Will be nice to have everyone actually using my WiFi 7 APs 🤣

My zwave works fine as long as we don’t bring up the door sensor that decided it didn’t want to rejoin the network after I changed the battery yesterday

hoary canyon
#

Zwave is my favorite protocol personally

#

Been the most reliable for me.. well besides Lutron but that’s more a closed ecosystem

unborn merlin
#

except where its the more expensive option for any sensor and.. still closed source and things behave weird with it at times.. etc.. 😐

#

sensors I prefer zigbee though

Did you look at the size of it through? 😄
I mean it's good news for that putting 40 amps through it isn't going to melt it, but damn

big relays are large.

and also the wiring for it

#

Honeywell/Jasco has some new switches on sale for $25 a unit that are functionally identical to the Zooz switches which is nice

#

Scene control and everything

#

Can’t remember the source, but I remember seeing a smart relay unit for high current outdoors (like pool pumps) and it’s a chunky boi

unborn merlin
#

my preference for switches goes to shelly stuff

#

either a shelly switch or just putting a shelly behind said switch

#

because... control is mine

hoary canyon
#

I like to do dimming or fan speed control from the switches so that’s out for me mostly. Not to mention I hate non standard light switch buttons

#

I like the zwave ones because they look mostly like normal paddle switches

#

But have all the extra functionality also

unborn merlin
#

i mean you can put the extra features in too...

#

could do it with 3d printer too with more than 1 button if I wanted to.. but y'know.. mains stuff.. insurances.. probably no like and etc.

#

Like why can’t it just function like a regular paddle haha

which you could do in the US, too

unborn merlin
#

also here's an adapter for one..

#

look at the pins.

#

they're sheathed when it could be visible/poked

#

so you functionally cannot have that get shorted or etc.

at least on properly made plugs.

RCD's basically compare the current on both legs of the AC circuit and if its not equal (which means some power is going somewhere else) it shuts off

I feel like K-12 is still somehow expecting students to not use their phones even though we live in 2025.. lol

umbral cliff

thats because basic reading/thinking skills are in fact independent from phones.

I feel like if schools actually incorporated modern day technology into lessons we’d have a lot better success rates

umbral cliff
#

AI might be the push for it

#

Teach them that it can be like spell check, but shouldn't be a replacement

hoary canyon
#

instead they’re teaching math like we live in the 90s still from what I hear and having kids memorize formulas lol

They should be focusing on the application of stuff I feel

#

Yeah.. it just bugs me stuff hasn’t changed a ton from the pre-tech era

#

like schools have digital boards sure.

#

I just wish they’d teach stuff like life skills that so many younger people are missing nowadays due to growing up with tech (and how the world has changed)

unborn merlin

we'll get on that right after teachers don't have to spend their own money to buy supplies for classrooms.

so what before you even enter high school you hear that housing is outrageous so you decide to develope the issue everyone has an issue with?

is that what you are implying?

How do yall name your entities, including their IDs? I usually do the room name and then the device and then the entity. HA does like what Apple Home does and removes the device name if it’s the prefix of an entity (Laundry Room Water Detector Sensor -> Sensor, if the parent device is Laundry Room Water Detector).

But this is starting to make really long entity names, which seems annoying to work with. Wondering if I should only use the device name itself as a prefix (Water Detector, which is in the Laundry Room area), and then do the entity ID like binary_sensor.laundry_room.water_detector_sensor

#

That way I’ll know which entity I’m looking at elsewhere in the UI but the display name won’t be so long…

Hey I’m trying to install homeassistant into a Podman container launched rootless with systemd but I’m a bit stuck in the networking side. I’m not really certain of the most appropriate method to expose the HA container to the network. Do I bridge? Do I macvlan and play with netavark and pasta?

Finally, there are a few devices I want in here that I want isolated from the normal network and thrown on their own VLAN but someone in the forum told me HA can’t talk to multiple networks. Is that true?

anyone dual booting Windows and Ubuntu? I'm at the point where I'd rather use ubuntu over windows, but there are some apps that I haven't found a replacement for so I"d like the option of at least launching windows when I need it.

#

I'm looking for a guide if anyone knows of a good one.

scenic radish
#

Yeah I am

#

I don't know of a good guide, but I do remember that it's easier to install Windows first and then Ubuntu

#

So I did end up wiping my Ubuntu install which wasn't a huge deal because I just backed up what I needed

#

Windows expects to be the only OS, so having one already installed makes things difficult

weak musk
#

I've got windows installed already, just trying to confirm that i"m not going to cause any issues by not setting something there first

#

which seems probably

#

probable*

scenic radish
#

Nah you should be fine. You'll likely need to disable secure boot though (but that's a BIOS thing)

weak musk
#

oh that's a good call.

scenic radish
#

But yeah, once you install Ubuntu on its own partition, boot into Ubuntu and run update-grub and it should see the Windows install

#

You'll then want to change your default boot option to Ubuntu instead of Windows boot manager

#

Is that because you had to compile the kernel module for it? Because you can self-sign modules and load the "MOK" (Machine Operator Key) into the UEFI to be accepted.
Ubuntu and most other secure boot supporting distros have an automatic mechanism for that these days, because you're more or less forced to do it if you use Nvidia GPUs

oh duh

yep, that would indeed be the reason

i remember nothing other than it was a bitch and a half to get working

why does the shelly integration have a hard bluetooth dependancy? shelly's can use bluetooth but its not a requirement. they supports lots of different radios, including wifi

#

so fun fact, GM actually built that kind of thing into my car, a first gen Bolt EV, as well, but never actually built the other side of it. so the things that came after it can do this, but mine was unintentionally left out.

Its not all good though. they did have the ability to sell BS onstar data off my car to insurance companies. so that was a fun lawsuit to watch. -_-

There’s an article I read a while ago with a guy who got his LexisNexis reports and it was like 300 pages of location data and other history

people that keep old computers around can likely install HA 🙂

steel pumice
dawn badge
#

also if they say they want to integrate x device. you look it up and find that it works with an integration then the week after that company pushes a firmware update which permanently breaks the integration then they are not going to care about that. all they know is that you said it would work and a week later it doesn't.

#

its a very small and specific customer base that knows that they want home assistant but cant set it up themselves. it does exist but you may have to travel a bit to get to customers and then that means your travel for support is bigger too.

also depends on your skills. If you are a qualified electrician and can do work on integrating a bunch of things on mains, you'll probably have a different customer base than if you mostly do software and gadgets

Right now, the non-techy person doesn’t care about home assistant. Hell, the average person doesn’t even understand what true home automation is.

but the current gas furnace is pretty new, so I don't want to mess with anything but radiators

I think part of the issue I had with the valves I had was their schedule

What system do they use?

For the schedule

#

connectivity? I think they were all on zigbee
physically? Looks like a solenoid, but I suspect a motor and some worm shaft to make it linear

🤷 that was part of the issue
I think Z2M gained the capability to program some of the ones I had over time
didn't help that I had a mix.Just bought some when they had some discount offer D:

weak musk
#

Oh. I was wondering how there is a schedule outside of HA. But I think I follow.

glacial knot
#

yea, the devices are actually designed to run some basic schedule on them. Not on their respective hubs

#

and it just doesn't abstract well to HA/Z2M entities
so I think the way they got exposed was a start-time, end-time per day D:

I've been searching this discord quite a bit and found lots of people who have already-existing motorized blinds that they want to automate with Home Assistant.

But I'm in the unique position where none of my blinds are automated and I'd like them to be, but I'd really want to choose the easiest to automate product on the market. Does anyone have blind suggestions if I'm coming from a blank slate?

I created a PR in the ha core repo with a really small change that adds a really good feature.
Everything is ready, but there are still 3 checks pending. (I have limited experience with GitHub checks.)

(How) Can I confirm them? What's the next step so that the PR can be merged as quickly as possible? (The entire PR only changes 34 lines of code.)

hey all, i want to get a new router for myself since my one is just an old isp provided one, but i want to make sure the router is good for HA - are mesh routers good to get? i've seen a few deals on them lately that could be good. also does anyone have any recommendations for brands or routers in generals? i'm in aus so may not have access to all the same stuff, but if i have something to look for, i can see what i can find

forest edge
#

as long as it allows you to access the internet and other internal network devices it will be fine for HA

jagged moon
#

If you need to cover a wide area and cant do wiring between APs, do mesh. otherwise, dear god, run from mesh.

hybrid dust
#

even if it's a mesh system? i've never had a mesh system before so just wanted to make sure it'd work if i went that way - i have a bunch of shelly relays running locally but over wifi for HA reasons

jagged moon
#

honestly, I like the old fashoned approach of placing a single decent AP central to the structure

forest edge
#

being mesh has no impact in terms of it working with home assistant

#

mesh is just multiple devices working together to extend range

hybrid dust
#

i have a central point for my current router, but here in aus we can't do our own electrical work/wiring, so if i went with a single thing it'd need to use the current point

jagged moon
#

you can cover a decent radius with a single AP anymore. You'll make less noise for neighboring networks with fewer radios. mesh is inconsiderate IMO

#

really? not even low voltage?

#

you arent feeding mains to anything

hybrid dust
jagged moon
#

dude nothing networking related is done at mains

hybrid dust
#

also i should have mentioned earlier but i also have a zigbee network - not sure if that changaes things because of interference between them?

jagged moon
#

even PoE is safe no matter how bad you screw it up (ask me how I know, hehe)

tidal bronze
#

Run cable CAT5/6, mesh is not ideal. Multi AP is the best way to go.

hybrid dust
#

what are some examples of multi AP setups? i'm not hugely tech savvy when it comes to this side of things so not sure what to look for

tidal bronze
#

I am happy with UniFi. Pick your poison and build up on it.

jagged moon
#

2 rules for networking gear that apply to literally every deployment:

  • if it needs the cloud, it has an expiration date. yeet it into the sun and get something else.
  • you probably dont need the performance you think you do. stability matters. peak wifi speeds arent that important honestly
hybrid dust
#

yeah, for all our HA wifi stuff we've tried to go local where we can for exactly that reason

jagged moon
#

wifi 5 is the oldest I would consider buying. 6 is still fine. 7 is teh fancy

ocean oar
#

I will point out in reference to the second point, there can be a large disparity in speed with mesh systems depending on if you're connected to the root node, or a satellite

#

The one my partner's parents have you can get either ~900Mbps or ~130Mbps depending on where in the mesh you are

jagged moon
tidal bronze
#

Wired backhaul always.

jagged moon
#

mesh systems are good for difficult environments you dont mind making more noise in, like weird condos that have plaster and lathe walls

#

that metal mesh is horrible

#

and on the plaster and lathe buildings, at least up here, they throw metal mesh in everywhere. its a patchwork of RF horrors

#

plus some of those are so old you really dont want to cut into things to run lines since a lot of plaster used asbestos back then around here. I dont know how that is in australia

#

anyways, consider it wifi for boomers

Doesn't it sync to your phone to keep time?
Also its earlier than whatever clock that is, wouldn't it be making you wake up late instead of early

minor bobcat
#

You are right

#

My brain isn't braining

#

I somewhat panicked because my dog got up but my alarm didn't go off yet. I thought i was late...

#

Also my car battery is probably dying @high remnant

Ok so must not be a feature. Thanks for confirming

I have a soil sensor that is doing this, do you suppose this is reflecting an actual hydrodynamic phenomenon? 🤔 It's in a potted plant and the sudden rise is me watering it

#

low is 27% peak 83%

#

Like could this be somehow like the glug glug of an upside-down water bottle? 🤔

#

in slow-motion (the horizontal from the watering to the edge is just over a day)

#

If the surrounding downward curve seemed part of one downward line, like, say, in this example, I would be writing it off as sensor error

Here are the last 14 days for context

Btw this is one of my favourite things about smart home stuff, the chance to observe quirks that you would otherwise not, and wonder about them

I reckon if you put that side by side with a temperature plot you might get your answer

That particular plant has been banished outside due to water breaching four layers of containment to reach the wood floor

Recently joined the Shelly forums to ask a question there. Their are-you-a-robot question is entertaining: they ask you the color of a particular product. Google and DuckDuckGo AI insist said object is white. Going to the product page shows that it is actually blue.

Classic AI. Setting the world on fire to give wrong answers

#

I imagine they're feeding the wrong answers with something like white-on-white text or something inside comments that only the AI will see.

no it simply doesn’t know

it just puts words and letters in a row

I've organized shit to a weirdly organized degree as well

#

And I have diagnosed ADHD

#

For some reason I'll organize something random but everything else is completely disorganized

#

one of the criteria for ADHD is "hyperfocus"

#

I'll hyperfocus and sort some dumb shit

#

Hell, I have a living dex in pokemon home ordered by region

#

honestly, my entire foray into Home Assistant can be categorized as "hyperfocus" and "therapeutic nesting"
