HomeAssistant Upgrade

Monday - I have been running HomeAssistant as the home automation software in the class A RV since the Spring of 2020 (Covid days). I have been using a Raspberry Pi 3B which is a 32bit processor. Last winter, HomeAssistant ended support for the 32bit processor and I was just procrastinating on the hardware upgrade. I received the Raspberry Pi 5 yesterday (overnight shipping!) and I'm in the process of getting it assembled and HomeAssistant installed on the new hardware.

Later - Some changes needed to be made in the ESP32Home config files due to slight changes. Most of my yaml files haven't changed in the last five years so it isn't surprising that changes needed to be made. It’s all up and running again. And, there is a dramatic increase is speed when generating the binary files. Maybe ten times faster.
