@tidal bronze i keep meaning to make an automated tuyaconverter

#

Ideally it would be a web server in a docker container with a mounted usb wifi dongle

#

Would listen out for tuyas in pairing mode, notify you, then you can select the esphome yaml that you want to use from your github, flash the device, build that binary and upload it

#

Then ideally add it into HA as well

#

Would also need a travel router or something setup to connect to your wifi AP, or similar.

#

Put device in pairing mode.
Open website, select yaml in drop down.
Hit submit

you gotta get access to it and inspect it, most of the time you won't see anything but once you start looking at everything attached and rule out all the simple things then the control board is all that's left

punching it and causing lights to go out is usually a sign of something loose

its states rated at 150amps, but i thought with short runs it can handle more than it states

forest edge Dec 29, 2019, 8:35 AM

#

the amps of the breaker is irrelevant, what your looking for is the draw of the inventer which is around 16-17amps thus the wire you need to connect the two needs to be be able to handle that which even 12awg can do just out of spec

#

so anything below say a 10awg would work technically

#

this is 240 so double leads

#

both the same size

midnight adder Dec 29, 2019, 8:36 AM

#

wire size to handle 16 amps at 230v is half the size of what is needed to handle 16 amps at 115v

lethal granite Dec 29, 2019, 8:36 AM

#

ok, just weird why they say you need really thick wire to connect to it

midnight adder Dec 29, 2019, 8:36 AM

that's why we use 230v - less copper required

well its 2 awg

forest edge Dec 29, 2019, 8:40 AM

now you can go too big and have negative effects as well but as short of run your doing it shouldn't be an issue

lethal granite Dec 29, 2019, 8:41 AM

#

how can i tell if its not big enough ?

#

would it start melting

#

or be very hot ?

forest edge Dec 29, 2019, 8:41 AM

#

it will get hot before it melts yes, and smoke

#

but your pushing 16-17amps which like i said even 12awg can handle out of spec

lethal granite Dec 29, 2019, 8:43 AM

#

i thought its W/V = A ?

#

so 2000/12volts = 166.6 amps ?

but, quality standards are different than units of measurement, which i think is the point they were making

forest edge Dec 29, 2019, 8:48 AM

the inverter likely dosen't actually output 166amps

I would go with a step higher guage wire to be safe

yeah its mainly for a fridge and tv

forest edge Dec 29, 2019, 8:49 AM

Hello 👋

I have a question. I was going to write my own app but I've been sent here. Ultimately I want to have voice authentication / role permissions based on voice input (voice recognition) and @
also by device (bluetooth). Is there the ability to authentication users? Kind of like Discords role system at a device level.

midnight adder Dec 29, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

@tulip sage you need artificial intelligence to do voice authentication and bluetooth tracking is such that you cannot make it reliable (bluetooth low energy devices like apple watch constantly randomise their mac addresses like once per minute or something)

#

everything is moving to bluetooth low energy (ble)

#

in order to track them, you need to know the "frequency hopping" key (for example the one that is shared between the iPhone and the Apple Watch).

#

that said, don't let me discourage you 🙂

#

I had bluetooth_le_tracker enabled and because of my wife's Apple Watch the known_devices.yaml file was 600 entries long after a few hours

tame gate Dec 29, 2019, 3:16 PM

#

it works with fitness trackers and beacon fobs though (like tile)

midnight adder Dec 29, 2019, 3:17 PM

#

depends on if they randomise or not (it is up to the implementor)

tame gate Dec 29, 2019, 3:18 PM

#

I think theres a way round that if the phone is paired to the reader - then it gives its real mac

#

but I don't know how to impliment that on an esp32

midnight adder Dec 29, 2019, 3:19 PM

#

when you pair the watch to the phone, the watch generates a hopping key and shares that key with the phone so the phone knows how to time-sequence the current mac address

#

and no, you cannot extract the key from the phone

tame gate Dec 29, 2019, 3:21 PM

#

thats maybe iwatch/iphone specific - it'd be more like storing pairings for a speaker or headphones; essentially the watch would decide to send its real mac to a client

#

or phone, if thats what you wanted to detect the presence of

midnight adder Dec 29, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

my jbl charge 3 speakers use ble and their mac don't change, but if you are tracking new ble devices then the ones that do mac hopping will fill your disk due to tons of entries in known_devices.yaml

midnight adder Dec 29, 2019, 3:24 PM

apple tvs also do the mac hopping - apple takes privacy pretty seriously

tame gate Dec 29, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

I understand but what I'm saying is if your apple device has been paired to a device then it sends its real mac. So if you could figure out how to bond your esp32 or whatever you're using it could work

midnight adder Dec 29, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

i turned on bluetooth_le_tracker and was eagerly excited to do all sorts of new presence automations - and then the reality hit me - it is not the same as bluetooth

#

they don't have a real mac

#

they share the key with the phone, where the key can be used to calculate the current mac at any point in time

#

ble standard allows you to either 1) use static mac, or 2) use constantly changing mac

"Everything I’ve described about Bluetooth Smart privacy so far has been in place since the first release of Bluetooth Smart in version 4.0 of the core specification. So, what changed in 4.2?

In general, those random, private MAC addresses change according to a timer that the manufacturer implements in their product’s firmware. As such, they know exactly how often the MAC address will change. But there’s one special situation designed to make it possible for devices that have previously connected with each other to reconnect really quickly, where that timer is not used."

@midnight adder but GoogleHome now supports voice verification? Like giving custom responses depending on the user invocating a command. Is this information not accessible via skills?

Interesting stuff around the bluetooth, i had an idea of implementing motorised bluetooth locks for cupboards based on bluetooth proximity of either watch or phone.. may be a bit more difficult than I thought. Thanks for heads up will have to do more research around this.

clever mortar Dec 29, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

Proximity is really hard with any RF that has range

tulip sage Dec 29, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

@clever mortar ahh thats a bummer. Would have thought the device id may have been exposed through the request..

clever mortar Dec 29, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

You can get the same signal strength at significantly different distances, due to reflections/interference/or just the signal being absorbed

tulip sage Dec 29, 2019, 3:52 PM

#

Are there other technologies that will better suit this or better to fob off the bluetooth aspect and just control it all by an app/ voice control?

Well, it really depends on your ultimate goals, but NFC is designed for "near"

tulip sage Dec 29, 2019, 3:53 PM

#

I seen rfid sensors as a thing already on locks but I want a seamless experience where I don't have to say pull out a card and hold it up to the cupboard

clever mortar Dec 29, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

If you can accept false unlocks, Bluetooth is fine

#

You may just need to spend a lot of time tuning the thresholds, and maybe building in logic with other sensors scattered around so you can locate the device with a moderate degree of accuracy

#

If you can accurately map that, and build logic to avoid "jumping" locations, it should work

tulip sage Dec 29, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

I'll have to get a pi and try it out a few things. I guess the ultimate goal is to prevent people wanting to unlock cupboards they shouldn't be in like kids accessing cleaning products.. so the proximity/ false unlock is probably not a big issue providing it doesn't jump across rooms.

smoky oxide Dec 29, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

nfc can be used to work over several meters, but then its neither small nor cheap ;). We use it at work to control the vehicle gates and it works very well

clever mortar Dec 29, 2019, 3:58 PM

#

It might be simpler to use a combination of basic presence detection (are you home) and voice control (okay Google, unlock the cleaning cupboard)

#

Doesn't matter if they can say the phrase if you're not home 😉

#

@Fredrick interesting, i thought nfc was pretty much point to point contact (like bus passes). Can nfc pass through surfaces like wooden doors?

#

@clever mortar maybe a good alternate solution, I'll have to rethink my idea. I'm a bit bummed about Google's ability to share device and user info with actions.

clever mortar Dec 29, 2019, 4:01 PM

#

You could always petition Google for a change 🤣

smoky oxide Dec 29, 2019, 4:01 PM

#

wood should work, it all boils down to how sensitive/powerful the reader is, and the size/energy of the coil

#

(is coil the correct name btw), dunno

clever mortar Dec 29, 2019, 4:01 PM

#

The traditional solution for this kind of thing involved a magnet and a "hidden" lock inside the cupboard

#

Getting NFC to work through a standard cupboard door should be quite do-able

#

Worst case you have to thin the door a bit at that spot 😉

#

Or, don't do it there, build the reader somewhere more convenient

tulip sage Dec 29, 2019, 4:02 PM

#

Yeah I've seen that, pretty much what I'm going for without the need to explicitly hold something up to the door.

clever mortar Dec 29, 2019, 4:02 PM

#

Place phone on kitchen counter at key location, cupboard unlocks

#

Key thing IMO is to focus on the goal, not the solution you've got in your head

tulip sage Dec 29, 2019, 4:04 PM

Yeah sure, that was just the original solution I thought out without knowing too much about restrictions.

Is there an appropriate place/channel for me to mention I've got some IoT devices I'm looking to part with?

Hi, does any one here have experience with Tuya products?

clever mortar Dec 29, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

If you search, you'll see that mentioned a fair bit

#

If you've a specific device type, please ask more detailed questions in the relevant channel 😉

honest reef Dec 29, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

Ah great, I did ask a while back but got no reply

clever mortar Dec 29, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

Lack of reply may mean nobody who saw it has an answer

#

The forum is usually better for that kind of question

PiVPN is so friggin cool

forest edge Dec 29, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

lol

#

I use to run that to gain access to my moms network

#

ran it off a rpi b lol

scenic radish Dec 29, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

Except my router is retarded and assigned the new pi a second IP address despite setting a static IP on the pi the same way I did on the other pi

#

"fixed" it by setting a DHCP reservation for the IP I set statically lol

forest edge Dec 29, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

lol

scenic radish Dec 29, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

All static IPs are outside the DHCP pool of course

brave panther Dec 29, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

sure it's not your RPi that's retarded?

#

Router ~~wouldn't~~ shouldn't send a DHCP response if RPi didn't request an address
