate the way the effect could stack up in the automations editor or how the menus in the integrations page would switch render stacking. That was unfortunate and I've learned a lot today...
I'm glad you got it working again at least.
Issue solved, closing.
Checklist
Describe the issue you are experiencing
When input_select pop-up list is rendered downward, it is behind everything. Nothing can be changed in the system, great idea.
When it rendered upward, it is OK:![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5061219/161206062-99447dd7-8feb-4740-b9b0-484d964ef9f9.png)
This happens on Win Chrome, Win Firefox (vanilla install), Win Edge, Android app, Android Chrome, so this is not a client malfunction, this is coming from HA itself.
At the same time this happens also, that's why I think it is an April 1 joke, gone wrong (note, each card is rotated):![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5061219/161206320-6f29322f-b374-45ad-9199-9825b4e8f426.png)
Describe the behavior you expected
No **** jokes.
