Anyone use anything to get the same video source to all the TV's/streaming devices at once, in sync? I'm looking for a solution that is preferably over ip

jade tartan
#

so i didnt realize the magic home rgb controllers were flashable

#

this is good news

scenic radish
#

depends on which "brand"

jade tartan
#

this one but it's the A variant

#

i mean imma solder to it and try flashing, cause i havent been using it for a while so might as well

scenic radish
#

make sure it's actually an ESP first

jade tartan
#

esp8285 on the chip

scenic radish
#

you want it to come back as Espressif

#

ah gud

jade tartan

jade tartan
#

1st thing i did,LOL

#

i was like, YOLO

#

ive had this controller for like 4 years and only used it for a month when i got it

#

lol

#

i hated the magic home shit

scenic radish
#

yeah, i think the LED controller i linked above was the first device i serial flashed with tasmota

jade tartan
#

oh nice!

#

so i opened a zigbee switch i had also

#

it has serial connections

#

WHAT CAN I DO WITH IT?

scenic radish
#

probably nothing

#

maybe read serial data when it's powered

#

but do not connect it to serial when connected to mains

jade tartan
#

which is the part about doing this magichome controller that throws me

#

is you keep it connected appearently?

scenic radish
#

what do you mean?

scenic radish
#

well, that's 12VDC so that's different, but that's still weird... you should be good with just connecting it to 3V3 and GND

jade tartan
#

mk

scenic radish
#

not sure why they recommend powering it via the adapter

jade tartan
#

ill try without 1st

#

currently heating iron

jade tartan
#

lol i just used the standard tasmota 9.5 bin i have been for everything, so far it says it's flashing

#

heck of a time trying to get gnd to wet with solder tho

scenic radish
#

That's usually the one you need except for some specific cases

jade tartan
#

it worked

#

just i gotta figure out the config

#

cause only green was working really

scenic radish
#

Follow that

glacial knot
#

and I obviously did something wrong with my setup. Can't connect to the controller ๐Ÿ˜ฆ
I should probably do nicer solder points either way

scenic radish
#

What do you mean by can't connect?

glacial knot
#

esphome.py just times out. I suspect that I can't properly connect GPIO0 to ground on bootup. Since my hands suck, and the GPIO0 isn't connected to anything, so I'm trying to short it with a jumper cable

jade tartan
#

@scenic radish so i have found which pins do each color

#

but i cant get them to have a ui that works

scenic radish
#

Set them all as PWM 1 2 3 in the order of R G B

jade tartan
#

what about W?

#

it's an rgbw strip

scenic radish
#

4

jade tartan
#

cant seem to get them to treat w as it's own channel

scenic radish
jade tartan
#

ive been drinking, whats the red pill on making it work seperately?

#

lol

scenic radish
#

What are you trying to do? In HA you can control RGB and white separately

jade tartan
#

nvm

#

i got it

#

all set

#

works like it should now

#

now to get HA working with it

#

so i can light up the room red when some shit happens

#

lol

#

@scenic radish any tips on making HA see it as rgb i can change? it comes up as toggles when auto discovered

#

nvm again

#

You can kind of think of the white as saturation

To make pastel hues

Anyhere here have experience with Ledvance Smart+ RGB WiFi bulbs? Can't pair that thing

Never seems to enter, according to the documentation, a blinking mode to indicate pairing

I have some of their RGB-Strips (under Osram brand), and had no issue with them. None of the bulbs though

hasty aurora
#

Yeah I dont understand anything. When I turn them on they cycle through red, blue and green before going into steady white. If I understand the mayhem of documentation this means it is reset. But it never go into pairing, blinking white.

I am thinking of returning the bulbs, never had these kinds of issues with any other brand.

Thatโ€™s a pretty rare situation. There are like 1800+ integrations, including general ones like MQTT

The only thing that I can seem to find integration for are my August locks and a few tp-link kasa switches. I have extensively read through the thread on the Feit Electric dimmer switches, but flashing them all isn't that appealing. All my stuff works with Google Home but that is sooo limited. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

Imagine confusing storage with transfer

clear ferry
#

No need to transfer if all your data is replicated to every site

#

Don't think I've actually heard of anyone pushing data from one site to another outside of original replication

#

Either it is a site migration with all hardware or just regular multi site replication as a background task

#

The Amazon Snowball is probably made for those purposes for customers migrating to cloud with no proper original infrastructure in place and ridiculous data amounts

worldly sierra
#

I mean CDNs exist to replicate data to every site (ish).

#

The end-to-end time to transfer up to 80 TB of data into AWS with Snowball Edge is approximately one week, including the usual shipping and handling time in AWS data centers.
so around 1058 Mbps

Hi guys, i'm new to zigbee protocol and im very impressed by how homeassistant can easily detect zigbee devices and transform their raw message into meaningful message.

Is there any possible way to do this ? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

A lot of hollywood movies are swedish dubbed in Sweden (perhaps most targeted to kids age range).

Well one of my leak sensors just came in handy. Something blocked the utility sink drain while the washer was running and the sink filled up completely and started spilling onto the floor. Thankfully it was almost all directed into the floor drain

#

When a leak is detected I have notifications sent to my phone via multiple services and select lights around the house flash blue

pure tundra
#

the "make a light flash a color for a notification" is a great type of automation and I intend to implement as many as I can think of so I'll be adding this one once I get some leak sensors

#

have you found any way around the problem of it leaving your lights the wrong color when they flash a color from off (I make a temporary scene as is)

green inlet
#

Am I missing something? I just set the value on every light.turn_on

static schooner
#

A temporary scene is the way to go

scenic radish
#

yeah, scene.create with snapshot_entities is what i use to record the previous light states

#

that's pretty much the only time i ever use scenes

pure tundra
#

but if the scene I create has lights that are off those lights retain the color from the notification instead of what they were before they were turned off

static schooner
#

The point of a dynamic scene is that it takes a snapshot of what the state and attributes were and allows you to restore it

pure tundra
#

I guess the color isn't an attribute while the bulb is off or something then

scenic radish
#

i think i'm confused about the problem

static schooner
#

If it was off, it will turn it back off

pure tundra
#

the only solution I came up with is worse than just changing the color manually in my opinion and its turning on the lights then capturing the statew

scenic radish
#

i'm now super paranoid about the washer ๐Ÿ˜‚

pure tundra
#

if my lights were off then the leak happened for example they would be blue the next time I used them

ah yeah, you just have to be careful to specify a color temp/color then in each service call that they're used in

Now I just need to have object detection on the "donation boxes" so I dont have to open the door

Facial recognition doesn't recognize random people at your doorstep? Disappointing

late gate
#

yeah it is!

#

but it should detect the begging box

I get a image on my phone whenever someone approaches my door anyway, so I know if I should bother opening before the ring the doorbell thankfully

yeah me too, just didnt have my phone next to me

so how useful is that frigate thing really? Seeing it here all the time I feel like getting a cam and the accelerator, just to play with it D:

I never have false positives for my camera

frigate is very accurate to detect objects

Frigate and coral that is

with double take it is very good at faces

I just want to track my movements in my flat and turn on the lights of the rooms I'm walking to ๐Ÿ˜‚

so easier to trigger the surveilance based on frigate than just random movement

for room person detection

Just add more

#

Esp32s are $2

glacial knot
#

nah, I had the idea for a bit longer. But never felt like actually getting it done. But I added some more motion sensors, and now I want to 1up it and detect myself before I enter the room

#

For the BT variant, it could be interesting to base it on the "wifi looking through walls" paper work o.0

#

If you have the hardware and the WAF the frigate and face detection is not a bad idea, though then you need to have cameras on when you are home something I would not have inside

ahhh

easy. I live alone

but now I wonder if I should actually play with just EM-beacons and readers at the walls to detect water bags in the space

If you are alone sound detection can also be accurate. db meters are cheap and very accurate

Added a new automation that you guys might find cool!

When someone texts me a variant of "On my way" or a variant of that message ("J'arrive", "OMW", "Je suis en route") through messenger,
Home Assistant sends me an actionable notification with two options: https://i.imgur.com/Puf3lMT.png

Welcome them: Which triggers the "Waiting someone" condition, which enables the door AI to auto-unlock the lock when a friend is ringing using a camera in the door.

Welcome And Register:
    This one is a bit more complex, upon pressing this one, you soon receive a next serie of notification, asking for a Name and an URL to a publicly available image: https://i.imgur.com/Xn7MI6x.png & https://i.imgur.com/ZgoOvGI.png
    This is then ingressed into Double-take to add the new face/person to the system: https://i.imgur.com/OKDidL1.png
    And finally, the condition "Waiting someone" is enabled.

The whole thing was a massive pain that took 2 days to set up, but it is now working at an acceptable level after many tests with guests.

What do you guys think!?

Batteries are a very pointless expense unless your goal is to be 100% off grid with a cabin in the woods. Use the grid as a battery where you feed in during the day and use at night. Almost always the cost difference will be less than battery maintenance

Yep

Realised this as soon as I started digging

pure tundra

as long as net metering survives thats true

Unless you have a gigantic battery array

Like a months worth of power

but even with massive battery array you are replacing every 5-10 years, regardless of use.

Indeed

A colleage gave about 50k sek

They normally just make it to midnight on battery power

But his house pulls 1,4kW just idle, electric heating and ftx etc

50k is a lot of electric

worldly sierra

yep. if you use 15kw you need minimum 30kw as you can only use 50%. Then account for a couple rainy days and you realise you have about 5 minutes tops on a bad day with a 500,000kr battery array ๐Ÿ˜„

I could probably manage with that to live off grid 1)during summer 2)not charging car

Could probably borrow and tag on to loan, as it increases value of house

I already got 10% since May, think I have used up this years quota ๐Ÿคฃ

I'm wary of doing that because they could decide to end net metering and then it wouldn't ever pay itself off

But got 25% in 2020

I am so glad they got the flux led integration working with current bulbs

clear ferry

Flux ๐Ÿคข

forest edge
#

can't beat the price for what you get

clear ferry
#

I thought you meant the shitty f.lux integration

#

flux led is the magicled stuff ?

#

I binned those a few years ago

forest edge
#

yea the magichome stuff uses the flux led intergration

#

and it's been brokered for like forever for the current stuff. worked just enough to turn on/off lights and set color through less than ideal ways but now it works as it should

#

magichome stuff is all esp chips as well, so most gave up on flux and threw tasmota or esp on them lol

#

I had three bulbs and one hub, just shucked them

#

and replaced them with zigbee bulbs

but the bulbs I have reaching one of the gpios was near impossible so I didn't bother flashing mine

they added bluetooth to the shelly 1's heh

clear ferry
#

Since the old Shelly1 is esp8266, that would surely mean it is a new model

#

The Shelly Plus 1 ?

forest edge
#

yea they using the esp32's now

#

I mean I know it has it regardless but just seems silly for a shelly 1 to have it

#

don't see a use unless you like created a mesh bluetooth network or something

clear ferry
#

not really, you can install esphome or any custom firmware on them

#

and use the BT bits for whatever you want

#

like triangulation or controlling other bluetooth devices in proxmity

thats about it

Just had a discussion with a german about their horrid latency from ISPs

Most banks do let you set secure passwords, though I've seen on bank force passwords to lowercase, and another restrict between 6-8 alpha-numeric characters (no symbols). I do not bank with the last bank for that reason :lul:
