@plex I also have to add that the ad breaks would be a lot more tolerable if they didnt repeat the same ad multiple times in a single break, surely #plex has enough unique adverts they can fill each slot with without repeating the same one multiple times. On top of the subtitle issue this just makes the experience of watching ad supported content even more frustrating to the point where i think i may have been better off pirating the content rather than trying to watch it through legit means.

@ro @homeassistant No, it seems like too much of a faff to set up, maybe if/when Hive stop supporting my devices altogether. TBH I'm not interested in an alternative solution unless it's as easy to set up as the original hive integration. If i have to buy more kit, especially development boards or learn how to code in some programming language then it's an instant no for me.

@ZS @homeassistant Oh cool, I didn't know you could pair devices directly with the Homekit integration, i always assumed you had to connect devices with their respective integrations in HA first for the Homekit integration to see them.

@ZS @homeassistant weirdly enough i have it connected the other way round lol. I have the Hub connected directly to homeassistant via the Hive (cloud) integration and it is served to my apple devices via the homekit integration. I don't have any other homekit servers unfortunately. I also use the Hive thermostat for triggering automations in HA based on the temperature it's reporting, so not having access in HA could have a knock on effect for other devices.

@linickx @homeassistant Good to know, Likewise i don't think i want to risk it right now so I will probably wait until they drop support for my device before i attempt that. Cheers!

@homeassistant tried rebooting my Home Assistant Server again and the Hive Entities are showing as available and appear to be working again. So near enough certain the issue was at Hive's end but neither the app or their (frankly useless) customer service team could give any indication what the cause was.

IS there any #OpenSource smart thermostats and boiler interfaces available that are compatible with #Homeassistant ? if not open source, are there any that at least aren't cloud connected?

@homeassistant boiler and thermostat are showing as connected in the Hive Mobile app again but still unavailable in Home Assistant.

@homeassistant I think i spoke to soon, its not working in the hive app anymore either and now the troubleshooting steps in app are failing to fix the issue this time around. I suspect it's a hive issue rather than home assistant.
