Hi guys, kinda off topic but I need help with this.
I would like to track the prices of certain websites (50-100 pages total) on every couple of hours and get a notifications if there is a change, any idea how can I do it?

vague ginkgo
#

Depends on the website, some websites have IFTTT support. I used it for BestBuy

@humble pond hey there, just setting up the tensorflow image_processing component. I am seeing this yaml 2018-11-10 12:43:17 WARNING (Thread-5) [homeassistant.components.image_processing.tensorflow] No OpenCV library found. TensorFlow will process image with PIL at reduced resolution. 2018-11-10 12:43:17 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.image_processing] Error while setting up platform tensorflow Traceback (most recent call last): File "/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/homeassistant/helpers/entity_platform.py", line 128, in _async_setup_platform SLOW_SETUP_MAX_WAIT, loop=hass.loop) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/asyncio/tasks.py", line 400, in wait_for return fut.result() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/asyncio/futures.py", line 293, in result raise self._exception File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/concurrent/futures/thread.py", line 55, in run result = self.fn(*self.args, **self.kwargs) File "/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/homeassistant/components/image_processing/tensorflow.py", line 127, in setup_platform detection_graph = tf.Graph() AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'Graph'

#

the pip3 installation of tensorflow was successful, and I've followed pretty much all the steps documented.

humble pond
#

@last plaza - what is your setup like? Is it a venv? If so, did you do the install with the venv active?

last plaza
#

yes, it is a venv on Ubuntu @humble pond

#

yes, I installed tensor flow inside venv

humble pond
#

That error makes it look like TensorFlow didnโ€™t get installed correctly. Can you try to install it again with pip?

last plaza
#

I did several times actually ๐Ÿ˜ƒ both with pip3 and pip... inside venv as you can see in the pic above. It says, all the requirements are met.

humble pond
#

Uninstall it and try pip3 install tensorflow==1.11.0

#

I havenโ€™t tested with 1.12 yet. There may be some breaking changes. If that works, Iโ€™ll update the docs.

๐Ÿคž let me restart and see ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

are there any known issues with 1.12.0?

humble pond
#

It wasnโ€™t released when I worked on the component. I think it must have just come out.

#

I wouldnโ€™t put it past google to release a breaking change in a minor version though.

last plaza
#

@humble pond Thank you so much!!! โ™ฅ

humble pond
#

Thanks. Iโ€™ll open a PR to update the documentation when I get the chance.

last plaza
#

I am going to have to figure out a way to train it now ๐Ÿ˜‰ Beautiful work by the way... I was working with arsaboo earlier to write some scripts for him, I wanted to wait until it becomes official!

odd mason
#

@last plaza how are u using this component?

last plaza
#

@odd mason I can share it - it follows pretty much like other image_processing components, but has different ways of training and options

#

I used opencv, machinebox/facebog and tagbox so far....

#

@humble pond I still see 2018-11-10 15:10:53 WARNING (Thread-4) [homeassistant.components.image_processing.tensorflow] No OpenCV library found. TensorFlow will process image with PIL at reduced resolution. is that okay?

humble pond
#

Yeah. It just means that you donโ€™t have the openCV python bindings installed.

last plaza
#

I'd prefer it to process at the default resolution, I got plenty of power on the hardware side.. my HA is running on Dell Poweredge Server

#

I can scale up if needed ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

humble pond
last plaza
#

I thought I had opencv before... it must be my old setup... let me set it up.. thanks!

Thanks!

odd mason
#

@last plaza that is some sadist shit right there

last plaza
#

@odd mason I've been called many things before, sadist is new! I'll add it my list ๐Ÿ˜›

#

basically thetensorflow component parses the camera feed/image and creates a nice json with scores and boxes drawn around objects it found. That jinja code parses it and announces in my house using TTS

odd mason
#

Good Lord

last plaza
#

lol - thanks to @humble pond

humble pond
#

Why are you looking for > 0.05 in the box? You could also filter down the area for the camera in the config so it doesn't even get returned if you wanted to ignore it.

last plaza
#

I am looking for anything that is big in size - usually the cars in my driveway look bigger in the image than the cars on driveway... I haven't explored the config yet... this is a script I wrote for @serene mortar before... I was just trying to see if the json structure changed or not.

#

My next step is to explore config options @humble pond

humble pond
#

ah, got it

last plaza
#

by the way, I see these in the log ```

humble pond
#

The area options in the config are pretty powerful. You can define a bounding area for each category so it ignores cars on the street, but still reports ones in your driveway, but alerts trucks/busses in the street.

last plaza
#

I started to see them a lot... just warnings!

#

@humble pond that's fantastic! I'll go read more about it now...

humble pond
#

The model gets loaded in memory on the first run, and takes a while to process. If you still see that on subsequent scans, you may need to pick a different model.

last plaza
#

ah! I see. I picked the one that is recommended for a typical server... not the RPi one

#

I am using faster_rcnn_inception_v2_coco_2018_01_28

humble pond
#

Run another manual scan and look at the log. Is it still showing based on the timestamp?

#

It only takes a little over 1 second to process on my NUCi5.

#

But the first run takes ~20 seconds

#

as it loads the model in memory.

#

Using the same model.

last plaza
#

I see... my server has plenty of resources - is there a specific model you recommend?

humble pond
#

Stick with the rcnn inception model unless you notice it start missing objects.

#

If it's not detecting things you want/need, pick a model with a higher mAP accuracy score from the zoo.

last plaza
#

ok... I see!

humble pond
#

But the more accurate models are slower to run.

#

So if you pick one that takes 10 seconds to process, your TTS will be pretty much useless.

last plaza
#

yup - makes sense!

#

lol

#

I am going todisable my machinebox and other image_processing ones.. to free up some of the processing

#

does tensorflow process images all the time or only when something changes in the image?

humble pond
#

It's recommended to bump it up and call the scan service on motion if your cameras report that back to HA.

last plaza
#

ok.. I see if it takes more than 10 seconds, it is going to play catch up game

#

@humble pond I'm sure you are keeping an eye on the issues/PRs. An easy way for you would be to run the command ~subscribe image_processing here in discord

#

go ahead and try it here

humble pond
#

~subscribe image_processing

last plaza
#

now, every time someone does a PR or enters an issue, you get a DM from hassbot -- something like this

#

that's weird... it is supposed to say that the command is successful...

@humble pond @last plaza TF is working well. Still have to work on the automations

wise sorrel
#

Any one here come from openhab. I think ing for moving to HA?

last plaza
#

@wise sorrel I did... best decision ever!

wise sorrel
#

@skalavala what is HaBpanel in HA

#

@last plaza

last plaza
#

there are no equivalent panels in HA. There are components that have UI. as soon as you setup a component, UI elements will automatically show up on dashboard.

#

you can re-arrange the way you like them, group them, create multiple tabs/views...etc

#

not sure if I answered your question @wise sorrel

wise sorrel
#

How easy was it to move over I use most MQTT

vapid mirage
#

^^ Noob question: So MQTT just broad casts across the local wifi and relies on the device to look for specific commands?

last plaza
#

MQTT is extremely easy to configure - specify the IP, port, you are all done. It has discovery mode, it can scan your network and automatically show you what you can configure, and automation platform is extremely powerful @wise sorrel

#

@vapid mirage no. It uses publish-subscribe pattern. Once you publish a message, it goes into a topic, and whoever subscribed to that topic, they get a copy of it

vapid mirage
#

and how does one subscribe? it just listens for /xxx/yyyy ?

last plaza
#

@vapid mirage the subscriber has to specify which topic they are interested in. there are some good videos on youtube on mqtt if you like to watch them

vapid mirage
#

yea - i guess i have to... everything you said is how i pictured it happening. I've verified that the broker is broadcasting but the EPS doesn't seem to listen xD

#

although - i feel like i'm better off starting small and puzzling this together 1 by 1.

last plaza
#

Remember, a few hours of trial and error can save you several minutes of watching videos about mqtt.

dry cairn
#

or reading the manual

vapid mirage
#

well i started with youtube - but its a little old and HA is moving too fasttttt

wise sorrel
#

@last plaza how do I check if HA has an binding for my Fronius inverter. An if not is there away to make a bridge or something similar in home assistant

dry cairn
#

what kind of fornicator?

last plaza
#

@wise sorrel you can check in the components section of HA. If it is not supported, and there is some api available, it is usually very easy to integrate

wise sorrel
#

@dry cairn are you tat to me?

last plaza
#

@wise sorrel I have not heard of that before, and I doubt we have an existing integration with that... building a custom component is fairly straightforward

wise sorrel
#

I think I back up my openhab an try HA ๐Ÿ‘Œ right now thanks @last plaza . Will let you know how it goes.

last plaza
#

@wise sorrel absolutely! good luck!

wise sorrel
#

P.s were about live @last plaza i in Australia

hey, any mods around for a general chitchat?

last plaza
#

@warm swift need something?

warm swift
#

maybe

#

Im trying to figure out where HA

#

sits

#

and why

#

I have smartthings

#

which is OK...

#

ish

#

and eventghost for windows

#

and tasker for android

#

its like a mass mix of all things HA

#

I kinda have them working togeth

#

er

#

but its a mess

#

What does HA do differnet?

quiet cobalt
#

thanks @last plaza got him playing now.

last plaza
#

@warm swift that's a loaded question, you could have condensed it into one sentence. Best would be to go to https://www.home-assistant.io/ web site and watch some of the videos on YouTube.

warm swift
#

lets simplify

#

Tough question, but why bother with HA vs webcore?

#

perhaps not such a simple question....

quiet cobalt
#

@last plaza HAVE YOU WATCHED ANY OF MK smart house video

last plaza
#

@quiet cobalt I have not... links?

quiet cobalt
last plaza
#

yes - found them

quiet cobalt
#

he is about to move to HA he has been with openhab for a long time.

last plaza
#

if you re technically savvy, you should go with custom install in virtual environment. if not, hassio would be okay

quiet cobalt
#

well I got hass.io in the IP already

#

what's the diffents

last plaza
#

one is consumer friendly, another is developer friendly

quiet cobalt
#

developer friendly is eazyer then openhab or the same

last plaza
#

if you are a developer, yes!

quiet cobalt
#

i not a developer just an hobby

warm swift
#

is it just me or are there no decent true noob friendly home automation sytems?

light trout
#

Ifttt?

warm swift
#

loz

quiet cobalt
#

Try waching MK Smart House @warm swift

#

thats were I started

warm swift
#

i'm not the noob

#

I have routines that my mum would spend a year figuring out

#

trying to figure out how we get the average joe invloved

quiet cobalt
#

that why shes got you

warm swift
#

haha,

#

true

#

I'm on an mini insight mission

#

while drunk...

#

the question is

#

how do we get home automation to the masses

#

and who can pull it off

#

smartthings f'd it up bu selling out to samsung

#

most the big names are focused on selling their own overpriced shit

#

where does HA fix and openHAB sit? and will they sell out

#

quick call in the uber admin ๐Ÿ˜‰

storm summit
#

@warm swift well they are both open source so there is no selling out

warm swift
#

was that not true of smartthings?

storm summit
#

No idea. Never touched that

quiet cobalt
#

openhab will not there there been around for an long time 2010 I think, HA I don't know much about yet

#

HA I see it started in 2017

#

I think?

storm summit
#

Automation to the masses requires money as an incentive and open source isnโ€™t that.

warm swift
#

nah

storm summit
#

No. Hass is older that 2017

warm swift
#

shortsighted vision

#

selling out to the big boys is a quick money winner

quiet cobalt
#

sorry 2007

dry cairn
#

yeah they can tell you all about that ask for the ubiquiti story

quiet cobalt
#

I think and open hab is 2000

storm summit
#

Heh

#

So far the ubiquity thing seems okay

warm swift
#

is that related to ST?

storm summit
#

Well, if itโ€™s related to destroying ST then yea ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

But no, not really

warm swift
#

lolz

quiet cobalt
#

@last plaza you still here

warm swift
#

looks like yet another fake device mfr from some google searching

storm summit
#

Ubiquity?

storm summit
#

You Google fu must be poor.

#

what you use @last plaza I Looked at an youtube video on an lovelace its looks really good

Go to this link, https://www.amazon.com/b?&ie=UTF8&node=18316548011, click the button and enter the code DOT1.

Click on the link for step 2 and signup for the Amazon Trial.

Wait for an email labeled "Here's your promotional credit from your recent Amazon order" (You may actually be able to skip this step and just order the item and see if promo is there)

Go on amazon and order your echo dot 3 USE THIS LINK https://amzn.to/2JT0GE3 and the promotion automatically applies to your order. Remember to select free shipping.

When your shipping confirmation is confirmed you can cancel your trial, or to be safe wait until you receive your echo dot before you cancel.

can you guys tell me how big is the configuration.yaml file at the start. I think I save some thing over it?

Just delete/rename the config file and reinstall it will create a new one and you will be able to compare the two. Also that question should be asked in #330944238910963714 not the lounge. @quiet cobalt

quiet cobalt
#

all good just starting from the start. sorry will post there next

#

did post on hassio was that the right place to post??

Good day - Looking into building a hassio setup and buying the hue bridge to get started, I have read enough to know they work together but what I am unsure about is will the hue work if it never has internet ever?

#

I could have asked in support but wasnt able to deduce if this was really a hassio question or more general. Apologies.

clever mortar
#

More a Hue question ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

And more general would have been in #330944238910963714 - please do take the time to read the channel topics

boreal stratus
#

@clever mortar true, and I did recon hue setup some but wasnt sure if it went differnelt when coupled with hassio.

clever mortar
#

~lmgtfy does the hue bridge need internet connectivity

velvet horizonBOT
light trout
#

Defenitly not a hassio question #330944238910963714 would probably be best.
AFAIK HA communicates with Hue locally, but I'm not sure you need internet to set up the bridge initially ๐Ÿคท

clever mortar
#

First hit gives the answer you're looking for ๐Ÿ˜‰

boreal stratus
#

ok will do I assume homeassistant was for that line and hassop was for that variant. Sorry.

boreal stratus
#

@light trout I actually did that google search and read setting up hue did want internet - where I was unsure was how much hassio interfaces with hue, to the point that it would work without the internet

clever mortar
#

The bridge works as a standalone device and does not require the internet to work. ... Although the internet is not required, the bridge must be connected to a wired router, this is because the hue bridge itself is not wireless, and so uses your router it can connect to your network be it in the internet or not - from the first Google hit

light trout
clever mortar
#

Yeah, well

boreal stratus
#

Anyways thanks I guess I will test and see if I can get hassio to talk to a hue bridge that can not see the internet and hope for the best

#

glad amazon has good return policy ๐Ÿ˜ƒ any other "hue" like products that are not dependant on the internet for set up?

quiet cobalt
#

@near flare I can help you but not in this room. Did you read the rules

near flare
#

@quiet cobalt I thought this channel was for general questions

#

or not directly related to HA

quiet cobalt
#

but it looks like you need support

near flare
#

ok I will go to the homeassistant chat

#

i posted in the HA chat

quiet cobalt
#

@near flare are you wanting to buy the leds all of them work with HA there lots of wqys you can do it

near flare
#

well i was looking for the easiest way

#

I heard that led controller works with HA

quiet cobalt
#

@near flare if your not looking how to setup up your in the right chat sorry

near flare
#

thats fine

quiet cobalt
#

every thing work with IOT

#

internet of things...

#

if you didn't know

near flare
#

? what u mean

quiet cobalt
#

Just tell me what you want to do what we want to do but you seem like you're lost

near flare
#

I would like to know if those led's will work with that controller

quiet cobalt
#

Yes they will. But it's not easy

near flare
#

why

quiet cobalt
#

Ok why are you asking then

near flare
#

what version of the controller do i need 5 pin RGBW or 4 pin RGB it looks like they are 4 pin but they do white so im confused

quiet cobalt
#

It seems to me you're running not walking need to walk and learn

#

That's the question in DIY

#

Not if you want to buy them

#

i don't think I can help sorry bud

#

cya

near flare
#

thanks anyway

quiet cobalt
#

all good I think you need to slow down and work out what you trying to do then ask

#

as I was so llost of what you were asking

near flare
#

ok thanks

do nest co2 sensors expire? I saw some do.

#

It was news/surprise to me they expire

bold osprey
dry cairn
#

@storm summit yes 10-15 years i think it was

quartz ether

That is still much longer than the traditional "smoke detectors" that should have been replaced every few years.

#

@storm summit in real world, CO2 sensors usually work 5 years after production, thereโ€™s an expiration date on the sensor (usually). To be on the safe side, if thereโ€™s no expiration date, use it for 4y max

rich kettle
#

is there a presence sensor that exists that could differentiate movement and sleeping?

#

like something that would shut the lights/tv off in the bedroom if one fell asleep

#

i guess it's not a terribly big deal

haughty tundra
#

I've been thinking about the same thing. Maybe put a motion sensor in a position where it won't detect you while you are lying in bed, but will see you if you sit up

#

Of course it's very hard to tell whether you are lying very still in bed watching tv, or you are sleeping. You'd need face detection for that.

rich kettle
#

yeah, probably unrealistic

#

just trying to find more ways to make a home smart without being overly clunky or annoying

#

most of the automated things are kinda pointless

#

at least in my apartment setting

#

can't use things like automatic locks

#

idk, i want to do more automation but can't figure out what to do

clever mortar
#

But mostly, look at the things you do manually regularly, or are annoying you, and look to automate those

#

Look too through all the various Githubs (linked from the cookbook and elsewhere) for ideas

rich kettle
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

i try to follow because it's all neat, but i dunno.

clever mortar
#

Use them for getting ideas, that's one of the things I've done

#

Most of the better ones include at least partial explanations

rich kettle
#

sometimes the automation seems like more work than it's really worth

clever mortar
#

Then maybe automation isn't for you ๐Ÿ˜‰

rich kettle
#

not what i meant

clever mortar
#

So you burn an hour or two working out how to make something work, after that it happens without input, so you're free to do other things

#

Lights come on when it gets dark and you're home, then go off when you go to bed, for example

rich kettle
#

my lifx lights already do that though

clever mortar
#

Doesn't take long for the time required to do that to feel worth it

#

So look through the cookbook and others for ideas

rich kettle
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

i just peruse off and on until I find something interesting enough to pursue

quiet cobalt
#

I was up for 2 days with one hour sleep moving from openhab to home assistant. mindblown . Oh feel better had a better sleep ๐Ÿ˜€

amber bramble
#

@rich kettle you can make a bed sensor that can tell if someone is or isn't in bed

quiet cobalt
#

LoL, funny things I didn't prepare myself that I have to learn a whole new code. But I can say it is a little bit easier than when I first started with openhab.

#

But I've had some sleep now and I thought about all the stupid things I was doing and it's better to have some sleep.

Didn't they? It's been a while (18 years or so) since I saw it, but was Togepi already introduced, or what?

#

Or wait. Mew was in the movie. That'd be #151.

quartz ether

Looking at the trailer for it. Pokemon in it look like they are from newer generations

I try to do my irrigation system today next thing I found out it wasn't working so I had to pull it back out

#

Did you know yesterday and the day before I had 1 hour sleep lol just setting up HA didn't think it was going to be that hard I should have done research before I came over. I could have prepared myself more to learn the code better before I moved

#

I got 10 hours for 12 hours sleep today so I'm feeling better

next eagle
#

@quiet cobalt Sorry to interrupt, but what irrigation system are you using? O

quiet cobalt
#

Thats ok it's is MK Smart House @midnight adder

@quiet cobalt Just trying to learn of new things I can possily incorporate, that's all. Had a house built just over a year ago so ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

quiet cobalt

Mk smart house I started with but he used openhab but as HA has got better and better he about to do his 1st video on HA on the 15th.

Have a look on this website his only 18 but he explains really good. He will be bringing out a lot more videos on home assistant

next eagle

Turning on / off still works via Google Asssistant, but no High/Medium/Low setting, and from the Home app it doesn't do anything but let me open the device settings.

hey guys, any support for savant?

dry cairn
#

check the HA website

midnight adder
#

i did the search on the site, no components exist

#

but there is support for an 8x8 hdmi matrix

#

im using justaddpower and cisco switches for video over cat/fiber

dry cairn
#

so whats savant and explain what the other stuff does

midnight adder
#

savant is a home automation thing, mostly amaster controller some hdmi matrices etc, it integrates security cams, gate and garage control (serial), ip cameras, etc

#

it kinda looks like hass.io can replace a lot of the savant stuff

#

right now im using an integrator to do the savant stuff

dry cairn
#

yeah if its not in supported devices you prolly SOL unless you wanna make your own component

#

ha can definately do some garage door control

#

ip cams it can pull a mjpeg

midnight adder

the harder part is controlling the swtiches for the video distrobution

depends on what protocol

amber bramble
#

awesome... the air coming out of my furnace is 110 degrees at the unit. down to 82 degrees by the time it reaches the vent in my living room.

#

the things you learn when you put temperature sensors everywhere

clever mortar
#

Need better insulation then?

amber bramble
#

my house is built on a concrete slab (no crawlspace) and the ductwork is in the slab, so no way to insulate it

clever mortar
#

Ah, traditional "we don't need to worry about energy" thinking in that design

amber bramble
#

pretty much

#

i'm pretty sure it gets water in it too. if we get a lot of rain outside, anytime the furnace kicks on the humidity level in the house skyrockets

clever mortar
#

"Awesome" ๐Ÿคฆ

amber bramble
#

wonder how much it would cost to have a company come in and re-run the duct work through the attic

#

then i don't have to worry about the toddler putting toys down the vents ๐Ÿ˜›

clever mortar
#

However much it costs, if you stay there long enough the energy savings should pay it off at some point

amber bramble
#

we just replaced the furnace last year. heat exchanger in the old one cracked and started blowing flames out the front of it

#

that was fun to find.. glad it was out in the (attached) garage and nothing was sitting in front of it

hey hey. What motion sensors are people recommending these days? I have a hue bridge but those senors look way too pricey... I may go with some PIR/ESP8266s but i wouldn't mind a cheap-ish* battery powered version either

dull chasm

xiaomi ...all the way

vapid mirage
#

estimated battery life?

dull chasm

6 months so far and no problems

vapid mirage

cheers mate

#

banggood?

dull chasm
#

i use aliexpress myself but they maybe ok too

vapid mirage
#

what are you using to read the info? @dull chasm

amber bramble
#

my xiaomi temp/humidity sensors have been great for the price

#

I use them with an husbzb-1 zwave/zigbee stick and the zha component

#

speaking of, i wonder if there will be any good deals on them for black friday

vapid mirage
#

@amber bramble yea, im hoping there are some on sale!

dull chasm
#

i got motion ...temp and door window...all have been great..... one has failed maybe battery can re-pair to gateway and then it drops off again but out of 14 not too bad

shy comet
#

i wish the motion detector didnt have that 2 minute delay but its not the end of the world just can cause issues during the right time

#

anyone here using the xiaomi humidifier?

vapid mirage
#

@shy comet is that due to it being battery powered?

shy comet
#

@vapid mirage every motion detector is different honestly, for most people the delay wont matter much because you can account for it and its not a long amount of time

#

in this case probably to save battery life

#

it reports on quickly just doesn't go to off right away

vapid mirage
#

oh - that's good. i just want one to report motion quickl

#

worth the little stand?

shy comet
#

mine came with it i think

dull chasm
#

basically what he is saying you cant create a event from motion sensor within the first two minutes it turn off becasue it delays the event

#

personally never been a problem for me

shy comet
#

@dull chasm i noticed this in my testing....it turns on then stays there for 2 minutes and checks again...if it does not see motion it will switch to off and sleep for almost a minute before detecting on again

#

i basically write my automations to wait 3 minutes to turn off lights

dull chasm
#

i havent testing to that ganular of a level because.... ๐Ÿค” .... i could really care less ๐Ÿคฃ

amber bramble
#

oh the minute delay between turning off and being able to re-trigger to on would be annoying

shy comet
#

hahaha i noticed it because i was in the room moving around and it went dark and im like what the hell

dull chasm
#

never a problem for me but all my lights are on at least 5 mintes before turning of

shy comet
#

yup there you go lol

#

i figured why not leave them on longer if you really need to go back in the room again that quickly

dull chasm
#

exactly.....

shy comet
#

i think i got mine for liek $7 which is much cheaper than DIY lol

quartz ether

Why do you turn your switches off twice? Fail safe incase they dont work being zwave?

There's better ways of doing it, but I haven't touched those in a long time now

quiet cobalt
#

@clever mortar I haven't looked right through the code but how about Easter what changes every year.

#

Is there like a yearly search for when Easter is on

clever mortar
#

Yeah, I need to do that bit still - since it moves

quiet cobalt
#

I'm no pro but sure somehow you can hook it up to Google calendar maybe but I'm no pro

clever mortar
#

Should be possible, but I wanted to catch the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, which is what caused me to skip it back then

quiet cobalt
#

๐Ÿค”

clever mortar
#

It should be a simple case of not changing it on Saturdays if it's already Easter

quiet cobalt
#

Maybe a just a turn on Good Friday turn off Easter Monday

clever mortar
#

Probably something like that

quiet cobalt
#

Like I said I'm not a pro so I might be talking s***

#

I haven't even made one yet

clever mortar
#

The thing to catch though is restart

#

Which resets some things, but not everything, and adds just enough complication to tracking state ๐Ÿ˜„

quiet cobalt
#

I mean the progress of making one for a watering system

clever mortar
#

I started with one automation, and have been expanding ever since

quiet cobalt

Nice what does your neighbours think

Hey there, anybode with the Xiaomi Vaccum Cleaner 1. Gen here?

#

Or to me more precise, anybody wo got the access token for any Gen of Xiaomi Vacuum Cleaner? ๐Ÿ˜›

dry cairn
#

you know why they call it a access token?

leaden adder
#

Uhm I guess so? I'm asking because the documentation is a bit confusing

dry cairn
#

whats confusing ?

#

i just did it and it was a breeze

leaden adder
#

The first solution is to use the Miio command line tool. Although the box above says it's only work with the Gateways, and not the vacuum cleaner, which is confusing because the page is only for the vacuum cleaner. The instruction says to use "miio discover" while being on the same network, which is confusing because the official miijo instructions says to reset the device, connect to the device opened by the xiaomi device ant run "miio discover" in this network

As none of the ways described worked, I'm trying the SQLite way now

For those who use motion sensors, what usb/bridge do you recommend?

Hi all! I just found out about HA today from reddit. I work in IT but have never done any automation. I had a quick question because it all seems too good to be true. I'm not asking how to do these things, just if they are realistic use cases --
Assuming that I'm buying brands that are listed in the HA components, would these ideas be possible? : -Based on "dark sky" weather have my MyQ garagedoor close and my ikea lights turn on.
-Use a Wemo dimmer to turn down my lights and send a text my wife?
-Have my IP camera pick up motion and turn on lights for an hour and trigger a chromecast to start a playlist.
-Is there really nothing I need to start the hub besides the raspberry pi? I won't need any other usb dongles to send a specific signal type?
Sorry if this is too rudimentary. I did browse the forums but didn't see something this specific.

I'm not sure about the wemo dimmer, but the rest sure ๐Ÿ‘ , you don't even need a RPi, Home Assistant can run on anything* that runs Python

okay awesome, thank you! I'm glad I found out about this right before Black Friday. This is pretty amazing stuff. I've never looking into smart home stuff because I don't love the idea of being tied to google or amazon or phillips, but this is perfect. I really appreciate it.

Hi all, newbie alert!
This is in my scripts:
alias: licht 1 uit 255
sequence:

  • data:
    brightness: 1
    service: light.turn_on

I expect the lights to turn on on their lowest level. And that seems to happen, the remote cannot lower the brightness anymore. (by the way: it's ikea tradfri).

I am a bit disappointed in the amount of light being generated; it's more than 1 expect to see for 1/255. Am I doing somehting wrong?

Yes

I have been using that for about a year now, and have not had any issues with the service

pure vine

I was sitting at a table for lunch with one of their staff and he said one of the main reasons is that they are open sourcing a lot is because their value is in the amount of servers(so its not the same server your connecting to and makes your connection harder to track) in their network rather than their software

Hi, Iโ€™m Fish. Iโ€™m a bit of an anomaly. I work with technology (server, storage, backup, virtualization) but have very little of it at home. I just implemented a wood burning fireplace which has a heat dump kit tied into my electric forced air furnace system. This means I have 2 heat sources, 2 fans, a traditional thermostat and what I assume is a 120v POT or PWM for heat dump fan speed control. I have the want for automated control of these systems to balance the heat from the main room where the fireplace is to the rest of the house

For my down-to-the-studs renovation is there enough of a benefit to CAT6a to justify the cost over CAT6? FWIW I'm going to be doing a somewhat PoE heavy install

clever mortar

Depends on how big your house is and how long those runs are

#

If you're looking at 10 Gbe then there's a practical limit of around 50 meters with CAT6

The theoretical limit of 10Gbe is 1250MBps. Youโ€™ll need NVMe or significant SSD raid sets to transfer data to and from to maximize.

Hi everyone Iโ€™m new here. I joined awhile ago but never followed discussion until now. Iโ€™m a senior sysadmin by day and I like to tinker with SBCs in my off time. I just got started earlier this year learning about them and Iโ€™ve learned a great deal of Linux commands in the process. I particularly like the Raspberry Pi and have a few of them now, also an Acer Tinkerboard. Iโ€™m familiar with imaging process but I want to get more into Balena OS (formerly resin.io) for something useful. Can anyone recommend a good starter project to get my feet wet? I tried the Hass.io image but I couldnโ€™t get it to quiesce. It kept displaying that it was searching for the network and I could not get a web interface to come up by remotely connecting to it.

#

*Asus not Acer

haas.io makes a few assumptions that the Tinkerboard might not be fitting

might be better off installing an OS that works on that board and then install HA via the virtual-env method
