I had like 10 Bigfoot drives at some point

#

They were very reliable

lethal ice
#

@scenic radish I was all in on minidisc for quite a few years

scenic radish
#

Good times

lethal ice
#

There was a HiFi equipment chain called Tweeter, and they had the most permissive extended warranty policy of any store I've ever visited. Within 2 years, for any reason, you could bring it back and replace it with the same or equivalent available level model, AND they let you re-up the extended warranty for another 2 years for $50

#

I used to master minidisk for a friend in the late 90s, he had a SCSI to minidisk interface I think it was, but I had a much faster computer

lethal ice
#

Every 2 years I brought mine back "because it wasn't working anymore" and they basically gave me that new year's top of the line model for $50

#

It was a fantastic scam while it lasted. Can't imagine why they went out of business.

just notice when i turn on my phone gps hassio app get discounted and cant not connect back on..

#

anyone came across this issue before

clear ferry
#

I only turn off my GPS three times per year, so I wouldn't know

spare canopy
#

... this is crazy as soon as i turn off my GPS it logged back to my account

#

haha now i reinstalled the app.. i cant get connected at all with or w/o gps on

Hey, there are a lot of great add-ons out there but I'm a home assistant user not a hass.io user. Is there anyway to install add-ons like the dropbox backup or home panel?

water softener saga continues

it reconnected to wifi and dumped a ton of extra data over the serial port

Got my security system to auto arm itself when no one is home if (when) we forget to arm it

With no phones :p

#

ah that sucks cgarwood, did the serial not work out?

amber bramble
#

@wild grove I’m getting most of the info over serial OK. Just digging deeper to see if I can find a way to control it

fathom crow
#

@brisk glen what are you using to detect that you aren't home?

amber bramble
#

Only thing I’d like to have that I don’t see in the current serial output is gallons of water used for the day

#

Which does show up on their cloud site

brisk glen
#

@fathom crow ecobee smart sensors

#

They are basically occupancy sensors with temperature

#

Using them to trigger abode

fathom crow
#

@brisk glen So a glorified motion sensor? (ah with temp)

brisk glen
#

It also ignores animals

fathom crow
#

Now that's interesting.

wild grove
#

Odd. Should be there somewhere. I wonder if it runs its own broker you can subscribe to like a power company bridge.

fathom crow
#

I'm still trying to come up with a good presence detection scheme. Right now I have phones connecting to wifi and HA app on phone doing basic GPS. But I want real room presence detection. Looked at room-assistant but can't figure out what I'd wear or have with me all the time that is going to keep a static BT mac address. Even my phone automatically randomizes it and shuts off beacon apps to save the battery.

brisk glen
#

I gave up and shoved a bunch of ecobee smart sensors

#

They don’t stop detection as fast as I would like but it’s good enough

fathom crow
#

I'd love to know WHO is home though. Maybe even do it securely enough I can use it for locks.

brisk glen
#

Cameras with tensorflow and face detection

#

Lots of cameras

fathom crow
#

Hmm, not a bad idea. I've got a crap ton of esp32-cams sitting around.

#

Bought 8 on aliexpress when I saw them for $6.

brisk glen
#

I have a unifi setup

fathom crow
#

If I could feed them all to my server and then run tensorflow...

brisk glen
#

Do it

#

I have to spend $80 to $200 per camera

fathom crow
#

OUCH

#

Yeah, I'm much too cheap/poor for that.

brisk glen
#

Quality is fantastic

#

Setup is super nice

fathom crow
#

I got these originally to monitor my classroom supplies and cut down on theft.

#

I'm sure. These things are crap resolution but good enough for 5-10ft face recognition.

brisk glen
#

I love how I can scrub through the day on the feed

#

Can’t do that with other systems

lethal ice
#

Yeah, UniFi Protect is definitely the closest experience to what you'd expect from a hosted solution like Nest

#

I'm curious about their new doorbell cam.

last dirge
#

@lethal ice bro, didn't you learn your lesson from Wink?

scenic radish
#

i hear Bofa is adding a local API

lethal ice
#

I'm not sure what the connection is.

#

That's the whole point, isn't it? Self-hosting things.

#

In case it was unclear, the statement was that UniFi Protect, as an owned/fully local service that is not reliant on the cloud, has a lot of the bells and whistles and UX that you'd expect from a cloud service like Nest

#

Like @brisk glen pointed out, having a timeline you can scrub through with events and activity zones is not generally a thing you get with cheap IP cams

last dirge
#

or cheap cameras in general

brisk glen
#

Unifi protect is all local but uses their servers to negotiate the connection at first for their mobile apps

#

Why they call it the hybrid cloud

lethal ice
#

Yep. It isn't a brick without that, though.

#

Which is the key :)

brisk glen
#

Indeed

last dirge
#

I'm running some 3 megapickle PoE cameras and a cheap NVR

brisk glen
#

I can access it locally via the IP address

lethal ice
#

You could also avoid using the hybrid cloud entirely if you preferred to VPN from mobile

#

Or exposed ports

brisk glen
#

@lethal ice the mobile app does not support local only yet

#

But you can view via the web browser

last dirge
lethal ice
#

Ahh. I've only used the web interface to a friend's install. Haven't jumped in yet myself but am big on ubnt in general

last dirge
#

that's formerly the hassio channel, stuff got renamed

left granite
#

Sounds good, sorry

last dirge
#

no problem

#

you'll likely get an answer there

lethal ice
#

But strongly considering replacing all this Nest stuff at some point in the not too distant future

last dirge
#

probably not here

brisk glen
#

Unifi protect is a thousand times faster than HomeKit secure video

#

I can scrub through the videos over cellular

last dirge
#

I think if I were to replace my cameras I'd ditch the NVR and get some licenses to Surveillance Station

lethal ice
#

Synology?

last dirge
#

yep

brisk glen
#

I would stay with unifi protect

last dirge
#

you get one for free

#

it's got really good features

lethal ice
#

Yeah I have a diskstation too

last dirge
#

and better than setting up a windows box to run BlueIris

lethal ice
#

Surveillance Station doesn't compare though imo UX-wise to Protect

#

But it's certainly not a bad option

brisk glen
#

I can enable rstp streams later or do anonymous snapshots and add in Object Recognization

scenic radish
#

Megapickle lol

brisk glen
#

Use pushover or something if I really wanted face detection

last dirge

@scenic radish gotta get those megapickles

That IDS/IPS is super nice to have

lethal ice
#

Yeah. I need to upgrade to the udmpro at some point

#

Still running my us-48-poe off a usg3

last dirge
#

why the hell do you have a 48 port switch?

lethal ice
#

Because overkill is the best kill!

#

(and because I got it for free from the unifi beta program)

#

But I'm using 20 of the 48 ports and haven't finished running cat6 drops in the house so I'll get there!

brisk glen
#

Nothing like finding out that Cisco Webex meetings like to try to talk to a Hong Kong dns????? Server

But IDS will be nice :)

@last dirge i use cloudflare dns

#

Faster than google for me

#

Plus not being datamined by alphabet

scenic radish
#

Yeah I'm also using cloudflare DNS

forest edge
#

I don't think alphabet has as much influence over google as some believe. I think it's more like john oliver and AT&T. sure AT&T cuts his paycheck but it dosen't stop him from calling them names lol

hushed basalt
#

I don't think so?

#

Alphabet is what we've always known as Google, they just changed their name to Alphabet and put their search engine as a subsidiary

scenic radish
#

Yeah I thought essentially alphabet == google

#

For all intensive purposes intents and purposes

forest edge
#

Alphabet is Google's parent company

#

either way it's not like Alphabet makes all the decisions. that was apparent during the Google Fiber drive

scenic radish
#

Foogle Giber

wet pilot
#

Google is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alphabet

#

I think that umbrella covers a few other companies as well

#

Alphabet can dictate whatever they choose to, but they don't always micromanage

#

Isn't the CEO of both companies the same guy right now though?

#

hi all - are "groups" still a thing in HA or being phased out?

wet pilot
#

Groups are still a thing and are not going anywhere

proven pasture
#

that's a strong answer, thanks - not sure where i got that from, they seem pretty fundamental to me. No GUI option to config them though?

#

areas, scenes yes, groups - no, but maybe I'm missing it - just have to be configurated in yaml?

light hawk
#

It does seem strange that groups don't have a GUI!
Feels like they have been abandoned slightly.
Also - it's very annoying that a group button in Lovelace does not change the icon colour when on / off!

clear ferry
#

GUI 🀒

clever mortar
#

There's no group button in Lovelace πŸ˜‰

#

Groups used to have a UI, but groups in the pre-Lovelace days had performance issues, so the UI editor was removed

proven pasture
#

GUI/ web interface/ lovelace

#

It's graphical and it's a user interface.

light hawk
#

By group button, I mean a button card with a group as the entity.

proven pasture
#

all good though, thanks for the confirmation

#

I'll get back to tweaking my zigbee stuff and many other projects

clever mortar
#

I suspect now that the UI no longer uses groups an editor may return, but even some of the devs are confused about their purpose πŸ˜„

light trout
#

Hmmm.. groups are for grouping entities

#

What's confusing about that?

clever mortar
#

Apparently they've been replaced by light.group and the UI editor 🀷

light hawk
#

Should we be using areas instead of groups then?? Confused how I would group a bunch of devices otherwise!

clever mortar
#

You can use them all

light trout
#

That's does not make any sense, groups are for all entities, not just lights 🀷

clever mortar
#

Areas are good for things like rooms, groups for any collection of related things

wet pilot
#

Groups just don't do a whole lot at the moment

#

But they have a use

clever mortar
#

Groups... do quite a bit πŸ™‚

wet pilot
#

Mainly in automation

clever mortar
#

Yup, automations, automations, automations

light trout
#

HA is mainly automations (atleast IMO)

clever mortar
#

Yup, if you want a smart home there's easier ways of achieving that (at least until yet another cloud service implodes)

hushed basalt
#

I don't think my wife ever uses the front-end

#

She just yells at me if things don't work

#

We use voice commands a lot though

#

And I think dedicated hardware buttons are a must for a lot of things

proven pasture
#

i dumped automations.

#

zero automations now - all node red - love it.

#

but yes, just another way to automate things, i find it much easier to manage though but maybe not as user friendly - but automations in HA were becoming unmanageable

clever mortar
#

That's still automations, just not automation πŸ˜›

proven pasture
#

@clever mortar yes, i get you πŸ™‚

#

agree

clever mortar
#

For me, home automation wins over smart home 100%

proven pasture
#

i think that's right, i want to do much more

#

things "just happen", so cool

#

i think i need to do more of the simple things.

#

e.g. open a cupboard door and an interior light goes on

#

and off when it's closed..

#

like a fridge - haha

hushed basalt
#

Being able to control AC remotely, even manually, has been a godsend

clever mortar
#

Yeah, our garden lights turn on and off automatically based on the back doors opening and closing. That took a while to get right, but it's awesome

light hawk
#

As other I have almost everything automated in some way or another. I have everything in node-red now, but my god, some of them get complicated!
E.g. kitchen lights - come on with sensor, but only at certain lux. But must also disable the sensor if I use the light switch (then enable sensor after period), and then of course set a scene when we have a kitchen disco! πŸ˜œπŸ˜†

worldly haven
#

morning. ok REALLY stupid question. I've read the docs and it's not 100% clear to me if HA acts simply as an orchestrator for control using product clouds, or whether it actually replaces those clouds. Example - I have LIFX bulbs which I see have an integration. If installed and configured, do my bulbs no longer require connections to the LIFX cloud? My goal is twofold - 1. keep my data here 2. not to be left with paperweights if LIFX go bust. Thx

clever mortar
#

It varies

#

If it says Local then it's local, if it says Cloud then it's cloud...

worldly haven
#

Yeah - I read that thanks - I had interpreted the "cloud" flavour as "allowing" access to cloud scenes - could have been HA reading the cloud config and replicating... However - you've given me enough confidence (quickly!) to convince me to invest the effort in a poc. Much appreciated!

#

For idiots like me, an architectural overview picture may help πŸ™‚

clever mortar
#

If there was one...

#

Each integration is different, and the dev may not even be sure if they'll work when they lose their related cloud service

So my rpi3 just went down after attempting updating from 0.108.8 to 0.109.6, interface felt kinda slow too, knew it was in trouble when Portainer kept loading after hitting the update button. So, I want to get a NUC asap which should, hopefully, be a bit more reliable. Can't decide if I should go for the 6th gen i5 (used with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD for 275) or a new 7th gen pentium (quad core J5005, with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD should be around the same price in total). I'd probably run proxmox on it and experiment with things like radarr/sonarr..

clear ferry

The difference in performance is quite big tbh

"CCFL is een oude techniek met TL-balken links en rechts (en soms boven en onder) het beeld. Wordt tegenwoordig niet meer gebruikt; Edge-lit is vergelijkbaar met CCFL, maar dan met gebruik van LED-verlichting. De voordelen zijn dat het niet alleen zuiniger en kleiner is, maar ook (deels) dimbaar; Direct-led zijn leds direct achter het scherm geplaatst. Vaak gaat het om meerdere leds (honderden in de beste tv's) die elk individueel kunnen dimmen."

Anyone know if it's possible to use a USB audio source with Mopidy? I was gifted a turntable with a USB output and I'd like to be able to make it indirectly network connected even though I know I'd need to control playback on the turntable itself

hushed basalt
#

It's not really a mopidy feature

#

You really are looking for a seperate application to stream from a sound source to something mopidy can consume

Step one is to plug it into a debian based computer/rpi and see if you can get it to work there first

Ah good to know, thanks.

Then you need to take that pipe and put it into something like ffmpeg or snapcast or something

The error suggests it's not listening on the network interface or port you're trying to connect to. I don't see the medium post mention anything about configuring it, nor do I see anything in the other post that mentions configuring PulseAudio

About the 44/48 I found an article on it and apparently 60k would have been the best of all worlds:
"Many in the U.S. television industry liked 60 kHz as a standard sample rate because it was free of leap frames and split frequencies, and it synchronized readily with all timing signals used in 60 Hz and 50 Hz television systems, 24 Hz film and the 13.5 MHz component digital video sample rate. The professional audio industry, however, considered it wastefully high, and there was a quantity of 48 kHz software extant in Europe. "

Frame interpolation. Uses magic to make 24fps content look like it was filmed in 120fps

It has it's uses but only because we no longer use the superior CRT and Plasma displays that never needed it.

I have a few options - sports mode and non-sports mode...etc. the sports mode has higher frame rate, and others lower. Other than that, I got no more options. Just color and sound settings.

I'd say it's a good deal

It's not going to be lightning fast, but way better than that Pi

Yeah I figured it wouldn't be screaming but definitely just looking for a bump up in power. I'd really just like an "actual" machine

Emmc is reliable enough for decent storage too, my Chromebook has it

Doing it. Not looking forward to setting everything up again but oh well

It takes an SSD

Migrating isn't that bad ... mostly

scenic radish

I don't have too much stuff running, plus I can copy over config files

Wouldn't need a SSD to begin atleast

Since it has 64 GB

I'm using an SSD with my pi so I'll probably transfer that over

But yeah I could try it out without it first I suppose

Hi I just started with hone assistant. I out hassio on a raspberry pi 3 that I had and I want to replace wink with HA. I’m looking to find a good z-wave dongle for my Schlage door locks and I need to figure out if the other wink accessories like the motion sensor and alarm can be moved over too. I’m interested in how to back up all the configurations and maybe using ansible with this.

clever mortar
#

Ansible and the "Hassio" image won't play well

#

My quick research earlier today says that most things should work, except for Lutron Clear Connect

scenic radish
#

I feel like I've graduated or something after buying the mini PC

wild gorge
#

Is there a maximum supported python version for HA? Is 3.7.7 ok?

clever mortar
#

That's fine

#

3.8 is fine too, though not all packages are available for it

wild gorge
#

Ok, then I'm running out of ideas for how to figure out why the install keeps failing...which is the best channel to ask in, I've tried scouring the web and understanding the errors. I'm sad now

velvet horizonBOT
#

Not sure which install you're using? If you have add-ons, or see references to either Hass.io or Supervisor, then you're using #330944238910963714. If you're running natively in Docker or in a venv then you have the #672217570283094017 install method

clever mortar
#

Sounds like you want to ask in #672217570283094017 since you're asking about Python versions, but ... 🀷

#

Which guide are you following?

#

If it's not one of the official ones expect to be given a 🀦 πŸ˜‰

wild gorge
#

I'm following the official one for installing on python3 on a separate user

wild gorge
#

but when I run pip3 install homeassistant it fails, so just curious where I should ask

clever mortar

@orchid rose you are in Finland, it will take a while before you get the shipment from USA. I will be glad to send you a couple of RPIs. Just DM me your address!

Oh, I said needy. I meant to say lazy... πŸ˜„ I'd probably pay more in taxes and tariffs than it costs to buy one from a store....

last plaza
#

You have to pay taxes when you get the shipment?

orchid rose
#

Yeah, VAT which is 24%

last plaza
#

Holy crap!!! We don’t have that in the USA. I remember long time ago I sent a really good wrist watch to my brother in UK. I spent about $800 on it and he had to pay like 350 GBP to get the item! What a waste of money! Never sent him anything after that!

#

He came over here and bought stuff like crazy.

orchid rose
#

Yep, it's quite a bit higher here than there. It should also include stuff you buy and bring yourself but the customs often turn a blind eye to that. For some stuff there are also tariffs when imported from outside the EU but for electronics it is 0%.

Just mark as gift and set value to $1

dull belfry

Heya

orchid rose
#

Ludeeus, they seem to scan those here and check if there's anything that looks valuable. Most of the stuff that I've ordered that had some value were caught up by the customs office and then it's your responsibility to send them the paperwork of how much it actually cost or what the actual value of the item is. Bicycle frame from China and a DSLR from the US were among those.

It's the same here mostly. Seven cases in 14 days last I checked

I think we've had 1 or 2 new cases in 14 days

I'll never ever buy a Samsung smart TV ever again

#

There is no volume control for any external audio outputs other then the default speaker

Need fo do a chronological montage of scomo press releases vs state premiere press releases. See how differently he reacted to them

#

Wow that's annoying

#

I think mine is the same though?

dull belfry
#

Shouldn't volume control be a basic thing? Like my android can change volume for Bluetooth deviced and such

hushed basalt
#

I'm pretty sure that's typucal

orchid rose
#

With commercial options you'll always be somewhat limited on what you can do Tuxabyte. I wouldn't blame it just on Samsung, although I've done so myself with some other manufacturers...

dull belfry
#

Do you happen to know how I could fix volume control?

hushed basalt
#

I haven't tried bluetooth on my Logitech.

What is the bluetooth device

dull belfry
#

I got a media server with dac on rpi connected to active speakers

orchid rose
#

I have no samsung devices or a TV at all. Some here probably do though

tough igloo
#

I use a broadlink to control the volume on the soundbar

hushed basalt

My tv has an IR blaster in it to control devices

I don't want to buy a separate device for basic volume control

You may have to

hushed basalt
#

Your raspberry pi is your speakers?

Yes

#

Yamaha speakers attached to pi trough a dac hifiberry

Pretty solid setup it's running moode

#

Or is it possible to change media output on a Chromecast device?

hushed basalt
#

Can't you plug your tv directly into an amp

dull belfry
#

I might, but I have it already plugged into my rpi

hushed basalt
#

Does it have multiple inputs

dull belfry
#

Nope only analogue

hushed basalt
#

Wouldn't Bluetooth to raspberry pi to DAC be delayed as hell

dull belfry
#

Not that much

#

But to achieve what I want, what do I need?

hushed basalt
#

Anyways if you're willing to look at an AVR amp that has all the features to do something like that

dull belfry
#

Hmmm I just thought of something

#

The dac on my pi can control volume with alsamixer

#

I could ssh and change volume?

hushed basalt
#

Yes you could.

dull belfry
#

Sound control trough alsa fixed it for now :)

#

I have a nice Snapcast setup where one of the Pi Zero doing the work was doing BT to a JV Hifi. Latency was silly on the BT compared to the normal DACs (HifiBerry DAC+ Zero).

#

The thing is, depending on what you want to do, that can be quite acceptable! Snapcast can compensate for such latency.
