omfg dude.. seriously how are you not already dead

clear ferry
#

I can eat a whole package on a whim

last cedar
#

Same. but it has to be cooked

wet pilot
#

eh, its not a good idea, but raw pork from a first world nation isn't as bad as it could be

clear ferry
#

I've never been food poisoned in my life

#

I eat raw ground beef too, although mostly limited to 50g by the wife

last cedar
#

Wat

forest edge
#

you probably been food poisoned this whole time, you just nevver experienced life without being poisioned to know the difference

clear ferry
#

I have eaten half a package quite a few times though

#

Homemade beef tartare is noice

last cedar
#

Serious question now... When the waiter asks how you want your steak, have you ever said "raw"? 😂

clear ferry
#

Yes

#

Or "bleu" in France

#

Which means 1 second on each side

#

Norwegians never heard the phrase don't eat food that fell onto the ground

Aha, so you are on the good bit of land, I am on the yellow and blue bit next to you :)

Are you remembering to watch my printer @forest edge å ?

Or should I just stop paying you

atxbyea autopsy will look like those pictures you see when they open up sharks and license plates fall out

I admire your iron stomach. Also slightly jealous that you can experience raw meat without getting ill

@last cedar Corona country I see

forest edge
#

you two are neighbors lol

#

Yeah, proper disaster here.i think people actually actively seek to be close to each other, not like the Scandinavian norm

#

Yes

I can get on my moose and ride over the border

Are you remembering to watch my printer @forest edge å ?
@clear ferry you never reposted your link to it so it's lost in the abyss

Bookmark it baby

@last cedar I've been twice to Sweden already this year for work, and 5 times for shopping

@last cedar 1h20m roughly, but since Corona I've done 6 installs in Sweden from home office

Closest I have been is Karlstad. I live in Eskilstuna.

#

I've been often to Karlstad, my parents have a house in Säffle, was driving to Karlskrona in January for a job

#

My fluent Swedish have fooled many Swedes

last cedar
#

Nice!!! I like Säffle, really calm and isolated

clear ferry
#

Used to work in Ireland on a Scandinavian desk, 90% were Swedes

#

I mean, I am a British but can mostly understand Norwegian anyway. You probably sound like a native. As long as you don't say "gul böj" because we will know you are an imposter.

Akta dig, där kommer farthinderet

Unless you have Skåne dialekt. Because that needs a decoder ring.

After all the raw meat you eat, a fart hinder would be a disaster

Just in time for the election @forest edge

#

it's messed up, makes you wonder what else slipped through because people were distracted by the pandemic and weren't focused on thier crticial jobs

clear ferry
#

Here they are freaking out because 50 people got confirmed on Friday,so now they are inducing more lockdowns it seems

#

We have 270 dead so far

#

And 13600 total confirmed

forest edge
#

well they did predict a second spike in the fall for those who had the spike early in the year

last cedar
#

Brain eating amoebas. Sounds like something Trump got the FBI to put into the water /s

#

In Sweden it is more like, oh we have 5500 dead. Lets just all wash out hands. Literally

clear ferry
#

We have been back to normal basically since June

#

Except for plexiglass in front of cashiers

#

And facemasks on planes, but I think that is international

last cedar
#

Perhaps yes. We have similar here with plexiglass. But no restrictions really. Apart from the odd person with a mask, nothing is different tbh

clear ferry
#

Exactly

last cedar
#

Oh yeah, stickers on the floor, with the 1.5m thing

clear ferry
#

I see one in 100 at the store with a mask, mostly elderly

last cedar
#

But people still walk by, nearly running into you

#

Probably less than that here. People don't really make an effort, myself included.

#

I don't ever use alchohol gel, only if I have to go to hospital, but I have been doing for this year.

#

So I guess I am part of the problem too!

clear ferry
#

I only have one fixed customer visit every week, and there is hand disinfectant all over the place, so I use that, and at the store I use disinfectant when entering and leaving, and I do facemask when flying

#

That's about it

last cedar
#

Same with the stores

#

Unfortunately I work for the municipality basically (my job is 99% for them, 1% our other customers) so on average I visit maybe 3 schools a day

I am amazed I don't have more colds/ have got covid yet tbh

Then iirc no gatherings over 500 people

That is currently 50 now

And avoid rush hour travel, work at home if possible

That is basically it

they were saying on news clips you didn't even do any of that

@last cedar big place yeah but not massive. set the APs to lower power and have multiple APs.. best way i think

Yeah, roaming is solid it seems

I currently use a single eap245 at home. It is pretty solid IMO

I do however have one mounted in the roof (external on front of house in the eaves). Covers the front garden, drive and the road - hilarious - i love it.

I configured a 1500 ap setup in a hospital, tuning power for minimal overlap was.... Interesting

We have a 96m2 appartment, so not large

You and your crazy wifi setups

Are those 24 aps in the garage for cooking chickens when your microwave breaks?

You should see my wired ones then!

I guess you cook chicken? Or do you also eat that raw?

how he is able to eat "raw meat" the waves actually cook the meat enough before it enters his mouth

Had a friend who did that, he was fine, but I would never

I have standards

With 24 aps it is probably incinerated

I am looking at a house at the moment, 133m2, 2 floors brick built. So probably going to need another ap if it turns out to be nice

Also gonna have to sort out some nice cameras for outside

That would be a pretty normal Norwegian house

My parents have... 330m2, plus two garages and two apartments in the house

Not gonna lie, that's huge

My sisters live in smaller houses, probably 180m2

I got claustrophobic

Only for a year though

Your bathroom is probably larger than that now 😂

yup... that was my plan with this appartment too...
life happened, five years later looking for houses again.

My bathrooms are tiny actually, but I have 2 bathrooms and two WCs

I honestly didn't want to move. But neighbours above moved out and we got an incredibly shitty family living above us. They all have concrete feet. Wake up at 6am and sleep at 11pm, never get any peace when we are at home.

Orange brick I might add. Reminds me of Manchester

Lots of nice toys there!

#

I have water too, practical when I have my winter greenhouse in the garage

last cedar
#

This was the main supply. Would be a dead server rack in seconds with a burst pipe. Looked like there was a room on the other side that would be suitable, the room next to the laundry room

#

No windows either, slightly better security

Psssh security

That is something Americans worry about

I am paranoid. It is what I work with. I have seen some things

I can count the number of break ins I've ever heard people have on... One hand

I also think it is very very fun to play with stuff :D

#

Looking at setting up and RCO system at home, if you have seen any of their stuff.

#

It is great to work with, literally anything is possible with enough time and imagination.

clear ferry
#

You can diy a lot of that I guess

#

I've seen people do it with esphome

last cedar
#

I can DIY it all, but would end up being relays controlling external stuff

#

Rather than an integration

#

I am going to try and see how easy it would be to integrate to though, it is on my to do list

#

It points at a server, ideally 24/7

#

I think the server is easier to query than the system itself

#

But unsure exactly how much the server gets to know from the system, other than "important events"

#

Not sure if it logs changes in states for alarm zones etc

But yeah, I need to look into how easy an integration would be. I am guessing well beyond what I can do, I am not a coder.

clear ferry
#

@forest edge better?

last cedar
#

Otherwise it would just be simple integration via relays for movement in zones to trigger lights etc, follow armed/ disarmed states etc

@clear ferry thought you all had more hybrid options over there?

They have silly rules about who can get what cars, based on if you work in or out.

I drive 30-40k km per year, I enjoy comfort

Hybrids are no use to me and EVs are too short range, or shit comfort like the Tesla

S is for douches

if you got the means why not go with an EV

#

Get petrol power generator and charge ur battery on the go

#

😆

last cedar
#

They were talking now about not having enough suitable cables out to the smaller villages etc to support electric car charging

#

In Sweden at least

#

For people to charge at home that is

#

Have a friend at work who lives about 6km off the main road. He doesn't even get 230V out there there is so much drop on the cable

#

It will be interesting how the problem evolves over time tbh

#

I am expecting their solution is to force us to pay for pv panels and a battery though. To save spending on infrastructure

#

Also, totally unrelated question. I run 0.96.5 HA. Time to upgrade? 😂

#

I didn't realise it was so old

clever mortar
#

Yes... just watch the 20 rounds of breaking changes 😉

#

Ooooof

0.96

clever mortar
#

It's do-able, but depending on your install method could be painful

forest edge
#

someone did that not too long ago without issue, they went one step at a time

clever mortar
#

Docker and Venv are probably the most straightforward, since you can stand up a separate instance, test your config against it, and keep tweaking until it works

hushed basalt
#

Just be like me and wait for 0.x.3 to be a few weeks old

clever mortar
#

That's close to my approach, which is to wait until it's been at least 2 days without another release in sight

#

0.115.4 may bring back the ability to stream cameras to Google Home hubs too, which would make it the first of the 0.115 series I'd consider

I should probably update from 0.113.2

Needs to be able to talk to an arduino via usb

#

No idea what to do tbh

nocturne aspen
#

That's sounds like some serious upgrade

#

I think you should get some good hardware first

#

Pi2 is too weak for HA

#

i think that something like a second hand Dell Wyse Z90DE7 would be best value for money (inc power bills) solution for a start

#

and then install a new OS & new ver of HA on it, and try to migrate your config

you will be amazed how good the new versions are and how well your new machine will perform

Looking for some help, drawn a blank everywhere else. HA is running as a VM but lost connection to if via other computers, first one then everything, including the host computer. Keeps asking to log in but won't accept any of the genuine log in details. Anyone have any ideas?

velvet horizonBOT
#

@modern bone 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.

Sorry maybe not the right topic but I search for 1h on Google and don't find this plug, maybe someone here has an idea... Totally frustrating

It's a JST connector I guess

@young thicket sorry that should be .1" 2.54mm spacing

Spacing is 1.5mm

This is not a JST XH. The XH is wider

If you search for JST 1.5 on eBay you will find loads of them. Pre-wires or the equipment to wire your own.

I think they are JST PH

So, I do not want to come off as a Karen, for a lack of better words. But I do think over my several years of being here in this community, that on more than one instance I have felt shunned or belittled for not already have mastering python and whatever necessary languages there are to fix problems I may have on my own. And I just have a few questions and wouuld like to specifically share a more recent incident to find out what is the proper protocol or if anything at all can be done to smooth out these interactions.

is it better to PM?

hello

nocturne aspen
#

how many entities you guys have in your systems? how many entities is reasonably "too much" for HA?

#

opening Dev Tools -> States can easily freeze Chrome on my 2015 Macbook Air and even my 32GB RAM desktop struggles with it

#

but i dont think ive got a lot of things automated/templated compared to complexity of some configs i am seeing on github

static schooner
#

it opens quickly for me, but filtering is pretty laggy

#

I have 985 entities

#

other than that, I don't think I'm anywhere near any sort of limit that actually affects the functionality of HA

#

there was a build a few months ago where opening dev->states was very slow, but I think clearing the browser cache fixed it

nocturne aspen
#

ive got 1050, but i think that the valetudo_map is killing my states page - it actually contains pixel per pixel map as content

#

the thing is im still building it up, for example every new xiaomi plant sensor (ive got just 6 so far) adds 6 new entities and ive got whole garden to monitor for my automatic watering

dull chasm
#

1891 on one instance and 600 on other

#

Amazing

#

That is sweet

#

Is it only bluetooth? Said bluetooth le on a spec sheet I saw

nocturne aspen
#

yeah, its just bluetooth

last cedar
#

And the obvious question, do you have to learn how much a certain plant needs?

#

Some like little water, some like to drown etc

#

How do you blanket a whole house with bluetooth coverage?

nocturne aspen
#

the range on BLE isnt huge, but ive got a tiny Rasperry Pi running https://github.com/ThomDietrich/miflora-mqtt-daemon located in the centre of my house (so all the plants are in range) and feeding data to MQTT, planning to get another one for my garden

GitHub
ThomDietrich/miflora-mqtt-daemon

Linux service to collect and transfer Xiaomi Mi Flora plant sensor data via MQTT to your smart home system, with cluster support 🌱🌼🥀🏡🌳 - ThomDietrich/miflora-mqtt-daemon

#

also when you add Miflora sensors to the phone app it contains a database of literally thousands of pounds together with the sensor values range for each

#

(im not sure how reliable that data is though), so its easy to just enter those numbers to plant sensor confirg

last cedar
#

"Isn't huge" sounds like you would need to test it in the specific environment.

Also, once the pi has the bluetooth info it can send it over wifi or ethernet I guess, so problem solved there.

#

Oh nice, that sounds really well thought out

nocturne aspen
#

and also in my Raspberry Pi im using special long range bluetooth adapter https://www.lm-technologies.com/product/bluetooth-v4-0-dual-mode-long-range-usb-adapter-lm1010/ but im not sure if there's any meaningful benefit of having long range adapter

Also not immune from using say a optiplex 7050 as a router

720 even has a SD card RAID1 built in

as standard!

clear ferry
#

@nocturne aspen SD card raid is a gimmick, you still have to shutdown the server to boot the secondary, and reboot to start the mirroring

nocturne aspen
#

Cant agree, it's great for esxi. Single industrial card with such OS will last forever and if something happens to it once per two decades you can get your system up in a matter of 15 mins

clear ferry
#

Which really isn't an issue in 99% of esxi environments because you have enough capacity to withstand multiple host failures ;-)

nocturne aspen
#

but engineers time cost money ! 🙂

clear ferry
#

And with a properly composed environment a reinstall is less than 15 minutes, and if you can't withstand host failures you can run San boot or proper SSD boot

#

The cost is minimal these days

#

You still have to shutdown the host to replace the failed SD card, so the downtime will be there anyway

nocturne aspen
#

anyway, in my home set up, before 720 ive been using a 512GB SSD (because this was the smallest drive i had) to host a 5GB OS, which was waste of ssd and energy

#

aand was less redundant than my current setup

clear ferry
#

I've run esxi in my lab on a 10yo usb stick for over 6 years

It never failed before I retired the environment

sticks arent designed to last long

i mean surely there are decent quality sticks out there which are really though, but you can never be sure when buying a new stick how long its gonna last

hearty depot

desnt esxi mostly live in memory?

nocturne aspen

but with industrial SD cards at least youve got confidence that it was designed to last

@hearty depot indeed it does but obviously it needs to boot up from something (and that disk cannot be used as data partition btw)

I have an RGB light that i'd like to flash on / off when the doorbell (zigbee switch) is pressed and then turn off when the door is opened (zigbee door sensor) - what's the best approach?

I was planning for user notification that I can turn on / off but want to store the image even if the notification is off. I also know nothing about webservers but think this is where I need to place the image so it is stored

@rancid wharf HA itself is a web server... if you store files under www folder, you can access them using web url

rancid wharf
#

well - I did something right then. Does HA have a card or something that I can use to display a folder full? Even better could I use that to delete or move the file?

waxen solar
#

@hearty depot how do I make the RGB light flash using automation?

last plaza
#

cards are front-end, what you need is something backend script that moves/deletes files - you can have scripts show in cards that you can run

I have a HACS question. I've seen a couple tutorials about adding new cards from HACS and even some vieo tutorial and after installing lovelace plugins in those videos I've seen people see a "Add to lovelace" button, but I don't see such button

@night zodiac I'm pretty sure they are just rebranding Android TV to Google TV and doesn't lose functionality in terms of sideloading apps. Also, I have YT TV and enjoy it. It does integrate nicely with Chromecasts and Nest displays

When resilvering a zpool, what does issued mean ?
5.55T scanned at 5.15G/s, 3.85T issued at 3.57G/s, 5.55T total
Anyone knows ?

clear ferry
#

This split is what the new 'issued' number is telling you about. In sequential scrubs and resilvers, 'scanned' is how much metadata and data ZFS has been able to consider and queue up IO for, while 'issued' is how much IO has been actively queued to vdevs. Note that it is not physical IO; instead it is progress through what 'zpool list' reports as ALLOC space, as covered in my entry on ZFS scrub rates and speeds.

#

Also First, a buffer is filled up (it defaults to 10% of main memory, IIRC) with reads that are to be issued. As it fills up, the larger chunks of contiguous reads are issued in as few passes as possible, to minimize the IOPS needed. Periodically, it also completely flushes the buffer and updates the legacy scrub status variable, so that it can be resumed later if the system shuts down (even on older versions of ZFS).

Bonnet 🤔

weary summit
#

So apparently there's no encryption between the tire pressure sensors and the car (at least for most cars)

#

which therefore means that you can add a passive antenna somewhere around your house to have your current tire pressure in home assistant

dusky plank
#

what protocol is that Hypfer?

last dirge
#

TPMS

#

not all of the systems constantly report though

#

some require driving

dusky plank
#

so you can also make a spamming broadcaster in your car and make all the other drivers panic?

last dirge
#

it's pretty low power

weary summit
#

I guess you could find out the id of your neighbours sensors and send mock tire pressure data

#

please don't do that

dusky plank
#

don't worry I drive a old car, just curious 😄

#

do these sensors actually use kinetic energy from movement or are there small batteries in there?

weary summit
#

afaik they use batteries and need to be replaced after 7-10 years

I did read something about energy harvesting sensors becoming available somewhere in 2010, but that didn't happen apparently? no idea

last dirge
#

they should be replaced after every time you put new tires on

#

and tires are good for 5 years

#

that's for sensors that are in the valve

#

some cars just use a system whereby they detect rotational velocity differences using a ring on the wheel hub

#

doesn't detect actual pressure but detects differences in pressure due to changes in wheel diameter

wet pilot
#

most of them aren't super accurate. Some vendors are better than others though

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.

Hey @clever mortar I see you around here all the time. Just wanted to say thank you for helping so many people!

clever mortar
#

No worries

#

I'm paying forward the help that was given to me

#

And sometimes doing more than just pointing folks at the docs 😛

plucky sparrow
#

you either needed answers to quadzillion questions or you are overcompensating a little bit 😄

clever mortar
#

I've been working in IT for a long long time 😉

#

One thing I learned a long time ago is that the more you understand about any system the easier it is to work it

#

Whether that's an operating system, a database, or some big interconnected country spanning monstrosity

plucky sparrow
#

One thing I learned a long time ago is that the more you understand about any woman the easier it is to work it

#

Had to alter it a little 🙂

clever mortar
#

Well, tech, people, the same logic applies

#

Similarly, apply the wrong voltage to a human and it too fails to work afterwards

plucky sparrow
#

human are more broken by design. there are bugs that can't be solved.

deft pewter
#

And just like with the tech industry, sexism isn't cool...

lethal ice
#

yeah mono, I wonder if perhaps application of proper voltage might help fix that problem, too.

deft pewter
#

One can hope

clever mortar
#

I'm up for testing that, there's a large enough problem set that we shouldn't run out of test subjects in a hurry

lethal ice
#

"We're going to need another Timmy!"

plucky sparrow
#

missing consistency could be a problem?

clever mortar
#

We should test that too

#

And ensure we operate in really small voltage and amperage steps

#

Yes, 1,499,999.999 V still kills, need to turn it down another 0.001V

#

Can we have another volunteer please

#

curiosity: does anybody here use Sonos gear? I do not currently but it's under consideration.

clever mortar
#

Yes

lethal ice
#

Thoughts? I'm looking at the Arc and am mostly just nervous about its complete lack of DTS support. But also anything new that can be integrated with HA is always fun.

clever mortar
#

I'm loving my Play units, good quality music, integrates well with HA, what's not to love

#

I may pick up some of the Ikea versions at some point 😄

forest edge
#

isn't sono's that brand that just keeps dropping support on stuff making them useless? lol

clever mortar
#

Well, "keep" is a stretch

plucky sparrow
#

I just got a Ikea sonos speaker. lack of connectivity is my main downside. while spotify plays nice, I can't play audiobooks on it with my local player

clever mortar
#

At least unlike Logitech they don't release stuff and then drop it a year or two later

forest edge
#

lol

clever mortar
#

Yeah, I don't do audiobooks over speakers, that'd be a headset only thing

lethal ice
#

Yeah my use case would be primarily Plex-driven.

clever mortar
#

You can play from Plex, though I've never tried

#

Most of my use is streaming from Spotify (was Google Music, but they're killing that) or a local library (SMB)

lethal ice
#

I'm so depressed about GPM going away.

#

I hate YT Music.

clever mortar
#

That's why I moved to Spotify

#

It's a pretty good replacement, and I'm actually finding more new stuff now

lethal ice
#

I went to the opposite extreme and moved to a giant FLAC library and PlexAmp.

#

The stupid thing is I'll probably keep YT Music anyway because not having ads on YouTube is still worth it 😐

clever mortar
#

I'm also really liking the fact that my playlist follows me between devices, so if I'm listening in the car then get home the playlist continues

#

But yeah, all my own music is FLAC on my server

plucky sparrow
#

@lethal ice ublock origin (browser) and youtube vanced (android) to get rid of ads

lethal ice
#

Yeah I know, but then you end up having to set stuff up on every computer, and then there are things like TV apps.

clever mortar
plucky sparrow
#

well the browser addon is needed anyway and the addon should get synced on all your browser installations.

#

and vanced has other benefits like background play etc

#

but yeah, my chromecast still shows ads, but I don't use it a lot

#

I just followed up the idea to play my audiobooks via plex to sonos. But that needs plex pass 😩

#

Not worth only for that. I use my plex only to serve some friends. I still prefer kodi.

i always need to transfer files between computers but i dont want to authenticate my accounts on the computers in question. does anyone know of a solution that is quick easy and free?

#

i was thinking maybe like an open source file sharing system that i can host myself

light trout
vast lily
#

thanks i am checking it out but if its like reslio sync then its not going to be ideal as it requires installing software and sharing keys, etc

#

i want something where i can just grab a file with no links or anything, something i can do from memory

#

normally i use a ftp server but looking for something better

#

looks like sync thing would require installing on the computer

deft pewter
#

You want computers to sync to each other without installing any software on them? 🤔

vast lily
#

no

deft pewter
#

🧙

vast lily
#

ideally i would host my own version of something like mega

#

i upload the file, it gives me a file ID and then i can go to the other computer and tpye in that ID into the web browser and it downloads the file

light trout
#

For sharing anything though whatever you need something to do the transfer, and it needs to be trusted/accepted by both parties

vast lily
#

yeah http would do the transfer

deft pewter
#

🤦‍♂️

#

HTTP is a communication protocol. What's on the other side serving things up in this magical scenario of yours?

vast lily
#

i already said i would self host the server

light trout
#

ownCloud then

#

or NextCloud

#

or any webserver

deft pewter
#

I'm interested to hear how you'll host a server without software.

light trout
#

carefully

vast lily
#

that is waht i am asking for a recommendation on, the software

#

maybe you came in late

#

didnt see that

#

owncloud might work thanks

#

since i will host it myself the links will be something i can rememebr

light trout
#

Home Assistant would work as well

vast lily
#

that might work because didnt HA just add a file manager?

#

i think i read that in the last change log

#

if so it will give me an easy web interface to upload the file

#

id have to research if its possible with nabu casa though as that is what i am using for external access to my HA

light trout
#

No web file manager

#

That's only for profile images, and snapshots

vast lily
#

ah its just a browser

#

its ok i will just t hrow owncloud on a vps

#

if windows had something built in like ubuntu's worm hole i would be golden

#

i know i can do WSL but the idea here is not installing any new software on the computers that i am getting the file on

#

that is why i want it to be web based

light trout
#

Windows has had network shares that predates some of the users in here

vast lily
#

this isnt on a LAN

light trout
#

and?

vast lily
#

i want to be able to get the file from anywhere

deft pewter
#

Someone should create a way to access resources on a home LAN from the internet.
