    Recently did this and yes it’s a pain. I don’t know if it’s going to help until next time we change phones, but what I did this time was name the device after the person, rather than the phone model.

    The idea being that I can delete the old device in the future and replace it with the new device, named the same. That way I don’t have to change the device name in each automation every time. Hopefully that made sense. But I still haven’t tested it in reality.

    All you’re gonna find here is blind defence of Sync. I used it for Reddit and it was amazing, but honestly, the Lemmy app isn’t worth it. Voyager is great if you’re looking for an alternative. It’s free and it’s maintained with updates almost every week.

    The point is that method doesn’t work for the feediverse where things are constantly updating. It’s ok to expect that an app is maintained, especially when asking that high a price. I don’t get all the blind defence people have for Sync. It’s a highly priced app for a platform that’s entirely free and there hasn’t been an update or peep for months. It’s ok to question it. People would be for any other app.














  • Yeah I have been. But have a mix of apex and mini graph. Was going to migrate them all to apex and noticed it hasn’t been updated in years. Didn’t want to migrate everything and then have it stop working in a future home assistant update. Could be worrying about nothing though.

    The only other thing I’ve noticed is that it’s quite power hungry compared to mini graph, albeit it having more functionality.
