I was pretty sure that ubuntu server comes with it. You can also use vi or something else. Remote VS Code, for example.
cant install any addons on core version i try this is why think about buy rasbery pi 4
?
you can get any addon running in docker anyways. way to go, maybe not ubuntu but yeah it does the job too
You don't need a pi to run HAOS: https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/
i dont have add-ons menu in settings
We are aware of that.
and i search how to change port in config and need editor for it in HA but cant install
We are going in circles. You don't need HA or addons to edit a configuration file: <#general-archived message>
where config file ?
https://prnt.sc/YR0hvlKpjvmW
#general-archived message
configuration.yaml: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/
in config file only 8 lines
Should we have a sensors.yaml file?
i try ediit http file but port not changed
What did you add/change/do? You're making it very hard to help you.
i try change port and search metod to edit port. you say docker ? but in any manuals no info how to change it using docker.
I had a brain fart and edited it. HA recommends host networking mode so you're not settings ports via docker.
No. Follow this: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/http/
thx
If I am trying to add a template to some sensors, do I add that to the sensors.yaml (It doesn't exist for me)
The system cannot restart because the configuration is not valid: Integration error: server_port - Integration 'server_port' not found.
i add line from link http: and server port: in first 2 line config file
Just share your config file
Please use a code share site to share code or logs, for example:
- https://dpaste.org/ (select YAML for the language, and consider picking a longer expiry)
- http://pastie.org/ (select YAML for the language)
- https://paste.debian.net/ (you guessed it, select YAML as the language)
Please don't use Pastebin, since it can randomly add spaces to the main view. Please also don't share text as images since it makes it harder for people to help you. Remember that others may have colour blindness, impaired vision, etc.
I can't judge if it's indented correctly (which it doesn't seem to be) if you don't use code blocks or a share site. See bot message above your post.
i give up. soon go sleep.
Would I just past this in the configuration.yaml?
- platform: template
sensors:
livingroom_lights_of_count:
friendly_name: 'livingroom lights of count'
unique_id: livingroom_lights_of_count
value_template: >
{{ expand(area_entities('Livingroom'))
| selectattr('domain', 'in', ['light'])
| selectattr('state', 'eq', 'on')
| rejectattr('object_id', 'search', 'segment')
| list | count
}}
when you say "after offset (optional)" and you put a number
is the number for seconds or minutes?
When making baclups, do zigbee devices also go with it? And only with the same coordinator, or?
What about hacs and its installations?
Hi, I'm trying to make a button card on lovelace such that after each press it switches to a different Scene (amongst 4 predefined ones I have setup). I've made the card with the single button, but how do I integrate the iteration logic between scenes in there?
@void maple this is my config file
What am I doing wrong?
I copied the template from the testing area. It works in the testing area, but not in the configuration.yaml file.
it does nto work like that
you cant just put it in configuration.yaml
Idk what to do then
Home-assistant is excruciatingly complicated for simple things. I should be able to create a new entity with it's own yaml configuration, but that doesn't seem possible.
Can you walk me through where to put the config? I read through the documentation, but it doesn't say anything about where the configuration is supposed to go.
Unless I missed it
Not at my PC right now but I believe the syntax is wrong. Did you try the check config button and reloaded templates or restarted HA?
Yeah the check config fails
most people use like templates.yaml and point to it in the configuration.yaml file
But templates.yaml doesn't exist
template: !include templates.yaml
you add that to your configuration.yaml at the top and then create the file
Where do I put the templates.yaml then
inside /config same folder all your other yaml files are in such as configuration.yaml
are you using haos?
There are yaml files not in the root golder that's why I'm asking
you can download the vscode addon and do it right from home assistant with pretty colors
I have the official docker image
Yeah I'll just edit the files
I wish the templates.yaml got generated even if there's nothing in it
maybe it does tbh
it's complicated for simple things and simple for complicated things. and honestly it's gotten a lot better. templates and jinja are always gonna be advanced tho
It doesn't, I had to make the file
btw
i repasted your configuration.yaml to dpaste^
so you are making a template sensor
so you'll probably want to put that in sensors.yaml lmfao
Yeah I did that already

sensor: !include sensors.yaml
Wait so I shouldn't use templates.yaml?
this is just personal choice at this point
should be sensor: not sensors: right?
Does it matter?
It did, it is fixed!
Okay now next problem, polling time is too slow in HA
I need it to poll once every 10 seconds, not once every 60 seconds. Idk who made this integration, but it's just not useful as it is.
apc upsd?
Yup
it's basically abandoned i think
I should be able to change the polling frequency using yaml configuration right
In sensors.yaml or something
https://github.com/korylprince/hassio-apcupsd/tree/master/apcupsd_net i was thinking of this
i'm not actually sure about this
Question: How do I expose the motion sensor for the 2020 Nest Thermostat?
Ok I did what this said and it's erroring out
Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: sequence entries are not allowed here in "/config/automations.yaml", line 8, column 12
@hoary zephyr I converted your message into a file since it's above 15 lines :+1:
Are there any actual uses for Home Assistant?
I only use Google Home
Like I have the script editor and that and it works for some crap
Home Assistant works better for a lot of things. Its super configurable too.
My UPS can't interface with my Google home at all, for example.
Neither can my X10 system
Next project is getting my x10 system to interface with HA
@void maple so here's my yaml file
It doesn't like my formatting I think
Ok I think I fixed it, but it's not updating still
Also how do I add a unique ID to the sensor? Why isn't one generated for it if there isn't an ID?
Also, the wattage detected is completely different from what is actually being used
It's a little more than half
Your calculation might be off but that's something for #templates-archived or #automations-archived to ponder
Which one
I'll go there
Also how do I add the UPS wattage to the energy consumption graph?
It has to match certain criteria: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/energy/electricity-grid/#manual-integration
Probably outdated (I don't really use the energy dashboard much) but:
- <#energy-archived message>
- <#energy-archived message>
- <#energy-archived message>
If that doesn't work ask the folks in #energy-archived.
My automation is updating on the 5th second of every minute, not every 5 seconds.
I did something wrong
Time pattern seconds 5
That should trigger every 5 seconds, right?
If I add Home Assistant to Google Home, can I limit it so that the devices already added to Home don't get added again?
You can manage the devices in the Google home app
That's not a problem with homeassistant
This app is more of an alternative to google home, from my understanding
You'll need to add your devices to both
Yup that fixed it thanks!
How do I give an entity a unique ID?
This entity ('sensor.ups_load_2') does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI. See the documentation for more detail.
There's no example in that documentation.
`Invalid config for [template]: [entity id] is an invalid option for [template]. Check: template->sensor->0->entity id. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 15).
`
So it says in the documentation to use entity id, but that's an invalid option? Wtf?
So I used unique_id and that works where the documentation says to use entity_id
Guys, is this how unmaintained the whole project is?
Everything seems hodgepodged together and out of date :/
I thought this was something that was more or less up to date and easy to use
The template sensor documentation says nothing about entity_id, and certainly not entity id with the space as your error message suggests
It actually does say entity id
There's no example, so all the info on that page is without context.
then you are looking at something that isn't the template sensor documentation at https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/ which I was referring to
I clicked the link in home-assistant
It took me to the wrong page, then?
Most of the examples on that page that you linked don't have a unique_id, so I missed it :(
And there's no example of it below the definition.
That page explains unique and entity IDs generally, but yes, you need to find the correct page for the particular integration for your entity to get examples. The modularity of the system does kinda require that. Unique IDs are something that users don't often have to mess with directly, only template stuff really
There's a much better way to do this. Have information about it all, and then have an example at the bottom with everything used correctly. Every explained item and ones that are required for it all to work, and it must be copy/pastable so anyone can copy it into their file and the examples just work.
Basically, you're in somewhat advanced territory with templates, mostly. usually that unique ID warning can be ignored anyway in my experience, but now you know how to make it go away
I needed to be able to access the configuration
Without a unique ID, you can't zone anything in the app
I can't add the total watts of my ups to the living room
I fixed it, and it's in the living room, but the docs aren't well put together. I had to guess what the field should be called.
I got it added, thatnks to the folks in #energy-archived :D
Now I gotta figure out why my wattage is off by about 20%
does anyone know why everything is so slow to load? it takes minutes to open the app, sometimes it gives me error 1004, when i try to turn on a bulb it will take a lot before it happens
when i go to automation and click one it takes a lot to show the actions and all, also for saving changes it takes a lot
why?
App related questions are best asked in #android-archived or #ios_and_mac-archived
Check your CPU and memory use.
can i check it through home assistant?
or do i need to go and look in my mac which has the server?
does it work for mac too? i am using the virtual box for the server
Should do.
hi does anyone know when the new 2023.11.3 release will take place?
No, nobody knows
You can watch https://github.com/home-assistant/core/milestone/631 to see what's going on
is there a list of CE/FCC certified zigbee products? im looking for a dimmer module but don't want a chinese one that'll set my house on fire
Moes module looks good but I've read a reddit thread that they only have a CE certification for radio communication and not for fire safety
There's no list like that I know of, but start by not buying Tuya stuff 😄
is it possible to make apple home app's "last one leave home" or "first one arrive home" condition to trigger a virtual homeassistant device state change? I want to make some automation in homeassistant using apple's "last one leave home" or "first one arrive home" condition.
Try starting in safe mode.
sonoff's fine right?
but yeah I'm trying to keep my distance away from Tuya lol
Mostly ... maybe
does anyone know if it's possible to make an H6159 govee led strip fade on and off via the govee api? I've got an aqara p1 and node red sending on and off commands but they are instant and glaring.
the transition property seems to be completely ignored
Hello, I've tried to register on HA, they sent a email verification prompt to my email. I went to retrieve this and my window on my phone with the screen where I needed to add the code, had disappeared. I now have no way to resend the verification. Can anyone suggest anything I can do, please.
Ha cloud
Then #cloud-archived can help you
I have a few shelly devices, and sometimes they don't respond to HA commands unless I really nudge them. For instance, I often have to set a TRV a few times in HA before it finally wakes up and sets the temperature. This is using the shelly integration. Has anyone had more luck using mqtt?
Hi i have a question: i want to file a bug report/ feature request
the quick reload is only available to the 'owner' but i have setup my owner as a local only backup account.
so my main account (who is an admin) doesn't have access to this feature.
Is this a bug or intended atm? and where can i file this frontend issues or core issues
That'd be a frontend issue
how do i do that?
got a simple question... is it worth to monitor 3-phase energy circuits (3 side clamps with Emporia Vue) if it's used like once a year or less?
its literally taking forever to restart :/
Do you have a recent backup you can restore to a freshly reinstalled system?
no, i dont think so
personally i never done a backup
idk if it does it byitself
ok i was able to add the sensor code in configuration yaml
now should i restart home assistant in safe mode or noral restart?
i got some problems connecting a servo on a pi to home assistant what would be the best channel to ask for help?
#integrations-archived generally, unless you're using one named in the topic there
its saying i am using only 47% of memory
Hi, i have a question about a sonof zigbee key.
I use a sonof zigbee key with ZHA, i connected a radiator head, but i can't change the target temperature on HA.
I ask myself if the sonof key has the right to wright.
do you know how i can check that?
You should do regular backups and make sure a copy gets sent somewhere off the machine. You can automate backup creation, there are plenty of add-ons for uploading a copy somewhere if you're on haos, and if you're on VM or Docker there are tons of OS level tools you can use.
Otherwise if something gets super busted you're gonna be stuck trying to recreate everything from scratch from memory and that's not fun, trust me.
#zigbee-archived can help with that.
thanks
but what should i do now?
do you think maybe just restarting the server/pc will help?
Safe mode didn't help? Then it is not a misbehaving 3rd party integration. Only using 47% memory (assuming this is not increasing) rules out an infinite loop issue. What hardware are you running on?
so many automtions are fucked right now, they do stuff they shouldnt do
no everything was still slow in safe mode too
Like...?
i am using virtual box on a old mac mini
for example i have that when tv turns on the leds behind will turn on, but after using the tv a bit the leds will turn off randomly and turn back on when they want to
a week ago i had power outage and i had to restart pc and server, and everything was fine,i come back home this weekend and now everything is so slow
If I remember correctly there's an obscure issue with old Mac minis. That should only affect time triggers though. It does sound like you may have suffered some sort of corruption. What do your logs report? Settings -> system -> logs.
if i go in the dashboard of home assistant and turn off a light, the light will take forever to turn off or it would even do that
i see a lot of warnings and errors
you want me to send it?
Use a code sharing site.
Please use a code share site to share code or logs, for example:
- https://dpaste.org/ (select YAML for the language, and consider picking a longer expiry)

Please don't use Pastebin, since it can randomly add spaces to the main view. Please also don't share text as images since it makes it harder for people to help you. Remember that others may have colour blindness, impaired vision, etc.
oh welp, its taking forever even to download the logs
Check your VM disk use too.
it says its at 1gb memory and 20% processor
Heavy disk I/O can do that too
if i go to settings --> hardware it doesnt tell me the disk
just those two
does this work?
i cant download them, so i copied them and put them in the link
that would be cool i do have an Mycloud storage that is connected to home assistant, maybe i could make a folder and put all the backups there?
The errors and warnings in that log are likely due to the slow system issue rather than the cause. Check the host and supervisor logs as well (dropdown select at the top right of the logs page).
Has anyone ever bought this kettle? If so, is it configurable with HA?

There's a list of automated backup options here: https://www.home-assistant.io/common-tasks/os/#copying-your-backups-to-another-location

Hi. i need to reinstall my HA but i dont want to start all over with my Z2M 50 + devices how do i save a backup that i can import in to the new instalation ? i tried last time i reinstalled HA but it did not work. any ideas ?
You'll want the files from the Z2M config folder
and that is all i need ?
Can't speak for how the add-on does stuff, but for Z2M itself, yes
🙂 ill try
I'm in the US. Thinking about starting to swap out a bunch of existing light switches in my house to make it a little smarter... I've got a HUSBZB-1 already, and it's connected to a couple of things, but I'm trying to unpack the whole ZigBee vs Z-Wave vs Matter thing, and what I should go with moving forward if I'm going to start swapping everything out.
Looking for local only, WiFi required is fine, but don't want a cloud service to be a requirement. Any suggestions on what to start with?
Don't start with Matter
Zigbee vs Z-Wave is mostly a matter of budget vs goals
Zigbee is cheaper, and standards are mostly ignored. Z-Wave stuff all works together without drama, but costs more.
Got it... as far as I can see there's not a lot of price difference... maybe Leviton Zigbee stuff is a little cheaper, but I've seen Z-Wave be just as cheap
Then... you're looking at the expensive stuff only
I can get Zigbee door/window sensors for under £10, and Z-Wave ones cost £30+
I don't know where to ask, is there a ML based audio anomaly detection ?integration? ?addon? ???
eg, I record a bunch of sample of normal stuff, and train it, and it alerts when there's something different
Not currently, no - and I'm not aware of anybody working on one (in HA)
Hello, I need a database for my home assistant and can someone tell me if it is possible to install the database on Dell Wyse 3030 so that I can also create a network drive? I would like to be able to access the disk wherever I am. And for the database in homeassistant to work.
What do you mean?
I have HomeAssistant on Dell Wyse 3030 16GB / 4GB RAM for the Assistant, it is completely enough for me. But I intend to use the database to monitor the vehicle's GPS, which will consume some space, and I also want to create my own private network drive. How could I install the database and access to the network drive, because once I create a network drive I will be able to save some things such as recordings from homeassistant on the network drive. What do you recommend doing at this point? To install a database that will work with homeassistat (I think mariadb) and a network drive on the same terminal
Databases have nothing to do with network drives
Databases also don't monitor anything, they just store data
So, you'd start by installing something like Debian on that computer, or some NAS platform
Yes, I know it has nothing to do with it, but the database needs disk space, right? I am planning to add a disk, e.g. 1TB, to the Dell Wyse 3030 and store data from the homeassistant database on 100GB, and, for example, have access to the rest of my private files.
Honestly, don't move HA's database there, it's not worth it
Could it be Ubuntu?
But I don't want to transfer homeassistant data to a new server, I want to create a database so that I can monitor, for example, my GPS driving history using the traccar add-on
Sure, it can be Ubuntu if you don't like a stable server OS
Okay, so install Debian on the new disk. I'll start with this. I'll create a thread, okay? I won't have the hard drive until Wednesday, and I'll start installing everything on the new drive.
And I have one more question, I'm replacing the hard drive with a larger external one and I'll simply use an mSATA to SATA adapter. Can I also add a USB hard drive? Then I could have 2TB
Sorry
Sure, you can add USB drives, or add a second internal drive is there's room
The curious person in me is wondering why type of DB is taking up so much space.... we have a sql database in one of th electronic health records I work with that has like 10 years of scanned images in it for 1000's of folks and its big but not HUGE
@fervent abyss hey tom, i just restarted home assistant on my mac now everything looks very fluid.
so idk what could have happen
yeah everything seems normal now..
Those records aren't having updates made to them every second of every day (or more often)
@merry sage the image table no... the other tables yes, but my comment was more about size for a home user(shrug)
hey everyone, just got on the discord, hopefully I can contribute a bit more than I ask..
Heeey all! 🙂 I am kinda new to HA so sorry if this is a dumb question:
I have a few Zigbee thermostats (dunno if thats the right english word for it - the ones that control the heating directly on the radiator with a valve) with integrated temperature sensors. Now i got external temperature sensor cause the integrated ones are often kinda far off from the actual room temp. How can I change that the sensor that the thermostats use are the external ones?
I hope someone understands what I mean and is eager to help me 🙂
That depends entirely on the make and model of those TRVs
that being said, I'm running haos in vmware workstation 17 and it doesn't seem like open-vm-tools is working.. i ran ps ax|grep vmware to see if they were running and it did come back with one vmware result that was running, so I'm assuming that they're installed and running.. I've done a bunch of google searches and have seen that open-vm-tools is supposedly installed during the buildroot process that builds the vm itself.. but the vm isn't acting like they're installed. i can't suspend the guest vm, and whenever i'm on the command line in the vm, it grabs my mouse/keyboard and I have to ctrl-alt to give them back to the host machine.. any thoughts?
and if this is the wrong channel for a question like that, please let me know and point me to the right one. thanks!
#installation-archived can help - but you had to use the right image
#zigbee-archived can help if you tell them whether you use ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT
tyvm 🙂
great, thanks. I'll try them over there.
@fervent abyss sorry for the ping again, but for some reasons its already slowing down again
Only the app or via browser as well?
also web
Install the glances addon and check your resource usage
my cpu and memory usage of the pc?
the one with ha installed
I don't know how you run HA. I just assume HAOS
yeah i used sistemmonitor
it says i am using only 30% memory
And what about the CPU usage?
i have disk usage that is at 25%
let me see if i can add the processor 💀
I'm trying to setup the Netgear integration and this happens: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1175159172157931590/1176285636475486218/KgMIpaz.png
Can you not install the glances addon or are you not running HAOS? Shows a lot more info.
well its hard for me to do anything in home assistant as now its sooo slow
and sometimes it doesnt even load stuff
i just got this for example: Supervisor
Unable to fetch add-on info to start Ingress
i am trying to open studio code so i can add the processor usage and temperature
even opening the settings menu takes years

asked there
bruh
ok processor is at 14% uses
esphome not talking to internet something more a problem?
what do you use for weather sensor?
i want to create an automation that checks if it is raining
i have ecobee which exposes a weather sensor
not sure if there is a better option
OpenWeatherMap 😄
@tacit lark I converted your message into a file since it's above 15 lines :+1:

I'm having trouble getting my "trusted_networks" config working again. I'm not sure when it broke, but it's never been particularly reliable.
My desired UX is pretty simple: I want people on the guest network to be automatically logged in with the guest user. Anyone on the main network needs to authenticate with a username/password.
My guest network has an ip range of 192.168.84.0/24.
My main network has an ip range of 192.168.86.0/24.
My attempted configuration.yaml block is below.
When I leave that "trusted networks" block in and restart, my HA install goes into recovery mode. In the logs, it says Invalid configuration for auth provider trusted_networks: extra keys not allowed, along with a similar error for the trusted_users block. I've tried these blocks both with and without quotes for the IP ranges and user IDs.
When I comment it out, HA starts properly. Nothing on Google. Any ideas what's going on here?
homeassistant:
auth_providers:
- type: trusted_networks
trusted_networks: "192.168.84.2/24"
trusted_users:
192.168.84.2/24: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (hex user ID)"
allow_bypass_login: true
- type: homeassistant
packages: !include_dir_named packages
customize: !include customize.yaml
is it free?
trusted_networks should be an array. You've got it as a string.
I tried that as well
I tried trusted users as an array as well
The documentation has your answer... the config you posted is completely wrong
Can I get suggestions on an RF 915mHz bridge/hub I can run directly through Home Assistant that I can connect a bunch of contact sensors to?
Basically, I (and some other friends who are trying to switch from cloud dependency to local control) have a couple of dozen Wyze Contact sensors (both the v1 and v2 sensors). They run on 915mHz RF. Other people have connected them to Home Assistant directly by plugging the old Wyze Bridge directly into their HA server, instead of the back of a Wyze Camera. Is there a similar affordable 915mHz RF bridge we can get that will allow us to pair our old Wyze sensors to Home Assistant directly/locally instead of leaving them stuck on cloud dependency and no Home Assistant? I'll appreciate any suggestions/links.
using a generic_thermostat, I notice that if the swtich goes offline, when it comes back, HA does not set it to correct state. it just waits fo the generic_thermostat to call for some change. any way around this?
Greetings, This might be controversial but does anyone have a comment about how HA compares with Sonoff iHost? I have a customer that wants to use iHost. Might not be such a problem if I put more smarts into NodeRed, but I din't think they are seeing the big picture.
I'm not even sure where to ask this, integrating to HA, Roborox or Dreamtech...
The documentation is very unclear imo, I think the issue is that CIDR ranges need arrays for the users and I happened to not try that exact combination of quoting things and using arrays vs strings. That's not made clear anywhere though; there should really be some clear typing on these yaml files, that should be in the documentation, and it should be checked in the "yaml check" button
trusted_networks list REQUIRED
trusted_users map (optional)
You can also assign which users are available to select when user access login page from certain IP address or network.
USER_ID list | string (optional)
List of user ids available to select on this IP address or network.
Maybe it helps I’m a programmer, but that documentation is crystal clear to me… editing config files is definitely not meant to be super user friendly
The very first thing I pointed to was that the issue was trusted networks… your trusted users values were fine
I have an esp32 question where is the best room to ask?/
Oh I very much appreciate your help! You led me to the issue, sorry if I didn't express my gratitude. That being said, the docs say, as you pointed out, USER_ID list | string (optional) -- that's not actually the type as far as I can tell: it's a string if and only if it's NOT a CIDR range; it's a list if and only if it is a CIDR range. And I'm rusty on yaml and its weird quotes etc so if I tried that with quotes maybe that was the issue? But certainly I did try the trusted_networks as an array several times
is it ESPHome related?
yep
Also, this might reflect more poorly on me than on the docs, but I am as well (professionally, for years) ;P
join our server, thats the best place for help
Where is that?
Yeah, docs written by people who wrote the feature... it's a common problem of assumed knowledge 🙂
can anyone confirm that emulated_kasa is working? Ive been struggling to get it to work. Enabled debug. Tried testing with the kasa python script and getting timeout. Seems to be listening on udp port 9999.
Has anyone else ran into an issue where a Honeywell T6 Zwave thermostat does not run randomly when outside the set range with mode set to heat/cool?
like current range is set to 70-74 auto, but it got down to 68 before i forced it on by setting it to heat
randomly as it for most of the day is follows the range, heating if its below, cooling if its above, but sometimes it just doesnt trigger. Happens both for cooling and heating
Hey all, Has anyone else ran into an issue with the Energy Dashboard randomly stop logging?
#energy-archived can help there
What does tuya zigbee light switch mean?
Does it mean that it would work with tuya or zigbee?
Well, the brand is Tuya, the protocol is Zigbee
Hint, when you see Tuya the correct response is usually hell no
The brand is moes
MOES Tuya ZigBee Smart Light Switch
US Push Button Wall Switch Work With Alexa
So it isn't good even though it has zigbee?
Moes stuff usually isn't crap... but #zigbee-archived could tell you more (assuming anybody has that one)
I'm currently using smart life switches so it probably will be better than those
I just realized yesterday that I have tuya things in my house. I never guessed, because they've been working for months.
The moes one is the only brand that I could find here in my country, amazon USA to here usually takes 2-3months😂
Anyone else wake up and find their ha instance dead and the supervisor reporting “permission denied”?
Not seen any other reports of that
nope
Not sure where to go for this, but apparently, for 3 days my InfluxDB has not been recording any data.
It looks like InfluxDB is running, and I don't get any errors, but no data is being logged. Any tips on troubleshooting?
Ah, now I find something in the log:
@visual sand I converted your message into a file since it's above 15 lines :+1:
Hmm. Given I’m 500 miles away from it, guess there’s nothing to do since the supervisor seems to just randomly have stopped working.
As I said, I didn't see it before, and suddenly it pops up 😄
Ah yeah, let me check github. Thanks
There is!! Thanks. So stupid, should be the first place to look.
There's no way to get the data from the last 2 days into Ingress now right, other than a very manual query from MariaDB over to Ingress?
I have integrated a moes fingerbot via zigbee2mqtt and it works fine! Just ignore everything tuya about it 😊
Im trying to add HA to my sonoff nspanel pro, but my device isnt coming up in adb and i cant get the google usb drivers installed. can anyone help?
i have some ghost entities that i believe i have deleted, but still the energy dashboard sees them. if i just browse in developer mode and states, i don't see them
clear your cache and refresh the page
the statistics are still in the database even after you delete the entity.
if you want them gone, go to developer-tools/statistics, and there will be a button to purge them from the database
Running HA in docker and I accidentally overwrote my password in my password manager with my NR password because it's the same IP address. Is there a way I can reset my password for HA without reseting the environment?
ah, thanks, that solved it 🙂
TIL, history doesn't behave that way
or maybe it does and I haven't looked in a while
Ok, found a way...lucky for me my wife is an admin so I added a new account that way with admin access
I love this article! Every time I talk to people about smart homes I have to explain this, so hopefully this gets more traction and more normies start to understand the concerns: https://www.theverge.com/23970749/smart-home-broken-policy-fixes
Honestly keeping things local is be best solution, I REALLY wish hubitat was better then it is, I transitioned from Smart Things to Hubitat to now HA, Hubitat is a great idea just the implimentation and speed leaves a lot to be desired
Is Hubtitat basically a more user-friendly version of HA (in theory)?
well, it's a "costs money" version of HA with the same ideals
well not version, but competitor
Honestly, I wouldn't say its more user friendly
And the money thing, its kinda meh, when you buy the dongles for HA and a PI or whatever hardware platform you choose I think its pretty compareable. I just don't like the interface and some of the limitations of the hardware
I will say for me I went some really old harware to a VM on an over powered unraid machine so user experience maybe different if running on lower power devices
Hello people! I'm using HA OS on a Raspi and ssh+Git to back up my config files. After restoring from a backup, as it usually happens to me, I have managed to completely mess my local git repo, and could really use a local mergetool, however, HA OS seems to have nothing. Someone has any idea what I could do to resolve the merge conflicts?
That suggests you back up stuff that should not necessarily be backed up if you can't overwrite it with your remote copy
But really all you would need to resolve it is git I think?
I do have a local copy of the files I made before the backup. The olde "remove everything and start again" is an option, but I'm striving to do better.
Can't be the first idiot that gets his fingers chewed with git in HA OS
At least one of the SSH add-ons allows you to use apk to install software
(that'll vanish when the add-on updates or is rebuilt)
Well, what do you know. I happen to be using that ssh add-on! Thank you!. I got stuck in the "HA OS has not package manager" mantra .
Hello, I seem to have a problem with running my code in Homeassistant core. I am trying to update the Vasttrafik integration, but homeassistant won't run my latest code but keeps running an older version of the code. I updated the PLATFORM_SCHEMA to remove two of the required fields, but when I run it, it keeps throwing me this error
ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Invalid config for [sensor.vasttrafik]: required key not provided @ data['key']. Got None
required key not provided @ data['secret'].
which shouldn't be there considering I removed the lines that made that error. Am I missing something here? My individual functions seem to work but as a whole, there's these issues. I also deleted the config/ dir and made a new one but still no luck.
Can someone please help me with this?
HA keeps crashing on me. Im keeping the error of "Error while loading page" on all kinds of options. Any idea? Hardware is Pi4b with SSD on USB boot.
#devs_core-archived can help you if you'e developing integrations
What's in the log file?
I've set up a frient electricity impulse sensor to monitor the electricity usage of the house, all seems to be working correctly, our electricity is on a prepayment meter though, so what I'd like to do is set up a some way to easily input when I recharge my balance, and then have it deduct from that to show what our current balance is.
I'm assuming I need to use some sort of helper to achieve this, right?
how would ya'll make this smart enough for HA? does bluetooth and I has two LINES in (aux 3.5 and composite)
maybe an AMP-LESS arylic?
Hi! Where would I find the value a lock code gives when unlocking a door via KeyMaster? I'm trying to set up an automation based on a certain code being used
The statement isn't very clear to me. Are you asking what code was entered when someone physically unlocks the door on the keypad? I don't know what it means "unlocking via KeyMaster", I thought that just managed the keys.
No I want to know what value it sends to HA by using that specific code slot from KeyMaster. So when code slot 1 is used I want it to trigger the lights and turn off detect on the camera.
Have you taken a look at this? https://github.com/FutureTense/keymaster/wiki/(Advanced)-Create-your-own-automations-based-on-lock-state-changes
An event is sent w/ the code_slot
https://github.com/FutureTense/keymaster/wiki/Notification-Example-Script this is what i had to setup to get user code notifications working @sterile topaz
i have a script called "keymaster_frontdoor_manual_notify and the yaml for the script is: ```yaml
sequence:
- service: notify.mobile_app_brandons_iphone
data:
title: "{{ title }}"
message: "{{ message }}"
mode: parallel
max: 10
you'll also have to make sure "input_boolean.frontdoor_lock_notifications" is toggled on in the keymaster dashboard view (it's the second badge at the top next to name)
@late tartan hey I appreciate this! I have that exact script already, I'm more trying to figure out how to use it as a trigger
Did you see the link I posted? 🤔

Looking at the stable.json for supervisor it says that 2023.11.3 is the latest stable version. I see that 11.4 is on beta. My system says that unless I update I am running an unsupported system. Not sure if this is correct?
So I bought this Zigbee switch, but didn't realize that the metal plate surrounding it would be an issue for the location I wanted it to go. Are there any smaller or thinner metal bracket zigbee switches?

In the above linked album, I have the switch installed but as you can see, it's flush with the box since the edges are indented
Any one able to help with SSL issues? I have duckdns and NGINX and I can't connect to my duckDNS URL due to SSL issues on both my computer and mobile through the app. I reset my router and I think it was working fine before that. I port forwarded my HA addy with 443 and 8123 internal. I restarted home assistant, duckdns, and nginx multiple times. The log for duckdns says my SSL is valid until Jan 17 2024.
Any other ideas I can try?
New to HA and I am tempted to purchase the HA cloud to support the community and also have Remote access. I have read the privacy report on the HA cloud website and wondering how different HA is from other cloud based smart home services?
My understanding is that, the communication between your HA local instance and cloud is encrypted which can only be decrypted by the local HA instance as they generate and own certs? Is there anything else that is worth noting?
They are privacy focused and they have a main menu item highlighting their Privacy view. Additionally, they also point out in the security section how things work and how you can detect things. I signed up for them. https://www.nabucasa.com/config/remote/#security
I need help, I'm using an arduino mega with an ethernet shield and it worked fine with my home assistant until today when my entities dissappeared and in the logs it says it found no way to the arduino ip
Hi, need help, for Developer Tools > States, whatever changes I made is not permanent, is there a way to make it permanent
This is regarding a fan I have with preset modes and I will want to remove the preset modes
You have to use service calls to actually do anything.
Did you edit any yaml files? I had some of my stuff disappear because I messed up a yaml file.
No
I wasn't even on the app when it disappeared
It might be an ip issue but I'm not home so I can't check it
In the logs it does say "no route to 192.168.1.145" which is the ip of the device
New to HA and I am tempted to purchase
i have a h-a installation that i have been running for years. i never had default_config enabled, is it safe to just enable it now?
Yes
Soooo, I'm guessing something I'd grown fond of and assumed to be a feature was in fact a bug 😅
Until recently, the new favicons for Home Assistant were different between local and nabu casa. The nabucasa url presented a favicon with a white tree, whilst the local version had a transparent one. I'd assumed this was to make it clear at a glance which tab was the local one and which the cloud one. I really appreciated this difference and miss it now it's fixed 🥲
https://imgur.com/a/eejjG4D
wrong chat 😛
how do you group multiple type of entities? like lights, switches, tv so i can turn on and off an entire room
using old-school groups via yaml. No you can't use the UI before you ask.
cool, is there anything i need to watch out for?
i mean like are certain things incompatible like does it need to have an on/off state or does it just need to be able to toggle
it can be anything, just keep in mind homeassistant.turn_on isn't going to turn on a sensor
or any other item that can't be turned on
okay, thank you ill see what works and what doesnt
You want areas, not grorups
You're asking about #add-ons-archived ... you should ask there 😉
Small question, in the Database ,the table states is processed to statistics later ? Or in other words, in the UI, where can I see the data of states , is it the "Logbook" ?
states table is history
statistics table is statistics, and can only be seen from the stats card or the energy panel, or more info page
events table is logbook
Ok, that means, if i have a old entry this was named _2 by a bug from zigbee2mqtt, I have to migrate it on all tables 😦 ?
yep
ok thx
sure about it ? Maybe I not explained my issue full
I'm 100% sure
z2m creates each config entry w/ a unique_id
this allows you, the user, to change the entity_id at will and it will propogate to the rest of HA.
if z2m erroronously creates a bad entity_id, simply rename it and behavior will remain the same
if the bug in z2m was on the unique_id generation, then you'd have to do what you're doing.
otherwise, mqtt discovery handles all that for you and you can rename things to your hearts content
I have the same bug (with the _2 ) long time ago with ESPHome, after update the device, all entry_id get a _2 and after next release the changed back to normal. But in the UI I still see the old entry id as inactive),
yes, so that means your unique_id changed
yes, and I want to merge it , look here https://ibb.co/SBkgqSV
Already found this post https://community.home-assistant.io/t/merge-statistics-of-old-entity-to-new-entity/467816/23 but they only focus on the statistics
Hi. Could someone confirm that they have emulated_kasa working? Ive tried to set it up and it is listening on udp port 9999. A test using the kasa python scripts does not work. Sense also is not seeing them. Before I bang my head more I just want to make sure this is working for folks on fully upgraded hassio install.
Is there any place to get logs before the last reboot? Trying to find a cause to my supervisor crash yesterday.
I don't believe supervisor has a log history
Ok
if you aren't getting errors in the logs, I would assume it's working as long as the port is available on your network
@neon path I converted your message into a file since it's above 15 lines :+1:
@astral vault - I can not find anything in the logs either
You can page through journalctl "CONTAINER_NAME=hassio_supervisor" from the host if it hasn't been too long
netstat shows the ha install listening on port 9999 udp
what addon are you talkinga bout
I had it restored last night, so I’ll take a look and see. Thanks!
If you are talking to me. I am using the sense addon:
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/sense/
Which talks about the emulated_kasa in it:
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/emulated_kasa
it seems emulated_kasa is part of core.
ok sorry. 🙂 Just trying to make it work.
both of those are integations
I would not expect the sense integration would talk to the emulated kasa integration
it would not.
the emulated_kasa would talk to sense
but that is the part that is not working.
I was just adding context.
emulated kasa would emulate kasa devices, whatever kasa is
which is a TP-Link kasa device apparently
yes. 100% agree. that is not working for me following the instructions which is why i was trying to figure out if it might be broke in recent versions or if i am doing something wrong.
are you pointing sense at the IP of your home assistant?
its does not work that way.
sense scans the network for tp-link devices after you add the intergration
in sense
That would mean your router would need settings to allow that
othewise manually configure it if that's possible
right, but that only works if you have mdns turned on
scanning and discovery rely on your network to provide that info
if the scanning isn't working, it's likely your network
all the other tplink devices work.
otherwise point it at the IP of your home assisstant if you can manually configure it
my point is in the attachment above that i am testing against a working tplink device AND the hassio emulated_kasa and the emulated is not responding correctly if at all. I can not find anything in the logs.
I was hoping someone had it working and could confirm that yes it is 100% working for them. 🙂
its' used by less than 100 installations out of 200K+ that we know about
Huh. Looks like it just died. There is a log gap for when it wasn’t available, but it was responding to ash and ping.
your'e not going to find anyone who uses it unless you get lucky
outside that, if manually configuring the endpoint doesn't work, then Yes it would be the integration. But relying on 'auto discovery' may never work. It really depends on what the discovery process does on the sense side.
so, when in doubt, manually configure it.
otherwise you're just chasing things that may not be the actual problem.
Could drop the container filter or check out the homeassistant container to see if there are any other clues
Ok. Let me grab all logs and see if there is anything for that time period.
The fact the log starts in October is making this a fun process. 😂
use --since "2023-11-21" or whatever date
I just used —no-pager so I can get it all.
Logging ssh to file.
Nope. Still nothing. Last error was a stream issue with a camera. Next line is it booting.
Thanks. Ill keep poking at it.
when i adopt some esphome device, entity name doesnt contain the device name. if a device name is ps_office, then i expected the sensor name would be sensor.ps_office_light, instead i got sensor.light. is there anything i need to do additionally here?
Morning to you!
Was there a change recently on the default brightness behaviour of the homeassistant.turn_on service?
All automations using that service light up lights with like 25% brightness instead of the default "last value".
Any ideas?
From what I know, you might want to ask on the esphome discord, they will probably help you out faster
thanks.
tying it into HA? its BT sure, but my Hub that has the antenna isnt near the speaker. so im looking for creative ways to use it in HA.

Is there any way to bulk-process them rather than clicking each one?
I think you're betting might be a bit off
you can simply just ignore it
it's not hurting anything and the memory foot print would be small
but, no, there is no way to bulk process those
Since 2023.11.2 I am seeing a big increase in the frequency of seeing JS errors on a custom dashboard in the Android companion app (though not in desktop browser). At that point I can't refresh and the menu doesn't work, the only thing I can do is toss the app and relaunch it. These JS errors had basically vanished for the past two months. Some new fundamental thing I have to add to extra_module_url?
Hey, is it possible to connect my iphone to my amazon echo through bluetooth, but tell home assistant to do that?
Do switchbot bot can be used with the their keypad like their locks work
How do I expose the motion sensor on the Nest Hub for automations?
hey, is there a way to see a core update logs ? the latest update (23.11.3) has been running for 30min now and i don't dare to restart manually
ctrl+f5
it doesn't change anything, it still shows as updating, even in another browser
you can try to access your logs via SSH or if the UI is still available via the UI
Hi there, i have a switch with 3 gangs in it, how do I tell home assistant i need each gang in a different room. RN when i change one of them to a room, all three of them get moved there
you can't
If the switch exposes three different switch entites, you could assign those entities to different rooms.
yeah, for the last year or so entities can be assigned their own areas:
so if "a switch with 3 gangs in it" is a device with three entities, you can assign each entity to a different area
Can you also assign them multiple areas?
One area per entity
There's other stuff coming to address that, but I've no idea when that'll arrive (this year, next year, never)
Oh that is cool to hear
I'll take note of that. 🙈 I can see the reason behind needing to differentiate both, although I'd love if there is tighter integration between the app and the docs so that there is no need to differentiate between them.
Because I was looking into having areas like 1 story and in that multiple rooms
The original suggestion was for nested areas, but they were rejected at the time as being over-complicated
In this case it’s my home one vs my mother’s one that I manage remotely for her so I often have the two open. I’ve often wished I could change the favicons much like you can choose for a variety of app icons on iOS, where it doesn’t really have any benefit like it does here 😅
Hi guys, I have a problem with home assistant, if anyone who has the time to dedicate to me can contact me privately to help me out. Thank you
the problem is that I don't have the "additional components" section
That's a good use case 👍 Currently I think you can change it through browser-mod
Novice user. I have HA running on a Qnap. I have a pi4 8gb with a touchscreen that I am thinking of moving to. If I install the HA OS image, can I also run the front end on the same pi? I would like it to be a self contained device with the touchscreen. Also, would I be able to copy my config files over from the qnap, or will I need to rebuild everything?
Sorry if I ask a silly question. But what is Account Linking exactly? There is an upcoming maintenance, but because I don’t understand what HA means by Account Linking, I cannot really do an impact analysis for myself.
Is it, signing in on Nabu Casa Cloud? Is it only for new logins? Or is the entire link also inpacted in a way I cannot access my HA instance during that period or receive push notifications via cloud ?
is it normall that the root partition on HassOS has 0 size left?
HA doesnt start anymore after today's .3 update and i cannot find out why
i have tried restoring the snapshot from this morning and still doesnt start after that
so maybe the update itself is not at fault
(other partitions, particularly /mnt/data still have plenty of free space though)
I had issue like that previously, it was the backups that were being made before each update. I had to remove some of the old backups.
arghhh, i found the problem and its so random
Snort for some reason started randomly blocking some of the HA traffic: "ET INFO Observed File Hosting Service Domain (files .pythonhosted .org in TLS SNI)"
Hi, can someone please help me to understand this log message “WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.homekit] The bridge HASS Bridge 2 has entity media_player.android_tv_shield. For best performance, and to prevent unexpected unavailability, create and pair a separate HomeKit instance in accessory mode for this entity”
Don’t know what to do to fix this
Do you have any idea how can I find out why my HA container is restarting automatically every midnight? I have a supervised installation on synology
Do you have any other containers running any, nightly restarts
nothing, I have just those which came with the installation (I've followed Marius's guide)
and none of them have unexpected restarts just homeassistant
I didn't follow any guides, let me check synos container manager see if there is a seettign i didnt notice
I was wondering if anyone knows why a Modbus entity would be showing only as a state and not a number? It isn't showing as a graph as the other number based entities
I've been thinking about it too, but could not find any setting which could cause this behaviour
I have these: https://ibb.co/1zDCC9r
Check the logs from the CLI. Something like docker logs --since 48h homeassistant
don't see anything obvious, i run bazaar to restart my containers,
but HA isnt in that set
it doesn't show anything before the restart, the first entry is after the restart
whats the uptime of your nas? its not just syno being ... syno
if there is nothign in the docker log that suggest it didnt terminate, it was killed
6 days and 11 hours....
the Container Manager default log shows this: https://ibb.co/5xFsqPq
all your containers are just up for a day tho, it didnt just pull an update on syno
yes, because I did a clean install yesterday
check taskscheduler on syno
that's it, thank you Sir!!!!
no worries we have a similar setup I just found i have 2 HA containers in my setup lol
lol I have had a syno in my setup at home for like 12 years ... theres alot I forgot lol anyway .... im uk time for sleep ... work tomo
there is a script which was supposed to copy certificates from syno into hassio folders and restart ha
Derp
I've thought I've switched it off years ago
well, I've just updated to dsm 7 from dsm 6 a week ago
maybe the upgrade reenabled it?
Possible ...
anyway, thanks for you time, have a good night!
Hello, I have a problem with hass. After restarting it, it turn on all lights of my home xD Is it possible? Or I probably duck up with automations somewhere?
definitely possible
noticed a state changed from unavailable to detected when restarting hass.... I guess it is triggering the automation. I added a not condition to solve, it is correct?
condition:
- condition: not
conditions:- condition: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.kitchen_switch_light_input
state: unavailable
- condition: state
how do i control alexa devices from home assistant?
What do you mean by "control", and which devices?
i have some govee light strips that I can control scenes via alexa
but the govee integration i HA does not control scenes
you can't control devices connected to Alexa from HA
the only option you have is to use the Alexa Media Player custom component to send commands to Alexa
which is hacky, but possible
can I send a silent voice command?
I assume that it doesn't actually speak the command, but 🤷
🙂
Is there a good place that compiles deals for home automation stuff specifically? Like a r/buildapcsales for automation stuff

Hi. I’m having a problem with an entity becoming intermittently “unavailable “ (specifically the Generic Hygrostat). I’m not sure where the issue is coming from so not sure where to ask about or report the issue. I haven’t yet found anyone else reporting the generic hygrostat becoming “unavailable “. Has anyone got some guidance? Thanks.
I should say also. Generic hygrostat is the “Humidity “ card. For humidifiers and dehumidifiers.
I've been trying to figure out how to free some space on my home assistant core with frigate for about 12 hours with no luck.. anyone have some suggestions?
How/where is it installed?
hosted on it's own mini pc
Which installation method (that's the how)?
works
Can you connect a keyboard and monitor to the machine?
I can remotely access the terminal
If you can use a monitor, do that, enter login, then follow this: <#general-archived message>
You can do similar things with the SSH addon but it does not have access to (can‘t see) everything
my computer is being anti social.. is it impossible to paste here?
Images? Yes
not sure I fully understand the output
Please use imgur or other image sharing web sites, and share the link here.
Image posting is blocked in most channels to discourage people from sharing text as images. Sharing text as images assumes that everybody sees the world as you do, which isn't the case. Some people are colour blind, or have visual impairment that means they can't make sense of an image of text.
journald has no space to write on the host
I deleted 2 years of backups and it didn't seem to make a difference
But that's not something I told you to run?
Anyway HAOS uses docker to run things in containers. Images are a bit like a template for a container. Addons are containers too.
Try df -h and see my link
that's what the link was to?
No, it linked to how to use gdu
ok so that's a bit down from the top of where it linked to.. should have though to look at the first instance you posted.. but if I have no space how could I download it?
Right. I didn't think this through. Run df -h. There's also notes below about du which comes pre-installed
The important part here is /mnt/data
I assume it's all under docker
Basically go further (examples at link) until you go deep enough to find the source.
Perhaps many files? But they were they before too. Hmm. You can use ls pathhere to only list the contents for now and replace it with du later
I can't stop it.. seems that I just have to wait it out
CTRL+C to cancel
I tried that.. it ignored it.. must be some sort of buffering issue
huh.. seems discord puts the intended link in the middle of the screen rather than the top
I was about to ask you if you meant a certain message link and it was identical to what you pasted
The message "blinks" for a moment if you visit such a link. Very subtle
cool.. there's a slight highlight.. good to know.. I wasn't aware
I think I need to make tea or a sandwich.. this list just keeps going
Sounds like you found the source. Which folder was it?
hey team my mate is wanting to get into home assistant, i currently have mine running on unraid running with other stuff but he just wants home assistant, should install proxmox on his HA pc then VM HA to give an option if he wants to do more or should i just install HA OS directly onto the pc
Depends who you ask. If you you ask me and yer mate is sufficiently tech savvy then I'd suggest Proxmox VE
yeah good point, i'll give him HA OS lol
You can always migrate to it later but if they need your help installing it and only want HA it's probably better to keep it simple(r) for now and go with HAOS.
Yeah we came top the conclusion that it's not a go at the moment: <#general-archived message>
ha supervisor repair might free some but without any scratch space things might fail.
What was the last path you tried for du?
/root has a little space.. might try that
hmm.. read only filesystem
ok.. /tmp did it
oh.. wow
I guess that answers the question
that tool would do well to be included in the host os 😛
Oh wow. How does that happen?
You could've actually used the SSH addon for this as it has access to this whole directory.
my log file used to use mariadb.. I guess I changed that at some stage?
If you press m you can see file modification times
I would recommend to create a feature request for it but I know it'll be shut down.
just a web accessible feature under storage would be helpful
I would not have guessed that it was that file.. as I didn't realise I even used it at all anymore
must have switched back when they optimised the database
The log file's size shouldn't have anything to do with the database choice though.
you can log into mariadb
or at least you could
I think at some stage I will start with a new install of HA.. but it will have to be when I'm alone in the house for a couple of weeks
it's improved so much over the last couple of years that I would do things very differently
Does anyone know where I can find a list of the shelly device names? Trying to update a shelly plus 1pm to a newer firmware but the names don't match up in the firmware listing.
Hi there. I have a Pi 1 and Pi3 (Bluetooth) I’d like to use them as a Bluetooth proxy for my HA server running on proxmox. I know esp32 is the documented method, but can anyone tell me how to achieve the same thing with the Pis? Or am I barking up the wrong tree.
#bluetooth-archived could help, but pretty sure you can't
Sorry missed that channel. Thanks
Hi there. Just want to quickly check if someone else is having the same. Stateless switches (aka buttons) (the ones that can be single, double and long pressed), when paired to ha via homekit they are displayed as event.xxxx entity, but when they coming via z2m they are displayed as sensor.xxxx entities with actions. What I noticed, sometimes what happens is that when ha is restarted the buttons paired via homekit don’t have (single, double, long press) trigger options.
Are you talking about what you see in the automation builder?
Quick yaml question... how do i concatenate a variable into a string that can be used as a switch name? - switch.is_on: autopower_${switchname} that is coming up red. It is actually ESPHome code, but figure yaml is yaml...
YAML ain't just YAML, but the ESPHome Discord could help there
I originally posted this on Reddit I apologize in advence for my ignorance and the long read
Hello everyone!
With in the next few days my family and I will being moving out to the middle of nowhere and will have very limited internet access. I'm in the process of setting up home assistant for my google home that mostly has Geeni smart lights, plugs and cameras connected to it. My hope is that I can use this service to control stuff with my voice while not having internet. I'm pretty new to this and kind of lost at the moment.
So far I have a VM set up on my PC via hyper-v running the Home Assistant OS and am able to connect to the web interface and have logged into my Nabu Cassa account but I haven't added any plugins or anything else really. Now the thing that is confusing me is that if im not mistaken, Nabu is another internet based cloud service therefore rendering my previous goal moot. That being said I'm also awear that there is Googles own SDK development that allows you to establish local fulfillment. Can I bypass googles Cloud to Cloud method and establish local fulfillment with in Home Assistant? If so how?
Thank you in advance!
Google Home needs internet access to work
Nabu Casa is "just" a remote access service, and integration for Google Home/Alexa - Home Assistant will still run locally
But... no internet, no working Google Home devices
so essentially I HAVE to make a local fulfillment cloud via Googles cloud to cloud SDK inorder to use it with in my local network without internet
No
Google Home needs internet access to work
Without that the devices don't function, AT ALL
Local fullfillment is irrelevant
yeah really?
Yes, really
Really really
Google Home needs internet access to work
No internet, no work
I am there, they seem to be ZZzzzz
Say it louder for the ppl in the back
Then you get to wait 😛
(or head to #diy-archived and hope)
That's weird I watched the video on their offical support site and it says otherwise
Try it
LOL I'm trying to jump the line to the brainiacs!
Disconnect your internet and see how well GHome works
After a minute or two it'll tell you there's no internet and it stops working
This is well known, and well documented
Local fullfillment just allows it to talk locally when it works
If you want a 100% offline voice solution see the Year of Voice and #voice-assistants-archived
It still works as a dumb Bluetooth speaker 😆
(At least if the BT connection is up before the internet outage - haven't tried the other case yet)
That's the Google Home app you saw probably. Nest Hub also still works for local controll. Voice won't work. Just tested a wifi-only (no fiber) connection to see what would survive.
Certainly all my Hubs go "offline" when the internet goes away
You get a screen saying no internet connection that you can't browse away from
I understand what youre saying now, if the google devices detect that you dont have an internet connection they basically render themselves unusable by shuting down all input actions.
No they don't
Yes, they stop working... don't work any more... dead, like the parrot
mini's stop working because they are audio only ofc
(not that much/any voice control is likely to work... not sure how much processing they do on box, if any)
Thread support is only on some models
mine has 😉
I have a serious lack of coding knowledge but I wonder if its possible to establish a local google home assistant server. As in a server that makes the devices THINK that theyre connected to the internet cloud for authentication and fulfillment and for voice operations.
whats that?
AKA what I was talking about earlier when I pointed you at the year of the voice and #voice-assistants-archived
when you see the qr: swipe up to reveal the menu at bottom. You can do the very basic alarm stuff ofc and bluetooth
that's without wifi AND internet. But otherwise some menu's can show
with just wifi, no internet
But i cant use this on my existing google hardware can I?
you willing to mod? :p
As in a CFW?
You can replace the guts of the Mini, but it's no longer a GHome at that point
With Home Assistant HW?
this is the one with the pcb replaced
That's pretty cool
Id for sure do that. Does that pretty much allow you to bypass googles stuff altogether and use Home Assistant on local network without internet?
just setup the green home assistant, plugged it in and i go to the address on pc but its asking for username and password but there is no sign up
The reason im SOOO dead set on being able to set up SH control without internet is because I'm moving to an area where internet will be expensive have data caps and will be unreliable and my wife loves being able to do things for the kids and tell the tv and lights and stuff to do things at the same time. 😅
any 1 help
i'm looking for the setup link
oh tyvm
Install the app
To access Home Assistant from your mobile device, use the QR code to locate the app in the app store.
Select your Home Assistant server:
Mobile: Confirm the IP address detected by the app. For example http://192.168.1.196:8123
Desktop: Visit http://homeassistant.local:8123 to access the Home Assistant user interface.
this all this but cant login
#green-archived can probably better help you
You're supposed to set up your account yourself, there's no "signup"
if it's asking for a login then that's been done already
I've had a break in the flow causing it to think it was setup btw..
was looking if going to the setup url would allow a fresh setup
if u you pc to go to http://192.168.1.196:8123/ do you get anything?
or not?
i literally plugged in the green powered it up clicked on the qr code on mobile/cell phone and now its asking for my server?? i dont have a server, i have a router isp
flashing orange
in that top field you need to the url from that server
Head over to #green-archived and explain the problem
on the mobile app
Get your #green-archived set up first
After that then #android-archived or #ios_and_mac-archived can help you

The Roborock integration here is the one from HACS, which is working perfectly fine on 2023.11.2 as far as I can tell
Could this be related to the Google Calendar integration not working in 2023.11.3? The roborock integration uses that too I think, which might cause setup to fail
Google Calendar is working here with 2023.11.3
Yeah but the python module inside the roborock integration from HACS hasn't been updated yet and is incompatible with the updated python in 2023.11.3, apparently
So that has me wondering if I try to update from 11.2 to 11.3, that might be why the update fails
yes, and the automation that was working before ha restart stops triggering. Do you happen to know why those buttons paired via homekit are displayed as events and those from z2m are sensors with actions?
Any Ideas on how to get around this error. rpi3b new install. [supervisor.docker.interface] Updating image ghcr.io/home-assistant/raspberrypi3-homeassistant:landingpage to ghcr.io/home-assistant/raspberrypi3-homeassistant:2023.11.3

Because they're totally different integrations, and so behave differently
Here I've got to tell you that buttons paired via homekit turned into events after one of ha updates. Don't remember which one exactly. But I remember that my automations stopped working after the update.
General question - Aside from an automation, is there another way to ensure that within a group of light helpers, only one helper can be "On" at a given time? I've created a series of light helpers that will toggle between different RBG light strips and effects and I want to ensure that when one helper is in the On state, the remaining helpers are in the Off state.
hey can anyone help me ?
need a data base contain resumes or example resumes for a model cant get any data set for it can you all upload some on a form that i will share ?
That has nothing to do with Home Assistant - try a more appropriate server
okay
I mean there is #the-water-cooler
@frail kelp When using Discord's Reply feature it defaults to pinging the person you reply to, which can get frustrating for the target. Use Shift + click on the Reply option, or click @ ON to @ OFF to stop this - on the right side of the compose bar.
You have to change this every time (thank the Discord devs for that).
weird question perhaps - is anyone able to pair a device with zigbee2mqtt right now? Their website is down, which at least breaks device icons in the web UI... I'm trying to pair a Philips Hue lamp that I've had paired before and removed, it's repeatedly failing the interview. probably better asked in #zigbee-archived
good morning, I'm interested in getting some bulbs and switches this black friday to go cloudless with home assistant
I've been doing some searching but haven't seen if there's a list of 'recommended' or 'confirmed' HA cloudless devices. Can anyone point me to an existing resource?
Anything preflashed with esphome or Tasmota or with Matter
wow, timing... just found https://zigbee.blakadder.com/ 😄
I do have a sonoff dongle so have been searching for zigbee, thank you for the new terms
jut starting but I know cloudless is the way forward for me. I hate that my bedside lamps take 3-5 seconds to turn off and my request gets routed through servers in another country
or the internet goes down
ahh tasmota = tuya as well?
that would open some options
tasmota != tuya
@sudden wasp at one time it was fairly easy to convert tuya to tasmota using a mitm offering but not so much anymore without more effort
dang, thank you
I have found some lights that should be fine via homekit integration
it's fairly easy to convert them to esphome nowadays
I think I'll need to flash my Sonoff Zigbee adapter... I don't mind some minro hardware tinkering 🙂
thank you for the help, both!
Any way to integrate BGE I210+c Meter with Home Assistant?
So, I am a bit in doubt on how this should be done, but here goes.
I mean if I need a helper, or if it could be done with a "simple" template.
I would like to gather the summarized timespan, that a door sensor has been in an given state.
So, for instance, the hh:mm:ss that sensor.front_door has been in the state "Open" over the last 24 hours.
I am creating an automation, I would like it to initiate actions when conditions are false. How can this be done?
#automations-archived can help there, but do read the conditions docs
so i've got a raspberry pi with a dac & speakers. what can i put on it so that home assistant can use it as a media player?
If you are running HAOS, you might be able to use it with the VLC add-on and the VLC Telnet integration. But it is quite limited, if I remember correctly
the pi just runs raspberry pi os at the moment. my HA is on proxmox on a server
just wanted suggestions for an audio player really
If you are running VLC as a service on the Pi, HA should still be able to control it with the VLC Telnet integration
But it can only be used for media type music according to the docs. So TTS might not work
You could also install one of the Squeezebox clients and use LMS
Is there a way for me to see what is using all my VM RAM inside HassOS?
Install the glances addon: #general-archived message
Not a bad shout, Home Assistant itself is only reading 1.7GB whereas the VM is a lot more, just noticed a huge jump all of a sudde.
Can you share more information of what you see, perhaps a picture?
Yeah just tried but the channel doesn't allow sharing images, I'll upload them, 2 secs.
Please use imgur or other image sharing web sites, and share the link here.
Image posting is blocked in most channels to discourage people from sharing text as images. Sharing text as images assumes that everybody sees the world as you do, which isn't the case. Some people are colour blind, or have visual impairment that means they can't make sense of an image of text.
Here's what I see within settings > system > hardware
https://i.imgur.com/xzu0Kh8.png
Here's what my Proxmox VM is reporting
https://i.imgur.com/JGttyn8.png
The proxmox stats also count buffers and caches and are mostly useless due to that. Not sure how the system monitor calculates it. Best to use free -h or top (via VNC console after entering login) and glances
Guess I'll just reduce its max and let it get on with itself, not noticed any performance issues whatsoever it's just a bugbear on my reports.
Or you use the info above to find out more 🙂
I've seen threads online that corroborate pretty much what you've said, it's using it as swap and it's normal.
System monitor is rather accurate then. If you want to see what exactly is using the memory you can use top, glances and docker stats
I see no outliers in any running processes, I think you hit the nail on the head.
Thanks 🙂
I heard there was a hue update that put a massive focus on cloud connections but only after an update, that became irreversible. I'm about to put back into use some bulbs and a bridge I haven't used in 2+yrs. Any advice to prevent it from updating to this new cloud focused thing?
Don't use the bridge 😉
Place of storing config are made through the GUI
Do we have wakeword on the M5Atom yet btw?
Context?
You can try this Mopidy integration, it can't do TTS, but pre-recorded messages and music should work: https://github.com/bushvin/hass-integrations
Mopidy can do TTS
updated yesterday. input_number unit does not show sliders in gui.. Anyone?
Thanks The sliders has worked for ages. i cant see the actual sliders in any input number after update. I can change between numbers and sliders, but it wont present the graphical slider
If there's a bug:
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
From a Home Assistant perspective, anyone have strong opinions on dreamtech L10S ultra versus roborock Q Revo?
(Could toss the eBay refurb roborock s7 maxv ultra into the mix as well)
That’s just xiaomi right?
they have a ton of configuration options that aren’t documented well because the integration provides direct access to the api
This makes it hard to do the 5% stuff
But the 95% stuff is pretty easy from what I’ve read
ah💩 lovelace problem. Thanks
I can tell you, iRobots do not have nearly as many options as the xiaomi vacuums
So if you want customizations via HA, it’s probably a good choice to go with xiaomi but you may struggle a bit
iRobot is very limited
Good to know
I’ve helped a bunch of people come up with templates for xiaomi, that’s the only experience I have with them
all sliders in HA dissappered after update. How do i downgrade on docker?
As with any Docker image, switch from :stable to your chosen tag
If you're on iOS I think the fix for that is coming next month, if you just want to hold out a little longer.
yeah whole eco system is managed by ios so that is gonna be a long month
i have backup of the entire docker folder... just replace it or will that create db problems
All you need to do is change the tag
Try setting the default theme if you are using a custom one.
thanks for suggestions
If that fixes it you need to change some theme variables: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/2023-11-to-do-add-release-title/634647/280?u=tom_l
is there a dedicated channel for the skyconnect? I can't seem to get any configuration that gets... anything to work correctly it seems. I've tried setting up zha with both versions of the firmare for it (normal and multi), but couldn't get past zha's configuration, and I've also never been able to get otbr and thread working correctly on it, again, with either configuration. everything "seems" fine with it, and I'm able to flash firmwares without issue, but I'm starting to wonder if I've a dud dongle
I'd like it, it was one of the reasons I bought it, all things thread-y and the like, but at this point I'm kinda tired of none of it working right
Trying to activate a scene via REST

http://192.168.1.159:8123/api/services/scene/turn_on
Hrm
I suggest reviewing the HA log to see what it says
The only way I can get a "400" error is by using capital letters in entity_id, like enTity_id
is there support forthe "wxkg" schemed elements in the tuya integration

In Home Assistant, I would like to control a smart switch with the entity light.zs_je_l1 and a motion sensor with the entity binary_sensor.pir_je_occupancy preferably via Node-Red. After several attempts to find a solution, I came up with a possible solution that I still don't know how to do! When the smart switch with entity light.zs_je_l1 is ON and user_id: null, the motion sensor with entity binary_sensor.pir_je_occupancy should change to ON for 1 minute and repeat this for 1 minute until the smart switch with entity light.zs_je_l1 tells it OFF and is user_id: null, the motion sensor with the entity binary_sensor.pir_je_occupancy should be changed to OFF, and even if all this does not apply or is not triggered, the motion sensor with the entity binary_sensor.pir_je_occupancy should start observing its state and if it detects movement ON, it should turn on the smart switch with the entity light. zs_je_l1 to ON and if there is no user_id: null and when the movement sensor with entity binary_sensor.pir_je_occupancy detects the OFF state, it should turn off the smart switch with entity light.zs_je_l1 to ON and if there is no user_id: null.
Hey guys i want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. Discord is full of copypasted new years messages, that people don't even read and just forward to other servers. I don't like that. I like to write what i deeply wish and what comes from my heart. Our friendships, from the most deep ones to the most virtual ones are very important and will never be represented by a simple message copied from elsewhere. This being said I would like to thank all of you. You are the best furry ERP community i've ever had the pleasure of being part of.
i installed haos on a nuc, how do i get access to the addons via samba, i have the samba addon installed but i can see any of the addons i have installed

Hi. Which channel would be best to post about an issue I'm having with home assistant and docker?
auth_providers:
- type: homeassistant
- type: trusted_networks
trusted_networks:
- 192.168.100.100
allow_bypass_login: true
trusted_users:
192.168.100.100: foobar
does anyone see a problem with this? I tried it out and locked myself out from my current computer (that's not defined in the trusted_networks)
[edit] oops should be a user id instead of username. I'll fix that first
Hey gurus
question
I have zigbee power sockets, those are capable of working as repeater too, but for some reason I cant get zigbee devices far from main router to communicate
why repeaters does not help me with that?
do I need to configure anything over zigbee integration?
sounds like #zigbee-archived
hmm maybe order matters. I moved the homeassistant one below and change the username to user-id. either way works now
does anyone know if use_x_frame_options is supported in the http section? seems like the config helper doesn't like it in vscode
Check the docs?
gotcha. does seem to be there
been relying on the plugin so I avoid silly mistakes but I guess I can just save and pray lol
(it works)
Question are there more ways to add a state to a person, like when my phone connects to the wifi i get detected as home
but i also want when a device detects me in bed it gets changed to sleeping
is there a way i can add sleeping ?
I'm having issues playing media in a speaker and I think is related with the fact that I'm using DuckDNS in order to have external access to my HA. I see now that I can only connect to HA using the DuckDNS url. How can I remove this so that I can use the "normal" local url?
connect via IP?
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with getting a Govee space heater (Model H7131) integrated with ha. Ideally I'd like to use it to automate the temp in a bedroom. I had read that this particular model has temp sensors and I'd like it to display that data in ha so I can automate it.
i need to do the same thing so i can turn on the heater 45 minites before i get to the place i volunteer at it wouldve been nice today being 30f
i have a similar govee bluetooth heater
Is someone trying to hack into my HA? I keep getting login notification.
Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from 45.8.68.140 (45.8.68.140). See the log for details.
Do you live in Japan?
Anyone got a good temp/humidity sensor recommendation? Probably one that's WiFi based as the one I have now is Bluetooth and drops out constantly
I did turn on debug logging for a bit to see if I can find out why it's dropping out but I couldn't work out where those logs actually go
hey guys, is there a way to use HA to get a list of the ip addresses of all devices on the network? my router isn't very good and there's no way to see all the devices on the network and their ip addresses that i've found, so whenever i want to set up a new device with a static ip it's a little hard to know what's been used already
No. I keep getting multiple of these a day from different IP addresses.
I'd recommend using something Tuya based and then flashing it to something like Tasmota or Open Beken depending on chip
Not a direct answer to your question but you should assign static ips outside your router's DHCP range.
Also see if that's what you're looking for: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/nmap_tracker/
sorry, i'm not super technical - i meant i wanted a list so i can set up DHCP for devices*
I'll take a look at it, do you know where I can find the debug logs I made for the device I already have?
.. use fling app on your mobile device to scan your network
Hopefully you're using https for your instance and have a strong password and are using 2FA. If all those things, don't worry about it
Settings -> System -> Logs
Although do know that my device recommendations should be taken with a grain of salt as I've never personally used any Tuya based devices besides 4 outlets and a power strip.
yeah couldn't find anything for it, it's weird
it also seems like it's junking my temp data? I can't load data from a month ago
Hello! I'm having a problem with an MQTT sensor in home assistant. The problem is that after home assistant restarts, the wrong value is in the sensor but the correct value is still in the mqtt topic (I ensure all messages are retained). This feels like the state reloading feature of home assistant doing the wrong this. Is there a way to ensure the state in mqtt is used when home assistant restarts?
I wonder if this is related to the outlets on my power strip appearing as a lightning bolt and a crossed out lightning bolt instead of a toggle after restarting home assistant. Clicking either lightning bolt fixes the issue. I'm wondering if the state is being read as something invalid causing it to not render a toggle until the state is refreshed as something renderable.
Probably should test that
Could be interesting
Even more interesting, my Tasmota MQTT devices work fine
