ffmpeg has its own windows binaries/installer you can run, you don't have to do anything in python to install it

anyone know of a cheap 3g data only plan/prepaid in the states? Looking into setting up some LoRa sensors at my ranch about 50 miles from home and no internet on property
amber bramble
FreedomPop is pretty cheap (though slightly shady)

lol
why would you say they are shady?
and more importantly, are they the real slim shady?
amber bramble
you have to pay attention to your emails and billing, they like to automatically give you "free previews" of new features or higher data plans, and then bill you for them when the preview runs out if you forget to log in and cancel it

ahhhhh
oh well.. no coverage with FreedomPop out where I wanna put this gateway anyway

who was it i talked with about my rpi getting a bunch of undervolatage messages?

never happend but thats not the point, i thought i had a 2 amp charger but it turned out to be a 1 amp

so that may be why i got so many messages
rancid lance
seen so many users saying that it wont effect em but sooner or later it pops back and bites ya in the ass
just give it time 😃
clever mortar
Phone charger != Pi power supply 😉
shy comet
I feel like the sensor @rancid lance created should be default for users on a pi
rancid lance
it should mandatory send users noticications that are fucking annoying too
if there is underruns
peak cloud
@jagged mantle Most phone chargers should work with the pi, but they are not designed to. This is because they are not designed as "power supplies" but instead are designed to charge phones.
clever mortar
And if it's a Quick Charge unit, all bets are off as to what it does with non QC devices
jagged mantle
it isnt a qucik charger but i need to use a 1 amp charger for my ipad now, and by the way dont know if you know @rancid lance but for a device to quick charge there needs to be a handshake between the device and the charger before the charger puts out the extra juice
rancid lance
lool
jagged mantle
fact always win
jagged mantle
what could go wrong
peak cloud
Honestly, I doubt anything will go wrong. As you said, it is a protocol that requires extra steps before it engages further.
jagged mantle
and it isnt an quick charger but i said fast as a 2.4 amp charger will charge faster than an 1 amp
and now i need to use the one amp charger for my ipad and the 2.4 for the rpi

Time to go to the store I guess 😃

@elfin basalt Build or retrofit one yourself 😃
clever mortar
And check the component list for the things that will work natively
elfin basalt
Cheers guys where could i find the component list ? Just wondered if you had any preferences for lamps/bulbs that you found reliable especially RGB?
honest geode
ESP8266 microcontroller, some WS2816 RGB LEDs and an old phone charger is all you need
elfin basalt
Cheers guys will look at both !
honest geode
It is extremely simple and easy to get to work
elfin basalt
Might look at doing that for under cabinet lighting in the kitchen reckon that would look awesome!
honest geode
I'm sure it will 😃 You can use McLighting or Tasmota for the ESP8266
elfin basalt
Just started out with Tasmota and Sonoff so still learning although know ill eventuallly have to try !
honest geode
Then you are already more than half way to making your light 😃 Upload Tasmota to the microcontroller, choose WS2812 from the module list and connect the LEDs to the correct output pin and connect power, and that's more or less it.

@amber bramble I have google calendars for each type of bin (green blue and black as you asked 😉 ) and a recurring appointment in each of when they’re due. I have a template sensor for each with an offset of 7 hours. When that goes to on an automation fires to ios with two actions, remind me in an hour or I’ve taken them out. Taken them out switches on a Boolean (that is switched off when the calendars (grouped) go off. Remind me later kicks off a script that delays an hour then notifies iOS again. I have a morning trigger on the day that fires the automation too. The notify automation checks in the Boolean for bins out is on.
That complicated enough for you? I would put some beacons on them@to auto track their position but i worry they’ll go in the truck or be swapped with a neighbour and I don’t fancy training ai to spot if there’s a bin out as they are never in the same spot.

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.

switched from my nighthawk to ubiquiti.....been very happy so far

I have strange stuff like devices still receiving a static DHCP ip address when they shouldn't
@shy comet that is what I am doing, got a google cloud controller and just waiting for the hardware to arrive.

@fair monolith yea my nighthawk x8 died about a month after the warranty, luckily got it from costco so got full a refund and ended up getting a edgerotuer x and 2 AC Lites to cover every thing I need....im running the controller locally next to all my plex tools lol
fair monolith
heh nice, I got the UniFi Security Gateway so I can manage it all from one interface. I almost got the edgerouter x
shy comet
yea I considered the USG but it meant needing an additional switch and im already low on plugs where I need it so the edgerouter was nice due to passthrough PoE

Hey guys - long time no see. I was wondering if anyone has any good suggestion (a link or something) about setting up home assistant on a container in a QNAP NAS . I've done it partially myself (set up the basic image) but I'm completely stuck and oblivious on how to set up other stuff that need to run in parallel such as duckdns , letsencrypt , homekit etc that used to be like 2 commands on my hassbian installation on a Rpi3 I used to have
Alternatively considering I'm oblivious to the whole project and generally anything programmatically related , someone could give me the necessary suggestions and guidelines to somehow create a QNAP NAS version myself if that is achievable - I'd be more than happy to share it with any other person that might find it useful

arsaboo@aloknuc:/mnt$ ls -ald /mnt/4kmovies

Oh, that's interesting. I assume it's not really 000 on the server?
Maybe sudo chmod 755 /mnt/4kmovies will work

Now that my home assistant project is stating to come along nicely I’m looking for new faster hardware to run it on have out grown the Raspberry Pi. Thinking an Intel Nuc, or an old Mac mini? Want something with enough grunt to handle some cameras and smashing it with real time power consumption and solar production MQTT messages from my flukso. Any hardware recommendations?
unique phoenix
The new Quadcore GeminiLake NUC :)
rustic aspen
Cheers I’ll have a look
The raspberry pi 3B gets really cranky loading the history tab if I have my real time power consumption data, taking a couple minutes by the end of the day lol (so I turned it off) it’s just to much data for it to handle. I guess the other option would be to average the data so it’s less graph points to handle

@rustic aspen - I’m in the process of moving from Hassio on a Pi to running HA in docker on a Mac Mini - one issue I have found is that I cannot connect Home Kit to the Home app from Docker on Mac - not sure if this is important to you or not. I am looking to see if running docker in an Ubuntu VM fixes the issue
rustic aspen
@ionic sun oh wow thanks that’s useful information as I do require HomeKit! The nuc May be the easier option for me then. Hope you get it sorted!

clever mortar
@midnight adder The answer to any WiFi question is usually Ubnt 😉
willow widget
@midnight adder I would look at Ubiquti Unifi, Google Home, or Meraki although if you need more than the 1 free amp Meraki will get pricey
midnight adder
hope it is ok to ask this in here: I want to upgrade my wifi setup and would like to setup 3 separate networks: guest (internet access only), lan and iot (strongly regulated internet). Any recommendations?
clever mortar
See, you didn't even need to ask here to get some answers 😛
willow widget
The main thing you are looking for likely is something that supports more than 2 vlans and will mesh across multiple AP’s
midnight adder
haha, yeah, thanks @clever mortar
I am looking at Uniquiti, but I am not very knowledgable in the network area, so not sure what terms I am looking for
clever mortar
What to watch is that if you go down the Ubnt or Meraki route you'll need to pay more attention to what you're doing - they're way more flexible and powerful than SoHo devices, but that comes with added complexity
clever mortar
I'd honestly suggest you pick a brand, then go lurk on their forums for a bit
willow widget
Ubiquiti Unifi will do it @midnight adder but your switch and firewall will also need to support VLANs
clever mortar
Yeah
willow widget
Yes that’s right
clever mortar
Sorry, too long with Ubiquiti gear (not at home, yet, though)
willow widget
Buy all Ubiquiti gear though and you should have your bases covered
Feel free to PM if you aren’t getting a response on here as you’re building it out although it’s used heavily so I don’t think you’ll have trouble finding help spec’ing it out
clever mortar
Their forums are generally pretty good, in my experience
willow widget
There’s the added benefit that they hired the lead dev of HA so support is about guaranteed moving forward too
clever mortar
That too 😃
midnight adder
thanks @clever mortar and @willow widget . i'll do some research. Does the Amplifi HD stuff count as valid in this case? Looks like a nice all-in-one package
clever mortar
And one of the folks from pfSense I seem to recall too
midnight adder
yeah, I know @willow widget would love to show some support that way
clever mortar
Amplifi is different, more aimed at home use. It isn't as flexible
Whether it'll do what you want, that I can't answer I'm afraid
orchid rose
looks sexy though
clever mortar
It does, and the reviews I've read have been very positive
midnight adder
ok, to their forums then... thanks guys.
While I have your attention 😉 I am also looking to improve the security a bit and read about reverse proxies and cloudflare. What I don't understand is: a reverse proxy sits between my HassIO setup (including all kinds of Add-ons with their own web gui's) and the big bad internet, right? Does that mean I have to have those talking locally only to each other first, before i add a reverse proxy? I would like to only expose 443 to ip's from cloudflare, but right now I don't have any of that and in order to access the add-ons, I need to expose all of those ports to the outside and I notice a lot of unwnted traffic lately
so, I know the tern "reverse proxy" is probably what I want, and then there's nginx, caddy and traefik that I learned about, but not a clue where to start
clever mortar
Adding a reverse proxy isn't (these days with the new auth) isn't as big a deal any more in security terms, not if you don't spend time on the config
From what I've read (I've not used it) then traefik is the best for a Docker setup (like Hass.io). I'm an NGINX or HA Proxy fan, but that's just because I use those
midnight adder
yeah, I understand what you're saying with respect to HassIO itself, but I run nodered on 1880 for example, and that is only accessibly through subdomain.domain.com:1880
clever mortar
Yeah, so for that, a reverse proxy is ideal
You can have it handle the SSL too, and even authentication
midnight adder
but from what I read, it should be possible to keep all that stuff local and expose it all through 443?
clever mortar
Yes, it may take a bit of work, but it should be possible
midnight adder
ok, . I noticed this traefik addon: https://github.com/MrRaph/hassio-addons but it does not show up all the add-ons I have installed. Guess, I'll dive in reverse proxies next then 😃
clever mortar
You can add custom add-on repositories, ask in #330990055533576204 and they'll be able to help
midnight adder
thanks!
willow widget
I don’t know for sure if amplifi can do the separate networks - I’d bet it does at least guest and main lan anyway and it should mesh around the house when you have more than one @midnight adder
fair monolith
@clever mortar I could not get traefik to work for the life of me for some reason in docker... it used to work.
clever mortar
I've never touched either 🤷
HA Proxy and NGINX are my usual choices, Apache in a pinch
fair monolith
it was like docker was refusing to read the config... ya I am going to use HA Proxy or docker when I fix HA again

and you run it on a RPi ?

yepp
you can run it on a dedicated pi and stream it to hass
or run under hass direcly
i got mine setup under hass directly but im not using that much besides hass on it
not running MQTT or mysql or something else
just hass
and you can add local and network cams with minimal effort to the platform
midnight adder

I'm also using MotionEye. Have it running in Docker on a Linux box. If you are going to have more than one camera running through it, you are going to need something a little beefier than a RPi. I have 5 cams running on mine and it is sweeeet. Streams running to Home Panel and it works perfectly. When it detects motion, it sends a message to HASS that triggers a sensor. Amazing piece of kit.

amber bramble
@normal ferry did anyone create an HA PR to update the component?
normal ferry
@amber bramble excuse me but , what is a PR ?
amber bramble
pull request
if an external library like the one you linked gets updated, someone still needs to make a pull request against the Home Assistant code to update the library and/or components that use that library
normal ferry
@amber bramble I see, thanks for the tip! It is very possible that I'm way wrong in this. But for example I see in the HA documentation that a certain AC gateway (v3) has been recently supported - I know so cause I own a wide variety of Xiaomi products and I check this particular documentation page quite often.
In parallel I know that the library I linked has been around for some time. And my question was just curiosity as to why , whoever supported the v3 version of AC gateway in the official final release , doesn't seem to have taken into account this library which also seems to support the older ones (v1 and v2) (unless I'm wrong again and I haven't read the library carefully).
unique phoenix
@tawny tide Its small, powerful, is available as BT, Zigbee & Zwave version. Battery Runtime is much improved with the v3. And its relatively affordable 😃
On top its quiet and fast with its turn speed
tawny tide
I want to see if I can find some reviews on August’s door sense sensor capability... save me from having to install another sensor to check state
unique phoenix
isnt this also just an additonal sensor?
Just like the August Smart Lock, DoorSense is easy to install. You can choose to use a surface mount with the double-sided tape provided or a flush mount inside your door frame using a drill with a ⅝” drill bit.

On the plus side, it’s my adblocker and I got a few static dns entries for home
Aka even if the net goes down, I still have ssl into HA
hearty depot
Uh - wanted to ask it in thir forums if I can use a "hosts "file
fair monolith
You could.... I do it via a json file
I think theres some command you can use
set system static-host-mapping host-name host1 inet 1.1.1.1
commit
This will add a "1.1.1.1 host1" entry into /etc/hosts, which will be used by DNS forwarding.
@hearty depot there you go 😃
hearty depot
Cool 😄 thanks - My hosts file is about 2mb big^^ and I love it
fair monolith
I use dnsmasq for that
This is how I replaced pi-hole
My net has been more stable since
Rock solid infact

Next project!
Atm ive got a non functional Zigbee2mqtt and a stupid mosquitto broker to fix
but as it looks like i ll be done in a hour with this
fair monolith
Once I get my new AP, I need to do a lot of research into smart plugs
I must have ones that can do local poling
MUST
Most of them want the internet lol
hearty depot
ll I use tasmota as probably 80% of us guys here
and 3 osram plugs wich are paired with a hue hub
So Sonoff "plugs" and Tasmota - The other Idea I had is getting this cheap RF switches and adding a rf bride to either a pi or ESP
fair monolith
Well a lot of them
Osram Lightify plug is one
I have a custom HA plugin that will let me see those extra philips hue devices
It’s how I get my bedroom temperature from my philips hue motion sensor
And if it goes to the hue bridge, it also goes to HomeKit besides HA
I’m using HA for monitoring right now
hearty depot
Ive seen it a half year ago on the forums 😄
but I have to take care that everything is usable - otherwise my wife ll kill me
so i did go for zigbe2mqtt - want to get rid of the bridge
One device after another
fair monolith
Heh, I’m single so I’m living the fun life
My new network should be done next week
hearty depot
lucky you in that direction - aaah how much beef ive got because a smart plug had to be turnd on with the button
fair monolith
I would be like honey, look at your phone
You don’t even have to get up
When you come home, the hallway lights auto turn on
hearty depot
Thats implemented forever now ^^ I use the turned on lights as a alarm system aswell

hello
I'm caught in flash tasmota sonoff basic. Who can help me?

Hey just a quick question, does anyone here have the round detachable remotes for ikea trådfri connected to HA? I keep getting battery 60% on both and I was wondering if you are getting anything else or if it measures wrong or something.
midnight adder
Hi @untold cypress, I have 2, a motion sensor light and one of the larger 5 button remotes and they all seem to show sensible values. Not sure how often they update as I don't have a lot of history recorded (something I could do with increasing for the tremors to tend the battery use).

hey all, awhile ago I came across a post (think it was a blog somewhere, but could be the forums as well, not sure) that described how to setup a reverse proxy with cloudflare and it described in quito some detail how to setup ssl from internet to cloudflare as well as ssl between cloudflare and the hass host. But for the life of me, can't find it anymore. Anybody here has a setup tutorial? I have found parts here and there but I can't comprehend the whole setup yet

@trail crag You'd be amazed how many industrial hardware still use those things
gentle spindle
So, I got a question: How does one change the decimals of a value given by any state
pure vine
KiCad is kind of nice
if you zoom while over a component it snaps to it
@gentle spindle templates i think, lemme check
@gentle spindle so you might want {{ state.sensor.apple|round(2) }}

Hello to all I have a install question that I am not seeing any answers on. I am ditching Smartthings and my PI 3 will be here soon, but I have a Terramaster NAS that I was curious about using instead. I am new to all this so any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance. Feel free to DM me

@midnight adder I cant find a way to install custom software, but you can use the mysql package to act as the home assistant database

I'm running on Raspbian - no Hass.io here - for what it's worth @past sorrel
I've been using *nix for a loooong time, but I've no Docker knowledge (yet), so https://home-assistant.io/docs/installation/raspberry-pi/ works for me the best
I've got a bunch of "local hacks" for getting things working, that just wouldn't be practical on Hass.io
past sorrel
@clever mortar - let me go take a quick look at that link. brb
clever mortar
If you go down the Hassbian route, you get Raspbian with that, and https://github.com/home-assistant/hassbian-scripts

I did that same install on an old single core dell optiplex. Banged on that a while, and when I knew HA was going to be the chosen one, I deployed it on a pi. But went with docker vs python virtual environment.
thorn gull
@clever mortar what are some of those local hacks that you need?
clever mortar
So... I've got a mail server and some shell scripts to parse the emails for some file sensors, because the IMAP sensor is sub-optimal. I've got some notification services that are scripts to call other things
light trout
Dont forget commands like Top, uname, which.... 😅
clever mortar
I get my commute status by parsing an API and spitting the results out to some other files
Now that 0.77 has arrived I don't need my NGINX proxy doing auth 😉
I'm sure there's a few other things I can't recall right now
None of it is critical, but it's all things that would be a major PITA to do on Hass.io
Also, frankly, I'm not going to rely on anything that I can't fix
I don't know Docker well enough to be able to fix it when things to wrong
Like the all too common panic: interface conversion: interface is nil, not string error that cripples people's installs
thorn gull
Got ya. I have made several PRs to fix such shortcomings for my use cases so I know where you are coming from :)
clever mortar
I'm pretty sure I could get my Docker knowledge enough to build a container to do what I need, but at that point it's a small Linux container, and it takes the point away to some degree. It'd take a lot longer to be able to fix the whole setup when it kabooms though
thorn gull
The point of containers is that you don't break it all 😃
clever mortar
Uh huh 😉
nic: interface conversion: interface is nil, not string doesn't come up about daily in #330990055533576204 either 😉
Also, I have a long career in breaking things, sometimes even intentionally 😛
light trout
That error just mens the homeassistant container is not ready
amber bramble
I should probably take the time to learn docker sometime. Seems like it would simplify a lot of setup but i don't know enough to troubleshoot anything if it breaks
so I'm basically in the same boat as Tinkerer
clever mortar
It'd be good to get the docs mentioning that's all it is then, and what to do 😉
light trout
It May be some more to, but I have only seen it when I'm impatient an run the command to fast 😜
shy comet
im in the same boat about docker probably one of those things you need to just dive in head first and worry about it as it comes
clever mortar
My list of things I need to learn real soon now includes Python, Docker, and Kubernetes

@clever mortar last time i said to you the groups are dissapearing in discord, right? you said it may be youre connects, now i found out that the collapse catagory was on automaticly xD

Docker is just a different flavor of a virtual environment. On my pi I have HA in one container. Mosquitto in another. Portainer in one. Watchtower in one and HA-dockermon in the last. Each container runs as its own and doesn't know of the others.
Let me put that differently. HA is oblivious and so is mosquitto. The other three interface with the docker sock so they know of the others.
Also..... the HA docker image, is a python virtual environment. WOW. The tangled webs we weave. LOL
clever mortar
Probably because that venv is the base of everything
past sorrel
Most definitely.
