That's the worst scene ever!
Trying to find reasons and chatgpt is not helping here!
shouldn't that say instead of getting from the grid?
oh wait.. that scenario has the grid charging the battery?
why in the f would anyone do that
I run data now and then to get some level of justification to get batteries, but no go. NG backup it is.
oh in the event of a power failure
Yes. I collect about 1k in the NEM bank every year. So was thinking about swithing from NG to Battery backup
you could combo it. like put in one of those generiacs that can run off 3 diffrent type of fuels and enough batteries to run for like 24 hours or something. that way you spend less on batteries but still use those for those short power outages and if it goes longer then the generiac kicks in
That's actually a brilliant idea.
yea I already thought all this shit through for the farm lol
that be nice
NG is still cheaper than electricity so you could just use the generica to recharge and keep those batteries topped off rather than the grid too
aren't they loud and annoying?
nopes.
not so much these days
they got all super fancy
if I build a house out at the farm a generac is a necessity
Even with a 40kwh battery bank, at full load I will get only ~3 hours
I am going to stick to NG for now. Get a small bat for essential
how long are your typical black outs?>
Not had one in about 10 years. Of course the now and then few sec load change overs
so you only need battery for those few seconds?
if those load change overs actually kill the power in your house enough to trigger the generac then you are going to want to do a battery buffer. not good for those things to start and stop over and over
Don't notice it but UPS units trigger.
oh well then you should be fine
those generacs don't trip as easily as home ups
wish plex added a gpu table to the dashboard so I can see it's usage
Sweet
Get that from nvidia smi
What a beautiful Wednesday π·! Anything is possible today π
Alright I'm not saying I'm some kind of genius or anything, but my god, some of my clients and coworkers have absolutely no troubleshooting skills
I run glances so I can see it in that but still would be nice to be in the plex dashboard
huh, even without card-mod or browser mod, i am still getting memory leaks
Running MusicAssistant?
installed GLANCES addon? here you can check what memory is increasing
Ok, had problem with MA, but seems not related to your problem. Hope someone can help.
Got a great corpus for training a new piper voice https://m.soundcloud.com/ericwbailey/rfc-2119
(super sarcasm)
Do you use auto-entities? Same issue there to be fixed. Also there are some issues noted in Frontend where users are getting history graphs continually updating. Canβt replicate, but if such continue updating happens, the could also be memory leak as Home Assistant itself will suffer from continuous use of Promise.race where a Promise does not resolve. Under normal use Promise.race will still be leaking but itβs called once or twice on navigation. card-mod calls it all the time (now fixed with using a safe race function).
the norwegian way huh

Good god... i need to do something for a funeral. Lets use home assistant for that....
Kinda suspected that
O well best way to get a QR directly as a widget on an android phone to download music.
ive done a purge of the hacs modules i dont use, including auto-entities, so lets see if it goes away
edit: nope
Is Home Assistant really missing timezone for Slovenia?
Last time I checked Slovenia is still a coutry with their own timezone rules (in summer GMT+2 otherwise GMT+1)
The HA timezones are selected by cities within that timezone. Likely not every country has its capital city represented. You can select any of those from the same timezone (for example: it doesn't matter if Berlin or Brussels is chosen - as long as they follow the same daylight saving time rythm).
it's all CET anyway in W europe
Still this is the first time I saw a project with missing timezone for Slovenia (Ljubljana).
Doing a research which country has the same daylight saving time (starting and ending on the same days) is not user friendly.
Isn't there tz-data library or some similar name with all timezones provided that most distros comes with it?
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
typically the system reads a list of available timezones and then just presents that list to you. I think you can make an issue for it on github (in core)
looks like apex charts has await Promise.all
may have been one of my extensions acting up actually
anyone notice in 2025.7 that raw editor you can't search?
What about the cooked editor?
Just a little more hair than the normal one

Furry, not fury
Anyone else having some automations editting lag like hell now with latest stable release?
Its like my cpu is overloaded
im using a picture card - I never could update the tab - I had to raw edit it but I can't even do that
I had to copt the entire thing out and modify and paste back in
because I can't find stuff in that editor
what file is the raw configuration?

I wonder how they manage the "battery powered" part

binging would like a word

everyone who has no access to that: 
for those with FOMO
I think there's somethign to be said for not having to route a bundle of cables through a wall to the TV, but power seems like a must (and is just an outlet), and are walls that a suction cup would reliably stick to a thing in most homes?
or are houses with smooth glass walls in vogue now?
sounds like some sort of porn house
Oh right discord changed that to show no-access or something
Ugh ruining the joke
Horstexplorer is leaking our secrets 
the first rule about furries is...
get one and let us know
its cool, its obviously not designed for home use though
is there any actual use for it?
Tech bros who want the most sterile looking environment?
it's like several separate ideas thrown together in a demo, but hard to imagine where it would be used
You just summed up the current state of the tech industry really well.
like if you're parked with an RV somewhere and want to stick it to the side of the RV?
and just want to use Airplay or something?
Me
Like literally
it's actually how I imagine @tidal bronze house to be
It's MY ball
that suction cup tv is brilliant. make something that "sticks" to a wall and make it battery powered so it falls off said wall and breaks
that's what I'm saying - who has walls that would work with that?
Planned obsolescence but it's not just software bricked
Fun fact: You can do this without their fancy TV.
well smooth walls isn't uncommon
What happened to Sonoma s name lol
upgrade
smooth enough that the vacuum doesn't dissipate, though.
seems like you would need to stick smooth discs to the wall for the TV to stick to first
Sure someone will throw that with a HA "DASHBOARD" π
i'm sure it auto re-sucks as needed
seems problematic for the battery runtime
It's definitely sucking
thats why they likely added a super loud and annoying buzzard to let you know when the battery is low
I expect it woudl have a hard enough time keeping the TV running for a while
So in addition to Netflix asking "are you still there" this will add time to charge battery
Indeed
your battery is about to run out just before we find out who the murderer is...
that tv's existence was made for the, "because we could" category. wasn't last years a fish tank tv or something?
Sidebar, anyone using predictive cooling?
like applying ice before stubbing your toe?
So while you are hitting on a girl the TV may be hitting on you
Seems like an interesting concept for modern arts
Also you can tell your kids that watching too much tv will break the bloddy thing
Not really. Monitoring outdoor temp gain rate and cooling before
many thermostats do that already
Yeah right
not just based on your schedule?
Nest kinda started the trend of pre-heating/cooling based on when you might be home to care
I am talking about dynamic monitoring
How is the outdoor temp sensor connected to your controller?
So you don't have any swings at all
So if you set 75, and rise rate is 2deg it will go down to 73 for the expected 79
well its a little more complicated since I use the indoor sensors.. but yes
but it depends what the outside temp is
So changes the set point dynamically throughout the day?
you can't see that on the display just like I can't see the differences when it tries to average out the house as a whole but yes
its the whole point of the system using both inside and outside temp sensors
it even takes humidity into account
Humidity is a must.
Time to cool depends on that
That's fantastic. So let's see how this is going to work out for me.
my house is a poor example cause of how a split level impacts temps
you can see it maintains my lower more evenly while the upper bounces in the process
so it's like trying to account for outside temps/humidity while also balancing between the split levels
and it does not work perfectly
Do you have a outdoor vs living graph
With call for AC?
no i have nothing that shows each of those events
I write stuff to control this in commercial units
For work that is
Awesome, can you break down the high level logic used.
How it works you mean?
Well the logic behind it.
@forest edge so does it maintain a 4deg band throughout the day?
it struggles is what it does lol. we also have one of those remote units the woman uses and it has it's own controls and she can tell the system to override the central unit and only cater to that remotes local temp/humidity. you can actually see that on the graph with that dip lol
Lol. When is comes to HVAC struggle is real.
the problem is I don't have zone control ducts
Yellow is living average?
if I did both the upstairs and downstairs would be the same temp
yellow is downstairs while green is upstairs
Huh ?
Can you graph upstairs with local sensor
what do you mean
Upstairs average sensor Vs local outdoor sensor
I dunno how to combine the outdoor graph with indoor
the two graphs I pasted are of the same time frame etc
if by predictive cooling you mean basic weather compensation, the principle is pretty simple. It takes a while for heat (or cold) to propagate from outdoors to indoors and vice versa. If you have an outdoor (ambient) temperature sensor, you can adjust the setpoint of your cooling or heating unit to account for changes in ambient temperature before they propagate into the house. The underlying principle for cooling and heating is exactly the same, it's usually called weather compensation and shown as a graph like this
Not bad at all.
its a good system. i just don't have the layout nor fancy stuff like the zone ducts to really make the most out of it
not to mention she wrecks it when she uses that remote control thing and we always sometimes use our attic fan in cooler months
you can see that in march etc lol
Got it Thanks. Do you account for consecutive hot days, cool down days warm up days?
currently, no. It will be a basic PI(D) loop for most systems
Makes sense.
but better controllers are coming that make use of building thermal physics directly. But that's a whole other story
If consecutive hot days, structure thermals take less time to propagate ambient heat etc.
yes. You can learn what those time constants are, if you have some data or specifications of the building. There are companies who have commercialized this technology already https://builtwins.com/technology/
Technology description
Started with, solar radiation, sun angle weighted temp sensors and now I am here. HA is interesting once again π
maybe utilize the nest thermostats you have instead of just using them as dummy controls?
They are a POS
although not sure the nest has a local outside temp/humidity sensor to utilize
it uses thier weather thing tho
least the nest 3 does
nest 2.. whatever the one before the super disc
Could care less about "smart thermostats"
The only piece of useless iot hardware in my loop
But hey it will turn off the furnace fan if it detects a fire via nest smoke alarms. π€£
if your ac unit produces smoke its already too late
Things people come up for marketing
if you keep going you'll end up here. If you know a bit of EE this will make sense otherwise it won't lol
@tidal bronzeFlorida's "super speeder" law just went into effect. you should push for california to get the same law
instant jail/fine for anyone doing over 100mph
No thank you.
you gotta be able to outrun the alligators
they caught someone doing a 104mph 2 minutes after the law went into effect
imagine being that poor sap
They are running test program up in SF for speed cameras. I am not happy at all. I need my 125 days to last
can't you just go faster to become a blur?
Of course on the 10 somewhere in AZ π€£
If they implement the speed cameras wife will finally accompany me for long drives. π
lol
you just want company in jail?
why you should get a tesla so she can feel safe
She will never. Hates the car loves with stock. She is strange.
She says the same thing. π
rich person boasting about something they personally dislike just to up it's worth and make themselves more money.. dosen't sound strange at all lol
It's all relative amigo
@forest edge do you run a zone controller or controlled vents?
why did latest update of home assistant broke area cards beyond normal usage? I have entire dashboard now gone to doodoo and nothing to replace it with in the way I used them
i told you I did not.
my system would be much more effective if i had
owh I see yeah, no support here
the system has to average with like a 3 or 4 degree diffrence or something between the lower lvels and upper levels
And 1 unit?
Pushing it
Well, cheers.... I think it is time to see about using not home assistant, will hang around to see if anything will happen with me support topic, but I am guessing breaking stuff through updates is something to expect more in future
just avoid updating till like .3+
Area cards? Is it a new thing?
old MS developers? cause if that is the trick, it must be π
they changed them. not new
No clue about anything dashboard π
the changes broke them and made them unusable
which makes no sense.. the dashboard sounds like what you want to replace your nest and other crap with lol
I had them for lights nicely 2 deep 4 width and all, but all that is the past. They were simple area light on and off with display of humidity and temp of that area, now it is broken and forced 4x4
Oh no. I will jump of a building the day I have to interact
isn't jumping off a building actually interacting?
or a cause of interaction
Found my solution and it is the only way to fix it π
any number in there will break it and make the ugly 6 rows card forced
or bigger if number bigger then 6
I guess this is a support channel after all π Problem fixed.
i guess they broke, you break also and that fixes it
until next update
awesome π

sigh, this really isn't the kind of shit I need to deal with recovering from wisdom tooth removal, god damnit.
Noticed an outlet turned off, turned it back on, back off instantly a couple times, then it got renamed to this shit. Killed my network, downloaded opnsense and HA logs, reset the device.. but uhg, trying to figure out the attack method, especially right now, ffs
read the message above yours
LMAO this server is so fucked
locked down any port forwarding I had open, but the logs in homeassistant don't seem to have any indication of when it was reanemed, probably just then when it first shows up, but can't see any log of like, mqtt commands so idfk
This isn't a home assistant config issue though, and I really doubt I'll get to the bottom of how this shit happened
"hey homeassistant config people, I have a network security issue to figure out", totally related to configuring my ha server
isp won't change my fuckin external IP's for two weeks because they need an appointment to come out and sit on ass too, fuckin joke
That's right
I mean if it's just from the ha server sure, but I don't have it directly exposed to the net
so probably an issue elsewhere
just venting. probably can't do shit about it at this point, and great timing to be on painkillers with jaw pain constantly smh
tbf I never found pain killers to be effective at helping with nerve pain like tooth pain. I do not envy your current position, friend.
Yeah seems like they help on and off. Or maybe it is just random. Sometimes I'm just burning through ice packs faster than they freeze despite plenty of painkillers
whisky on the gums
maybe but any time I've tried to go out I get dizzy as shit driving, just turned back. Been almost a week so figures my recovery is going crappy.
Pain killers + Wine sure do work.
Basically I'd have to find someone to pay to go through all these logs and audit shit. Except yknow, now in debt from shitty genetics putting sideways ass teeth in my head
Shutdown all your servers and rename your wifi back to normal. Then turn servers one by one until the attack happens again.
This way you will be able to see what server / device was hacked.
As this attack seems to be automated
time to implement your disaster recovery plan
Yeah, I'm monitoring stuff right now. I got a batch of four new sonoff s31's off aliexpress, flashed tasmota to em early this am. That should have wiped anything that was on em if they were preloaded with garbage i think
I do have a full offsite backup at least worst case, so far not finding anything suspect for viruses/rootkits scanning everything I have
How many users?
Just me, lots of devices though. Did have some older ports open I wasn;t using anymore but overall was pretty locked down
Router/wifi make?
running opnsense on a semi custom box, couple ubiquity access pointts, nanohd and ap pro
and home assistant is through the nabula casa account so afaik that should be pretty secure in it's own right. I work in IT and have a good general knowledge but network stuff and cybersecurity has only been mostly a side interest, never actually spent much time getting good knowledge on it
sort of been on the list, but yknow, gotta find time
sucks that the outlets don't log stuff internally for any real period, thought they did, that would have helped find when exactly it got accessed
So gained access to unifi controller?
possibly. I have a first gen cloud key
Shared passwords?
You should dig deep into router log. What ports are public facing as of now?
Probably did it yourself in painkiller delirium π
as of now no ports open, disabled all forwarding before plugging the ont back in
and I fuckin wish it was a dissasociative state where I have a pakistani alter ego or somethng. would be less concerning lol
Before you closed what ports were open?
Unfortunately a good number including some basic web server ones, at least I'm pretty sure.
I was only using 45 and 81 actively, but not sure if I killed the others. They are all mapped to specific devices
haven't played dayz in years, fuck I let that shit slide. even if it was off, should have deleted it
yeah sorry that's a complete dumpster fire right there
HA is probably not the only thing that's hacked now
yeah... I mean ideally just that, but fuck, figuring out what else might be
best case just that one outlet but idfk
have some non tasmota smart plugs that I got these to replace, overkill but trashing those right now since I can't put any other firmware on em
depends how paranoid I want to be I guess, not like I'm a target for anything super sophisticated, but fuck. best case would be to literally burn everything
Am I doing something wrong that updates recently don't seem to be showing up on my HA Green - or am I just getting ahead of things? e.g. I don't have any option to update to the recently released z2mqtt addon released yesterday( v2.5.1-1) or 2025.7 announced as released yesterday π
Is that a Tasmota device? Also did you have port forwarding set up to it for some reason?
Yeah it's a sonoffo plug flashed with tasmota, no port forwarding was set to it. unless it grabbed an ip that one of my old aliases was set to
I'll check em, but think it was on a different one
Thinking about it. Even if they got access to that specific plug over the internet. How would they be able to change the name in HA?
via the device itself
yeah. that fuckin vm I had running a web server has been offline for ages which free;d up the port
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhg
so it had port 80 open
does your isp give your router a ipv6 block? du ipv6 enabled devices in your network manage to get ipv6 addresses from your block? if so, you could have devices that are publicly available over ipv6
I don't think I have ipv6 enabled, but not specifically blocked. I also went pretty heavy handed with geoip blocking whole regions from my network
That's the stuff people use to scare nannys about smarthomes. WHAT IF THEM COMMIES HACK YOUR PLUG
though that doesn't help with a botnet from a "clean" location
Oh plugs and shit are such a good attack vector
fuck me though, don't have em on their own vlan, and didn't think I'd have it happen
but yeah, just was fuckin sitting open exposed to port 80 for ages

if your plug had an ip address that your port 80 was forwarded to then i hope they couldn't do any real damage. just play with that one device
|| you're welcome lol ||
Yeah, thanks, fuck. I mean, still concerning as shit
but it would have taken me ages to figure that out with the brain fog rn
Reason #1 my dishwasher will not get internet access
A long con to get you sick from dirty dishes
guess that helps rule out something more sophisticated at least a bit more, just general port scraping fuckery to scare people. Which it did, so gg ez game pakistan army ig
don't buy an lg washer either lol
I want to switch over to zigbee to have less stuff on wifi anyhow, fuck. should have bought one of those new-ish bridges that work over ethernet
this explains why I didn't see any access attempts on my router or cams
Sounds like good enuff' news
mhm. honestly first time occuring to me that yeah, using zigbee will massively cut down on attack vectors
That or just don't expose two handfuls of ports
more like three handfulls :/
I should have taken a screenshot of it before disabling them all to see what I actuall had open, probably all of them though, fuck
good wake up call
If you're not paying for a static IP address then you might just try unplugging the modem for about an hour and then plug it back in. For me (xfinity) I've gotten a new ip address after less than 30 min
I am paying for a couple unfortunately. And yeah, they literally won;t change them without coming out, which is stupid af
so not opening anything until I get new ones
but yeah I am catching up and saw
Did have some older ports open I wasn;t using anymore but overall was pretty locked down
And then saw the list π
when I first got the static externals they sent a tech out, put the router in bridge mode and he left, never got told that their gear can't handle multiple external addresses and had to scrape together an old motherboard and nic to make a router that night lol
I haven't done any game servers or web server stuff in like, four years so fuck, definitely neglected being checked over
for the very few wifi devices i have i use a guest network on my router. that way they can talk to their cloud service but not my internal network. everything else is zigbee here
zigbee was kind of always the goal too but no good negotiators that worked with poe, so never set up their own isolated thing
but there are those relatively new ones that look pretty nice, and are only like 60 bucks
Wowza!
What's the best method/forum to make suggestions for UX changes? This seems outside the scope of a normal bug report/feature request.
Context here: would like better device selection for HomeKit bridge, analogous to Alexa/Google Assistant.
these ones
I'll probably get one and some outlets to play with in like, two months when I pay off the rest of the debt from the operation
Just a suggestion. Even 443 run it via CF reverse proxy and whitelist only CF IP's .
then I can grab nice low power temp sensors and shit too
You will spend so much money on zigbee stuff lol
i just use a nabu casa zigbee stick in my haos based server. most of my routers are light bulbs
Yeah, I had a little project archiving youtube channels and hosting the backups, but ran out of storage and had no donations or money for it so abandoned it. And never cleaned up my ports :/
oh definitely lol
temp sensor in each room, hey, why not outside, hey, why not a different spot outside, etc lol
Windows/Doors, outlets, motion basically everything?
Yeah, would definitely be cool. I just rent a small ass place basically with half a garage to use for working on stuff. So not like it's been worth setting up loads of automation or anything. I just set up home assistant for power monitoring my server rack more or less
CF has upload limits but now you can use Pangolin.
I think I looked into it and didn't like how they took over SEO rankings too or whatever it was. my site actually like, popped up proper on google lol, should have screenshotted that when it still did. But yeah, wasn't gonna sink money into terabytes of storage for other people past the spare drives I had
basically the same here too. I'd love to have like, automatic lighting zones and presence detection and shit set up.
but it also takes three steps to get between all the light switches here
so not much point lmao
There's always a point on fully automating
Yep
only automation I have I set up this week, got some smart tower fans that I could plug in and they have a temp sensor, so automated the window ac in my server room to save power. Aside from that just using ha for outlets lol
so massively under-using it
You cant predict everything, that's why i want a decent dashboard, but i have everyday stuff automated and I love it.
You can predict EVERYTHING π
I bet I can use HA to set multiple alarms on stuff somehow, because yknow, I need like, 10 to wake up. There's probably a way I can say "wake me up at 8 am" and it will set alarms at 15 minute intervals the previous hour
that would be useful
GF decides it's ocean documentary night and wants the lights to be all blue and shit? Teach me master
Documentary and blue lights?
rgb lights are on the list when I get zigbee lol, mostly so I can have a night running thing where if I need to piss middle of the night they just all go on dim red
would be better than white lol
Basically ambilight but without hue sync or anything like that
Days before the "I bought tuya bulbs but they turn on full bright white before switching to color" post 
ah lmao, that's a thing? I'll have to try and remember that
That's not a requirement in my use case. But for the extensive system I run, don't use a dashboard and never will.
idk if you can flash tasmota firmware on to some bulbs or something but seems you could then define the initial state in rgb, idk. Just have dim be default lol
when i turn on the alarm on my phone at bedtime ha detects the alarm time set and turns on the light 30 mins before the alarm
That would be pretty nice. being able to do it from a voice assistant when I'm super tired would be nice though
I set multiple alarms on my echo dot and phone lol
annoying to yell at alexa from the next room five times in a row lmao
Tbf i only encounter edge cases like that because there is the option to do weird stuff. If I'd never install colored lights i wouldn't have that problem lol
I do have multiple accent lights but that's only when guests are around for music running ledfx
your face is a light bulb
(torn between that or router, you get light bulb)
oh fuck, tasmota does have a web admin password option. That probably would have prevented the renaming shit. But also, woke up up about a big issue, so eh, kind of good
the app i use on android uses the microphone to detect when i sleep light in a configurable time before the time set and tries to wake me then
didn't realize you could set that for the plug's ui
Aw yeah I have that too, my friends have wifi access. If HA detects them and music is playing on my speaker, dim ambient lights turn on because we are 90% sure sitting on the balcony drinking
oh, like, it listens for you stirring and shit to try and detect when you aren't in REM sleep?
yes. it seems to actually work
damn, that's pretty cool. What's the app called?
also detects snoring and lets me listen to it
With my luck won't work for me, but eh, maybe worth a shot. I'm always tired wether I sleep 3 hours or 12
God the brain fog is real. I did not read that as religion the first time and was like wtf lol
"sleep cycle" by "sleep cycle ab"
cool. Gonna look into it for sure
i use the "brown noise" option for falling asleep. it seems to mask the noises from the outside best for me
uhg. I'm gonna go half lay down/slump down again. mouth is starting to feel swollen and fuckin itchy again. Thanks again for the help spotting the huge ass mistakes I made though, jesus.
maybe I should take some time off work next week too at this rate, fk. idk how they say people go back to work a day or two later
it can do a lot of sleep analysis stuff, but i think that requires buying a license
Or change the MAC address of your router if possible it has that feature
@vagrant forum looks like my Bitwarden extension's site icon logic had a memory leak for me
the others probably didnt help
@tidal bronzeyou super excited about the next movie you watch at the theater? https://www.theverge.com/news/695611/amc-theatres-movie-preshow-ads-warning
Alright what's less lame, being at home alone or being at a bar alone. Because I'm currently at a bar alone since my wife is gone for the weekend lol
I was sitting at home playing Borderlands and thought "why the fuck am I sitting at home alone" and then went out
sounds like a mistake
Damn I didn't saw the minimize button so I pressed the back button and the dashboard froze
going to a bar alone is always the most lame
bonus extra lame points if you are not single
Depends on the person. My uncle always starts flirting with the waitresses
well if he is single then he's not getting full possible points so there is that
he has a wife
I haven't been to a movie theater in like, 10 years lmao, this isn't gonna help lol
surprised movie theaters still exists
I've considered it a couple times, but just never seems worth $40+ to see a movie and get some food.
probably more than that honestly. Also wouldn't be going with anyone so like.. eh, I'll just wait?
Though there have been some things that would have been cool to experience on a giant screen. The noise and stuff from other people isn't a positive addition for me though
I'd go if they didn't serve snacks and muzzled talkers 
whats the point of going to a movie theater if you can't have popcorn?
giving your betters your money?
duh. /s
Who watches movies at theaters any more?
Bigger screen
Legal early watching
yea sorry, you are in the minority with your no snack idea lol
That's why cinemas are dying
lol no
streaming services is why they are dying
them having to increase cost of tickets and food because of that is why they are dying
Yea. Noone withπΏ at home
So streaming is superior
They only ever had a chance when they provided value by being cheaper and earlier than home video releases
But since it's neither now, why would anyone bother with how shitty the experience is?
Also given the quality of TVs most people have now
Nothing new is really shitty, even cheap walmart / chinese models
Ehhhh, depends on how well your eyes work
thats why they came out with screenx and max4d etc
Granted, on a good video source they mostly look ok
and if you are rich enough to have those experinces at home the cost of a ticket to a theater is nothing
just look at QF lol
Yea. But bigger screen isn't worth the suck of people with πΏ within earshot
well that's you
I personally do not hear that when I have gone
the surround sound of the movie drives out any ambient noises
That's the problem around here, no cinema near me has really good sound
Sadly I'm younger than 80 and still got mostly working ears π¦
uh huh
Last movie I watched was Expendables 4 because i wanted all that action bs really rumble. But nah
Yea, price isn't the problem
It's the horrible experience
must be a german thing
The only acceptable one I've been to in years is the student one
Which is a shit show. But intentionally
Yea. I know you guys aren't used to comfort and tolerate it π
leather seats that recline, no blockage of the view of the screen, perfect sound.. yea we sure lack comfort lol
Yea. Why would you have to leave your home for that..?
Also, not a fan of leather seats in most cases. But that's preference
well like i said, the screen would be the main reason.. that and some people like being socialble for whatever reason
But why would you try to be sociable in a context where you are supposed to be mostly silent?
Cinemas suck for that
i mean
there are periods before and after the movie lol
not to mention bars inside movie theaters is like common place now
So, if I'm writing an automation with variables in it - what's the easiest way to debug on what is being set?
the biggest cinema complex here has good sound, some halls with luxury recliners and one small hall with insane sound system. das boot was nice in that one. when the sub hit bottom the whole room did. but still... so much easier to watch at home. i live in my own house. i can play loud. and i have a good subwoofer.
Maybe? Haven't been in ages.
The trace view

Though I also annoy my brother by mostly watching movies on intercontinental flights
Even worse than cinemas
Even more expensive
But ehh

what the fuck
also
where are the support pillars
all it takes is one honey booboo to come out on that terasse
I assumed a terasse though, but it is actually just a carport
give it four segulls then
Wdym rage bait?
This is what I expect from half the people here
only half ?
Other half isn't hands on enough
being hands on can suck sometimes. π
at work where someone improperly installed a heat pumps drain line so it almost leaked into a PSU I ahve setup for LEDs... π
the condensation stopped just right above it...
coincidence? maybe. or maybe just the ambient heat coming off the PSU kept it from happening. Either way, sonvabitch.
worse: go into ceiling to do something.
Spot a wire.
yes that is a live wire just dangling there out of the box... I checked its live.. ffs..
Did you touched it?

Hey all π I am only just getting started with home assistant - but I have been slowly building up my own dashboard and device repertoire. I haven't gottent started on too much automation yet but will soon nice to meet you all ^_^
No need for that when you can just decouple it all and run it HA instead
With 5+ replicas

With cross geo redundancy
And multiple failure domains per site
Throw in some private 5G for good measure
Geo redundancy on HA π
can you point me to which planet you are living on
doesn't seem to be listed here
Not on HA, but High availability
ha for ha would be very nice though

with zigbee coordinator failover as well? π
This blog is for those people whose daily job is IT-related (DevOps, developers, system administrators, etc) and who are using Home Assistant at home. If you fit that description, you just might suffer from what I call: The enterprise smart home syndrome.
When working in IT, youβll often end
That's easy with Poe coordinators
yea, but no active<>active, not even active<>passive :/
so it's really just quick~ish failover
Ha enough
You're easy with PoE coordinators
Vcenter ha on windows was 20 minute failover
it is nice to just move it to another host and then update the previous one though
He can be wrong as well π
can be?
well yea. on windows
Usually is
nobody expects quality
Frenck may be disappointed that I set up a separate HA instance for Google Assistant to access that only has access to devices we'd control via voice (which is rare anyway tbh)
Low voltage guy here: (Fire/smoke alarm/suppression, access controls, CCTV) I feel attacked ...
It's okay, there are many here who suffer from the same condition
it's really just paranoia about access to the instance itself
I see Pi was mentioned (the first ever real use of linux)
redundant poe zigbee coordinators with failover are easy? i'll have to check that out then
wtf is zigbee failover
Zigbee2mqtt restores the config to the coordinator on boot, so just make the DNS to point to both

but if your coordinator fails? can you have a standby coordinator that will work without rebuilding the whole network? i guess it's possible
Yes
It is just like replacing the one you have
I've moved between 5 coordinators
Just by swapping it out
Yes
I moved from USB to networked coordinator without rebuilding
It doesn't work with every coordinator though
i guess the standby needs to have different config until it is needed, then switch the config over
Or just keep it blank
Then after failover just wipe the standby
This can all be automated
is this all in regard to using like the sonoff cordinators?
the only thing i don't like about that is that the network must be up.
that is my main reason for sticking with the usb stick
Is your network down?
I've been running Poe coordinator now for 3 years, no hickup so far
pi with ups and an old cell phone... automations work even if someone cuts power and network
so if i want my pi to become my alarm system i may go that route
Bought that cheap Aliexpress zigbee lamp and its working surprisingly well
It was like 15buck and worked right out of the box
I will work a wall fixture for it and it should be quite neat
you got one when you bought the jeep
just repeat the things sonoma says
aka speak the truth
Link pls
that's quite the link
jesus christ remove all the tracking bullshit
the 5W one is the one i have and its more than enough lol
yeah lol its fixed now
Do you mind if others have the role?
I mean yes and no. i think the biggest issue would be confusion cause of how hard the role color makes to read the name lol
least on dark mode
your name
you aren't that important... π
That's fair lol
I had to buy a new pair of jeans earlier this year and noticed the same brand, same type of jeans I always buy was like way different than what I already had. the side pockets were smaller, the fit was weird and even the color was like way off. ended up buying the same jeans off amazon rather than in a store cause amazon was old stock
We dug into the real reason all of our clothes are getting worse. The fast fashion revolution is making huge brands like Zara and Sheinβand their shareholdersβrich. Meanwhile, we get worse clothes with no pockets and textile landfills you can see from space.

I heard we like water coolers here.
is that a sprite from Terraria? 
This is the water cooler from Undertale / Deltarune. It shows no mercy (I was hoping this might strike fear to someone's soul, perhaps in time)
I should include that watercooler in my dashboard
Ok Grandpa let's get you back to bed

Omg just found out i have something between my teeth in my tiktok recording.....
The solution is to delete tiktok
For that i need tiktok admin credentials
You can also just remove the application from your device

i'm new to automations. I want a push button to turn on / off several lights. The way I think I have to do it is: create an "on" and and "off" scene, and then, depending on which scene is active, switch to the other one?
Thats ostrich behaviour

Hi Folks. I run a fair few bits as addons on my HA installation but in the interest of breaking things up I wanted to host them elsewhere. e.g. Frigate NVR, Plex, Music Assistant so HA can run as clean and efficent for its main purpose. I do have an unraid server, an old beast that is powered on when needed but just looking for an alternative small footprint server with a web front end to manage dockers. Any suggestions or is a combination of Linux/Portainer still the best out there/
proxmox! vm for haos and LXC's for other stuff. but for further discussion start a thread in #1284966540617449515
I just came here as I will be running HA on its own dedicated hardware, separate. This is just for something to run non critical home services
Please move to #1284966540617449515
What's the best place to ask about building add-ons? I have python daemon I'm working on turning into an addon and it's very close to working but I have a snag I can't figure out.
get the dev role from the channels and roles section and then ask in the dev support section
Thank you.
So the mental support has been deligated to emotional support raccoons?
That was the laziest trolling I think I've ever seen
Yep
Just saw a post about how much gold reserve each country has
And Norway has none

Last night I was listening to a podcast about my HA setup. Some of the the automations I never knew I had π€£
I am convinced that they multiply when you don't expect it
Well, some are about 10 years old. I move houses but automations carry over. Just eye opening to hear π
Little too much π

First time home owner, in way over my head. Wish me luck!
Do you need a hue hub when using home assistant?
May your wallet support the path you choose in life.
You can buy a pi zero plug it in to 24 volts. And bless the IT spirits with white holy smoke.
I have no idea!
I wish I understood what this meant π
I checked you need the bridge.

Congratulations on your house. I bet philips works great. I have a tight budget so have cheap zigbee stuff.
Zigbee is still good to add for lots of stuff.
Thank you!! My partner and I are super excited, if a bit overwhelmed
What do you like more backend. Functions commands routine. Or frontend how stuff looks?
Home assistant is a lot of stuff. Even for me it was overwhelming and i know my IT stuff.
I fix people, not machines. So I don't actually know what that means. I meant what I said about being in over my head lol
Dont worry we got you. The devs are working on a area card. That automatically generates a good looking gui (i think i should say app to you) by assigning devices to a room.
Works pretty well and they still work on it
no. zigbee coordinators work.
Well I appreciate that! Thanks for dumbing it down hah.

if its too "niche" i wont bother either way
again, this is not the place, start a thread in self promotion with more context
Cute. Managed/PoE switch? 
I had to look up what that meant, lol. But no I don't think so!
if, for some weird reason, you want to use the hue cloud services and then integrate ha to those... imho you are then asking for trouble - and latency
hue devices are zigbee devices, and a ha instance with a zigbee coordinator will handle the hue devices directly.
in the latter case, let the raccoons have the hue hub so you can work in peace with the rest
@last cedar I didn't realise you have a jewellery shop! https://tannybunny.com/product/raccoon-ear-cuff-silver/

I've got my Hue Lights on a Hue Hub because of Dynamic scenes. ZHA Can't create gradients on rgb Strips, only single static colors
if you have HA installed on a laptop, can you just swap the HDD/SSD to any computer? I assume it should just work
You can move HA from anything to anything by just copying the config directory
HAOS eh, maybe probably, wouldn't
Philips Hue has a local API which is what HA uses

i was in my late twenties when linux appeared...

waiting for arm on desktop? my first home computer with a real os was the acorn r-140 running bsd unix on arm. i am waiting for the return of arm on desktop.
That said, I was 11 when linux started becoming mainstream and I've been on and off from 97-15, but fulltime since
For desktop that is
All my servers have been linux since 98
no BSD? 
I do wonder if ARM will take over and x86 will slowly disappear

Give me grace with my cable management, I beg of you
small steps π
Indeed!
The cable management looks better than some server cabinets I've inherited at work. Don't hold yourself to unrealistic standards ;)
I don't know of any other standard unfortunately
If you're looking for some suggestions... get yourself a roll of 3/4" velcro and cut pieces to size so you don't need to reuse those twist ties. I also like to get the rubber dust plugs for the unused ports in my devices.
Awesome suggestions! I'll order some right now
And a label maker eheh
Or the cable labels by the sheet if you have a laser printer already.
I like my Brother labeller, but you're gotta be wise about using it because the consumables are expensive and their design wastes 20mm or so per print. But if you print 10 labels it's still only one wasted piece, so the more at once the more efficient
