Hey guys, finally making my entry into home automation after years of putting it off :)
Just starting simple with a few Philips Hue bulbs and a raspberry pi but if all goes well and my budget allows I'll hopefully be adding devices in as I go.
Originally I'd planned on using the Hue Bridge and communicating with that over the local network and API however I've just stumbled onto Home Assistant and this looks much more flexible and fun. If I understand correctly Home Assistant on a pi or dedicated server is able to be a complete replacement for the Hue Bridge so I might end up re-selling the bridge to fund another device if all goes well

scenic aspen May 10, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

no, that is not the case

#

the hue bridge has an antenna for the specific frequency and communication protocol (zigbee) that is used to "talk" and "listen" to the hue bulbs

#

there are other "hubs" that can replace it that home assistant will communicate with

vestal condor May 10, 2020, 5:22 AM

#

I was just about to ask whether I would need a zigbee usb adapter to allow the server to replace the bridge? or is it still not equivalent

scenic aspen May 10, 2020, 5:23 AM

#

that can be equivalent (probably, I don't use zigbee)

Just installed home assistant in docker - and couldn't find the camrea inegration.... I know it exists from looking up the integration... but it's not in the list of integrations to add

#

that led me down the rabbit hole of docker vs image, hass.io vs... supervised, I guess?

#

Main question, am I losing anything by doing the docker route, or is it just more work? I assume I put a 'camera:' line in config.yaml to 'enable' the integration, but I also realize I don't get the add-on store this way?

the stuff I read about doing one vs the other didn't really give me a clear picture as to whether one is 'better' or 'more complete' than the other

I didn't wanna do it on a pi cuz I have a libvirt server to give it some horsepower

steel urchin May 10, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

i tried messing with libvirt/qemu, but disk allocation was too slow i gave up... trying to allocate 300gb took too long, after 5 hours i gave up... went back to virtual box and had my VM up and installing windows in about 5 minutes

also really hated the disk pool concept

I think the argument there is that Pi's just have a tendency to go kaput over time, or the sd-card itself... eventually it turns into a headache

flint pecan May 10, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

trying to put together a package i can sell relatively cheap to people wanting to break into automation. . . was just looking for the best setup

#

docker or vm is fine for me, but most would-be customers dont already have a pc thats always on

steel urchin May 10, 2020, 7:53 PM

#

i mean, it's all subjective, but best would be a NUC with NVME, 8gb RAM would suffice...

#

but you're going to pay heavily for that footprint and power combo

#

i personally went with an optiplex sff and slapped 32gb and a few SSDs in it

#

but if you're looking for clientele i'd probably try to find a nice small form factor like the NUC...

flint pecan May 10, 2020, 8:12 PM

I like that it takes an SSD/HDD

#

Not expecting blazing performance but wanted a step up from the pi

forest edge May 10, 2020, 8:12 PM

if the rpi had a emmc slot it would be hands down the best "fitting" devvice for HA

@steel urchin I already have the libvirt host set up, I run other stuff on it

forest edge May 10, 2020, 8:13 PM

well that depends on what "addons" extras you use with it

#

for HA by itself it's more than enough

reef abyss May 10, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

although I tried downloading the qcow2 image and importing it but I got 'no bootable drive'. so I dunno what was going on there

#

I'l just stick with my docker setup for now

steel urchin May 10, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

the host and pools were simple to set up @reef abyss ... my complaint was the performance was abysmal

#

at 5ish hours it still had 10 more to go

reef abyss May 10, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

.... to do what?

steel urchin May 10, 2020, 8:16 PM

so i created a vbox vm and allocated the full 300gb disk and was installing windows within 5 minutes

i tried qcow2 and raw.... i'd rather eat a bowl of glass than to wait that long

it imported right away for me, but it didn't work, so I dunno if I did it wrong or what

steel urchin May 10, 2020, 8:20 PM

Then an IBM PS\1

vast lily May 11, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

my tandy 1000RL was a POS and it made me better at tech because as a little kid while friends had good pc that played latest games i had shit one that couldnt because it didnt support EGA (which was needed at the time) and it had 512kb of ram while everything needed 640K so i couldnt run games and instead tinkered trying to get them working. sometimes i wonder if i would be as profecient as i am today if my pc could justp lay those games lmao

#

if the games just worked maybe i would have just rotted my mind playing them like my friends, those friends were never good with computers

#

it was funny too because i saved like birthday and chrisrmas to spend hundreds on a 256KB RAM upgrade chip to finally have 640KB and then all the games needed 1MB of ram lol

#

and VGA

#

i think maybe i got a EGA card i dont remember

#

no nevermind that 1000RL didnt have the ability to add graphics card

#

actually i guess integrated graphics has been around longer than i thought

From my understanding with pretty much everything cloud, managed services are great when you're small to medium scale

#

and large to behemoth scale is where it can be worthwhile doing it yourself

#

or evaluating it at least

Guys, I'm gonna build the house in the next year or two, I want to include as much as I can in terms of electrical installation and planned appliances to support HA. This is one and only chance to prepare the house for future automation projects. I'm new to all this though I'm an IT Engineer so I think I won't have much trouble with understanding this rabbit hole. Do you have any tips for places where I can start reading about good practices?

You could use illumination sensors in either the rooted tablet or externally to adjust brightness too

I have a speaker in the kitchen but having a screen would be nice too. Showing the timers (instead of asking) as well as recipes would be useful

and having the lovelace ui available would be an added bonus

hushed basalt May 11, 2020, 2:30 PM

Indeed

#

I'd consider an ordinary tablet on a wall mount too

#

One that you can take the tablet off easily

#

Not good for "music" though. But a better omni device

#

I don't know if you can watch netflix etc on those google things

#

I find it good to watch background TV during meal prep but i can tilt my tv to the kitchen

orchid rose May 11, 2020, 2:32 PM

Yeah the speaker I have in the kitchen right now doubles as a multiroom speaker (and can handle sauna heat too), so I'd want to replace that functionality as well. But the choices were a bit limited last I checked

Hi, I'm brand new to HA, i've been playing around with it for the last few days. I managed to get my philips hue lights to work, got all my KASA switches sorted. I also added my kodi and emby players by following the documentation online. Now i'm trying to setup my Netgear R6700v2 router. They advise the same procedure as for kodi/emby. But so far i have no luck adding the router. Any idea why it's not showing up? I added my login, pwd, host ip, port

that's a nice one had it some years ago.

#

Yes, don't see need to swap main network to Unifi AP

#

will just use lite for IOT networks I suppose

tidal bronze May 12, 2020, 6:09 AM

#

well depends on number of devices

rare condor May 12, 2020, 6:10 AM

#

Mainly ESP devices all within 10 meters

#

Cool decided based on your advice going to buy a Ubiquiti AC Lite and use it for IoT and Guest networks.

#

Keep my current AP for everything else

#

Use SSIDER to make sure different channels are used

#

should be solid solution?

clear ferry May 12, 2020, 6:16 AM

#

Range overlap should be kept at a minimum too

#

No wait, different ssid I guess

forest edge May 12, 2020, 6:17 AM

#

whats the point of splitting off iot stuff? unless your thinking hackers

Paranoia mostly

#

Or other mental stuff

forest edge May 12, 2020, 6:18 AM

Ping at jeedeyes

I think I'd look forward to going on a business trip

#

I haven't had a sleep in past 8 since like January 2019

clear ferry May 12, 2020, 6:32 AM

#

Not much difference for me really, I'm used to sleeping 5 hours at most every night

#

I've just rotated my clock a bit

#

I get up with the baby most mornings

#

I used to get up between 8 and 10 in the morning, now I get up at 5-7

hushed basalt May 12, 2020, 6:34 AM

#

Yeah I'm awake at 5.20 now every morning

#

Being out of bed is a different thing

#

But little one never makes it past 6am atm

#

Wife gets to sleep in though :/

I remember I had a ceiling fan in my apartment, people would come in just to see it, because, that shit ain't normal

clever mortar May 12, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

Ceiling fans are nice when it gets warm, and also quite handy in the winter

tidal bronze May 12, 2020, 6:45 AM

Nothing is normal there dude @clear ferry

Good quality fan in reverse on low rpm can be very nice in winter

#

As long as the ceiling height is good

tidal bronze May 12, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

Most are on reverse at my place

forest edge May 12, 2020, 6:46 AM

#

even have one on the enclosed deck

#

the fins are shaped like leafs lol

hushed basalt May 12, 2020, 6:46 AM

#

I'm short so I have no chance of hitting them but they can kill the openness of the room if it's not high enough

#

My FIL has a big one under his deck

#

Like a BAF but smaller
