presumably you're using some integration for them
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.
Then #1284966617670881350
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?
Would anyone be able to point me in the correct direction for pointers in deciphering the USB data for an older sleep number model?
Trying to determine a root to bypass the cloud but much easier said than done
You may not find help for that on this server. You can try in #the-workshop
What channel would I go to about setup errors?
What channel would be the best if I am starting out completely new? I bought HA Green and HA Connect as well as two Sonoff Zigbee Thermostatic Radiator Valves and feel like a step by step guide would be the best before I open any of the packages.
Thank you!
there are also several related links here: https://support.nabucasa.com/hc/en-us/categories/24638797677853
Appreciated!
Thank you, Managed to fix it now by just restarting my pi 4 too many times lmao
It was hanging on the Setup part for hours that’s why I came here (plus a previous SD Card install wouldn’t even move) but it’s all resolved now
Im looking for help with my SLZB-06MU. It keeps on crashing all the time with Zigbee2MQTT. Im new to all of this btw. Where can I find help? Thanks

Hi guys,
Why is it suddenly not possible to click on the updates ?
A) clear your browser cache b) #1284965988642590891 for more
Hey, any rss for https://www.openhomefoundation.org/blog/ ? Thanks!
Great question (I have no idea where to point you so will answer here). Looking at the repo for the website It appears that there is currently not any rss/atom feed for the site. As an RSS enjoyer I think that this is a great thing to point out.
You could raise an issue HERE to highlight it.
Problems with Thread Border Router credentials?

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
All questions deserve topics. #1284966540617449515
Alrright, guess I'll try there.
Thanks, yeah that could work. 😄
where do i put questions for the api?

Hello, recently my Qbus system stopped working in Home Assistant. I'm looking for someone who can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. (Qbus is from Belgium) (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/qbus)
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!
hello guys. totally new to home assistant. I'm looking for a budget (don't mind used item) that is low on power and can manage automations etc for the home security, lights and cameras. Can anyone kindly assist?
#1284966353798697001 -> Recommendations
Thanks @earnest lake
Good point, I forgot to add it. I'll do it next week 🙂
Thank you so much!
What channel should i go for issues with the google assistant intergration?
I noticed something in the 17.2 release notes and I'm not sure if I need to take additional steps to avoid a problem. Where should I ask questions related to updates and, in my case, HA Yellow updates?
Hey guys, i have a problem and i hope you will help me. In my HA installation all Long Time Statistics are empty. Settings -> Developer Tools > Statistics = empty. Did anybody have an idea where i can start to finde the Problem. I deleted the Database file Yesterday, in case of an coroupt file, bit still nothing. The files grows and the graphs on the entities it self are available. Any idea?
I'm trying to set up a ZBT-2 with home-assistant (docker) and open-thread-border-router (docker) both on the same raspberry-pi 4b. However when I try to add the open-thread-border-router integration it tells me that the Rest API url is incorrect even thoug the border router logs say the rest server started on that url.
#1284966617670881350 with the "Matter" tag.
Thanks, found a thread from someone else with a solution there.
Hey all, I'm looking to group lights together in the way the old Hue Groups worked (before they threw them out). Not quite sure if that's integrations, automation or configuration. What do you think where it should go?
I am using a Vm to run HA. When i load into HA I don't see the addons sections. can someone help out
Is it recommended to stick with a microSD for HAOS, or should I take a serious look into an NVME? If so, any recommendations? (I'm definitely going with a microSD short-term, at the very least)
They're called Apps. #1284966540617449515 for more
Awesome, Got it added to my reader now. 🙂
Hi. I have a sensor (car tyre pressure) expressed in PSI through the brand integration, and I would like to see it in BAR in HA. I would like to ask about the cleanest way to do that but I'm not sure where to ask.
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?
Thank you!
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/new-ha-green-add-ons-not-available-under-settings/1002982/4 i have a customer asking about the apps not showing up on his ha-green and when i google i found this. can you tell me which channel i need to ask for help regarding what to tell the customer? thanks in advance!
Doing a reset should fix that. Worst case a microSD reset procedure.

How can I get an android notification to bypass DND? Today I installed a new faucet and valves to replaced ones that broke yesterday, my kid is sick, i'm so tired, I just want this leak sensor to wake me up if the faucet leaks, and my android phone doesn't seem to recognize a "channel" like all of the docs are telling me to use. please help.
Thank you. That's just posting a question and hope someone bothers to read it to answer. This is discord. Isn't there a chat room to ask people?
No.
That's... disheartening. Well, thank you, regardless.

Hi, I'm looking for help configuring smart switches with smart bulbs
depends on what kind of smart switches and what kind of smart bulbs
Mostly Aqara H2 switches, with a few Shelley relays. Ones that have smart bulb mode. The bulbs are Aqara and Ikea bulbs mostly

also, is there a channel for networking?

I have a Matter-over-Wifi RGBTW bulb from Linkind that added just fine, but always defaults to bright blue when it receives a light_on signal. I'm not sure where to search to see if anyone else is having the same or similar problem. I'd appreciate a pointer in the right direction, thanks!

Hi all, I need some best practices and questions about matter over thread. Got some ikea devices but even bulbs are disconnecting time to time so I need to figure out something. Should I ask to #1284966617670881350 ?
Yes.
i am trying to find some support for my ipad not displaying dashboards any more, either the companion app or any web browser I install

Howdy, I am trying to set up HA as a backup stage light controller for ~ 24 stage lights, and I am having some issues with lighting groups not applying to all lights (in fact, it seems almost random which lights get controlled) and on how to create a nice compact UI (dashboard) for this purpose. Is there anyone else using HA for stage lights?
#1284965988642590891 for dashboards and #1284966582375813201 for lighting groups.

should i use github for a ui suggestion for helpers? (colour the rows, add the current value + w/%/kwh, etc, grouping, way to name). Seperately a question on how people do a naming scheme for sensors on helper/sensors. lastly is there a general chat or is it forum based here?
sadly i lack the knowledge of programming to do it and illness in family and myself did it but I can see it speeding things up, just not sure if it works.
If you have a feature request for Home Assistant you can open one here. Feature requests for custom cards, integrations, etc. should be made to the developer of that custom card/component.
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!
that is how the frontend communicates with the backend
And right there under the little expanding "Advanced Options" bit - Websockets, off by default.
I could kiss you.
THankyou @earnest lake
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
you need to reinstall the OS and restore your backup
Yep that was the idea - was just unsure if the version gap would kick my arse.

Hi all! Which would be the best channel to share both of these?
I built zimaos-monitor, an app that exposes ZimaOS stats via MQTT with Home Assistant auto-discovery.
I'd love to share it and build it together with the community: https://github.com/Pocho-Labs/zimaos-monitor
I also applied twice to the Home Assistant Creator Network (I run a YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@PochoLabs about Home Assistant, smart home, home servers, 3D printing and tech), but didn't receive any response 🙁 My first apply was on October 2025.
@vocal schooner ☝️
I go through applications every other Friday, but that was paused due to the work load I had for SOTOH.
Whether you are accepted or not, you will receive a response when I get to your application.
Thanks Missy for your quick reply! I remember reading that when I applied. My first application was in October 2025, and I didn’t receive any notification, so I just wanted to make sure it didn’t get lost. No worries, I’ll keep waiting.
My main goal is to help grow the Home Assistant community in Argentina and LATAM.
I look forward to reviewing your application then! One of my main goals is expanding the languages/regions covered by the network. 
That’s great to hear, thanks Missy! 🥰

Hello!
I'm new to Home Assistant and I'm currently setting it up.
I plan to add many devices (~80) to my Home Assistant, and from my research, I've seen that it's possible to change the Home Assistant database system (currently SQLite) to MariaDB.
Would it be more appropriate to post my questions in #1284966540617449515 or #1284966582375813201? (Or somewhere else?)
Thanks in advance!
No on the DB change, but ask in https://discord.com/channels/330944238910963714/1284966540617449515
I have a Costway (Aux) heat pump that uses the Tuya Smart Life app. I have set up the offical Tuya integration in HA (doesn't work at all), Tuya Local (pulls the device from the developer page but doesn't connect when given the IP), and Local Tuya (does not detect the device at all).
I have HAOS running in a VM on a wired network.
Thank you.
This might be a stupid question - I have an old config that uses wake-on-lan but when I checked the documentation it said to "click here" to add it as an integration - however, it's currently working fine ( I just need to add another device) but when I check in Integrations, there's no WOL there. Did it end up in core ?
Integrations it is then
(It doesn't appear in my system under integrations, despite working, hence my ask!)
#1284966582375813201 is the channel to ask for details.

where can i ask about truenas home assistant help im unable to start the app
idk why all discord communities do this, its like the least useful and fast way to get help
You can mail their support. They don't seem to have their own Discord.
With almost 160k users there has to be a certain structure. If this isn't fast enough for you, you would have to try it elsewhere.
Where can I enquire about getting a PR that's been waiting for a year merged in the OHF-Voice/intents repo?
The docs say to use a #developers channel that doesn't seem to exist. I've found an Intents and Sentences project on Discord but it doesn't allow me to post a message.
Self-assign the Developer role in id:customize and you will get access.

I want to build a smart speaker for myself which would have a brain running something like openclaw. The am looking at the voice PE. I want this to act as the sat and route audio to my mac mini running openclaw + pipecat to manage the voice conversations. The idea is to have a wake word and a sleep word so it's a toggle, once woken i can keep having conversations similar to like the voice modes on AI chat apps or voice agents. Where is the best place to start conversations around this?
Where to post on beta iOS app ?
Not sure what channel to post this in so if someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I haven't touched my Home Assistant at all today. But randomly I just got a notification from a monitoring service saying HA was down. When I checked I couldn't load the WebUI. I can still access the HA CLI in my VM via vnc. I rebooted it and see that it says (No address) for the IPv4. But no idea why or how that would have randomly happened.
Thanks, I actually just fixed it though. No clue at all as to what happened. But using the HA CLI i just assigned a static IP to the interface and it instantly made the WebUI accessible and working again. That IP was already set statically in my router admin page. Strange though

Where do I put a possible bug report? seems 2026.4.3 broke/changed handling of variables when building dockerfiles. An addon I was using no longer works as the variable is not filled corectly, anymore
Want to see what issues are open (or were open and are now closed)?
- The core (backend) - for HA itself, and integrations
- The frontend (UI) - for cards and display issues
- The Supervisor
- HAOS
- The documentation
Don't forget to check for any alerts
If you think an upgrade broke something then:
- Downgrade to the previous version to check if it works correctly there
- If it does then change the
loggersettings for that integration todebug - Upgrade to the new version again
- Look in the logs for errors
- Open an issue, following the template provided and including the log information
sounds like something for the Supervisor

Self-assign the Developer role in id:customize and you will get access to the support channels for devs.

The application ID is also displayed in the media player card when you launch the application on the device.
I have my NVIDIA Shield set up with Android Remote but I don't see the the currently open app anywhere in HA.

@turbid olive I converted your message into a file since it's above 15 lines :+1:
@turbid olive Container installs don't have apps. For more: #1284966540617449515
thankyou so much actually i couldnt find my smart extension to add so foud out of hacs
You have to follow the container instructions of HACS, not those for HAOS. #1284966582375813201 can help with setting up HACS.
thankyou will try my best
hi i have managedhave managed to install it , can you also guide me how do i add devices which arent listed ?
Create a post in #1284966582375813201 , if you need help with HACS.
Not sure where to ask about the community forum not letting me create an account. (Presumably the best answer is an email address rather than a Discord channel but I couldn't find an email address)
hello@home-assistant.io would be a contact mail.
Perfect, thanks!
Can anyone tell me which channel is best for asking questions regarding YAML configuration for an Emporia Vue 3 running esphome?
For ESPHome config you might be better off asking on the ESPHome discord server. https://discord.gg/njA5xzbR
In this case it's mostly to understand what I need to do to trim it down to just the basic information like voltage, wattage, etc. so HA can handle the calculations
You are likely better off with the ESPHome Discord.

Hello, my HA has been messing with me for a couple of days now and I havent had the time to look into it until now.. After login I get stuck with "Loading data" and can´t get passed it.. Any ideas what the problem might be? I´ve tried restart it and also restore from diffrent backups but to no avail..
#1284966582375813201 can help with the ESPHome integration.

Hi ho everyone.
Absolute newbie to HA. I am running a few smart plugs from TAPO fir now, and as per https://python-kasa.readthedocs.io/en/stable/SUPPORTED.html I am trying to create "fixture files" for my plugs.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to run python -m devtools.dump_devinfo on my RPi 4 with: HA OS 17.2 and HA Core 2026.4.4. I have the Terminal App installed and thought it'd just be as easy as copy and paste...
Tried some googling but to no avail... Scratching my head here. Please help saving what's left of my hair! 😉
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%
Ask for more info in https://discord.com/channels/330944238910963714/1284966540617449515 but this... Why NOT to buy a PI to run Home Assistant
Hi, have a question about OHF-Voice and custom sentences, is there an appropriate channel?
TY!
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
#1284966617670881350 with the "Zigbee" tag.
cause it seems clear there's a deeper problem or misunderstanding on my part about how this is supposed to work
are there no chat channels for help then?
only like, forums or whatever
No. Only forum channels.
ok thanks, post is here https://discord.com/channels/330944238910963714/1501714400522801356
idk if here is the best place to ask, but I'm having some trouble with a python script using blinkpy (which the github says was written explicitly to help with Blink camera integrations with HA), and I could use someone to hold my hand a bit with what I'm doing wrong. is there a place here for that?
If you are just using the library outside home assistant then you are probably better off asking in an issue on the Library Repo.

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.
Look in the supervisor logs for some info. If want more help then start a thread in #1284966582375813201.

Hey 🙂 I just got on here. I'm looking for a channel where I can find pyscript/python scripting support
no just running scripts through pyscript and generally wrap my head around how all this done in HA.

Since 2026.5 the battery indicators on my Overview dashboard have been gone, and I'm not sure if this was an intended change or something about my configuration

Hello, I would like to know whether the price of the Home Assistant Green is expected to increase again. It is currently €200, while it was around €100 three months ago.
Thank you in advance.
Yes.
How much do you think it could increase, and do you think the price could go down again by 2027?
It will depend on the cost to Nabu Casa. You could email them and ask for more details at hello@nabucasa.com but the hardware market is so volatile they may not be able to tell you much.
And #1284966353798697001 -> Green for more

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.

But they have achieved to see dashboards in old otherwise unsupported ipad2, and thats what i want to achieve too. I just need some help setting up and adjusting the setup on HA host, and i dont know which channel i should ask this

I have a watch that I download health (step/sleep) data from once per day, it comes in 10-minute segments. Where can I ask for help importing this past data into Home Assistant?
Importing it in what exactly? Does it have an integration?
I'm actually rethinking the requirements...and I just had an idea...
Sorry for wasting your time
It would be possible to process csv files for example. But HA does not support importing historical data.
Maybe something like Grafana can do that.
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.
I don't know what channel I should ask this in, but I want a web based terminal that can scroll so I can see the output of commands
what commands? ssh?
Does the command make a difference?
I’m currently trying to use the Advanced Web Terminal thingy, and run a ha command, and I can’t scroll up to see it all
I'll post there, but I'm not quite sure that's the answer to my question
Also, my HAOS install has two network interfaces. I need to change which one is the default
I’ve got Home Assistant running on a VM in Proxmox, it’s connected via a private LAN (10.10.10/24) separate from my WiFi (192.168.178/24) where my IoT devices (HomeKit, Matter) are. This LAN is enabled by a fw (OPNsense 192.168.178.3); having issues discovering any of my IoT stuff; where should I raise this?

How do I use my phone (preferably inside HA App) or any device that has microphone, talk to that microphone and let it play my voice over the ceiling speaker.

Can someone pointed me to the right direction on which channel I should post this?
I don't think, HA supports that yet.
where would i go for support with a virtual box install
alr thanks. how long does it usually take to get a reply
we're all volunteers. depends if anyone knows the answer
you're free to look at other posts
since updating to last version, this script no longer play to all speakers at the same time, now it plays one by one. Where shd I post this?

- The frontend (UI) - for cards and display issues
- The Supervisor
- HAOS

If you think an upgrade broke something then:
- Downgrade to the previous version to check if it works correctly there
- If it does then change the
