@twin dagger I rarely receive something that's broken actually

#

had a bootlegged gameboy game or two come in that didn't start up or save but other than that it mostly just works

#

i generally don't get stuff that goes on the mains though, other than tuya and xiaomi stuff

orchid rose Apr 13, 2019, 10:07 AM

#

@untold dust, milight bulbs with diy gateway would be one option. Cheap, runs locally (mqtt) and so far zero issues for me except for the lack of support for fade effect. https://github.com/sidoh/esp8266_milight_hub

midnight adder Apr 13, 2019, 10:09 AM

#

rgb milights are a weird bunch though

#

i have one laying around and it doesn't do the full rgb spectrum

#

only some odd HSL 80 to 100 thing

orchid rose Apr 13, 2019, 10:11 AM

#

the quality of light is probably not on the level of the better ones, but I use them mostly for accent lighting and I still use halogen lights for my ceiling lighting

#

i'm quite fond of yeelight myself

orchid rose Apr 13, 2019, 10:11 AM

#

they are three times the price though iirc?

midnight adder Apr 13, 2019, 10:11 AM

#

ordered one yesterday, 16 bucks for the rgb one

#

they're a bit more pricier yeah but the build quality is superb

orchid rose Apr 13, 2019, 10:12 AM

#

not bad. What wattage?

midnight adder Apr 13, 2019, 10:12 AM

#

uh

#

lemme look that up for you

#

i believe it was somewhere in the ~6W range

#

ah, 10W

#

for 800 lumens

orchid rose Apr 13, 2019, 10:13 AM

for 10W that's really not a bad price. Might get one just to try it out

they're wifi

#

no gateway required

orchid rose Apr 13, 2019, 10:14 AM

#

oh

midnight adder Apr 13, 2019, 10:15 AM

#

don't bother hooking them up to the mijia app though, for some reason they have less functions in that app compared to the yeelight app

#

but HA finds them automagically anyways

#

I was thinking about getting tradfri stuff yesterday but didn't want to spend 40 bucks on the hub or the hassle of doing it DIY zigbee so I just ended up ordered another yeelight

#

tradfri smartplugs are too bulky anyways

#

i'm using losonho-branded tuya plugs instead

#

I still have to flash them for HA, I should do that today or tomorrow

orchid rose Apr 13, 2019, 11:25 AM

#

I guess the Yeelight color version is RGBW but only either warm white or cool white and not CCT?

midnight adder Apr 13, 2019, 11:26 AM

#

no clue, I only have regular yeelights atm

#

my regular yeelights can go from cold to warm tho

#

don't see why the rgbw's can't

orchid rose Apr 13, 2019, 11:28 AM

#

the regulars have both cool white and warm white leds while the rgb ones may not have one of them. In that case they would use the RGB leds to form the warm or cool white temperature which isn't as good as having a dedicated led for it

clever mortar Apr 13, 2019, 11:30 AM

#

Yup, having an RGB-CCT strip that's temporarily in RGB mode - RGB faking CCT is underwhelming once you've experienced CCT

Wanting to lose some weight, anyone here use a smart watch or fitbit? Trying to decide if I should go full on smart watch or not. Dunno how useful the smart watches are, anyone using HA at all on a smart watch?

orchid rose Apr 13, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

The only thing I can think off that would benefit home automation is presence detection with bluetooth. Maybe if you don't have a voice assistant it would work as one though which some might find useful. For the making you work out part, I've heard from my brother that it does help with that. He has some galaxy gear iirc.

rain swift Apr 13, 2019, 2:48 PM

#

do you know if you can load HA up on the watch? or any talk of a google wear app? lol.

orchid rose Apr 13, 2019, 2:55 PM

#

There's probably some sort of a web browser app for them so maybe it can sort of work. Would setting up a custom UI be possible now with the different users?

#

so you'd have one user with only access to the stuff you want to see on your watch? Media controls are probably the ones that I would use

yeah I use them for all my non-EU stuff

their size stops stuff from "sagging" off the wall

I don't really have that issue a whole lot with chinese stuff because they use 3 pin but the american plug never sits snug in any adapter

I hope this isn't completely out of place here, but you're the only people I know I might ask. Are there light switches that can replace my current (dumb) light switches with something "smart" but still "connect" my lights?

#

Thing is I have a lot of dumb light switches in my home, I would like to replace those with something that will trigger the lights in HA. Otherwise someone will always switch off the lights at the wall switch and then HA can't reach the hue bulbs

proven spruce Apr 15, 2019, 11:57 AM

#

the thing is... a switch cuts the electricity to your bulb, without electricity your bulb doesnt work. only way is to keep the bulb connected at all times inside the switchbox but install a smart switch which is only powered and control the bulbs with that

quasi spear Apr 15, 2019, 11:59 AM

#

exactly, the problem is the power is being cut when someone uses the dumb-switch. I hoped there was a replacement, which would still connect the lamps so the wiring could stay like it is but whichs switches would issue commands via zwave or whatever

proven spruce Apr 15, 2019, 12:00 PM

#

thats what i told you

quasi spear Apr 15, 2019, 12:02 PM

#

yes, I get that. But currently my understanding is that this approach would require me to mount a new switch in the switchbox, run the wires from the lights to the switch in the switchbox and then replace the wall-switches, correct?

proven spruce Apr 15, 2019, 12:03 PM

#

you use the existing L and N to power the switch and connect L in and L out inside the switchbox

somebody already tryed to set up a VPN behind Nginx?

just poking around a little - But most of the users are letting openvpn listen to 443 and then redirecting nonvpn traffic to ngnix.
Other way around would be nice

Nginx as a Reverse Proxy for OpenVPN (TCP 443)

Hi I've just set up an OpenVPN internally using TCP 443 as a port. Now I wondered if it were possible to use Nginx as a reverse proxy to connect to the OpenVPN, as I can't connect OpenVPN to the internet. If it's possible: Anything special to configure, or would a norma

#

@hearty depot third result on my google search ;)

hearty depot Apr 16, 2019, 9:46 AM

#

well thats the standard one for listening on 443 - I just try that ngnix listen on 443 and riderects the vpn traffic based on the url

#

would guess something like this could work

but this is only guessing

hearty depot Apr 16, 2019, 11:22 AM

hushed basalt Apr 16, 2019, 11:34 AM

#

Reverse proxies are hard

#

I think across the board they're not very intuitive

#

Docker compose makes sense to me. You can look at it and see how it works. Same with things like ansible, python, dockerfiles, etc etc

#

Proxy syntax though. Yeesh.n

clear ferry Apr 16, 2019, 11:35 AM

#

Apache > nginx 😘

hushed basalt Apr 16, 2019, 11:35 AM

#

I use traefik

#

By use I mean I've hacked away at the syntax until it appears to be working

#

Stupid stupid toml

#

[entryPoints] [entryPoints.http] address = ":80" [entryPoints.http.redirect] entryPoint = "https" [entryPoints.https] address = ":443" [entryPoints.https.tls] snsStrict = true minVersion = "VersionTLS12" cipherSuites = [ "TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384", "TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384", "TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305", "TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305", "TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256", "TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256", "TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA", "TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA" ]

#

What a nightmare

#

Also because toml doesn't rely on something as filthy as indentation, every header has to have the parent header in it

#

So you end up with this

[Parent]
[Parent.child]
[Parent.child.child]
[[Parent.child.child.children]]
[[Parent.child.child.children]]

quasi spear Apr 16, 2019, 11:48 AM

#

actually I think traefik is beautiful, but then I try not to use toml as much as possible

#

if you can configure it with container labels its pretty nice to work with (IMO)

I'm definitely just not comfortable enough with it yet to say "yeah lets stick that in a container and run it in prod"

quasi spear Apr 16, 2019, 3:14 PM

There was an update today I believe, at least my container got updated automatically today

#

what are the network problems you see? I haven't had any issues so far, but then I'm basically proxying nearly anything

rain swift Apr 16, 2019, 3:17 PM

#

I'm running on virtualbox I downloaded the VMDK from the website and converted it for vbox, it's like the nic for the container just craps out and switches to blocking from what I see in the console and you of course lose access to lovelace and then I have to reboot the vm

#

I mean maybe you could restart the container or something but i'm not real familiar with docker so I just bounce the whole vm

#

I have heard of others having the same issue.

quasi spear Apr 16, 2019, 3:18 PM

#

hmm, ok cannot say I've seen this - but I run a sizable docker swarm here

rain swift Apr 16, 2019, 3:18 PM

#

I had it once before after an upgrade, but I rebooted the vm and it seemed to never come back, then I had it again after the last upgrade

#

the crap part also is when I am remote all I can do is vpn into the network, ssh into the house and reset the vm from the command line

#

I'm sure that will lead to some kind of corruption at some point

#

ssh into the HOST not house

quasi spear Apr 16, 2019, 3:20 PM

#

so, the network interface on the whole docker-vm craps out?

rain swift Apr 16, 2019, 3:21 PM

#

it seems to be fine, other than the nic because the first time it happened I didn't know what was going on and when I opened my front door the alarm went off so home assistant was obviously still alive in there.

#

it just loses connection to the network

quasi spear Apr 16, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

I'm a bit confused, you run virtualbox with a virtual machine and inside this virtual machine you run docker. And in docker you have a homeassistant container, correct?

#

I'm asking because if the VM loses connection to the network, it would seem unlikely the docker container within would cause this (not impossible but unlikely).

#

That said, homeassistant/home-assistant:latest was updated two hours ago

rain swift Apr 16, 2019, 4:28 PM

#

no, I have a computer running virtualbox, which is running hassIO, so in the vm there are docker containers on hassOS? which is just linux, so home assistant is a docker container inside of a vm.

#

its basically running a vm instead of a raspberry pi

Thinking about building a mini greenhouse controller using a raspberry pi or arduino... thoughts on using zwave/zigbee plugs for switching on/off appliances (humidifier, heater, fresh air exhange, etc?)

#

or I guess sonoff could work

clever mortar Apr 16, 2019, 5:36 PM

#

"Yes"

#

Any of those would work

#

It comes down to whether you want them pre-packaged, and whether the greenhouse is within range of Z-Wave/Zigbee/WiFi, or you're just going to run a network cable there and run a Pi locally

tall pawn Apr 16, 2019, 5:37 PM

#

would be easier than using relays w/ the pi right?

#

wifi connectivity shouldn't be an issue

clever mortar Apr 16, 2019, 5:38 PM

#

Well, more that if you put a Pi in the greenhouse, range isn't an issue

#

If you don't, then you may need to chose your tech based upon what's in range

tall pawn Apr 16, 2019, 5:40 PM

#

I’m thinking a pi with sensors for:

humidity -> turns on/off ultrasonic humidifier
temperature -> turns on/off exhaust fan & heater
CO2 levels -> turns on/off exhaust fan & fresh air pump

#

so the pi would need to be attached to/inside the greenhouse for the sensors

#

with the smart plugs/appliances there also

#

unless i'm missing something, i've never done a pi/arduino project before

clever mortar Apr 16, 2019, 5:47 PM

#

You could get a Z-Wave or Zigbee humidity and temperature sensor

#

Almost certainly could get a CO2 sensor in those technologies too

#

For Z-Wave where you live will matter since there are regional differences in frequencies, and so what you can buy

#

Aeotec do a combined light/temperature/humidity/motion sensor, for example, that runs on USB power

tall pawn Apr 16, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

some of these snsors aren't suitable for greenhouses due to the 80-100% humidity levels

#

they're more designed for regular household relative humidity

#

but yeah

clever mortar Apr 16, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

Well, yeah, but many things will work in these conditions, and if you've bought cheap Xiaomi Zigbee sensors, you won't care if they only live a year or two 😛

tall pawn Apr 16, 2019, 5:50 PM

#

excess humidity on the sensors can cause inaccurate readings, especially for CO2

#

hrm, so many options can't decide

SONOFF BASICR3

SONOFF BASICR3 is a WiFi Smart Switch with the DIY capability that makes it possible to control connected devices via the eWeLink directly from your phone.

#

It shows on the page the Home Assistant logo, but I don't see any information about how I'd integrate it with HA.

#

just noticed this: Note: This is a pre-sale product. It will be delivered on May 5th and the DIY mode will be available in middle May.

How's things peeps? Quick q I hope. There used to be a cog when you clicked on an entity in the UI that let you rename it and change the entity id. I don't see that anymore...it seems the only want change the entity name is to go through the Entity Registry which makes it hard to match entity ids to actual zwave devices, etc. or am I missing something obvious?

#

Another issue that anyone using geofency might be able to help with. I've set up the Geofency integration and set the webook address in the app but I'm still getting an unregistered webook entry in the log and my location isn't being updated for the device. Nor does the device register in the known_devices.yaml.

#

There was a bug that said you still required the geofency: component in configuration yaml even though it was configured through integrations but it doesn't matter whether the component is specified or not it still complains about the unregistered webhook

Any Raspberry Pi users here? I'm a complete noob when it comes to hardware and could use some guidance. I'm want to build something simple but clean to control temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels in an indoor greenhouse (growing oyster, shiitake, etc. mushrooms). I was thinking I could use a Pi w/ attached sensors to read the variables and then send signals to a smart power strip to turn on individual components (heater, humidifier, fresh air exchange, etc.).

Does that sound logical? My question when it comes to the hardware/Pi part is how do I build something like this while keeping the circuits away from the excess temperature and humidity (75-85F & 80-100% RH). Most of these blogs/tutorials I see use something like the DHT22 temp & humidity sensor which doesn’t look easy to run and mount into a room while keeping it safe from the moisture. Same thing for these CO2 sensors (https://tinkersphere.com/2363-thickbox_default/carbon-dioxide-co2-sensor-arduino-raspberry-pi-compatible.jpg) Am I missing something?

dull chasm Apr 18, 2019, 2:12 AM

#

i have a pi that runs a fishtank and it is directly above the tank only seperated by a piece of plywood.... my suggestion would be to put the pi in proper juction box and mount ehe sensor on the outside.......have spares to replace as necessary because they will fail with 100 humdity at some point .........ds1820b are great for temps but dont provide humidty

tall pawn Apr 18, 2019, 2:13 AM

#

CO2 sensors are more expensive at $50-150 so I'm not too fond of the idea of replacing them frequently lol

dull chasm Apr 18, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

oh shit i have fooled with them

tall pawn Apr 18, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

I was just wondering what standard practice is for these types of Pi controllers. Surely there has to be a good way to mount sensors?

#

that one I linked has the circuit board attached right to it... can't imagine it would last that long?

dull chasm Apr 18, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

is co2 ok with reading with fans

tall pawn Apr 18, 2019, 2:15 AM

#

what do you mean?

dull chasm Apr 18, 2019, 2:15 AM

#

so if your jb had evaculation fans to lower humidity

#

would co2 stil be accurate

tall pawn Apr 18, 2019, 2:16 AM

#

hm, well I want CO2 levels in the tent

#

because mushrooms don't like too much CO2

#

so I figured I would have a fan that can pump fresh air into the tent, and one that could pull air out

#

effectively lowering CO2

#

that fresh air pump would run through a water bucket with ultrasonic humidifier disks, so I would turn on fresh air pump and humidifier if i need to raise humidity

dull chasm Apr 18, 2019, 2:17 AM

#

understand if the co2 sensor was inside the junction box and the juction box box had fans that removed humidty would the co2 still be accurate

tall pawn Apr 18, 2019, 2:18 AM

#

oh so you're saying regular the humidity inside the pi box that sits inside the greenhouse?

dull chasm Apr 18, 2019, 2:18 AM

#

yep

tall pawn Apr 18, 2019, 2:18 AM

#

and if I do that to protect the pi, would the CO2 levels be accurate with the different humidity

dull chasm Apr 18, 2019, 2:18 AM

#

yes

tall pawn Apr 18, 2019, 2:19 AM

#

I'm not sure, but I'd imagine having the sensor inside the box would vary it a bit, pumping air in/out of the tent I don't know how long it would take for co2 levels to "stabilize" throughout

dull chasm Apr 18, 2019, 2:19 AM

#

but would it give you a value that is still usable and linear

tall pawn Apr 18, 2019, 2:20 AM

#

good question I wish I had the answer to lol

#

maybe just have to find waterproof sensors

dull chasm Apr 18, 2019, 2:20 AM

#

well just find out if co2 is based on humidy

#

if not your golden

#

maybe not based but affected

tall pawn Apr 18, 2019, 2:25 AM

#

Thanks... if anyone else has experience with sensors and pi lemme know 😃

i have a humidy sensor/temp dht and a ds1820b along with serial communition to a pi

tall pawn Apr 18, 2019, 2:26 AM

#

something like this seems like it might be better? I could run it anywhere in the tent and keep the PI outside of the tent

#

A lot has changed @languid turret, you won't be starting from scratch, but don't assume your old experience will match your new one

#

It's still Home Assistant, and it still (mostly) uses YAML. The UI is different, there's a huge number of new components and features, there's a few components that have gone (like where the service they used went away), and a bunch of things that have changed a bit.

5% in this scale is a lot of $

Pff, Everybody except Dell does the same, and if you don't keep it on warranty it ain't critical imo 😛 as long as you have a single HPE server on warranty you can get the firmware for any server in that range 😆

Hey guys, got a quick question. thoughts on installing HA on a esxi VM(ubuntu or centos) vs running on a raspberry pi? the research i have seen has said that if you want to build out your HA that the rpi will become slow over time with a lot of automations and such. just wondering everyone thoughts here, i kinda want to future proof it so i wont have to migrate down the road. also wondering if i am losing any features or compatibilities going one way over the other. thanks in advance. still new to this.

dell 🤢 but sun 😄

clever mortar Apr 18, 2019, 2:25 PM

#

Bigger hardware === better

#

Dell is fine, and I've had less trouble with Dell than HP

#

In terms of features, the only thing the Pi brings is GPIO pins

#

If you've got "real" hardware, and it's stable, use it

regal frost Apr 18, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

have a google search appliance im running, essentially a dell server rebranded

clever mortar Apr 18, 2019, 2:27 PM

#

Yeah, I know some folks "play" too much with their system and use a Pi for the separation it brings

#

If you're not regularly bouncing the host, IMO it's a better long term choice

#

That said, 2.5 years on a Pi3 and only now beginning to plan a migration

clear ferry Apr 19, 2019, 12:54 PM

#

Same as zwave, but cheap usb too

analog hamlet Apr 19, 2019, 12:54 PM

#

IS there a supported usb stick that has both zwave/zigbee? I saw some mentions in forums but not sure if it was officially 'supported'

6.5 -> 6.7 was a GOOD update, almost no CPU usage, and it only uses about 70% of the RAM it used to use @clear ferry

clear ferry Apr 19, 2019, 12:55 PM

#

@clever mortar is building the cheap ZigBee stick for like 10€or something I think

@light trout sounds strange, let it sit for a few days, probably one of your vms not releasing memory back to the hypervisor 😂 and remember to upgrade VMware tools and the virtual hardware version

#

Samsung had to smart and have all my ports closed on my phone

#

so right now the only one open is for SSH

#

so node-red on s7 is kind of a bust

light trout Apr 19, 2019, 12:59 PM

#

allready done @clear ferry , earlier after a reboot it would go to about 30% CPU on idle (after about 2h), now it has been running for 24h and are @ 4%
same with RAM, usually pushed 100%, but has now settled around 70% 🤷

clear ferry Apr 19, 2019, 12:59 PM

#

Nice, might be the upgraded tools and hardware that made the change

light trout Apr 19, 2019, 1:00 PM

Probably 😃

@clear ferry the ring security system seems to have everything i want, but why do some zwave products not have all the same functionality in HA? For example the abode security system can be arm/disarmed but it doesnt seem like the ring one can? both are z wave plus

clear ferry Apr 19, 2019, 1:03 PM

#

🤷

analog hamlet Apr 19, 2019, 1:04 PM

yeah...abode has all the integration i want with home assistant but not actual video doorbell to buy :/

#

and the cellular monitoring is like $30 a month, so no thanks

Has anyone done an automation that works off the position of the sun in the sky, and the angle?

#

I’d quite like to automate our pool filter so that it comes on when the sun is hitting the solar heater 🤔

An easier way would be to put a temperature sensor on it. The temperature shoots up when the sun lands on my dining room sensor. This would also take into account cloudy days.

Ruuvi looks like it could be a pool sensor if it truly is waterproof

i'm at a loss .. math seems not to be on my side

#

I'm trying to calculate percentage of water in a well and the arduino is spitting out numbers that are impossible

#

are arduinos bad at math ?

unreal orbit Apr 19, 2019, 7:45 PM

#

You're probably telling it to do bad math

vestal reef Apr 19, 2019, 7:46 PM

i've recalculated it ten times, it should be ok

sensor measures distance to water surface

unreal orbit Apr 19, 2019, 7:54 PM

#

Accurately?

vestal reef Apr 19, 2019, 7:54 PM

#

to the mm

#

I use following calculation to calculate the percent

#

percent = ((depth+offset)-distance)/(depth/100);

#

however, when I place the sensor exactly 20 cm from the surface (when it should say 100) it gives me 111-110 ... what am I doing wrong ...?

#

distance is also in cm btw

#

221 is 100% btw

unreal orbit Apr 19, 2019, 7:59 PM

#

(depth/100)

#

wut

vestal reef Apr 19, 2019, 7:59 PM

#

to calculate how much 1 percent is

#

if I divide height of water by number of cms per percent I should get percents right ?

unreal orbit Apr 19, 2019, 8:04 PM

#

(1 - ((distance - offset) / depth))*100 is the proper way to do what you want

#

If the distance is 20, that means the well is 100% full

vestal reef Apr 19, 2019, 8:05 PM

#

whats wrong with how I'm doing it ?

unreal orbit Apr 19, 2019, 8:05 PM

#

You're adding offset to depth, for some reason

#

Without using the arduino, just plug in some possible numbers to your equation.

#

You'll see why it doesn't make sense

#

If the well was 100% full, the distance would be equal to the offset

Anyone know about how LED controllers work? I got 3 led controllers for free. Two of them are white magic home ones like this one: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41iPqag8MmL._AC_SY400_.jpg and the last one is a black one like this: https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/bb7b1b01-0448-486a-a95c-d68e902b4dda_1.6845fe9d77164ee455f7cc0aac757291.jpeg?odnHeight=560&odnWidth=560&odnBg=FFFFFF
The white ones have 4-pin connectors, with those tiny pins like RGB strips for PC RGB lighting etc. and say RGB on the casing. The black one has 5 of those pins. I think those connectors are 5v, red, green, blue and for the 5 pin one, the last would be white?
I got 2 LED strips of the type WS2812b, which have 3 pin connectors(thicker pins and actual connectors). The connectors are 5v, Din and GND.
Is this incompatible then, or how will I make this work?

vestal reef Apr 19, 2019, 8:09 PM

#

a few examples
well is 100%
percent = ((221+20-20)/(221/100)
--> percent = ((221)/(2.21)

#

that should be 100 no ?

unreal orbit Apr 19, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

Yeah I just did it again and got the same answer. Are you sure offset is set to 20?

vestal reef Apr 19, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

well is 0%
percent = ((221+20-241)/(221/100)
--> percent = ((0)/(2.21)

#

yes

#

both are integers, thats ok right ?

unreal orbit Apr 19, 2019, 8:11 PM

#

No, that might be what's messing it up

vestal reef Apr 19, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

should be ... ?

unreal orbit Apr 19, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

float or double

vestal reef Apr 19, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

kk, I'll try, sec

unreal orbit Apr 19, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

Probably float

#

since it's a well

#

😉

vestal reef Apr 19, 2019, 8:13 PM

#

lol

#

EUREKA

#

😄

#

even more precise results now too 😃

#

need to get it rounded out tho ..

#

:p

#

altho.. might not really matther

#

fixed, changed percent back to int, nice rounded now 😃 no calculations on it anyway

#

now off to bed .. finally working.. took me days (from arduino start to this)

#

soooo rewarding tho 😄

Anyone have recommendations on best security systems that work with HA... currently have the Nest Secure and hate that I cant use anything besides the nest app to arm it...

What would you guys recommend as firmware for a D1 Mini with WS2812? I've tried McLighting, but it doesn't respond quickly to HA. So I'm searching, otherwise I'll have to mod McLighting

hey all... I'm using a hue custom component for reading hue switches and have been trying to figure out when the great migration is happening. i've read through what seems to be the big thread on it and missed a link to a roadmap

#

i'm running hassio 0.91.4 so i'm thinking i'm post great migration?

#

my hue lights stopped working from ha with a recent hassio update. just deleted them and setup the plugin again so that probably answers my question...

who can I cry to about this issue that won't go away with the network connection of my homeassistant docker container?

https://postimg.cc/gallery/2s1ypj116/

Album — Postimage.org

#

if I run docker stats when it happens I see no activity on the network for that container, all the rest look fine.

#

seems to happen close to every 24 hours

#

I think it has something to do with the fact that I set a DHCP reservation for the home assistant VM

unreal orbit Apr 20, 2019, 2:56 AM

#

Why not set a static IP? What is your DHCP running on?

rain swift Apr 20, 2019, 3:01 AM

#

yeah I am looking for how to do that, hassOS seems to be some limited version of linux

#

I run a pihole server

#

its odd that when the lease renews it would sh*t itself and just stop working though

#

I changed pihole not expire leases for now as an experiment until I figure out how to set the IP static

unreal orbit Apr 20, 2019, 3:06 AM

#

You expire leases for reservations?

rain swift Apr 20, 2019, 3:06 AM

#

I wouldn't think it would

#

I guess the container tries to renew anyways, it looks like it has a lease time of 86400

#

I found this nmcli command

#

got it
