I normally shrug off most of the changes, but dropping ping from yaml AND fixing the interval just does my head in.

I’m using HA’s basic, built-in, doesn’t need an integration, standard ping, to monitor my network and inform me if people are home, turned off, etc…

And it was simple to just add more ping sensors in yaml, just copy some similar ones.

Now? Jeez…

And overloading HA via too high a ping rate? That’s a fundamental design issue with HA, not a reason to force a move to an automation…

Oh… and my lights don’t work now… ffs
