Here's a presentation I gave on how I trained my cats to use the toilet. Unfortunately, I did most of this process before discovering HA. I wonder how HA could have aided in the training...

oh thats interesting @sterile fractal

  1. You don't know how delayed the analytics are.
  2. You don't know how many existing users recently opted in to analytics
  3. There's never been a noticeable increase in the past.

If you want to see patterns, you'll find them. It's why people see animals in clouds and all that nonsense.

LTT videos have coincided with influx of forum users before, though.

Either way, it's good publicity if they like it.

It all comes down to the community. My start with python was the book Automate the boring stuff with python. My goalzero yeti was not integrated so I set out to do it and appreciated all the patience from the members.

Because some people just like to see their world burn?

deft pewter
#

Starting with their house when they overload the mains.

#

What's the appeal with these massive homelabs? I kinda get having some managed switches and a few servers if you're studying toward a role in that area (or keeping on top of your skills), but I see so many over the top setups when just paying for hosting would be cheaper and easier.

They who die with the most toys win

To paraphrase a previous boss of mine

Personally I need just enough at home, I don't need something like I'd want at work

I'm happy with my NUC and an unmanaged 4-port switch ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

Will build a NAS one day, and maybe another basic home server for the missus to practise on. Can't see any need to go beyond that, even with both of us working in tech.

clever mortar
#

Eh, having a Xeon based home server (ok, a 25W Xeon) has been very handy for video transcoding

#

I don't need a space heater, I need something efficient

deft pewter
#

25W is reasonable. It's when people talk about having power draw in the kW regions that it gets nuts. In most countries, that's not cheap.

the only time the breaker trips is if i turn the switch off

#

True

deft pewter
#

I couldn't teach at a high school, and I don't think I'd want full-time, formal teaching. I love mentoring people on the job.

#

If I'd finished my first degree, I would probably be travelling the world teaching English. My experiences with teaching adults that actually want to be there were quite positive.

Before the current situation I used to tour some local high schools once a year and talk about being an engineer. That was really fun.

Easy, long grunts for one, short grunt for zero

#

Everybody knows it's all binary

deft pewter
#

(how are they used in real life?)

low harness
#

I do some 3-phase power calculations. Complex approximations are incredibly handy for sine waves.

#

And I had an example on how to calculate the temperature fields around a round cable under ground by scrounging the infinite ground plane into a circle with the cable in the middle through a complex Moebius transormation. I have a neat gif of it somewhere too

deft pewter
#

You lost me at infinite ground plane.

#

I didn't take physics past high school, and I've forgotten a lot of what I knew then ๐Ÿ˜‚

low harness
#

Should have said surface. From the point of view of a power cable, the earth is pretty much flat and infinite.

#

And despite it actually being round, the cable is way near the edge. But all calculations would be much easier if it were in the dead center.

#

So with the flat earth approximation, you can actually transform the entire coordiate system to one that looks the way you want it, make your calculations there and then transform everything - including the results - back.

clever mortar
#

Ah... maths. Where you get to ignore things when they're inconvenient ๐Ÿ˜›

low harness

Alternatively, you can let someone else do all this and read the results from a table.

medical things that can reduce inflammation on lets say the lungs to prevent scarring

Steroids.

is that steriods?

steriods suck so bad

I guess if you are sicker than what the steriods make you

brisk glen

steroids yah thats it

#

steroid shots for allergies is amazing

#

@midnight addernot really

#

you cant deliver nearly as much

forest edge
#

both are considered poison by doctors

deft pewter
forest edge
#

pretty much

brisk glen
#

for the covid protocol to be effective, they need to give a certain dosage and doing this to diabetic is... very high risk of killing you on the ventilator or table

#

it stops covid from fucking up your lungs

#

prevents them from becoming inflamed and thus damaged....... thats low

forest edge
#

your on chemo and caught covid?

brisk glen
#

chemo probably killed covid

forest edge
#

it probably did, steriods kills cancer to a degree

#

ah

couldn't imagine someone surviving having both

#

yea but again chemo is poison so it's toll on the body is massive

#

minor issue

#

?

brisk glen
#

I would ask is the apple tv wifi or lan but ... THERE IS NO SUPPORT FOR HOME ASSISTANT HERE

subtle pasture
#

Strictly speaking some of those impacted AMD and ARM CPUs as well. It wasn't so much an intel design flaw as a industry-wide design flaw when it comes to Spectre... any CPU with branch prediction is potentially vulnerable to the same, or similar attack.

brisk glen
#

even apple has the same issues

subtle pasture
#

Also fun: The Raspberry Pi 3 (and older) aren't vulnerable to spectre or meltdown because they use ARM SoCs that lack branch prediction. The Raspberry Pi 4, which uses a newer SoC with branch prediction, is vulnerable to spectre.

#

All OS's compiled for the Pi4 should have spectre mitigation baked in, though. Shouldn't be much left to worry about unless you're rolling your own Linux distro, and neglect to include the necessary mitigations/patches.

subtle pasture
brisk glen
#

M1, A12-A14

brisk glen
#

Not a bug

#

Not a UI issue

#

Because you never actually turn them off

#

They always run, and usually manage HomeKit

#

Any button on the remote powers it on

#

Most users will just start pressing things

#

My wife and I have zero issues

subtle pasture
#

Guess you better never run a web browser... the spectre demonstration for the Apple M1 was done with some Javascript inside of Google Chrome

#

That's why these attacks are so dangerous, they can be a complete drive-by from a malicious (or compromised) website.

#

M1 is used in desktops...

#

The Apple M1 is their new ARM based processor

brisk glen
#

Iโ€™m sorry if people are too stupid to try to not even press a button to see if the device wakes up

subtle pasture
#

I never said server

brisk glen
#

Pi kinda sucks as a server, but I like arm servers

#

Low power

subtle pasture
#

Also web browsers get run on servers all the time. VDI / remote desktop infrastructure...

brisk glen
#

This is soo true

subtle pasture
#

Also, any app that requires electron. lol

#

You asked...

brisk glen
#

We as in?

subtle pasture
#

Yeah, I already verified the same exploit fails from Firefox, so that's good

brisk glen
#

My wife does not know about this

#

Hahahahaโ€ฆ iPad with RDP

#

I can do everything off of my tablet and I do

subtle pasture
#

The exploit also fails in unpatched browsers running in Windows 10's "Application Guard" sandbox

#

So that's also good

#

Yeah, basically runs the entire browser in Hyper-V

brisk glen
#

Probably

subtle pasture
#

I remember reading about a few for Server 2008 R2, but nothing recent

brisk glen
#

Oh azureโ€ฆ

subtle pasture
#

Also pretty slick that you can run Firefox and Chrome in the same protected sandbox as Edge. They aren't limiting it to their own browser.

brisk glen
#

I give it a few years before we go back to on prem

subtle pasture
#

in before Microsoft just runs every app in a Hyper-V sandbox

brisk glen
subtle pasture
#

Yeah, I'm still running it on a Pi 3 (with a USB attached SATA SSD as the boot drive)

#

Every time I consider upgrading to a Pi4, there's some performance improvement in the next version of HA that staves it off. lol

brisk glen
#

Iโ€™m testing running every windows app in containers

#

Thanks to msix

subtle pasture
#

Yeah, you just need to set a OTP bit to enable USB and network boot.

brisk glen
#

Jump to intel NUC

subtle pasture
#

So you'll need to boot a Pi3 once from MicroSD to set the bit, and then never again

brisk glen
#

Donโ€™t waste money on a pi4

#

You will thank me later

brisk glen
#

HA does not cluster well

#

HomeKit does tho

subtle pasture
#

I don't think you know what vSphere is >_>

brisk glen
#

I do

#

You can have a single VM that can live migrate across hosts

#

Itโ€™s kinda cool

#

Lol no

#

Not even

subtle pasture
#

@brisk glen You can also run a single VM in lockstep across two or more hosts, enabling high availability

brisk glen
#

Really? Lockstep? Amazing

subtle pasture
#

Cool tech, for sure. You can walk up and yank the power cords out of a server, and any VM with HA enabled keeps running like nothing happened

brisk glen
#

Might be the way to go

#

Atm with HomeKit I have 4 home hubs that can take over

subtle pasture
#

They are literally always in sync. VMWare recommends a dedicated 10gbps link between servers that will be used for HA.

brisk glen
#

Not insane

#

When you run mission critical

#

VMware has you covered

subtle pasture
#

Failover HA is what most VMs get, but occasionally you get that one server...

#

Setting up HA at the hypervisor level also tends to be simpler than doing it at the app level on the server, though with the potential for more overhead

brisk glen
#

So in other words, you are just bad at it so far

subtle pasture
#

Assuming the app you're dealing with even supports its own form of HA

brisk glen
#

I just assume most apps do not support HA

subtle pasture
#

I wonder if it's possible to build a HA cluster for HomeAssistant across a couple Raspberry Pi's ๐Ÿค”

#

it's based on docker, so that bodes well

brisk glen
#

In theory yes with standby

#

Just sync the file system and only allow 1 instance at a time

subtle pasture
#

You'd also need shared storage or clustered storage

brisk glen
#

Yep

subtle pasture
#

Hmm, Docker has no support for running true HA?

#

Only active/passive?

brisk glen
#

Ideally you use a block sync clustered storage

#

The issue is HA does not really support multiple instances

subtle pasture
#

I'm not asking for multiple instances of Home Assistant, I want to run a single container in a High Availability cluster

#

Strictly speaking, there would be only one instance of the container

brisk glen
#

@subtle pasture easy with docker swarm

#

You just need to do a little extra like use a hot router standby protocol

#

For routing ingress

#

Each host in the swarm can route to any container on any host

#

You can use something like traefik or nginx as a global on each host

#

Docker can use service names as a dns name

#

Easy to route via nginx for high availability home assistant

#

Using a hot router standby will let you use the same ip for all hosts

#

Just donโ€™t do this on raspberry pies like I have

#

This will get you going

#

In theory you can run your own personal assistant locally

#

This is how you swarm

subtle pasture
#

What happens when a compute node fails? Do a subset of containers suddenly die and restart, or do all continue as if nothing happened?

subtle pasture
#

Containers running on the failed node die, and are restarted elsewhere, which is classic FT

young sigil
#

For the last time: NO SUPPORT HERE.

#

ORLY?

subtle pasture
#

I believe they were being rhetorical

#

You were the "they" in that sentence, @midnight adder . lol

young sigil
#

Probably because you are pissing people off.

#

And have been since you arrived.

#

No, you refused to understand the answers.

#

By not comprehending.

#

Look just keep it to "off topic" in here and we're all good.

#

Debateable.

tidal bronze
#

@forest edge is everything good in CA? Been away for few days

young sigil
#

That would be on github. Not here. And definitely not in Off Topic.

#

Worse probably. No punches are pulled on github.

#

Correct. Pictures of raccoons only here.

#

That's a bit extreme. If you are being threatened with violence notify a mod and include a screenshot.

#

And this is not at all related to Home assistant? Sure go for it. Or find a Homebridge server.

subtle pasture
#

Could be worse, at least it's not a newer model Roborock

#

Still can't integrate mine with HomeAssistant without rooting it, which will require disassembling almost the entire robot. lol

#

With the introduction of the Roborock S6 and T6 (and S4/T4) models it is not possible to use the old method to get root access to the vacuum robots [see my talks to learn more about the old method]. Roborock changed the firmware format and started to sign all firmwares, sound packages and configurations. Also the manufacturer introduced geo-bloc...

โ–ถ Play video
#

Older models could be pair to the Mi Home app, which could be coaxed into giving up a static API key... my model refuses to connect to the Mi Home app, and only seems to want to talk to the official Roborock app, which uses a rotating key.

#

It gets weirder: The damn thing runs Android...

#

There's a USB port hidden under a panel on top of the vacuum that will respond to a few ADB commands, but nothing useful.

#

They locked it down tight

#

Once rooted, you can install Valetudo and forget about connecting to the cloud

#

I just need to make some time to tear down and flash ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

tidal bronze
#

So you have a s6 and you can't connect it to HA via integration?

subtle pasture
#

I have an S4 Max, but same issue

#

The vacuum refuses to connect to the Mi Home app, so I can't get a static API key

tidal bronze
#

Strange. I have 3 all connected and runs fine.

subtle pasture
#

It connects just fine to the Roborock app, but that uses a rotating key

tidal bronze
#

I see.

#

Widespread issue or something recent?

subtle pasture
#

Been a thing since I picked up this vacuum. I've seen a few other people having the same issue, but I dunno how common it is

#

The API keys from the Roborock app do work, but only for about 12 hours at a time

#

Then it rotates and the connection dies

#

I figure I'll just root the damn thing and run valetudo

tidal bronze
#

I have 2 x s6 and 1 older s5 never had any issues. Leaves any roomba in the dust.

subtle pasture
#

Oh yeah, functionally the vacuum is great

#

Getting it connected to HomeAssistant has just been next to impossible

#

The ability to root it at all is a recent development

tidal bronze
#

Although after using for many years, unless you are integrating traffic based cleaning I see no use in integration for regular scheduling

subtle pasture
#

Deebot is good, I hear

tidal bronze
#

Not in my tests. Nothing comes close to Roborock

subtle pasture
#

Yeah, except the high-end Deebot vacuums have dual cameras and object recognition, and generally won't vacuum up cords or cat poop >_>

#

My Roborock has gone finger painting more than once

tidal bronze
#

Oh don't have untrained pets at my place.

#

Deebot I tested went back to Amazon same day. Was a joke on cleaning performance

subtle pasture
#

I have trained pets, the problem is one is prissy and will poop next to the litterbox if it's just the slightest bit too dirty

#

Or we bought the wrong litter

#

He hates that too >_>

#

Dunno, I'll let you know when I get MQTT working on my vacuum. lol

tidal bronze
#

Best not ask for suggestions here. @midnight adder

#

well, if you have an Ecobee, you can use Homekit Controller in HA for a fully-local API without the need for any actual Apple stuff

forest edge
#

whioch is surprising cause between the connectivity and the speaker quality (use to be anyways) that is why alot of people went apple to begin with

#

like right up your ally quad lol

tidal bronze
#

I don't have issues with cloud.

#

Life is very simple

static schooner
#

it works around the crappy Ecobee servers, which truly suck

forest edge
tidal bronze
#

I used to have ecobee and nest both and thought ecobee was better. But now strictly generic thermostat and all nest units as simple switches. Comfort level never been better. @static schooner

forest edge
#

thermostats are al;ready smart and have the ability to use external temp sensors to regulate individual room or zone temps.. really don't see a need to pipe it into HA at all

tidal bronze
#

I have to disagree there.

forest edge
#

to monitor?

#

come on

tidal bronze
#

Ecobee temp sensors are too slow. Nest does not have averaging. Just not as fast as 1 min temp sensors

forest edge
#

my stupid honeywell thermostat already self adjusts according to outside temp and humidity and handles pre-cool/pre-warm accordingly etc

#

thankfully you don't need to go with nest or ecobee to get cool features anymore so I would skip both of them regardless

tidal bronze
#

I agree. I can never go back to nest or ecobee now. Sadly local devices need a serious face lift.

forest edge
#

they even make light switches lulz

tidal bronze
#

Oh nice.

forest edge
#

honeywell is cloud tho so i wouldn't go with them if you really wanted to tie it into your HA stuff

#

don't think any of the api is local but I am not sure since I didn't buy a gateway to even mess with it

tidal bronze
#

I am averaging 6 to 7 temp sensors per thermostat. When I have time going to integrate damper/register control for perfection. Just need to find the time.

forest edge
#

wtf

#

how big is your house

#

there is only two of you with two dogs!

tidal bronze
#

Well 3 dogs

forest edge
#

you walk into your house like that beverly hillbillies remake movie don't you

#

i have one thermostat, one sensor and one remote/sensor

#

if the woman gets too warm in a particular room i tell her to spritz herself with mist water

tidal bronze
#

I like your cooling algorithm

forest edge
#

works like a charm

#

reality is she takes the remote sensor and adjusts the whole house to her liking for that one damn room

#

wake up in a dead sweat cause she's fucking cold working in her office in the early am

tidal bronze
#

I honestly think the entire HVAC industry is nuts. None of the things they do makes sense to me.

forest edge
#

i mean it wasn't that long ago central air was a myth...

tidal bronze
#

And then power company gives a discount for a damn "smart" thermostat, yeah right

forest edge
#

people in NY still use broilers for christ sakes with window ac units lol

tidal bronze
#

That won't go away but most new construction is split now

forest edge
#

the remote takes control regardless if she uses it

#

and have sensors, already said that

tidal bronze
#

Well is it averaging or follow me?

forest edge
#

the remote thing we have reads the temp/humidity from the handheld unit itself and then makes the hvac cool/heat that room it's in when you use it lol

#

like an override

#

but only when she actually activates it

tidal bronze
#

Ahhh not whole house averaging.

forest edge
#

it bypasses all that

#

I don't have dampers etc

#

all my sensors do is average the temp for the whole house rather than just read from one unit (when not using the remote to override that is)

#

which is dumb as i come to find out

tidal bronze
#

Is your ducting balanced ?

forest edge
#

without zone control the temp are always going to settle high vs low, but for a breif amount of time it "feels" like it works but that's an illusion

#

we don't close our doors

#

so that is worth mentioning

tidal bronze
#

Even with open doors is duct sizes from plenum sized per room ?

forest edge
#

if I was in a ranch style house i wouldn't have these issues but having multiple stories suck lol

#

oh i dunno, this shit was put in in the early 70's lol

tidal bronze
#

Oh boy.

forest edge
#

all square ducting with round branches

tidal bronze
#

Balance boxes too then ?

forest edge
#

no, my house is 4 stories but the duct system is split in two

#

one side has less ducting gets less flow

#

er gets more flow

tidal bronze
#

4 stories single unit ?

forest edge
#

and the other with more ducting gets less

#

yea single unit

#

it works fine, it's not overworked or anything

#

just no zone control

tidal bronze
#

Oh that's an uphill battle to balance

forest edge
#

no ability to add zone control either without ripping our cieling drywall lol

tidal bronze
#

Well if you don't have balance boxes in ceilings you can still zone control

forest edge
#

like i said, if this was a ranch style it wouldn't be an issue at all

#

infact with a ranch style house don't think you need multiple sensors lol

tidal bronze
#

Depends on sun exposure and if you want perfect comfort where ever you go.

forest edge
#

if one half of your house baked while the other was shaded all the time you got bigger issues

#

my neighbor has a firplace that she added to the house when it was built

#

and she has vents in the floor that lead from the downstairs to upstairs just so heat could rise lol

#

f that, i wouldn't want to wake up, look down to seeing someone stare at my balls looking up

tidal bronze
#

1 fireplace to heat entire house ?

forest edge
#

it's split level so the house is short

#

like stacking apartments

tidal bronze
#

I love fireplaces

forest edge
#

gas firplaces sure but wood burning ones suck

tidal bronze
#

All mine are gas.

forest edge
#

anything built from the mid 80's onward is likely gas. everything before that is likely wood burning

#

gas was a huge thing back in the 80's. gas company actually gave away and installed for free outdoor grills that ran off the NG around here

#

this house still had a working one till i removed it when i renovated over 10 years ago

#

and the external lights were gas lights too

tidal bronze
#

NG is my favorite fuel

forest edge
#

crazy stuff

#

yard lights or whatever they called those damn worthless lights in your front yard lol

#

all it did was attract bugs, such a dumb idea

tidal bronze
#

Bugs? What's that ?

forest edge
#

build a huge wall up and down the coast line at least 200ft high and you'll find out

I think the planet is trying to kill us

#

had the longest stretch of super cold weather in my lifetime, now we're about to go through the longest stretch of super heat. covid has mutated to the point that it's back to putting vaccinated people in the hospital

this is kind of neat https://youtu.be/6RiYXI1Tfu4

In Claughton, Lancashire, the Forterra brickworks produces 50 million bricks a year, from shale that's quarried a mile and a half away. To get that shale to the brickworks: the last aerial ropeway in the country. These used to be common: but now, the last one will be gone by 2036.

Don't need to read every source to notice that there's some fucked up weather patterns now.

They're even worried the Gulf Stream could be halted.

I'm specically asking about this claim:

covid has mutated to the point that it's back to putting vaccinated people in the hospital

#

I'm up to speed on the latest climate ๐Ÿ’ฉ

deft pewter
#

Breakthrough infections do seem to be on the rise with delta.

forest edge
#

i didn't say killing people

#

but it is putting people in hospitals even vaccinated

worldly sierra
#

Given that the vaccine is not 100% effective, that is to be expected. Still says nothing about hospitalisation. There is only something like 40% reduction in cases, but 95% reduction in serious / death.

forest edge
#

it's all over the news here

deft pewter
#

I don't think we were seeing as many before delta.

forest edge

it's enough hospitals can manage thankfully but it is on the rise

The guardian says on the 3rd of august:

The CDC said 99.99% of people fully vaccinated against Covid-19 have not had a breakthrough case that resulted in hospitalization or death

forest edge
#

yea that's wrong

worldly sierra
#

the CDC is wrong?

forest edge
#

my girl works HR and knows people who been hospitalized that were vacinated

#

so even if the news was bs, can't dismiss actually knowing someone lol

tall anchor
#

remember that literally millions of people have gotten the vacine now, that means that 0.01% is still a lot of people

forest edge
#

yea 32000 or so

tall anchor
#

anyways, I just discovered the discord/slack client ripcord, it's working really nice on my low-performance cheap laptop, uses less resources than the web client

forest edge
worldly sierra
#

I'm sorry but that is not even something to discuss. you know someone who thinks they know something. Was your GF pressent when they got vaccinated? For example anti-vaxxers my say they have been vaccinated when they have not. Were they actually sick or an excuse to get off work etc. There is no basis in what you are saying.

I'll take the CDC over your mrs working in hr every day of the week

A job with fiddling with linux full home office for about 112k usd/yr sounds like a good deal?

Maybe, or maybe hell

$112/year equivalent in your own currency would be great. That much for a tech role in the States would be a bit low.

And before on call 24/7 at home

I mean it depends where in the States

$112k bay area is basically poverty wages, $112k in rural TN you could be living in a 6br house with 3 cars and still have leftovers for two vacations a year

What's the home app for you? HA, launcher, something else?

There's a few dozen things called Home - clarifying it as the iOS Home app would have been handy

Also shows as Home

ohh, that's homekit

so for the not cool kids. Good to know

I'm just saying several apps call themselves HOME

They should really show it as Google Home

To some perhaps. Not to me that I know nothing about iOS ๐Ÿ˜…

Yea, iOS in the home app doesnโ€™t support buttons

Didn't say it was Apples ๐Ÿ˜›

how does sth work offline?

Oddly my entire HA works just fine offline... but that's straying into not in this channel territory

Same with Zigbee, Z-Wave, and other protocols - it's not exactly magic

Well, they are WiFi

And many others have given that 100% offline solution from day 1

Speaking of which. Make sure to enable analytics: it lets us know how many are using certain integrations and gives leverage to convince manufacturers that local control is the way to go.

what do you even talk about offline homekit?

I don't get it

nothing works remotely if you are offline

homekit doesn't do none of that for you
