Hey, looking to do some under cabinet LEDs as DIY project and have never worked with LeD strips before. Been doing research and I get power consumption stuff and getting correct transformer for given strip length. What I am struggling with is how to drive the white temperature controls, everything I read is about RGB strips and RGBW. Since tunable whites is 2 white LEDs is just 2 can I use a rgb controller and just use 2 channels or do I need specific diver to control the 2 white channels?

wild grove Aug 18, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

i wonder if you could roll them like dice. does it have an orientation sensor?

#

that'd be kinda fun

low harness Aug 18, 2020, 3:18 PM

Questions regarding booting HA with a RPI4 from a SSD, what channel should I ask in?

velvet horizonBOT Aug 18, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

@burnt plover 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.

If the problem is that your partner thinks you spend too much, the trick is to buy them nice things too.

#

Or time your purchases to coincide with a large purchase of their own.

Hi, has anyone had any joy with controlling home assistant via an android wear os watch? I'm trying to think of the best way to do it. Is there an app? A custom panel?

steel crag Aug 19, 2020, 2:29 AM

#

there's an app for Tizen which I run on my G3 Frontier

#

I dunno about wear OS

rigid oriole Aug 19, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

Actually I have a question about that!

#

With a tizen watch, controlling your smarthome, do you need to wake watch, go to app, press button do do something?

#

Or can you just to it with a single button push when the screen is off?

steel crag Aug 19, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

I typically use alexa from my watch but if not I use the app

rigid oriole Aug 19, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

Do you need to wake the watch to use either of those? This is basically the only thing thats held me back from buying a tizen watch

#

Really hard to find an answer without owning one

steel crag Aug 19, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

when I move my wrist the watch wakes

but I do have to press a button for alexa

not really a support/technical/HA query, more hoping for second ideas! so in my hallway, I have ceiling lights similar-ish to these.... https://www.diy.com/departments/tornado-blue-led-chrome-effect-6-lamp-spotlight-plate/109459_BQ.prd. I'd put in smart GU10s - until I realised that the blue accent LEDs remains on when power is on - so if I turn off the GU10s via software, the accent LEDs remains on. Any ideas, short of getting an electrician out & doing something - be it to replace the plate with something else or to disconnect the accent LEDs? I did briefly consider taping over the accent LEDs with opaque tape (e.g. duck tape) but that's ugly & the LEDs would still be drawing power... 🤔

@steel crag that is true - especially in the case of ceiling lights

deft pewter Aug 19, 2020, 4:38 PM

This is why you leave the light switch turned on so that when you isolate the mains, you can look at the bulb and see it's now off.

#

Bonus points if you leave the light in another room switched on as a backup.

Even when the light you're working on is disconnected, you'll know if the mains goes back on because another light illuminates.

Are you setting them to turn on/off or just setting the thermostat higher/lower

thick dragon Aug 21, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

Just a self.turn_off(entity).

hushed basalt Aug 21, 2020, 6:20 AM

#

I'd think about using higher/lower thermostats,

#

So you still have a minimum comfort level, but can crank it up when there's solar

#

Which will take/add some energy to your thermal mass in your home

#

Depends on the construction of your home though

#

My house is pretty leaky but it's all double brick and concrete bottom and top floor so there's considerable mass

thick dragon Aug 21, 2020, 6:21 AM

#

Yeah, I've lived for decades without air con, so I'm not likely gonna leave it on when it's not required 🙂

hushed basalt Aug 21, 2020, 6:21 AM

#

It really does lag the hot/cold by 2/3 days without climate

#

But I'd get it to run when you're not home if there's surplus energy

#

The more desirable state of energy you put your thermal mass into when the energy is free, the less energy you need to use when you get home and you need it

thick dragon Aug 21, 2020, 6:22 AM

#

Only until it reaches the target temp. At that point I'll shut it off (checking every 20 minutes to ensure it's still within 3 degrees of the target).

#

There's more value in selling more to the grid than maintaining a perfect temperature for me.

hushed basalt Aug 21, 2020, 6:23 AM

#

Your split should take care of all that itself,

#

It's not about maintaining the temp, it's about using your thermal mass as an energy battery

#

overcharging it when it's free to reclaim it when the energy costs you

thick dragon Aug 21, 2020, 6:24 AM

#

True. I'll see how the efficiency goes when it rolls into Spring a bit more and evaluate then. With the new changes however, I'll likely have to turn the AC off altogether from 4pm - 8pm 😦

@tidal bronze by this you are implying that my power supply would be in the crawlspace hooked to mains power, then the 16/2 or 18/2 run to my led strip lights and my controller sits at the front of my led strip. That is, I do not put my controller for the strips in the crawlspace by the power supply but instead keep it by the lights? (for data signal integrity I am guessing?)

I did that in my last house that had a basement.

protip, if you tie a bit of cloth at the end of a string and put a shop vac at the end of that conduit, it's pretty damn easy to get the string fished through rapidly

tidal bronze Aug 21, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

That's the best conduit to cut across.

#

@limber pine if you are planning to run audio, drop speaker wire and at least 2 x RG6 coax for subs 😆

#

@last dirge yep shop vac method is a life saver

limber pine Aug 21, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

@tidal bronze roger that. @last dirge very clever!

#

@limber pine https://www.homedepot.com/p/HYDROMAXX-2-in-Dia-x-100-ft-Orange-Flexible-Corrugated-Polyethylene-Non-Split-Tubing-and-Convoluted-Wire-Loom-OLNS200100/312195112 this type flex conduit is best when running cables later on. Very little friction unlike regular pvc. Makes pulls much easier.
@tidal bronze doesn't the corrugation cause MORE not less friction?

Can anyone reccomend a good plan to install a 20M Led strips, its for a living room all in a boxing, we currently have some cheap £20 ones but only really good for blue red green, so wanting to upgrade to cct, is 20m cct doable in one powersupply, having problem finding options, don't need and smart functions, remote control is fine

#

I'm finding this... anything similar on ali? - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5M-20M-IP65-Waterproof-5050-RGBW-RGBWW-LED-Strip-40Key-Remote-Touch-Remote/172816839318?hash=item283cafb296:g:OGUAAOSwEY9ZjgOT

#

room is square so can do 10m either direction

last dirge Aug 21, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

@limpid wind aliexpress isn't much cheaper, if at all, for LED stuff

limpid wind Aug 21, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

They can be for cheaper stuff but yeah I can sorta see that on the higher end stuff

#

From my brief research I will need to get a transformer to power 2 10 meter runs ?

compact cobalt Aug 21, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

does anyone else just like ... hate yaml

#

I can't say with confidence that JSON would be better but damn does it feel like it would

#

nothing more annoying then trying to make something a child of another and trying to make sure the indentations are right

#

I suppose different files gets around this a bit

static schooner Aug 21, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

you'll get used to it if you stick with it

#

using competent editors like VSCode helps

compact cobalt Aug 21, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

yeah I think that would help

#

and I do use it when I start to struggle with it

#

but like auto formatting in VSCode just like doesn't work (unless I'm doing something wrong), since it can't really infer what spaces each line should have

static schooner Aug 21, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

I particularly like the rainbow indentation levels that make it easier to ensure that things line up in long sequences

compact cobalt Aug 21, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

oh that's a good point i think that would help

#

I just like how JSON can be like minified, then you can pop it into VSCode and auto-format and it's back to normal

static schooner Aug 21, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

in my opinion, all of the extra quotes, curly braces, comma restrictions, etc. of JSON are a bigger pain in the neck

#

YAML supports comments and JSON doesn't

compact cobalt Aug 21, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

hmm I suppose I could see that

#

yeah that's definitely a big plus

#

although there is JSON with comments, I'm not really sure how it works (VSCode's JSON settings files allow comments iirc)

#

I think including files in YAML is probably nicer than it would be with JSON

riser cable, yaaaay

#

protip, if you tie a bit of cloth at the end of a string and put a shop vac at the end of that conduit, it's pretty damn easy to get the string fished through rapidly
@last dirge I've pulled MILES of cable this way

last dirge Aug 21, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

it's pretty crazy

#

the guys running fiber in my neighborhood used the same trick but with those giant tow-behind air compressors

#

you could hear the cloth smash into the little access boxes when it came blasting through the conduit

steel crag Aug 21, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

I literally ran every single cable in the new airport like that

#

and still took me almost a year

#

LOL

#

3 different phases tho

compact cobalt Aug 21, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

2 or 4 spaces for indents 🤔

static schooner Aug 21, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

2, always 2

compact cobalt Aug 21, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

ok thank the lord

#

it feels like the in-lovelace editor autocorrects some of the files to 4 and it feels weird

static schooner Aug 21, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

even VSCode is a little schizophrenic about it. I need to find the settings that are wrong

compact cobalt Aug 21, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

yeah VSCode defaults to 4 spaces for me

#

so what's up with the "Jedi" and "Padawan" tags

velvet horizonBOT Aug 21, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

The Jedi role (blue) is given to our community members who have proven themselves knowledgable and worthy of helping others. Please do not request to be assigned this role. It must be earned.

#

The Padawan role (purple) is given to our community members who have shown that they are willing to learn, have shown progress toward becoming a bigger part of our community (a.k.a. a Jedi), and try to lend a helping hand to others when they can. Please do not request to be assigned this role. It must be earned.

Anyone here with some understanding of (asus) network stuff? Having a very strange issue of not being able to connect new esp boards. Both tasmota & wled won't connect to my network. Tried on 2 different boards. They both seem to think they are connected but they don't show in connected devices on the router settings or in one of those network ip scanners.

#

tried a reboot of both my Router, AP combination + a seperate AP connected to that router

wild grove Aug 21, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

@tacit tapir I had issues w/ some tasmota stuff connectiong to my wireless (not asus) with wpa2. it would connect to a wide open ssid just fine

#

I just kept trying things such as specifying the open one as standby and eventually got it to work like i wanted.

tacit tapir Aug 21, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

Hmm, thx for the suggestion! I'll try an open network to see if that works. Meanwhile any other tips are welcome

steel crag Aug 21, 2020, 8:45 PM

the Sith on the other hand.... use apprentice or acolyte for the learners 😄

deft pewter Aug 21, 2020, 8:53 PM

I vote to make the default role 'Nerf Herder'

late gate Aug 21, 2020, 9:03 PM

I vote to make it sith lord as jedi sucks :p

deft pewter Aug 21, 2020, 9:10 PM

But no-one starts out as a Sith lord.

#

All the best ones started out as nerd herders, right?

#

(spoiler alert)

steel crag Aug 21, 2020, 9:11 PM

Nerf herders too as per above

forest edge Aug 22, 2020, 12:00 AM

pretty sure the jedi role should be renamed to "stubborn"

onyx mesa Aug 22, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

Whats the terminology for the highest level of integrations like "notify" and "light"?

#

They're not specific integrations, they're more like categories

#

I'm trying to start learning from the basics, but im having a hard time learning the configuration syntax (how you find lists of available types of integrations, sensor names etc)

#

And at that, finding the documentation that talks specifically about it

hushed basalt Aug 22, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

Domain

onyx mesa Aug 22, 2020, 7:27 AM

#

@hushed basalt this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

hushed basalt Aug 22, 2020, 7:28 AM

#

👌👍🦘

onyx mesa Aug 22, 2020, 7:29 AM

#

Agh, is Entity a special domain in that its an abstract object all other domains implement?

#

There doesn't appear to be a list of all of the available domains in a API like documentation style

hushed basalt Aug 22, 2020, 7:34 AM

#

Domains can be arbitrary registered I believe

#

Have you read the architecture docs

#

An entity is an individual .. entity. An instance of a device/sensor etc

velvet horizonBOT Aug 22, 2020, 7:49 AM

#

@onyx mesa https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/glossary/

onyx mesa Aug 22, 2020, 7:52 AM

#

I've read the glossary! The issue is that I see domains like "light" or "switch" and i want to see a comprehensive list of the default ones, or a more general examples of the syntax rules on how theyre used in the configuration.yaml

#

I have not read the architecture docs though, is that the one that notes it is for advance users? I may have skipped it thinking i needed to read others first

clever mortar Aug 22, 2020, 7:54 AM

#

Architecture is more for devs

#

The source is probably slightly better for working out the list of domains, though the integrations docs also tell you them

onyx mesa Aug 22, 2020, 7:56 AM

#

I'll take a look! At some point it may just be better to go ahead and start messing around in it. All my devices are in storage but HA should be able to do something teachable without them

clever mortar Aug 22, 2020, 7:57 AM

#

It absolutely can
