There are wifi OBD2 modules, but you'd probably have to make the integration yourself

clear ferry May 16, 2019, 4:21 PM

#

Hmmmmmm I need a @light trout in a cage to make integrations for me 🤔

unreal orbit May 16, 2019, 4:21 PM

#

It would be cool to set one up to upload the data to an mqtt broker when you get home

clear ferry May 16, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

I thought the WiFi OBD2 stuff was only to connect them to the phone via WiFi, as in they presented an access point for you to connect to

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

If you don't car about all the info from the OBD2 and just car about home presence you can do this https://github.com/aderusha/MQTTCarPresence

GitHub

aderusha/MQTTCarPresence

WiFi device to announce the presence of a car for garage door automation - aderusha/MQTTCarPresence

unreal orbit May 16, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

I use that at my house. It works pretty well, not 100% though

clear ferry May 16, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

Yeah it's the info that is most interesting, the presence detection I'm trying to implement with Bluetooth or camera I think 🤔

unreal orbit May 16, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

If you pull in too quickly and shut the car off it can miss the wifi connection

#

(I use mine for the front door lock btw, not garage opener)

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:24 PM

#

Ah that makes sense too bad you can't hook it up to get power from the lights that stay on for like 30 seconds after turn the car off

clear ferry May 16, 2019, 4:24 PM

#

I would like an integration for all three cars, that send the milage to ha, and correlates it with my insurance milage cap , that would be sweet

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

That makes sense are you in the US or canada?

unreal orbit May 16, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

Just design your own OBD2 👍

#

Or just set it up with torque and tasker

clear ferry May 16, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

I need a coder gimp 🤔

unreal orbit May 16, 2019, 4:28 PM

#

Oh I'm in California if you were asking me

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:28 PM

#

I started to set it up with torque and tasker but the torque app is such a pain to use it needs a big update to make it much easier to use

clear ferry May 16, 2019, 4:28 PM

#

Norway here 😛

unreal orbit May 16, 2019, 4:28 PM

#

Actually that's a great idea with the lights

#

I was just about to hook it into a fuse directly

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:29 PM

#

@clear ferry oh I was going to say the Automatic would be perfect because it gives you millage, location etc, but only works in the US

#

I'm pretty sure they blacklist non-us vins from working

clear ferry May 16, 2019, 4:30 PM

#

Oof

unreal orbit May 16, 2019, 4:31 PM

#

I used to use torque back in the day. I might give that a shot. It would be nice to automatically log gas mileage data

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:32 PM

#

the real oof is it costs $100 and it used to include all the services for 3 years but now its 3 months for all the data then $5 a month

#

the only free stuff is like the obd errors and driving history

unreal orbit May 16, 2019, 4:33 PM

#

I don't know how well it's going to work when I use android auto though...

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:33 PM

#

no real time info

unreal orbit May 16, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

Alright now I convinced myself to buy another bluetooth obd2 connector 🤣

#

I paid for the torque pro app years ago, might as well get use out of it now

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

Same! I have it installed and have the connector in my car but I literally do nothing with until dash light comes on

#

So I am at work and I rebooted my raspberry pi, but now it won't come back online, Usually I just power cycle it manually and it comes back on. Since its storming outside I am kind of hoping for a slight brown out to power cycle the pi

clear ferry May 16, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

I do mechanic stuff myself on all my cars, so the OBDeleven plug I have is often used 😛 but some cheap China ones would be good enough for permanent installing in my cars

#

@dark swallow long live out of band management,not that shoddy raspberry pi stuff 😘 😉

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

Lol right. I need to put a smart switch on it so I can power cycle it anytime

#

except for the fact I use most my smart plugs through HA so I caught myself in a paradox

unreal orbit May 16, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

Just have one sonoff switch that can toggle the server on and off

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

@clear ferry does the OBDeleven app only work with their obd plugs or can it work with any plug?

clear ferry May 16, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

Only their plugs

#

And only VAG autos

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:45 PM

#

@unreal orbit and yeah I'm only kidding about not being able to control it without HA I can always just ask google assistant

unreal orbit May 16, 2019, 4:45 PM

#

True. But then you have to have a cloud integration 😉

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:45 PM

#

@clear ferry dang because that system looks slick

#

and lol again not opposed to them just rather not use them when I don't have especially for automations or other devices where other people expect a direct response

#

My family will hit a physical button and if the light doesn't come on immediately they freak out and start spamming the button. which just makes it worse

unreal orbit May 16, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

I'm opposed to them if that's the only option. I don't like the idea that it's just a matter of time before I will lose control of my devices

#

Every cloud service will end eventually.

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

cough nest cough

unreal orbit May 16, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

Exactly

#

That was one that I thought for sure would be around longer

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

But yup! I agree, or logitech

#

i have two remote hubs working perfectly fine with HA dec/jan comes around both stop working because they auto updated with no warning

unreal orbit May 16, 2019, 4:50 PM

#

Auto-updating platforms are the worst

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:50 PM

#

then I did the logitech fix and one still auto updated a day after i did it, kept doing it for weeks until it finally started to work again!

#

if only there was a better ir remote hub like logitech has

unreal orbit May 16, 2019, 4:51 PM

#

I've heard good things about the broadlink one, but others swear by logitech so I'm not sure which one is better

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

same, just the first remote my dad got has a terrible touch screen

#

also why can't they add support for using more than one hub in the same house!

orchid rose May 16, 2019, 4:53 PM

#

my guess is that logitech has far more features, but broadlink works extremely well for my purposes. I use a Harmony 650 remote for other stuff though and love it

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

Yeah logitech does have plenti of features including the ability to pair it to bluetooth devices and not just rely on ir works great with my diy kodi

#

all kodi commands go through bluetooth volume still goes to avr like it should over ir

vale slate May 16, 2019, 5:02 PM

#

@dark swallow you need to get your raspi on a UPS with an auto power cycle

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

@vale slate yeah I know I just don't know a which one to get

#

oh and the ups hats are constantly out of stock

clear ferry May 16, 2019, 5:19 PM

#

I should grab a ups from a customer next time they replace one, but usually the batteries are almost dead by then

#

Could probably get some cheap replacement somewhere

proven spruce May 16, 2019, 5:19 PM

#

aren't batteries the most expensive part in those

clear ferry May 16, 2019, 5:20 PM

#

Depends on the model is my experience

#

I need something that can keep a blade enclosure, three blades, two core switches and two Nas boxes alive for atleast 15 minutes 😛

#

Graceful shutdown is always preferable

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 5:23 PM

#

Lol most of my things I need graceful shutdowns on are raspberry pi's (HA, nas running omv, and kodi) so running them for 15 minutes would be so easy

#

the nas external hdds on the other hand I have no clue 2 of them are from like 2007 and probably have a lot of power draw

clear ferry May 16, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

That is just the stuff I need on ups, I have four times that in the rack😂

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

Lol I figured, I ideally I would want my pi's with poe so I can easily manage the power of all of them from one spot but i only have one B+ the others are justs B's

clear ferry May 16, 2019, 5:28 PM

#

There is a Poe hat right? Doesn't that work with all? I thought it just converted Poe to a usb plug 56v-5v

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 5:30 PM

#

No it only works with the B+ because there are 4 special gpio pins for direct power

#

sorry for directing the power from the ethernet to the hat and back

I had a stupid moment today

#

Showed upto therapist 24 hours ahead of time

#

Node Red tried to warn me. My time checker said it was 1400 minutes in the future

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 5:39 PM

#

lol thats great!

#

What do you mean node red tried to warn you? you mean it saw you going to your appointment and was like not today?

valid halo May 16, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

No no

#

I was setting up a Alexa Reminder automation

#

and the "time diference" between Epoch Event and Epoch now converted to 1400 minutes. I even converted that into hours and saw 24. I just didn't put the facts together that I was looking too far into the future.

#

Hell the date was 17th not the 16th

#

I just had a brain goof

dark swallow May 16, 2019, 6:08 PM

Adequate. About 10secs before stream comes up. Good enough for a doorbell camera though

Hmm. The demo vid of camera streams when it was released seemed very quick and responsive but all my testing is no where near as quick to show. (often doesn't stream on safari). So thought I might get google home thing to use instead.

10seconds is long enough for some numpty to open the gate and the dog to run out before I can see who is there / hold the dog back

Hi all, I have lurked around the HA project for quite some time. Now buying a house with the misses and excited to finally get to implement a system of my own. The home we are buying has a 3 zone furnace setup. I have been following the google induced drama around the Nest Thermostats and I dont subscribe to ecobee's cloud first mentality. What are other thermostats that I should be looking at? Priorities for me are ease of use in case my older inlaws are in the house, wife acceptance and of course HA integration. Appreciate any advice.

so one thing i've noticed with HA is that if i connect to another wifi network, say for example at a restaurant, HA does not like it for some reason.. anyone ever notice this?

clear ferry May 20, 2019, 1:14 PM

What do you mean? Connect your ha to another network?

valid halo May 20, 2019, 1:15 PM

Are you using an app? DuckDNS? Cloud?

#

Are you carrying your Pi in your pocket?

clear mirage May 20, 2019, 1:16 PM

basiclly connect to my HA from another network. I am using duckdns

valid halo May 20, 2019, 1:16 PM

#

What does HA do when you try to connect?

clear mirage May 20, 2019, 1:16 PM

#

it just tends to hang, or says unavailable.

clear ferry May 20, 2019, 1:17 PM

#

I don't use duckdns, but I connect to my ha from atleast 10 different WiFi networks per week

valid halo May 20, 2019, 1:17 PM

#

Hmmmm

clear mirage May 20, 2019, 1:18 PM

#

its only once in awhile it happens, so it might be the wifi network i'm on. I mostly notice this when I'm connected to the wifi network at the model railroad club i belong too

#

i did have a thought though that would be a interesting automation... so if there was way to motorized the opening/closing of windows, that if say your not home and you have a couple windows open and it starts to rain that the windows would then close..

clear ferry May 20, 2019, 1:40 PM

That is easy to implement I guess, I even heard someone in the #creator-connection did that when local bushfires broke out

@hallow stratus Did you set your routers DNS servers to point to ad gaurd?

hallow stratus May 20, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

I can't find the setting on my router for some reason

#

Says in the adguard guide, that it should be under DHCP, but I can't see it

dark swallow May 20, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

Is it a router from the cable company or one you bought?

hallow stratus May 20, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

Cable

#

VM Superhub 3

dark swallow May 20, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

Yeah I think they locked it down so you can't change the DNS Settings. You'll have to get a router and put the Superhub in modem mode

#

Or just have individual devices point to Ad Guards DNS

hallow stratus May 20, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

Ah man, that's just great, thought it might of been something like that.

#

Is Pihole the same?

dark swallow May 20, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

Sadly yes, pihole works the same way. I'm in the same situation but with AT&T

#

It should work if you just point individual devices to the DNS server though, doesn't work for things like smart tvs though

hallow stratus May 20, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

Okay cool, how would I go abouts do this?

#

Any downsides, besides manually entering for every device?

#

Oh, so you are saying it has to be setup on the device itself?

dark swallow May 20, 2019, 4:45 PM

#

Not really any downsides except having to do it to each device

#

and yes you have to do to each device and change the DNS settings

#

some allow you to set DNS settings based on the connection, like whenever connected to this wifi network use these dns servers

hallow stratus May 20, 2019, 4:46 PM

#

Ah, I got to many devices for that. Nevermind, appreciate your help @dark swallow 👍

I have Tabs for each floor right now but only have a minimal setup

hallow stratus May 20, 2019, 6:02 PM

I've have it set by Rooms, but I've seen many prefer to do by device. Not sure if I should switch over.

#

The homescreen consists of grouped devices.

wispy wharf May 20, 2019, 6:04 PM

If I had more things per floor I could see doing by room but most floors only have things in one room right now

I'm trying to setup duckdns, upon setting up port forwarding on my router, it's asking for local/external start port and local/external end port, what do I enter?

#

for local start it should be 80, right?

unreal orbit May 20, 2019, 6:58 PM

#

HA runs on 8123 by default. Unless you changed something or use a reverse proxy that is the port you want.

hallow stratus May 20, 2019, 7:00 PM

That also says 8123

hallow stratus May 20, 2019, 7:02 PM

In his video he says something different

#

then in the end ports to 8123

ok it seems in the video was for forwarding let encrypt, which isn't needed

Hey guys, what is the best way to install home assistant?

#

I had hassio once where I really liked the simple installation of add-ons. but It was confusing to use shell scripts there

midnight adder May 20, 2019, 7:28 PM

#

@swift edge Hassio

#

What do you mean by shell scripts ?

swift edge May 20, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

I had a script (whatever.sh) that pushed my config to github. but I wasnt able to use it with the Shell Script Component

midnight adder May 20, 2019, 7:30 PM

#

Ah I see. I personally find add-ons really powerful and love Hassio

valid halo May 20, 2019, 7:32 PM

#

IIRC hassio restricts what the shell scripts can do

hallow stratus May 20, 2019, 7:41 PM

Does Duckdns work without entering port?

#

I have to enter :443 on the end, for the page to load

Dunno, never used one. From the outside it looks like an interesting option though

#

Gotta go, bye

wintry crow May 20, 2019, 8:25 PM

#

As long as you prefix the URL with https:// then you shouldn't need :443 on the end, as browsers automatically know that https is over 443

clever mortar May 20, 2019, 8:25 PM

#

DNS has nothing to do with ports @hallow stratus - it's the web browser that requires the port if you're not using the default port for the protocol

What would you recommend to buy?

Cool, thanks for the affirmation. I will look at Dell too. Damn thing is so cute and AMD though. Holding off only because the Syno is doing a decent job with some heavier programs offloaded.

#

@tawny pebble For Carbon Dioxide I use Awair myself. Others tend to include a screen and be more expensive: It also senses dust and VOCs. For Monoxide and smoke, hmm. I still have a protect -- Nothing comes to mind I've seen that's directly supported with the sensors split out. DIY maybe? Sorry

Now i've triend it wit bitwarden also subdomain to ip:7277 bit i cant access it

clear ferry May 21, 2019, 3:01 PM

#

@lime anvil then you probably screwed up port forwarding or the proxy, we don't know 🤷

#

@soft zephyr what do you need ports for?

lime anvil May 21, 2019, 3:01 PM

#

port forwarding is 443 and 80

#

i can access home assistant just fine with ssl

#

so if i did screw up that would be an error to right

soft zephyr May 21, 2019, 3:01 PM

i have 5 HA instances with same ISP, them have different services and rest sensors and i doubt nabu casa help me with ports

clear ferry May 21, 2019, 3:02 PM

@lime anvil if you haven't forwarded the port you are trying to access you logically cannot access it

#

@soft zephyr then you might need a site to site VPN between the sites alsp

7277 is also portforarded don;t know if its needed

I'll add my voice to naba casa as well, but I'm also puzzled as to why it'd be needed. By necessity 443 and 80 have to be handled, so you can shift to an interior proxy forwarding system in your own network. I use ports right now for the internal proxy, but could just as easily use path contexts over the same ports @soft zephyr with a little work.

Ya know there's something that always comes up for me when I read about home automation with a bunch of ESP's or cameras or wired sensors. Where do y'all get all the plugs and such for that. Do you just have power strips everywhere?

I only have one nodemcu but I want to get a few sonoff basics to make a few things and one power bar smart.

So I haven't played with the TTS on Hass yet but wouldn't you need some sort of bridge/player to connect to your speakers that can play or interpret the output from Hass?

#

Or I guess my question is what are people using for that piece

storm summit May 24, 2019, 3:38 AM

#

Yes. Chrome. Alexa. Sonos. And more

balmy inlet May 24, 2019, 3:42 AM

I use chromecast audios (RIP) and google home mini's for TTS, they work great

just dont go buying all of the Chromecast audios off of Ebay I called them first

@strange vapor since you enjoy musical instruments, have you ever seen a guitar with a rj45 interface ? 😛

strange vapor May 24, 2019, 10:58 AM

#

@clear ferry Have a Line 6 Variax 😃

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 10:59 AM

#

I have a variax 300 too 🤣

strange vapor May 24, 2019, 10:59 AM

#

Old one, but it's fun.

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 10:59 AM

#

I love it

#

I used it in a band when I had to play both bass and guitar, so I detuned the whole guitar a whole octave in software, then it was a bass 🤣

#

Just saved it as a preset

strange vapor May 24, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

I find the tuning thing disconcerting if I can still hear the strings.

#

I have to have headphones on or a decent speaker behind me 😃

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

yeah, agreed, but I hardly ever can

#

at home I play with headphones

strange vapor May 24, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

Only alt tuning I tend to use is DADGAD.

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 11:01 AM

#

that almost looked like a slideguitar tuning 🤔

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 11:16 AM

#

I have never tuned DADGAD, but it sounds really nice on youtube mindblown I need to try it out

strange vapor May 24, 2019, 11:25 AM

#

It's really popular in Irish Trad music.

#

Have actually carried the Variax into a trad session as they wanted extra people in and it was the only guitar I had down home with me. Confused the hell out of some people when I set it to acoustic and started working away!

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 11:30 AM

#

haha yeah, I know, I played it in concert a few times, and people go like whaaaaaat, but that is an electric guitar

#

I don't like the 12 string sound, but the 6 string jumbo is better than any of my 6 string jumbos 🤷

strange vapor May 24, 2019, 11:38 AM

#

Generally tend to use just the Jumbo as well, although in the case above I used the Banjo once or twice to truly freak people out 😃 Also find that I can pull off stuff on the Variax with it's electric guitar action which I can't pull off on a proper acoustic.

#

I generally tend to cart a keyboard to trad sessions, but you have to be there early to get space to setup. When that fails, my preference is acoustic guitar, but if there's already a few there I'll carry in an acoustic bass guitar.

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 11:43 AM

#

I've wanted to buy an acoustic bass for some time, but I think I would rather prefer to rebuild one of my electric ones to a fretless 🤔

#

or get a small upright like the one Tony Levin has

strange vapor May 24, 2019, 12:30 PM

#

The Acoustic Bass is great, but has to be hooked into PA or have a small amp.

#

Even the likes of the Blackstar Bass Fly does the job handy for small sessions.

Why did you say RIP to Chromecast?

@balmy inlet

Sorry, I was thinking Chromecast

dark sparrow May 24, 2019, 1:37 PM

Sad to see chromecast audio go, really liked it. And I planned an intercom system

@dark sparrow I'm used to work on 40 and 100Gbit, hence the sadness 🤣

dark sparrow May 24, 2019, 1:38 PM

Sadness

#

I wish I had a business so I could stock up to 1Gbit

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 1:39 PM

#

Anyone can get 1Gbit in norway basically, do you have to be a business where you are from ? 🤷

dark sparrow May 24, 2019, 1:39 PM

#

Apparently. My house is locked to Vodafone and their highest cable internet speed is 1Gbit

#

And business only

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 1:40 PM

#

is that a 1Gbit\1Gbit or ?

dark sparrow May 24, 2019, 1:40 PM

#

Let me check

#

Oh my

#

It looks like it came down to customer level

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 1:41 PM

#

depending on the vendor you can have here it will usually be somewhere between 80-100USD per month for 1Gbit synchronous with no limits

dark sparrow May 24, 2019, 1:41 PM

#

I could get 1 Gbit without having a business with 1gbit down and 100mbit up for 80

#

But do I really need it 🤔

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 1:41 PM

#

meh, non synchronous lines are so 2005 😛

dark sparrow May 24, 2019, 1:42 PM

#

Germany is so 2005 lately. Or the EU in general

#

We literally have a NFC chip in our IDs yet the EU doesn't push that further

hearty depot May 24, 2019, 1:43 PM

#

up on a induction plate and done

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 1:43 PM

we've had NFC in our passports since 2008 I think 🤔

hearty depot May 24, 2019, 1:43 PM

#

still a valid id

dark sparrow May 24, 2019, 1:43 PM

#

Well, it's no use if EU doesn't try to get companies involved

#

And I feel like they don't really know what exactly the internet is

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 1:44 PM

#

I think I've used the NFC part in atleast 3-4 countries in europe, and I believe they required me to have it when going to the US

dark sparrow May 24, 2019, 1:44 PM

#

Well, america is fairly modern imo, EU is still somewhat stuck on old ideas

#

The most exciting thing we have so far is mobile payment and that's only in some stores

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 1:45 PM

#

we have google pay in atleast 50% of stores now, which I do enjoy

#

biggest problem is my company credit card I have to use the chip still 🤣

dark sparrow May 24, 2019, 1:46 PM

#

Yeah that's the thing here, most banks don't have NFC chips even tho all the terminals have that capability

#

I'm lucky to be with N26

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 1:46 PM

#

oh, all the banks have it, alteast for 2 years now

#

it's the stores that are slow with nfc

dark sparrow May 24, 2019, 1:47 PM

#

Well, my mother's still doesn't, neither does my brother, father etc.

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 1:47 PM

I do enjoy that I can use my NFC (both android pay and credit card) on the tube in london now, nice for business and leisure travel

dark sparrow May 24, 2019, 1:48 PM

#

So do I. I have a SmartWatch, my card, my phone and getting an an NFC implant soonish . (yes, I'm that kinda guy)

clear ferry May 24, 2019, 1:49 PM

I was concidering it, for my access cards (I have roughly 30 access cards to datacenters) but because there are atleast 4 different standards I gave it up

if you have 8 failed cards you are doing something worng, check your PSU
