ESXi 4 lyfe π
is that a no ?
knowledgable can be a lot of things
That is a "He know enough to state that ESXi is a better alternative"
@light trout it is ? Why? (in short)
I hold a VCP-DCV5\5.5\6\6.5 and studying for VCP-NV6 so I might be biased π€·
are those Voltages ?
those codes mean nothing to us
Those are certifications (I'm guessing)
or made up
.lmgtfy VCP-DCV6.5
Here, try this => http://lmgtfy.com/?q=VCP-DCV6.5
cool, that chart made it even more confusing
so i want to move away from a Hyper-V based setup (don't ask) to something else, and i figured PVE looks pretty nice ?
π€’ hyper-v
Still better than virtualbox π
i did say don't ask
I just ask all my virtual machines to behave nicely
never worked with proxmox, never seen a customer run it, never heard anybody talking about it before I joined this discord, so taking a wild stab and saying it's pretty rare
Respect each other's boundaries
the stuff I play with is either ESXi, KVM, XEN, HP-UX containers, HP-VM or Hyper-V π€·
ESXi is awesome, runs directly on the host
bare metal virtualization > all other virtualization
@light trout so does PVE ?
One could say nothing is truly bare
PaperVectorEnterprice π€
Esxi is an operating system of sorts
If a virtual machine falls in the forrest, but no one is connected, did it really fall
nope, that is a lucky maintnance window π
Why is ESXi better than Proxmox ? In brief ?
runs on bare metal
Bigger user base
would you rather buy "You won't believe it's not butter" or "margarine" ?
Milk
Doesn't the proprietary nature of ESXi bother you guys ?
olive oil
Since I'm not a scandanvian cow lover
ESXi is a mostly closed sourced, proprietary product that has a free version with limited features. Most "enterprise" features are not available in this free version.
Proxmox is free, open-source product based on other free, open-source products (KVM, LXC, etc) with all features enabled. For some, open-source aspect is enough of a difference to prefer Proxmox.
I have not had an issue with ESXi (That I did not cause myself)
I usually create the issues as I go, like woops there I disconnected all three SANs from the whole cluster π€· or woops there I powered off all 20 cluster-nodes π€·
I hope proxmox to esxi is better than gimp to photoshop
there's more to the comparison but that was the basics
Open source means nothing if it doesn't work
So, Proxmox is a clear winner.
proxmox doesn't require VT extensions, supports clustering, ...
My OP stands, does any one feel like helping a Proxmox noob, i need some general pointers/ideas ?
that's still a no
My recommendation is to use it immediately in production
Fear is a great learning motivator
that's hardcore af
That is how I learn new products mostly, at customers with 900 or more servers in production π€ best motivator to do it right is when an entire airlines booking system relies on it π€·
Or like the system I have to patch that monitors 3000 delivery trucks, so they had to stop moving for my 30 minute reboot π€
So you are the reason SAS are sending info to the wrong customerπ€
They are not my customer, probably running on some dell shit π that would explain it
One would rather expect that problem to be due to a shitty developer cough π€ π€ π€ π€ π€
Most likely π
https://i.redd.it/r3gzvv3kv4l21.png comes to mind
how did you find my test results? π€
how soon until someone runs HA on a nvidia Jetson?
@sterile ferry as long as it can run Linux it could be today, but not sure if any ha components could benefit from it yet π€·
Guessing not as it's quite specialized hardware
It's not that much different than a pi as far as HA is concerned
@unreal orbit guessing stuff like face recognition and graphana could benefit if they can be GPU optimised
Could run tensorflow on it
Is anyone here good with Grafana? I have network data that shows up at bits/second and what I would like to do is convert that data to total throughput over the window of time I'm looking at. Like if I am looking at my download over the last hour I want a single stat that says I downloaded 5GB. I am getting the data to grafana with snmp from my edgerouter.
Does the new installer not come up with a choice of encryption?
I only see this (*) 256 Use 256-bit encryption (recommended level) β β ( ) 384 Use 384-bit encryption β β ( ) 521 Use 521-bit encryption (paranoid level)
@slate crow
normally a key was generated, but now it finished in just 2 seconds?
Typical, got a Broadlink for control of a Hifi which I've been, gasp, turning on manually by walking up to it. Annoyingly, it seems the remote is missing so I'll have to find the codes somewhere ::/
@midnight adder i got 4....i keep them in auto mode and never really mess with anything asides from filter replacement notification....they work very well....we started with one
my lungs are total shit and they just started selling them in the netherlands
I'm considering getting one
you will notice a difference
its very smart honestly, like wehn i wake up and im sitting next to it it starts spinning up the rpms
@midnight adder I don't think you can compare the air in NL with for example China
@delicate plinth that was my reasoning as to why it would work so well in the US π
@delicate plinth actually I kind of can, I've been in Shanghai a lot
thsi thing has a buzzer in it when the air quality si that bad....have yet to hear it
I live in Rotterdam which on a bad day has the quality of an average shanghai day
hehe
I live in Leeuwarden π
And the air quality is fine .. I dont see a different to be honest..
of course comparing to beijing is a no go seeing how that's as bad as living downwind of a coalmine
i think it depends on the person
but yeah I have severe asthma so anything helps, really
peopel with asthma for example will notice more of a differnece
so yea we started with one in teh main room we hang out we liked....read that it helps you sleep at night too so got one for the bedroom and decided to get it for the rest of the house
gearbest had a sale too so they were pretty low in price
I can get one for 150 euros incl shipping which is a pretty good deal because I don't have to deal with customs adding another 26% in taxes
thank you based Kruidvat
they also got the xiaomi smart watercooker and ricecooker but I don't really think I need those
though the watercooker is pretty cool
you know what I do need it
Hopepully the electric step will come the NL π
lol @delicate plinth π they are pretty low usage honestly
@delicate plinth the EU is working on a law for low-power vehicles
with a little luck we'll be able to get a step legally somewhere in a year or two
personally im debating getting the xiaomi humidifier
@shy comet are the HEPA filters inside the purifiers proprietary or can I stick in any offbrand filter?
umm not sure on that, never looked into it.....you can clean them actually which is what i have been doing
Thats why i came here in the first place haha
ive had them about a year now and the filter looks new when i clean it so havent had a need to replace it
oh if theyre washable then thats even better
I was hoping @slate crow had some ideas π
umm havent washed them, just vacuum lol
fair enough
@delicate plinth I use PIA on my desktop and mediaserver, if thats relevant
yea not washable, they dont recommend it actually
the mediaserver uses it using openvpn
it looks like other manufacurers sell the filters @midnight adder so you can repalce it when needed too
neat
does anyone have the apple homekit HAP documentation? I haven't been able to access it due to its temporary not available?
lets do some math and see if I can fit the purifier into next month's fun budget
as well as the watercooker because why not
for some reasons i am not able to connect to my openvpn server (ubuntu)
IIt asks for a password while connecting but thats it
I really want to look into adding homekit security camera support to HA so that we have local polling access for cameras like the logi circle 2
hrm, doesn't really fit in the budget
guess I'll buy one in may when vacation money comes in
by the way are HASS compatible tv's a thing?
neat, apparently they are
I assume you can find smart tvs that are compatible with HASS
I plan on upgrading to 4k this May and I sure as hell plan on getting one that has WoL or some shit
I am anti smart tv
yeah but 4k monitors are hella expensive
everyone has been caught using their mics to record etc
if 4k monitors didn't cost so much I'd get one
I practically only use my intel nuc anyways
oh i just use HA because the smart-o-sphere or whatever you call it is oversaturated
I am rather happy with homekit, but HA lets me use other devices with local access as well
I mean the majority of my smart stuff is xiaomi
apple forces all home-kit devices to work locally without internet access
somewhere in china they know the temps of my fridge
my issue is.. what else is on that chipset
the xiaomi gateway for some reason has a lumination sensor
after all... google has microphones in all of their thermostats without telling anyone
no clue why, the xiaomi app doesn't mention it anywhere
My Philips hue motion sensor is also a lux and temperature sensor
due to the chipset they use has it all
yeah but that's a motion sensor
the gateway is just a zigbee boi
it has wifi, a led ring and a speaker
probably due to the chipset they use
what does piss me off about the gateway is that it runs off mains even though it internally converts to 5v for everything but the led ring
you can literally run it off USB
thats why i have a cc stick for zigbee2mqtt
I got rid of the Xiaomi gateway
π
@slim vortex Are you using OpenVPN perphaps ? π
I have to turn everything off tomorrow morning because the electric company is replacing the meters
farewell months of uptime
could someone help me with how to set attribute's of a lamp using a script?
What attribute are you trying to set?
@bold osprey I would use the Unifi cloud key 2 with the 1 TB of storage as your NVR
low power and the platform is very nice
@brisk glen do you have one then?
I plan on getting one
I dont think they are available in UK yet
I will been a couple of months since i looked last
am I the only one using zero tier one?
@brisk glen yeah a ups isn't going to power my lab for a whole day
@slim vortex got alexa back up thanks
π π
its going to take them a freaking day?
they're replacing all meters in the entire apartment building tomorrow so there won't be any power from 8 to 4
fuck my life
that down time is rather unacceptable
I think the problem was how they calculated power factor/duty cycle
Since I don't seem to be getting anywhere in the other channels, does ANYONE know anything about the zwave component of hassIO? I have been tinkering with it and now it just doesn't work at all, I get stuff in the openzwave log but zero nodes in lovelace. maybe I need to talk to whoever did the openzwave component?
all of my zwave gear is useless right now when it was spotty, it doesn't make sense, nothing has changed except upgrading and I never saw anything about zwave in the changes.
As I mentioned in response to one of your other posts, there's something odd with Z-Wave/USB devices and Hass.io
Lots of folks run into issues, for no apparent reason, yet I've not seen anything like those issues using other install methods
what methods are they using that work well, only running on a pi?
I guess using a vm just sucks, that's pretty sad for a software in 2019.
Not Hass.io π
I think the issue is down to the Supervisor, it's the only thing that makes sense
well I had no issues on my pi but I'm not going to run on something that kills the SD card in 2 months.
probably so
Hassbian, and a dashcam standard card, you'll be fine
literally I see all of the stuff from the devices in the openzwave log lol
On Hassbian you can even move the logs and database to a USB stick for even longer life
how is that different than hassIO and the sandisk card I had?
Dashcam cards are designed for high write life
yeah I read about that, was thinking running in a vm on an SSD would take care of any speed and reliability issues lol
That too
And, if you're going straight Docker or venv install, the challenges with the Supervisor are gone
so something like the SanDisk High Endurance Video Monitoring Card with Adapter 32GB (SDSDQQ-032G-G46A)
Yup
is there a tutorial somewhere to see what kind of fresh hell the docker or vnv install is? lol.
I'm running in ubuntu with hassIO via frenck's script
it might be easier just to break down and buy the lowest end nuc I can, unless those also have supervisor issues
weird that the pi doesn't though
Well, I've seen reports in #zwave-archived with issues on the Pi too
ah, maybe those came up after I was running mine
I was running 32 bit because people had various issues with 64
It's very hit and miss, which makes it even harder to track down
One of π
Pi is Hassbian or Hass.io
Hass.io has VM images, but a venv install works on almost anything
I wonder if an actual vm image would work better
Give it a shot, what's the worst that could happen π
I don't see the vm images
I'm not sure how I missed that
π
shouldn't take long as all to see how this is going to work lol
hmmm
interesting turn of events
might be coincidence, there were updates in ubuntu, I ran them, rebooted the vm, and now my zwave stuff is back.
I think I'm going to NOT do any more OS updates and see what happens lol.
f security, I need it to work.
I have the vmdk and the newest snapshot though
oh yeah, there's no need for me to update this vm, all it runs is HA
the IT guy in me is curious what fixed it, but whatever.
only listen to @clever mortar if you keep that dam HA server LOCAL only and not accessible from the internet
Or layer other things in the way π
I'm not terribly worried about my HA server being on Raspbian Jessie, because Python is up to date (separately), there's a proxy with authentication in the way, and I don't run on port 443
Yes, it does increase the risk by not having upgraded to Stretch, but not by a massive amount all things considered
As long as you apply security updates, that's the key thing
heh, indeed.
@flat lintel can you see if you can access https://developer.apple.com/homekit/specification/ ?
worked perfect for me
@dull chasm you need to be signed in
well that could be a problem
a big problem if I want to add Home assistant security camera support to HA and I have no idea how Apple's HAP works.
how? β€
everything needed to download the file was on the page
just had to kill the redirect and then click the right button
direct download link, only works if logged in
ah and appears it wont work if you dont come from the homekit page
anyway, you got it!
yep
oh perfect, this has ip camera stream documentation
.... this is going to be easy to add homekit ip camera support
@brisk glen Hit me up if you plan on adding IP cams. Adding SRTP support to the stream component is on my list, which I believe is a requirement for HomeKit.
@humble pond Indeed it is. Its going to be some time for me as I need to understand how HAP works etc.
Better you than me!
heh, we will see how long it takes me
@humble pond https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3711
Or even better: https://github.com/aiortc/pylibsrtp
π
heh a RTP H.264 stream with encryption and AAC-ELD or Opus at 16K or 24K sample rates.
looks like home bridge already has support
Yes, they do
@humble pond FFMpeg can handle RSTP?
thus all we need to do is take care of the homekit stuff and get the stream url and key
Check tomorrowβs release notes π
so I assume yes
is there any kind of internet monitoring addon for hassio?
I'd like to see if my internet is blipping out, for how long, etc.
comcast is being crap
oooh
ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://xx:yy@192.168.1.ee:fd/tcp/av0_0 -f image2 -vf fps=fps=1 hello/img%03d.png
well that solves the RSTP issue in theory, all thats needed is to use home kit to get the stream URL
Not really. You need to provide a srtp url to HomeKit, which means we need to re-package the RTSP feed to SRTP and provide an endpoint.
Thatβs whatβs sitting in my todo list right now via the new stream component.
@humble pond ah ops I got confused with the acronyms
All I am currently looking at is taking a home-kit camera now and pass it through HA before going back to home-kit via HA?
thus I can record localy
Use HA to process and use object identification as well
Wait, are you trying to get a HomeKit camera into HASS, or a HASS camera into HomeKit?
HomeKit camera into HASS
Ok, Iβm referencing the other way π
aka transform the Logi Circle 2 remote poling into local
Preferably adding Camera platform to this: https://www.home-assistant.io/components/homekit_controller/
indeed
anyone have an iphone?
my wife is starting to use lovelace to arm the alarm herself and I want her to get feedback that it actually armed, I get pushbullet notifications on my phone, I know you can do fancy stuff with iphones.
you can send push messages to the ios home assistent app
that uses the old interface doesn't it
define old
it will use the lovelace ui by default now?
or what ever your version of HA default UI is
yeah
the thing with lovelace is it can trick you on your phone if network is wonky, thats why I have HA send me a notification with the alarm state
then I know the command made it
she gets nervous that she didn't actually arm it
so then just use the ios notification component
so she needs to install the app?
yes
okay
I restarted HA for something else and my zwave vanished again
Thing is made
Americans: this sucks because of an America only issue
Everyone else: this works well in our nations.
Like everyone (in America) response to Google's thing is "this sucks because America internet sucks" and im like, from the data I've seen, it would work fine in the UK, even on Fiber to the Cabinet(although with about 40ms latency on the wire)
I had a friend who worked as a dba, he configured an old cellphone connected via serial port to their dB cluster, whenever a db died it would call him up and play ride of the valkyries, so he knew it was down
In the last job, used to use Siemens T35 boxes for last ditch OOB options to get onto a network in case of failure. Had some external monitoring of the endpoints. Turned out our network was more reliable than the sim providers. Saying that, they're still there as backup is good.
Have more than a few spare PoE ports, pondering using them for supplying power to some Aeotec Multisensor thingies in order to get a greater cadence. Anyone tried this before? Any issues I should be aware of? Thinking of something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B079D5452Z/
fucken finally, the electricity company finished maintenance
its 2PM and they shut off power at 8AM
Seemingly people are successfully using them for Raspberry Pis, so a sensor shouldn't be a problem.
Never seen that before, so don't know the reliability, only seen splitters that give you the 48v on a DC jack π€·
Twenty quid experiment it is so π
I have seen Poe adapters specifically for the Pi
14c here today, better start planning my greenhouse in ha implementation
now i just gotta find a way to power a raspberry pi in the closet my meters are in so I can read out the P1 port
@midnight adder there is quite a few ready to use products to read out the data, depending on what standard your country is using
yeah but what I've been seeing they're pretty expensive
Has anyone here used Tasmota Device manager on windows?

@sacred hornet #551843800209686539 might be a better place to ask?
@fallow fox Did SAS ever get back to you?
@strange vapor thanks mate, posted there too :)
@strange vapor No they didnΒ΄t. I have also sent an email to their data protection officer, and nothing! I am (to put it mildly) not happy about this...
This applies to companies, right?
So, a way to report if your company has had a leak?
It's the company's responsibility, but they also states that they take reports from individuals, in those cases they will try to contact the correct person in teh company, I guess a mail from Datatilsynet are scarier then one from you π
I really hope so! π
Or you can take the easy route tagging https://twitter.com/Datatilsynet in your tweet xD
Good tip! The electronic report forms are for companies only.
Bummer....
I did find on their page that they only accepted reports and complaints from persons via written (non-electronic) mail. I find that insanely weird!
LOL! π
It's probably a barrier to stop a flood of e-mail.. If you're pissed enough to send a snail mail, there's probably something there.
That is both probably true and the stupidest thing ever! π
There's a bank of fax machines and email to fax gateways two floors down from where I'm sitting for similar reasons :/
Haha!
SAS did finally answer... Have a look at this meaningless crap: https://twitter.com/magnuso/status/1107779130119127047
Dear .@SAS! Today you #leaked another passengerβs #personal details (full name/date of birth/passport number!!) when I checked in to my flight. Your customer representative did not take my concern seriously at all! How many #passport numbers did you leak today alone?? @N...

Don't know how closely the Norwegian law follows the GDPR, but under GDPR there's a requirement to report data breaches to the Data Protection Commissioner.
Norway has had to follow it
Norways agreement with the EU is that they have to follow directives from the EU, but have little reperesnation in the parliement
anyway, their HQ is in sweeden so that doesnt even matter about where Magnus is
Is there a way I can see why home assistant hasn't triggered an automation though it should have? This randomly happens and I have to reload automations when it does happen. Running 0.88.1
you can watch logs with debug option to see what is happening
Is there an easy way to watch the logs from the GUI or do I need to SSH or get into a docker container? Running hass.io
about page (aka info)
@orchid rose Seriously, I missed that? π I installed the ssh module and was tailing the /config/home-assistant.log just now but nevermind lol
Thank you. I will look through the log and see what I did wrong π
hidden in plain sight π I never noticed there's a download button for the log file either

@hushed basalt Worked in Shared Hosting for years... You don't want to get me started on SEO "experts".
I mean SEO is imporrant
Important*
But SEO specialists remind me of "passive income bloggers"
A lot of... Bullshit
SEO boils down to good, relevant, up to date, content... that people actually care about.
@hushed basalt Used to regularly get support tickets asking for us to put in special IIS or Apache configs for SEO purposes. They were usually put out when we told them that on a fiver a month package you don't get to dictate the server config. They were even more put out when we pointed out that if they wanted that level of control they could get a VM or Dedicated server and do whatever they wanted, it would just cost a bit more!

Does anyone have an Amcrest camera system that they have an opinion about?
@unreal orbit like a full blown nvr system or just standalone cameras?
personally i jsut have standalone cameras with software nvr
well my amcrest cameras are actually all indoors and we only use them with zoneminder to trigger recordings when the alarm is triggered.....for outside I have ReoLink PoE hooked up to blue iris that do motion recording all the time
the amcrest cameras are more to spy on the pets when we arent at home lol
What kind of hardware do you have zoneminder running on?
i5 6gb of ram and SSD....runs alongside HA in prod
so I have taht and tensorflow on the same system
I was thinking about just going with IP cameras and making my own NVR
But a standalone system seems so much simpler
so personally...i really enjoy blue iris over zoneminder....the flexibility and ease of use with mqtt is really nice
zoneminder was just a bit much for me...after trying blue iris i was sold on it honestly
i like doing zone crossing for better motion detection, that paired with tensorflow is perfect
The only thing stopping me there is I refuse to run a Windows based server at home
So it would have to be zoneminder if I did my own setup
LOL yea thats the one show stopper for lots of people lol
nothing wrong with trying it out on one camera and deciding from there
I have worked with windows server OS in the past, and it's.... special
Everything that a server should be able to do it makes it 100 times more complicated
yea if you can just make a VM that only runs BI?
But I digress. I don't think I'll be doing too much motion based stuff, so that's why I'm leaning more toward a DVR for 24 hour recording
ah ok yea for me i got WAY too may false motion alerts
i found using tensorflow gave me more accurate reports that i care about
I mostly just want the ability to see what's going on at home when I feel like it/ be able to go back to yesterday to verify something happened
I can tie my doorbell to it if I really wanted an automation with cameras
But you've had good luck with their cameras? Would you mind sharing the model?
yea i have great luck with them
so i got 3 models
IP2M-841B
IPM-722S
and the newest one i bought that i have been using for a few months i plan to use as the baby monitor since the quality is great and better FOV
IP4M-1051B
not since i ditched my netgear router for all unifi π
Hmm. I have an Amplifi HD from Ubiquiti and I've not been very impressed
As an access point it's been okay (some disconnections but I think that may be the devices themselves), but as a router it was absolute garbage.
I went back to my old router and just use the amplifi as an ap
oh yea I have a edgerouter x and 2 AC lites personally....its been very solid
the only time i ever had to do a reboot was during firmware update
When I finally get enough money/time to build a proper home network rack I'll probably switch to an edgerouter
yea i got lucky since i bought my nighthawk x8 from costco so i was able to return it when it died and decided to go the ubiquiti route...was very impressed by it
what are some somewhat non-standard smart devices that are fun to own?

Hi everyone. Anyone using Alexa with Home Assistant?
@flat lintel How do you find it? Just playing around with an echo dot and so far I'm not impressed
I never have any issues, except with how annoying the official app is to manage devices
usually if I make some big change I just go to alexa.amazon.com and hit forget all devices
a button that doesn't exist in the mobile apps
Yeah I'm finding that quite difficult and already used the forget devices 3 times tonight. I seem to be getting a lot of "X doesn't support that"
But different phrasing is fine.
give me an example of whats going wrong specifically
So if I say Alexa, Is the [car name] locked she says it isn't supported
I got her to return the result once but can't remember the phrasing. One sec
OK it's the name that's throwing her
what kind of device is car name though
Probably easier to create a custom intent
I tried a few different names. Most of them had lock in the name so I just tried renaming it to just car and she is fine with it
Do you find yourself creating many custom intents?
i have one custom intent for the entire home state
whos at home, what time is it, temperature, etc
thats it
i don't have lock experience
you may want to look at the alexa dev docs because they give example utterances for each device type
Thanks I'll check that out
@storm tendon just checked the docs myself, the docs for locks are not great
your phrase looks correct tho
βAlexa, is the back door locked?β
and yeah, sometimes names can confuse it, especially if its very similar to another name
Yeah. Just wondering how this will work with other entities I want to poll that I want all to be called car
I want to check window and door state.
Just trying some custom intents to see if I can make it a little more fluid
well the downside to custom intents of course is having to prefix everything with "Ask Home Assistant"
got a mini next to my bedside alexa spot and a home hub in the kitchen
i just naturally use alexa more though, because it was here for years before google was
I've not got a google home device but I configured it all with the home app on my phone and it all just worked flawlessly out of the box
I had 3 home minis that came with various other devices, but gave them all away. I donβt like it when my smart speaker acts like a parrot, so brief mode on Alexa is a god send for me. Just one of those pet peeves I guess...
@flat lintel how come you don't just have a bot go poll the issues for staleness and auto post?
we've tried that, it's extremely hit or miss due to limits in the GitHub API
Did you try polling the HTML instead?
as an example, we re-labeled almost 20k issues and pull requests yesterday
that re-label is counted as a update to GitHub
so the bot wouldn't have written a comment
anyway, can talk more about this later

anyone ever had an HDMI cable fail on them?
since last night I've been having some weird issues with my shield
first when I got home the colors were washed out
everything worked after reboot for a while then it started freezing
so I rebooted and couldn't get the display to show
tried again today, and tried disconnecting and reconnecting HDMI, which fixed the issue
but now I'm getting a constant HDCP error on apps that I was using before without issue
@minor nexus ive had so many odd issues iwth hdmi cables that came out of nowhere....always worth replacing the cable to see if hte issue still exists
ive once had the audio completely die in one
guess I've been lucky
it may be a shield issue though. I just tried another reboot and now I'm getting a blank screen
it's clearly outputting some sort of signal because my display detects that it's active
looks like a second reboot fixed it Β―_(γ)_/Β―
sounds like a hdmi handshake issue
sometimes it may depend on what device was turned on first
but it seemed to correlate with the latest OS update
oh on the shield
TV's always the one to be on first
they added a bunch fo CEC settings under Display and Sound
check those and see if one of them will fix it
I saw that but haven't played with them yet
therse liek 6 options in 7.2.3
good call
I've also messed with some of the dev settings so... can't blame them entirely
lol
Does anyone have suggestions for finding decent prices on smart switches (preferably z wave)?
@deft reef I use the GE/Jasco switches and they occasionally go on sale, but I find their regular price to be decent
and since you will rip your hair out trying to reset the GE switches, it's cheap to just buy new ones!
have not had to do that yet :X
Haha, thanks
Another curiosity I have, that I haven't really found anything definitive on when googling, is whether to use wifi or z wave devices for simple things. I like the idea of the lower power draw with z wave and for all the basic switches and sensors it seems like the way to go. But is there really an advantage or just mostly different?
Personally I use Z-wave for many well supported things. I wouldnβt want 20 WiFi light switches around the house for example. Too many clients on consumer grade routers can eventually cause problems, so having a separate dedicated network is nice.
That being said, I like stuff that works well and is full featured, so I donβt use Z-Wave thermostats or Garage Door openers for example. I went more mainstream consumer for that.
@humble pond thats why I use unifi, nothing like having 200 clients around the house with no issues
I also have a full UniFi setup, but even having 14 IoT devices on my network makes me cringe... even if they are segmented.
Hmm, I haven't heard of unifi. I'm just starting my setup. My current thinking is z wave for all the switches and small sensors, wifi for the larger or more complex devices and running two networks. But I need to look into this unifi
@humble pond why? banish them to the 2Ghz network. I only allow my clients to use 5Ghz at home because it is infinity much faster.
@deft reef its semi Enterprise grade networking gear
@deft reef careful with the unifi bug, or you wind up with this (don't mind my in progress wire/organization mess)
haha
@brisk glen - The same reason I chose Home Assistant over something like Smart Things. China doesnβt need to know everything about me.
thats why I have mine in a IoT vlan and firewalld off
Or replace China with hardware startup of the month, or multi-national conglomerate.
you want to access that china server? too bad I GeoIP block all of china

Got 10$ digitl ocean credit - dont got a clue for what I could use it - ideas?
@hearty depot https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand
Looks nice - Overread the project at least a year ago - only downside is that I pay trustzone for a vpn service π€¦
I moved all my stuff from OpenVPN to Wireguard. The Wireguard setup is stupidly easy. The only issue I have is that in Android they're forced to use the UserSpace module in a lot of phones, so the phone will complain about battery usage. The interesting thing is it's really the app making the network connection that's using the battery, but Wireguard is getting blamed!
Running tcpdump on the remote interface where the phone traffic appears is, em, eye opening. The amount of traffic that goes to Google from Android even when you purposefully disable a lot of the services is crazy. Only traffic to my mail server is greater
It was the arrival of the scripts to create the QR code (for the client config) that turned WireGuard from a PITA to easy for me
@clever mortar They are very damn handy π
Up until then getting the configs over was a faff, now it's easier than anything else
Now I just want the Android app to support intents so I can control it through Tasker
I've got a road warrior setup for my phone and laptop, with multiple point to point line between two colo boxes, home and Digital Ocean. Has been reliable as hell.

guess I should update my python in my venv, system health says it is 3.5.3
At least before the end of summer
Didn't you say something about 3.5.3 going out of support for ha @clever mortar π€
3.5 will be dropped, at some point
The plan is to support current + previous Python release
So, today that's 3.7 and 3.6
IMO, go 3.7
now I need to figure out how to upgrade python with venv, I'll browse around π
Easy
Damn, too slow π
you just got selfblogged-pasted by lud, burn!
π
You "wasted" time by writing "Easy" π
difference between programmers and normal people, we waste time with extra lines for fun π€·
π€£ For anyone here is "normal" π€£
I'm... kinda... normal ? no wait...
Be warned, it's a couple of hours (ish) on a Pi3 to compile Python
thank goodness I retired the pi π
but I'm def doing a vmware snapshot before proceeding
I used 55 min (with the script for Hassbian) last time I tried it
I'll time it for my env
Courtesy of #332318336111214602 I now know about running Qemu to build packages for the Pi on faster hardware
I'll be using that to build a .deb for my upgrade to 3.7
oh... that sounds interresting π
3.7.2 is latest
hmm, reading through the guide, I don't see any steps about copying configuration etc, is the config preserved by following it then ?
yes
yes
π€£
The config are under the home dir for the user, while the venv containing the python packages are elsewhere
oh right. I'm misreading the paths, I just saw homeassistant/homassistant and thought it was the /home dir, but ofc it is the /srv
thankfully I'm doing a lot of copy paste, but now , to clean my glasses π€
making python reminds me of gentoo stage 1 of the olden days, this was a lot slower than expected for sure
normal....... yah. I am running a nginx reverse proxy server on OVH that also houses my website that connects to Home Assistent over my Zero Tier One network
No need to port forward at home
I am basically running a self hosted version of the Home Assistent Cloud for remote access
@clever mortar @light trout roughly 50 minutes to follow the complete guide for me (y) and it works π
It costs a little more, but the management UI and resonse of their support is far more superior IMO
I touched the management UI once lol
oh hell ARM64-2GB gives me more
guess I am moving over to Scaleway if all of my images support arm
Damn, Scaleway are cheap competitively priced
I use the ARM64-2GB for most things
That is the instance I mentioned earlier @clever mortar π
β¬2/month is cheap enough to make it viable for running a remote VPN server that I control π€
that's actually a really good idea
I run Wireguard on my "VPN" Pi as it is, but having something "out there" could be handy at times
Please add your billing details to activate your account and enjoy an immediate voucher of 30β¬ π (valid until end of month)
well shit
@light trout Im going to try it now
Should I get some Xiaomi or something else for a cheap camera to try the streaming component?
no
~8ball Go cheap?
You've Got To Be Kidding...
Seems legit...
mean bot
There are days I'd swear it's sentient...
"Cheap" doesn't have to mean low quality, though small and cheap often does
if you want to test set up your phone as a camera
Right, I guess that's possible as well
well this sucks
server is out of stock
something was WRONG with their docker app deploy so I deleted and went to re create the server
I should not have to fix shit out of the box
Open a support ticket
doing a generic Ubuntu as that was what it was anyways
I was thinking it was some pre Configured Alpine
Dropping support of 3.5.3 will be a pain for those doing venv on Raspbian or Debian.
3.5.3 version of what?
Python
god damnit
venv?
Not really @strange vapor , it will take time, but the prosess is "easy"
troubleshooting windows storage spaces and roce that just randomly crashes hyper-v hosts
so many things I hate in one sentence
I'm on venv, I've upgraded from 3.4, to 3.5, to 3.6
It's not hard, just slow on a Pi @strange vapor
2 more hours to πΊ o'clock @clear ferry π
@light trout I've had three beers since my daughter was born in october, so I need one for sure, especially after all that hyper-v nonsense π€’
Definitivly need to silence this bastard from filling up my logs π€£ ``` 2019-03-22 14:11:31 WARNING (SyncWorker_16) [homeassistant.components.ps4.media_player] PS4 could not be reached
this should do it right ? π€ logs: homeassistant.components.ps4.media_player: error to get rid of the above
@light trout when will you fix this (sure a programmer is a programmer) π π https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/19303
Home Assistant release with the issue: 0.84.1 Last working Home Assistant release (if known): 0.83.1 Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.): Hassbian, raspberry pi 3b+ Component/platfo...
wasn't there at python 3.5.3 and HA 0.89.2, but did appear at python 3.7.2 and HA 0.90 it seems, but people have been seeing it for a long time it appears π€
@light trout what on earth are you running on ARM64-2GB?
any kernel updates break the OS hard
That is not a python issue @clear ferry
@brisk glen hassio, nginx, docker, and some build scripts
@clever mortar Run Debian so that where possible everything is nicely packaged and I don't have to worry about security updates etc. As soon as you start requiring compiling new versions of software like Python, it becomes something that has to be manually kept up to date and most people simply won't π¦
π€· So make your choice then
Upgrade the whole OS, or just Python
The problem is, HA can't support old versions forever
Fully agree that it can't, but I'd expect it to support the version that's on Raspbian by default!
Sadly Raspbian isn't going to support anything newer than 3.5 for some time
Hassbian will handle that, but those on a manual install have to solve it themselves
Python 3.6.0 is over 2 years old now, that Raspbian still doesn't include 3.6 isn't really HA's problem unfortunately
Besides, you should have been here for when Python 3.4 was dropped... that was a complete non-event
Lots of noise in advance, and when it happened it was more a fizzle than a bang
It will be when the support requests start coming in π I'm fine in that I'll probably just run it in a Sid LXC instance and get on with life, but expect support requests as to why odd little things aren't working a they use shiny newness not available in 3.5
That's what I'm saying though, the requests at the 3.4 drop... didn't happen
Anybody on Hassbian will be taken care of
And bluntly, if you're on a manual install you should know what you're doing π
All 3 recomended installations will be handled π
most things
Or, you know, understand what you're doing in general
Linux depends are fine, but I've been using *nix for "some decades"
If you think modern distros are bad, you ain't seen anything π
I am too lazy to have to be careful
docker are fun, untill you need to create windows containers....
Docker is fun until you let java devs near it π
@light trout stop saying gross things
I... like vegan pizza
That's ok, it gets better π
pineapple pizza however
I've seen Docker depends being hell :/ Fun outage in a large testing environment because one of the upstream "FROM:" made a security fix that broke the downstream container during RUN time.
Ah yes, I've had similar things elsewhere when a library update broke everything that used it π€¦
ie, Docker is a tool which avoids certain problems, but at the cost of a whole load of new ones π
Currently working supporting multiple large Kubernetes clusters, it has been "fun".
Could be worse, could be Centos 7 and PHP :/
I might switch over to kube once I can wrap my head around it
@brisk glen https://k3s.io/ is a nice way to run it for small scale testing
Easy to install. A binary of less than 40 MB. Uses only 512 MB of RAM.
Had a simplesamlphp install fail yesterday after getting an update. Turns out that when it was deployed they just used the PHP package supplied by Centos 7 which is PHP 5.4. In the last version of simplesaml they made an update to a safer way of verifying passwords called "verify_password()". This was introduced in PHP 5.5 in 2013
Cue much hilarity.
@clever mortar BTW, very much playing devil's advocate on the Python 3.5 thing. Can happily run newer versions on VMs/Containers on my own kit. Would be interesting to keep 3.5.3 in Travis after support is dropped as a non-blocking canary test.
When the 3.4 drop was planned, I too expected a train wreck. I was (pleasantly?) surprised when it was barely a thing
As long as the recommended installs all handle Python upgrades (Docker and Hass.io are done, so it's just Hassbian to go) then I don't expect major issues
Well, except with the newer arrivals who've just blindly followed one of the other install methods and are operating so far out of their depth it's scary hilarious
Just missing the curl -s http://home-assistant.io/trust-me.sh | sudo bash option.

Would love to know if the above has been spotted in the wild.
Has anyone thought about using Slack or Matrix or something for community communications instead of Discord? Don't get me wrong Discord is a great tool, but for massive groups with multiple discussions going on a tool with thread capability would be far superior.
i use slack and discord @dusty sierra
from experience the Matrix was horrid
Slack would get expensive for the project
The free Slack service is pretty limited
yea discord is free, and i just realized i misread his comment lol
Good point there @unreal orbit
@brisk glen I had the same experience with Matrix, but there's people attempting to drag me back there claiming it has been massively improved.
Iβll give it a few more years. The fact that they lost a lot of backers does not look good
error: snap "canonical-livepatch" is not available on stable for this architecture (arm64) but exists on other architectures (amd64).
nooooooo
There's an open source alternative to Slack: https://mattermost.org
@light trout Firing scaleaway, the data centers are just too far from me.
the lag is real
while it has fewer integrations in 3rd party products the base user experience is identical
maybe a bit less support for rich media snippets as well
And would require the project to host it...
Would be a great service if they put a datacenter in north america
Sorry I can't help with scaling for >2000 people but for 100 active users even a small Synology NAS is fast enough
Online currently - 2K ish π
discord is free and hosted on their servers
To be honest, moving away from any existing service requires that the current one has enough pain points and the alternatives significantly better
That's the only reason that this still isn't on Gitter π
you need to beat that or come up with an option that outweighs the pain of moving etc
We where on gitter, problem was, it was a glorified IRC
is there a way to tell HA to not log "things" for more than three days?
sincerely I don't need the log of four days ago.
Yes, see the recorder component https://www.home-assistant.io/components/recorder/
so I plan on buying a couch next month, what are my options regarding smart-ifying it
i was thinking smart led strips under it to make the floor look funky
load sensors under the feet to guess how many people are on it
i don't have enough of a social life to ever have more than one person on it
does make me think though, I wonder if it's possible to detect people using lasers n shit
person sits, bottom of couch lights up where he sits
followed by the ceiling-mounted machinegun seizing up
@brisk glen I have purge_keep_days to 2 days but the logs goes up to 180MB. I have only three sensors how this can be possible?
@midnight adder Nice recliner where you can motorise the reclining function! Have it recline to favoured position when you hit play on your media player!
Any A/V home theater peeps in here that might be able to answer a stupid question of mine?
Perhaps, what's the question
Well I'm trying to accomplish something that most people think is stupid, but if it's possible, I wanna try it.
Like Trump becoming President?
I'm trying to allow my new Sonos play bar to play audio along with my existing receiver audio.
This looks cool. Anyone look at this doorbell sensor? https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/azu3s8/turn_your_wired_doorbell_into_a_smart_doorbell/
My receiver is pretty old, but it appears it has an optical in, and out
Should just work then,
Just plug in optical?
@normal thistle personally I would just put a $10 xiaomi switch at the front door
I did, and it only plays out of the existing speakers. Wonder if I am missing a setting in the receiver...to allow it to also pass through to the Sonos
Hmm
I'm looking for something turn-key
The only input with optical in and out is MD/TAPE
@normal thistle you'll need to wire that into the AC voltage of your doorbell
@rapid musk how is your Receiver connected to your sources. Hdmi?
No, my receiver has no hdmi ports at all.
So is it an optical cable from the TV?
Basically my ShieldTV sends hdmi to my TV and my TV sends optical to the receiver.
Yes, on the back I've switched the optical from the TV to MD/TAPE (in) and selected that source, then ran the Sonos to MD/TAPE (out) and it only plays on the Polk Audio tower speakers
@hushed basalt seems like it would be pretty easy to wire into the doorbell wires. it's low voltage ac and not constantly powered on
Have you confirmed the sonos works when you plug the optical in the tv straight into it
The main reason for this is I don't wanna spend $800 on a sub yet. If I can get this to work, I'll already have one that'll work fine
Yes, it works wired directly into the TV no problem.
Just check the manual of the AVR for settings
You should also see red lights on the output
If it's on
I did, it glows for sure
The inputs all are dark, but that output glows nice and red
Okay, let me consult the manual...I'm sure I can find it online somewhere.
Thx
You could also look through the menu of the avr
You might have to plug in composite
To your tv. Sometimes they only have menu on that
It's a Sony, solid 10 years old, maybe older
My TV doesn't even have composite. It's a 2 year old Samsung and it only has 2 connections on the back of the TV. The power, and the hub.
It's probably called MONITOR OUT
The hub has 4 hdmi, 2 USB, and 1 optical
Does your computer monitor support composite
Or if you have an old dvd recorder player with composite in and HDMI out as a work around
No, but I do have other TVs that do.
You've given me some solid ideas to try. I appreciate it bigtime
You could try that just to look through the on screen menu
No worries.
There is probably some setting called AUDIO PASSTHROUGH or something
π
There might also be something weird going on with different protocols
I'm not sure if the optical out on your AVR is like a direct clone of the input
Or if it's a special regenerated signal.
What is the model of your AVR
And do you have any other devices with optical in you can use to test
Checking
STR-DE997 Sony
Man, I really am not sure if I have anything else with optical in...
I plan on getting a newer AVR in the near future and this one will become the garage/shop tunes...but thats a couple months down the road
Wonder if it's strictly only for recording...?
By recording they assume you are using a tape recorder
I think I understand
You need to plug the tv output into a different input
Go back to TV Sat In
Actually SA-CD in
TV out to SA-CD in
And TAPE out to Sonoff
The tape in outs
Aren't supposed to be used at the same time
And it's possible the tv in won't pass through,
By design
So that leaves the CD in
Okay, so...
It's also possible that the tv out as DRM on it
So your AVR won't pass it through no matter what
Nailed it
Sound from all speakers on SA-CD selection
Freakin BA
I owe you a sixer π
Just watch out some content from your TV may have DRM flags on it
Or encrypted etc
Which means your AVR won't pass it through
There's ways around it by buying gear but I'd just save your money
Gotcha...well I'm watching Netflix as we speak and it sounds stellar
Lol, it's a 4K 75" Samsung OLED
Yeah, no players here. Just a shield TV. I'm a streamer, and my TV service is OTA and IPTV
Anyhow, awesome man! Thanks a ton! Seriously...
No worries glad it worked out
Now to putting back together my son's busted iPad screen...yay for me
This is why we can't have nice things

what happens when a network administrator sees the train wreck from afar
ipv6 without nat is great, just need a basic firewall
There are still tons of machines with RDP open to the world
Then people wonder why their account gets locked out
There are also lots of "servers" that don't even have fail2ban configured
I don't even port forward to ha anymore on my home net, I have it on the same vpn as my reverse proxy is on
I think I need mine public for the Google integrations
thats the thing, I can access it publicly

its similar to how HA cloud does it
Is your proxy not at home?
correct
Ah. Mines all running in docker containers on a Dell Optiplex. Including traefik as my reverse proxy
everything is dockerized as well except I am using nginx
just ordered a window sensor, motion sensor and another wireless switch

My house is in front of a school. I put up a free Wifi essid which could be connected to from the school, and the captive portal educated a lot of kids about what a Rick Roll is! Over 200 attempts in the first hour :)

[17616.438343] Under-voltage detected! (0x00050005)
[17620.598411] Voltage normalised (0x00000000)
[17645.558417] Under-voltage detected! (0x00050005)``` * over 9000
Swapped like 6 PSU. Should I consider buying new one?
So, im thinking of cable tieing some DS18b20 to the output pipes of my boiler and using that to monitor the tempreture of the water the boiler is producing
@real latch Could also be a problem with the USB cable
Well, it's either the cable, or you have a really bad run of luck on the power supplies
Of course, if you're using mobile chargers...
I've tried several PSUs. 2 of them were QC3.0 rated.
Yeah I know. But nevertheless they claim they are able to provide 2.5a@5v.
Only helps if the device can negotiate it
And I swear (well, my ampere-volt meter does) they do when charging powerbank.
Which suggests the powerbank can negotiate it
So what do you suggest?
For certainty, use something designed for the Pi
Cable can handle 2a@9v. PSUs providing it.
I've got a couple of Cheotec multi-port units however, that have been just fine
Like Pi official PSU or what?
That's the safest bet
I'm afraid that's not the cause of the problem but worth a try.
At least I'll get new PSU for NEW BOARD.
Undervoltage is either the supply, or the cable
Worth to mention that this unit has been running on cheap china PSU with 2.5A @ 5v claimed but was constantly running @ 4.6somewhat volts.
Official documentation claims that RPi3 without devices attached runs fine @ 0.5A
Typically, the model B uses between 700-1000mA depending on what peripherals are connected; the model A can use as little as 500mA with no peripherals attached.
The maximum power the Raspberry Pi can use is 1 Amp. If you need to connect a USB device that will take the power requirements above 1 Amp, then you must connect it to an externally-powered USB hub. Seems it's not PSU or cable issue.
You're getting an undervoltage report...
It's unlikely that the problem is with something other than the power
I swapped all PSUs I have at home which were rated above 2A @ 5V even though RPi3a consumtion around 1A at maximum. Probably faulty board or something.
What my job feels like sometimes https://i.redd.it/ym62ut67fxn21.png
Done, esp home made that super quick
Its all being done on the eletrical side of the boiler, where the 230v comes in for the boiler and thermostat reciver
cool, how do you read the data out?
Ive cable tied these to the corisponding pipes
the heating temp is attached to the return pipe for the heating loop and the hot water temp is on the hot water out pipe
ah so more the pipe temp not the water itself, right?
its close ennough, the pipes are copper so have quite good thermal conductivity
cool
how is the sensor wired to the board?
and what board do u use?
ds18b20 right?
Yep, they are wired to the board using wago connectors to dupoint wires
And the nodemcu is on a breadboard
do I need a resistor?
I've got one, but IIRC the node MCU has a build in one
hm i got a spare dsb lying aroung, never knew what to do with that but that's a great idea
So I have a question for any of you with August locks. Do I have to get the 'Connect' to use it with HA?
@pure vine may I ask you some details in private?
@gloomy canyon yeah
I just realised I might want to have a loose sensor in there to get the ambiant temp of the box making the readings more accurate
What do you all use as home servers?
RPi3 running in undervoltage mode π
Wow :D
I feel like my Synology 8GB nas is under powered
I'd cry if I was running on RPi :D
Thatβs my setup
Why? CPU Load around 4% with throttled CPU.
I don't just run homeassistant though
Running HA, UniFi WLAN controller, pihole, esphome, tor proxy, mqtt server.
VS Code with HA extension makes life sooo much easier.
Hmmm HA extension
I run plex, sonarr, radarr, hydra, ombi, openvpn, tautulli, jenkins, duplicatti, and more
@hushed basalt what else are you running? I think Iβll have to get Ombi, my user base is expanding for plex! Also duplicati seems pretty good
What do you use Jenkins for?
@tough igloo ombi is good. You'll need a good reverse proxy though
