mild cloak Apr 25, 2019, 1:21 AM

#

spotify kind of sucks for automations, because it forgets the source constantly.

#

like if it goes into an idle state for an hour or maybe even less, it'll forget what device it was last playing on and then when you attempt to play anything it says 404 source device not found or something. it only seems to remember alexa devices

Ahh, thats good to know. I use google home.

yeah google play music would probably be a better choice in your case then. Although i don't have any experience with GPM to know if there's any drawbacks with that.

toxic ivy Apr 25, 2019, 1:58 AM

#

@mild cloak the major issue I run into is that all the good playlists around are all spotify.

#

Also, some music I like is on Spotify and not GPM for whatever reason, like Rammstein

#

I heard that with Spotify I can have a song playing on my phone in the car and then move into the apt and "Send" the song to my google home and it will keep playing seamlessly.

mild cloak Apr 25, 2019, 2:08 AM

#

Yeah I use Spotify myself, I prefer the UI and feature set and there's apps pretty much every device. But it just sorta sucks for automations in my experience due to it constantly forgetting the device/source list.

#

What you described works very well when using their official mobile app. But not so much anywhere else (third party apps / services / HA).

#

Here's an example of what i mean by it forgetting the source list, an error i just got inside HA with Spotify.. Failed to call service media_player/media_play_pause. http status: 404, code:-1 - https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/play: Player command failed: No active device found

Worst I've seen was a screw up that meant some servers in the rack had all ports plugged into a single switch.

We have a PXE images which runs on first boot, and reports back on hardware and cabling. So LLDP info is reported as well.

It threw a massive red flag on all ports being hooked up to the same switch.

Before we sorted the scripts I mentioned above, I remember sitting next to one of the network engineers here. I had to go in over iDrac/iLo to servers and kick them so she could see what ports on switches were going up and down. I don't recommend this as a good debugging method 😦

@strange vapor I have seen some smart patch panels that work with lldp CDP, that is nice, you can see the other end on a LCD on the patch panel, and it just passes it through to the switch

#

Can't remember the manufacturer though

strange vapor Apr 25, 2019, 3:27 PM

#

I remember a company trying to sell us some special Cat-6 with a light pipe and special RJ45 connectors. The idea was that you could put a special light source on one end of the cable, go to the far end and see which RJ45 was glowing. Nice idea, but stupidly expensive.

#

Something like https://www.cableorganizer.com/mertek/evo6-patch-cord/ but I don't think that was the company.

Cableorganizer.com

The Evo6 Cat6 and Cat6a patch cable from Merktek allows instant self-tracing in high density applications, dramatically cutting maintenance and installation times.

clever mortar Apr 27, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

You can either follow https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/raspberry-pi/ for a manual install of a Hassbian type install, or follow https://www.home-assistant.io/hassio/installation/#alternative-install-on-generic-linux-server to do a Hass.io type install

#

However, I'd suggest that you're better off buying another Pi if you're going down the Hass.io route

sick parrot Apr 27, 2019, 6:25 PM

#

Thanks.
So it should work if i do a manual install.
I agree I may run on a seperate pc afterwards once I build things up but initially just wondered if it was possible.

clever mortar Apr 27, 2019, 6:26 PM

#

It will work - many of us don't use the Hass.io installer

#

Heck, many of us started long before it was even a concept

sick parrot Apr 27, 2019, 6:27 PM

#

@clever mortar great more late nights for me I forsee 😆

clever mortar Apr 27, 2019, 6:28 PM

#

We all suffer from that at first

#

And beyond, actually 🤔

lone heart Apr 27, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

@late gate just out of curiosity why not a second SSID? I’m planing to get my sensors also in a different VLAN but at the moment I’m planing to do it for teh wireless clients with a second SSID

sick parrot Apr 27, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

I got my first sonoff's 8285 yesterday and installed tasmota on them their working great so bow ive got the bug to automate my home fully 😆

late gate Apr 27, 2019, 6:39 PM

#

@lone heart because adding SSID will degrade the wifi, while assigned VLAN on one dont

lone heart Apr 27, 2019, 6:47 PM

#

@late gate yes I’m aware of this, I tested it in my setup wich two AP and the step from 2 to 3 SSIDs (or 3 to for if you want to cont the 5gHz SSID extra) with about 60 clients was not significant degraded. But 200 Devices and another setup is maybe different.

late gate Apr 27, 2019, 6:49 PM

#

@lone heart Personally I have no issue with running multiple AP. It was also about the simplicity to keeping it to one, and not having to move over units. I was also thinking about installing windows 2019 in a VM to just control the network stuff as unify will integrate directly into it

lone heart Apr 27, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

@late gate From the handling point it would be a clear advantage. I would need to flash a lot of devices for the new SSID. Maybe I will add this to my futur projects pile 😉

late gate Apr 27, 2019, 6:56 PM

#

hehe yeah I think its down to being a bit lazy having to go through all units. I just want to have a local administration where I can do things like MAC auth with no need to do passwords etc on devices and eleminate people to guess the wifi passwords

#

just so sad its no real linux alternatives. the only UI for freeradius is something that lokks like from 1995

lone heart Apr 27, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

that’s really unfortunate

late gate Apr 27, 2019, 7:21 PM

#

yeah I will just run a win server for now. running unraid so quite easy

What would be a good base OS for HassIO? - Just using ubuntu - But I dont think that the Gnome desktop is needed

clever mortar Apr 28, 2019, 8:35 AM

#

#330990055533576204 would be the place to ask that 😉

#

The advice in the docs is Debian or Ubuntu, but obviously nobody expects that you'd install a desktop environment...

lone heart Apr 28, 2019, 12:48 PM

#

@clear ferry that dosen't say if the system is vulnarable only that the cpu is affected. You can test the actual vulnarability with spectre-meltdown-checker

in case you don't know this

clear ferry Apr 28, 2019, 12:50 PM

Using a small PC bought from one of the cheap ass chinese sites last year as a firewall/router. Has actually worked great using very little power. Unfortunately the damn mSATA SSD in it just want bang 😦 Have the old router as a backup, but none of the nice magic for hitting HA from my phone setup 😦

I know a lot of people here have purchased from Gearbest. Has anyone ever gotten them to successfully reship an item? I ordered a phone on March 20. It shipped March 23, and there have been no updates to my tracking info since then. Customer service keeps trying to delay reshipment and keeps feeding me lies about them contacting the delivery company.

#

All my previous orders arrived in 10-14 days

#

I'm on day 43 now, and day 40 since any update.

distant stream May 1, 2019, 12:04 PM

#

IMO just mention the word chargeback

#

Since you have not gotten an item

#

Itll motivate them.

#

I was on day 12 of waiting for a CC refund from RallySportDirect. Said I would get my credit card company involved and recover the costs that way. Refund magically showed up today.

Hello, I just joined the channel. I'd like to move away from ZIPATO and start using HA. I will install HA on a RPI3 and maybe later on QNAP. but my question? shall i exclude all zwave from Zipato and then include them again in HA? My Ziapto is actually broken, so cannot use it anymire..

Just factory reset your zwave devices and reassociate, also zwave questions go in #zwave-archived @midnight adder

oh wrong change thax

azure lily May 1, 2019, 12:30 PM

#

@distant stream My one concern with mentioning that is that I'd prefer them to reship. If they think I'll charge back they might think that it's not worth reshipping as they take the same loss either way.

Yeah thats a reasonable concern

Hmm, has any of you found a consistent way of turning android tablets' screen on and off? (And keeping them on when you want it)

clear ferry May 1, 2019, 6:02 PM

#

For a console ? I just enable debugger mode on Android and select keep screen on when charging and stick the charge cable in on my fridge tablet

glossy mortar May 1, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

I'd rather not have a tablet with the screen on 24/7

#

I've got a turn off/on system working consistently with Tasker and an MQTT plugin, however it seems after the display has been off for X amount of minutes, it just decides to disconnect from the MQTT server.

clear ferry May 1, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

That feature will keep the screen on if you turn it on and off if you turn it off 🤷

glossy mortar May 1, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

I've got motion sensors in every room, and I want the tablets to turn on and off automatically.

#

No amount of adding to battery optimization exceptions, setting performance mode, wifi always on, etc, seems to keep the connection alive...

That sounded like overengineering 🤔

I'm up to about 100 yaml files. I'm way past over-engineering. 😉

The most stable I've found so far is Join, however that requires internet connection, and tends to go wonky on the regular.

Hello, I'm new to this whole home automation, is this the correct place to ask some questions before I buy stuff that won't work together? 😃

clever mortar May 2, 2019, 11:06 AM

#

There's a bunch of channels

#

Pick the one that's relevant (for example, if you're asking about Z-Wave, try #zwave-archived)

#

If it's "build it yourself" then #diy-archived

#

And so on

#

For everything else, there's the component list, and #330944238910963714

ruby agate May 2, 2019, 11:07 AM

I guess 433 is a #diy-archived then?

clever mortar May 2, 2019, 11:07 AM

If it's off the shelf, using the build in component, more #330944238910963714

If you're soldering stuff, or otherwise assembling things, then yes #diy-archived

Hi everybody, I'm a bit OT. Any of you here using pi-hole (doesn't really matter if through HA or raspberry or other..).
I'm trying to have mine working but sometimes it just hangs and won't load pages.
Google brought me here https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/pi-hole-not-loading-websites/3872

Tipps for configuring Pi-Hole?
When I set it as a primary DMS server in my DHCP settings and I reboot the hass Host I crypple my whole lan due to no name resulution

strange vapor May 2, 2019, 2:15 PM

#

Haven't used Pi-Hole, but DNS has a built-in mechanism for this.... Multiple DNS servers 😃 Is it possible to run multiple Pi-Hole instances and sync the config etc?

#

Lot harder in execution depending on the state that has to be shared between instances.

valid halo May 2, 2019, 2:46 PM

#

I remember I set my Pi-Hole as my primary DNS and set 8.8.8.8 as a back up

#

Huh

#

turns out I need to set my Pi-Hole as my only DNS for it to work

#

if I set 8.8.8.8 it uses that

#

if I set 0.0.0.0 then it uses Pi-Hole

hearty depot May 2, 2019, 2:52 PM

did do almost the same - (1.1.1.1) But the Pihole isnt realy down - so I sttill dont get an name =/

valid halo May 2, 2019, 2:55 PM

#

The ability to resolve hostnames on the LAN. For example, connecting to a machine behind the router by its hostname will not work.

This shows up as Caveat 2 under "set pi-hole" as only DNS server
