Wasnt sure where to ask but I have a home assistant at home and wanted to unleash my automania on my parents place. I would rather administer automation logic and account linking through my place's machine. Should I like vpn those devices through a shared subnet back to me using a machine there? Or is there a another way to use their machine to run both locations but have it benefit from person and shared account based support they'd only have at my place like dialogflows?

hushed basalt

@vital moth get the to sign up with nabu casa and you do admin remote easily

vital moth
#

Nah, my home is connected to google through keys and a domain name. But my parents… .

ashen kayak
#

so you are forwarding ports to your HA?

vital moth
#

Yes, at my place, 443 to 8123

ashen kayak
#

i don't think a VPN is your best shot, latency and reliance on VPN may give poor results. Is buying a pi for them out of the question?

vital moth
#

That IS their machine, a pi 3 w/ hassio os.

#

mine at home is a 4

ashen kayak
#

Gotcha, was a little confused. So you are looking for a master/slave config for the HA's?

vital moth
#

yes sir :D

ashen kayak
#

check this out

vital moth
#

But you know, master at a domain, slave at variable ip

#

different locations, different ips

ashen kayak
#

but sounds like you have the right idea for an IPSEC vpn

#

same "logical" network

#

so long as you on the same broadcast network, sounds viable

vital moth
#

Server at home strictly for their machine?

#

Or can I flip it and expose local ip addresses to my home machine?

ashen kayak
#

Network layout, are you having a pi at their house and one at yours? Connect the two via a VPN to create a similar network? If that is the case, then it will be like they are on the same network

#

bigger questions is can both gateways support this type of connection

gusty birch
#

Anyone out there managed to get the Network UPS Tools add-on to work with an APC RS1500?

hushed basalt
#

Always test your ESD equipment

vital moth
#

I guess I'll have to have it watch a mqtt server at my house with it actively reporting its IP address to my home's instance like a ddclient but to keep them in contact and limited to just one domain, because they will control their place from my website.

I'm not sure if our hospitals even have wifi, I never thought of it when I have been there, @clear ferry you know?

All wifi sip phones as well @clear ferry ?

#

Its funny/sad our new children's hospital has computer terminals in every room,

#

But none of them have ever been used

clear ferry
#

They use seperate dect phones and GSM phones to have redundancy mostly

#

Each hospital bed is equipped with a monitor you can pull in, that you can use to watch TV, play video games, doctors can pull up x-rays etc, and heart rate monitoring and more uses WiFi too

Yeah they just use paper here still

Good afternoon all. I'm moving my Home Assistant installation to a new host tomorrow. I can find community forum posts about it, but no official guide. Any guidance on how to best do this?

velvet horizonBOT
#

Not sure which install you're using? If you have system_health enabled you can check Configuration -> Info, or see the following.

  • If you're using HassOS, flashed an image, or booted a VM with an image you're using #330990055533576204

  • If you installed Linux and then ran a script to install HA and have add-ons then you have #330944238910963714

  • If you're running docker commands or use a Docker manager and have no add-ons then you have #449717345808547842

  • Finally, if you use pip to install or upgrade you have #551864459891703809

Having difficulty chosing an install method? See this blog post for guidance.

Hi, does anyone know of a a smaller discord server with a home assistant support channel?.. preferable german.

I'm not aware of any, but I guess you've searched here and the forum for any mention?

#

About other discord servers? No, what would i search for?

Not that smaller is likely to help with much... this place works because there's a lot of experienced people 😉

limber mountain
#

Ok, yet I don't get an answer every time I ask here. I see many people ask here and you guys are busy, thats why I thought I'd be better off in a smaller discord server

clever mortar
#

Well, not getting an answer means:

  1. You're asking in the wrong channel
  2. You're not asking an actual question
  3. You're not providing any information
  4. Nobody has an answer
#

We see a lot of can anybody help "questions", which will largely go ignored

#

Or if you're asking about some obscure thing, maybe nobody knows

#

Oh, and
5) The answer scrolled off before anybody who could help arrived

#

Ok... i asked in #integrations-archived which should be the right channel and the questions weren't that obscure..I think

clever mortar
#

Not sure where to ask, but quick question.

I’m just now getting into home automation and have just purchased everything to setup HomeAssistant on a Pi. For things that are sold with their own hub, do I need that hub or does the Pi replace it?

For example: I’m thinking of buying some IKEA bulbs...do I need their hub? Does home assistant control their hub, or replace it? I’ve been doing a little research but it seems like most people have other hubs anyway.

If this is the wrong channel, let me know where I ought to go with this question! Thanks!

Does anyone have any recommendations on a good brand of smart wall switches that can be flashed with tasmota?

I've been using the sonoff basics for outlets, but when looking into sonoff's line of smart wall switches I'm not a fan of the touch controls or how they need a special plate over the entire box.

I'd greatly prefer a brand of smart wall switch that uses a real button and only takes up one gang so if I wanted to I could have regular switches alongside smart switches in the same box.

Any suggestions?

One thing I am stuck on, I know I need at least a Pi (or VM but lets just say pi for now) and an antenna (for z-wave or zigbee). But how do I know what type of smart devices are compatible? I am shopping around for a smart door lock but I am not sure how I check whether that brand/model will work with home assistant, is there a list somewhere or ?

#

You can find more info in #zigbee-archived or #zwave-archived depending on what the lock uses. Otherwise there's an integration list on the home assistant website

So I looked at the home assistant integrations page and I looked specifically at locks https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/#lock and that is where I got very confused...because it doesn't show a list of models by brand or anything and when I click on one it's not very clear if it's just a general integration of all that company makes or what. My sole experience is a set of Kasa bulbs and plugs so I am very naive about this

@sygpolish No, you need to use 5v, using 1.8v is fine for the NRF52 chipset but its current draw exceeds rated maximum of datasheet. What your doing won't work. Honestly I would give up, as much as its a cool idea your clearly not there yet in knowledge. Using LORA is not the right use case for the weather module. If I was you, I would give up. A better use of your time is watching adult content or owning a dog.

Some addl context: Throughout Alabama, it’s illegal for a person to walk down the street with an ice cream cone in their back pocket.

It just passed data to HA: Sound, lux, motion, humidity, temperature, rain sensor and a ground moisture sensor.

it had not function at all. Goal was to hook up a lot to a single chip, learn ESPHome and pass it all to Home Assistant.

Good morning guys.

☕ Good morning indeed

I've decided im going down the home automation route. Been wanting to do it for years. Looking at the Sonoff Basic devices. Do they always come with a DIY jumper?

#

Dont really want to be flashing firmware on my first attempt 😂

junior forge
#

Honestly, while it sounds scary at first

#

you really want to go the flashing route

#

Like, either a steep hill to get started, smooth sail after that

#

or keep climbing a steep hill continuously

vernal rose
#

Ah ok. Ill take a look online for a video

#

I take it when you flash it you dont need to connect your phone after? You can set it all up while you flash?

junior forge
#

After it you can just browse to it and set it up via browser

#

Also, if you are completely new to home automation and hardware stuff

#

it might be an good idea to consider alternatives

#

e.g., Zigbee based stuff with a Zigbee stick

#

as it removes the need to flash, is all local and besides, Zigbee is versatile (e.g., hook up Hue bulbs, motion sensors, window/door sensors, there is really a freaking lot available on zigbee)

#

Z-Wave is a comparable path as an alternative to Zigbee, but generally more expensive

#

Zwave is also more regional

junior forge
#

Yes that as well

For example there's bugger all zwave in Australia

Hi fellow automators 👋 as usual its de simple things in life one needs help with 😸 is there any way to auto cycle trough tabs of a Lovelace dashboard (used to have a tab-switcher on chromium before)? together with "lovelace-swipe-navigation" this is would be the way better option than browser tabs? Am i missing the obvious? Hints much appreciated 🙇‍♂️

junior forge
#

@midnight adder I think the #frontend-archived channel might be a better place to ask that question

#

you are more likely to get an answer there

vernal rose
#

Anddd now im confused 😂

#

I thought Sonoff would be a great start

#

Cheap and cheerful to get to grips

junior forge
#

Well, @vernal rose, that is kinda good to be confused 😄

austere minnow
#

guess it depends what route you want to go

#

if you are interested in automations/frontend stuff and want devices just to work ==> Zigbee

junior forge
#

Well, a Sonoff CC USB stick for Zigbee sets you back around $4 on AliExpress. General parts/sensors for Zigbee are around $10-15.

#

I dont want to go stupid and make my door unlock when i get home. Just want the basics like blinds, pool filter and lamps

austere minnow
#

if you want to tinker along (like me 🙂 ) start with sonoff and other esp8266

#

hard to do custom stuff with zigbee

#

@vernal rose ==> Zigbee

#

😉

junior forge
#

Yeah I guess that is a good summary. If you look to get started easy and dip your toes, Zigbee is awesome.

#

If you want to tinker around and play with the electronics, ESP based stuff is great (like the sonoff basics).

austere minnow
#

By the way blinds: whats easier here depends on what do you have already. I got an electric system for blinds (controlled using mains) -> so ESP/Wifi devices like Shellys was an easy way

junior forge
#

And quite honestly, I think almost everybody in here runs a mix of DIY/ESP stuff (like sonoff) and Zigbee or Z-Wave.

austere minnow
#

if you do not have power next to your blinds or no blinds at all yet ==> zigbee devices are handy

hushed basalt
#

I have about half and half zigbee and tuya/esp

vernal rose
#

Anyone got a UK link for the flashing stuff i need?

junior forge
#

Right, @vernal rose Shelly is a good alternative for Sonoff as well. A little more expensive, but better quality and easier to flash, but also easier to use without flashing (as it supports MQTT protocol out of the box)

vernal rose
#

😐 I thought this would be easy to get started. I have just touched the tip of the iceberg 😂

#

I might just get the flashing kit. Start with Sonoff and hope for the best 😂

junior forge
#

LOL, don't worry just enjoy the ride

#

it will be frustrating, but highly addictive and fun in the end

austere minnow
#

my friend wanted to start with home assistant. So I bought him some xiaomi door sensors and stuff and a conbee stick. He was ready to go within 2hrs

#

No intention so offend Jewish people there

millions out there in the UK....

Cheers Dikt, What is the cable called again?

austere minnow
#

#

USB2Serial

#

or TTL

#

or whatever? @junior forge ?

vernal rose
#

I mean the pinned cable

#

To connect the 2 devices.

@vernal rose Could you please remove the message, as it might offend people. It is not allowed on this server to make such comments.

#

jumper wire?

vernal rose
#

Done 🙂

#

Sorry.

#

Thats the one Dikt.

junior forge
#

Thanks appreciated 👍

vernal rose
#

Got it thanks Dikt

junior forge
#

any USB FDTI adapter would do I guess @austere minnow

#

@vernal rose Be sure to check out youtube. There are many, many tutorials around on how to flash these things

vernal rose
#

On it 🙂

#

Think im going to start with the pool filter first.

#

What do you call the "plugins" for the HA? Looking to get a timer/scheduler for it

austere minnow
#

check Robs Youtube channel. He has a nice video about pools and home assistant

vernal rose
#

Got a link please?

austere minnow
vernal rose
#

Thanking you.

austere minnow
#

just for inspiration. He likes to code. You could do easier stuff with using tasmota or esphome "standard" binaries

vernal rose
#

I've seen a few of his video's

austere minnow
#

I thought the "$20" might catch your attention 😉

@hushed basalt If you have any drives dropout of ZFS blame it on the blue SATA -> MINI Sas cable those are so bad.

hushed basalt
#

Did you get them on amazon

rare condor

I have got them from ebay and amazon (sata from amazon) (sas from ebay)
