Normal setup: windows 7 machine on 192.168.1.246 can putty and vnc via powerline connector to router and 2nd powerline to pi on 192.168.1.108 and can also see homeassistant pi on 192.168.1.147. Today winows 7 has destination host unreachable on pinging 108 but can still see router on 254 and HA on 147. Another windows device logging on via wifi to same router can see all three....

#

108 is working fine and is accessable from 254 router... I Just dont get it.

#

win 7 machine had a dreaded update this morning... have rebooted many times and done troubleshoot on interfaces... it continues to see 254 router, 147 HA device and see 108 as unreachable.

#

108 pi also did update this morning when I reb

#

rebooted it

#

router connected devices shows 108 connected. it just doesn't seem to route win7 traffic which is on same powerline group as 108

#

the 2 powerline devices are working otherwise win 7 would not see 254 router etc and router woudln't see 108

Folks, using my USB dongle, with 3.3v, should my Sonoff basic LED come on? The red power LED is on, on my FTDA dongle, and if I hold in the button on my Sonoff, then plug in, I get no blue LED on the FTDA. If I don't hold the button in I get the blue LED. Flashing seems to complete, but then powering it back via the 3.3v FTDA, still no LED on the Sonoff, and nothing showing on my WiFi connected devices

wintry crow Apr 14, 2018, 6:40 PM

Hmmm tried switching RX and TX, that failed. Changed back and the flash succeeded. Tries changing baud rate to slower, got errors. Changed back to 115200 and the flash succeeded again. Just no LED on the Sonoff. Gonna power it up to the mains, see if it just didn't get enough juice from the FTDI to power up the LED

btw, the examples show an 192.168.x.x address, if you run the default ha-dockermon that would imply that anyone on the network can manage your containers, so its nicer to use 127.0.0.1

#

Thank you very much

light trout Apr 16, 2018, 7:31 AM

#

All your examples sounds like binary sensors would be better than switches

idle glacier Apr 16, 2018, 7:35 AM

#

but.. when we are talking about switches is a "hardware" where all the binary sensors are connected.

#

is that correct ?

#

or am I wrong?

Not necessarily, all switches are devices, but not all devices are switches

idle glacier Apr 16, 2018, 8:00 AM

Going back to the blue LED's, they were really difficult to invent, and without them we wouldn't have blu-ray devices. The bloke who invented them had to do so at his own expense when his employers stopped the project, but when he succeeded they made a fortune off them.

#

He had to sue them in the end to get any kind of real bonus, he won but had to use the payout to pay his legal fees, so didn't really get anything.

He did however win the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2014, along with 2 other scientists who did the early groundwork in the 60's

Open Reach recently put up the FTTP infrastructure in my area

clever mortar Apr 21, 2018, 2:12 PM

Ah, if you read through the details, you'll see it's not going to mean FTTP for everybody, they're going to leave copper in, this is just about the telephony component

@pure vine so I work for a construction company and we've just put FTTP in on a development. it's an interesting conundrum so we tell them it's the future, super fast speeds etc.. they move in, ring up Sky (or whoever) and are told that they currently don't operate on that network (in fact they haven't had a need or an inclination to installed the fibre switch gear in the local exchange).. the customer rings us up, tells us they want to go back to "standard fibre stuff"and we tell them "sorry 'mam that's no longer an option on our developments, however bt do offer the service"

clever mortar Apr 21, 2018, 6:08 PM

#

Hmmm, BT or nothing - that's a pretty hard choice 🤣

#

That said, for 500 Mb/s down, I might put up with them while waiting for other providers to catch up

maiden estuary Apr 21, 2018, 6:22 PM

#

Exactly, so I ended up having to try and negotiate with sky networks team as we were getting so many complaints.. We're the first developers on a 4000unit scheme, so only about 300 houses are built and occupied currently. Sky basically said ring us again when there's over 2000 people there and we'll consider it

clever mortar Apr 21, 2018, 6:23 PM

#

Somehow, with Sky, I'm not that surprised

maiden estuary Apr 21, 2018, 6:24 PM

#

Lol, yup!

pure vine Apr 21, 2018, 7:40 PM

#

Sky are odd, they are try and be special, like you have about 5 choices with BT FTTP including Zen

Also sky are rip offs for broadband

should be pretty straight forward I guess and can steal the power from there as well

well prolly a good idea to use those

orchid rose May 1, 2018, 12:44 PM

orchid rose May 2, 2018, 8:51 PM

#

I'll have to open it up to see how it's built to see what to do

#

My understanding of electronics is pretty poor, but what could possibly go wrong.. Other than burning down the building...

bold osprey May 2, 2018, 8:52 PM

#

well if you want any further help shout

orchid rose May 2, 2018, 8:52 PM

#

Is it possible to have the relay on the negative end of the circuit? In a three phase system there's no current there, right?

#

that's the theory at least, right?

bold osprey May 2, 2018, 8:53 PM

#

there is current every where it flows up the live cable and down the negative on single phase

#

on three phase it depends on how its connected delta or star but there is always current flowing in one direction or another

#

be careful if in delta as the voltage wil be close to 400v

orchid rose May 2, 2018, 8:55 PM

#

ye

#

but as the loads are equal the current should be close to zero there right? If it works as I think it does

bold osprey May 2, 2018, 8:56 PM

#

a 250v shock nips but a 400v shock bites big time

orchid rose May 2, 2018, 8:56 PM

#

I'll make sure I'll turn off the shit before I start tinkering with it 😄

bold osprey May 2, 2018, 8:57 PM

#

if you draw up how it is wired i will take a look and answer your question fully

orchid rose May 2, 2018, 8:58 PM

#

the one I opened up was three phases each running a resistor with a shared ground

#

the one I have, I'm not sure about, I'll have to open it up

bold osprey May 2, 2018, 8:59 PM

#

sounds like a star setup but sketch it up when you get chance I tend to look on here most days so if you @ me I will see it

orchid rose May 2, 2018, 9:00 PM

#

in such a case the only current running in the negative end would be the currency difference between the resistors?

dry cairn May 2, 2018, 9:02 PM

#

@bold osprey that first SSr you posted needs active cooling

#

even at 12v 20A it gets hot as balls

#

at 30A the cooler needs a fan

bold osprey May 2, 2018, 9:04 PM

#

@dry cairn ok they do ones that only need passive did not check the full details - I have 20 40A and 6 100A SSR running on basic back plate of the panel for the 40A and the heat sinks for the 100A switching and been working many years

#

but well spotted thanks would hate for the wrong one to be purchased

orchid rose May 2, 2018, 9:05 PM

#

some googling seems to confirm that it is usually a star setup in these

dry cairn May 2, 2018, 9:05 PM

#

i got that 1st one you posted running it on a 3d printer and it needs active cooling

#

i have melted one before 😛

orchid rose May 2, 2018, 9:07 PM

#

haha, gonna watch out for that

bold osprey May 2, 2018, 9:07 PM

#

you are better than me then lol I do tend to use a double rated SSR to the load as it does keep the temp down

dry cairn May 2, 2018, 9:07 PM

#

😛

#

well in my defense i was planning at 20A and then i swapped the heated bed

orchid rose May 2, 2018, 9:09 PM

#

can one of you say if I'm just flat out wrong in thinking I could avoid the warming issue running the relay on the negative end in a star setup?

#

still needs to be able to handle the full current ofc in case something goes wrong

dry cairn May 2, 2018, 9:09 PM

#

good question

#

i'd just cool it lol

#

i put a fan on the heatsink that turns on when the relay switches

bold osprey May 2, 2018, 9:09 PM

#

the star point is used as the neutral and can be used as an earth point but the cables going back to the star point will carry current and this only cancels out at the connection so yes you are wrong as for current to flow it has to have a closed circuit

orchid rose May 2, 2018, 9:10 PM

#

hmm, okay

bold osprey May 2, 2018, 9:10 PM

#

and you would be breaking its flow

#

I need to dash now as been on the go since 03:00hrs but check the set-up message me and I will find a link to explain it to you

orchid rose May 2, 2018, 9:11 PM

#

I'll need to get my head around it. Just started to understand what the point of a three phase system is anyway a few weeks ago 😛

#

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the help and ideas!

bold osprey May 2, 2018, 9:12 PM

#

welcome night all

orchid rose May 2, 2018, 9:18 PM

#

now that I think of it, a perfect 3-phase star system wouldn't even need a negative cable to run, so having a relay there would do nothing

Be sure to regularly, automatically, back up your Home Assistant install. There are various critical files and configuration options (like the Z-Wave network key), plus all your time. Hass.io has snapshots, and for unix type installs see https://blog.ceard.tech/2017/10/backing-up-home-assistant.html. Oh, and most important of all test your ability to restore regularly.

dry cairn May 10, 2018, 11:12 AM

#

they sound like crap nothing like the demo they showed

gilded dome May 10, 2018, 4:58 PM

#

they finally updated the routines as well so you can make your own instead of the pre-made ones

#

not that i need them now that i use HA 😉

shy comet May 10, 2018, 5:07 PM

#

@dry cairn yea the male voices seem to be less digitized but female #5 seemed good enough to me lol

#

the hot mic is def not avail yet as you will see the lights on google home stay on indicating its still listening

#

@gilded dome i h onestly havent played with routines yet lol i guess i dont have a need for them

trail crag May 10, 2018, 5:29 PM

#

I think they sound just like the demo. And the wavenet voices have been available to mess with at https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/ for a while now. The duplex demo was completely different.

shy comet May 10, 2018, 5:36 PM

#

i cant wait until the assistant can screen calls to get rid of robocalls and telemarketers and wrong numbers lol

#

that can actually happen based on the duplex demo too

trail crag May 10, 2018, 5:39 PM

#

yeah, those were obviously recorded phrases able to be remixed as necessary and intended for a specific task.

#

still very cool

I'm very happy with name.com - they do basic DNS hosting if you need it, and support 2FA (which IMO is a key requirement these days)

#

I actually use Route53 for my DNS, for historical reasons, since it costs peanuts

light trout May 11, 2018, 5:31 PM

will ceck name.com also, thanks 😃

clever mortar May 11, 2018, 5:32 PM

#

I like too that they have an option to email me on every login - for the really paranoid 😛

Route53 has a good API allowing you to integrate LetsEncrypt DNS challenges, do dynamic DNS, and all sorts of funky stuff I barely understand

I wish a "recessed" light switch existed. A standard switch, set deeper into the box. So that way I could have a physical on-off switch but buried behind a lutron pico remote.

#

My ceiling fans use the wink zigbee modules, so i wired them always on and put a lutron pico remote where the switch used to be. but there's been a couple times they've needed power cycled and it would be great not having to throw a breaker to do that

#

especially since the idiots that wired my house put 2 entire bedrooms (lights and outlets both) plus a bathroom on a single circuit

thats artificilly inflated

amber bramble May 14, 2018, 2:04 PM

$180 on amazon

i got one last year for around $130 i think

amber bramble May 14, 2018, 2:08 PM

i like my ubiquiti cam, but $180 is steep. Kind of makes me want to look at other options

also they don't come with PoE injectors anymore :/

dry cairn May 14, 2018, 2:13 PM

never used the injectors

amber bramble May 14, 2018, 3:31 PM

@dry cairn you deal with a lot of ubiquiti gear right?

@amber bramble I have a crap ton of PoE injectors for sale on my Amazon store...

amber bramble May 16, 2018, 12:39 PM

i managed to find a unifi switch 24 port PoE for MSRP instead of $200 above MSRP so i ordered it, should get it today

hoping its the model that supports both 802.3af and ubiquiti's passive poe standards..

@twin axle it only supports hassio and not regular HA?

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 1:38 PM

I think they're confused about Hass.io vs Home Assistant - given that Hass.io doesn't have it's own REST API

light trout May 22, 2018, 1:46 PM

#

Hold on!, Hass.io is not the same as Home Assistant? 😮 mindblown

willow widget May 22, 2018, 1:50 PM

#

@light trout Hass.io contains a Home Assistant Instance but is an implementation of it I think

#

so there are some differences in how it's used - some custom utilties and install specific config, plus some flexiblity limitations

#

but also some bonuses for ease of use

light trout May 22, 2018, 1:51 PM

Hass.io is more a "wrapper" for Home Assistant, to make life easier for those who want an appliance like experience, than an implementation of it

I am running HA on RPi3, looking for an upgrade. I like Intel NUC but isn't it overpowered just to run a HA instance. I have a QNAP TS-251, while running docker HA instance the CPU was at 95% so I don't want to go that route. Any thoughts are appreciated.

What are you guys running HA on.

I think I burned my SD card today morning.. And for the past two weeks I had to restart the PI due to the crashed

#

crashes*

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:26 PM

#

It really shouldn't crash unless you're using a mobile charger instead of a power supply, or your power supply is poor

#

SD cards should last at least a year even under heavy writes, at least if they're decent ones

#

Lots of folks have upgraded to NUCs though

steady hound May 22, 2018, 3:28 PM

#

I will replace the charger, but I believe it had enough juice.

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

2.4A minimum, able to sustain at least 5V

#

If it's massively underpowered you'll have a blinking red power LED

#

sudo vcgencmd get_throttled will show 0x0 if the supply is good

steady hound May 22, 2018, 3:30 PM

#

Good to know. I was using the USB of a plug adapter, probably that could be the reason.

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:30 PM

#

Yeah

#

Almost certainly will be

#

Those are generally 1A, maybe 2A

steady hound May 22, 2018, 3:30 PM

#

2.1A I believe

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:30 PM

#

Almost enough, but whether it can sustain 5V is the other question

#

Lots start dropping the voltage as the amps increase

steady hound May 22, 2018, 3:32 PM

#

There was RF transmitter and DHT22 hooked up on the GPIO's, may those needed more jucie

Almost certainly

One more thing I noticed is my logbook got useless after 1 day, is it common if using the default sqllite?

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:36 PM

#

Not normally after a day in my experience

#

Normally takes me about 5 days for it to stop behaving - it's the speed of the I/O (or lack of) causing timeouts I think

steady hound May 22, 2018, 3:36 PM

#

16GB SanDisk - Ultra 32GB class 10, is considered a good card right

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:37 PM

#

Yes

#

But the Pi is not exactly blessed with lots of I/O capacity

steady hound May 22, 2018, 3:38 PM

#

I have the smartthings bridge, there lot of mqtt going though it. Will try selectievely excluding stuff

#

Thankyou @clever mortar

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:38 PM

#

No worries

#

You can move the database to a USB thumb drive, that's what I did

#

It buys you a little more I/O since it's now over two devices

steady hound May 22, 2018, 3:39 PM

#

is it easily configurable to do so

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:40 PM

#

Pretty easy

#

https://blog.ceard.tech/2017/10/home-assistant-moving-logs-and-database.html

#

You need to shut HA down for a bit of it, and for the last bit if you do it you need to reboot

steady hound May 22, 2018, 3:41 PM

shit.. I am using Hassio is this possibile?
