does anyone have a link for a decent article or video explaining mqtt and how it relates to home automation? have read a lot of sites and I am feeling really dumb not getting what it is actually used for.

inland wigeon Nov 19, 2020, 5:46 AM

#

Think of it more as a messaging protocol - like SMS.

#

devices send messages to a broker, which then stores/forwards these messages to others (eg HA)

#

these messages can contain commands, status updates, values etc

dusty hull Nov 19, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

So I kind of get the idea of it being a messaging protocol and not a communication standard i.e. wifi/zigbee.

inland wigeon Nov 19, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

yah

dusty hull Nov 19, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

and oddly I can understand the technical idea of the broker and qos messages with multiple topics. Just not fully certain why/when I would use it in my smart home automation. Maybe I just don't have devices or scenes that require it?

inland wigeon Nov 19, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

ahh ok

dusty hull Nov 19, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

so with HA, it can already push/poll the state of entities. what benefit do I get with integrating mqtt?

inland wigeon Nov 19, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

yeah perhaps - in my case I've got xiaomi/aqara sensors (via zigbee), weber igrill (via BT to raspi then MQTT), unraid server monitor

#

they all have their own initial communication protocols, but in the end spit out stuff to MQTT, which HA can then use

#

if you have devices that can only use MQTT, or need to use it as an intermediary

#

eg don't need it for say Hue, cause it's got an integration

dusty hull Nov 19, 2020, 5:53 AM

#

so its for devices without integrations already created?

inland wigeon Nov 19, 2020, 5:54 AM

#

yep, or as an alternate - eg Xiaomi

#

think there's an integration that uses their bridge, but if you don't want to use that you can use a zigbee stick and zigbee2mqtt

dusty hull Nov 19, 2020, 5:54 AM

#

ah ok, so if you want to bypass the tuya/xiaomi/aqara/whatever new name they have App/integration/cloud you can configure those devices using mqtt?

turbid stirrup Nov 19, 2020, 5:54 AM

#

Because async is da bomb =)

inland wigeon Nov 19, 2020, 5:54 AM

#

as for any other benefits, I have NFI. I just accepted thats how some things were done.

hollow glacier Nov 19, 2020, 5:55 AM

#

err

#

i was under the impression if not using zwave or zigbee you could use only mqtt over wifi

#

like what i do with nodemcu's and esphome to create cheap lil sensors

inland wigeon Nov 19, 2020, 5:56 AM

#

ah ok, so if you want to bypass the tuya/xiaomi/aqara/whatever new name they have App/integration/cloud you can configure those devices using mqtt?
@dusty hull yep that's the initial and main one I use

#

I think you can do the same with Hue devices and yeet their bridge, but possibly issues with firmware updates? I also needed to keep Siri/HomeKit working, prior to it being implemented in HA.

dusty hull Nov 19, 2020, 5:59 AM

#

Thanks for the responses and information

inland wigeon Nov 19, 2020, 6:02 AM

#

does it make more sense now?

dusty hull Nov 19, 2020, 6:03 AM

#

Yeah i think so.

#

I work it/Network /software Dev as trade so I was frustrated feeling so dumb about it. Searches for it were only really coming up with technical explanations about the origins /pubsub/broker and not real useful examples of why to choose it over other protocols

As an integration / service bus kind of guy professionally, but still smart home boob, the benefit of using queue based message transfer is your sending system does not have to wait until the receiving system is responsive / has processed the message.
Especially with the "fire and forget" kind of messaging from (many) dumb sensors I feel this would be useful.
I would like to use MQ transfer for anything that does not need to be processed immediately and does not care about the response from the receiving system.

dusty hull Nov 19, 2020, 6:30 AM

So for climate sensors and things like that?

a build for streaming services

#

🤔

vagrant blade Nov 19, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

like a roku or what's built into smart TVs

clear ferry Nov 19, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

there is roku integrations already

#

you mean run HA on a smart TV?

#

that sounds horrible

vagrant blade Nov 19, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

no no

#

sorry I'm not being very articulate.

#

I would like to build something that centralizes all of my AV and audio media in one "box" and pushes it out to multiple screens/sets of screens and speakers/recievers that push it to speakers.

#

ideally it would be controllable by HA

#

I'm not finding anyone trying to do anything like this - which is surprising. Feel like someone would have traveled this road

You want to do some kind of multicasting?

Most people would have a NAS where everything lives, and then you can use a veriety of devices to play it back.

@deft pewter
Isn't that the cover for Meddle ? 🤣
@clear ferry As someone who listened to WAY too much Pink Floyd in her early 20's... no, that's not the cover of Meddle at all. lol

#

In sync playing of any media is non trivial

vagrant blade Nov 19, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

yes - so a potential use case could be that i can automate screens/speakers that go on or off based on motion

last cedar Nov 19, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

And those apps or devices can be controlled via HA

vagrant blade Nov 19, 2020, 6:06 PM

A raspberry pi can run HA, as long as it is a 3 or newer with any storage, but I would never 🤢 @dreamy karma

@vagrant blade I am in a building with distributed HDMI over Cat6. As many as 30 input sources and 112 outputs. We use Crestron as the brain, but we are, for lack of time to really deep dive on it, remapping ports to different VLANs in order to direct the signal from source to receive

#

You could theoretically create the distributed video fairly easily, having it follow you would require Bluetooth tracking or something to know which room you were in

vagrant blade Nov 19, 2020, 8:14 PM

No need for a heavy / complicated drivetrain to allow the gas engine to power the wheels directly, its only purpose is to generate electricity when the batteries are low.

brazen fable Nov 19, 2020, 8:59 PM

They need to come up with a viable wireless charging option for at home chargin

plugging your shit in every night is kind of obnoxious

@bitter pawn No, hybrids can directly drive the wheels with the gas engine

bitter pawn Nov 19, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

hmm i see what you mean.

#

its an interesting idea

#

i still like the volvo's approach to hybrid that they had a year or so back

#

instead of a lithium battery

#

Hydrogen fuel cell?

bitter pawn Nov 19, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

they ran a compressor and pumped air into tanks.

#

i think it got like 30-40mpg but it was an interesting take on it

subtle pasture Nov 19, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

I thought compressed air proved to be not energy-dense enough, and also... potentially explosive...

bitter pawn Nov 19, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

i think the latter part is why they didnt go further with that design

#

but still pretty impressive

#

i think it was volvo i might be wrong

subtle pasture Nov 19, 2020, 9:02 PM

I remember that, half the video was talking about the design of the air tanks, and how they were made to "split" rather than "pop"

A nearly empty gas tank is actually more likely to explode than a full one. lol

bitter pawn Nov 19, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

but this whole "hybrids/EV's will save the planet" seems a bit of a stretch to me

#

just seems like a different type of pollution. or one that doesnt directly tie the user to the pollution.

subtle pasture Nov 19, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

I mean, the other advantage of hybrids is they don't need nearly as-large of batteries as full EVs

inner vault Nov 19, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

it's easier to shoot old batteries into the sun than clean emissions out of the air though 😉

subtle pasture Nov 19, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

So they're lighter, and get better milage out of both their gas and electric motors

#

And they don't use up nearly as much Lithium, which is dirty as hell to mine

#

Like, I can see why hybrids are taking off. It's a decent middle-ground

bitter pawn Nov 19, 2020, 9:07 PM

yeah.

#

thats why i own one.

So you end up with two motors, two fuel systems, the complex interlinkage,

#

@brazen fable that's a low milage year for me

subtle pasture Nov 19, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

@hushed basalt This is why I advocate for EVs that have a backup gas generator (no drivetrain for the gas engine)

clear ferry Nov 19, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

I do 30-40k km mostly

hushed basalt Nov 19, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

A hybrid would save me maybe $1500 a year in fuel

#

That would be useful @subtle pasture but then you're still lugging around a generator for the entire life of the car to be maybe used a few times

#

So that would shave off a good chunk of range and battery lifefime

subtle pasture Nov 19, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

@hushed basalt The idea is to offset the weight of a generator with a smaller battery

hushed basalt Nov 19, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

But that would just mean shorter range and higher depth of discharge

subtle pasture Nov 19, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

Nope, you have gas, your range is great

hushed basalt Nov 19, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

But you'd never be able to charge at any meaningful rate with a generator small enough to not be a problem

subtle pasture Nov 19, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

And you get MORE out of that gas than a normal car, because there are no mechanical losses

#

Not true, actually

hushed basalt Nov 19, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

A honda eu2000 is 2000VA but still weighs like 25KG

#

only 1500Ws of continuous delivery

subtle pasture Nov 19, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

Toyota developed a free-piston linear generator, it's tiny and efficient

#

It literally just uses combustion to sling a magnetic puck up and down a cylinder, and the cylinder is a giant coil

#

it's about as direct a gas -> electricity conversion as you can get. Neat stuff.

hushed basalt Nov 19, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

Two stroke 🤢

subtle pasture Nov 19, 2020, 9:33 PM

They were claiming it was more efficient to use that + electric motors than it was to derive mechanical energy from the gas

hushed basalt Nov 19, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

Anything that's two stroke is not going to be good for the environment

subtle pasture Nov 19, 2020, 9:34 PM

They did a 4-stroke design with two opposing cylinders

#

Which you'd want anyway, to keep vibration down

#

Ouch my wallet

hushed basalt Nov 19, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

I had a look at that design

#

The one I saw was clearly two stroke but maybe you have a better example

#

Maybe they have a way of doing it so it's not so inefficient

#

I'm not sure, but there's always a lot of chance for greenwashing

so I thought I'd ask, otherwise I can try both lol

Nothing like trying and deciding for yourself.

static schooner Nov 19, 2020, 11:20 PM

I found ESPHome to be supereasy to use, has OTA flashing, lots of built-in functionality, and interfaces directly to HA. But most of that is probably true of Tasmota too

subtle pasture Nov 20, 2020, 12:18 AM

That was my experience with Tasmota. ESPHome was too difficult to get working on any of my devices :x

You can dismiss it with the "x" in the lower-left corner of the banner, but it's stored as a cookie...

That joins my other "System" automation that reloads template sensors on every restart after 3 minutes of uptime, because otherwise some template sensors never populate after a restart/reboot

Check out "School Live" if you want a bit of a mindfuck. It starts out as a slice of life school anime... it really, REALLY isn't

Oh, and lets not forget "Interspecies Reviewers," which Funimation picked up... and then immediately dropped after dubbing one episode

#

Because they realized they'd purchased dub / release rights to a hentai

23 minutes ain't no one got time for that. Added to 'watch later'

subtle pasture Nov 20, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

After pulling Interspecies Reviewers, it immediately climbed to #1 on Funimation's own charts thanks to stupid levels of publicity from the mixup

#

Which prompted the original studio to release a second season

#

I still want to know how they managed to purchase the rights to a show they knew nothing about

@hearty depot did you buy the fridge? The HA integration is currently broke and if you have custom controls in HA, it won’t render well in the browser on the fridge.

nope, I have to brake the current fridge in a sneaky sneaky way 😭

Where would be a good place to get a recommendation for smart locks that are esp8266 based?

Recommendations for #hardware-archived? I'm not sure.

All the more reason to look at the channel list in case something has changed 😉

Haven't seen the channel before.

Starting to look like channel pollution

I got nothing. #hardware-archived have been here a while, and, three posts up. Prob better to just accept and post in the proper channel.

I'm thinking it makes a lot of sense for here

Exporting power is worth next to nothing so getting a bigger window of self consumption is better than the sum of energy generated

Any reason to swap from opnsense to pfsense? Looking to add in unbound to opn so I can get rid of my pihole (don't need pretty graphs).

#

Will be a new build, so I can swap with minimal effort. Only dhcp, ntp, nut server and unbound. Perhaps suricatta

light trout Nov 21, 2020, 10:26 AM

there is no integration for pfsense in HA, so that might be a reason 😛
