i've heard about the sonos thing
@clever mortar you have a bunch of media_player thingies, aye?
clever mortar
Sonos, Squeezebox, Google Home
Mostly Sonos, but it's trivial to say _Okay Google, play some ... _
thorn viper
in my world a squeezebox is an accordion :p
clever mortar
That's also what I know it as, but...
Sonos is great audio quality, but not cheap
Google Home Mini is cheap, but not great audio quality 🤷
wet pilot
if you're in the US, the bestbuy version of the google home thing is super cheap and decent
thorn viper
but i guess it's nice to have something that's real easy for people to use... and perhaps stream to using their phones etc
wet pilot
people have done some crazy things with mopidy (cough @last plaza cough)
clever mortar
Google Home is the easiest, if you've got it hooked up to a good music source
vast dove
Sonos ❤ all the way here
clever mortar
I love my Sonos speakers, and am really looking forward to Google Assistant integration
vast dove
Hopefully they figure out Google Assistant on Sonos before the end of the world
thorn viper
if i'm going down the rpi/mopidy route again i'd have to get proper hifi hats, the audio from the head phone jack is not great
i did like mopidy however. it let me combine locally stored music with spotify
wet pilot
and there are some solutions to do ducking for broadcasts
thorn viper
a lot of the music i like is available on spotify, but i also have a lot of music that isn't available on there
@last plaza whatcha done with mopidy?

Grettings, I am having trouble communicating with my Nest. I followed the page to get it working and then saw: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2019/01/24/nest-cannot-access-data/ Looking at the update though it should still be able to setup. TL;DR: Is Nest access broken right now?

Oops sorry
odd mason
so i'm building out a new instance of HA
should I give the homeassistant user sudo privs?
wet pilot
🔥
odd mason
so how do you guys handle installing new packages
clever mortar
With another account
odd mason
login as root?
wet pilot
in the venv
clever mortar
Hell no
odd mason
i mean apt packages @wet pilot
clever mortar
The only time you log in directly as root is when you've set up SSH keys and an SSH CA
wet pilot
as your normal user
clever mortar
Otherwise, log in as normal user, then sudo
wet pilot
i'd argue that you should never login as root
odd mason
so what's a normal user?
clever mortar
There are times, for automation, that going directly as root makes sense
last plaza
odd mason
i started with a completely new debian instance
wet pilot
root should only be enabled for console for recovery purposes
clever mortar
My backups for instance use that approach, but keys only
@odd mason Create a user, chags, and give that sudo access
wet pilot
@clever mortar i'd probably still go with an account that has passwordless sudo but is locked behind the key. You can get pretty creative with your sudoers file
clever mortar
@odd mason root == the most powerful user
You can limit what an account can do with sudo
You cannot limit root
@wet pilot Yeah, but there are some things that don't play well that way 🤷
odd mason
so what permissions should i give my normal user
wet pilot
# rm -rf / Computer: "OK"
clever mortar
That's why I like SSH CA's though
@odd mason Whatever you feel you need. That you're asking here suggests you're utterly lost though 😉
wet pilot
thats super bad 😄
odd mason
because i didn't want to deal with permissions...but turns out...lots of stuff didn't work
because of that
clever mortar
You can take two approaches...
- Full
sudoaccess - None, and add them one at a time
odd mason
so to learn more i should just google stuff about visudo right?
odd mason
cool thanks just what i was looking for
clever mortar
~lmgtfy how to build sudoers
velvet horizonBOT
clever mortar
That's where I found it 😉
odd mason
LOL
ur assuming i knew the word sudoers
ok so i enabled ssh access for the homeassistant user
that is bad?
clever mortar
Yes
(well, maybe not, but ...)
IMO you only access it via sudo, from another account
odd mason
i just figured it might be easier to login as homeassistant user to do stuff instead of logging in as a normal user and then switching to it
clever mortar
Basically, this is the heart and soul of your automation platform. You don't want to make it horribly insecure
light trout
Hassbian is best! case closed 😄
clever mortar
Yup
light trout
hashell to change to HA user 😛
odd mason
isn't that the same as home assistant in a venv?
light trout
for the most part, yes
thorn viper
@last plaza you just convinced me to go back to raspberries for distributed audio 😃 have you used any hifi dacs with them? like the hifiberry? i remember my raspberries producing quite a lot of humming sound when not playing music
odd mason
@clever mortar
so if i'm understanding correctly:
* turn off root access
* create normal user account
* give normal user sudo privs
* turn off ssh for homeassistant user
* DON'T give home homeassistant user sudo access
* do all package installations via normal user account with sudo
@odd mason Install HA like this on your fresh install: https://gitlab.com/ludeeus/HA-AIO-Installer
last plaza
No Dacs. I use it for TTS only, and I am satisfied with the quality @thorn viper
thorn viper
@last plaza ah, i see
odd mason
@vast dove i already have HA installed like that
just trying to figure out how to do other permission stuff
thorn viper
do you guys use any RF switches?
unreal orbit
I do 😃
clever mortar
@odd mason Pretty much
odd mason
cool thanks
thorn viper
for what, @unreal orbit ?
unreal orbit
I have a few rf buttons to augment my existing smart stuff, like making a button for activating a script, or toggling a light
Or my doorbell
thorn viper
ah
yeah, looking around for buttons
there's fibaro's 'the button'
like 50 quid for a zwave button
= robbery
would like a snooze button though for the alarm clock automation... 😃
vast dove
lol
clever mortar
Z-Wave is expensive, because it's a full standard
vast dove
zwave = robbery
thorn viper
so what should one use instead?
unreal orbit
RF buttons work great in my experience
thorn viper
any hardware recommendations?
uneven cobalt
the xiaomi button works well
unreal orbit
Sonoff RF bridge is a necessity if you want to use RF.
As far as buttons go I have a few that work, and I ordered like 10 different kinds to test them, but they won't be here for another couple weeks
thorn viper
hm
odd mason
so my public key has the hostname of the computer that it was generated on at the end of it (which currently is my work computer). something like this: myname@mynamess-MacBook-Pro.local
does that matter?
meaning if i transfer my private/public keys to another computer, will it still work?

What’s the most appropriate channel to ask about recommend devices? Like what’s the cheapest on/off contact sensor that works with Zigbee, Zwave, or WiFi?
hushed basalt
I'm not sure
I know Xiaomi switches are really cheap
Do you mean like a physical switch for people to press?
#diy-archived might be better
But most people are asleep
odd fox
Nah, like the magnetic contact switches. Windows, doors, fridges, etc

Or actual electrical contact?
The xiaomi door switches are probably good value though

Ah!
Do you know what the differences are between the two generations?
@proven spruce does yours (the Mijia?) support double clicking and 'long click'?
proven spruce
yep
i dont have the new ones, make no sense to have a button inside a square, these are way easier to use and have more features
there is a version of the new ones with a gyroscope so it has a "shake" trigger, but its a switch so why would you use that

There is a guide for nginx though, I'm not sure how people have that much trouble with it
hushed basalt
"it's the users who are wrong" is always a great stance
If a large portion of people have difficulty with something it's usually not the users fault
unreal orbit
A large portion of people don't read docs thoroughly (or even half-assedly)
eager trench
the docs are incomprehensible sometimes like say for nginx
hushed basalt
I've read the docs, and multiple blog posts/guides and examples
The problem usually stems from you using a slightly different example from the scenarios. Or the scenarios are for an older version etc

@eager trench continued from #frontend-archived yes
All custom platforms needs to move
eager trench
so this is in the root of custom_components so where does it move to?
eager trench
ok.... so the custom_updater is ok to stay
and ones say in sensor get renamed to sensor.py and moved to their own folder
light trout
Correct, but most of what it tracks are going to give you issues
eager trench
right... but if I rename/move will they work? they don't seem to have hardwired paths in them
light trout
They should.
But they will be untrackable untill 1 day after 88 are publicly aviable (that's when I will paush an update)
eager trench
ok.. so you need to change the component as well
light trout
https://github.com/ludeeus/custom-component-store Can handle both structures, and give you an easy "migrate" if the developer has done the change in the public repo
The component does not need to change, but the json files it tracks.
I will change the list I maintain, but for other "third (forth?) "parties i can not do anything 🤷
eager trench
yeah of course. understood
light trout
My "take" of that change (it was added in 0.86):
## Embedded platform structure.
Let's take sensor.awesome as an example.
Traditionally this would be placed in custom_components/sensor/awesome.py
With the "embedded platform" structure this will be placed in custom_components/awesome/sensor.py
right... so that isn't dependent on a dev changing anything in the py file but if they're tracked in custom updater then your ones will be good but other parties need to update the json files so your component can track them
light trout
The dev needs to change the structure in the repo it's hosted and (potentially) any "installation" instructions.
eager trench
right
light trout
This is an example on how the "store" can change it locally for you when the dev has don his/her part https://componentstoredemo.halfdecent.io/component/switch.hadockermon
A "nice" big warning, and an easy "migrate" button 😃
eager trench
nice. I do use that component actually
mighty summit
does some one feel like helping me out with a custom rsyslog facility ?
clever mortar
syslog-ng allows you to do all sorts of funky stuff
Not so much facilities, but you can chose destinations based upon the content of the message, or the source, and more
mighty summit
i'm on a ubuntu system that has rsyslog per default
mighty summit
yeahhh...i'd rather not ?
clever mortar
mighty summit
tho your comment is more than valid ofc
clever mortar
rsyslog does it now too, of sorts anyway
It's unix, there's at least a bunch of different ways of getting to your destination 😉
mighty summit
i made a file in /etc/rsyslog.d/
# Log Zoneminder log messages to file
local1.* /var/log/zm/zm.log
# Uncomment the following to stop logging anything that matches the last rule.
# Doing this will stop logging Zoneinder generated log messages to the file
# normally containing them (eg, /var/log/syslog)
& stop
that works fine, sending all related logging to said file, and stopping it from spamming syslog.
1 hickup... i had to sudo chmod 666 /var/log/zm
which i really don't wanna keep
but google ain't helping regarding rsyslog permissions
mighty summit
$ ls -lha | grep zm
drwxrwxrwx 2 www-data root 4.0K Feb 14 06:25 zm
On my box, it runs as syslog
So, chown syslog /var/log/zm if www-data doesn't need to write there
mighty summit
/var/log/zm was created auto after i made the custom file & restarted rsyslog.
clever mortar
If it does... chgrp syslog /var/log/zm; chmod 1775 /var/log/zm
You could even do
touch /var/log/zm/zm.log
chown syslog /var/log/zm/zm.log
chmod 755 /var/log/zm
That won't let rsyslog rotate it though
clever mortar
adm is a group syslog is in on my host, so you could do chgrp adm /var/log/zm too 😉
(instead of chgrp syslog
mighty summit
i'll start with that one i think
ended up with```
$ ls -lha | grep zm
drwxr-x--- 2 root adm 4.0K Feb 14 06:25 zm
hope it'll rotate
clever mortar
I doubt it, if that's /var/log/zm/
mighty summit
correct
mighty summit
but www-data isn't owner
clever mortar
$ ls -lha | grep zm
drwxrwxrwx 2 www-data root 4.0K Feb 14 06:25 zm
You posted earlier
Now only root can create files there
mighty summit
true dat
ls -lha | grep apach
drwxr-x--- 2 root adm 4.0K Feb 14 06:25 apache2
tom@cctv:/var/log$ ls -lha | grep zm
drwxr-x--- 2 root adm 4.0K Feb 14 06:25 zm
🤷
clever mortar
Because root is opening the files in /var/log/apache2 for writing
mighty summit
ls -lha zm/
total 5.3M
drwxr-x--- 2 root adm 4.0K Feb 14 06:25 .
drwxrwxr-x 10 root syslog 4.0K Feb 14 06:25 ..

-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4.5M Feb 14 06:25 zm.log.1
ls -lha apache2/
total 13M
drwxr-x--- 2 root adm 4.0K Feb 14 06:25 .
drwxrwxr-x 10 root syslog 4.0K Feb 14 06:25 ..
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 5.1M Feb 14 12:53 access.log
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 6.9M Feb 14 06:25 access.log.1
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 1.5K Feb 14 10:41 error.log
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 827K Feb 14 06:25 error.log.1
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 0 Feb 11 14:52 other_vhosts_access.log
so rsyslog is root ??
clever mortar
Also, apache isn't using syslog 😉
Would appear to be, on your system, which is "odd"
clever mortar
ps axu|grep rsyslog
mighty summit
g$ ps axu|grep rsyslog
syslog 113477 0.0 0.1 263036 4068 ? Ssl 12:48 0:00 /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -n
what dud you conclude from ps axu|grep rsyslog ?
that the daemon is running as user syslog ?
$ sudo groups syslog
syslog : syslog adm
Yup, and the files in /var/log are owned by syslog
mighty summit
but not all
$ sudo logrotate --force /etc/logrotate.conf worked across the board.
🤷
also for apache2 btw, and also for the zm logs.

@amber bramble bluetoothbeacon stuch to the bin ?
hushed basalt
@amber bramble you could always try a little sonar sensor if it's practical for your location
I'm not sure how accurate BLE positioning is,
mighty summit
it doesn't need to be accurate at all
hushed basalt
But if you put a sonar sensor where your bins live
But how do they know if the tag is near or far away
mighty summit
you just need to position the receiver some place where it sees/doesnt see the beacon.
if no beacon, then the bin isn't there
like, put the receiver at the back of the house, so that it will not see the beacon if beacon is on the curb.
amber bramble
@mighty summit I think that setup would work the best. Do you have any recommendations for hardware?

Esp32 will be cheaper I think
I'd usually use a RPI3A+ over a zero wireless myself nowadays
Simply because 2.4Ghz is too crowded where I live
An esp32 is cheaper than an SD card for a raspberry pi though
mighty summit
that is what the thread i posted does.
lemme TL/DR that for you :
https://github.com/1technophile/OpenMQTTGateway
A BLE badge stuck to your bin, an ESP32 in your house.
If esp sees badge, you have a pretty good idea where the bin is. PRovided you choose the esp's location properly.
so...ESP+badge...ain't gonna get much cheaper...amirite ?
except for the squirrelnetwork.
but that's unreliable AF.
hushed basalt
As long as this doesn't happen
But yeah that was my original question
Trying to avoid false positives when the bin is on the curb but occasionally you get readings
Do beacon receivers have strength meters?
mighty summit
i have no idea
i would consider it a binary thing. reception or none
for the price of ESP's...get 4 and triangulate.
hushed basalt
I guess that's the advantage of the sonar sensor
Hard yes or no
Unless a squirrel sits on it
mighty summit
what if a car parks out front ?
amber bramble
IIRC most of the BLE stuff can tell signal strength
hushed basalt
You just position the sonarr sensors to only point at the area the bins occupy
They can be quite narrow
mighty summit
perhaps Tensorflow ?
https://www.home-assistant.io/components/image_processing.tensorflow/
hushed basalt
I don't know if you can put an esp in a shaped enclosure to make the antenna directional
mighty summit
allows you to detect and recognize objects in a camera image
hushed basalt
My garage door sensor is sonar
mighty summit
i mean a bin is pretty unique regarding shape & color
hushed basalt
My garage door sensor would work for my bins if I wanted it to
@amber bramble if you want an off the shelf solution try a opengarage.io
mighty summit
any object in front of a sonar sensor will be considered as the bin. very not accurate in my little booklet.
hushed basalt
Its an esp8266 with a sonar distance sensor and a relay
Yes but I only ever place bins in my bin spot
And it measures distance
mighty summit
where nothing else ever comes ?
hushed basalt
So something parked a meter away won't count
Well no since the bins are there 13 days a fortnight
mighty summit
i know that sonar wouldn't work in my location. 🤷
unreal orbit
Your trash pickup is only bi-weekly? that sucks

Our bins are only 140L too
I'm pretty sure the bins I see in tv shows in americsan suburbs look at least 250L. Maybe 300
Sorry mine is 240L
I'm pretty sure Americans are 350L
unreal orbit
Yeah mine is definitely 350. We also have 3 bins: recycling, trash, and green waste
Our recycling bin is almost always completely full of cardboard each week
the trash usually isn't more than half way

after 5 hours of stupid back and forward configuration - and 2 fails with hassOS - A seccond HA is running - Now bridging the brokers!
wary jolt
Today, almost a month after writing a custom component for HA I had an epiphany of why one of the default values was not working... I wasn't even looking at the code but I guess it has just been in my head bugging me all this time.
It's amazing how the mind works.

Ahhh
I wasted hours of troubleshooting because I had a configuration set with 1 instead of l
wary jolt
@hushed basalt, I've been there myself... The worst are I and l... You can't tell which is which.
hushed basalt
Exactly!
I can tell the difference in the font I use in VSC
But it was more the fact I didn't know the variable was supposed to be l instead of i
In some industries they purposefully avoid using characters like 0, O, l and I entirely
wary jolt
Who uses uppercase i as the variable name?

Oh, I get it. It still sucks... Lol

Yeah i know right haha

It's great
I use vim extension in VSC
But I wouldn't use vim as an IDE. Vsc blows it out of the water.
I use cloud sync to sync my config across workstations as well

probably don't need 80 if you are doing dns validation

i get a connection refused

you haven't banned yourself?
odd mason
nah i don't have ip ban set up
so it looks like i can't connect to my caddy server over https
eager trench
hang on.... you're going to your external ip address?
odd mason
when i connect over http it goes to port 80
yea i'm trying to remove the dns out of the picture
since that is more cloudflare related
if i can get the public ip working then i can work on the cloudflare part
if i go to https://mydomain.cloud i get a 521 error
eager trench
well that won't work with https... try http://public-ip but you need to pf 8123 to 8123 for that I think
if you use https it expects ssl and your certificate is for the domain not the ip address

well see I'm using hassio and the korylprince addon and it IS simple... I can actually understand what it does

well as long as it works and is secure who cares right.. I just could not understand anything I read about nginx - it was all just gibberish to me...

heh, you would hate to have seen my docker swarm configs before I gave up on docker swarm due to a now old networking bug that causes containers to not deploy
eager trench
i've never used swarms... just 1 stack... i'm pretty simple lol
but docker just makes everything so much easier
fair monolith
indeed
well, I should have just copied and pasted a portion of the config from https://github.com/home-assistant/hassio-addons/blob/master/nginx_proxy/nginx.conf lol
fair monolith
yah, I learned nothing. I just got screwed by syntax

@fair monolith what specifications does my gear need?
fair monolith
@clear ferry mesh is only when one AP is wired and the other is 100% wireless
fair monolith
when they are all wired its just general enterprise roaming
clear ferry
@fair monolith yeah, but if you only specify roaming that can be accomplished with APs that don't share any accounting services or authentication tables
so basically it will be a new auth when you move between

I am unable to connect two ap's together... Only option would be with powerline adapter.
fair monolith
you can mesh

Mesh hmmm
