Trying to upgrade from a 2021 release to the latest one, absolutely no idea whether this will work or not...

Originally I abandoned this install because the API I used to integrate a DIY addressable LED strip (controlled by a media player entity, changed colour to match the cover art) was removed and replaced with something else, and I didn't have time to redevelop it.

For a while its been possible to do something pretty similar with WLED - at that point I was just putting off the upgrades to not break anything πŸ˜…

At this point it's probably a better idea to re-install but let's see how this goes!

That's going to be a LOT of reading breaking changes.

That’s all I could think of. So many changes and things to repair

Honestly probably better to start from scratch. Backup yaml automations and scripts outside of Home Assistant and start over.

Read breaking changes? People don't accidentally hit update as they see the bold BREAKING CHANGE then deal with the consequences of their actions for the next 20-30 minutes?

The only reason I update Home Assistant monthly is so I'm never in the position to have to read more than one months worth of breaking changes.
