I can hear tone through the wall in that spot!

#

So legit the electrician didn't finish the job, it got drywalled in, and he got offended when I called him out on it.

green inlet
#

Booshee, got my broadlink today

night zodiac
#

I did too pdobrian. I talked about my adventures above about assuming way too much and wasting my time :p

#

You send signals straight from HA and I assumed I had to config stuff with phone and then call based off of that

green inlet
#

It aint EZ-PZ

night zodiac
#

I had success jjust converting codes online rather than recording

chilly nymph
#

What is the name of the box I need to buy and install?

night zodiac
#

I am going to see if maybbe I can switch my tv to commercial mode and see if I get separate on/off commands

chilly nymph
#

Aw crap there's no outlet in here for a switch either lol

night zodiac
#

poe

green inlet
#

I figured like 2021 right. Like just add the code in the manual....29482....and we rock’s

chilly nymph
#

That's not a bad idea

night zodiac
#

pdo, there are a few scripts for the common jazz

#

I had success converting things from random-ass codes too

green inlet
#

Yea, I have seen them. Haven’t gotten that far. Are you using the smartir custom integration or the HAss integration ?

night zodiac
#

sec, looking through all of the chrome history from my adventures earliuer

#

took me awhile to find all of thsi shit so I didn't have to install people's stuff, lol

#

all browser tools

green inlet
#

I got it added and then 🍺🍻🍹🧉

night zodiac
#

what

green inlet
#

Pretty sure smartIr is mostly for thermostats

#

The HAss integration will prob do for me

night zodiac
#
#

oh, no idea what that is

green inlet
#

Lmao....ok,@let me figure it out and get back,to you

night zodiac
#

I was using something called discrete codes so the normal stuff is probably easier

#

I was going to try and figure out how I did it earlier and tell ya, haha

#

what TV ya got

#

or are you just focused on thermostat

green inlet
#

Do you do windows?

night zodiac
#

yeah

#

well both

green inlet
#

Dr. Zzz has a pretty good video on the first version that clues you in on how to find codes

night zodiac
#

well I'll tell you how I do it if you want, not a ton of stuffs.

green inlet
#
night zodiac
#

oh, I saw that way. I didn't want to teach

green inlet
#

That’s what I am going to do

#

And then I am going to go fuck all the young chics with my rm4 pro

night zodiac
#

okay, well what I do is have been finding the codes on there. I paste it into the first convert tool. I remove all of the spaces from that, paste it into the jdoodle. get the output of that and then do the hex to bse64 and it works, lol

#

64:code

green inlet
#

Cause I can

#

👩‍👩‍👧‍👧

night zodiac
#

then yelling to my girlfriend across the house to see if it works

green inlet
#

Ok 🙏🏻, U&ME_Rm4_Pro 4 Lyfe

night zodiac
#

ignore me messing up

#

I could just write a script to do this so much easier than all of the BS in there but oh well, won't use it much maybe

#

meh, might do it for fun tomorrow

scenic radish
#

Lol jerk

#

just wait until you flash tasmota on an IR blaster and realize it's always waiting to receive commands and you can use those to automate other things

night zodiac
#

I have the components to make some IR jazz and have made some for work but I wanted something not too ugly for the bedroom

#

what are some tasmota flashable ones, I'll have to look

#

didn't even realize tasmota did IR

scenic radish
#

It's kind of random tbh

#

I have two monoprice Stitch ones and one moesgo one

night zodiac
#

yeah, sounds weird. the web panel didn't seem very oriented towards that but very good for buttons and relays

scenic radish
#

The stitch ones were tuya-convertable, the moesgo was manual flash

#

Well, you can use it in HA is what I mean

night zodiac
#

more fun to manual flash

#

feel like a surgeon

scenic radish
#

The web UI is mainly for testing

#

Not meant for normal use

night zodiac
#

I can't remember the exact uses

#

I thought I configured the pulse in there for a few second press

#

maybe I did that with a mqtt call actually

#

that sounds more correct

#

PulseTime or something

#

googles

#

yes, PulseTime,

#

I didn't actually ending up using that sonoff relay

iron silo
#

is there any database admin integration where i can clean up some bad data?

#

or do i have to go in manually with sqlite command line and do it?

chilly nymph
#

@scenic radish I have a tuya one I got off ali and flashed a couple years ago. What "extra" are you automating with yours?

night zodiac
#

disco lights

scenic radish
#

When it detects certain button presses from my TV remote when the TV is off it triggers the "lights off when TV on" automation

#

Similarly when it detects the power button pressed when the TV is on it triggers the opposite automation

chilly nymph
#

Smart tv, or based on voltage/amperage?

scenic radish
#

Vizio integration is local polling, so there's up to a 10 second delay between detecting state changes and it's 2021 so I don't deal with that

chilly nymph
#

On a smart plug

#

Ah

scenic radish
#

Yeah, smart TV

night zodiac
#

2021 now y'all

#

I can't plug my samsung tv in or it gets buck wild on the network

scenic radish
#

And it controls the sound bar and living room fan, both of which are IR only

chilly nymph
#

Yeah makes sense. My big screen is not smart, so I have to do it with my gocontrol plug to see if it's on or not

night zodiac
#

I got mine literally to turn off my tv and that is it

chilly nymph
#

Power metering

night zodiac
#

I can automate turning it on with chromecast but not off without assistant relay trash

#

I didn't look to see if HA can do the fancier IR stuff for remotes with displays

chilly nymph
#

I haven't flashed tasmota in a while. I should do it again so I don't forget it

#

🥳

scenic radish
#

DOIT

#

I will buy shit I don't even need solely because I want to flash tasmota on something else

#

I can stop whenever I want

night zodiac
#

I think I would only really use tasmota for buttons and relays or stuffs like that. I like esphome a lot

chilly nymph
#

Lol

scenic radish
#

Yeah depending on what you're doing ESPHome definitely would make more sense

#

For something like a smart plug, switch, etc. Tasmota is king IMO

night zodiac
#

yeah, I like to take complexity out of things if I can and tasmota keeps it basic

chilly nymph
#

Oh I'm not putting esphome down

#

It's just tasmota is KISS

scenic radish
#

And still very powerful

#

Love the console

night zodiac
#

it has just enough for what we needed

chilly nymph
#

But esphome has a lot more options, not limited to mqtt, etc

night zodiac
#

Matt is the homie

chilly nymph
#

Not that I don't love mqtt (or matt)

hushed basalt
#

Tediore is basic

chilly nymph
#

With my new house though, I have a LOT more space and needs than I did in my condo, so I'm probably going to be learning a lot of new things

scenic radish

chilly nymph
#

Cameras are my new obsession

scenic radish
#

Still in a condo, hope to move to a house in the next few years

#

Until then I'll enjoy effectively just paying people to do all the exterior maintenance

chilly nymph
#

Thanks!

#

Yeah trust me, that part is nice

night zodiac
#

I like renting

chilly nymph
#

BUT

night zodiac
#

small city with cheap rent = perfect for me

#

fiber

chilly nymph
#

So I'm still living at my old place for now, for my kids school for the rest of the year. Go down to the new place on the weekends and to check on it during the week...

night zodiac
#

sounds like a perfect grow operation spot

scenic radish
#

I did not like renting, but it was a good stepping stone

chilly nymph
#

I have a doorbell camera and the last 2 days someone else has been coming to my house and landscaping

#

Like legit

#

I have no idea why

night zodiac
#

oh dear. I need to pay my yard services. I keep forgetting

#

I hid the bill from myself

chilly nymph
#

I don't know who that is

night zodiac
#

stealing your leaves

#

I had to pay someone a lot of money to do that and then go out there myself and finish the job, lol

chilly nymph
#

But two days in a row, they are coming over, raking, trimming my hedges, putting it all in bags and putting the waste in their car

night zodiac
#

Do they think someone else owns it still? lol

chilly nymph
#

The last person to own it, for a full year, was a contractor who was just flipping the property. Prior to that, it was a woman who passed away a year before the contractor bought it

#

So... Doubtful?

night zodiac
#

maybe someone thinks the woman that passes is still around but doesn't bother them but feels like cleaning up for them? lol

#

Idk

#

🍻

chilly nymph
#

I'm not complaining

#

I do feel a little bad because the hedges they are trimming are hedges my wife wants me to remove this spring

night zodiac
#

oh no

chilly nymph
#

I'm pretty sure they are dead 🙄

night zodiac
#

Did you see them in the summer?

chilly nymph
#

Also, not sure how good it is to trim plants in the winter anyway

#

No

Fuck me, I'm back playing borderlands 1 again

#

Couldn't resist the siren song

night zodiac
#

I wonder how many times a HA integration can update zigbee2mqtt per second(if), lol

#

haha, you got all of the packs?

#

I wish borderlands 1 multiplayer on pc wasn't so bad 😦

#

makes me so fucking sad

#

unless they improved it

chilly nymph
#

Oh borderlands 1 is one of my favorite games

night zodiac
#

Tediore and I were just chatting about our borderlands 1 adventures the other day

chilly nymph
#

If destiny didn't have such smooth gameplay, it would probably be my #1

night zodiac
#

I mean, like 5 lights making them sync with music and such

#

I wonder if it can keep up

#

or just stay consistent, that is. not about delay

#

I can offset

scenic radish
#

MQTT is very lightweight

#

As far as commands/second, the coordinator will play a big part in that

chilly nymph
#

I usually have problems with the lights themselves getting overloaded

night zodiac
#

I'll have to write some sample code in a bit when I am more sober

chilly nymph
#

If I flood them too much they just decide to stop responding

scenic radish

I have no issue pushing a ton of updates in and out of zigbee2mqtt at once though

deft pewter
#

Reckon you'd get responsive lights if you tried 30fps+?

#

I'm not saying it can't handle a burst of traffic if you want to control multiple devices... I'm just not sure how well it'd handle sustained traffic.

clear ferry
#

Yeah, ZigBee probably ain't good for RGB control backlit

#

But I tested it a bit with webhooks for plex

#

And play pause play pause play pause was as responsive as expected

Did you try pause play pause play pause

clear ferry

No

My plan is foiled

chilly nymph
deft pewter
#

Did you try the Konami code? smart

chilly nymph
#

🤣

#

That is something I did not try. The brands I had tried were cree, lightify, and tradfri, but never tried hue. I don't think those are compatible with the konami code, but perhaps there is an integration that could resolve that 🙄

Just an idea for the developers and Nabu.casa maybe for the extra money that subscribers pay for the cloud service maybe there could be a dedicated discord channel or help website. There's nothing worse than coming onto discord to ask for some help and getting condescending and asinine responses. We are not all code know it alls. If you don't have something nice to say....

deft pewter
#

Suggestions go over on the forums 😉

#

I don't know where you think the paid support will come from, to be quite honest. The 'experts' are all on this server and most of them are volunteers.

#

A paid support server would be very... quiet.

night zodiac
#

" the extra money that subscribers pay for the cloud service" ? o.O

deft pewter
#

Didn't you know you can spend the same dollar twice?

night zodiac
#

That is an excellent way to put it.

deft pewter
#

Maybe a little condescending and asinine though.

minor mesa
#

Thanks for proving my point. So being an " expert volunteer" means that is the proper way to act. Gotcha. My apologies for not being a know it all code writing nerd. Just wanted to ask a few questions but from seeing how you "expert volunteers" act I guess that wouldn't be the appropriate thing to do.

Hey, so I'm new to HA. I've got it all installed and running, imported all my services etc and got it working on my phone, happy days. I'm looking to start building some automations but I seem to have run dry on good YouTube videos to guide/teach me. Had anyone got some recommendations for a newbie on where I can pick up tips and just general knowledge?

clear ferry
#

Generally videos are outdated and useless within a few months, read the docs and discuss in the channels further down here

#

The community forums also have a lot of people sharing their setup

night zodiac
#

When reading the docs, I'd suggest reading both what seems relevant to you and what doesn't. Look at ALL of the examples, even if it seems irrelevant, as they will be very useful if you learn by seeing what others are doing. There was a recent HA online conference which should be up to date for ideas. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKsVm4cWHDQDGRXnybFUOLlcDWPsroGGB

clever mortar
#

If you really want vids then DrZzs ones are worth looking at, just remember they're at risk of being outdated, and you won't know 😄

night zodiac
#

just assume everything is outdated if the video didn't come out that week and cross reference it with the docs

uneven vapor
#

Yeah I am noticing the development send really fast

#

Even something a few months old can be out of date already

Which is great but also tricky for newbies try to pick it all up I guess

Hello everyone. Is there a way to monitor inside nothing detection but that knows the difference between a person a pet?

#

So far I have only thought of a camera but wouldn’t that invade privacy inside a home?

#

A camera and image processing would do it but it there another way?

night zodiac
#

is the pet chipped?

shrewd oasis
#

No

night zodiac
#

no fun

deft pewter
#

PIR sensors. You'll just need twice as many,.

#

Buy a set of the ones that claim they don't get tripped by pets... and a set that does get tripped by pets.

#

You'll know if it's a person or a pet depending on how many trigger 😄

shrewd oasis
#

Interesting approach

deft pewter
#

The only other way I can think of would be to have buttons in each room, maybe 15cm off the floor.

#

Then you just need to train your pet to press the button when they enter a room.

shrewd oasis
#

I think that’s the best solution. I will work on that one

#

What if he was chipped

How would that help?

Are you trying to make a point against yourself? He said you paid $5 in exchange for not having to spend 20 minutes doing something. If you had to spend more time on it, you're getting better value as an inexperienced user. Yet none of this has to do with wanting support for HA when you buy #cloud-archived. They will gladly help you with #cloud-archived but not HA.

If HA isn't quite your cup of tea, what alternatives are there? It can be commercial. Something with support for zwave, zigbee and mqtt would be nice. Does that at all exist? Perhaps this is a non-topic in these channels?

cedar chasm
#

Well I would expect most people hanging in the lounge would be committed HAers

chilly nymph
#

Agreed. Plus commercial could mean quite a few things. The nice thing about HA is it is often interoperable with many of the "commercial" systems.

#

But when you say commercial, I generally think of things like crestron or control4, rather than smartthings, wink, or hubitat.

cedar chasm
#

Athom Homey Pro costs lots of money, so you would hope it was somewhat useful

cinder heart
#

I appreciate greatly the number of integrations of HA, but it also comes with a number of "annoyances" (which can range from bugs, unfinishedness and to design decisions). I don't have too much time to invest into tinkering so I'm trying to gauge the pain points and when it's gets to be too much (sunken cost fallacy). I don't believe that the other (commercial) solutions is without faults of it own.

cedar chasm
#

The difference, I suppose, is that having payed for a commercial service, you can unleash the wrath of the displeased consumer if something goes wrong.

#

But mixing and matching eco-systems will inherently involve tinkering

#

In my humble opinion

chilly nymph
#

@cinder heart If you think you may have time to tinker later, it's not the worst thing to use something like smartthings or another hub that has HA integrations. Because then in the future, you can transition slowly while still having devices work. A big down side of most bug name solutions is that it is cloud based, so you may lose access to all devices if their servers go down. Like with ST and wink, both of which are notorious for it. But have also been two of the biggest names

#

That said, wink recently decided to start charging everyone to use their service, with very little notice. So you had the choice of paying or losing access. Which is why a ton of people switched away.

#

You risk that with any cloud based solution

How much time and money do you really save in doing so @tepid roost? The price of the screws for a 50 pack was sub $1 for 2.5" screws at home depot yesterday

2.5"? That's overkill 😄

#

Most hinge fixtures here have 3 screw holes. I'd be happy with 1" screws if there are 6 of them holding the door up.

@deft pewter I agree that it's overkill, but I bought them for a different purpose

#

And rather than make yet another trip, just use what I have

@cinder heart been in this for a long time. You will have to decide if your goal is extending/remote control or automating. Extending most platforms would work and is good. Automating HA would be a great solution. Is anything perfect? Far from it.

@tidal bronze yes I know, I mean I don't think they license the velcro name

deft pewter

But they pop open quite easily...

I'm still surprised how many people don't realize that putting the fuzzy side in when using velcro makes it so much better

Fuzzy side in? You're a monster.

Fuzzy side out every time smart

Especially with cables

@clever mortar I still don't understand why the asus didn't just automatically switch to the wired backhaul and cut off the wifi backhaul

clever mortar
#

It should have - I'd bet there's a bug in the firmware

chilly nymph
#

Is the model you got compatible with merlin?

clever mortar
#

No idea, and to be honest I don't really care 😄

#

They do fast WiFi, I don't need alternative firmware on them

chilly nymph
#

I'd recommend you look into it. Merlin is just the asus firmware with extras, plus fixed security

As long as you can get internet, I'd love that place. I don't even need heat.

I'd even take 100 mbps if I had to

dull chasm

damn so you will give up alot uh

chilly nymph
#

Lol. Looks beautiful.

#

And I'd say giving up heat is a lot

dull chasm
#

heat is a must

chilly nymph
#

When I say heat I do mean a central heat type thing. I'd deal with fire places

Make a man a fire and he'll be warm for a night. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life smart

My wife wanted me to get these face plates for outlets that are also a night light. Because she wanted me to put it on a switch. Apparently I didn't do enough reading because it's not compatible with switches

#

This really puts a damper on my plans because I had planned on automating this switch as well

last dirge
#

dat tilt shift doe

#

@chilly nymph those plates suck

#

and they don't work with all outlets

#

they rely on the side terminals on the outlets to grab their power

chilly nymph
#

I knew how they worked, just assumed the contacts were adjustable. They are not.

#

indeed they are not

#

which is why they suck

So need to find a solution for the bottom of the stairs to the master

good evening!
I am not sure, where to put this question, so i am going to ask you in the lounge a question and where i should ask it😉

I want to automate a servo motor wired to a ESP32 nodeMCU with home assistant.
I had it running already, but i changed my HA from 32 bits to 64 on friday, and since then i always get this "unknown tag !<!lambda> " as a warning in my nodeMCU ESP32 *.yaml file...

Can you guys tell me, in which channel i should ask for help on this topic?

clever mortar
#

It's only in the channel topic here 😉

chilly nymph
last dirge
#

@whole nacelle are you having problems getting the ESP working or getting HomeAssistant to talk to it?

chilly nymph
#

Do you know how to read channel topics? I know it's not straight forward on mobile.

whole nacelle
last dirge
#

@whole nacelle not necssarily 🙂

whole nacelle
#

@last dirge ESPHome seems to be unhappy with that code line, since i changed the HA build

last dirge
#

meaning you upgraded and it broke?

clever mortar
#

Ah, no 😉

chilly nymph
#

@last dirge I wasn't saying it was the right place. Just the best place to not get mauled for asking if you don't know where to go

clever mortar
whole nacelle
#

nope, i flashed the 64 bit instead of the 32 bit HA build (running on a raspberry 3 B)

clever mortar
chilly nymph
#

@clever mortar to be fair, it can be very confusing for someone new to HA and discord, as on mobile, a lot of people don't know topics exist

whole nacelle
#

@clever mortar see!😁 confusing , for a complete noob like me haha

last dirge
#

okay, sounds like you've installed the OS

chilly nymph
#

Though if he's using esphome he may not be a newbie I suppose

#

i really do not want to disturb you, guys, shall i change the channel for further begging for help? :)

#

In some of my servers people don't even know there is a user list you can swipe to

whole nacelle
#

@last dirge copy that! thanks!

clever mortar
whole nacelle
#

Thank you guys for your advices! Have a nice Sunday evening! :)

chilly nymph
#

Don't worry @whole nacelle, I'm one of the people who has done exactly what you just did

#

Though you handled it much better than I did

whole nacelle
#

It is always hard to dive into a new thing and if forums or chat-rooms or similar, where many rules and people are involved, i try to start somewhere in the least pushing way i can.
(and i always keep this nice german idiom from Berlin in mind: 'Wer nich' fracht, kriecht keene Antwort' which more or less translates to 'the one who does not ask a question, will not get an answer')

Thank you again :)
