I need to do some performance work on the solution we use at work 
Don't mess up the dns
don't worry. our DNS is 4 eye principle
terraform in github actions 
what could go wrong?
Copilot is four of those eyes?
@tidal bronze well did your house survive the egging from the disappointment balls?
(checks notes) yes
taking down Halloween stuff and putting Xmas stuff up is such a chore
That’s why I installed wled controlled strips on the house. Purple and orange for Halloween, special Christmas twinkle sequence, freedom fireworks for those holidays, and neutral white the rest of the year
I need to program some more stuff in and set it up with calendar schedules
just don't do outside lighting besides the path from the driveway to the door 
or none at all when you park in an attached garage with a door
Hi, everyone. Do we have someone from github who can quickly review and approve my PR?
https://github.com/home-assistant/developers.home-assistant/pull/2853
The thing is - if people follow the documentation to restore original Odroid OS, they will have a really bad time - they will brick the device.
No. Definitely not in this non-support channel. Give yourself the developer role and ask in the developers channels. There is a queue. It is long. Though for emergency PRs things can be escalated.
And that's just a single line change to the docs
Oh documentation PR? Yeah they get approved pretty quickly.
could try.. pangolin maybe to punch between em?
🤷♂️
uses STUN to punch through ports as needed if I remember.
so.. same as tailscale technically. 😛
but your isues are probably related to DNS fuckery with docker and etc.
it wasn't DNS it was network issues
i already fixed it by simply installing ngixn and tailscale on the server itself
Had to create a macvlan for pihole, never again
thats fine and all for perma installed lights. does dick all for all the "other" decorations lol
All devices stable on Z2M, add my first aqara device, constant connection loss to hue bulbs... Something tells me this isn't a coincidence
quite...
Butterfly effect
Someone curses out a raccoon, and someone elses Z2M becomes unstable, that is just how it goes
Iirc Aqara doesn't always play nice, although my leak detectors work well, as do the DIY flashed temp/ humidity thingies (although I guess technically they are not aqara)
Yeah I read a few bits on it. I removed the device and repaired it and now my LQIs are much better and the map actually loads without errors, for now.
I've got the E1 hub anyway if it comes to it as I bought a 'starter kit', just dont want to lol
Never had an issue with my many Aqara contact and temp sensors.
The only devices I've had issues with were eWeLink bulbs and the Tuya solar rainfall sensor. The latter straight up disappeared and never came back, the former just fell off the network constantly.
I'm on ZHA though
Anyone else having issues with the automation editor sidebar being too small and can’t resize in IOS?
it's apple what do you want? to actually work?
Thanks for taking the time to reply
Nope works for me lol
or I am looking at the wrong thing
its actually not that bad
Good morning world!
I am workingn the elections in my area on Tuesday and I need to be there at 05:00.. so I am making good progress with my sleep schedule
Daylight savings is actually helpful here 🙂
I just heard that tailscale had issues ~12hrs ago. Might have coincided with your setup
it was docker shenanigans. like the dockers coundltn talk to each other tailscale did connect its fine tho ill debug later
Changing the time is awful though, just keep it at one of them
I hope your elections are voting on wether to keep changing the clocks, or not 🤣
lets go on a quest for a new company car 🥺
EV? gotta make sure you have an excuse to buy smart EV stuff to integrate
I can't. I drive too much lol and unfortunately I cannot charge at home so that'd drive me insane
tbh most modern cars do have similar capabilities
huh? you dont tank gas at home either
no but that takes 5 to 8 mins to do
so it's like 20 min more per week. Who cares
I care. its my time.
aren't you in IT? take your laptop and make it company time
jesus christ are you a truck driver
Right, but according to the release notes the sidebar should adjustable now
who in IT drives 360km per day?
me lol
used to be less
and before it used to be WAY more
I'd have to halve my kilometers before I'd jump to an EV
you need to do that regardless what vehicle you drive
so, find a wormhole or otherwise fold spacetime
I sometimes take my bike 😇
most of it is work, a small part of it is privat e
If you can work on the train that's even better. No commute at all time wise
Unfortunately no
it might be possible for some customers but not for all
depending on what I need to do
Can anyone help me make sense of this? I don’t get why these two devices have vastly different kWh numbers when all their other stats are similar. They are both space heaters in my shed and both are plugged into the same models of third reality smart plugs with energy monitoring.
probably #1284966203026182206 who can help you
I’ll try there
Do you happen to have the E1 blind controllers? I'm wondering if its these devices specifically...
there’s this really cute home do sale down the street. Unfortunately it’s got no central heating and single pane glazing and it’s lacking insulation
should i put myself into a burnout and generational debt for it?
(pls say yes)
Do it, join me
you can apply for sustainbility grants to do those things
I dont think those grants will be really of any help xD
its from the early 1900s and its on a dijk so the foundation worries me
ISDE can only do so much :S
Buy the plot, take down the cave, build a house
Just don't be like me... I pulled up my upstairs floors, sistered the joists to flatten them and laid new hardwood.
At no point did I even consider insulating between the joists.

idk I'd have to check of that is allowed
might actyally be protected
If that's the case it's a money hole
As you may need to stick to making it like it was originally
that also means that you cannot get rid of the single pane glass lol
(yes there is ways to fix that)
utrecht?
Nope
yeah
used to work close to that
nice
my ex lives close to that
I dream of having an herenhuis but the parking would drive me nuts
@high remnant now I'm even more confused, you drive a lot despite being in IT AND you're Dutch who are meant to cycle everywhere? 😂
you are correct! I cycle a lot
but drive a lot more
the typical dutch person doesn't drive that often
the avg is about 12k a year
you're a truck driver
no my mother in law has lost weight
TIL we drive less than the average Dutch person (6000 mi / 9650 km per year)
who is we?
My wife and I
fair
I think the avg american does that on the daily to go to starbucks and back /j
ngl i think mean is a better metric but I could not find that
Speaking of which, two of the Starbucks near us closed and I was not disappointed since there are tons of independent coffee shops nearby
I don't understand why anyone was going to Starbucks in the first place
Heh
in the begining it really was only just starbucks
the last time i went there it was brown water with sugair :(
then people realized others would pay for beans
supporting local business is always better change my mind
starbucks is pretty old. remember when they first started showing up in barnes & nobles
local wasn't even a thing unless you were pestering your neighbor
or i guess if all you wanted was regular coffee.. lots of diners etc for that lol
Not sure if this is a good channel to ask a simple help question.. but as of today, my HA (running on a VM using HAOS image) has stopped installing plugins. Anything I try to install just sits and spins and eventually generates an unhelpful error in a modal dialog.
Can someone point me to where in the logs to look for what is causing this hang, or is there some CLI means by which I can actually see what's going on during the install process?
thx
I haven't driven in the last week
Often small businesses are shady and worse for the employees than the big box that have proper hr departments
not in the EU
In the US. Friend works for a mom and pop msp company and often has to drop his boss off at the bars putting up with lewd comments
yeah but the US also lacks certain labor laws lol so I am not that suprised
That shit happens everywhere
yep. Small companies are bad
yeah i’d rather have a monopoly with shareholders
no small companies are not bad, bad people are bad
I’m saying small and large
Can but larger corps usually have policy and process in place to correct it when it does happen.
Just a note: Companies having "policies" and "processes in place" is so that they can claim to give a shit about workplace safety. Simultaneously, we spread memes like "hello, human resources" that implies that sexual harrassment is just girls faking it for attention. Sooo... That's working great.
?
Policy and law only works when people bother to enforce them. Full stop.
that’s the first hr meme that popped up in my mind lol so
it’s not completely related more along the lines of yay you are now promoted to customer
That’s just Anne Hathaway isn’t it?
iirc it’s some anti-work meme from before anti-work became completely cringy
on the left, IKEA Tokabo, went out of production in 2018 or smth.
ont he right, my latest print. Spirits bless the Bambu Lab H2S and it's humongous print volume
haha
gdi
I actually have a roll of polypropylene because my friends joked that "oh you got a 3d printer? you gonna print butter knives for everybody for xmas, right?"
<insert rant about dishwasher, layer lines and bacteria growth>
yeah
OR a rant about micro plastics
can't ever be happy
Can still get them in the UK 😛

they’d stand on the wrong side of the cupboard tho
I am confusion
were in a home assistant discord, we all have audhd
I dont even know what I have, I got diagnosed about 25 years ago, we didn't have branches back then 😂
You got an ADHD diagnosis, some ritalin and told to feck off
I'm still waiting to unlock my next skill, the last one I got was many levels ago called 'hyperfocus on a hobby for 3 months then never do it again'
lmao
oké image this: my life is a runescape skill screen? 99 is max level and i quit at 92 for EVERY skill and never go back to it unless it’s either rotting or shouting at me
this is why i have ritalin
GO GET RITALIN
I stopped taking it 20 odd years ago as well lol, apparently as a teenager I didn't want to do it anymore and my parents just went 'ok ¯_(ツ)_/¯ '
also, my friends mock me because if we are riding our motorcycles i’d be on backwards going full angle through a corner whilst singing katy perry
this is why i take ritalin
my song of choice is CCR - fortunate son on repeat when going knee down round corners
Also.. we both have ADHD, both play(ed) RS/OSRS and both ride motorbikes
😂😂😂
I wonder how big this goes
hmm not really tbh, I bought what I thought was cream paint and it too yellow for my liking... haven't opened that paint tin since
I'm your typical blue/black guy
that has the same energy as which color crayon is your favorite taste
my go-to this year was can’t get you out of my head
Great... now I'm gonna be singing that for a while
lalalala lalalalal laaalalalaa
Doesn't everyone these days. NOS made an episode about that on their YT 😂
Andie Case - theres nothing holding me back cover is my song of the week that I can't stop randomly singing
i pioneer in this lmao
I did something in HA and I have no idea if it was genius or idiotic... lol
could be both
It might well be... I have a 'night mode' toggle so when I get up for a piss or w/e I don't get blinded by the lights. It caps them all at 20%.
Problem is it doesn't play well with other automations that turn on/dim lights.
So now I've got a script that takes brightness and transition as a parameter and performs an override using an if statement for when night mode is active. Now I have to use this override script in place of light.turn_on
well a lot of people do well with a little emotional regulation, who’d thought
i solved that by doing an if statement on a time
but i have motion sensors
Ah yeah, I want it to take priority on anything light based whether it's sensor triggers, buttons etc
ah yeah fair enough
It feels so hacky though 😂
i mean
idk
i just keep it simple because i didn’t feel like making it complex (tbh i forgot about it)
I tried to but the only options I could figure out was every single thing had to check this bool or I just make a single script that acts as a 'controller' of sorts when turning on any light
i mean i guess it works
Probably doesn't help that I go to bed any time between 10pm and 6am so I can't even timegate it haha
That's one of the major places I've failed as an adult, I get engrossed in something and intend to finish it even if it means the sun rising behind me
I've done 2 day coding benders plenty of times
I dunno... that would mean revisiting my automations from the lens of two people in a house
worth it
I was born into the chaos... molded by it
same
What are you doing you maniac?!? you're riding into oncoming traffic
Our clutch is on the right and rear brake on the left 😉
makes sense
pillions ride in the front seat and you put your arms around them to the handlebars
comes with GP shift as standard right
haha ofc
I know of a great song that will never give you up or let you down
Will it hurt me?
baby dont hertz me

Your cats will appreciate it
LR4 sold at walmart
that is actually good news cause sometimes you can score pretty decent discounts n in stre stuff
$600 for a Land Rover 4? not bad...
And for your cat!
We have been pretty happy with the LR4, has it’s quirks but anything so I don’t have to clean up litter
I was thinking about replacing our 3 with a 4 but they haven't been in stock here in NZ for about 4-6 months
And who knows how the release of the 5 is going to affect that
This is the content that I come to YouTube for: https://youtu.be/FnMKJGOM-2M
Today, I show you how to make three styles of onionade. A little throwback episode for y'all. I made all of these recipes. If you really want an actual recipe, I can make something up, just lmk in the comments or something idk.
Special thanks to Blane and Daniel for joining in on the shenanigans. I always have fun doing collaborative cooking wi...
Someone commented "this is like watching interdimensional TV" which was my first thought 🤣
I love onions so I honestly can't say I wouldn't try it lol
And if you want an alcoholic version, perhaps you too can ferment and distil your very own onion brandy:

god I hate making automations using door sensors
They're always super fragile
when they work, they work
when they break, god knows why.
Ok I am starting to really hate zwave. This stupid device refuses to include at all and the home assistant information is basically none
If you guys actually want help, #1284980040940912641 and #1284966617670881350 , respectively
I want to bitch.
my automation worked for months, and then broke for no reason. I'm assuming my door sensor has gone flakey
I know my solution. Throw out all my IKEA parsoll sensors and get third reality ones instead
I currently have live wires hanging out of my walls because this stupid thing isn't working.
🙄
Some feedback - the zwave log viewer in HA is useless if you have a chatty device that is sending updates regularly. All I see is those updates.
speaking of chatty devices my damn tuya zigbee clamp monitor sends like 5 updates a second
its insane
about to swap it out for a shelly tho
The Parasoll sensors seem to have an issue where they get into a leave/rejoin loop that drains the battery until you power cycle them
Doesn't happen to everyone, and it's unclear why it happens
Shame too because they have a kind of unique form factor
Basically as compact as you can get for a sensor that uses a single AAA battery
So yes, don't use them for anything where you don't want to power cycle them every few weeks
I am great for i stand on the shoulders of giants. Ive built a giant system, and integrated everything, thanks to everyone that made HA possible. I am truly greatful.
welcome to the fun of zwave.
A proprietary protocol that is.. well it behaves as well as whatever device(s) decide to behave? 😄
does my zwave door lock have a thing it reports that never fucking changes? yep.
Has anyone seen the latest Harry Potter, I don't get what everyone is so excited about?
House never looked so sick
Vicodin took its toll.
Wilson is adorable AF though
Hi all, i have a broken HA Voice PE (it doesn't turn on), where can i buy spare parts?
Buying bananas is too much of a commitment for me. I get anxious when I let a couple of days go by without eating them, knowing that they'll just go bad
i just nick them from the office .
'bad' bananas are great for smoothie. Doesn't even need sugar
I've found that organic ones seem to last longer for some reason
I've felt the same, but the difference seems marginal. I also try buying them green and letting them ripen at home, but then I don't want eat them right away and the stress continues 🙂
We reuse them for banana bread
Howdy. I don’t think this fits any of the existing support channels: I’d like to propose that HA take on maintenance of lru-dict. It is, like much of FOSS, maintained by a single person. They’re looking for a maintainer to take over, and no one has stepped up.
HA is one of the larger users of lru-dict
Our own project is a very small user, and we have all of three part time (very part time) devs. We can’t easily take on an important part of Python library infra.
Other than random water cooler messages, what’s the right place and way to propose this?
Select "Developer" from Channels & Roles and post in a dev channel
Thank you
TIL this exists
https://youtu.be/me23VrOBPZo funny to see an pursuit in my backyard
thats really weird since like..
.. they literally already paid for it
the zwave I mean.
the chipset carries the licenseing fees and etc..
unless they're going to cut that BOM part out in the future..
I mean they do have to develop the app to allow for zwave support so they are probably just cutting their losses. I also don't think August is long for the world
Similarly, I'm a little worried about the Nuki locks that seem to require that you go through their app to put the lock into Thread paring mode
how nice. you get to keep the business continuity issues of proprietary crap
I wouldn't have predicted that explicitly local protocols would suffer from gatekeeping from the proprietary app
yeah but think about those poor shareholders
Bananas don't go bad, they just become a great bread
requires input of additional energy and ingredients
it would be cool if they just transformed into bread
But in return you get delicious rewards
thats a matter of opinion
i've never had banana bread
banana bread is pretty good
Is there a known issue that's breaking Matter for everyone or something?

Exactly the video I'm watching right now 🙂
fascinating. RIP my productivity
Can't blame you on this one. Mind blowing stuff they got up so close
Literally looking into the reactor. I thought they only did they in Chernobyl 😂
how would i go about debugging an integration that is failing to add? I can't find any log evidence of my attempts to add the thing. the log file just doesn't show anything. All I see is "Failed to connect" in the browser or the mobile app, but I absolutely can connect, from the ha command line and everything.
problem identified: home assistant has lost a network interface AGAIN 🙁
every update to HAOS it forgets one of it's network interfaces at random. Very unhelpful
that would be #1284966540617449515
i was told some months ago not to bother. apparently, i'm far too much of a special bunny to be supported. VLANs are not something you're supposed to use with HA afaict.
they work, but HAOS just seems to dump one on the floor at random when it upgrades. I filed a bug and I got the above response.
who told you not to bother?
to get it properly working I have to inject my own networkmanager config into the HAOS setup.
dunno, it was on github.
that was my interpretation. so i didn't bother pushing it.
I kept thinking. What if you drop your phone in there
i'm far too lazy to spend weeks arguing on github or here over minutia.
I mean, no one here seems to be arguing
ok then. where do i report the issue that HAOS seems to randomly drop one of three vlans on the floor during upgrades?
i tried github a while ago and it just died, no one believed me "works here" isn't helpful.
it seems to have done it again when i last upgraded a week or so ago. problem is, it's subtle and you don't notice until one of your integrations just doesn't come back anymore.
so all the log files long since rolled out, and i have nothing useful diagnostically to give.
just the observation that i'm at 3 for 3 on HAOS upgrade -> random vlan lost.
as i asked a bit ago, no idea where i would go to turn on the kind of debug logging you probably need, and it was speculated when i raised the issue that this is a real corner case, so i'd be better off trying to inject a custom config into the docker container.
and in the mean time, i'll forget about all of this until it happens again because i have chronic memory issues, and i'll just click the button without remembering.
I would start a post in #1284966540617449515 as Rob mentioned and go from there. But it may very well be something not related to HA itself.
i'm going to eat, and if i remember i'll try and put together my observations there later.
this just got played on twitch and people liked it, maybe you'll like it too?
you have too much free time on your hands
oh no question
it's also my former job to make wiggly air go wiggle

Hi everyone,
My name is Afifa, and I’m currently studying at Bauhaus University. I’m working on a project based on the Home Assistant Green, and I’d love to hear about your experiences with the device. Anything you must have found challenging or any other feature you would like to elaborate on.
Thank you all ;).

Hi!
Can I ask for light switch recommendations for 220V/EU, no neutral, that I can flash with tasmota or ESPhome or should I open a thread in the hardware section?
I used the search function, but it wasn't very fruitful.
Create a thread in #1284966353798697001
Man, just seen that the Ikea Vallhorn sensor is on "last chance to buy" before they move over to Matter...
YES
No way that will fix this stupidity.
Any suggestions for something that uses AAA/AA?
Also I wasn’t even looking for help and you likely just fixed my issue
The third reality ones are good
Also can the company behind HomeAssitant hurry the fuck up and release smart sensors?
As are the ones I’ve bought from Aqara
Every time I mention third reality someone brings up Tuya and I don’t know why.
Third reality smart plugs have been amazing.
But those are like .5 AA batteries for the Aqara
So third reality is the go to?
They work.
The only thing I don’t like is they are big
Which is why I have a mix of 3r and Aqara
thats rather insulting lol
is that whats happening here? the date is correct on the calendar but it the description(?) it shows as the day before. this is the holiday calendar integration generating the calendar events and its like that for all of its events:
i checked the repos(frontend/calendar) for any issues about it but didnt see anything relating to it 🤔
hah i can. just not sure where to put it. if its the holiday integration, calendar or just a frontend part.
It's a little reversed of what I experienced, though. Yours is showing the day before, yeah? Mine was the day after.
ya the day before.
Ooohhhhh yeah fair point. Probably calendar, tbh.
Since yours is with the holiday integration and mine is with the calendar itself.
I bet there's 2 different bugs here, too. 😂
here are the date attributes for the next holiday in that calendar:
message: Veterans Day
all_day: true
start_time: "2025-11-11 00:00:00"
end_time: "2025-11-12 00:00:00"
not sure if that falls into your issue of a single minute off or not. still, shouldnt say "November 10, 2025".
this is where its at on the frontend: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/blob/b03fa4bdc5507838c0e470468d6e100eff67314a/src/panels/calendar/dialog-calendar-event-detail.ts#L79 but it must be something in the _formatDateRange() function: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/blob/dev/src/panels/calendar/dialog-calendar-event-detail.ts#L141
might be this: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/blob/b03fa4bdc5507838c0e470468d6e100eff67314a/src/panels/calendar/dialog-calendar-event-detail.ts#L153 if the holiday calendar integration is setting the event to "all day".
It might be!!
ugh don't tell me whisker broke the integration for the LR with the LR5
oh i think its already fixed but not released yet lol https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/pull/27689
sorry. ill wait till the next point release to see if its fixed. if not ill come back and post in the correct location.
Look here sir
-# sorry
ugh bluetooth is buggy
does the role overwrite the effects set on the new font nitro selection?
I can see the role overwriting the color but the actual effects part
1600 lumen RGBWW, basically the same thing my wiz bulbs are but with less bugs and a nicer connection/pairing protocol.
1600 lumen? wtf
The number of attracted bugs depends on the location and time of day.
typical bulds are around 800.. do you mean that?
Nope. I've always had 1600s
100watt rgbww is kind of niche
its no wonder you are having troubles lol
I suggest step down
are these flood lights?
Most of it seems protocol or firmware though. The bulbs will change color uncommanded on occasion in RGB mode. In color temp mode they are fine
For my living room. I have 12 in there. 2 more in my bedroom, and a few more throughout the house.
indoors!? 1600?
wtf
does your bedroom also server as a dance floor to a night club?
Disco party room 
800 should be the max for indoors
Bring the benefits of natural daylight into your home with our smartest bulb yet, redesigned to feature Chromasync™ precision color-matching as well as full-spectrum white light. Achieve your ideal color or tone of white light, then customize even further with ultra-low dimming from full brightness all the way down to 0.2%.
that's the US store though, not sure if it's available outside the US
60watt/800 lumen you won't notice much of a diffrence
and the bulbs will be more readily available
I should upgrade to hue, it's probably much nicer than the WiFi on Wiz.
hue is zigbee
Yeah
I replaced a burned out light the other day and realized there's no "replace device" function in HA.
you just name the new one the exact same name as the one you are replacing
Wouldn't that cause conflicts? Or you mean delete the ole one and then name the new one?
correcto
fascinating. So deleting a device doesn't remove it from scripts or automations....

It’s not even Android, I found out it’s Tizen haha
if it was android I’d be way happier
Friend of a friend has one of those fridges. Seems an awfully expensive gimmick
Yeah it is in all honesty, even the Alexa integration is half baked
I have a relative who has one
If it was Android it’d be cool because it could be used as a massive home assistant dashboard and with music assistant 🤣
This person basically used it as an over-sized spotify player
Yep that’s what my relative basically uses it for
I have no idea if that requires pairing a bluetooth speaker, or if there's one built into the fridge somewhere
think you can still side load normal android apps on those
You can’t unfortunately
Tizen is proprietary
it’s the same underlying OS as Samsung TVs
Not Android though I don’t think
its not but many packages can run on linux
interesting probably not a good amount of apps available in that format still
would have to compile some stuff
Maybe eventually some talented person on XDA will manage to get a root working for it and a custom ROM
samsung tizen has been hacked for a long time. my first 55" tv had it and we're talking 2008ish
Considering the Echo Show 8, Echo Show 5, Echo Spot (all gen 1) and echo dot gen 2 have roots now I wouldn’t be surprised if someone managed to get Android on a smart fridge lol
well if all of the fridge controls are through that thing, one may not want to do that lol
Totally forgot about that ugh
So if the screen breaks you can’t change any of the settings?
I’d hope there’s a manual override somewhere
i doubt it. appliances like that no matter thier cost are designed to just be chucked
if you don't pay for a factory replacement part
my fridge uses a small esp12 or whatever for it's wifi and thankfully the module had to installed on top of one of the doors cause it's not like they are going to use an external antenna or anything
I had to buy a factory of that part
Hello does anyone use govee thermometers? Your home assistant device would need a Bluetooth radio to get the reading correct?
That and/or a BT proxy, if you've got support questions or recommendations asks though, those should go in a support channel.
Will do. Thanks
You could think of it like the head unit in an old-ish car, change that to a new one with android i.E. and you can't access car specific settings
Yeah makes sense. Just wanted to note that most Android units do have a way to access the original settings via a CANBUS decoder that comes with them though 😉
Depends on the car and what settings specifically. I have several sport modes and settings that would be lost if I did that. Considering i have a Renault Sport model that would be stupid lol
Me with a car that still has OBD-II
|| OBDeez nuts lmao gottem ||
There has GOT to be a streamlined way to detect whether someone is at home without mobile internet
I mean there isn't, but there ought to be
Some routers provide a tracker, depending on the WiFi connection status of a device. They just say home/not home. #1284966582375813201 might be able to help (depending on your router).
Or a Bayesian sensor.
Yes, and I've read multiple improvised solutions, but it can't be this niche a demand can it?
something like pinging every 10 mins and no ping = away would work for everyone
unless their phone dies then they're gonna be in a cold home but you know
those are normal home automation hazards
The ping integration does that. By default every 30 seconds, but that can be changed.
you can do that iirc.
but some phones don't like to respond to ICMP Echo Request much
The WiFi presence option can be hazardous too. Some phones are pretty bad at rejecting networks for nebulous reasons (especially if you have multiple access points), and just chilling out on mobile data when they have no reason not to connect.
There are multiple ways to skin a cat. Each with its advantages and disadvantages.
I do want to Aggregate all of my presence sensors at some point
I don't have mobile data, that's kinda the point
But it needs a pretty high timeout
So far I don't have any that track me while I shower
OTOH, I'm fairly sure I can detect that with the humidity and temperature in my bathroom
Bayesian sensors are good for that.
bayesian sensors are a pain
why the complexity?
why would you need to track you in the shower anyway? Forget you had taken one?
to have an overall "is someone home" it needs to cover places I might spend a minute or two in D:
wouldn't tracking the state of the bathroom light or even exhaust fan cover that just fine?
No fan. And I don't use the lights most days.
also wrong way around. Lights should be automated, not the action to automate on 😂
on is on regardless how they are initated
well, yea. But if there's a reliable way to automate them, other automation can use the same trigger instead of being bound to the lights
well it's a mute point regardless since apparently your bathroom lights up like a cathedral from daylight or you shower in the dark at night
and no exhaust fan? gross lol
some homes have natural ventilation
Another solution would be not to shower. 
not showering was what I thought the original issue was lol
yes. We indeed have sunlight
for most of the year even when I take a shower
yea. Americans can't understand windows D:
we just better understand privacy me thinks lol
our bathroom windows aren't the same size as the wall
Sun doesn't disappear while showering. Noted.
😝
Yea. Does it hide when you drop your pants? D:
gyatt
ohh, that's how an eclipse happens
so do all german bathroom windows face east?
no
aren't you dutch? why are you answering? lol
mine doesn't
again, do you only get a couple hundred lux of sunlight..?
Maybe you need to clean your windows once in a decade D:
probably because there aren't rules about where windows can be placed and how much daylight a room needs
windows just aren't crytal clear for all to see in lol
anyhow its about the same way I have done my automation for the bathroom fan, hige spike in relative humidity = someone must be taking a shower
🤷♂️
works
yea? my bathroom window is frosted
maybe you get good reflection from your neighbor or your taking shower midday when good and ripe
I have NEVER seen that lol
or your windows are rather large as I previously stated
same here :P
I'd kinda like the meter by meter or so? It's a normal size for a window here
depending on the area even bigger. My moms is like 3m2
lol
its also an non-issue tbh
knowing germany is it tri-pane or is it HR+++
sounds like it's presence sensor for you then
unless your fat ass blocks the sunlight when in the shower then a light sensor may work lol
sadly the shower is in the corner, not in front of the window 🙁
waterflow sensor!
Door sensor?
why not both
if you measure water you can send Tikkies automatically
"hey you took a shower,pls pay 4 euro"
I've seen someone use it to measure the shower length and start the fan accordingly
yea, door would work.
Because he aswell didn't need light in his bath most of the times
And a magnetic doorlock, so they cannot escape without paying.
Locking someone in a shower is nothing a german should consider... 👀
don't worry
Not wrong.
I mean he was austrian
He himself didn't lock anyone in tho. Not trying to defend them either
FR i also think that one of my clutches is going bad
Whoever added Sections to HA, I will do unholy things
i've been pushing away redoing my lovelace for like a year now, and sections made it so freaking easy
Entity not found
its an aqara presense sensor. I've been too lazy to update and reconfigure it.
thinking about it now that presense sensor hasn't been sensing for a bit too long now lol
It's just showing it's presence
its happy to see you
omg my childhood. I'll start working on finding a free IRQ. Add driver for Creative Sound Blastr X-Fi PCI cards (#4331)
Some "innovations" really are gimmicks after all.

Have you ever noticed that I've ...
is he just saying that they're delicious?
not yet maybe later
also a dishwasher requiring a hot water line is bizarre to me
My dishwasher is on the other corner of the house from my water heater and I can't really get 120F water to it without cranking up the water heater. I use the "Added heat" option on my mine, which heats the water, but they still say you should provide 120F water at the inlet
I've considered adding a heated tank, which is apparently a thing
yeah closed boiler
yeah, mine does too, but GE still says you should still provide hot water
Hopefully the new eco one's taste better then the others
lmao
I also have a recirc pump to get it as hot as it can get
Just so you know this fixed it.
Thank you 🙏
to me its just bizarre and new lol
Stupid as ikea firmware is as reliable as their furniture
Some firmware assembly is necessary?
At an old rental my washer (like most in the UK) just took a cold feed, but the landlord had hooked it up to the hot. Glad I wasn't paying for that
Time to add my car to homeassistant now that my other issue is I’m fixed
Esphome
So yes
I guess it's actually automatic that it will heat the water if needed:
Added Heat: When selected, the cycle will run longer with heating elements on to improve both wash and dry performance. It cannot be used with the Rinse Only cycle.
Auto Hot Start: The ExtraClean Sensor automatically measures and controls water temperature and assures effective cleaning (120-degree inlet water is still recommended). Auto HotStart is great for areas where the inlet water runs through a slab floor or where the water heater is a great distance from the Dishwasher. Starting in 2001, this feature is automatic on some Dishwasher models; there is no button to push. A sensor senses the inlet water temperature and will add the appropriate time as needed.
both are true in my house - slab and far away
I guess "120-degree inlet water is still recommended" is maybe for lower power usage or time to heat the water

Would a recirculating pump not help this issue? Downsides is they are not efficient but it's the point of them
yes, I have one
but it still doesn't get up to 120F without making more adjustments to the water heater, which I would prefer not to do
I don't really need scalding hot water from my water heater anywhere else, and it already super hot to my washing machine, which is practically next to the water heater
Yeah, without turning it up more with it being on the opposite side of the house I am not sure there is a easy fix, other maybe a tankless water heater and automation to turn it up prior to washing and then back down
Super basic "babys first automation" but I figured out the correct ADB commands for Disney plus. Now I have a script that plays a random episode from the first 10 seasons of The Simpsons 😅
It's funny that so many people won't even get that reference 🙂
100ft of outdoor rated cat 6 for 16 bucks. I remember when ethernet cable was expensive
Is there a (good) way to sync an alarm of an iOS phone to home assistant? I'm living with an itoddler and I'd like to use a progressive light turn on sync'd on her wake up schedule (it changes pretty much every day)
before i upgrade, is there anyway i can keep my on disk log file? it's about infinity times easier to grep it than some god awful docker nonsense 🙁 Also ha core logs --help is useless.
did you even try and use google? anything further you will have to ask in #1284966582375813201
yeah but I figured there'd be a good way. I've seen this but I'm pretty sure it'll trigger on alarms that are off too, it's just all very hacky
imagine getting clipped by an police car lol
see even Paulus said the RPI4 is the best
lol i forgot all about the HA Blue
next one has to be the HA Red
I have a hard time understand jlo when he speaks
Inefficient for energy, efficient for water. We’re lucky in California because they’re both expensive
I got one in part for time and in part because it seems stupid to let clean water go down the drain simply because it's the wrong temperature 🙂
I think of it more as purging sediments
go 240v!
2kw water heater
Omg did anyone see that the latest build is contributing to deforestation?! || improved logging efficiency ||
@forest edge since middle earth takes visual cues.....
Making it a video is completely unnecessary
Lol
Like those dumb animated line graphs
well i came at the end, but i guess ill share - im thinking of moving my minecraft modded singleplayer world to run on my HA server because why not! i see nobody has made an addon yet but i think it's a fun idea to try
created by Newsom no doubt
ugh as much as I loathe the idea of shelling out for overpriced crap I may have to consider permanent lighting for next year
I hope your HA server is some Proxmox type shit with endless ram
Imagine someone nuking your MC server and you can't turn on your lights anymore lol
I thought there was a minecraft intergration?
thought it whole purpose was to remind you that you had no friends
square sheep can be friends
Great idea. Make it all blue
lol the whisker update to terms and services. I bet they are sweating that whole idea of a forward facing LR camera that gets recorded to the cloud
I'm sure there's also some market for litterbox porn
So I finally hit "fuck it" and bought myself a power bank big enough to handle anything I throw at it.
It may be overkill.
I'm still amused that it literally suggests fast recharge via two separate 140w USB C chargers.
I almost bought the solar panel to charge it, then I remembered I never go outside.
I have one of the 1.25kWh/1800W EcoFlow ones. Has been great
On one occasion I even used it to power my laser printer. Only power outage we've ever had in ~5.5 years of living here, and it was in the middle of printing character sheets for my partner's D&D game that afternoon
WAF skyrocketed
You can set a max ram limit for java servers
it's for an existing server, not an add-on that lets you manage a server running on the same instance
not sure I would want to run a minecraft server in a HA addon lol
thats for bedrock :/
ill have to make one for java
Sorry, I'm not up on all the Minecraft versions and lore 🙂
I have a buetti apex 300 on my server rack doing UPS and TOU
I do need to get an add on battery
Passed your saving throw there
ig ill have to pick up how the addon stuff works
That isn't even close to kill
They are just docker containers simplified
that's tomorrow/this weekend's mission
Now to send you down the plex rabbit hole
feels like it isn't
/run.sh: line 5: docker: command not found
:P
oh wait
I'll deal with it tomorrow. Too grumpy
oh thank god the graphs got fixed 😂
Just watched If I Had Legs I'd Kick You
Well, actually, I don't know what the fuck I just watched 🤣
I actually really want to see that
never heard of it
I saw some of the fx that they used during filming
state of the art, there
that's a good depiction of this server, with the "crows" watching over you guys
and the villagers antagonizing the crows
They’ve outdone Kubrick there
That's what happens when you feed the birds
I am running out of space to store my ISOs
That's not a lot of space in the first place
its only the active seeding partition lol
its a story
I bet
ok so scientist confirm atlas is speeding up and just confirmed it has no tail so it's velocity increase isn't from burning anything...
I may live to see aliens afterall heh
How difficult will it be for me to migrate my HA server from an RPI 4 to a Synology DS1515+ via Docker
The only thing that should change is the login IP etc right
not a whole lot difficult but you will need to move your persistent data back into place manually
What data specifically
Any that it stored on the mounts
Usually your configurations and those kinda things
Should i restore via snapshot
If you have low self worth, remember someone thought this was good enough at a 5 billion kronor new build
Yesterday was the most Friday feeling Wednesday
I can do it for cheaper kinda guy
@forest edge first 3d printing raccoon experiment is done, what do you think?
I think it needs a dash more cuttlefish in it
LOL Tinder wants to scan your camera roll, crazy
Crap there are simple no usb battery packs that allow usb battery stats been read from the usb
Is there any key differences between Home assistant OS and Home Assistant? Tried exporting my Home Assistant OS data (Backed up), and installed Home Assistant on my Docker container (Synology)
Rate my geese 🪿
what the devil
500M EUR?!
Yeah, my new doormat storage area
Magnificent
50/5 exactly what I needed today
I go feed them every day they love it
I feed all these ducks plus more at a few other small ponds at the same park
Plus I feed the hurt geese
This is Bitey and her two friends
I just came in here to post my favorite drummer mullet but I'm reconsidering
oops, did it anyway
They all have a messed up wing and they aren’t a part of the big goose group
But they stick together
The campus of York Uni (my alma mater) is based around a huge lake, so we had loads of waterfowl, the Canada Geese were never an issue, apparently they're non-migratory in Britain and it chills them out
This makes no sense to me
Can i install Home Assistant OS on a docker container on Synology?
Create a post in #1284966540617449515 - this is not a support channel.
Oh gotcha
yea i dont think the geese here ever leave they just fly from one pond to another and eat bugs
Why am I like this? Conversation with my daughter. 🤣
Is that a roofy?
He looks pretty high
euugh daaaad
has anyone else that LTT mousepad and is experiencing the rubber backside get slightly sticky?
ah, Consumer Goo
it's on pretty much everything, right? something about a softener they put in rubbers that seeps out over time and transforms an innocent handle or grip into a sticky goop spreader spawned directly from hell
pretty on brand for LTT, isn't it? I only hear bad things about their stuff
But you have heard about them
I have also heard of elon musk, skin cancer and low-fat products that "may cause anal seepage." your point? 🙂
My point? #the-water-cooler message
I see
all three are the same tbh
this is correct
but no its not the typical weirdo plasticiser oily crap
I visited and ...
it sounds like you're describing Michelle's guest house, which is, of course, a dumpster
time to start a youtube channel
I'm a sucker for reno timelapses
it's deepy, spiritually satisfying
😂😂😂
ya know, people do actually live in converted dumpsters. It's totally a thing
i have a face for the radio so
Don't even need narration
just me murmering and regretting my life choices?
maybe some wimpering and soft crying as I find out that the foundation is even more rotten?
wtf did i walk into
Do you know the annoyance of a smart bulb that breaks and burns out, only to replace and right before you throw it away you decided to throw it in another lamp and it works fine?
yes
mine is actually burned out but still does zigbee repeating
I left it broken for months
I moved into a 2-up-2-down last year that needs work so I feel ya. I had the advantage of double glazing and wall-to-wall floors, which not every house I looked at had
This did, for all of thirty seconds unitl the 40-year old boiler comitted sudokus
The silver lining was the sale took ages so I actually had a decent war-chest for day one. So far we've done a bathroom, plumbing, rewire. Plans are kitchen in new year, then I can decorate. I also bought a new water supply, as the current one is both weak and shared, expensive but I got mad
that is something I co not have
my money runs tight if I buy that property lol
I cannot live there so I need another place to stay and fix that one so I can at least move into that property
i have not
It's a long-running design show, following people with ambitious build projects, which usually go very wrong. It's joked you could make a drinking game
- They move into a caravan to allow the build to take place
- They say it'll be done by xmas
- They celebrate xmas in the caravan
this is why I should not buy the property
We're not talking normal house rennovation though, we're talking "artisanal eco home with weird materials and bespoke items"
the costs of renovating alone are astronomical
Mood, I had a plan to get a heat pump and use the freed up space to put a kitchen in but no dice, so my plans for an extension and kitchen have moved up, sadly this means I'm now in "wait mode"
i mean if i had the money
though this house is good if you want to skip central heating and move to heatpump directly tbh
This is all only possible as I got the house for Not Much™, and the bedrooms are fine so it's not like I'm living in a building site. Sadly I did have to buy a gas boiler just to get going 😒
My hope is to be able to do a housewarming next year, as there'll be a kitchen and maybe even carpet
aight bet
As this is an incredibly common house layout (the Victorians built them in the millions) nothing here is surprising to any workmen.
UK?
Indeed
This isn't a support question: Home assistant running via VM or Docker?
I had never used Docker so tried running it as pip but switched to Docker and it was easy
Not with that attitude
it kinda needs running water and some sewage :P or electricity
Oh, for the list of "Things that go wrong in Grand Designs" here's the drinking game
https://carina.org.uk/granddesigns.shtml
The host is aware of this and did sometimes play into it with the things he controlled directly (saying X about the build)
Not to put you off, it just reminded me
oh no I need to be druknk to buy this
allegedly my jellyfin is so populair that it takes down my internet connection
Update to the 5 billion sek mew build, someone drilled into one of the main sprinkler pipes today
Lol

Boop
That's some Chesire Cat in there
Turns out he's secretly actually brown
|| and brown is just dark orange with context ||
Grabs a glass o' water
Chugs it
Refreshing.
Speaking of cats, what's the state of Automatic Litter boxes?
Worth the pricetag or gimmicks?
Litterrobot FTW. Absolutely worth it
hopefully they didn't fook up the LR5
i contributed to core. i'm cool i guess
HAOS basically does this.. for you
the docker stuff I mean 😄
Rain collection, solar and you own a shovel right?
you need some sewage?
Just hook up a PC to twitter.
what on earth is this building, and is it anywhere near Uppsala? if so, I need to know the exact address to ensure I don't get killed in my sleep by a falling block of concrete or smth
holy crap Tdarr is the most frustrating software i have ever used
it has filters but they do not do anything lol
111km by car
Here a decision was made, wipe your arse after pooping or an ice cream. There is only once choice.
I wonder if raccoons get brain freeze
My dog had his tongue freeze on some yogurt once, now he doesn't like it anymore
@static schooner looks like a strong yes
If you’ve ever wondered if a raccoon can get brain freeze, look at the last two pictures 😂🍦🦝
