I've got a question now regarding some sensors I picked up. The data I'm getting from them doesn't seem right, trying to determine if it's just bad hardware or if I need to do a better job positioning them, etc. Best channel would be... #1284966353798697001 maybe?

earnest lake
#

presumably you're using some integration for them

minor kelp
#

They are Zigbee devices, have them set up as such.

#

Configured fine, just questioning the data coming in from them, whether its a hardware fault or if this is somehow normal.

I used the Helper to "change the device type of a switch" in order to change an HA-managed Shelly to a Lock, and though it still works perfectly in HA, it has disappeared from my HomeKit, despite my HK bridge configuration being unambiguous that it should be exposed. I'm 100% sure it's me having messed up, not a bug, but I'd still like some help understanding how to avoid messing up like this in the future. Where might I find someone to take pity upon me?

So, quick question that I don't think needs to be a whole topic. There's not really a way to add a user with read only/strict permissions, IE allow access only to one lovelace and none of the settings menu, energy dashboards, etc? I know there's an addon for kiosk mode, but I was hoping I could enable a read onyl view with strict limits for guests

Hi everyone 👋

I’m working on a small Home Assistant add-on project and I’d like to share it with the community to get some feedback.

The add-on is called HA AI Context Exporter.
Its goal is to export a structured summary of a Home Assistant installation so AI tools (like ChatGPT or local LLMs) can better understand the system.

It’s still very early and experimental, and I’m not a professional developer — this is actually my first bigger project.

Before posting about it, I wanted to ask:
Which channel would be the best place to share and discuss a project like this?

Thanks!

May be a silly question, but I don't see a channel specific to the App itself, but on the MAPS page in Home Assistant, it shows my "HOME" Icon more than a mile away from my actual address. My Home was built in 2018 and I know Google has screwed up my address for years... but is there a way to fix it in the APP or does the app just use google to resolve addresses?

I've an issue with configuring HA with a reverse proxy - get to the login screen but after (carefully) entering username and password it just does the "Unable to connect to home assistant" retrying in 60s loop.

Is that a question for #1284966540617449515 ?

yes. and you probably didn't enable websockets through your reverse proxy

That is definitely not something I anticipated, so I shall right away!

Will a full backup -> Restore during onboarding work from 14.x to 17.1 ? Or is that too big of a leap, and should I go 14.x ->15->16->17 ?
I got caught with an old 32 bit install on a Pi4b Rev 1.2, so it can support the 64bit platform, I just believe I need to completely reinstall?

restore doesn't have anything to do with the OS

If you think an upgrade broke something then:

  1. Downgrade to the previous version to check if it works correctly there
  2. If it does then change the logger settings for that integration to debug
  3. Upgrade to the new version again
  4. Look in the logs for errors

Hi, hope i am in the right place i have got HA os install on a pi4 and its running core 2025.6.0 and i have got a plug in that needs to be on 2025.12.0 but i cant seem to update HA am i missing something real easy

Hi, I'm looking for HA minimum system requirements.
I've got an older version running fine on a rpi3 1gb RAM, but I need to update it to a 64bit architecture to get updates and the recommended hardware is rpi4 or 5 with at least 2gb RAM.

I preferably don't want to spend money unnecessarily, so would my current rpi3 1gb RAM suffice?

It doesn't do much besides run a few automations every now and then. Memory currently sits at 56% usage mostly and cpu around 5-10%

hi all, i'm having a spot of noob confusion here and failing badly at trying to google or forum search it up. real simply: what's the order of operations i should follow to setup Hue lights with HA+Zigbee2MQTT? I just plugged one in, brought it into Z2M, and it worked alright....but then when I added it to the Hue app as well, now I have no device named that in Z2M but I have two of the same name in HA, only one of which works

#

my guess is that means it somehow switched over to some other integration

#

which is why i went looking for answers instead of just deleting the nonfunctional one

hi, i have a problem with apps (addons): when i click on install on any app, it doesn't show any indication of the download status, but only a loading spinner that spins forever. when i reload the page, it lets me click on install again without any loading spinner, as if nothing happened. after a few hours, the app suddenly appears in the apps list (sometimes it doesn't). i was wondering if this is intentional or if it's a bug, and where i could report it.

Hello. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/bosch_alarm/ says that

Does that mean anyone who can log into Home Assistant can freely arm/disarm through the integration? Is there no additional protection against these operations?

I'm asking because https://github.com/mag1024/bosch-alarm-homeassistant says

⚠️ Since the Mode 2 automation user has "superuser" priviledges, it bypasses the regularly-configured alarm pin: you will not be prompted for a User code when arming/disaming through the integration. The integration also supports (optionally) setting a Home Assistant-local pin to protect these operations -- it does not need to match any of the codes configured on the panel.

Notice the statement The integration also supports (optionally) setting a Home Assistant-local pin to protect these operations -- it does not need to match any of the codes configured on the panel.

I'm quite confused here

That's what I'm starting to realize. HA has an entity for current steps (ble advertised), but I work overnight and this watch resets its step counter at midnight. I'm not home at midnight so I miss half the day. I think I need to rethink the way I currently ingest the data from the watch. It's a BangleJS2 watch so no app or integration.
