@bazcurtis@homeassistant@homeassistant@homeassistantinpills This one isn't the cheapest but isn't that expensive either. I think I have the older model. It's been really reliable in my kitchen, it detects motion and illuminance. Battery life has been great too, I think I've had it over a year without replacing. I just wish it had a magnetic base.

Anyone using #Mealie and #HomeAssistant?
I've spent some time creating an integration that mirrors the shopping lists and also creates a read-only calendar of the meal plan. Beta so things may break but if anyone wants to try it feedback is most appreciated.
Got my Chipolo ONE Point! First impressions: yep, it’s a little Bluetooth item tracker. 😁
Interestingly, it has a button just like the standard Chipolo ONE, but it doesn’t do anything after the initial pairing. No ring-your-phone feature or anything… I wonder if that’s something Google will add to the Find My Device network/spec later? Not a big deal, I almost exclusively trigger that accidentally on my Tiles. 😅
Yoooo this is genuinely really useful. The kitchen hub is right next to our key rack, so this tells me my keys are probably put away where they should be.
Seid heute ist mein #apsystems nicht mehr erreichbar. Es sieht so aus, als hätte es sich die Firmware aktualisiert und dabei vergessen die lokale API wieder zu aktivieren. Habe mich per Bluetooth verbunden und das korrigiert. Die Fritzbox zeigt das Gerät an, dennoch komme ich nicht mit Postman auf die API und natürlich kann sich #Homeassistant auch nicht verbinden. Hat das Problem noch jemand? Bitte boosten…
Inzwischen läuft #Homeassistant als VM in #Proxmox stabil und nahezu komplett in der Funktion.
Auch die USV ist verbunden.
Es fehlt eigentlich nur noch Bluetooth.
Gefühlt läuft es deutlich stabiler und performanter als auf dem @homeassistant blue.
a) auf Proxmoxx das Laden des Bluetooth Treibers verhindert (entsprechende blacklist-Zeile in /etc/modprobe.d/bluetooth.conf
b) die USB-ID im Proxmoxx an die VM weitergereicht
Nach dem Booten kümmert Proxmoxx sich nicht mehr um Bluetooth, und das Kernel-Modul für Bluetooth wird in der VM geladen. Wo Home-Assistant es dann auch findet.
My #homeassistant produced this nice image, because today was totally clear sky and my solar panels were providing full power. It's funny how doing things at home is so clearly visible in power usage.
My wife bought this fancy light for our living room thinking we would just be able to put our usual brand of smart bulb inside only to find it came with an LED bar. Luckily it came with a dimmer box in the ceiling mount so I was able to bodge a Shelly Dimmer inside and hook it up to #homeassistant. Kudos for Shelly for allowing this to be done without additional apps or cloud services! I wish all smart home companies could be like this!
@AngryAnt yeah I agree... it's just hard to find them sometimes because the big brands flood the whole internet with their garbage! (says the guy who owns literally dozens of Hue bulbs) :)
@andy_warb It is massively frustrating. When I can't immediately find what I need in my usual local market, my trick is to start from the compatibility list of random Zigbee projects / antennas.
I find that generally something supported by one is supported by the others as well, meaning the lists are more "this is what we could test" and less "only these work".
That gives a nice "which options exist?" base to then look up in misc stores.
After a bit of a frustrating weekend getting my Echo Atom to attached to Home Assistant. That is now done. I made a customer wake word. It was not working, then a few hours later it did work, not it has stopped again.
It was also hit or miss if it would actually do what I told it. It would tell a lamp on, but not off. The same command worked via text. Any ideas?
@bazcurtis@homeassistant@homeassistant@homeassistantinpills@homeassistant I found that the microphone often picked up the background noise causing difficulties for sounds to be picked up. Not sure what you are using for speech to text but if it is all self hosted try the next level "model" as it was more accurate but much slower on a nuc
Je parle de #HomeAssistant, de calendrier, de Google Calendar (et aussi un peu de Airbnb) dans mon dernier article, pour automatiser certains comportements de votre maison pendant vos vacances (ou louée par quelqu'un d'autre).
@rogerparkinson I have 05's which don't seem to work at 3V3 but I know a place I can swap some over tomorrow. I may just stick multiple options on the same device. Belt & braces.
Ultrasonic thingy it is. Managed to hook an ancient MaxSonic up to a Pi Pico W and get meaningful results, so I'll figure out a way to waterproof everything and still let the squeaks out.
My Hilderbrand Glow smart meter interface dropped connection and became unavailable in #HomeAssistant for the first time but I didn't notice for a few days so my energy tracking is missing.
I didn't want to create automations for each critical sensor to alert me when they drop off so with a bit of searching I found a way to do label based triggers.
This wasn't easy and with people relying on HA for more critical things this needs some thought and to be part of core. (1/2)
Loving #PhilipsHue's long press to turn all the lights off. With some node-red and #HomeAssistant, I just extended that to our #lego light kits and display lights.
It was slightly infuriating to do because I had to figure out which event it was and to do that I had to look at all events coming from HA just to find "hue_event" among all "state_changed" events. It was simple after that to find the "long_release" event type for the "hue_event".
@benoit_badrignans@wyri Not sure if it applies, but I do think so, but have you ever looked at the events monitor in the development tools?
I never used Node-red but this should be relatively easy to do using just the HomeAssistant automations and depending on your Zigbee gateway it might even be a build in trigger the you can select from a drop down menu.
@secupriv@benoit_badrignans Yeah it applies, thanks both found them in both locations. Will go there first next time because the "hue_event" is listed. (Not that in matters much but not using Zigbee directly but the official Hue bridge.)
Using node-red in such a way that I get all events, filter all that are of the long_release type, and then trigger the service calls.
This is probably a dumb question, but..... I have some lights that I want to switch on to their brightest setting. With the Phillips Hue app, I can switch it to "Bright" scene, and the brights go to their full brightness. How can I do that with a automation, and not using a Hue scene?
If I send a rgb_colour of 255,255,255 it's not the brightest mode of the bulb.
@bazcurtis@homeassistant@homeassistant@homeassistantinpills@homeassistant I highly recommend trying it. It opens a new world of possibilities. You can make both devices that are much cheaper than their counterparts available to buy, and ones that are not available at all (combine a few sensors/components in a mix that is not generally available). (1/2)
Today I fougt with #homeassistant 'browser mod' because I wanted to redirect the sound from #musicassistant to ... a browser.
I lost.
While it works on Amazon FireHD & FKB browser, it doesn't in Win&Chrome combo.
(2/) Small progress: I can stream music from #musicassistant to any of my Linux machines running Chrome browser (using browser_mod) on a first try.
But not to a Windows PC. I give up for now. I don't even know where to look for the issue. Logs show nothing of use.
Also: can't make #squeezebox (#sqeezelite client) or MusicAssistant Companion app to work on Win.
Been using the GoSungrow addon for #HomeAssistant, and iSolarCloud just booted me off. I have a new password and am back on again. Might have to look at extracting the data locally (which frankly is a much better idea anyway).
@vik I use https://github.com/tjhowse/modbus4mqtt to talk to my Sungrow inverter locally. I have a firewall rule that prevents my router making connections to the internet. Sungrow's track record on IoT security isn't super great.
I’ve been playing with air quality sensors and purifiers in Home Assistant. Here’s my current layout on my dashboard; I want to improve it a bit more, but I am loving the glancable styling powered by the sensor values. :)
Alright #HomeAssistant nerds, I have a question. I would like to set up a standard way to get a derived value back from a number of sensors; for example, given a sensor’s PM2.5, PM10, Ozone, CO, SO2, and/or NO2 reading, I would like to return an estimated air quality index (AQI). Ideally I could also have a standard way to map any given AQI value to a category string, e.g. 10 = Good, 75 = Moderate, 175 = Unhealthy, etc.
This seems like it should be very simple to define a function somewhere, but I can't figure it out! The closest I’ve come is to create new template sensor entities for each sensor, which is a pain. Blueprints seem to be for automations and scripts, not Helpers. 😩
Am I missing something? I don’t really want to have to figure out how to make a new HACS integration, but then again, automatically adding these entities to any relevant sensors (like how Battery Notes works) would be pretty dope…
