I have flashed both with tasmota

#

Then mqtt to integrate in ha

tawny pebble
#

ohh so it'S tuya under the hood

clear ferry
#

Because they use Chinese cloud by default

#

Not interested

tawny pebble
#

cool! alright i'm try them. i was going for the lohnsonho but damn those are thick

clear ferry
#

Yeah I use them where I only need to use one outlet

#

Like my greenhouse

tawny pebble
#

i'll do the same. looking at my apartment, i've got places where i need them to be as small as possible but in others the lohn..the fat ones, are great

clear ferry
#

Just follow the tuya convert wiki

tawny pebble
#

well, thanks! guess i'll disturb you when it's flashing time ๐Ÿ˜„ or maybe not. it depends

clear ferry
#

And add the right template, and calibrate

#

And boom nice

#

Guess I have to open up the one that died

#

But it has a screw, it isn't glued

#

So should be feasible

tawny pebble
#

i hope it that for you. i did read the wiki and it looks not that simple to open them

I am not running docker so it makes something a little harder has anyone seen a guide for adding ESPHome tot he intergrations manually?

clever mortar
#

Well... that's a little off topic in this channel ๐Ÿ˜›

waxen falcon
#

oh ..

clever mortar
#

Nobody ever reads the channel names, or topics ๐Ÿ˜‰

How did you install HA?

Sorry you are right I didn't ..

It's ok, you're hardly alone there

waxen falcon
clever mortar
waxen falcon
#

got it ... thank you for being kind much appreciated

hearty depot
#

hehe.. I dont have to name a file .sh to run it .yaml works fine too I guess

#

somebody meight know If I even can move dockers from one host to another?

unreal orbit
#

Isn't that like... the point of docker?

hearty depot
#

I dont have guesed so ๐Ÿคฃ
I thourght the point was that it is easy deployable

#

just guessing that I can packup my docker-compose file and the folder i got the data stored in

unreal orbit
#

Well I do have a friend who could probably answer that question

#

I think you might know them

More actual traffic done to the likes of Netflix and Youtube for obvious reasons, but I can be pretty sure I always have connectivity to gstatic.com ๐Ÿ˜„

#

hmm.. wish I could use mini graph card as a badge in lovelace

hushed basalt
#

@hearty depot what's the docker question

hearty depot
#

if I can move them to a different machine - tar'd the opt for and copyed the yaml - not a tragic when it won't work. But still curios

#

Linux-Server.io Dockerfiles btw.
Just to lazy to set up mariadb and nextcloud again

light trout
#

backup config + persistant storage, move that to new host, install docker, setup containers on new host (compose or docker run) then ๐Ÿ”ฅ the old host.
tip: we do have a #449717345808547842 channel here ๐Ÿ˜‰

hearty depot
#

Where just in the process of backing up the files and dropped the question. Only don't know what is ment with back up congig.. oh probably also the persistent storage!
Compose is such a neat thing

#

.away zZzzZzz deam so late here

velvet horizonBOT
#

Underknowledge is away! zZzzZzz deam so late here :wave:

light trout
#

Config congig would be your compose file

hushed basalt
#

Are your volumes mounted

#

Config is usually the data volume

#

Most lsio containers have it in /data in the container

green inlet
#

So I create a bunch of backup folders on on an external hard drive of my stretch install. Install buster, go to the external hard drive and I can see everything but the folders I need. What am I doing wrong?

green inlet
#

When I go back to my stretch SD card, all the folders are there.

storm summit
#

@fluid ocean sprinkers are AC so you can't get the wires backwards.

fluid ocean
#

Hey guys, anyone familiar with how to hookup a sprinkler?

storm summit
#

but i think you should be more specific

fluid ocean
#

This ancient thing

#

Has a wheel dial

#

All mechanical

storm summit
#

heheh ...so there is probbably a common wire

fluid ocean
#

the first two look like the're from the AC adapter

storm summit
#

so i'm guessing that powers the timer

fluid ocean
#

3rd one has two wires going to it, a red and dirty grey

storm summit
#

the other 8 probably go to solonodies (1 wire to 1 solonoid)

#

the other solonod wire probably goes to the AC and they all tie together with a wire-nut.

#

oh yea.

#

maybe there are two solonodes on that zone?

fluid ocean
#

hmm, could be

#

whats the best way to check?

storm summit
#

got a volt meter?

fluid ocean
#

Yep!

storm summit
#

turn it on AC and go to town ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

fluid ocean
#

hehe

storm summit
#

i'd try to the first two

#

then a combination of one of the first two and 3-10

#

that would be my guess

fluid ocean
#

hmm

#

how would i turn on one zone?

storm summit
#

turn the dial?

fluid ocean
#

by hand lets say (with precautions)

#

with wires i mean

storm summit
#

oh, if you want to turn one on manually...

#

just connect the sonolnoid straight to power

#

i'm guessing 1,2 are the transformer?

fluid ocean
#

yes exactly

storm summit
#

yea. connect the sonolnoid to 1,2. the water should start flowing

#

the 3-10 terminal are basically switches

#

3-10 probably switch one of the 1,2 terminals.

#

i'm guessing 2 since its next to 3-10

#

so if you put a sonolnod on 1,4 and zone 4 is on, the water should flow.

#

all a guess of course

fluid ocean
#

so can i take 2 wires from term 3...

#

and connect each of the two, to term 1, and 2?

storm summit
#

no...

#

2 wires on term 3 proably means 2 solonoids.

#

you should have 2 wires for each solonoid. there are probably more wires somewhere with a wire-nut.

#

i would try taking #9 and connecting it to 1 or 2

fluid ocean
#

that sounds like a plan

#

Thanks man

#

i have homeassistant running in a docker

#

cant figure out how to add a addon

storm summit
#

hassio?

fluid ocean
storm summit
#

yea. thats not hassio which is why you don't see addons

fluid ocean
#

hassio is rpi i guess

storm summit
#

no, not necessarily.

#

you can install it other ways.

fluid ocean
#

im almost done with my thermostats

storm summit
#

you can install addons without hassio, its just way harder because there isn't a gui doing it for you. you have to do addons all manually without it.

fluid ocean
#

any docs on it?

storm summit
#

those are most all the ways you can install home assistant

#

which is why its so confusing. it sounds like you did column #4

fluid ocean
#

yep, have a monster server at home so docker's good

#

and fast

storm summit
#

then you probably want a VM with hassio

fluid ocean
#

with 16GB, etc

storm summit
#

16GB is monster? I guess it's all relative ๐Ÿ˜‰

fluid ocean
#

true.

#

hehe

#

Not even a baby monster, but in relative terms to my Pi collection

#

and NUC, and nVidia Jetson, and Atomic Pi...

#

anyhow. just need to know what files to modify to add the repos

#

thats it

#

im after heaty

#

to have nice schedules

storm summit
fluid ocean
#

hmm

#

time for a VM I guess

#

let me try this...

#

Hey does anyone know if an ultrasonic distance sensor will disturb my cat

#

considering they can hear it (i think)

clever mortar
#

#diy-archived may have folks with both ultrasonic sensors and cats

ocean mirage
#

There are easier ways to disturb your cat

clever mortar
#

Cats are naturally disturbed...

light trout
#

Ultrasonic cat?

midnight adder
#

Haha, well i made a automatic catfeeder ( will post on the forum later) and I wanted to measure the pellets in the container and i thought ultrasonic distance sensor would work for checking the level

#

Also yes, but it is his birthday today so no bully the cat

#

Ugh has anyone lately moved from Android to iPhone and a guide for me?

ocean mirage
#

Its been a little while, but the only real thing I did was transfer contacts

#

what are you having trouble with

boreal pewter
#

I actually just want everything that is possible as lazy as possible ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Guess that train has gone since I can't use the initial "Transfer from Android" option

dark sparrow
#

What exactly do you need to get from your iPhone?

ocean mirage
#

everything that is possible

#

explore all possibilities

boreal pewter
#

I even struggle with WhatsApp right now and that's just the first thing

ocean mirage
#

play the a n g e r y birds

dark sparrow
#

Im a former apple sheep and i can tell you its fairly hard. Most stuff you can get is your owned music, contacts, photos, and if you wanna pay 5$ for a 3rd party program to transfer whatsapp data

#

ANd if you're lucky some of your apps back up to an iCloud independent storage

boreal pewter
#

That's stupid

ocean mirage
#

Oh I see what you are trying to do

dark sparrow
#

Thats apple

ocean mirage
#

I never really bothered trying to move app data over, but also I've never used WhatsApp so I am not really sure whats on it

dark sparrow
#

Well, lucky me is selling all my data to cloud services like google photos etc.

#

But apple doesnt make it easy to leave their garden

#

but quite easy to move over into to theirs

ocean mirage
#

Yeah I remember last time I wen't to Android from iPhone it was a pain to get the contacts off the phone

#

when I wen't back to iPhone it was easy

dark sparrow
#

not really, as theyre mostly synced up to icloud anyway, and if not, iTunes is there

ocean mirage
#

Yeah I think I had to use icloud or something

dark sparrow
#

the hardest part is whatsapp and app data.

ocean mirage
#

Which I hadn't set up previously

dark sparrow
#

an iPhone without iCloud wut

ocean mirage
#

Never considered a need for it

dark sparrow
#

i personally think its worth it alone for the find my iphone

#

As it renders your phone useless to thieves once you lock it

ocean mirage
#

Is that on by default?

dark sparrow
#

if you set up icloud it should ask you for it, if not then its enabled by default

ocean mirage
#

I can't remember but I should check that

dark sparrow
#

let me check if its enabled on my 6S (which ive set up yesterday to set up homekit for my mother)

#

Yup enabled by default

ocean mirage
#

Guess I have it then, so I'd just use icloud webpage to do its thing?

dark sparrow
ocean mirage
#

cool, thanks for the info

dark sparrow
#

and locate it as well

#

and play a sound

ocean mirage
#

and its funny that you mention itunes too, cause I don't have that installed anymore either lol

dark sparrow
#

yeah its been a while since i needed it

#

its now on the Microsoft Store

ocean mirage
#

Huh

#

Yeah I donโ€™t really store music on my phone anymore so no need

dark sparrow
#

In the age of Spotify barely anyone does

#

Thats why iTunes (atleast for mac users) doesnt exist anymore

ocean mirage
#

I do like some things about Spotify but it doesnโ€™t have everything and I like browsing my own music

#

I have been using plex

dark sparrow
#

Yeah you wont fit a streaming service that has everything someone needs

ocean mirage
#

For sure

dark sparrow
#

spotify is keeping me only due to their SPotify Connect feature which (for some reason) no one has copied

ocean mirage
#

I did have Spotify premium in addition though, for a while. I like the random playlists and daily mixes and stuff

#

Spotify connect?

dark sparrow
#

Ye, where you can select different playsources

#

For example when im on my pc, i can control my phone's spotify

#

or on my alexa

#

and vice versa

ocean mirage
#

Oh yeah that works well

hushed basalt
#

It's annoying to integrate though

dark sparrow
#

I tried switching to Deezer, GPlay, Youtube Music (god YT Music is awful) and none offer that and i really value that feature

hushed basalt
#

I'm not sure if it's to prevent DRM

dark sparrow
#

I got my Pi as a Spotify Connect receiver so I'm happy

hushed basalt
#

I could never get it to work if either device was on ethernet

dark sparrow
#

Works flawlessly for me

hushed basalt
#

It's hard coded to only work on the same SSID afaik

dark sparrow
#

Well I needed to add my credidentals

ocean mirage
#

I believe deezer offers lossless free, thatโ€™s probably one reason itโ€™s so popular to pirate from

hushed basalt
#

I've done all the credential stuff etc

dark sparrow
#

Lossless music is awesome on my V30 with its Quad DAC

#

Are you using hassio or something independent?

hushed basalt
#

But it won't show up on my ethernet computer unless I access it on my phone first

dark sparrow
#

Hm thats weird

hushed basalt
#

Yeah it's on purpose

dark sparrow
#

if its on purpose I'd have the same Issue wouldn't I?

hushed basalt
#

Is your computer on ethernet only?

Anyone here who got experience with using a different router than the one your provider gave you?
I got a IGW3000, but I also have a ASUS RT-AC66U, with way more features.

clever mortar
#

Yes

crimson path
#

I know there is something called bridge mode, but seems like everyone on the internet, says that your provider have to set that up for you. However why is that?

clever mortar
#

No they don't

#

If your router supports it, bridge mode turns your router into a modem, so you can connect a router behind it

crimson path
#

What if it don't or at least you can't find any settings that seems to do the trick. What would my next step be?

clever mortar
#

Depends, with some ISPs you can just replace it with another

crimson path
#

Hmm I guess I have to wait for monday to ask them then

#

I don't see the option to change the mode

clever mortar
#

Google will likely tell you

crimson path
#

I tried but no real luck

#

Doesn't seem like its mentioned anywhere

clever mortar

A quick Google suggests it doesn't have bridge mode

Well thank you then, I'll contact them on monday then ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Hi guys, is anyone in the mood to help a noob wrestling with NFS please? Original problem over many weeks lead to doing a complete rebuild (raspbian lite python venv) a couple of days ago... since then got hass running but cannot put my configuration.yaml or automations etc developed over the last few years onto the pi because I couldn't get samba to show on windows. After 2 days of fighting with that this morning I went with recommend to use NFS - I have followed all instructions but am missing something simple: '''

Try the magic edit function

You can even copy and paste the quotes

light pawn
#

pressing enter for new line... in magic edit function just seems to post again?

clever mortar
#

Then you're doing it wrong

light pawn

so it can't be 'enter for a new line' per the instructions then...

clever mortar

If you got the quotes right it is

\`\`\`

3 back slashes?

Nah, that's just what I typed in there

sorry for being dim

I hit enter to get this line

You need the ` quote

not '

light pawn
#

ah

#

that was what I was missing thank you

light pawn
#

will try and edit above to correct now ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

clever mortar
#

๐Ÿ‘

#

Samba though... should be trivial to work with on Windows, at least compared to NFS

light pawn
#

had samba working with previous homeassistant install for a couple of years... so I agree. NFS was a move in frustration... need to get my automations up and running... plants dying etc.

clever mortar
#

scp allows you to copy those over too

If this is a new Pi though... why not install Hassbian?

thanks just reading up on scp

@dim ginkgo sidebar was just revised a few hours ago and is going to make it in 0.96.3, you can check the discussion in #devs_frontend-archived . But basically it's not going to expand on hover anymore and there will be an option under the profile page to hide it completely.

Yeah the rm 3

Thanks to whiskers for suggesting the smartir component

I need to figure it out, I have a temp sensor in the same room as it, so hopefully I can use that to regulate the temperature of the AC controlled by the broadlink when I set it up

hushed basalt

I have no idea what to set as the domain though

#

In node red

#

@clear ferry there is a temperature sensor component but I'm not sure if it just shows up in the front end

My integrated ac shows both set and sensed temperature I believe, so should be able to do the same with a emulated climate device I guess

Good day everyone. Need big help with new version. HA was up and running for quite awhile on a PC, today had a big issue with the hard drive so I decided to make a new install on a Raspberry Pi.. got it up and running after fighting to get the IP address I wanted, installed some addons, dropped my old backup config in it and apparently there have been a lot of changes since 0.83.3. Firstly, I had to set up my old mqtt (built in one) with no password cause of a crappy device that couldn't use passwords now I'm completely lost with the new mosquitto settings

#

currently waiting on a restart but I have a feeling my config has broken things

clever mortar
#

You forgot to read the channel topic ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

And yes, 0.83 to 0.96... that's one hell of a jump. Hope you took the time to read all those release notes

#

sorry.. I noticed I put it in the wrong place.. kinda panicked - my ha ran everything.. alarm system, lighting, HVAC.. lol

#

No worries, #330990055533576204 can help you with add-ons, and if necessary downgrading to 0.83.3

@clear ferry the thing with normal air conditioners is the remperature you set on the remote doesn't control the device directly. It just sets the thermostat in a way

#

So there's no real way to override the air con by giving home assistant a temperature you measured yourself

#

Especially with inverter models

#

So like if the air con thinks it's 20 degrees, and you have it set to 22 but your own sensor reads 24, it doesn't really matter control wise

#

The air con will just go off it's own sensor

#

Dumb radiator thermostats are another matter though

Oh cool, I actually managed to help someone with a suggestion lol

Hey, Not quite sure where to ask this but is there any problem in using hassio professionally? I have some people who have asked me to install the automation for their house.

I was wondering if it was okay to do so or if it's a no go zone?

I'm not sure about the license use situations etc, but beware of stuff like that

I'll keep that in mind before I decide

Still want to know if it's okay or not tho

hushed basalt
#

It's like when people 'make a website' for someone and they think it will take them 5 hours

It's a mine field.

What is it?

clear ferry

I looked at a lot of stuff, Supermicro 16-24 bay stuff, but none of them were complete with the latest backplane, so I ended up with a Dell R510 12 bay

I can just throw on some disk shelves later for more bays

cost me $130

ocean mirage

yeah fair enough

with all parts included

don't you have to do something hacky to get the raid controller to HBA mode with some of those dell servers?

nah, just a strip of tape and flash it

yeah, LSI firmware

oh okay cool

I remember someone talking about some sort of workaround for the dell servers that once done would pin the fans at 100% because it went to fault mode or something

My motherboard has dual 10gbe but I got no use for it nor any 10gb networking equipment

SFP+ typically about 0.3 microseconds per link. 10GBASE-T latency is about 2.6 microseconds per link.

@ocean mirage your 10gbe is inadequate

@clear ferry Just got rid of a 2010 Passat Estate. Loved that car. Comfortable, and fun to drive.

I've only driven a passat once before, but it is in the price range I'm willing to spend for a daily driver

Had it for six years, and I can't remember any serious issues with it.

I prefer VAG though since I have the parts catalogue avaliable and I have diagnotics tools for it

I had a Ford Focus before the Passat which I gave to my mother, and that thing is still chugging along. Have a Volvo myself now.

@boreal pewter aye, I've looked at double of what this car goes for, still nothing very interesting

Not the VW guy anyway, rather BMW and I've been looking at 2006-2008 BMW 523i, 525i, but all were in bad condition for prices up to 10kโ‚ฌ

Last week I bought a Mini then ๐Ÿ˜›

ocean mirage
#

Which Mini?

boreal pewter
#

Mini Cooper S Clubman 2018

ocean mirage
#

Is the clubman the long one?

boreal pewter
#

Yeah the 6 door one

ocean mirage
#

Ah interesting, didn't know they made that in the S

boreal pewter
#

Just a bit longer than the common S-5 door, overall just 4,25m tho

ocean mirage
#

Is the S still supercharged?

boreal pewter
#

And split doors in the back

#

It has 192PS, dunno if that counts "supercharged" ๐Ÿ˜„

ocean mirage
#

It counts if it has a supercharger lol

boreal pewter
#

Ah maybe I know it as Turboloader?

ocean mirage
#

Yeah it looks like its a Turbochager, as we call it here, not a Supercharger

boreal pewter
#

Yeah it has

ocean mirage
#

they used to have superchargers though afaik

boreal pewter
#

I think it is the model where some things changed due to german co2 and emission restrictions

#

But power and sound were still alright to drive daily 16km to work and back lol

ocean mirage
#

Yeah fair enough

#

How are you getting used to the central instruments?

boreal pewter
#

I will get it on friday hopefully, but exactly the interior was what I was checking the most since I find most cars like Ford, Opel, VW and Mercedes far away from beautiful. So that is also why I bought the Mini and not a comparing X1

#

So I like what they did there, it's out of just "the standard"

ocean mirage
#

Yeah I am not a fan of the look of the BMW X cars

#

and if I were spending that money on a big ugly SUV I'd get a volvo lol

boreal pewter
#

XC90 ๐Ÿ˜„

ocean mirage
#

Yeah something like that

boreal pewter
#

But honestly the X1 and X2 are from the measurement not really big, but still feel very comfortable. While the Mini isn't huge at all I still feel very well in there with over 1,90m body size

#

X1 and X2 would cost me 55k new tho

#

And the X4 made the best feeling ๐Ÿ˜›

ocean mirage
#

What did the Mini cost?

boreal pewter
#

Just below 30kโ‚ฌ

ocean mirage
#

Much better

#

I've never actually driven any of the X cars but I am not a fan

#

The bigger ones are just so bulky and most people have no reason to have that

boreal pewter
#

My problem was that my girl didn't want to have combi, and the look of a bmw 5xx as limo is just standard. So I wanted to go the direction of "coupe-like" car and actually only the X's do have that kind of feeling. And I don't fit in the 1xx, they're too small

#

While the mini officially counts as a combi it still is rather a coupe IMO

clear ferry
#

This is 39000NOK

#

But it has too much rust, something says clunk in the forward axel when I turn and the webasto needs service

#

If I could get it for 20k, maybe

ocean mirage
#

Oh yeah, not worth the hassle

boreal pewter
#

Oh overhauling the axel with the parts I think and then ofc on both sides is like 200-300โ‚ฌ parts + the work here

clear ferry
#

I do some mechanic work myself though

#

But meh

ocean mirage
#

Yeah you don't wanna touch that stuff if you can buy a different car though

clear ferry
#

Exactly

boreal pewter
#

atxbyea's prices sounds so much ๐Ÿ˜„

ocean mirage
#

I have no idea what its worth

#

Those type cars are cheaper in your continent than mine anyway

boreal pewter
#

So his VW would cost 4053,62โ‚ฌ ๐Ÿ˜„

#

@clear ferry is 276123,65 NOK a lot?

clear ferry
#

That would be more than I gave for my wife's 2014 Tiguan will all extras last year, so yes ๐Ÿ˜‚

boreal pewter
#

Well sure a 2018's Mini costs more than a 2014 VW ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Could have been that you tell that I could buy a house for that or so ๐Ÿ˜„

clear ferry
#

They appear to be 215.000 to 399.000 here

#

The mini that is

boreal pewter
#

So prices look like almost the same just that you guys like more 000's at the end ๐Ÿ˜„

clear ferry
#

If you buy outside of the cities, you could get a house for 1.000.000 ish, in Oslo you get a 11mยฒ apartment for that price, if you are lucky

#

A A8 will set you back 1.000.000 to 1.800.000

I wish we were part of the EU sometimes

The Swedes pay 100nok to import a car from Germany

In Norway it is based on bhp and emissions

So a Passat would cost like 10.000 in Germany, and 170.000 to import

Hmm so these xiaomi sensors are just double sided tape

#

But you have to rip them off to change the battery?

clear ferry
#

yeah, but you can just attach any double sided tape to the back afterwards

#

that said, I have removed and replaced the sensors 10 times already (to get a good placement) without the glue deteriorating

#

atleast for the door sensors

#

the temp sensors you twist to get off, so the tape stays on the wall

boreal pewter
#

I don't glue sensors if it isn't necessary, so only door-window sensors

#

The humidity sensor just lays in a cupboard

#

I also still have no idea how to fit the xiaomi led strip since if I use the built in glue I'm not too sure if it likes to be peeled off and reuse it when you move flat

clear ferry
#

the yeelight ones ?

boreal pewter
#

Yeah

#

I got 6m strip to put on the 3 sides of the bed which are not at the wall

#

And since the bed is shit and if we move in a bigger flat I definitely will pull that off and move it to a new bed

clear ferry
#

yeah, the tape was meh

#

but it stuck just enough on my headboard

#

which is fabric

#

but I will probably reposition it, but then I need to stick new tape on it

boreal pewter
#

Guess there is no big alternative with whatever I use. Even if I get some kind of "case" where I could just stick them in without glue I would at least need to glue that again

anyone got multiple hue lights in a group (and annoyingly have like 1 or 2 be in a different state at times?)..... wonder what your solutions are

#

@wraith temple HA can address the individual lights outside of a group. For example I have all the lights in my sitting room groups together, but mainly so I can turn them all off at once. The automation setup can address individual lights as necessary.

wraith temple
#

thanks @strange vapor i feel like a light group in this case is kind of pointless. i wondered if there was anything built into the hue component that checked if the light had turned on

strange vapor
#

HA gets the status of all the lights from the Hue. If you go into the Developer Tools menu, you can click on States up on top, and see all that's reported for each light

#

For example, for one of the lights in the room I'm in, as well as seeing that the state is on, I'm also seeing the following attributes:

max_mireds: 500
brightness: 254
color_temp: 443
friendly_name: <snip>
supported_features: 43```

#

Thanks @strange vapor I was kinda hoping when you turn a light group on it will check that the lights in that group are all on - rather than just send an on command and hope they all respond

#

Seems like Iโ€™ll use Node-Red to verify the lights in the group are all on when the group is triggered

Ah finally the discord I've been searching for all my life. Don't worry I don't have any questions. All my issues are solved via two hours of tracing wiring. I do love home assistant

hushed basalt
#

@wraith temple JB you can probably just send an on command regardless

#

As long as it's not toggle, it should just set all off lights to on and all on lights to no change

#

I'm not sure what you gain from a check of status

#

Think more in terms of declarative/desired state rather than instructional.

wraith temple
#

As sending on to the light group doesnโ€™t seem to reliably turn all 6 bulbs on

hushed basalt
#

Hmm

wraith temple
#

And same for off (1 or 2 are left in the opposite state)

#

not always - maybe once every 10 - 15 times

hushed basalt
#

What service are you calling exactly

#

That may be more to do with the lights themselves perhaps? What sort of lights are they

wraith temple
#

So checking state would correct that. I can do it via Node-Red, but wondered if the hue component had anything built in to check for a successful command

#

Hue ambient bulbs (no color adjust, just Kelvin)

#

I have them all in a light group

#

Then light.turn_on

#

Toggle doesnโ€™t work as if 1 of the 6 bulbs are on, the whole group shows as on, so you end up playing silly buggers with the light switch lol

hushed basalt
#

Lol

#

I suspect the intermittent issue is probably a problrm with Hue

#

Are you using the bridge or MQTT?

wraith temple
#

Hue bridge

#

I did want to remove the bridge and try zigbee - but that looked too much like hard work

hushed basalt
#

I use ZigBee2mqtt

#

I haven't used it with lights yet though. Just sensors

#

Do you get any response information from the group when you send the command

#

I suspect, if you want a check, it should go after the turn on/off command, not before

#

As I suspect the issue you're having wouldn't be fixed with a pre check. If the hue bridge is dropping commands etc it won't matter if you check before hand

wraith temple
#

Not dug that deep yet, was just planning on using node-red to resolve post command - will have a look and report back ๐Ÿ˜ƒ thanks for your help

hushed basalt
#

Yeah no problems. Let me know how you go because I'll have to do a similar thing eventually

#

But my strong guess is Hue is just dropping commands occasionally. Either in the bridge or the bulbs

clear ferry
#

Never had issues with the hue stuff, but I only have 5 bulbs there

#

Compared to the 40+ of the tradfri ๐Ÿ˜›

hushed basalt
#

How do you switch them

#

As in on the wall

clear ferry
#

I only switch with automations ThinkEyes

So can you turn on and off a light in your house without using a voice or phone?

@clear ferry I went from a Passat to a Volvo XC60.

This is only 140bhp, but chippable to 200

XC60 is 190bhp while sitting in one of the most comfortable seats I've even had in a car ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

@clever mortar its almost like some cars are sold on being a status symbol and not being a perfoming car

clever mortar

#

I've been in Skoda's that were better build and more comfortable than their Audi big brother

#

Then again I love my A4

pure vine
#

And more expensive cars are harder to repair

strange vapor
#

@clever mortar My old boss replaced an A4 with a Superb. The Superb was the superior car. Only issue was that it was WAY too low to the ground for Irish Roads.

pure vine
#

For the same reason apple stuff can be, its almost like apple used the car indistry as a base to control their hardware

strange vapor
#

These days, they sell them here with raised suspension and extra protection under the body as standard.

clever mortar
#

Yeah, I've no idea what I'll end up with when this dies - we got it mostly because when the last car died, it was available, reasonably priced (second hand) and had the key things we wanted

#

We tend to run them until they're beyond repair, so 10+ years

pure vine
#

On the topic of cars, Eletric cars seem to be better at reversing

strange vapor
pure vine
#

they just seem to need less effort to reverse up a slightly sloped drive

strange vapor
#

That's just down to pure torque available in the motors. Most auto and manual boxes skimp on reverse.

clear ferry
#

Skoda superb is probably the best VAG station wagon ever, excluding a RS6 ๐Ÿ˜›

strange vapor
#

Test drove a Hybrid XC90 before getting the XC60 even though it was far out of my price point.

pure vine
#

also how reversing is acheived is a bit of a complex set of gears that cant push the same torque

strange vapor
#

REALLY odd. When in electric, it's RWD, but the engine powers the front wheels. So you could go from RWD to FWD to 4WD while driving down the road.

pure vine
#

Something im finding odd, Renault seem to want you to pay them monthly to "hire" the battery

#

But they seem to do it so they can have the battery back and recycled and you get a fresher battery in their cars

clear ferry
#

I'm sceptical about the Volvo hybrids, that suddenly turn 4wd when they need extra power, like the Mercedes 4matic of old, if one wheel was outside of the road on gravel it would engage 4wd, at 150kmph

#

Most people I know who had it pulled the fuse for 4matic

strange vapor
#

@clear ferry That probably didn't end well?

@clear ferry I know people who have the hybrid XC90 and love them, but it's takes a while to get used to.

Like when it was icy my dad drove the car in some icy conditions and he didnt have any issues

clear ferry
#

I think on the XC90 hybrid you lost atleast 200 liters in the boot right?

#

Because of battery pack

strange vapor
#

@clear ferry Yup, my Diesel XC60 has almost as much boot space.

#

My family might need to sell our Diesel car as our council is implementing a polition zone stupidly meaning we cant drive it accross the city

Most of my serious driving is motorway mainly on the weekends.. I commute to work as I really don't like Dublin traffic and the office is right in the city center.

Kinda want to push them to get an electric as we mainly use our car for short commutes and the furthest we go is well within the range of most electric cars

late gate
#

just wait in a couple of years electric cars are just as expensive as others

strange vapor
#

Ireland is a small country, but outside of the Dublin commuter belt, charging points are, em, less common. Looked at electric, but would even up with fun range anxiety if driving down to the parents etc.

#

Saying that, Tesla had started putting up a few super charger stations

pure vine
#

Annother advantage of eletric is your home can be a "petrol station" for the car

clear ferry
#

There is even a stretch of Norway that has signs that day "next petrol station in 120km, so chargers are even scarser

strange vapor
#

Yup, if at home. If in the middle of no where with grass growing in the middle of the road, you might be able to find some diesel, might be awkward finding a decent charger ๐Ÿ˜„
