The other day, @tifriis posted an awesome article about Zigbee network performance and it brought attention to something I was unaware of, which is that my devices aren’t supposed to shout all day, everyday about doing mostly nothing. I immediately followed the advice in the article and tried to debounce everything. But then...

Recently, the lights in my office have been becoming randomly unresponsive, with no change to the setup/environment. They’re the only zigbee devices in the mesh that behave this way, and they’re also the closest to the gateway....

What is the best way to have my LED lights loop through various colors?...

Anyone have experience with this MagicMirror module? I can’t get it to talk to HomeAssistant. I realize this may be something to post on MM which I have, just trying both paths as the thread I found was 2 years since the last post.

Hi, all. My wife and I recently got new phones, and it got me thinking again about how notifications work....

I am having issues flashing ESPhome on these ESP32 s2 minis. I have tons of esphome devices. This isnt nearly my first. However it feels like it today…...

how can I send the contents of an entity via xmpp or a matrix notification? For example, the entity is image.ipcam_sued_person (frigate) and contains a snapshot. jpg....

I always use xmpp to send notifications via webhook. Now I would like to test matrix. I installed the integration and it works to send text messages. Unfortunately I can’t send pictures (png). what am I doing wrong?

Now that HA is getting further with local voice control, I’m working towards a full non-cloud, de-googled home experience....

Is Gardena or Husqvarna still king or are the no-name whitebox rebrands catching up?...

I’m looking for one that can:...

So my Home Assistant Blue suffered a tragedy last year and I temporarily switched to using a Pi 4. Then Ameridroid had the Yellow (PoE!) available, and here I am with a Yellow, waiting for the CM4 ( CM4108032) and SSD to arrive tomorrow, and realizing I have no idea what to expect or if there is anything I should expect when I...

Howdy....

I’m trying to migrate from HAOS to HA Container but that’s no way to restore the backup. Is there any other way to do this?

Does anyone know what I need to put in order to display the timer duration?...

I’ve got a couple of Zigbee plugs, all work well, except one I use for the washing machine. It randomly turns off. When I check the history in HA, it just says that it turns off, no source. My guess is that it trips, ie temporarily exceeds 10A. The plugs are rated 10A from Aliexpress.

When I have Guest Mode on, I’d like to maintain my downstairs temperature at 20°, but if it’s just me, I’m happy to suffer at 18°. However I can’t figure out how to do it so that I don’t have to make a whole new set of automations. Is there a graceful way I can set a conditional variable?

Hello! Home assistant has been a blast to set up, however it seems as though there’s no straightforward way to handle messaging between users in the app....

Just a heads up, this broke a bunch of my horizontal stacks and so I had to redo them. Didn’t take long, but still annoying.

Hey all, hoping I can gain some insight into an issue I’m having with my sengled lightbulbs. Basically I have two scenes set up in HAS, one “default” scene that has all the lights at 100% brightness with soft white and another that is for movies that turns off all the light except two and modifies the color value to be a...

Let me just give the simplest explanation of my intended outcome here: I want to use Assist to speak “Play {Album} by {Artist} in {Room name}”, and have it “just work”....
