#

i get the msg of attempting to connect and then it fails

#

how do you paste snips on discord?

#

well somehow \homeassistant\config mapped to a second laptop

sly kindle
#

type the ip address directly in file explorer's address bar with the backslahes.

#

don't start with network browsing or mapping

limber cedar
#

somehow \192.168.1.14\config doesn't work in the explorer but \homeassistant\config works.. why is my ip not letting me in. did i unknowingly do something to limit this IP being used

sly kindle
#

I paste images using sheer will

#

are you sure the ip is correct?

limber cedar
#

yes,

#

i used ipscan to check it

#

and set a static up for it

#

even FING lists as homeassistant in its results - checked again now

sly kindle
#

if that ip works in a browser with :8123 at the end then there's no need

green spade
#

@sly kindle ahahaha surprise!! Just so glad it's working and I learned a lot, thanks!!

limber cedar
#

i cant access frontend lovelace using IP:8123 only duckdns works for both internal and external

sly kindle
#

@limber cedar I thought you disabled that

limber cedar
#

i did disable the ssl with # the two line you suggested

#

that let me access the front end but its still connected with https:\name.duckdns.org and not the IP:8123

#

earlier i was not even able to reach the frontend

sly kindle
#

@limber cedar can you go back to the terminal and get back to the # prompt

limber cedar
#

yes

sly kindle
#

so "root", then to the HA CLI, then "login"

limber cedar
#

i just did nmcli -p device show

sly kindle
#

and the ip address is what you expect?

limber cedar
#

yes it shows 192.168.1.14\32

#

i dont know if that \32 is how it should be

sly kindle
#

ok and 192.168.1.14:8123 in your browser does nothing?

limber cedar
#

2nd image...... no the browser keeps looking for the url and return 'This site can’t be reached'

#

or if i use https then 'An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.1.14:8123. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR'

limber cedar
#

I removed an add on dnsmasq and checking if that fixed the issue of IP not reachable. this should be the culprit. ...reboot

#

No luck. still same

sly kindle
#

you've got dnsmasq, nginx...I really don't have any sense of how your networking is going

Hello. totally new to HA dude here. Just got it installed on a odroid xu4. has anyone got VS Code running on an xu4? Is it really not compatible?

#

Has anyone gotten the Xbox One addon working through docker/docker-compose?

sly kindle
#

@green spade I kinda suggested that as an addon a ways back and then it got made and while I loved the idea of it, I found it cumbersome as well. Makes coming up with grocery lists and keeping track of stock another job.

@limber cedar Hi, I have same issue. in my case simple config DuckDNS does not work with dnsmasq. I have to use nginx plus DuckDNS, than I have an access bys DNS for outside connections and IP:PORT from inside connections. About Samba configuration you should put interface (optional) variable to correct working Add-On.

@ALL I have a question - It is possible to change shared directories in samba Add-On on Docker Installation ? I tried co edit config.json, optional.json and one more file - without success, maybe someone of you know how to ?

Hi all! A question about MotionEye addon... about this: This change enables the user to activate the motion webcontrol endpoint for other than localhost which is the default. This is controlled by a new bool in the add-on configuration motion_webcontrol. I'm not too sure if without enabling this motion_webcontrol parameter the webcontrol endpoint is available at localhost? Or do I need to enable it to access at localhost too? Someone knows?

#

I think I can answer myself... a wget http://localhost:7999 returns the HTML with the info, so it seems enabled 🙂

[error] 33#33: *1 upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream, client: 144.XXX.XXX.XXX, server: domain.duckdns.org, request: "GET / HTTP/2.0", upstream: "http://172.30.32.1:8123/", host: "domain.duckdns.org"

someone help with nginx proxy? it's redirecting to docker's internal ip

dense spruce
#

Have any of you set up duckdns/letsencrypt with your own domain name (maybe even with name.com)?

#

i have duckdns/letsencrypt working fine with the duckdns domain, but not with my own domain name. tried setting a TXT DNS entry on name.com (my domain provider) where the host is my subdomain, and the "answer" is what duckdns' logs returns when letsecntrypt fails the challenge

#

but i think that's not 100% right

#

it seems like is till need a cname

hybrid fiber
#

i figured out the issue. i was trying to setup smarthings integration which required me to have ssl domain. i set it up with certs in config yaml. but this stopped nginx from . i kept the base url enabled but rest disabled and now it works

dense spruce
#

but i can't do a cname and txt entry both with the same host *subdcomain.domain.tld"

dark yoke
#

ProTip: If you have your own domain, point it to cloudflare, (use the cloudflare integration to keep the IP up to date), and get a 15y free SSL certificate from cloudflare.

hybrid fiber
#

but the certs are working fine

#

now its working fine. i use base_url and nginx (have to use nginx as port forwarding 443 to 8123 doesnt work)

#

for some reason 443 to 443 works, so yeah

dense spruce
#

@dark yoke that is a fantastic protip!

#

checking it now

#

@dark yoke happen to have a referral link or anything you'd like to use?

dark yoke
#

Don't think they have that

#

I don't suppose anybody might have a few minutes to help me debug my appdaemon setup? I've built the docker image for my pi and attempted to provide it the right arguments, however it is not connecting to my HA instance, I've run it with debug and didn't seem to get too much useful error message back

dense spruce
#

@dark yoke thanks again for that info! so, a final up question, did you resolve your CNAME to your static ip? no real need for duckdns at that point (or letsencrypt).. did you remove the http entry for the generated certs/keys from your config?

#

thanks again for your help!

dark yoke
#

A record pointing to my IP

dense spruce
#

much thanks!

#

i know you're not support for cloudflare, so i understand if you don't want to answer this.. have you seen an issue where cloudflare doesn't like having a cname record created where the target is an ip?

#

DNS Validation Error (Code: 1004) Content for CNAME record is invalid

#

about to dig into their faq/support

dark yoke
#

That's not how you use CNAME

#

for IP, you use A records

dense spruce
#

ugh.. thank 😦

heady isle
#

hmm, having another look it might be an issue with the docker build process... anybody recently built appdaemon docker image on a rpi4?

Hello everyone. Is anyone using Samba add-on with MacOS? After last add-on update, I can no longer access my config files via Samba. It's OK from a Windows 10, just not from MacOS. Anyone has the same issue? Already uninstalled and installed add-on...

#

Thanks in advance for any help

heady isle
#

Ahh, further inspection has me realise the example config file is wrong and needs to include longitude / latitude etc. D'oh!

knotty egret
#

does anyone have VS Code running on odroid?

sly kindle
#

vscode on odroid n2 here

#

@knotty egret

knotty egret
#

I have an xu4, am I out of luck?

sly kindle
#

what does it say?

sly kindle
#

no arm7 support

knotty egret
#

n2 isn't arm?

sly kindle
#

oops

#

n2 is arm8

#

is xu4 arm7?

#

cortex a7 is arm7 looks like

#

which...makes sense looking at the name

#

heh

#

I have it, but using samba and a local install of vscode is my preference

Hi, if I rename lights in the deconz addon they won't fully show up renamed in home assistant. If I enter dev tools and search for the light the original name shows up. If I tap on it the new name shows up. I tried to clear browser cache did a couple of restarts and refreshed the deconz integrations. Someone experienced this? I have everything updated to the newest version, iam running HA in docker on Ubuntu lts 18.04

#

Thanks for the inv

sly kindle
#

@jaunty mantle sent an invite to the deconz discord which will probably have folks in the know

knotty egret
#

@sly kindle interesting, how does local install work? you mean installed on another computer but editing the remote HA?

sly kindle
#

smb service (samba addon) shares the default HA directories from your installation, then you just open those while on your local network

#

that's from windows

#

then I open whatever file with whatever I want. Usually vscode

knotty egret
#

ah ok that's cool

#

thanks

#

is HA on n2 stable? still listed as beta?

sly kindle
#

I've got it as a 2nd HA instance which is connected to a z-stick for zigbee/zwave device. It isn't doing much other than passing those to my main HA instance

#

For that purpose it is very stable. I have to remind myself that it exists

knotty egret
#

can I ask why you have that on a second instance instead of just using the first?

sly kindle
#

of course. The main instance is a VM in the basement and the range of the z-stick from down there to the second floor is no bueno

sick minnow
#

@knotty egret Odroid N2? I'm using it for ~5 months and it works great if you mean that :D

knotty egret
#

@sick minnow thanks.. I'm considering picking one up and using that instead of my old xu4, since I'm just getting started here

sick minnow
#

Well the XU4 is good too. I had Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi 3 before (it worked fine but it was pretty slow when I had to restart it).. The Odroid N2 really works a lot better

#

@sly kindle You're using a second instance to pass your devices to your first instance? Interesting, I didn't know that's possible

sly kindle
#

I'm using a custom component so not supported, but it works well. You can have any number of "client" HA pass their entities to a "host" HA

#

and those all appear in the main HA with a prefix of your choosing, so like binary_sensor.n2_door_sensor for example

#

where "n2" is the prefix

#

You could link together another remote instance on another network too, but that's not something I've tried. If my mother ever gets decent internet it may be something I'll do.

Does anyone know where the add-on files are stored on HassOS?
I have an add-on that I'd like to move to docker on a different system. I figured the easiest way to migrate would be to copy over the appdata but I don't know how to find the files.

restive lily
#

if using the mosquitto mqtt broker addon should I be able to send and receive messages using the mqtt developer tool?

sly kindle
#

@restive lily yes

restive lily
#

hmm.. If I'm subscribed to the same topic and send a message it doesn't do anything. I see connections in the mosquitto addon log

sly kindle
#

@restive lily what device is it?

#

or are you just testing a topic and listening

iron lichen
#

@restive lily @sly kindle I am seeing the same response out of mosquitto... in my case I am trying to communicate with EventGhost to startup/shutdown/disconnect outputs via MQTT. I am getting the successful connection in the log of the mosquitto add-on, however when trying to send the message with the developer tool, it doesn’t seem to go anywhere and the “listen to a topic” option never “starts listening”. Any thoughts on this as well? I am trying to see if there is another step to setting this up in the config file? Any advice on MQTT between HA and EG would be great since there’s not many resources out there for this...

sly kindle
#

@iron lichen you start listening to the topic first

#

then you publish, or turn the light on, etc

#

you can open up another tab for that or...

restive lily
#

@sly kindle that's what I'm doing. start listening. I saw the same thing where it doesn't start listening but I think I reloaded a few times and then it worked, in that it looked liked it connected, but it never showed anything

#

I've also tried just using the mosquitto-clients in a shell and they both look like they connect but no data every moves from one toe the other

#

I have other mosquitto servers setup where using this setup works so I'm not sure what it is.

Hi ALL, brand new to HA, got my synology running HASS.IO from a virtual machine. I can not seem to get samba shares to work. could use some suggestions as I am at a total loss as to why they are not working

#

problem is i dont know where the smb.config is located

#

the error i get after login to the shares is: "the specified network name is no longer available"

#

i also cannot access from a mac, so its not just a windows machine having this issue

wicked harbor
#

i ran netstat -an |find /i "listening" and 445 shows as listening so its not an issue with the windows pc then right?

#

ahh well hope you all have a good night.. damn samba wins another day

sly kindle
#

@wicked harbor connecting from windows?

weary stratus
#

smb service (samba addon) shares the default HA directories from your installation, then you just open those while on your local network
@sly kindle is the chance to change this dir ?

sly kindle
#

to what?

#

what are you running on?

weary stratus
#

ubuntu/docker

#

change for example to not share ssl dir and addons dir, create new for exampe media dir and this share

sly kindle
#

You can't change those. But you could uninstall it and install samba server on ubuntu

weary stratus
#

as I wrote earlier, I tried to edit config.json / options.json and restart hassiom without success, I found generally 4 or 5 smb.cfg files on my ubuntu, one under /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant and other in docker containers

#

ok, if not, thank you for your help !:)

Hi all,
I'm currently setting upp hass.io on a VM running docker and I have a question regarding the AdGuard add-on. In the instruction it tells me to set a static IP and external DNS server but I can't figure out where to set this configuration. Does anyone know where the file is located? The documentation seems to be using hassos but I'm running ubuntu.
Thanks!

knotty urchin
#

I think I was just confused, I just got it set-up and it's working perfectly fine. Of course documentation meant the host itself.

#

16.04 ubuntu ? hello blast from the past @weary stratus 🤣 probably not related to your issue though

#

but its a 4 year old release

Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS

#

This is the only one that could work because 32bit

#

My problem: i can't install deCONZ on my supervisor
"This add-on is not available on your system."
my Hassio run on a eepc 32bit Intel Atom N270 - 1,60Ghz Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS

#

can i solve ?

#

does anyone know how to use the influxdb + grafana addons? in particular does anyone know what may have changed in the last... n months (where n is something between 12 - 4) that would make it APPEAR as if things are configured correctly when they actually aren't?

#

because it seems like influxdb is configued correctly.. and it seems like grafana is linking to it... but it's like there's no data in the database.. of any sort.. and there should be even if from before.. I mean why is it so many gigabytes large if it's empty?

#

can't seem to figure out where the link has broken

Using the SSH & Web Terminal Add-on. date command is off by 4 hours. System is setup with the proper timezone (America/New_York). What do I need to do to get the correct time-zone?

#

'''config $ date
Thu Apr 16 14:43:50 UTC 2020
'''

zealous prism
#

I tried searching but did not find my answer. Why is the VS Code editor unavailable for me?

sly kindle
#

@zealous prism it is available for amd64 and arm8 and arch64

#

@young oxide UTC time in NY is -4 hours offset

#

system time is in UTC

#

So as long as it is correct for where you are, it's fine

young oxide
#

@sly kindle the time that is printed out as a result of the date cmn - is 4 hours ahead of my actual time

sly kindle
#

what does you HA log say? dev tools > logs

young oxide
#

log timestamps look good

sly kindle
#

then you should be fine

wicked harbor
#

@wicked harbor connecting from windows?
@sly kindle yes windows but also mac osx

sly kindle
#

from a windows machine you just want to enter the ip address of your ha instance in the file explorer address bar like \\192.168.1.57

#

don't go browsing for it in the network panel

wicked harbor
#

yes ive done that it does not work

#

ive tried to map it usually that will work it actually pops up with a login but then i put in the info and it says this resource is no longer available. same on OSX

#

when i try what you said it just says diagnose connection problem. when i try \hassio i get this specific network device is no longer available

#

when i mess with the password it seems to make it show up or disappear sometimes. not sure why that is

sly kindle
#

@wicked harbor got on a phone call...

wicked harbor
#

np.. here is the relevant error from the log... check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [Madhits] -> [Madhits] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER, authoritative=1

#

maybe i need to set the same password as i do on hass.io it self

#

thats not it.. cuz now i see this in the log. check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [madhits] -> [madhits] -> [madhits] succeeded

#

just tried the mac osx, same results "there was a problem connecting."

#

after login

sly kindle
#

@wicked harbor what I do is set the user as my windows user, but it can be anything you want

#

in windows you can check if there are existing credentials with the credential manager

#

for that connection

#

you can add a new one if it isn't already present and set the user/pass to match what you have set in samba config

wicked harbor
#

well i changed the user to match hass.io but it made no difference except it allowed the login but then it simply says connection lost (windows) or there was a problem (OSX)

#

this is not a problem with windows. i did check the credential manager last night

sly kindle
#

🤷‍♂️

wicked harbor
#

its something with the samba share itself

#

its like this

sly kindle
#

all those you see in my screneshot are samba, multiple HA instances or others

wicked harbor
#

hmm ill try adding it

#

but does not explain osx failing alos

#

also

#

i even checked my router for open 445 port and its good

sly kindle
#

what are you running on?

wicked harbor
#

home assistant?

sly kindle
#

but the install details

#

flashed the image?

wicked harbor
#

its a synology box with hass.io running as a VM through virtual machine manager

sly kindle
#

or raspbian, ubuntu, debian

#

ahh

#

using the vmdk ?

#

what is the OS of the VM

wicked harbor
#

yes vmdk

#

os is synology is that what you mean

#

its a NAS

#

its got its own IP seperate from the synology

sly kindle
#

when you go to supervisor > system it is HassOS

wicked harbor
#

i added the credintials to the cred manager in windows.. same results

sly kindle
#

that you see in the host system card

wicked harbor
#

let me look

#

HassOS 3.12

#

yes i found it

sly kindle
#

ok so...maybe the NAS is somehow in the way?

wicked harbor
#

i was thinking that

#

how can i deal with that

sly kindle
#

it has its own ip...so that should be fine, but maybe there's something else

wicked harbor
#

i do have samba working on the nas

#

and it works

#

yes now i think we are onto something

#

ive tried everything else

#

maybe the logins need to match the nas?

#

for it to go through

#

that would kinda make sense

sly kindle
#

but you got the authentication for user [madhits] -> [madhits] -> [madhits] succeeded

#

😕

wicked harbor
#

yes true and they already match i just checked

#

if osx could get in it would be a windows problem but osx has a simular failure after logging in.. so strange

#

here is my samba config.. i know its a lil weird. i was trying a lot of things but ive gone back to defaults a million times and its the same.

dense spadeBOT
wicked harbor
#

ive tried ssl true and false.. no difference

sly kindle
#

you don't need to change the allow hosts

#

set everything back to default

wicked harbor
#

i know but the samba share keeps going to 172 ip and i have no 172

#

it sorta works this way but honestly i just want 192.168.25 subnet

sly kindle
#

those are internal ip adresses

#

you don't connect to those

wicked harbor
#

well i can go back to default but it changes nothing

#

ohh

sly kindle
#

the default hosts cover your needs

wicked harbor
#

even 192.168.25.x

sly kindle
#

yes

limber cedar
#

How can I enable a addon-that i disabled it from terminal view

wicked harbor
#

ok

limber cedar
#

I cant reach my IP:8123 anymore

wicked harbor
#

id just uninstall reinstall

sly kindle
#
  • 192.168.0.0/16 covers all that
wicked harbor
#

ok

sly kindle
#
  - 10.0.0.0/8
  - 172.16.0.0/12
  - 192.168.0.0/16```
#

and those map: options aren't needed

#
  config: 'true,'
  addons: 'true,'
  ssl: 'false,'
  share: 'true,'
  backup: true```
#

get rid of that...and some have commas for some reason

#

so that config is all a big mess 😄

wicked harbor
#

yeah i just went back to defaults see if it fixes anything

sly kindle
#

all you need to do for the majority of users is add a user/pass and start it

wicked harbor
#

yeah i copied from some other topics cuz i was trying to fix the issue.. i figured the shares were not mapped

#

ok after resetting.. i am getting a login under the IP but not under \hassio like before.. but i dont have the password because the user is hass.io check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [hass.io] -> [hass.io] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER, authoritative=1

#

that is not a user i setup

#

weird

#

wait its under credential mgmt

#

fixing

sly kindle
#

to get to "zero" where it prompts you for user/pass you can just remove all existing credential entries for that ip

wicked harbor
#

yeah i just did that

#

now i cant get back to the login lol

#

got it but login failed the specific network name is no longer available as usual

#

check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [madhits] -> [madhits] -> [madhits] succeeded

#

it did work but cant see the drives

#

or it disappears after login

#

i'm going to add this back to config.. "guest": false,

#

interesting adding guest: false seems to have killed the login.. i cant even open it now.. ive restarted samba also

#

i'll make guest:true

#

yeah windows really hates guest:true.. makes all the samba shares go away

#

3.13 came out.. updating maybe it will magically fix it.. lol

Is it possible to turn on the relay of a sonoff basic as soon as voltage is high, without input from HA?

#

Hi there, I've an annoying problem with the Visual Studio Code addon since it always gives an error message that it has an unsecure connection to my code server. Apparently this is because im using the NGINX addon to have my HA avaliable via http on my local network and https from outside (duckDNS). Is there any way to get rid of this errormessage?

pure minnow
#

hey attempting to connect via ssh with key getting below error in logs

#

Connection closed by authenticating user root 172.30.32.1 port 58092 [preauth]

wicked harbor
#

i did not do that.. so that maybe why it never lets me connect

#

doing that now

sly kindle
#

that's just setting up cifs/samba on a vm

#

you can't do that in haOS and the add-on does that anyway

#

I didn't finish the whole video so I may be wrong

wicked harbor
#

hmmm

#

well i cant seem to login to the terminal but isnt this the same as using SSH on windows? or no

#

well under putty i dont have apt so it wont work there but the terminal login is different, i cant figure out why i cant get in.. must be a higher level login or something

wicked harbor
#

Does hassos include a package manager?

#

maybe its an addon itself

#

ok i keep getting hass.io mixed up its a container that is not running a full linux underneath. so is there a way to add apt-get a different way

wicked harbor
#

i gave up and went to FTP. at least I can see the folders but what about seeing the lovelace configs

sly kindle
#

you can take control of Lovelace in the upper right corner 3 dots and get a little of both UI editing and file editing, or go to full yaml mode with lovelace

#

until you do that there are no lovelace config files

wicked harbor
#

@sly kindle yep i finally figured out how to reset it.. simply delete everything in raw editor and reload.. bam

#

Hi all, ok there is no way around it. i need smb to work. and it wont allow me to connect under hassio. I believe this is because I am running hassio as a virtual machine. Is there any possibility my theory on that is correct?

sly kindle
#

I've been running it as a VM of one kind or another for a couple years

#

no problem with samba

wicked harbor
#

and you never had issues with SMB?

sly kindle
#

nope

wicked harbor
#

hmmm can u explain your setup/

#

?

#

is it docker?

sly kindle
#

This is always docker

#

Addons are docker containers, so they don't exist without docker

wicked harbor
#

im not using docker.. im using synology virtual machine manager

sly kindle
#

Yes but the virtual machine you are running IS using docker

wicked harbor
#

i think this is the issue

sly kindle
#

It comes with it

wicked harbor
#

what?

sly kindle
#

"You're soaking in it"

#

to quote an ancient commercial

wicked harbor
#

im running a VMDK file inside synology vmm

#

lol

sly kindle
#

The vmdk is the base of your vm

wicked harbor
#

yes

sly kindle
#

it is an image of what you would otherwise flash to an SD card

wicked harbor
#

yes

sly kindle
#

But instead you are running it as a virtual machine

wicked harbor
#

im with u

sly kindle
#

That "computer" has an OS and that OS has docker installed

wicked harbor
#

ok how does docker come in

sly kindle
#

That's how all of this works

wicked harbor
#

no

sly kindle
#

yes

wicked harbor
#

i could have installed docket but instead i used synology virtual machine manager.. look here

sly kindle
#

you should have some terminal you can use to access your VM

#

a console

#

I don't know synology but I'm betting they provide this

wicked harbor
#

yes i do

#

thats how i installed

Option 3 uses the Synology Based Virtual Machine Manager. You can import the VDI image to be found at the Home Assistant installation page. Download the image and add it to the image store. The go to “Virtual Machine” in the interface and create a new VM with the image you just added.

The main benefit from this method is that you can assign Home Assistant its own IP number, so there is no risk regarding TCP/UDP port conflicts. USB dongles an be connected to the VM without the need to install a driver in DSM.

#

thats how and why i did it.. docker has limitations

sly kindle
#

No. Synology has it's own docker system

wicked harbor
#

ok

sly kindle
#

You are confusing the two

wicked harbor
#

maybe they just renamed it

#

lol

#

why can i install docker inside synology

sly kindle
#

This is what you are running

wicked harbor
#

its a virtual machine manager

sly kindle
#

That is your VM

#

it is an OS (at the bottom) with docker

#

Everything in the big blue box above runs as docker containers

wicked harbor
#

yeah i basically understand how it works

sly kindle
#

If you want to see it for yourself, open a console to your VM, use "root" to login and then you'll be at the HA custom command line

#

Use "login" from there and you'll be at the host console. From there you can use docker ps and you'll see your containers

wicked harbor
#

yeah i know the terminal your refering to but i cant seem to login.. is this a different login then ssh?

sly kindle
#

do you see a running log?

#

yes it is not the same

wicked harbor
#

yes

sly kindle
#

you hit enter

#

and it should ask you to login

wicked harbor
#

hmmm ive tried my ssh login and it wont work. weird

sly kindle
#

it is not ssh

wicked harbor
#

i know but its the same login?

#

i mean..

sly kindle
#

no, it is "root" as the user

#

no password

wicked harbor
#

same login credentials

#

ohhh damn

#

ok let me try this

#

so wait is this higher level terminal allow me to use apt-get?

#

i got in

sly kindle
#

no

#

think of this like the firmware for your phone. you aren't going to be apt-getting anything

wicked harbor
#

unknown command docker ps

#

lol ok

sly kindle
#

where are you

wicked harbor
#

ive logged in

#

what other commands can i use to id the system?

sly kindle
#

and you see the Home Assistant ascii art?

wicked harbor
#

yes

sly kindle
#

ok now type "login" like it says

#

and hit enter

#

and you will be at a # prompt

#

use docker ps there

wicked harbor
#

ok its in

#

wow yeah of course your right all the addon are a different container.. weird that i cant see that inside the virtual machine manager.. i guess its part of a sub system made up inside the VM image right?

#

so the fix i sent you earlier where the guy had issues with samba because he was missing parts to make it work.. could that apply to me?

sly kindle
#

no

#

that was just a video about installing samba on a machine running ubuntu or whatever

#

it just happens to also be a virtual machine

wicked harbor
#

gotcha

#

hmm so what on earth is making samba not work for me?

sly kindle
#

no idea. while you're at the # prompt, enter nmcli

#

confirm the ip address

#

it should show as the green connection at the top

wicked harbor
#

yes enp0s3

#

its connected

cold sparrow
#

Hello HA friends.. trying to renew my cert with LetsEncrypt ... it's never easy for me for some reason.... this time when I hit the start button it turns red .. I have some errors i'm not understanding... any chance someone in this chat could help

sly kindle
#

whenever that turns red, check the system tab logs

#

you have port 80 in use

cold sparrow
#

Yes I can try to post the error from the system log... what do I wrap it in again?

sly kindle
#

are you using emulated hue?

cold sparrow
#

not using emulated hue... I set up my router to forward port 80 to the hassio device during this process

wicked harbor
#

you mean the lightbulbs?

#

no

sly kindle
#

it's ok you shared the log I was referring to in your link. It is showing that 80 is used. LE authenticates using port 80

#

@cold sparrow something else on your machine is using 80

#

gotta find it

#

maybe another addon...emulated hue was a possibility

cold sparrow
#

I understand now...

#

so if i just go to that IP on 80 it should tell me

wicked harbor
#

what does 'fe80::/10'? do i see fe80::/64 should i switch that 10 to 64?

sly kindle
#

no

wicked harbor
#

damn im out of ideas..

sly kindle
#

do you have teamviewer?

#

I could take a look

wicked harbor
#

yeah let me check if its on this machien

#

is there any difference between a VDI image and a VMDK?

#

i used a VMDK it was recommended but I also saw a VDI

#

i dont know if thats related to this issue but maybe

sly kindle
#

it's not related

wicked harbor
#

ok

Good Afternoon Everyone, I've been banging my head against the wall for most of the day now trying to get my Mosquitto integration working. So I'm using the Home Assistant Add On for Mosquitto, and it appears to be working. In order to see any published messages I had to use the "MQTT" Integration through the "+" button on the bottom right of the integration page. With this done I am now able to see published messages through the Developer Tools. My current problem is that I am unable to get any informaiton that I publish added as an entity to HA. Is there something that I'm doing wrong? I've tried both adding sensors to the config file as well as sending the Motion Detection discovery topics, however, in both cases HA does not appear to have seen anything. I'm happy to copy any of my current configs and send if someone is in a position to help, and I'd really appreciate any assistance anyone can give. FYSA I'm currently using MQTTBox to generate and publish MQTT messages.

#

anyone running hacks?

#

hacs*

#

their installation documentation says put it in /config/custom_components

#

it says thats proper location for docker container

#

but my configuration.yaml is here:

#

root@unraid:/mnt/user/appdata/HomeAssistantCore#

restive lily
#

Is anyone able to help me debug mosquitto as my mqtt broker? I’m trying something as simple as having two browser windows open, one subcribes to topic test and one publishing data to test. The subscribed browser doesn’t see anything.

wicked harbor
#

HI ALL, I installed hacs.. how do I know its well installed?

#

ive got it inside the custom_componets folder.. but what changes in the UI? is it supposed to be listed under addons now?

#

as a follow up what is the HACS (Home Assistant Community Store) under integrations?

#

is that another way to install hacs? it appears it maybe something else because i cant install it unless i add my github token

wicked harbor
#

yeah the install for hacs has to involve more then just coping a folder to custom componets.

#

but i cant find better details on the install

sly kindle
#

like, every step is there

#

every detail you need

wicked harbor
#

i got it..

#

prob just moving to fast.. i assumed the copying part was it.. lol

chrome vault
#

does anyone know of a relatively easy way to figure out where/what is growing in size when I take snapshots of the system? I assume it's the recorder and/or influxdb but I don't know how to figure out how big they are or how to work out exactly how that's distributed

lusty bloom
#

Alright, so after another few hours of troubleshooting, I was finally able to get the system to work, and found my problem, however, to be honest I don't quite understand why it didn't work. Here is what prevented it from working:

#

sensor:

  • platform: mqtt
    name: "Temperature"
    state_topic: "office/sensor1"
    unit_of_measurement: '°C'
    value_template: "{{ value_json.temperature }}"
    qos: 0
  • platform: mqtt
    name: "Humidity"
    state_topic: "office/sensor1"
    unit_of_measurement: '%'
    value_template: "{{ value_json.humidity }}"
#

sensor:

  • platform: badnest
dark yoke
#

You can't have duplicate sensor

lusty bloom
#

so I changed the name of the first call to sensor 2: and it worked

lusty bloom
#

if you put a label after sensor, is that used as a pointer or referrer else where?

dark yoke
#

nope

lusty bloom
#

my assumption was that sensor simply referred to an over arching class, so it seems strange to me that you can refer to something as sensor: while other have sensor <name>:

#

is there a benefit to providing a name to each sensor entry?

dark yoke
#

no

lusty bloom
#

sorry, no as in no benefit? Just trying to wrap my head around how I should be writing my config file

#

thanks for the help btw

dark yoke
#

no benefit

#

Look at the link

#

and:

dense spadeBOT
#

Always run the configuration check command when you make changes. Don't trust the UI check - it misses some problems.

lusty bloom
#

thanks man, already read first link and will give this one a read

#

I'm just glad I was able to get the damned thing working finally... I don't really want to admit how long this one took me to troubleshoot

dark yoke
#

we have all been there

Hi guys. I can't start my dnsmasq addon. Start buttun going to Red and not starting.

@grim silo When an addon start button goes red, or doesn't install, check the logs on the system tab

You should see a reason there.

Hi guys,
I‘m trying to use wallpanel on my Android 9 Tablet with mqtt to Senf the battery status.
I installed mosquitto Add-On an configured it as read in the description.
In Home Assistant I can connect to the mqtt broker. But from my Tablet (Wallpanel) or my iPhone i can‘t get connected.
I have no idea anymore. Are there any experiences with the mqtt connection to mosquitto from other devices in your home?

#

I disabled Port 1883 as written in the description.

sly kindle
#

you only disable it if you need to

#

(if you are forcing ssl)

#

@serene ruin what are your client settings set as?

serene ruin
#

Client Settings are only:
The Mosquitto IP-Adress
The Port: 8883
Username and Passwort

bright cipher
sly kindle
#

@serene ruin the mosquitto ip address is your HA ip address?

serene ruin
#

Yes.

sly kindle
#

have you tried port 1883 instead?

serene ruin
#

I will activate 1883 and will give it a try.
Mom.

sly kindle
#

ok son.

serene ruin
#

German slang 😉

sly kindle
#

😛

serene ruin
#

This is my server config.

sly kindle
#

you can delete the logins: and enter an HA user/pass for credentials on your client device instead

#

Feeling a bit stupid here. I spend a few hours figuring out how to flash a Sonoff Mini OTA with a Tasmota firmware and I did it. I then installed TasmoAdmin and got it working. I can turn the light on/off via the webui. Now I'm stuck with what I assumed would be the easy part. How do I add the light into HA? I assumed it'd just turn up as a device.

serene ruin
#

@sly kindle works with 1883. I dont understand hey

sly kindle
#

@left flame mqtt

#

@serene ruin unless you're on a public network, I would just leave it.

serene ruin
#

👍🏼 Thanks

left flame
#

@sly kindle Ah, OK! Thanks.

bright cipher
#

@left flame Does that device support Setoption19

#

@left flame if so, go into your console on the Sonoff and enter Setoption19 1

left flame
#

@bright cipher I have no idea.

bright cipher
#

Try it maybe?

#

See if it accepts the command

sly kindle
left flame
#

It's a Sonoff Mini flashed with tasmota-lite

#

Setoption19 1

#

Exactly like that?

bright cipher
#

Have a look at that

sly kindle
#

That enables discovery for the device, assuming you have also enabled discovery on the mqtt broker integration

bright cipher
#

@sly kindle Can you help me with finding the DHCP server addon?

#

I'm on 0.103.0

left flame
#

Command send successfull!
ID 1 (SidePatioLight) => {"SetOption19":"ON"}

sly kindle
#

@bright cipher there's nothing to find, really. It is just there

#

Do you not have the Official add-ons showing?

bright cipher
#

Hmm.

sly kindle
#

If you only see the community addons, then you may have an issue

#

a connection issue

bright cipher
#

Can't post image here

sly kindle
#

@left flame do you have the mosquitto addon configured?

bright cipher
#

But I see the official addons

#

And the community ones

#

But DHCP is not there

sly kindle
#

you can post a link to imgur

left flame
#

@sly kindle No, I removed it. I'll add it. Do I need the integration too or is the MQTT broker add-on all I'll need?

sly kindle
#

the addon is an mqtt broker/server. Once you get it running HA will see it and offer to configure it as an integration. At that point, you'll see the discovery check box

#

You just install the addon and start it. You don't need to configure anything

left flame
#

Got to go start the BBQ. Thanks for the help so far. I feel like I got my big boy pants on managing to flash the Sonoff 😉

#

@sly kindle Cheers, thanks again!

sly kindle
#

ha. flashing something with tasmota the 1st time is satisfying

#

@left flame if you need help configuring the tasmota mqtt end just ask

craggy atlas
#

Can anyone explain to me on the benefits of AdGuard vs Pi-Hole. I currently have Pi-hole running on a Raspi-v4 and noticed that HA has a deprecated Pi-hole but a up to date Adguard. As I'd like to simplify my workstations, i want to know why adguard vs pihole

sly kindle
#

They do the same thing, but there is an adguard integration for HA which is better

#

But they both act as dns servers on your network which filter out ads

#

You add more blocklists, going as strict or as loose as you like

#

PiHole became a frustration to maintain, as far as the addon goes

craggy atlas
#

ok

sly kindle
#

But you can still use it, and there's an integration for it. It's just not as good

#

I mean, you can use it elsewhere on your network

#

You would not want to use the addon at this point, because it won't see updates

#

The integration for adguard gives you switches for the various adguard settings, so you can automate these like anything else, or use them with voice assistants. "hey google turn off adguard filtering" for example

craggy atlas
#

Ok, I was trying to figure out if the pi-hole is better, equal, or worse then adguard. if pi-hole is better then i'll just keep running my rasp. if it's the same or worse then i'll switch

#

oh

sly kindle
#

Yeah, you just add the adguard integration, and boom, you have all these entities to graph or automate or whatever.

#

My card is rather boring

craggy atlas
#

<--- make boring stuff cause he isn't versed enough in HA to make non-boring

sly kindle
#

I mostly just use it as an example when people ask this question 😆

craggy atlas
#

wait you mean my question wasn't original?? lol

sly kindle
#

@craggy atlas you can install it and check it out without actually implementing it, so there's no risk there

#

check the settings available, the filters, query log etc

#

I used to use the addon, but it now runs elsewhere.

craggy atlas
#

Yeah looking at it now

left flame
#

@sly kindle do I need the MQTT Mosquito Broker I need or the MQTT integration?

sly kindle
#

both

left flame
#

English fail, it's my first language, I swear.

#

It said I could only install one.

sly kindle
#

Your devices talk to the broker. Your broker talks to HA when you add the integration

#

wait...

#

I think you are looking at the two addons

#

addons and integrations are not the same thing

#

you want that addon

#

and that integration

left flame
#

Got that one

sly kindle
#

You don't add any configuration.yaml

left flame
#

Checking...

#

Ok, got both!

#

No devices found with the integration.

sly kindle
#

So now on your sonoff config page, configure mqtt

left flame
#

In TasmoAdmin?

sly kindle
#

no on the device admin page

#

for that device

#

I usually make the topic the same as the client, but that's up to you

#

I don't like seeing a lot of "DVES_XXXXX" entities in HA

#

you can also use your HA's ip address instead of homeassistant.local

left flame
#

Ok, understood. Cheers!

#

That was the step I didn't see!

sly kindle
#

did the device show up?

left flame
#

I've got to eat dinner with the fan. Amazed I didn't burn everything in the grill multi-tasking ;)

#

Fam

sly kindle
#

I'm actually going to start a marinade for a pork shoulder in just a couple minutes

bright cipher
#

OK, I'm really confused.

#

I've now updated my version of Homeassistant from 0.103.0 to the latest version

sly kindle
#

ok

#

what happened?

bright cipher
#

Loads of official addons are still missing!

#

I'll upload a screenshot

#

So I'm missing DHCP server, which I want

sly kindle
#

oh... 🤦

bright cipher
#

But missing DNSmasq, loads more

#

No idea

sly kindle
#

I know what it is

bright cipher
#

🙂

sly kindle
#

these are addons which can screw up your network

#

you need to turn on advanced mode for your user

bright cipher
#

whaaa

sly kindle
#

that's a new thing I forgot about, and I've always had advanced mode on forever

bright cipher
#

lol

#

Where is it?

sly kindle
#

go to your user avatar in the bottom left

#

same place you set the theme for your user

bright cipher
#

Yep, got it. Now for some reason that page isn't loading...

sly kindle
#

toggle advanced mode on

bright cipher
#

I'll just fix an error in my config and reboot

wicked harbor
#

how can i disable iptables on hassio in a virtual machine container? is it even running?

#

this is related to samba addon

#

does it use iptables?

#

is there a firewall running on HA that could be blocking samba?

#

according this this thread there is something blocking ports. it seems this guy installed a firewall also but its still blocking some

#

?

left flame
#

If I have this in the log for the MQTT Add-on can I safely say my Sonoff/Tasmota Mini is connected with the MQTT Broker?

#

1587154540: New client connected from 192.168.188.53 as DVES_4C6EDF (p2, c1, k30, u'mqttuser').

sly kindle
#

yes

left flame
#

That IP is my Mini

sly kindle
#

they are communicating

left flame
#

Good. Step in thr right direction. Still can't get it to auto discover

sly kindle
#

when you added the integration, did you check the box for discovery?

left flame
#

Yes

sly kindle
#

you could try deleting the integration and then restarting HA and then adding it again

left flame
#

OK, easy enough to try

sly kindle
#

and I've noticed that sometimes my tasmota devices need a full restart

#

when I make a change

left flame
#

In the Tasmota config I just need my HA IP address for the host and my mqtt user/pw I setup in the config for the MQTT Add-on correct?

sly kindle
#

yes, but I don't use the legacy "logins:"

#

I use an existing HA user (myself)

left flame
#

In one video on the Sonoff mini is said it communicated via a different port, 8081. The default in the config for Tasmota is 1883

sly kindle
#

that's for the web ui I assume

#

mqtt is typically 1883

left flame
#

Could be

#

Still not discovering in the MQTT integration

#

Do I need to send the SetOption19 1 command again?

left flame
#

If it's connecting to the MQTT Broker, it can only be a config issue with the Sonoff correct?

#

Maybe it's the user config too.

#

LEt me see if I need to creat an access control list

empty garden
#

which tasmota binary are you using?

left flame
#

lite

left flame
#

Off to bed for me. I'll deal with this invisible Sonoff Mini tomorrow 🙂

empty garden
#

lite doesn't have autodiscovery support

left flame
#

Thanks again for all the help. It is always much appreciated.

#

@empty garden Ha, crap! 😄

#

No I need to manually add it in the config.yaml?

#

"So I need to..."

empty garden
#

did you read the instructions?

left flame
#

I was going to say yes, then I saw your link. I did not see that page.

#

LEt me get reading it.

empty garden
#

then you read the wrong instructions

left flame
#

I was focused on the add-in instructions and the flashing/etc. Thanks for the point. I'll dig into it.

empty garden
#

when all else fails read the instructions 😄

left flame
#

It's a bit of can't see the forest for the trees for us noobs.

#

@empty garden will the normal bin fit on the Mini?

empty garden
#

the name mini refers only to its physical size

#

what gave you the impresion it won't fit?

left flame
#

Somewhere I saw it needed the basic and I somehow got the impression that the basic bin was replaced with the lite bin.

empty garden
#

that somewhere is outdated and also incorrect

left flame
#

So, an easier option would be just to reflash it with the normal bin

empty garden
#

you already flashed it, there's no need to reflash

left flame
#

Sorry, upload it via the webui

empty garden
#

or simply run the ota update

left flame
#

Yes, just found that

#

IT WORKS!

#

Man, that one crap assumption of mine really screwed me up for a few hours! 🤦‍♂️ 😄

#

@empty garden Cheers, much appreciated.

Why I cant login through SSH from my win10 (putty) to hassio?

#

Im using my ip and port22, and I can to access to my terminal via browser and ssh addon in HA

sly kindle
#

@sudden tartan did you add port 22 in the addon config network options?

jolly niche
#

Anybody know how HASS handles configuration that is defined in both YAML and the UI? Does it merge the two sources? Is this handled by some central HASS config logic or does each addon / integration handle it separately? Specifically, I'm curious about BWAlarm

sly kindle
#

@jolly niche Addons and integrations are different things. BWAlarm is a custom, unsupported integration. So you probably want #integrations-archived

sudden tartan
#

@sly kindle now it shows console, but it prompts me for username..I tried with hassio and the password that I added into my config, but it doesnt pass

#

oh, I found it..its root username

#

Hi, GM!

#

currently dealing with Samba add-on

#

is there a way to share a folder with the rest of the folders inside? (backup, config, etc.)

sudden tartan
#

@unique cape by default, Samba add-on shares all these folders. Did you check that your computer is in same group that you defined in Samba configuration?

unique cape
#

Yes, I can see the shares and access them, but I'm trying to organize folders in such a way they are sub-folders of "HA" for instance

#

that way I would have for instance <host>/HA/config, <host>/HA/backup

#

I'm planning on using the same host for media sharing as well

#

so the idea is to have something like <host>/HA (only accesible by me) and <host>/Share (for the whole family)

sudden tartan
#

do you run on hassio (raspberry pi) or nuc/nas?

unique cape
#

I'm running HA as a docker container on a laptop

sudden tartan
#

sorry, Im running on Pi, I dont have a clue how to setup

unique cape

no worries, thanks anyway! 👍

Hi all - have Home Assistant installed on a RPi and installed Samba addon, all working fine - just struggling to work out how to access through a Windows PC via the network. Tried adding a network location / mapping shared drive to \192.168.1.10\ but doesn't work. Can anyone give pointers?

@tardy charm beginning of share is two \ not one. Also can we see your samba config? remove usernames/passwords

Does anyone know of a plugin or something that would allow YT music to be sent to minis/chromecasts in an orderly fashion? Does OMV or something like it do that?

#

What version are you on

#

@keen drum

#

@solemn kindle what do you mean by manage the docker instance, like the host instance for HA, or the addon ones?

#

AFAIK you can just SSH into your HA and do all docker-y commands there

#

Can you take a picture of the store or tell which addons you do see?

solemn kindle
#

@lethal root thanks. Maybe can create another container to test, and in futur use swarm, because I have another pi ... do you know if it’s possible ?

lethal root
#

I can't say I have much experience with that, so no idea 🙂

solemn kindle
#

Ok thanks, maybe if portainer can manager the docker instance, i suppose i can run another container... I must try.

tardy charm
#

@inner hare sorry, yes have used double \ in testing - of course, config is here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/J9nQPNpSPh/ I've seen some people on forums talking about setting hosts to accept all which seemed to help, but not sure of the config approach - assume a . style command somewhere??

lethal root
#

uh

#

The /254 at the end

#

That's messing you up

#

You are basically allowing no access from local networks except 10.0.0.0/8

#

What's your IP range for home network @tardy charm ?

sly kindle
#

@keen drum that's an add-on the can screw up your network. to see these you need to enabled advanced mode for your user

#

@tardy charm don't change allow hosts

#

it is already set to cover the majority of home networks

lethal root
#

Um

#

Are we talking about the same /254 here?

#

Or is that already changed from default

sly kindle
#

that isn't the default

lethal root
#

Oh good

sly kindle
#

and makes no sense

#

lol

lethal root
#

I was thinking the defaults were crazy for a sec

#

@weary stratus the higher the number at the end the less hosts are allowed

#

Also you max out at 32 😛

tardy charm
#

Ah - sorry, that's me being daft so what does the statement mean, I thought it was a range!

#

ie include 0 to 254

lethal root
#

No it's a hostmask

#

If you want 0 to 254 you use /24

tardy charm
#

mindblown ok, mind explaining to a numpty?? How does 24 = full range?

lethal root
#

That's because 0 is full range

#

Basically the /24 frees up 1 to 254 of the last block, so 192.168.0.X

#

24 is the amount of bits

tardy charm
#

Ah it's bits - gotcha, thought it was last digit of ip addresses

lethal root
#

0-255 = 8 bits

#

So three blocks of 8 bits = 24

tardy charm
#

Cool - ok, so now reading

#

allow_hosts:

  • 10.0.0.0/8
  • 172.16.0.0/24
  • 192.168.1.0/24
#

This look more sensible?

lethal root
#

This is assuming your home IPs are 1.x and not 0.x

#

Are they?

tardy charm
#

Yes they are - I'm accessing from Win 10 PC via ethernet to Hassio on RPi

lethal root
#

If you're not sure put /20 or even /16 to cover the entire 192.168 range

tardy charm
#

Should drives pop up once restart of samba plugin complete or do I need to restart PC, Rpi etc?

lethal root
#

Best restart the plugin

tardy charm
#

Cool - will add /16 then just to be idiot proof... 😉 Definitely on 192.168.1 range though

lethal root
#

It'll cover any devices with crazy defaults as well

tardy charm
#

Yeah exactly - great link - ta!

#

Ok, restarted

#

#

tardy charm
#

uber-pc is my desktop (I upgraded to 128gb ram, hence name... 😉 )

sly kindle
#

don't browse for it in the network folder

tardy charm

lethal root
#

Right right

#

Wish SSL and google tts worked better so I wouldn't have to resort to these shenanigans though

wicked harbor
#

I believe it has something to do with the shared IP between the NAS and the Hass.io install. In one case (docker) the IP is shared and in the other synology VMM its not shared. I thought this was an advantage at first but maybe not. Its clearly an issue with VMM as no matter what samba cant be used inside VMM.

#

Love to hear some input from you guys. Maybe the samba addon is expecting things a certain way and VMM just does it differently enough to break the samba shares

sly kindle
#

@wicked harbor it has to have something to do with synology's virtualization. You might ask OP of the thread you linked instead

#

fredrike is also in here on occasion

wicked harbor
#

yeah i asked fredrike

#

its very weird

#

so who wrote that?

#

The main benefit from this method is that you can assign Home Assistant its own IP number, so there is no risk regarding TCP/UDP port conflicts. USB dongles an be connected to the VM without the need to install a driver in DSM.

sly kindle
#

that's what you used?

wicked harbor
#

thats what they say and it makes sense. the ip is shared when using docker

#

yeah

sly kindle
#

oh wait, that points to the correct images

#

I thought that was core only

wicked harbor
#

i think that needs to be updated

#

or a waring put on there that addons like samba may not work

#

i wish i could talk to another person that used VMM and was also using samba to know for sure

#

but i do know the samba problem had to be in the virtualization because both OSX and WIndows had the same problem. so its not a windows issue or OSX

#

anyway im switching to docker i guess. just wonder what issues ill face going that way now

lapis radish
#

@sly kindle I did try that

#

my log says become_local_master_browser: Error - cannot find server HOMEASSISTANTLINUXINSTALL in workgroup WORKGROUP on subnet 192.168.86.39

wicked harbor
#

eurika.. its a hostname issue with SAMBA.. I was able to break the docker samba the same way by adding a hostname to the samba addon.

#

now i cant seem to fix it

#

but the issue is tied to hostname somehow

lapis radish
#

I think my issue is hostname as well, thats what the errors seem to say

wicked harbor
#

yeah look at this.. I have 2 installs of hassio running.. its seems 1 is trying to break the other.. process_reset_browser: received diagnostic browser reset request from HASSOS<00> IP 192.168.25.12 state=0x2

#

i have name named different things but it seems the broken 1 is resetting the working 1

#

another note.. docker images running hassio get no hostname once you start them up because they share an ip and i guess it causes a conflict. so the hostname is set to null. by adding a hostname to my samba docker install i seem to have broken it. my other install uses synology virtual machine manager and it has a hostname from the first run. Maybe none of the can have a hostname, im going to try to remove hostname from the VMM install and see what happens

#

i cant fix it.. adding removing hostname still stays broken

#

even after rebooting

sly kindle
#

hostname for samba is going to be the same hostname you see in the system tab

#

is that what you are changing?

#

@wicked harbor

#

@lapis radish same for you

wicked harbor
#

yeah i tried to erase it on my synology VMM install. in the docker image it has NO hostname

sly kindle
#

the default is homeassistant

#

you erased it completely?

lapis radish
#

Oh I fixed mine, by rebooting the VM its on, then reinstallin

wicked harbor
#

yeah i changed it to hassio. but adding the hostname to docker with samba addon cause samba to stop working

lapis radish
#

But another thing, is there an addon to screen share on a chromecast through airplay?

wicked harbor
#

hmm yeah i did reboot but did not do both.. ill try that

sly kindle
#

samba addon is going to use the system hostname

wicked harbor
#

yeah but u can add a line hostname: to samba and it works

sly kindle
#

it shouldnt

#

it used to be an option

#

but was removed

lapis radish
#

@raven tinsel does your aircast add on support screen sharing from an iphone as well?

wicked harbor
#

hmm well maybe thats why it broke the mapping on my network

lapis radish
#

I see it supports airplay for music, but idk about screen sharing

sly kindle
#

you keep adding options. you can't add what isn't supported

#

They don't exist

wicked harbor
#

is there a way to reboot the docker image inside hass.io.. going into suoervisor system no reboot option is available

sly kindle
#

Unless you see it in the documentation, you can't make up options and add them

wicked harbor
#

only in docker.. not VMM

#

ok its prob why it broke

#

i took it out but its still broken

sly kindle
#

if you changed the hostname you would need to reboot the host

#

for it to take

wicked harbor
#

yeah ive done that

#

but did not reboot and uninstall

#

so the only way to reboot a docker hassio is within docker?

#

not in the hassio image itself

sly kindle
#

synology native install is its own beast. I don't know how it lines up and doesn't

#

I would assume, you aren't using a host OS in the same way, so the host reboot option isn't available

#

it would reboot the NAS or something maybe

#

and you wouldn't want that

wicked harbor
#

yeah ill try to reboot the nas.. i was thinking that also about the host os... perhaps because docker uses the same ip as the nas, maybe its sharing more of the synology linux environment and maybe it has more of the samba functions or is sharing the library that the nas uses for samba. the samba nas shares work.

sly kindle
#

but when using a VM it should just reboot the VM as if it were any other machine

#

That's how it works on whatever platform I've tried

wicked harbor
#

yeah i was just wondering if there was a way to reboot inside the webui for hass.io. it seems its missing that. so the only way to reboot is to use docker slider to reboot the home assistant container

sly kindle
#

that's not a reboot. That's a restart of Home Assistant

wicked harbor
#

ohh ok.. so is there a way to reboot without rebooting the nas?

sly kindle
#

this is what I'm saying

wicked harbor
#

i guess your saying no

sly kindle
#

the native package install is a side project

#

ask the one who made it

wicked harbor
#

i was hoping i just missed something

#

ok i will

#

well rebooting did not fix the samba issue.. ive broken it perminatly by adding hostname to the samba addon, weird uh? Ive removed it and it still remains borked.

#

this is interesting..

how do i remove a hostname from my workgroup?

flush dns maybe

When I installed NODE_RED a couple days ago, I accidentally did it thought HACS, and it didn't work, so then I did it thought integrations and it worked fine. But now I receive a notification that tells me there is a problem with Node Red and asks me to check my configuration (which is valid), so how do I get rid of whatever I did through HACS that is screwing this up?

@sly wing Everything HACS installs is in costum_components

@sly wing The integration in HACS isn't node red itself. It's a custom integration which does something specific for node red users

did you also go and remove the integration from configuration > integrations ?

I used this docker command for installing homeassistant
docker run --init -d --name="home-assistant" -e "TZ=America/New_York" -v /PATH_TO_YOUR_CONFIG:/config --net=host homeassistant/home-assistant:stable
where is the addon store, or is it the wrong image for the docker

pseudo lagoon
#

Hi @weary stratus - see https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/ "The only installation methods that allow you to use Home Assistant Add-ons is using the Home Assistant image and manual Supervised installer. All other methods only install the base Home Assistant packages, however the software from the add-ons may still usually be installed manually like any other program". Recommend either installing the add-on software manually via docker or installing homeassistant via supervised installer https://www.home-assistant.io/hassio/installation/#alternative-install-home-assistant-supervised-on-a-generic-linux-host

#

Anyone available to help troubleshoot why the Plex Server add-on is not starting up for me? I'm on raspian supervised HA install, and when I attempt to install and start-up the add-on, the last message I see in the add-on logs is "Starting the Plex Media Server..". When I check Supervisor System logs, I don't see anything notable, other than the container starting: "[supervisor.docker.addon] Start Docker add-on hassioaddons/plex-armv7 with version 2.3.2 \n [supervisor.api.security] /host/info access from a0d7b954_plex".

#

Any ideas why the Plex Server add-on would be stuck on 'starting' and/or what other logs I can look for to troubleshoot?

weary stratus
#

@pseudo lagoon thx help, if you look at the link, there are lots of docker images and I think they are all offical

pseudo lagoon
#

There is a supervised installer you'd want to use instead of home-assistant installed directly through docker if you want add-ons built-in. See my link above. Else if you want to manually install through docker the software that add-ons normally provide you can, it's just not an add-on store but manually installed one-by-one (for example node-red through docker rather than add-ons). That would be your only option if you decide to keep your current docker install method.

@pseudo lagoon thank you I found everything and installed and make it working 🙂

Hi everyone, this may be silly question, but I can't get Almond to connect with home assistant. It installs fine, but throws the error of "Almond registration of local Home Assistant failed!". I added it through the add-on store, and enabled the integration. If I tell Almond to configure home assistant, it starts the process, then tells me that "Home Assistant is not supported on this version of Almond". I'm not quite sure what I am doing wrong?

Hi all, is there any way to install a CUPS server on HassOS or is there an addon for it? I've got a network printer that doesn't support the IPP protocol and would like to have it in Home Assistant.

Hi all. Pretty new user to HA here. If my Duck DNS domain points to my routers interface, its because there is something wrong with the port forwarding? I followed all steps in JuanMTechs Beginners guide, but still no joy...

@manic scarab Sounds like you didn't forwarded this port? What do you mean with "point"?
