you can probably do that too
flat fossil
no you cant
the amazon api doesnt allow it
at least with one account. i gave up when it seemed i had to have like 5 different aws accounts
@rigid oriole idk where to even start. basically everything. clean the cat litter box, open the hvac damper, close it again, move the laundry to the dryer, unload the dishwasher, google calendar reminders, personal events. anything i can't automate my house tells me to do
rigid oriole
That sounds impressive! Where I struggle is in how to implement getting the home to do actual physical things (besides using switchbots), but it looks like you have that all figured out
flat fossil
just depends on what you want it to do
rigid oriole
Yeah - setting up automated home entertainment and PC control is about as far as I've been able to take it, but that stuff is pretty much all figured out
I'm not even sure how you'd go about unloading a dishwasher!
steel crag
I'd be happy with litter box automation
flat fossil
haha no no no it doesnt unload the dishwasher it just reminds me to do it
rigid oriole
Ohh! I was gonna say! That would be some major Jetsons action haha
Getting the dishwasher and washing machine to send alerts would be nice though
flat fossil
i just use a zigbee plug and trigger an input boolean to determine that a cycle has started based on energy usage then it lets me know when it finished and reminds me to unload it whenever i go near it. then a door sensor if it has been open long enough determines i have unloaded it and resets the boolean
rigid oriole
Whenever you go near it? Motion sensors or bluetooth tracking? Or something else?
flat fossil
my house is 3 floors. basement main floor and attic bedroom suite. i use zigbee dimmer switches to determine which floor im on. these enable various things but if i go to the main floor i use tts to tell me to unload the dishwasher
i used to use motion sensors but i found my cats to make those useless
steel crag
i used to use motion sensors but i found my cats to make those useless
@flat fossil yes I think my 4 cats would render motion useless as a tracker
flat fossil
yeah sometimes less smart is better for home automation. i only have 2 cats but they are fuckin wild
rigid oriole
That's a nice way of going about it, I never did figure out an ideal presence detection system so I focused on just making things easy to control wherever I am

at least for me it all depends on living alone

Hey everyone, I currently have a few smart devices that I manage using the Tuya smart life app and it's horrible. Before I get started with Home Assistant I want to understand if it's an alternative to smart life or if it's something else.

its an extremely versatile automation platform. it could be used as an alternative to your app, yes. or much more.
midnight adder
Okay awesome to hear. Can I run the "daemon" of it via a cloud server? Instead of a local one.
clever mortar
You could but I really wouldn't
midnight adder
Why's that?
clever mortar
It's designed to be local, and many integrations require it to be local (like with the Google/Nest home)

Also, why the heck would you make your home automation reliant on your ISP and that cloud host?

I just find cloud hosting more reliable then a server that I don't have.

Hello home assistant discord, long time lurker here! I was wondering if you guys could give me some pointers on where I can improve my home assistant content? I've posted on the home assistant subbreddit twice now: https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/iixq35/how_to_hack_your_tv_with_hdmicec_and_home/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/ihr1ct/streaming_projects_with_home_assistant/, both times the response has been quite negative. I was wondering if I'm doing anything that the home assistant community finds particularly offensive? I really love the home assistant project and I'm constantly raving about it to my friends (it's one of the reasons I started streaming, to show it to more people). Thanks a lot! π
velvet horizonBOT
clever mortar
The forum is a good place for long back and fore
You'll also find a different group of folks than reddit
knotty hemlock
ok, thanks! π
clever mortar
Here, talking about what you've doing would be an #general-archived topic, or for help see the relevant channel
At least write a short description what it is you want people to watch for 8+ minutes.
IMO was a very valid point though
Summarise what the video is about, what you'll be doing, and what integrations, etc, you're touching
A lot of the good videos I've seen have included all the details you need to duplicate it in the written part, so you've got an easy reference
knotty hemlock
Yeah, I'll be doing that from now on! Just didn't think it was that important initially. Still a bit confused as to why the difference between r/homeassistant and r/homeautomation is so drastic though
clever mortar
Different people, different expectations
Overall feedback r/homeautomation looks pretty balanced (not having watched the video)
With only two responses on r/homeassistant it's too early to tell π
knotty hemlock
I guess so! Yeah -- outside the discussion there were a whole lot of people showing some alternatives to look into, which is awesome! I'm all about that constant learning π I mean, it was posted almost a day ago, so I think that already says something as well. No matter what I'll defnitely include a description next time + maybe check out the forums and see if they have some more advice π
deft pewter
At least write a short description what it is you want people to watch for 8+ minutes.
Hell, I won't watch any video without a description. I saw your HDMI-CEC post when I was on Reddit earlier and kept scrolling right past.
I'll admit I'm not a massive fan over videos for guides anyway - there's no way to skim only the bits you want. But I know there are people that prefer to watch something π€·ββοΈ
Blog posts are way better for seeing what people have done with technical stuff.
knotty hemlock
Yeah, definitely see your point! I want to use streaming and these kind of highlights, mostly because I also want to reach people outside of the main tech sphere. A lot of my friends who've never of something like home assistant might not stumble across a technical write-up, but an engaging stream that explains as much as possible? That's not bad! But of course, perhaps that means that you guys who do know all about home assistant might not like it π
clever mortar
Undated videos, that don't mention what version of HA, also have a nasty habit of tripping folks up when they become outdated a month later
light trout
IMO that in itself is pretty bad, lets say you convince one person to use it, they get it started by folowing [insert random outdated youtube video here] since they could not folow the documentation.
Great! now it's set up, and they can access it.
what now?
They will have no clue on how to troubleshoot, the docs scare them, and many many many things still require YAML.
Do you think they will stick with it? or give up?
My money is on giving up
deft pewter
Teach a man to fish, and all that
clever mortar
Which matches a lot of the folks that turn up here, and then ragequit because they have to RTFM
light trout
The documentatio at least, we can controll/manage
deft pewter
You clearly have good intentions and it's great to see that you want to create content to help people. It's just not the best kind of content for the topic.
knotty hemlock
Well, that's why it's a stream! I go over those things. I'm constantly showing off the docs, how to use it, how to go through your config... I think you can teach people these things!
But thanks for all the feedback, people! I think I'm going to be sticking to the format because I have been getting a very positive response overall, maybe my content is more for a different audience than the home assistant community. But no matter what: I'll take your comments in mind! (especially to make sure that viewers will be able to fix things themselves ;))

I have docker containers dns,multicast,audio,supervisor,core etc... I cannot start these containers since about 20 hours because of the problem: '("OCI runtime create failed: systemctl "kernel.domainname" is not in a separate kernel namespace: unknown")'. Please if you can spend a few minutes to give me some helping hand I would be really grateful. Its a horror and im not professional enough to solve it by myself. I can give any information, screenshot or log what you need. Thank you very much.

Looking to buy some new hardware to run home assistant. What would you guys recommend as the most cost effective, but yet stable, option.
clever mortar
Well, that's a rabbit hole ...
Not a Pi running on an SD card is the basic starting point
Pi4 + SSD is a passable starting point
ODroid (or anything else with eMMC) is the basic step up from a Pi with an SD card
After that, the sky's the limit
Personally I use an old laptop, it has a built in UPS π
amber dirge
Keep seeing odroid mentioned. Looks interesting. Maybe repurposing that old laptop is good too. Iβm just tired of running things in a VM :!β)
clever mortar
I'm really happy to be running on the laptop - no issues with performance
amber dirge
Whatβs your OS?
clever mortar
Well, don't follow me, I'm not using #330990055533576204 or #330944238910963714 π

Oh, it's just stuff that needs some extra local packages that aren't in Docker
At some point I'll either learn enough Python to do a custom component, or likely just make it work over MQTT

Yeah
clever mortar
I'll just create a Docker container for the other piece of software I use, and have it communicate over MQTT
Building your own images are easy enough
clever mortar
I started building my own containers last year, turns out to be a lot easier than it looks
(and a lot harder at times, but that's IT for you)
brisk glen
I get super lazy and copy and paste in my bash history
change 1 or 2 lines and call it a day... dirty and wrong but it works
thats why I use others containers

hi All, I just lost my SD card so rebuilding my system and have an odd thing happening I keep getting a warning that something is trying to sign into my apple id and it gives me a code to authorise it - I think in the past I may have signed up a service for apple but cannot remember what or where any ideas what it could be that is trying to sign up?

Well, if it's HA related you'd be using an #integrations-archived or #add-ons-archived or maybe even the #ios_and_mac-archived app

this was supposed to be here the 18th
then the 19th
then the 20th
then the 21st, 3 packages from two different shelving systems (out of 6) were delivered
the 3 packages didn't build a shelf, it was two things from one shelf, one from the other
then on the 25th they finally delivered 2 more packages and completed one shelf
and now they've apparently scanned it onto a truck every day since the 24th and were like "lol, nah"
clever mortar
I was picking up a package once from a large global delivery company, chatting with the staff about how long it was taking them to find it and joking that I hoped they hadn't lost it.

was it free delivery? if so then you didn't technically pay for the service

You have experienced HDNL I can tell π

If you pay for goods and someone agrees they'll be delivered for no extra cost, you're still paying for those goods to be delivered.

Depending on where you are, downloading copyrighted material isn't a crime - uploading it is usually where you get into trouble.

I guess we're 'lucky' in the UK. It's only distribution that's a crime. Though that won't stop representatives of the copyright holders sending scary letters out.

Piracy is inconvenient,

I dunno about inconvenient. Radarr/Sonarr make it so easy to have your content waiting for you on release day. And my internet is flaky, so I'd prefer to play a local copy than stream it and have it go blurry halfway through when my bandwidth drops.
Agree on the value argument though. They're pricing people out - they can hardly be surprised when people pirate things instead.

i can't watch formula 1 legally without the ads. so i watch it illegally. formula 1 bosses could let me pay F1 Live access but they don't let me, cause our local TV has exclusive rights (which shows only SD quality with ads)

Presumably you pay to watch the TV. So you're still only watching something you're entitled to watch. Sad that some people consider that a crime.

We have a bunch of streaming subs. I just find Sonarr more convenient.

@last dirge late response, but FedEx Ground/Home Delivery is contracted out. When I see something being shipped FedEx (not 2-day or express) I just brace myself for at least a 2 day delay.
lethal ice
at least.
I had one instance where something was being delivered that required signature, and it showed twice as being "an attempt was made and nobody was home" when clearly per the cameras nobody had come to the door. Then the third attempt someone DID come to the door. They literally walked up to the door and tapped it lightly with their finger and turned immediately around and walked back to the truck
I'd rather have Lasership in charge of my packages than FedEx Ground at this point π
the dreaded 'pending' status
and @fading zodiac are you talking about Android Auto or a car with a built-in Android infotainment system? Because I've been using Android Auto since 2015 and it's pretty fantastic.

Don't know if you already tried but blood orange pale ale is my new best friend

Omb (old mecklenburg brewery) has a blood orange. Very good. Itβs like a Belgium wheat. Blue moon and shocktop. I love Belgium wheats.

Yep very similar to shocktop.

@forest edge , got one of those old time freezers that can hold 2-3 bodies and still have plenty of room for meats and veggies.
forest edge
I actually did at one point have one of those chest freezers that was 7ft long and 5ft deep lol
green inlet
Not even surprising. You hated to get rid of it didnβt you.
forest edge
well my dad had it and I just took it over.

Don't tell me you still live in the basement
forest edge
nah actually it broke and the power company here was giving 75 bucks per fridge/freezer one year so I got rid of it and a bunch of older ones. made over 300 bucks lol
green inlet
That prob got a bit awkward so they added another room with an exterior door π€£
