my main machine is a windows machine

but i guess i could do this before going to the "site"

#

You could try the SSH route. It's not like it has to compile anything, so it'll work okay.

#

I hated using the ESPHome addon on a Pi. Took so long and often locked up the Pi.

any appdaemon expert here?

Generally, don't ask to ask - just ask.

#

But there's also an appdaemon discord for specific questions. Let me see if I can find you a link.

@steady bobcat Thanks. Asked over there.

I'm getting an alexa media player captcha now that I can't see and it says this:

Important Message! To better protect your account, please re-enter your password and then enter the characters as they are shown in the image below.
#

I updated the addon on this morning, didn't help.

#

how the f do I enter my password with no password prompt.

#

also, can't see the captcha lol.

There are no add-ons in HACS

cogneato: trying to redirect the log output for mosquitto - do you have that set up?

I have it reading in an external conf file, but log_dest file doesn't seem to be working in it

#

Is it possible for an add-on to specify its own snapshot creation? I'm thinking of the MariaDB one, where the files backing the database should not be copied underneath a running database server.

Hello ! Does someone has Unifi Controller Addon ? I have a problem, the Unifi AP show as Disconnected. How to update the controller software? Now is on 5.12.72 and the latest software out there is 5.13.29

sly kindle
#

Add-ons are updated by the add-on developer. When that happens you would then update.

Suddenly, I'm having issues with my Xiamo Rasbpee sensors. Anyone here that can help?

dense spadeBOT
#

Don't ask to ask, just ask your question. Then people can answer when they're around.

When you do ask a question, try to provide as much background detail as possible. Ask yourself these questions first so that others don't have to:

  1. What version of the Home Assistant are you running? (remember, last isn't a version)
  2. What exactly are you trying to do that won't work?
  3. Is the problem uniform or erratic?
  4. What's the exact error message?
  5. When did it arise?
  6. What exactly don't you "get"?
  7. Can you share sample code, ideally with line errors where the error occurs?

My SD card died last week and I had to reinstall and restore from a snapshot. Since then, I've had some issues with my Xiaomi temp / water sensors. I'm running Raspbee with deCONZ v 5.3.5, Phoscon gateway v 2.05.75 .

At first, I had one sensor showing up, but now none do. When I go to add a sensor, it never connects. I'm wondering if maybe there's an issue with the gateway and the Pi settings? I did modify the config file as directed. The first question - how can I ensure that the Raspbee is configured and functioning properly?

Home Assistant 0.111.3

32 bit HassOS?

#

@full sparrow

full sparrow
#

yes

sly kindle
#

hmm. not sure then. Someone else who runs deCONZ might

#

I was going to install 64bit, but the install guide recommended 32.

sly kindle
#

yeah if you want the GPIO on the pi, 32 is the way to go

Hi i seem to have some issues with Almond (1.0.1) and Home Assistant Supervised (0.111.3) hass does not seem to be able to autodetect the intergration and most of the links on the almond page do not seem to work. am i doing something totally wrong or has something changed that would break this (never tried it)

Is there a way to run the configurator from the add-on store in standalone mode? I never use the left side with all of the HA stuff. I run hassio with hassOS and my installation type is Home Assistant.

sometimes it will recognize the command and sometimes it will not. i setup an automation to turn the left on when the right comes on and the the left off when the right comes on.

is anyone able to help me with my duckdns addon? it stopped working in the last update and I've looked at the docs but can't figure out what's happened

cobalt ice
#

@raven tinsel you did a Grafana update 14days ago (to 7.0.3) but didn't push a release.
I also noticed that the link in the changelog ( https://discord.me/hassioaddons ) is no longer valid.

#

oh wait the link works in the browser

raven tinsel
#

Just tested the discord link, it works.

#

The grafana would be correct. It isn't tested yet.

#

I don't release add-ons without testing them

Alright, 7.0.2 has a nasty crash that got fixed. I'll be patient then πŸ™‚

@raven tinsel did you recently test Almond?

i cant seem to be able to get to Amond its pages

#

but the Almond pages are 404

#

Having issues getting nginx proxy manager ssl working if anyone feels like helping out!

bold spire
#

What's the issue? πŸ™‚

wheat shadow
#

Basically, can't get nginx to actually create certificates

#

Got the addon ui up and running just fine, but I think I've done something wrong with ports

bold spire
#

Are you using the NGINX add-on or standalone NGINX install? Assuming the add-on, the docs say you must have the cert created before starting NGINX?

wheat shadow
#

Nah, I've got the nginx addon

#

for HassOS

bold spire
#

Could be wrong but the documentation for that add-on says you must have a certificate before you can start the add-on. This would seem to be what the error message is saying (no such file or directory)

#

Ah sorry I thought you were running the SSL one

wheat shadow
#

Yeah, this one is a bit different. Thought the error might be a fairly universal one but i guess not πŸ˜„

#

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other Home Assistant add-on.
Documentation guide:
Ensure you are running the MariaDB add-on. This add-on is required to use the Nginx Proxy Manager add-on as it uses the database services provided.
Search for the "Nginx Proxy Manager" add-on in the Supervisor add-on store and install it.
Start the "Nginx Proxy Manager" add-on
Check the logs of the "Nginx Proxy Manager" add-on to see if everything went well.
Click the "OPEN WEB UI" button and login using: admin@example.com / changeme
Forward port 80 and 443 from your router to your Home Assistant machine.
Enjoy the add-on!

#

Does my port forward seem ok? Not sure if I've done it right but I've used a different external port than 443?

#

Not sure if I can just set a different port (in this case I've used 444) and redirect it to 443 internally.

bold spire
#

I don't know much about this add-on never used it, but whats the difference in the port 82 and port 81 (entrance and web interface ports)?

wheat shadow
#

Yeah, all good

#

81 is UI

#

82 is just what I'm using instead of port 80 (blocked by isp)

#

Not sure if that's how you're meant to use port forwarding with nginx, but if 80 and 443 are blocked I figure it's the only way to set it up?

bold spire
#

It looks like the certificate is renewing OK according to the logs but when NGINX tries to start it cannot find the file. Can you check the contents of the directory: /etc/letsencrypt/live/npm-10/

wheat shadow
#

There is no letsencrypt folder that I can see

bold spire
#

Did you previously have a letsencrypt folder from an old install?

#

That has since been deleted?

wheat shadow
#

Not sure :/ I was using DuckDNS which has a letsencrypt certificate, but pretty sure it was in a different directory

#

Might not be anything on my end I guess

#

Guess the problem with ui-addons is there's less you can do to fix it aha

bold spire
#

I'm just wondering if the letsencrypt directory has been deleted and it cannot save the certificate because the directory doesn't exist. Just a guess

wheat shadow
#

Yeah, the proxy manager doesn't mention needing any additional LetsEncrypt stuff, but maybe I'll look into that.

#

My thinking was that it couldn't find any cert at the directory because it failed to get created (ie. problem creating the cert). Which becomes a big issue when it goes to look for it?

#

Guess I'll keep messing around with it aha. Don't suppose there's any other alternative nginx addons that use the command line for HassOS?

#

Sorry to drag you in @raven tinsel , but does the Nginx Proxy Manager addon require an ssl to be created externally before the plugin will work? from the documentation it looks like the only req's are port forwards on the router and MariaDB addon.

bold spire
#

I just realised, I think the ports you are using won't work, for certbot (letsencrypt) to run it requires port 80 at the moment.

#

Have you tried it with port 80 and 443 directly just to see?

wheat shadow
#

Hmm, that would make sense. But if my ISP has publicly blocked 80 & 443 what are my options?

#

I did try, but I'll check it again πŸ˜„

bold spire
#

Then you would need to use the letsencrypt DNS renewal instead of the HTTP renewal. You can use the DNS renewal option which requires you create a txt record but this is a manual process at the moment and probably won't work with the standard proxy manager, but looks like you could use it with the SSL proxy manager.

wheat shadow
bold spire
#

I would say this add-on will not be for you, try the DNS based challenge if you can

wheat shadow
#

So where should I go to set all that up? The LetsEncrypt addon?

#

Yeah, ok. Fair call hehe. I assume thats in the LetsEncrypt addon

bold spire
#

The DNS challenge looks to be supported in the LetsEncrypt addon πŸ™‚

#

Are you using DuckDNS as your DNS provider? Looks like you might need to switch to Cloudflare as it is supported for DNS challenges

wheat shadow
#

Sweet, I'll look into that. πŸ™‚

#

Thanks for the help!

raven tinsel
#

Sorry to drag you in @raven tinsel , but does the Nginx Proxy Manager addon require an ssl to be created externally before the plugin will work? from the documentation it looks like the only req's are port forwards on the router and MariaDB addon.
@wheat shadow Not really relevant anymore as it seems, but for future reference, it has certbot build in, so it takes care of that for you.

Hi, may i ask you whether somebody knows what has happened recently, with hassos/docker, because i have got my own hass addons written in python3 and they stopped to install complaining about missing pip3 command. Everything worked fine until i decided to reinstall the addon. I'm running it on rPi zero W.

Did you remove the pip3 package from your install?

It seems to me that the python is not installed.... I'm a bit desperate, because it worked fine and out of sudden it fails to start....

Hi all,I have an issue with duckdns add-on. I have set up port forwarding on my router (external 443 to internal 8123), set up duckdns correctly (both at duckdns.org and in HA), but I still can't connect through my chosen domain - I need to enter through https though. Any tips? The HA runs in Docker on a Dell Wyse terminal.

cunning wolf
#

How can you confidently state you've set it up correctly if it's not working? πŸ™‚

#

there are no error messages in duckdns log

it refreshes every 5 minutes and says it's ok πŸ™‚

cunning wolf
#

Can you access your HA internally via IP address?

weary stratus
#

yes, but only through https

cunning wolf
#

Can you access it externally with your external IP address?

sly kindle
#

that's expected

weary stratus
#

Can you access it externally with your external IP address?
@cunning wolf checking it now

sly kindle
#

that's no good

cunning wolf
#

That's probably your problem. Forward them to your HA host.

#

When I say probably, I mean definitely πŸ˜„

weary stratus
#

I set up port forwarding for my HA device from 443 external to 8123 internal

#

how should I set them up then?

cunning wolf
#

If it was set up correctly and HA was listening, it wouldn't say it's closed.

weary stratus
#

I scanned all common ports and they're all closed

#

could it be my ISP's policy?

sly kindle
#

could be

is there a way to find out?

#

Hey, with the simple DHCP server, does it allow you to list the devices connected on a dashboard?

lyric hawk
#

Be careful, a DHCP Server doesn't know who's connected. It knows how has asked for a IP and when. Set a low lease time can help you but can also a problem. If you really wanna know your devices connected to your network, you need intelligent switches and a router providing more infos

#

I use mikrotik everywhere and can "See" it all

primal cape
#

Figured as much. I'm thinking about replacing my ISP router at some point, I'll have to look for a decent one to get some HA integration

lyric hawk
#

Have a look at mikrotik :-) be careful, it is a mighty one and you need to configure much

#

And it's quite cheap, in my opinion

primal cape
#

I don't mind the configuring part, so long as it's not purely coding and there's some webUI just to make it a little easier

Local tts: I've seen quite a bit of recent talk about Local TTS options in HomeAssistant. If you run Home-Assistant All-In-One (Previously Hassio), you've probably realized that there's not really any out-of-the-box options. There is however a working solution using a custom Home-Assistant Add-On + a HACS integration: see here for a quick tutorial on how i have it working on an All-In-One install: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/24749#issuecomment-646670808

address already in use

lapis radish
#

And then this restarts all over again

cunning wolf

You already have something set up on that port.

lapis radish

But ive changed that

cunning wolf
#

Don't just blindly change things. Find out what else you have operating on that port.

lapis radish
#

Ok, could it just be other add ons or something else?

cunning wolf
#

Given port 53 is for DNS, it seems likely you have multiple DNS addons installed.

lapis radish
#

Thats weird, I didnt think I did, unless theres multiple uses for an add-on

#

I have adguard home, file editor, samba share, aircast, mqtt broker, spotify connect, app daemon 4, and node red

I tried a while ago making a DNS server on one of my other home servers, but its not on the same IPas home assistant. Coult that be the problem?

cunning wolf

Another home server? Virtual machine on the same host?

lapis radish
#

Yeah

cunning wolf
#

Can you stop it for a while and try restarting AdGuard on HA?

lapis radish
#

But I thought they were different IPs so it didnt matter

#

Sure

#

Still says address already in use

cunning wolf
#

Then you need to find out what else is using it

sly kindle
#

@lapis radish something on your OS, which isn't HassOS I assume

lyric hawk
#

Different ips in the container, but it bind to a port from os to forward the data to the adguard container. This fails. AS cogneato says, some dns Server on your os or another container with DNS....

You mean the ESPHome addon can't detect an ESP device connected via USB?

Yep

I’ll try that. I know I pressed it at one point but not sure when.
When should I do that in the process?

I've not actually used a NodeMCU but I'd guess... plug in, briefly press 'flash', then see what the addon says.

Ok - I've figured out where I went wrong. This needs to go in configuration.yaml as it isn't a group as far as Home Assistant is concerned. The lamps are grouped in zigbee2mqtt, and Home Assistant needs to be told there is a light entity in its configuration.

Hey I'm having trouble with influxdb using up a lot of swap. While it typically sits at 60% without influx running, as soon as I get it going I max out and am at the ceiling for most of the time. Is this just a result of running influxdb on a pi 3+? Or is there something I can do about it?

Hi all, I'm about to boil my head 😑 to get some relief from days of struggling to get Mosquitto, ha and an ESP8266 device working ! Stupid thing is that I had it working a year or so ago. Basically, no matter what I try I can't get the Mosquitto broker to add my single ESP8266 switch. I've watched countless ha/mqtt videos, scoured posts just about everywhere. Would someone PLEASE take a look at my code/configs and offer some pointers? Here are my config files: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jXThhKhTGv/

Hi @raven tinsel, back again to say thank you for your YouTube video you released on how to set up and install WireGuard. It's running perfectly! I even managed to get WireGuard working on an older Mac running macOS 10.13.

I just noticed you were using IDE, but I noticed it's being deprecated. Has a suitable replacement for Raspberry Pi been released yet?

cunning wolf
#

@chrome summit I'd suggest asking on the ESP8266 server if you're actually trying to code one. Alternatively, I'd recommend looking into ESPHome and using that instead - ESPHome integrates well with HA without having to do any custom code.

chrome summit
#

@cunning wolf Thank you for your reply. I was getting to the point of forgetting mqtt, despite having it all working previously; I guess alot has changed in the time since. I think I wil try ESPHome if it is well integrated. Thanks for the advice.

@covert arch You did select the glances db when importing that dashboard right? Only other difference I can see is for influx query, tutorial uses localhost.load and you have homeassistant.load.
Otherwise someone with more knowledge needs to help πŸ™‚

yep, I configured prefix: homeassistant in glances addon, will try using the default localhost now but it shouldn't matter :/ and yes the glances db was selected

grafana (using the preset) might be configured for localhost. you could change it there but has to be done for every graph i think.

Been there for over a hour. It's weird that its getting stuck. I don't get any other logs from anywhere to give me any sort of a clue where to look or what to do next. I've already removed the addon and reinstalled. Even tried going to the beta, still same results.

I'm starting with Node Red. Using the latest version and added the Node red Addon no problem. When I try and add an entity though I see this "Attention: This node requires Node-RED custom integration to be installed in Home Assistant for it to function." in the entity editor page. Feels like something did not install correctly or is there other setup I need to do. The docs page doesn't point me at anything so cannot work out why this is there.

I am trying to find a way to cast music from Spotify to both a google home speaker group and to a rasp pi running music box at the same time. I have gotten both the google home speaker group and the rasp pi music box to be detected in home assistant and I have grouped them together. I can address this group using the text to speech bar and I can hear the output play back across all the devices in sync. I now just need to find a way to play Spotify across this group. I have installed the Spotify connect addon and the Spotify integration. I can see 'Home assistant' listed as a speaker i can output to in Spotify however, when i select it i can not then hear the music, once i plug headphones into the rasp pi running home assistant i can then hear the audio, does anyone know of a way i can output this audio to the speakers previously mentioned instead of the built in 3.5mm jack. I have tried changing this option in the Spotify connect GUI however i only have the two option 'default' and 'build in audio' any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It decided it was too long. It doesn't care what's code and what's not.

#

It also shared the link already, you don't need to repeat it.

#

What's your config for the mqtt integration?

unborn lichen
#

default with one username/ password added

cunning wolf
#

Share it (you can hide the password)

dense spadeBOT
cunning wolf
#

And if you're worried about putting passwords in your config...

dense spadeBOT
#

Rather than putting sensitive information (passwords, locations, etc) into your configuration, you can store them in secrets to make sharing easier.

unborn lichen
cunning wolf
#

Okay... that's your config for the addon. Now share the config for the integration, like I asked.

#

It's the bit you should have added to configuration.yaml

unborn lichen
#

OK - that's likely the problem - I though it was all done through the UI now. I'll go and learn some more. Thanks for the pointer

cunning wolf
#

Second one is the one you need to set up... but reading the others is a good idea if you're new to MQTT and HA.

#

You can use the UI, just make sure you've done it right.

#

You'll end up with something like this, where the address of your broker matches the location of the addon (probably the same IP address as your HA), and your username and password match:

mqtt:
  username: !secret mqtt_broker_username
  password: !secret mqtt_broker_password
  broker: 192.168.1.21
  discovery: true
  discovery_prefix: homeassistant```
unborn lichen
#

Thanks again. The only setting showing on the Integration page is discovery option. I'll go back to the configuration.yaml route

#

@modern hound That message says you need to install this add-on: https://github.com/zachowj/hass-node-red for it to function. It's available through HACS if you use that.
@bold spire Many thanks, I had thought it would be embedded in the HASSIO style way of installing now. I will go and give that a try. Maybe something went slightly wrong when I installed Node Red.

@dusty mica When you say "standalone" mode, you just mean accessing it via a separate port in your browser?

if so, yes. Just enter a port in the Configuration section of the add-on

dusty mica

@viscid orchid Would it just be β€œport: 81239” without quotes?

viscid orchid

It’s just a text field, so it’s give it a number

I haven't tried to access it that way in quite some time and just looked for the port

so, in summary, no

Ok, so in the documentation of the non add-on configurator I saw that you can remove the hass api by running it is β€œstand-alone ” more. So there’s not any stand alone mode in the add-on then?

you can find the container separately and run it that way

Hi everyone, I have problems with a hue dimmable light that starts in "On" after power failure. Apparently, it is a bug in the deCONZ GUI that prevents you from setting the attribute via the interface (write failed). It should be possible to get around by editing the general.xml file which should be under / usr / share / deCONZ / zcl / but cannot find that folder. I run deCONZ as an addon to Hass.IO. I have tried looking in the mapping of the data folder in Docker but there it isn’t. I have also browsed the hassio directory in terminal with no success. Anyone know where I can find the file?

Hi Everyone. I'll looking to start a conversation with anyone that can assist in explaining MQTT brokers and bridges to me.

I'm new to HA and MQTT and struggling to find info that explains how to set it up in HA.

PS. I'm running HASSOS on a VM installed via OVA/VMDK
My goal is to connect a smart TV that is running a Broker to HA.
All the info i found thus far seems like i need to edit mosquitto.conf that i can't find anywhere.

Even if there is some form of a file structure document, that will also already help.

sly kindle
#

@bold canyon the tv is running a broker? Or it's an mqtt client?

bold canyon
#

Hi. It's a broker

#

i used MQTT Explorer to connect to it

sly kindle
#

I suppose you could point HA to this broker through the integrations page

bold canyon
#

that is what i'm trying to do (not sure how thou)
This is the link/doc i got to and they talking about setting up a bridge

#

and to setup a bridge it would seem i need to change/add/update the mosquitto.conf but can't seem to find it anywhere.

#

what i'm trying now is to add the info to Supervisor > mosquitto broker > configuration. Not sure if that is the right place, but seems like it could be

cunning wolf
#

If you're supposed to add files for the addon to read, some addons look for files in the /share folder on your HA host.

#

Googling is hard...

bold canyon
#

@cunning wolf thank you for the link. Will check it out now

cunning wolf
#

What goes into the file is probably specific to your device... but that post looks promising for putting the file somewhere Mosquitto can get to it.

bold canyon
#

@cunning wolf Thank you very much for that post, looks like it worked. I was expecting to find mosquitto/mosquitto.conf under the share folder and when /share was empty i assumed it's the wrong place.

Now just to sort out the certificate issues

what device are you trying to connect? have you flash your device with esphome?

you will not be able to flash OTA unless you flash your device manually first

if you have flashed the device then HA should detect it automatically or you can go to your router settings to find out the ip

Hi folks, I'm running the Mosquitto Add-In. I want to configure this to bridge all homeassistant mqtt events out to another mqtt broker. I can connect to mosquitto locally, and see all my events (using stateStream), but I do not know how to configure the Mosquitto Add-In for a Bridge setup. I don't see the mostquitto config file available to the add-in docker container

#

I can see mosquitto.conf in /usr/share/hassio/addons/core/mosquitto/data from the host running Home Assistant. But the volumes mounted to the AddOn don't include that path

#

Should I be modifying the mosquitto.conf within the AddOn Container, located in /etc/mosquitto/ (if so - won't that config be lost if the container is replaced?)

its possible to integrate with HA without changing the firmware?

cunning wolf
#

Your pastebin has expired. Set it without an expiry in future πŸ˜‰

gritty citrus
#

dam

#

i will next time i guess setting it to a day wasnt enough

cunning wolf
#

It even tells you which file is missing. Have you checked to see if it's there?

gritty citrus
#

i installed it via the addon panel i didnt realise i had to do more?

cunning wolf
#

Have you checked to see if the file is there?

gritty citrus
#

let me check

#

stand by trying to figure out how to access that part of the file system

cunning wolf
#

Yessir

#

If it's an addon, maybe you can't get to it easily. Probably easiest to uninstall and reinstall.

#

It says there's a missing file. Give it a chance to install the file.

gritty citrus
#

yeah i tired that reinstalling and it didnt seem to help

cunning wolf
#

Refresh your browser cache and try using it again.

gritty citrus
#

done and no dice

#

I have just installed MQTT, made a light connect to the MQTT on the home assistant (the connection also came thru in the console, tasmota, ... Installed). But the light doesn't show up as a device. How do I set this up manually?

cunning wolf
#

If you're using Tasmota, you might want to look into auto-discovery (SetOption19).

leaden nest
#

It only goes to 16 for me.

#

I use a template for LSC rgblight

#

Oh, got it. It isn't in that list. But only via console.

leaden nest
#

Yesterday I tried putting Tasmota on a light, but all my lights (3) where on one psychical switch and all went in to pairing mode when flashing tasmota.
After that, they all went off. But only one of them got the panel created online.
Now, when I try to turn the other 2 on, they are unresponsive.

#

Did I break those lights? sweatsmile

#

Also a new SSID: vtrust-recovery is showing up?

#

anyone got ultrasonic sensor sr04t to work with esphome on esp32 nodemcu?
the info i got from google are all esp8266
its only giving me timeout msg

#

@leaden nest If i am not mistaken, I dont think you can flash all at once. you will have to do it one by one.. anyways.. thats how i did it

leaden nest
#

Got them back to life: they didn't respond anymore, but where still 'online'. So I was able to flash it again.

jovial thicket
#

Hi guys, I'm having problem to setup the deconz add-on with raspbee. Anyone available to help me?

bold spire
#

@astral forge Whats the problem?

astral forge
#

@bold spire , I had to reinstall my home assistant from the scratch on a new SD card. Now, the deconz addon is not finding the lights and sensors.
I've already included the lines on config.txt

#

Additionally, it's not holding the firmware upgrade either

Before change the SD card, it was working without problems

Did you try listening for events?

astral forge
#

I not sure if I know how to do it

#

*I'm

bold spire
#

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/deconz/
Specifically:

Navigate to Developer tools->Events. In the section Listen to events add deconz_event and press START LISTENING. All events from deCONZ will now be shown and by pushing your remote button while monitoring the log it should be fairly easy to find the events you are looking for.

astral forge
#

I'll try it now

bold spire
#

Also do you have the discover entry in your config?

astral forge
#

Yes, I do.

bold spire
#

And did you re-generate an API key after re-installing?

astral forge
#

humm, I'm not sure

#

No events listened

bold spire
#

Please read the configuration section

astral forge
#

Nothing appears on phoscon app

bold spire
#

That is probably the issue

astral forge
#

I usually add the device on the phoscon app and then the integration on HA is easy

#

However, now there are nothing on phoscon app and is not finding the devices either

bold spire
#

Does the app detect the gateway?

astral forge
#

yes

bold spire
#

And when you try to add a device in the app nothing happens? Do you have the web interface running on your pi?

astral forge
#

nothing happens. Yes, the web interface is running

bold spire
#

Have you tried moving devices closer to discover them?

Maybe try uninstall and re-install the add-on? Other than that I am not sure

I already tried that 😦

It seems to be any configuration

#

something different from the documentation

bold spire
#

Did you add the device serial to the config?

#

Can you try ls -la /dev/serial/by-id/ from the command line

astral forge
#

sure

#

I'll try

#

ls: /dev/serial/by-id/: No such file or directory

actually, I'm using ttyAMA0

bold spire
#

If you unplug the gateway and run the same, does /dev/ttyAMA0 disappear?

astral forge
#

I can try

#

just a minute

bold spire
#

Ah nevermind I can see it is the correct device

astral forge
#

ok

bold spire
#

If you go to the hardware tab in system what devices are reported?

dense spadeBOT
astral forge
#

serial:
/dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyAMA0

bold spire
#

Did you set a device ID and channel?

#

gateway ID sorry

astral forge
#

On configuration tab? no

bold spire
#

And did you add /dev/ttyAMA0 to the configuration?

#

I'm guessing yes

astral forge
#

Yes

#

I've increased the addon log level

bold spire
#

Sorry I'm out of ideas, I've not done much deconz! Did you try moving a device closer?

#

OK see if anything else happens in the logs

astral forge
#

Yes, they are close

#

on log:
10:56:49:691 HTTP Server listen on address 0.0.0.0, port: 40850, root: /usr/share/deCONZ/webapp/

#

0.0.0.0 ?

bold spire
#

Just means its listening on all IP's I think, this is normal

astral forge
#

I'll try to change
dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt to dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt
on config.txt

#

and completely disable bluetooth

bold spire
#

I take it you have tried changing USB ports?

astral forge
#

Its serial (raspbee) not usb 😦

bold spire
#

Oh! So have you tried this

enable_uart=1

in config.txt?

astral forge
#

yes, it is

bold spire
#

Hopefully someone with more deconz experience can help

Thank you @bold spire

Node red thing is still annoying.

Hi - I am trying to get the zigbee2mqtt add-on talking to the Mosquitto add-on (not the deprecated built in MQTT server)

#

So I removed the built in MQTT settings from configuration.yaml and removed it from integrations, then restarted.

#

After restart, the Integrations page showed the MQTT add-on in discovered integrations, so I configured it.

#

I am unsure how to configure zigbee2mqtt to use the Mosquitto add-on

#

This config doesn't seem to work:
mqtt: base_topic: zigbee2mqtt server: 'mqtt://localhost:1883' user: mqtt password: password

cunning wolf
#

What do the logs say when you try to start the addon?

mortal moth
#

zigbee2mqtt:info 2020-06-27 16:25:10: Connecting to MQTT server at mqtt://localhost:1883 zigbee2mqtt:error 2020-06-27 16:25:20: Not connected to MQTT server!

cunning wolf
#

That's all?

mortal moth
#

Those are the zigbee2mqtt logs - lots of lines saying Not connected to MQTT server!

cunning wolf
#

Try using the IP address and ignoring the port number: server: 'mqtt://192.168.1.21'

mortal moth
#

Yep - that seemed to work!

cunning wolf
#

Don't forget, addons run in containers. 'localhost' doesn't mean what you think it means.

mortal moth
#

Ok - assuming 127.0.01 also wouldn't work

#

Now I cannot see any of my zigbee devices - either the ones that were there before when using the built in mqtt, or any new ones that have been discovered

cunning wolf
#

You might want to ask over in #zigbee-archived about that. Make sure to tell them you're using z2m.

mortal moth
#

Ok - thanks

Hi everyone. I am having problems restoring the mariadb add-on when I take a snap shot.

hi, how I can install the open mqtt gateway

#

can someone help?

#

is this an addon?

#

or is this intigration installed out of the box on my home assistant?

#

thanks for everyone who has an answer

cunning wolf
wraith pulsar
#

ah okay

#

so I don't need to download the zip file?

cunning wolf
#

I don't see any mention of a zip file...

#

If you mean to install OpenMQTTGateway itself... yes, you'll have to install something. Follow their instructions.

wraith pulsar
cunning wolf
wraith pulsar
#

how I can install it on my home assistant?

#

via hacs?

#

or the official addon store

cunning wolf
#

Do you even know what it is?

wraith pulsar
#

yes, I have already use zigbee2mqtt

#

I need a gateway for 433mhz devices

#

so I found this option with the open mqtt gateway

cunning wolf
#

What is OpenMQTTGateway? What does it do? All I see if a bunch of firmwares for ESP chips.

#

All of the devices is says it supports can work with any MQTT broker. You already have one if you're using z2m.

#

Put Tasmota/ESPHome on your devices so they can talk to MQTT. Configure HA to read from MQTT. Done.

wraith pulsar
#

okay, so my raspberry pi with home assistant and the mosquitto addon is an OpenMQTTGateway?

#

right?

cunning wolf
#

No...

wraith pulsar
#

πŸ˜…

#

I'm sorry

cunning wolf
#

You saw all those ZIP files, right? All the ones that said 'firmware' in their names?

wraith pulsar
#

yes

cunning wolf
#

It's software to go onto the chips of hardware devices...

#

Nothing to do with HA.

#

Not HACS. Not addons.

wraith pulsar
#

okay than it is firmwares for the divices

#

nothing else

cunning wolf
#

And once those devices talk to your MQTT broker, HA will see them and be able to talk to them.

wraith pulsar
#

okay

#

nice

#

I understand

#

thanks a lot for supporting

#

God bless you :)

Anyone know where the editable files live on zwave2mqtt inside of Hassio add on

cunning wolf
real comet
#

@cunning wolf but it’s an add-on not core

cunning wolf
#

But it's Z-Wave...

#

You could ask here for general add-ons about anything, or you could ask there where people that use that specific add-on hang out.

#

Better odds of someone knowing the answer in a more specialised channel.

real comet
#

Ok in general if the add-on is installed with RW capability of the config folder then I can use

/config/doit as a folder?

cunning wolf
#

In general, it's a Docker container with some folder structure. Who knows?

#

Once you're in, ls to see what's there and poke around.

#

But if you don't want to guess, ask in #zwave-archived where someone can answer your specific question.

I have samba and ssh working but neither can see the contents of the containers? Specifically I am looking to find the mariadb file.

sly kindle
#

@cyan prawn still trying to find the size?

Do you have a snapshot?

You could browse a recent snapshot and get an idea of the size.

#

Or you could use the phpmyadmin add-on and look at the size

I got a question regarding traccar and MariaDB.
My MariaDB log is getting spammed with:
[Warning] Aborted connection 1444 to db: 'traccar' user: 'service' host: '172.30.32.1' (Got an error reading communication packets)
Traccar gives me a 502

cyan prawn
#

I do have a snapshot. Still don't understand why I can't easily see the file size. I just installed hopefully this will let me see the file size. I am trying to reduce writes to the db and file size due to still on a SD memory card. Not easy to see if I am accomplishing anything unless I know what I am starting with.

#

See it with the phpmyadmin add on. Thanks. I don't understand the rational on hiding this with the normal Samba or SSH tools?

sly kindle
#

it's not hidden

#

it's in the container, you are just unaware of how to bash into a container

#

samba is exposing folder shares

#

the mariadb isn't in any of those

cyan prawn
#

Where do I learn how to bash into a container

sly kindle
#

If you connect to the host and use docker commands, you can do this. Or you could use the community repo ssh addon with protection mode off to use docker commands

cyan prawn
#

I have the community ssh addon and with protection off.

sly kindle
#

a quick test is whether docker ps works

cyan prawn
#

docker exec -it fbd81dccedd4 /bin/bash

#

It works.

#

how do I find the file

sly kindle
#

ls

cyan prawn
#

19 directories. Which one has the db file

sly kindle
#

instinct...

#

try /data

cyan prawn
#

ls in data gives me options.json secret

sly kindle
#

you don't see "databases"?

cyan prawn
#

I do not

#

I guess it is hidden. If I do cd databases, then LS I have a similar screen as yours

#

But this does not show any files sizes

sly kindle
#

you use ls with options. ls -hal is what I usually go with

cyan prawn
#

THANK YOU! I assume the name is mysql?

sly kindle
#

mmm...you should be seeing a directory for each database you have

#

you would then enter the homeassistant one and see the ibd files

#

I have bookstack, and nginxproxymanager databases as well, for example

#

so it depends on if you're looking for a grand total of databases, or just the database home assistant is using for states, events, etc

cyan prawn
#

so mariadb doesn't have a main db file?

sly kindle
#

scroll back up to my screenshot and you'll see bookstack and homeassistant...those are directories

cyan prawn
#

I have homeassistant as well. I have 4 ibd files in it. I assume these are the data bases for Mariadb?

sly kindle
#

those are specifically for homeassistant...What recorder:is using

cyan prawn
#

so is there one DB file?

sly kindle
#

just check the size of the directory

#

du -h homeassistant

#

or use phpmyadmin instead

#

you'll see the databases

#

and tables

I like IOTLink even more after realising I can control the volume on my PC remotely. I got annoyed with not being able to change the volume from my work machine during the day (media plays through the PC to surround sound).

hot glacier
#

yes i see it @sly kindle buy the way thanks for your help

sly kindle
#

@cunning wolf yes, being able to mute/unmute desktop discord notifications while media player is playing is nice

#

node-red can bascially pass on any console command, which is also cool

cunning wolf
#

Oh. On that topic (and feel free to send me to another channel πŸ˜„ ), is there a way to tell when a Teams call is in progress?

sly kindle
#

a teams call?

#

hmm

cunning wolf
#

Yeah... auto-mute music when it knows I'm in a meeting/call. I don't know if there's an API for that 😐

sly kindle
#

yeah, I'm not aware either

cunning wolf
#

I'll do some research. Cheers πŸ™‚

hot glacier
#

yes its working

#

i will try iotlink now too

#

i am new to home assistannt

sly kindle
#

iotlink needs the mosquitto broker addon set up

#

a little more involved

#

but a lot more functionality

hot glacier
#

i know

#

i already have mqtt

#

do you have tips i run home assistant now on pi3 and i wil put it on pi4 soon do you have tips to easy convert

cunning wolf
#

Using the image?

hot glacier
#

yes

cunning wolf
hot glacier
#

oke

#

or via addon when that exists

hot glacier
#

1 last question how do i add the addon to lovelace

#

type: ''
service: hassio.addon_stdin
data:
addon: core_rpc_shutdown
input: main

#

this?

#

but wich type

#

card

last cobalt
#

I've installed the node-red addon from the store but it's not starting. When I go to the web UI it says gateway error 502 and then the addon service stops

#

is SSL necessary? I haven't set up SSL on my hass instance, so maybe that's part of the issue?

hot glacier
#

i have also problems with ssl

hot glacier
#

but how can i add it

sly kindle
#

you use what you tested to create an automation

hot glacier
#

the card and ssl with duckdns

sly kindle
#

one thing at a time πŸ˜›

versed notch
#

Anyone knowledgeable about MariaDB?
Traccar keeps giving me an error and traccar wont start up (502)
[Warning] Aborted connection 30 to db: 'traccar' user: 'service' host: '172.30.32.1' (Got an error reading communication packets)
Could it be that there is something wring with my configuration.yaml?

I got this:

recorder:
  db_url: mysql://homeassistant:PASSWORD@localhost/homeassistant?charset=utf8

Could I be missing something

hot glacier
#

oke the card

versed notch
#

I tried googling it as well, but I really can't seem to find the mistake I've made

hot glacier
#

@sly kindle

sly kindle
#

you create an automation, not a card

#

if you want to create a card which lets you enter any text you want that is going to require some advanced #frontend-archived

hot glacier
#

i mean a card with a button that you can turn it off

sly kindle
#

oops...mixing you up with the notifications person..

hot glacier
#

lol

sly kindle
#

there are many ways, but one way would be by using the entity-button card

cunning wolf
#

@versed notch localhost? Docker? Yeah, that probably isn't gonna work.

versed notch
#

What should I fill in there? core-mariadb? @cunning wolf

#

I tried that and got the same error :/ So I'm just trying things out now

cunning wolf
#

Where is the addon running that contains your DB?

versed notch
#

You mean mariaDB?

#

I got MariaDB and Traccar

cunning wolf
#

Where?

versed notch
cunning wolf
#

No. That's how you access them. Where are they?

versed notch
#

Good question

cunning wolf
#

Under the bed? In a cornflake box? On a computer?

versed notch
#

On the sd on the pi

#

Pi 4

cunning wolf
#

And what's the address of the Pi?

versed notch
#

Local or external?

cunning wolf
#

Local, unless you want all communication to have to make a round trip to the outside world.

hot glacier
#

how can you make a card

#

idk

cunning wolf
versed notch
#

Was gonna say, I don't think I need it to be external

hot glacier
#

ok

versed notch
#

My local address is 192.168.2.4

cunning wolf
#

So... what happens when you use that?

versed notch
#

Then the pi uses it's own address, accessed from the router (?)

sly kindle
#

core-mariadb should work

#

instead of localhost

#

but local ip address should too

versed notch
#

recorder:
db_url: mysql://homeassistant:PASS@core-mariadb/homeassistant?charset=utf8

#

Like that?

sly kindle
#
 db_url: mysql://homeassistant:password@core-mariadb/homeassistant?charset=utf8```
#

yes

versed notch
#

What is the difference for this application in between using 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.2.4

cunning wolf
#

127.0.0.1 = localhost.

#

i.e. the environment that you're in now.

#

Docker containers are their own environment.

versed notch
#

Oh right

#

and my pi gives it its own address

#

so by leaving it localhost it will stay in the envoirement

#

unless I tell it to access the pi

#

By using a local address instead of localhost

#

Right?

cunning wolf
#

Not quite. Your local IP is your way into the Pi. The Pi might delegate access to other things within it.

#

Like how your external IP gets you to your router and then the router decides where the requests go within your network.

sly kindle
#

192.168.2.4 is where mariadb is running, 192.168.2.4 is where traccar is running, 192.168.2.4 is where homeassistant is running...etc

versed notch
#

I see

#

I mean, I know a bit of networking, but not that much hahaha

#

Excuse me for my lack of understanding πŸ˜…

cunning wolf
#

Nah, that wasn't too painful. We've suffered worse πŸ˜„

versed notch
#

Hahah for sure

#

Earlier when I used core-mariadb it gave me that same error

#

I'm trying the local IP now, gonna see how that works

#

The silly thing is, most of this stuff just worked and I felt like I understood it. But when MariaDB just gave that error I was just clueless

cunning wolf
#

Happens to us all sometimes, don't worry about it.

versed notch
#

[Warning] Aborted connection 398 to db: 'traccar' user: 'service' host: '172.30.32.1' (Got an error reading communication packets)
Yep, same error again

#

@cunning wolf

#

So the Recorder part seems to be okay

sly kindle
#

do you actually have gps devices in your cars for using with traccar?

#

becasuse it's really not worth the hassle unless you do

versed notch
#

I wanted to hook my phone into it

sly kindle
#

there are better ways of tracking your phone

versed notch
#

I mostly wanted to check the system out and see what it could offer me

cunning wolf
#

GPSLogger for Android. Something else for iPhone.

sly kindle
#

the HA mobile apps, gpslogger, owntracks...

cunning wolf
#

Traccar seems kinda pointless unless you're doing fleet management.

versed notch
#

I see

cunning wolf
#

One car does not make a fleet πŸ˜„

versed notch
#

hahaha I see

sly kindle
#

or if your family has cars and each of them have a gps device in them...

versed notch
#

I thought it was like, giving you that same thing that google gives you, the roads you been on and everything

sly kindle
#

which was a possibility, so thought I'd ask

versed notch
#

But then locally

cunning wolf
#

or if your family has cars and each of them have a gps device in them...
@sly kindle That's a fleet πŸ˜„

sly kindle
#

there is no way to do gps locally really

cunning wolf
#

Nat - does your car ever go anywhere without you?

versed notch
#

not really

cunning wolf
#

Then your mobile is your car tracker.

versed notch
#

I mostly travel by bike tbh

cunning wolf
#

If you want to know when you're in your car, use something else to detect that.

versed notch
#

I thought it would be a fun way to track the distance and everything lmao

#

I found a way that I could hook my phone to hass with the gpslogger

sly kindle
#

life360 app is another

versed notch
#

Is there a way that I could easily collect all that data and display it on a map?

cunning wolf
#

Location history? Probably

sly kindle
#

the map card will now show device tracker entities paths

#

not the main map panel, but a separately added card

versed notch
#

Oh really? How does one add that card?

sly kindle
#

it's kind of rudimentary but it's there

versed notch
#

Or could it show that on a day to day basis where I've been

cunning wolf
#

Oh... how'd I miss the 'hours' bit? πŸ˜„

sly kindle
#

you just add it πŸ™‚

cunning wolf
#

Or a mod could just break the rules and tell you here πŸ˜„

sly kindle
#

lol

versed notch
#

I suppose that could be done by just collect the data and throw it in a database and then use the content of that database on a map + filter buttons

#

hahaha I will

Is there some kind of tutorial on how to run two different z2m instances in hassio in order to run and manage two separated ZigBee networks?

cunning wolf
#

A possible use case for this is to be able to use different Z-Wave networks, on different Z-Wave sticks (with the second one possible running on another computer in a different location).
Applies to ZigBee too.

clear gust
#

A short note on why I would like to do that: I have three ZigBee devices (i.e., three Heiman sirens) that hamper the stability of the entire ZigBee network.

cunning wolf
#

You wouldn't have two networks running on one host. You'd need two hosts.

#

Is that all? Replace the bad devices πŸ˜„

clear gust
#

So my idea for a workaround is to create a separate network that covers the problematic devices.

#

@cunning wolf: Unfortunately it is not that easy. 😦

#

So, two coordinators with two separated z2m instances won't work. 😦

cunning wolf
#

You're telling me it won't work before looking at something designed to solve that very same problem?

clear gust
#

Of course running at different channels.

cunning wolf
#

Go read that page, try it out, see what it does.

#

Don't write things off without even trying.

clear gust
#

@cunning wolf: Sorry for the misunderstanding, I made the conclusion "So, two coordinators with two separated z2m instances won't work." based on your previous statement. I will play around with it and see what happens. Unfortunately I am not very familiar with ZigBee in general. I just thought, as it is straightforward to run two different WiFi Access points, with two different WiFi cards, on the same computer, this might work for ZigBee with two coordinators as well.

cunning wolf
#

Well, no. Because you have a single add-on running Z2M and it's not designed for that purpose.

#

You could raise a feature request or do a PR yourself if you're so inclined... but yours is a bit of an edge case, so it's unlikely to be developed unless you do it yourself.

clear gust
#

@cunning wolf: OK, get it. Thanks. Well, the root of my problem is that the three Heiman sirens, which in particular work really well as MQTT-controlled sirens, act also as router. But they don't work very reliable as a router in the network. My theory why they cause problems is that they use the ZLL protocol, which is a subset of the full Zigbee protocol. They can repeat/route ZLL compliant messages but not full ZigBee messages. I have found this interesting post on this topic: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/aqara-motion-sensors-with-zigbee2mqtt-unresponsive-after-a-few-hours-need-constant-re-pairing/206515/5?u=star314

Team, I have successfully install MariaDB and PhPMyAdmin Add-ons and they work great. I am currently having issues to get node red to communicate with the DB. I install the MySQL pallet and it can not connect. Maybe I have the wrong IP address or some stupid setting I over looked. Any help would be appreciated

Hi community, I have installed duck DNS following the instructions in the add on documentation and it is working fine for HTTP: However HTTPS is throwing an error when I try to access it. ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR. I have set accept terms to true and don't see any errors in the add on log. On my router I have port forward 8123 to the HA instance. Are there further steps I need to take?

sly kindle
#

@wind trench sounds like you are missing the http: configuration

wind trench
#

Hey @sly kindle Thank you for that. Yes I found a blog post on the configuration.ymal file entry. Put that in and working eternally with HTTPS but now when I access locally I am getting a connection reset error. Does this look correct?

sly kindle
#

locally you should be using https:// too

wind trench
sly kindle
#

base_url does not belong there anymore

wind trench
#

Locally I get t o the log in via https ok but then when actually logging in it get reset

sly kindle

you would enter your duckdns URL in configuration > general in the UI
