What they shouldn't tell you in the #HomeAssistant manual: Use the Supervisor Panel. It no longer exists. The Control Panel a quick web search tells you to use instead no longer exists either...
My Mk 1 Quirkey used an ESP32. So I plugged it into #HomeAssistant, fired up ESPhome and told it to program the attached device. Now when I hit the control key on the Quirkey keyboard, I can turn the TV on. All I had to do was change a pin number in a YAML file. Gobsmacked.
@techducks wie vertrauenswürdig sind solche smarten Steckdosen? Die Firmware wird sicher nie erneuert um Sicherheitslöcher zu stopfen und wenn man Namen wie TP-Link 🤮 Tapo liest gibt es bestimmt einige. Zudem die Apps von denen nach Hause telefonieren, Standortfreigabe verlangen (z.B. Tuya) und die Verbindungen auch sicher über deren Server laufen und somit eine weiter Angriffsfläche bieten. Ist es das Risiko wert? Oder gibt es smarte FOSS Steckdosen? #Smarthome#HomeAssistant
I've programmed up an Athom wifi plug in #HomeAssistant to monitor the beer fridge power. In theory it should always be turned on, and get turned on if it reconnects or HomeAssistant resets. Also it should ping me if the plug vanishes off the network so I know if something has blown up. If this works I'll use it to monitor the freezer.
Anyone else seeing issues with #HomeAssistant and #Frigate after the latest HA 2024.5.0 release?
I've restarted everything and so far the issue is un-resolved. What I'm seeing is the Recordings switch is not reflecting the actual state of recording enabled or not. This is using the frigate-hass-integration. I see the recordings value toggle in MQTT, but it's just not updating in the device within the integration.
New features for our new data tables, create helpers directly from the automation editor, the tile card now supports locks, easily adjust the name of a device on the energy dashboard, and improved audio with ESPHome for Assist.
Hm, ich möchte mein #HomeAssistant demnächst auf ein #raspberrypi 4 umziehen. Auf 5 macht meines Erachtens keinen Sinn. Das TDP ist mir da zu hoch, Lüfter will ich nicht, das muss schon passiv funktionieren und die Performance wird reichen, weil HA (noch) auf meinem Synology NAS im Docker läuft.
Aber mit SSD wäre der Pi 5 geeigneter.
Es gibt verschiedene Szenarien. Eines wäre bei null anzufangen, mit HA OS lokaler DB, da wäre die SSD sinnvoll.
It's so nice to have a parts bin deep enough (and infrastructure developed enough) to just build the things I want to build.
I put some grass seed down but didn't have a sprinkler, so I bought a sprinkler, and then I decided I wanted to hook it up to #HomeAssistant
All I needed to buy was a cheapie in-ground solenoid sprinkler valve, NPT to GHT thread adapters, and a 24VAC transformer. Dug a Z-Wave relay out of the parts bin and wired it up.
@popey@testman Of course, best is a subjective measure so it really depends on your goal. I lean towards #NeonAI as it's more full featured than #OVOS, but YMMV. #HomeAssistant has also made huge strides in the voice arena, and continue to work on it. You can turn an ESP32-S3-Box-3 into a marginally capable assistant if your only goal is to control your smart home. If you want to ask it questions about the weather or actors/politicians then no. Not yet.
In #homeassistant, using #nodered to make an API call to a #llamacpp server running #mistral 7B model. I create a prompt that asks it to summarize all the data in my house from the sensors. The results are pretty impressive for such a little model. Now I get a customized rundown, Jarvis style.
Useful? Probably not. But cool as hell. :cool_skelly:
Feel like a real asshole. Needed to display a long string in #homeassistant acquired via #nodered. HomeAssistant has a max string length of 255. Rather than figuring out how to set entity attributes from Node-Red, I just created two component strings below the threshold and recombine them in the UI.
For #Zigbee remotes for light controls, do you use bindings, or #HomeAssistant automations to control the lights?
Seems like bindings is might be good idea because the remotes will still work if HomeAssistant/Zigbee2MQTT is down, but it seems you also lose some flexibility in terms of what action a button press takes?
Ja, es gibt #esp32cam für offizielle, geeichte, mechanische Wasserzähler.
Es gibt aber auch für wenig Geld nicht rechtlich sichere digitale Wasseruhren, die immer noch ausreichen, wenn man z.B. wissen will, wie viel Liter man zum Gießen seines Gartens verwendet.
Was ich nun nirgends finde: Gibt es solche billigen digitalen Wasserzähler auch mit irgend einer Form von Schnittstelle? Seriell? I2C?
Im Industrie-Bereich gibt es das. Aber während der Wasserzähler für den Garten unter 20€ kostet, sind Zähler für Industrieanlagen eher 20x so teuer, und das lohnt sich dann für eine Mess-Spielerei nicht mehr.
Dis moi l'fédi, tu as déjà installé quelque chose pour rendre connecté des volets roulants ? L'idée serait de programmer des ouvertures et fermetures, surmener via Home Assistant ou un truc comme ça
Tried getting SSH into #HomeAssistant. Use public key like a good boy - but it doesn't. Solution: set a password 😬 and login. After that authorized keys work, and can be seen correctly in .ssh/authorized_keys . But if I remove the password (which isn't prompted for) it stops working. Aaaarghhh! So then add authorized key and remove password. It finally works. Why me, Oh Lord?
@golemwire I'm not familiar with spd-say, but espeak absolutely would. I'll assume they both would. I'm just more familiar with piper. I played around a lot with the old #Mycroft assistant, both on dedicated hardware and running on my computer. It used Mimic for it's TTS. It's primary developer was Michael Hansen, who also developed Piper. It's also the engine that's built into my #HomeAssistant setup. And who doesn't love having Popey read your news to you?
