not hard to add it 😛

it actually does because of one super power. the chunks it can semantically add in based on your conversation or request can actual contain this exact info in a self hydrating jinja2 template. so in the injection you could put a jinja chunk that pulls the entity status and brifely tells exactly what it is so it already knows the state before it even starts to generate. you attach a sematic tag to it like "light brightness" and it can do all of it dynamically for you. so yeah, it 100% solves this, it allows you to add a custom instruction and set of data into the prompt dynamically only when its actually needed to understand brightness making for a laser focused prompt assembly

cloud osprey
#

I think you're missing the point lol. I don't have anything that reliably tells me the brightness of a room I'm in. So what am I feeding it?

like my office has several cameras tied into frigate so i have a custom assembly asking about my office and it uses vision analysis to tell the light levels or anything else i want of that room

@wicked delta HA95 is actually not bad! What a fun idea. How is the assistant supposed to appear?

you just move what you are working on all the time lol

and the work return is multiplied because you are just writing logic chunks to use as it needs

#

AI won't stop until it takes all the jobs

blazing parcel
#

basically, but in a way no one does.... slimming and only giving it exactly what it needs when it needs it instead of 10k prompt that eats itself

#

like you write a logic chunk that is tagged with specific semantics, its only like lets say 4 lines but gives a jinja template with filtering and data discovery and basic instruction and you dynamically and semantically attache the pieces as you need.

#

with it being multi tier eace piece is much more lean and you can use massively smaller prompts and sometimes elminate a whole tool running turn

#

difference in an 8b model on a p40 responding in 60s vs 5s and actually giving something useful

#

I wonder... I myself am looking to move away from Github, since it's owned by Microsoft. Was there ever any discussion about this in the Home Assistant community?

hearty palm
#

i mean i guess you could either self host something or maybe move to gitlab

#

i think that it was called gitlab

warm helm
#

They will just be hosted by some other megacorp if they moved...

wild spoke
#

Gitlab is indeed an option, amongst some others

hollow glacier
#

I’m pretty sure they get discounts or free shit from GitHub because of the open source nature of the project

#

The amount of money they’d need to spend to self host this would be astronomical

hearty palm
#

then i guess if gitlab is not an option they could use gitea

#

although i am not familliar how a self hosted option works

Microsoft sucks ass but leaving GitHub would be a nightmare

minor bobcat
#

If people would use AI for less useless stuff like which could be done by Googling we'd have less problems lol

although honestly i should not be that critical of using ai for code rveiw since i often do wit myself with docker compose files i make

just so i am sure that i dont brick everything

thanks that makes sense

grizzled gull
#

Is it a free class? Depending on what you're thinking you give out a esp32 c3 for people to tinker with

#

Cheap when bought in bulk

#

Is it sad that I'm consciously avoiding switching over to opnsense/ APs because it's a chore to re add all my ESP32s, suppose I could just make it the same SSID and switch them as I feel like it

hollow glacier

They said mouser donates esp32 and components but I don’t have a list to pick from yet

#

It’s all still up in the air

static schooner
#

and here I figured that you'd use Apollo ESPHome Starter Kits

cloud osprey
#

@lone dagger I have no idea where that would be on topic so I'll go with the catch-all for talking to other smart home enthusiasts. I also have your exact example in my house - a door sensor on my mudroom door. But a door sensor just tells you that the door opened, not which way people are going.

My mudroom door opens into my garage. How do I know whether they're in the mudroom going to the garage or in the garage going to the mudroom?

#

For me, I make no attempt to figure that out. A door being opened tells me there's a human there. So I treat it as presence in both of those rooms and have it reset whatever occupancy timeout that room has for when it decides there's no one there anymore and the lights should go off

lone dagger
#

Garage exit exits into the garage, House entrance goes into the house.

IMG_8417.png
#

We have a 10 second wait before the light goes out because of the way we move through that room.

cloud osprey
#

do both of those turn on the lights in the mudroom only?

#

wouldn't garage exit want to turn on the lights in the garage when people are going from mudroom to garage and lights in the mudroom when they're going from garage to mudroom?

#

or perhaps I'm not understanding the layout lol

#

also 10s is so short lol. We do not move as fast as you through the mudroom clearly

#

the 3 year old has a very wandering route for such a small room 😆

lone dagger
#

So it turns on the mud room lights when we come from the garage. The 10s is only when both sensors are closed. It stays on otherwise.

Now that I think on it more, though, having something on the garage door itself to help with the motion sensor would also be good. Not necessary, but definitely an option.

#

PIR motion sensors don't depend on light levels

lone dagger
cloud osprey
# lone dagger Yeah that is a dilemma. The only way I can think of solving that is with a prese...

@hollow glacier Yea I mean I could put two sensors in sequence sure. It makes it more complicated though and I generally prefer to keep things simple. My solution is pretty simple I think and it seems to work well:

  1. The door being opened or closed means there's a human there. Create a binary sensor that turns on for either state transition and auto offs after maybe 30s or so. Trigger the lights and gets them to the next thing tracking their presence a motion sensor or something to keep them on in the room they're in
  2. The door exists in both the garage and the mudroom. So it triggers presence in both rooms. That won't really have any effect on the room they're in because the lights are already on, it just triggers whichever they're going to.

All this works fine. My whole point is just the door exists in both rooms so doesn't the thing tracking the state of the door also exist in both rooms? Assigning it to one seems rather arbitrary.

# lone dagger Now that I think on it more, though, having something on the garage door itself ...

Yea I just use tailwind for this. My presence/occupancy sensors for my garage are:

  1. Garage door was recently opened (not closed since that happens automatically and doesn't necessarily mean a human is there)
  2. Door to outside was recently opened or closed
  3. Door to mudroom was recently opened or closed
  4. Motion sensors detected movement

These have a variety of timeouts but garage is considered occupied if any of them is true

weak musk
#

tailwind is pretty good generally.

cloud osprey
#

Garage door also has the "device in two areas" problem. Since garage door recently opened is also an occupancy sensor for the driveway area, which turns on the floodlights at night

cloud osprey
#

The blinking and beeping before the door closes is kind of annoying but my kid likes it so I guess that's a win 😆

I got the POE model but then got lazy when it came to actually running ethernet to my garage lol. plus wifi is actually pretty good there

The issue I have used every other way to attempt presence and nothing else actually works as well even combined with others. MMwave, PIR, ble tracking and sensor tracking

Would anyone else find this useful? Trying to decide if I should continue trying to develop this further https://github.com/rosstroha/hacs-ai-export. It seems to work as-is

Advice from someone with Unifi stuff; Avoid it

scenic radish
# last cedar I was like... WAT /29 ok ok OK

yeah so that's the result of me being used to having a separate management VLAN. Unifi essentially wants VLAN 1 (default) to be the management VLAN which I don't want, hence the /29 for what is only the router (and temporarily other network equipment for initial adoption, after which I move it to the management VLAN)

not entirely surprisingly, one common tactic in livecoding is to delay or obfuscate what you're working on so people (who vote for their favorite) don't get sated with your effect. peaking early is risky.

This is a matter of curiosity, has there been any discussion on the ability for the Home Assistant Admin to emulate another user's profile? For example, if you are managing permissions, you sometimes want to see what they would when logged in. I discoverd the awkward way the other day that my step daughter's view is way too basic than it should be, but we still want to manage certain permissions. They only way I can see about doing this is to create a test "person" just for this purpose and go back and forth between logins or two different browsers etc..

NASA's Artemis II Live Mission Coverage (Official Broadcast)

I've been rewatching For All Mankind and the modern Mission Control looks more like a work setup at a tech company than the smoke-filled room from the 60s and 70s 🙂

I just cancelled my Apple TV subscription after watching it and now they started another season.

The same day that the final episode of this season will also be the first episode of "Star City" too.

One after their spacecraft "Integrity" and one after a deceased relative "Carroll".

Are integrations on a daily reload/reset? I would like to know this since I’m noticing they disconnect and a manual reload fixes issues I have. For eg, my Lutron Pico remotes stopped working and I just went to integration a reloaded it and it’s working now…

Ugly SweaterPlatward: Then there’s the unsettling part: every culture in history has been told to look up at it, track it, revere it. Calendars, rituals, myths, it’s always central. What if that’s not coincidence? What if the “flat moon” is exactly what it appears to be: a constructed object placed deliberately within view, something ancient, or not ancient at all, maintained by systems we mistake for nature. And every time someone gets too close to asking the right questions, they DISAPPEAR

Ever wonder what'd happen if the Moon crashed into the Earth? No? Well Roland Emmerich did. He's not content destroying just Earth anymore. He can't be stopped.

so their closest approach to the moon will still be 4066 miles or almost 1.5x the width of the US

I wish this was a clearer pic. It's at 2160p:

they mentioned the live pics are potato quality to save bandwidth. I kinda assumed they'd dump highres stuff later on.

peak slate
#

They will dump higher res when they have bandwidth for it all

#

Also all the photos the astronauts are taking on their actual cameras they have onboard

static schooner
#

I'd love to see a hi-res timelapse of this camera view

#

the interior video is plenty high quality

Sounds from that like aiming it is a right bastard, but that's fairly significant bandwidth

Long gone. I'm sure they'll show a much higher res version

I don't see it anywhere yet, but it was from the camera on the solar array and showed the side of the capsule, the moon in a crescent, and the earth in a crescent far beyond it

Can I Overhear The Artemis II Moon Mission With SDR?

Several people have asked it I can hear the Artemis II mission to the moon with any of my satellite antennas and Software Defined Radio. I decided to give it a try! It took a lot of tries actually, but I can just about make out a signal from the vicinity of the moon!

Update on my failed JetKVM I mentioned a while back:
They shipped a replacement motherboard. that came with a screwdriver and a replacement screw set.
The actual replacing was fairly easy although the ribbon cable for the screen is pretty short and therefore a bit awkward.
Boots up connects to network (I haven't actually tested it with a system yet).
timeline:

8th march: emailed to report
heard back within 24 hours asking me to try some standard troubleshooting steps
11th march they agree its faulty and decide they are sending me a new motherboard and also get another email to confirm address for shipping
7th april: received the replacement motherboard kit

So about a month for a complete resolution of the issue. I am pretty happy with this outcome.

Credit where it is due.
