cool!

clear mason
#

This is all internal to my network, so no forwarding yet. My browser is angry about certificate names, but I'm up and running.

snow oracle
#

or add server_port: 443

#

that would change default 8123 to 443

Hi, Im also struggling to setup the duckdns add-on, I followed the documentation and a couple of tutorials and seems that Im doing everything but I end up with this error "ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH"

#

btw also added the certificates to the cconfiguration.yaml

boreal bane
#

are you accessing by ip internally with https?

marble ridge
#

It seems that now I can

#

Last night following a tutorial also added my duckdns url under the base_url and that seemed to break all local accces ( wich it was ok acording to the tutorial)

boreal bane
#

what version did you update to? 0.114?

marble ridge
#

both, because I tried before update and got the same error

boreal bane
#

0.114?

#

is the update you did?

marble ridge
#

yes

boreal bane
#

you need to remove base_url if you are on 0.114 and use external_url and internal_url

marble ridge
#

yes, now its without base_url because I removed it reading @clear mason questions

#
http:
#   base_url: https://benassistant.duckdns.org
  ssl_certificate: /ssl/fullchain.pem
  ssl_key: /ssl/privkey.pem
boreal bane
#

if you can access it with https://ip then go add the external_url and internal_url

marble ridge
#

ok

boreal bane
#

configuration > general

marble ridge
#

will do, I'll keep you posted, thanks

boreal bane
#

πŸ˜‰

#

you can add these from UI

#

also you don't have a port number

#

in your base_url, did you forward 443 to 8123?

#

or are you running a custom server port

marble ridge
#

I forwarded that port in my router

boreal bane
#

ok, so that base_url would have never worked internally anyway

#

LOL

marble ridge
#

L

#

LOL

boreal bane
#

that would've only worked externally

#

if at all

marble ridge
#

seems that I need to do some reading, thanks for the info

boreal bane
#

for internal_url if your DNS doesn't work like mine

marble ridge
#

@boreal bane I restarted HA and was stuck like 40 min in that task and I panicked because I didn't have a recent snapshot. I will defer the dns thing to when I am more confident that I understand what Im doing. I really appreciate your help

boreal bane
#

no worries

slow heath

Morning! Since people asked about DuckDNS... I was curious if someone knows of a way to run addons ngix + duckdns + change their default ports? I want to run diyHue and hue needs ports 80 and 443. Any advice on how to keep all 3 enabled? I know it would require a reverse proxy, but wondering if there's an elegant solution.

boreal bane
#

what OS are you on?

slow heath
#

Linux. debian base

boreal bane

slow heath
#

Did I ask in the wrong place about addons? πŸ˜›

cunning wolf
boreal bane
#

so #330944238910963714 then if you're asking about add-ons
my mistake when I said add-ons ... I meant diyhue not the add-ons from the store

#

because to my knowledge it's not an "add-on" for HA

#

but I could be mistaken

#

also because of the install method I would have thought that multiple servers trying to run on port 80 and 443 would be an OS issue per se

#

but correct me if I'm mistaken

slow heath
#

Yeah, so the question is if I can move ports 80/443 from addons duckdns and ngix which are in addon store. Or how to do it the most sensible way

#

First obvious solution is to simply not use them. But trying to use them πŸ˜›

waxen wigeon
#

Set up Maria DB but I'm pretty sure I'm having an issue with NGINX proxy manager. I can't get it to start. Assuming my db connection string in config.yaml is incorrect anyone got a how-to on what the strring should look like for the mariaDB add-on ?

boreal bane
#

Yeah, so the question is if I can move ports 80/443 from addons duckdns and ngix which are in addon store. Or how to do it the most sensible way
@slow heath I know letsencrypt uses port 80 for http verification, and that's a part of the duckdns+letsencrypt addon... perhaps the first step is to not use HTTP verification for letsencrypt

boreal bane
#

anyone else notice file editor uses white background even when dark is selected everywhere else?

#

on 0.114

void steppe
#

someone can help with portainer?

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?
slow heath
#

@boreal bane Yeah, I think I need to keep it enabled for Google Assistant to work (TTS only works with SSL or something of that nature?)

void steppe
#

i want to add debian as a docker. is it possible?

boreal bane
#

I didn't say not to use SSL, there are verification types for let's encrypt....

#

HTTP is one of them

#

that's why you need incoming port 80

slow heath
#

Btw I guess I could change diyHue for emulated_hue official HA integration. Would be same ports needed

#

Oh I see, you mean try method #2?

#
  1. http challenge
    Requires Port 80 to be available from the internet and your domain assigned to the externally assigned IP address
    Doesnt allow wildcard certificates (*.yourdomain.com).
  2. dns challenge
    Requires you to use one of the supported DNS providers (See "Supported DNS providers" below)
    Allows to request wildcard certificates (*.yourdomain.com)
    Doesn’t need you to open a port to your Home Assistant host on your router.
boreal bane
#

correct

#

that's what I meant

torn vector
#

what happened to the nginx_proxy addon? It seems to have disappeared off the store

#

I only just got it working and now it's broken again, haha

viscid orchid
#

still there

#

is "advanced mode" enabled in your profile?

#

I don't know what's hiding behind that

#

ssh for sure

torn vector
#

yeah, it's on.

viscid orchid
torn vector
#

interesting, when I do the same I only get the proxy manager

#

is there a way to force a pull to update the addon list?

viscid orchid
#

upper-right-corner->Reload

#

it also may not be available for your hardware platform

torn vector
#

nice, it's back now.

#

no idea why it disappared but ah well.

viscid orchid
#

great

torn vector
#

and now it's offering its self signed cert instead of my real one for my domain... /facepalm

ok, that part was my fault, typoed my local domain. haha

Hey there guys

But the mtqq message that sends every time that I use the card is not working with HA

tender elbow
#

HI what is the best way to determine that all integrations are loaded before starting an add-on?

cunning wolf
#

There's an event that fires when all integrations have loaded, though I'm not sure how you'd use that to do a delayed load of an add-on.

#

Do you just want to see when it's loaded and then start it manually?

dark yoke
#

listen for the "homeassistant_started" event @tender elbow

tender elbow
#

ohh right

tender elbow
#

my problem is like this. If the add-on or external program connects to websocket API one does not know if the server is just started or run for a long time so listen to "homeassistant_started" wont be enough. It would be perfect to check for a state. Is this a thing?

cunning wolf
#

I wonder if the different values of the state on the API response would help. If I query /api/config, I get this in the response:
"state": "RUNNING"

#

I don't know what other values are possible.

dark yoke
#

On connect call get_config, in the returned object there is a state @tender elbow

tender elbow
#

Ohh right thanks that is what I am after!!!

weary stratus
#

Could someone help with an issue I'm having with my Mosquitto addon?

#

My network was configured using a seperate IoT VLAN on an old tomatousb router

#

and my Home Assistant is on my main vlan

#

This was working fine

#

and i'm trying to switch to pfsense

#

Everything works, and the old router is just serving an an AP

#

So far so good

#

The AP bridges the Virtual Access Point for my IoTDevices to the IoT VLAN

#

and these are picked up by Mosquitto just fine

#

However, since doing this I'm continuesly having disconnects and reconnects of my devices

#

Now here's the kicker: when I bridge the Virtual IoT access point to my main vlan everything works fine

#

no disconnets, all devices get an IP in the 192.168.2.0 LAN

Hi all, I'm having an issue with Visual Studio Code add-on. I am using the same field, once from a secret file and once "hard coded", and when I use the secret file I get an error. I am going crazy of why this is happening :(
I've uploaded an image, which should explain the situation better. The code works with both configurations.
Any advice or a lead to find the solution would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

cunning wolf
#

I've never seen anyone use a secret as a key name like that. I'm not sure it's actually supported.

#

Key values can use secrets, key names... probably not.

hexed compass
cunning wolf
#

Ah, neat. I haven't come across that before.

#

I guess it's just that VS Code doesn't know how to validate it then?

raven tinsel
#

Yup

#

the vscode YAML language server has quite a hard time to understand custom tags

#

especially on keys πŸ˜‚

hexed compass
#

So I have to live with that error?

cunning wolf
#

Or use the desktop version of VS Code and never see it at all πŸ˜„

raven tinsel
#

@hexed compass You don't have to...

#

πŸ˜‰ You can also choose not to use a secret in that location πŸ˜„

hexed compass
#

But... but... I want to

raven tinsel
#

Don't forget, it is just a VSCode warning/error

hexed compass
#

You also have it?

raven tinsel
#

Yes

hexed compass
#

😱

raven tinsel
#

VSCode is a helper, not the truth πŸ™‚

hexed compass
#

Ok, at least I know I didn't do anything wrong...
And why did you used this config with a secret file?
I didn't fully understood it at first, but then I just thought it's for the order of things, so you have all the "things" in one place

#

Or use the desktop version of VS Code and never see it at all πŸ˜„
@cunning wolf Thanks for the tip

raven tinsel
#

@hexed compass I'm hiding my network map

#

If that is not a concern to you, than πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

hexed compass
#

Why?

raven tinsel
#

Because it provides structure on my network, the devices active there and where to reach them

hexed compass
#

Ok, I don't exactly understand how this can hurt you, but I'm not an expert on networks/security so I'll just accept that

#

Thanks again for the feedback and answer. The community here is awesome, actually better than some paid services. I hope I'll have enough knowledge to help around here one day

@hexed compass Just enjoy the ride 🎒

its a fresh install on a vm so i dont see whats gone wrong

hello, I'm trying to create my first grafana dashboard. From what I've read, one needs to have a data source (such as InfluxDB). However, I'm unsure how to capture the data into InfluxDB. Is there a noob friendly guide using the InfluxDB + Grafana add-ons within the supervised HA?

slow heath
night bluff
#

@slow heath Can't really downgrade - fresh install that never had the prior version... Guess I gotta wait it out 😫

slow heath
#

Do you have an option to uninstall it?

#

If you're able to uninstall, I used a workaround by installing prior version by making a local addon. Seems to be working.

night bluff
#

I can uninstall it... what's the work around?

slow heath
#

@night bluff Locate your addons folders (mine is /usr/share/hassio/addons). Download the previous release of Portainer off Github Portainer addon (https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-portainer/archive/v1.2.0.zip). Move the folder "portainer" inside the zip file into your addons/local folder. Re-start HA/ clear browser cache and you should see a new "local addon" Portainer on addons. Click install and it'll install the previous version.

#

Are there any addons for monitoring web logs via CPanel or anything of sort? Wondering if a way to view stuff stats from a website I own

sly kindle
slow heath
#

Thanks! Interesting there does not seem to be anything of that nature. No hits for CPanel + Home Assistant on Google either. I thought it was pretty popular. No integration or addons

cunning wolf
#

CPanel is incredibly popular. However, it's something you run on your servers, not as a standalone piece of software buried deep within HA.

#

I know everyone's different but my view of add-on's is that they should be HA-related. Why else would you install them in the same place?

#

Unrelated stuff gets installed... somewhere else.

slow heath
#

Yeah, but in the same way we can view our webtraffic stats with adguard, would be nice to view webtraffic (hits/visits/files served) from your website?

#

I've seen some great dashboards in HA and thought that would be of use too. Like the mail delivery integration is neat (photo of mail + packages arriving)

cunning wolf
#

I kinda see where you're coming from but at least AdGuard is something local that people happen to install on an always-on device (their Pi). CPanel isn't really something local.

#

Yeah, integrations are great. They talk to other things and those other things can be anywhere.

#

Add-ons are you running additional software on your HA device.

slow heath
#

Well the mail thing isn't local, right? Just pulls from API from those services

cunning wolf
#

Exactly my point. Integrations are just bits of code that talk to other things, usually running somewhere else.

slow heath
#

Gotcha. Yeah, I guess I figured maybe someone made a CPanel -> HA component already. So no addons. Would need to be requested to be coded as an integration?

cunning wolf
#

That'd be a feature request over on the forums.

#

Though to be honest, I'm not sure how likely it is. You have to log in to a CPanel dash, and then you'd be stuck web scraping whatever you can see. Plus CPanel is highly customisable, so no two dashboards are the same.

slow heath
#

Ahh I was just reading their UAPI or whatever. So I figured you could request info via that

#

I wasn't meaning to bring the whole CPanel dashboard into HA. I just wanted the info of certain logs I guess. Too niche I suppose

cunning wolf
#

People make all kinds of niche components. It's just that no-one's made that one yet.

#

If you're technical, you could check the docs and see what's involved. Otherwise, wait for someone else to make it.

slow heath
#

Not too technical, was patting myself on the back of even being able to navigate an HA install πŸ˜›

soft nest
#

I'm having trouble with the duckdns addon, getting a ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR message. The logs say that it's valid, so idk what the issue is.

#

in configurations:
External URL: http://xxxxxxx.duckdns.org:8123
Internal URL: http://homeassistant.local:8123

boreal bane
#

you don't have any of those doing SSL tho...

#

so what link are you trying to hit with SSL that's giving you an error?

soft nest
#

https://xxxxxxx.duckdns.org:8123

#

also tried that url with https for external url with no success

#

and the duckdns addon is doing ssl

boreal bane
#

and the duckdns addon is doing ssl
yes that's fine but if you don't tell HA about SSL in your URL it won't serve it as SSL

soft nest
#

ohhh

boreal bane
#

so it needs to be in your url

soft nest
#

wait so do i need to edit the yaml?

boreal bane
#

well SSL has a few working parts

#

in the config.yaml you need to specify your SSL cert path

#

then you said you have DuckDNS I assumed you created a cert with lets encrypt in that addon also

soft nest
#

correct

boreal bane
#

so then you need to tell HA to serve https by way of your external link

#

the cert is only valid for your duckdns host name

soft nest
#

so do i need to add this to the config.yaml?

http:
  ssl_certificate: /ssl/fullchain.pem
  ssl_key: /ssl/privkey.pem
boreal bane
#

so you can't use SSL on an IP address without an error

soft nest
#

yes i'm connecting to my duckdns

boreal bane
#

yes you need that in your yaml

soft nest
#

ok imma restart now

#

ty!

boreal bane
#

I have my DNS setup so that my DNS name is valid internally also

#

I dunno why most people don't use it this way.

#

wait I do know, most people do not understand DNS enough to set that up... so disregard my rambling

soft nest
#

lmao

#

ok just waiting for the restart to finish

#

thanks so much @boreal bane! worked :)

boreal bane

no worries at all

midnight harbor
#

Hi all. I am trying to get access to HA from outside my network too.

#

i got duckdns add on and port forwarding setup but doesnt seem to work

#

i port forwarded 443 and 8123 to HA

#

not sure why it is not connecting

sly kindle
midnight harbor
#

yup

sly kindle
#

or are you adding :8123 to the end

#

Are you able to reach it using http:// ? If you are, then you're config has some issue.

midnight harbor
#

i tried with and w/o port number

#

and the http too

#

for port forwarding do i forward incoming 443 to 8123? right now i have it setup port 443 go to HA and a separate rule for 8123

sly kindle
#

443 to 8123, then no :8123 at the end

#

8123 to 8123 then add :8123 to the end

#

So you can't reach the frontend with local_ip:8123 using either http:// or https:// ?

midnight harbor
sly kindle
#

@midnight harbor ok then that means your configuration.yaml is fine

midnight harbor
#

i think the port forwarding is not working properly. i suspect that it is not properly forwarding

sly kindle
#

you said yougotsignal showed 443 was open?

midnight harbor
#

yes and 8123 as well

sly kindle
#

still does?

#

then maybe your ip address for HA is wrong?

#

though, you are connecting to it, so it would seem strange to get it wrong in the router forwarding config

midnight harbor
#

yup

#

both ports are opened

#

i also NGINX running in HA

#

could it be something with that?

sly kindle
#

well...yeah

#

but this is new information

#

lol

#

man it's too hot for this topic today

midnight harbor
#

i can try to disable it

sly kindle
#

nginx would mean 443 to 443 and 80 to 80

can someone clarify the yaml format for authorized_keys: for ssh? I get invalid yaml format notification at the bottom. SSH addon. And the example ```authorized_keys:

  • ssh-rsa AKDJD3839...== my-key
    password: ''``` isn't helping me.
pearl sentinel
#

Has anyone used MotionEye? I can't seem to connect my camera to it. I made it a static IP and forwarded port 80 to it but I have no idea what to put in the username and password fields.

viscid orchid
#

@outer willow That seems about right, but it gets reformatted for me as:

outer willow
#

@viscid orchid reformatted? Are you using a linter?

viscid orchid
outer willow
#

I lifted my example right from the documentation. Maybe that needs updated?

viscid orchid
#

No, if I recall correctly, adding it as you did makes it reformat on a save

sly kindle
#

yeah the > would get added

midnight harbor
viscid orchid
#

You may have extra chars or non-ascii chars in there

outer willow
#

@viscid orchid I'm not gettting it.

#

do I keep or kill the square brackets from the default entry ( I thought keep).

viscid orchid
#

remove. that just means an empty list

#

mine looks like this:

#
authorized_keys:
  - >-
    ssh-rsa
    AA........3/tufy+KXuPWJ73S7l33xcwcArw==
    rcoleman@rcoleman-rmbp.local
#

with some space between ssh-rsa and the start of the key and some space after the key and before rcoleman@...

#

if you kept the [], that's your problem

#

you need to give it a real list

outer willow
#

no just one problem all the returns were missing from the documentation.

sly kindle
#

I think you just need to hit enter at the end of authorized_keys: then two spaces, then the hyphen, then one space, then paste your key. It will reformat when you hit save

#

Lemme try mine

outer willow
#

the ssh-rsa seems to need to be on a separate line.

#

thanks for clearing it up!

viscid orchid
#

it's kinda obnoxiously long and includes spaces, so it taxes the parser and human brains

sly kindle
#

hmm

#

I got red. Then I added a password option below the key in place of []

#

and then it took my authorized key and reformatted it

viscid orchid
#

I copied it with ssh-rsa and the user/machine id on separate lines and pasted it right after the -, hit save, and it worked

sly kindle
#

oh it should have been password: '' and not password: []

viscid orchid
#

right

Thanks to @slow heath who was kind enough to tell me how to install the previous version of Portainer!
This got me to the point I could get HomeBridge installed on my HASS-Pi and after some google-fu to figure out what I was doing wrong as far as using the host network was concerned - I now have a fully functioning HomeBridge Controller running that I was able to add my Rinnai Touch plug-in to. Now all I need is the delivery guy to bring it to me so I can automate my HVAC at home via HomeAssistant!!! πŸ˜ƒ

Hi all. My Duck DNS doesn't create the ssl keys. I don't see them in my finder - config lets_encrypt:
accept_terms: false
certfile: fullchain.pem
keyfile: privkey.pem
token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
domains:

boreal bane
#

they should be in /ssl/

#

it's technically let's encrypt that does the SSL in the DuckDNS addon πŸ˜„

weary stratus
#

It seems like I can only see the config folder of Hass io, I can't go up to see the SSL one.

boreal bane
#

have you set your http: config?

weary stratus
#

I've only set the DuckDNS config, and I started it, now i'm checking the logs to see if the files get created. Logs just say that nothing has changed and it returns my IP

boreal bane
#

well you need to set the http: section in your config

sly kindle
#

@weary stratus you are looking at config in finder?

weary stratus
#

I am

#

explorer actually ahah

sly kindle
#

ok so samba

#

you should be able to enter \\your_local_ip and see all the folders

#

enter that in the file explorer address bar

weary stratus
#

thanks. Did the job!

#

The SSL folder is there with the keys.

#

So I must do something wrong in my port forwarding or in my config.yaml file.

sly kindle
#

yeah. the addon rarely fails to grab the cert files πŸ™‚

#

and if it did it would show that in the addon logs

#

what is in your config for http: ?

Log file says this :; 2020-08-18 19:16:58 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.http] The 'base_url' option is deprecated, please remove it from your configuration

sly kindle
#

yes

#

you can remove that

#

can you share the code with formatting and include a line or two from directly above or below it?

dense spadeBOT
sly kindle
#

ok looks good. just go ahead and remove the base_url line

weary stratus
#

Done

sly kindle
#

save it, restart HA. Then check port forwarding

#

Are you forwarding 443 to 8123?

#

for the HA ip address?

weary stratus
#

I don't.

#

I was forwarding 80 to 80 - 443 to 443

sly kindle
#

that would be for an nginx setup

weary stratus
#

So external is 443?

sly kindle
#

for a simple duckdns setup it's 443 to 8123 or 8123 to 8123

#

yeah external 443 to internal 8123

weary stratus
#

I can still acces Hass in my finder, but I can't access the duckdns site

sly kindle
#

try https://local_ip:8123

#

you should see a warning

weary stratus
#

I see!

#

That worked

sly kindle
#

click to advance past the warning

#

so ssl config is good

#

the rest is about your router

#

check that 443 is open with yougetsignal or another port checking site

weary stratus
#

Should I add port triggering, or virtual servers in my router settings?

sly kindle
#

nope

#

is 443 open there?

#

and/or 8123

weary stratus
#

both are closed on my rpi IP adress

sly kindle
#

you have a screenshot of your router forwarding settings?

weary stratus
#

I have, but I can't paste it here

cunning wolf
#

This is where you find out you're behind a CGNAT.

sly kindle
#

you can link to imgur or some such

dark yoke
#

Looks fine as long as you are not behing CGNAT and tp-link don't reserve 443

weary stratus
#

It's a TP link archer C7

cunning wolf
#

I'm using a TP-Link with the same firmware and 443 is fine.

#

Looks likely to be an ISP limitation.

weary stratus
#

So my config is fine?

sly kindle
#

looks good

#

who is your isp?

weary stratus
#

Proximus, Belgium

#

I see. Port 443 is blocked

cunning wolf
#

Uh oh

#

Is port 8123 open? You can use HTTPS over any port you like, it just means you must always specify the port number in your requests.

sly kindle
cunning wolf
#

😦

#

We have ourselves another Nabu Casa subscriber!

weary stratus
#

It's telenet, wups my bad..

#

When I use port 8123 on my rpi IP I get acces to the hass io page

#

Port 443 is’t blocked..

#

According to my isp

sly kindle
#

When I use port 8123 on my rpi IP I get acces to the hass io page
locally, you mean?

weary stratus
#

I think so? I use 192.168.1.103, so yes.

sly kindle
#

ok so that doesn't help with remote, other than we know your http: config is correct

weary stratus
#

Okay.. I should try to open port 443 it iss ?

sly kindle
#

that's what your forwarding settings should be doing. Did you reboot the router just in case?

weary stratus
#

I did. Still closed.

#

There’s no way around remote acces?

slow heath
#

@night bluff Glad it worked!! Enjoy! Lots of people having that issue. Thought a fix would be issued quicker, but I guess until then we have to install previous version.

cunning wolf
#

There’s no way around remote acces?
@weary stratus Nabu Casa.

#

If you can't configure your router or your ISP blocks ports, that's pretty much your only option.

How do I configure Motioneye ptz Buttons for a Wyze ptz (running the rtsp firmware)? Motioneye is running in Hass.io on IP 192.168.0.221 and the camera in question is on 192.168.0.229.
I can now see the "Arrow" buttons on the UI, but nothing happens when using them.
These "Configuration" settings don't work:

So why doesn't the samba add-on work? What am I supposed to put for the configuration for it to work? It looks the problem is part of an ipv6 address

boreal bane
#

it works, I use it often.

#

and who knows what you need to put in for it to work, if we don't know what you have there now

dense drum
#

What fields need to be changed upon installation for it to work?

boreal bane
#

ok let's try this again, how about you share what you have now

dense drum
#

It says not a valid value for dictionary value at data

dense spadeBOT
dense drum
#

its the default values

#

idk what it just did with it

#

i changed one of the ip ranges to my range and then changed the interface to eth0 but its just giving me an error and if i remove the weird ipv6 looking thing it just keeps giving me an error so id

#

idk

boreal bane
#

don't change any of the ranges

dense drum
#

i didnt originally

boreal bane
#

just change workgroup: username: password:

#

to your workgroup

#

and desired login details

dense drum
#

the workgroup is workgroup and i was trying to just leave it blank but it wont run in HA

#

im just gonna stop it when im done configuring it anyway

boreal bane
#

then set a password

#

leaving samba running is a good idea if you do something dumb and lock yourself out tho

#

take it from me

dense drum
#

do you need quotes or something bc its not working

boreal bane
#

no you don't need quotes

#

you keep saying you have "an error" and "its not working" but could you please show an error?

dense drum
#

how do i post pictures

dense spadeBOT
#

Please use imgur or other image sharing web sites, and share the link here.

dense drum
#

isnt it supposed to light up instead of being greyed out when running?

boreal bane
#

what does the log say for the 5th time

dense drum
#

it didnt say jack

#

it just wasnt lit up but now it is

boreal bane
#

did you click refresh on the log page?

dense drum
#

i still dont see it but idk if its cuz windows 10 blows

#

i installed this like 15 minutes ago i have no idea

boreal bane
#

you have no idea if you clicked refresh on the log page for the samba addon?

dense drum
#

i had no idea what it was

#

it says no issues but i dont see it on windows

#

let me try by ip

boreal bane
#

πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

dense drum
#

What? I installed this 15 minutes ago how TF am I supposed to know

#

Also I didn't realize I needed a password

#

But if it's password Ed I might as well leave it on

#

Thanks I think I can figure out hacs from here

dense drum
#

so i stuck hacs in this folder via samba and restarted it twice but it doesnt show up

#

\192.168.1.106\config\custom_components

#

its in a folder called hacs i like it said to do

#

what do i even do with the token from github

viscid orchid
#

there are instrucions...

dense drum
#

so i reloaded all the customizations and restarted it again after deleting the hacs folder and adding it again but i still cant find hacs or hubitat under integration when i hit the add circle up top

#

i followed the instructions and added it to the folder

viscid orchid
#

I recommend that you take this to the HACS server. it doesn't belong in #add-ons-archived

boreal bane
#

yes your addon samba is now working

dense drum
#

umm ok

#

do u know if this is the correct folder on the samba? config\custom_components

viscid orchid
dense drum
#

huh

#

so just for reference for someone else whose like tarded i cleared my cache and history and it didnt work so i just uses another browser. chrome must keep something or something. idk

Hey guys. So I set up an AWS VPS for the sole purpose to create a wireguard VPN tunnel between the VPS and my home server. Did this because I can't open any ports on my ISP supplied router. I got the VPN working. But my question is this:
I have the HA nginx proxy manager add-on running, should I migrate that over to the VPS or just forward the ports needed to the add-on?

Hello, I recently moved my HA from a Pi to a dedicated VM. I would always have trouble with the Jupiter Labs add-on, and I was hoping that maybe moving could have fixed it. But when I installed it and loaded up the web ui, it still had errors from the cells that I had run a long time ago. Is there a way to get a true uninstall and reinstall of add ons?

Is it possible to have Grafana use light/dark theme from HA?

added ports and all

spark heron
#

@patent copper
so i assume i add my duckdns to the External URL

patent copper
#

Yes

spark heron
#

Thanks

patent copper
#

Not 100% sure it fixes your issue, but base_url is deprecated. DonΒ΄t you get a warning in the logs?

spark heron
#

yeah

#

I'm really new so duckdns so just following tutorials based on youtube

patent copper
#

ItΒ΄s the way to get started! πŸ˜‰

spark heron
#

I assume i put my url + port?

patent copper
#

Not if you use Nginx....

#

https://xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx.duckdns.org

dense spadeBOT
#

@spark heron Videos are great to watch but are usually out of date QUICK.... Best to read the DOCS

cunning wolf
#

πŸ˜‰

#

They're so notoriously bad that there's a bot command about them.

patent copper
#

But, videos was the way I got it going 3,5 years ago....

spark heron
#

i find it easier to listen than to read

#

url still won't load T_T

patent copper
#

Your external url?

spark heron
#

yeah 😦

patent copper
#

How have you set up Nginx?

#

No errors from Nginx?

spark heron
#

i dont think i have ... so i added url port

patent copper
#

OK

#

You have set up port forwarding in your router?

spark heron
#

hmm i thought i did but it seems to be gone -.-

cunning wolf
#

No matter how much you prefer videos, listening to bad information is always going to be worse than reading good information πŸ˜‰

patent copper
#

Indeed!

cunning wolf
#

Get your port forwarding sorted, then explain your problem if you're still stuck.

#

All I've seen so far is 'it's not working', without explaining what's not working.

spark heron
#

For port forwarding I'm right to assume LocalPort is 8123 and public port is 443?

#

O WOW I WORKED

#

I WORKED IT!

#

i thought i was saving port forwarding but port was already used for call of duty so had t odelete it

cunning wolf
#

Games usually don't need port forwarding. Let UPNP handle that.

spark heron
#

Don't know how safe this is... so i think i'll remove it all when i get back from holiday

cunning wolf
#

It's as safe as you want to make it. nginx is a reverse proxy - many, many large businesses use it as their way of controlling ingress on their networks.

spark heron
#

ah so its worth using nginx

cunning wolf
#

If you know how

spark heron
#

Im sure home assistant tells me if anyone attempts to login

cunning wolf
#

There's more to it than just turning it on... but the possibilities are endless.

spark heron
#

(with wrong password)

cunning wolf
#

Yeah, HA itself has autoban stuff if people try to log in too many times.

#

That won't help block a distributed attack though.

spark heron
#

worst case scenerio i login

#

and just shutdown pi through terminal

cunning wolf
#

Worst case scenario is you don't notice until they're in and have already broken everything and stolen your personal details.

spark heron
#

haha that is worse than mine

cunning wolf
#

It might never happen... but you should take sensible (but not paranoid) precautions.

spark heron
#

andddddd now im spooked!

#

gonna look into nginx

cunning wolf
#

You might even be able to check what headers and things HA uses and set those as rules.

spark heron
#

well this is awkard

#

I do have NGINX Home Assistant SSL Proxy add on installed....

#

Hey all. does anyone know if you can remotely connect to the NUT addon on port 3493

#

I previously uses raspian on my pi with NUT natively installed and could access the NUT server over my network on my second Homeassistant server. Now using homeassistant supervisor, I installed the HA NUT addon and it works 100% from my Pi, but i can't telnet to the 3493 port

#

ah, nevermind. misunderstood the network settings under configuration. Default is actually "disabled" and I had to go type in the default port

sturdy sluice
#

Has anyone attempted to use the Jupyter add-on with pyscript from the supervisor add-on? I'm having some difficulty getting it to work. I had to symlink the pyscript kernel to the /share/jupyter/kernels to /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels. It also seems as if pyscript uses python3.7 while the jupyter-lite comes with 3.6. I attemped the following config:

  - python3-pip
  - python3.7
init_commands:
  - python3.7 -m pip install setuptools
  - python3.7 -m pip install zmq
  - python3.7 -m pip install requests
  - ln -s /share/jupyter/kernels/pyscript /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels```
#

So far this stops any further errors from occuring when I attempt to use the pyscript kernel, but all it will do in the notebook or console is sit there until a timeout occurs:

#

Timeout waiting for kernel_info_reply:

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/mqtt/testing/ these docs seem to be outdated, specifically the following -

Another way to send MQTT messages by hand is to use the β€œDeveloper Tools” in the Frontend. Choose the β€œMQTT” tab. Enter something similar to the example below into the β€œTopic” field.

My HASSIO install doesn't have a MQTT tab.. How would I accomplish this in the current version?

#

Ahh, I see now. Thank you

patent copper
#

Is there any way a an automation can now if an addon is running or not? And wait/continue based on an addon's status? How does addons let HA know its current state?

dark yoke
#

Usually no, you can use the supervisor API to check if the addon is running, but running != working/ready.
Only way would be if the addon has an API you can check, but that is not a addon thing, you need to look at the documentation for the software running inside the addon

patent copper
#

Ouch....

#

I am trying to set something up that can stop the MariaDB addon before creating a snapshot since not stopping it results in a corrupted backup of the DB.

#

But it is not very much hope it seems..

dark yoke
#

You can check for stopped with the supervisor API, but not really running/working

patent copper
#

stopped/started would be OK I think.... Maybe put some margins in there with a delay....

dark yoke
patent copper
#

Great start! Thanks!

patent copper
#

Which channel would be apropriate for API questions?

cunning wolf
#

The API of what?

patent copper
#

HA I suppose?

#

No, sorry.... The supervisor!

cunning wolf
sly kindle
#

That's an internal API, like the ips on the internal docker network

#

For add-ons to use

patent copper
#

So, there is no API to get the state of an addon for HA?

dark yoke
#

There is? It's even documented in that MD file

It requires authorisation.

#

You're probably getting back a 401 and no body at the moment. Specify the headers it needs.

#

Ah, you have... but what format does your secret have?

patent copper
#

I beleive it is correct...?
llt: BEARER AABBCCDD

#

Maybe there should be qoutes around that string?

cunning wolf
#

Bearer tokenGoesHere

#

There's usually no quotes in header values... but I'm fairly certain 'Bearer' is case-sensitive.

#

It's how the server knows you're about to include a JWT.

Let me try!

Hi!
I made a zone in my house. Is there a way to detect when a phone (that doesn't have HA installed on it) enters and leaves that zone?

cunning wolf
#

It's more of an #integrations-archived question but there are several ways to tell when device is nearby. nmap, ping, bluetooth_le_tracker, etc.

pearl sentinel
#

Oh. Thank you! I can ask there

#

What is nmap?

pearl sentinel

From that page:

Running with Home Assistant OS
You can install room-assistant as Home Assistant OS add-on by adding the following URL as repository:

#

OK. I installed RA but I don't see anything in lovelace or the sidebar

pearl sentinel
#

Now that I have RA in HA, what do I do?

cunning wolf
#

Do you have it running in multiple rooms in your house?

pearl sentinel
#

I only have one Pi atm

#

Which is in the living room

cunning wolf
#

So you're not going to get much benefit out of RA, since it won't know which room a device is in.

#

But now you have information in MQTT about the devices it's tracking.

pearl sentinel
#

But should I pi zero and put it on the other side of the house?

cunning wolf
#

It depends what you want to do. If you just want to know when someone is home, monitor is great.

#

If you want to check which room a device is in, you'll need a Pi Zero in every room πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

pearl sentinel
#

Oooh.

cunning wolf
#

RA doesn't know which room you're in unless it has multiple instances to check. It works by checking which instance has the best signal for a device.

pearl sentinel
#

Oh, I see

#

So then I really don't need to worry about all the ESP and ESPHome stuff, do I?

#

As long as the two Pis are on the same SSID, it should work?

boreal bane
#

it's gonna monitor Bluetooth

pearl sentinel
#

right but how do I ultimately know what room a certain device is in?

#

Do the two Room Assistants (one in the living room and one in the bedroom) talk to each other?

Hey Im using the nginx reverse ssl proxy addon and for a couple months now it hasnt been working properly and im not sure why. When every I try log in via my domain name it takes me into the login page where it asks for my username and then my password and after it takes my 2fa code. After that it never logs onto the page and times out and when i press retry it takes me back to the log in page.
I've seen this behavior on 2 computers and if I do the ip directly it works fine. On my phone using domain name it works fine. I've tried reset all information for the domain but that hasnt helped.

when u installed adguard home can i acces it via home assistant in the menu bar but can you also acces it with an ip so direct to adguard ?

#

?

sonic shell
#

hey this may seem like a basic Question here.. but....
in the official samba addon, in the configuations, under the heading allow hosts hosts/networks allowed to access the shared folders. i presume this is where we enter IPs of devices that you want to allow access to this?
so in the example/default thats given 192.168.0.0/16 what is the /16 referring to ?

#

OK... after a bit of realisation, this isn't for other devices, this is for hosts that the Addon is installed onto? (so docker/Hassio/network adatpter)
but im still not sure on what the /16 is referring ? is this a network type? or bit ?

viscid orchid
#

netmask

sonic shell
#

netmask ok .. looking on my logs. they all 255, or 0 ?

#

added interface docker0 ip=172.17.0.1 bcast=172.17.255.255 netmask=255.255.0.0

viscid orchid
#

you don't want to specify anything on the docker network for that. You want a netmask that specifies which machines on your LAN should have access

#

it looks like mine does have a 172.16.0.0/12, but I think it's just allowing all non-routable addresses

#
allow_hosts:
  - 10.0.0.0/8
  - 172.16.0.0/12
  - 192.168.0.0/16
  - 'fe80::/10'
#

just leave it as the default unless you have reason to do otherwise

sonic shell
#

yeah thats the default list that.. so the 192.168.0.0/16 is really allowing any 192.168.x.x ip thats on your LAN ?

#

that sounds like a better plan ! will revert to default see if that sorts it... i was over thinking it !

#

still nothing showing up in my win10 PC .. hmmm

torn seal
#

I don't know if it is a solution for this, but you might be able to connect by entering the ip address with two backslashes like \192.168.1.120

im using rp3
grafana and influxdb is installed using add ons

ok, so what did you use as your hostname in grafana for influx?

#

Should likely be core-influxdb or similar ?

I'm making a guess you've got localhost or something simialr ?

hi! i have homeassistant installed on a raspberry, can't access it with localy with a computer. I installed duckdns on it with the phone, but cant configure the yaml it gives error. So i would like to configure the yaml from duckdns directly on the hassos command lines but cant find any info about how to do that. any help ?

Hi, I recently installed Custom Header through HACS so that I could give limited access to my kids but when they login, the first thing they see if the main Lovelace and then they have to click on their names to get to their individual dashboards.

I realized that I can make the default dashboard empty and then just have everyone click on their desired dashboard but is there any way that I can make it so that when someone logs in, s/he is automatically directed to his/her dashboard?

hi, can you get the addon store on docker?

opaque rivet
#

@pearl sentinel you could set the default dashboard on their phones within their profile

pearl sentinel
#

Oh, cool! Thanks!

#

Or maybe get some automation done by using the β€žUsername Elementβ€œ from HACS - Frontend

#

This can display the logged in user and I think with some code u could get an automation to navigate to a special page

Hi, I am using duckdns and secure login settings. At this time I can access my HA locally and from outside using duckdns link. But if i duckdns is down or if i wish to login using local IP addres:8123.

How can I get that access back without disabling https?

#

I need to figure this as I am moving to different house and I want to be able to login to front end to fix anything in case the HA fails to go online for some reason.

Hi folks. I'd like to replace my google home with a pi running almond/hey ada but I'm a bit confused about all of the add-ons and integrations. If you have the ada add on do you still need almond?

#

Also, once I get this running, is there a tidy way to run this on another pi in another room?

wary shard
#

@limber cedar as far as i know, u cant. because it will be encrypted. maybe u can try to use enginx + duck dns for that

#

so for local access u will access access locally but when u are outside, u can access using duckdns link

You're right, ZigBee isn't intended for high bandwidth applications like cameras. That's one of the cases where your best options will be WiFi or wired.

All: I've got a RP4, and an Aeotec stick. I've installed Home Assistant and it is running. How do I know if my Aeotec stick is working or not? Is there somewhere in Home Assistant it would show?

Alternatively, how do I try connecting my locks to it? I bought some Z-wave locks I am hoping to automate. When I search Aeotec or Zwave the instructions don't really cover either of those on the website.

So, this might be a silly question but I'm running HA in a Docker Container on my RPi 4 (8gb) using Raspbian as the on-metal OS. Does it make sense to install something like PiHole and PiVPN on Raspbian or as add-ons for HA?

I see that there's a WireGuard add-on for HA

Hmm. Sorry about the repeat. I'm not sure how that happened.

cunning wolf
#

Are you using a supervised version of HA? If not, you can't use add-ons.

#

But add-ons themselves are just apps in Docker containers... so you can run them yourself. All supervisor is doing is maintaining the containers for you.

Yes, I am

I'm not 100% on installation methods... but the container one says it doesn't support add-ons 😐

does anyone know if there are any limitations to IFTTT doing a POST to a webhook URL that is behind SSL? I can see from my logs that when I trigger the IFTTT activity, my server is receiving the request made on the specific webhook URL, and it is a 200 (OK) status. However HA doesn't appear to do anything. Are there any HA logs I can trace to see whats going on?

Hey all! Still kinda new to homeassistant
Basically I want to create some custom RGB lamps to connect to a Philips Hue 'Entertainment Area'. Is the diyHue project the way to go or is there a different homeassistant add-on equivelant that could do the same?
https://www.instructables.com/id/Reactive-Pixel-Lamps/
This is essentially what I'm trying to replicate

#

Just dont want to run another pi for diyHue haha

slow heath
#

But also nothing is stopping you from running diyHue with HA on same Pi? Are you using Supervised install?

mystic topaz
#

I installed using the image on the website

#

how could I go about doing that?

slow heath
#

Do you have "Supervisor" option under Developer Tools on your menu?

mystic topaz
#

yes sir

slow heath
#

Cool, so you can add the add-on I linked above by adding a new store

#

If you're asking how to install diyHue, the best way is using Docker

#

Oh I see, since you flashed the image you are not able to install on the host system outside of what HA does. You would need to do a Supervised installation. Or try the add-on I linked above to see if it works for you now.

mystic topaz
#

trying that add-on now, thanks! Didnt know you could add repositories haha, just figured that out

slow heath
#

Just make sure you're not running DuckDNS and nginx add-ons as well. They use the ports needed by the hue one (80, 443)

mystic topaz
#

hmmm the addon doesnt seem to want to install

slow heath
#

it takes a bit because of compiling. did it work?

mystic topaz
#

not exactly. I managed to "pair" the HA bridge to the Hue app but I cant configure anything because it says the Bridge has an update available

#

which of course fails because its not actually a hue hub haha

slow heath
#

Oh so again it wasn't updated. I had that issue before and then dev updated it in April.

mystic topaz
#

aha! lemme try that

#

Ill set it to what my actual bridge is

mystic topaz
#

how would I find that config file to edit? My samba share just shows the addons folder to be empty

slow heath
#

I think you would need to edit that file via SSH

#

once you're logged in try: find / -name hue_api.py

#

then you can find the location of the file to edit

#

not sure if the File Editor add-on (from add-on store) would see that file, but that's another way to try

mystic topaz
#

file editor only seems to let me access the Config folder

slow heath
#

Option: enforce_basepath (required)
If set to true, access is limited to files within the /config directory.

#

disable this in config and try to navigate out

mystic topaz
#

ahh

#

oh boy... not to dig through these and try and find it haha

slow heath
#

yeah, sorry, i don't know how to search within hassio. maybe hassio CLI can help?

#

another addon haha

mystic topaz
#

tried through ssh and it also just shows the addons directory to be empty

#

and find returns nothing

#

ive tried instead manually installing the emulated_hue plugin into the custom components folder but it just wont register it on boot

slow heath
#

did you put it into local folder?

mystic topaz
#

still didnt get it, but now the app just straight up doesnt want to pair to the bridge anymore so thats a bigger issue

slow heath
#

to the real bridge?

mystic topaz
#

no to the virtual one

slow heath
#

probably just can try to reset bridge and force close app to start fresh

mystic topaz
#

thats what im doing now

#

yeah nope the push-link screen just times out

#

searches and finds the bridge, I click Connect, then accept the link through the HA notification and nothing happens until the timer times out

slow heath
#

and it connected before further, yeah?

mystic topaz
#

yeah it linked before but couldnt do anything since it was just prompting for update

#

but now it wont link at all, even after reinstalling and rebuilding the addon, restarting HA

slow heath
#

i had this issue with diyhue and thought it was something on my end because i tried to pair it with different settings multiple times. it eventually just stopped finding it

#

i wonder if there's some artificial limit set to how often you can pair/try to pair

#

by hue app, not these addons

mystic topaz
#

hmm

slow heath
#

try to sync using the desktop sync app

mystic topaz
#

I tried rebooting my phone as well

slow heath
#

desktop hue app i mean

mystic topaz
#

the addons log shows a request being made, but the app says No bridge found

#

oop ok I managed to get that connected by manually entering the IP

#

doesnt work when I try from the mobile app though

slow heath
#

so weird. even if you uninstall app?

mystic topaz
#

yup nothing

#

aha! finally got it again

#

now back to the update issue... lol

slow heath
#

how'd you fix the issue?

#

not the update one i mean

mystic topaz
#

idk I just kinda kept attempting the manual way

slow heath
#

brute force pairing. nice

mystic topaz
#

lol

mystic topaz
#

hm... I did notice an error actually on HA boot from the addon

#

well I submitted a PR to the github repo with the version change. Hopefully theyll just merge is asap

slow heath
#

were you able to find the file to edit the version at least?

mystic topaz
#

not on my setup no, I just requested the swversion edit directly to the github so if an update gets pushed I wont have to do anything lol

slow heath
#

πŸ˜„

mystic topaz
#

got the patched version of the addon installed now... now gotta re-attempt brute forcing again. LOL

#

been at it for 10 mins now

#

ugh it works on the first try every time from the Hue Sync app on Windows but the app just refuses to accept the link

#

btw found the location of file, guessing you did too?

Hi Hoping the brains trust can help me out.. Having problem with HASSIo and letsencrypt.. Using no-ip as the DNS provider.

    certfile: fullchain.pem
    keyfile: privkey.pem
    challenge: http

router is port forwarded 80-->8123 and can get to lovelace from url

#

actually just checking maybe emulated hue is using that port.

mystic topaz
#

yes hue uses 80

tardy sonnet
#

yeah.. disabled that and made some progress

mystic topaz
#

btw found the location of file, guessing you did too?
I got the file updated by just rebuilding a newer local version of the plugin but gave up trying to brute force the link lol. Gonna try again tomorrow

tardy sonnet
#

at least the addon is trying to start now.. but getting another error

#

have to wait another hour now cos letsencrypt rate limits apparently

#

but was basically saying 404 error on .well_known

#

whats the Yaml http section supposed to look like for this?

tardy sonnet
#

Sorted it.. Like everything with HA a bit of persistence..

#

Can move onto what I actually wanted to do now which was the google home integration

boreal bane
#

Letsencrypt needs port 80 to verify if you set http verification

tardy sonnet
#

yeah got that sorted now.. had to disable emulated hue then it started up and have the ports forwarded correctly.

#

Google assistant doco looks quite outdated.

boreal bane
#

ok but you're going to run into problems when let'sencrypt needs to update....

tardy sonnet
#

I think I should be ok.. Il just open port 80 again and it should renew ok shouldnt it?

#

got 3 months to worry about that anyways

boreal bane
#

as long as you remember to, yeah 90 days

#

ask me how I'm so intimately aware of this issue πŸ˜›

tardy sonnet
#

yeah A preemptive renew would be nice instead of waiting for it to expire

#

as long as you didnt have your locks to the house connected up πŸ˜‰

boreal bane
#

I don't

#

physical security is never something I'd trust to home automation

#

at least not entirely, if I had a smart lock on a door it would have a regular lock in addition to it πŸ˜‰

tardy sonnet
#

Might put a google calender reminder in and have the addon scripted to start up. Not hugely keen on keeping port 80 open though

boreal bane
#

I just left it open and have fail2ban

#

I don't even get many hits

#

because I just blocked as many China IP's as I could find

I get maybe 1 or 2 failed attempts a week.

that's nothing man LOL

Hi all. I'm on a RPi 3b+ with 32GB SD-card and quite standard setup and hassio.io/hassos. Recent weeks I've had big problems with my HA malfunctioning and it seems the main reason is very high memory usage. After a restart or reboot it seems ok, but after a day or so it is up to 100% on both swap and ram. Web interface hangs and basically everything else (samba, ssh) and sometimes a power cycle is necessary, other times it comes back by itself. It looks to me that my influxdb addon is the one causing this. Not saying there's something wrong with it, perhaps my system is not powerful enough to run all of it. I read on the forum that someone had success with a env_var called store-enabled = true which reduced both cpu and memory usage. Anyone had any success with this? Is it possible by editing env_var in setup? Any other tip to reduce the memory footprint of influxdb or should I just go for an upgrade to NUC or something straight away?

You can restore whichever addons you want from your snapshot, you don't have to restore the whole thing.

I thought that I can't add more than 15 lines of code. Also the animated gif is a dead link

#

you posted unformatted code above, and this will help people help you in the future

#

in any case, that error looks like a room assistant issue

pearl sentinel
#

Ah, Thank you!

#

It's not an MQTT issue?

#

Is this the right channel for RA issues?

viscid orchid
#

I'm talking about this part:

#
/opt/nodejs/lib/node_modules/room-assistant/node_modules/config/lib/config.js:18                                        2
    throw new Error('Configuration property "' + property + '" is not defined');
    ^

Error: Configuration property "global.integrations" is not defined
    at Config.get (/opt/nodejs/lib/node_modules/room-assistant/node_modules/conf

oh

viscid orchid
#

seems like something is broken on your Pi0, but Google is failing me as to what it might be

pearl sentinel
#

I see

#

Do you know why I can't connect to the broker using MQTT.fx in windows?

viscid orchid
#

no

pearl sentinel
#

I tried a few other things and nothing seems to be able to connect to the MQTT broker

viscid orchid
#

installed and tried and I'm definitely not a fan of that app

#

MQTT Explorer seems vastly superior (and not Java)

#

anyway, it connects to my MQTT broker just fine

pearl sentinel
#

Ok. I'll install MQTT Explorer

#

Thanks!

viscid orchid
#

I'm getting rid of that thing posthaste

pearl sentinel
#

What thing?

viscid orchid
#

mqtt.fx

cunning wolf
#

MQTT Explorer is awesome. I always recommend it.

pearl sentinel
#

Oh

viscid orchid
#

me too

cunning wolf
#

The easily navigable tree view is sweet.

viscid orchid
#

yep

#

mqtt.fx is...not that

cunning wolf
#

Viewing/comparing message history is neat too.

viscid orchid
#

anyway, Ronan we'd need to know what it tells you when you say you can't connect

pearl sentinel
#

OK. Thanks!

#

I'm trying to install MQTT Explorer now

#

I'm having some trouble finding the installation instructions through home assistant though

viscid orchid
#

for what?

pearl sentinel
#

To install MQTT Explorer

#

Oh wait, it's not a broker?

cunning wolf
#

It's just a viewer...

pearl sentinel
#

πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

cunning wolf

You'll still be using Mosquitto as your broker. Everything will connect to Mosquitto.

Your link is asking for a login. You probably made it private.

#

Wait, the bot shared the same link. Don't post codewalls like that again please.

Sorry

cunning wolf
#

And I don't know what you're trying to show us with that 60 lines of numbers.

#

Where's that from?

pearl sentinel
#

I copied it from MQTT Explorer

cunning wolf
#

Ok. We don't need number spam. You got connected to your broker, which is the important bit.

pearl sentinel
#

Ah. Great!

cunning wolf
#

You're trying to get Room Assistant working, right? Can RA talk to your broker?

pearl sentinel
#

Do you mean the Room Assistant running as an add-on in my HA Supervisor or the RA running remotely on the Pi0?

cunning wolf
#

Either. I don't know what you've got working and what you haven't πŸ˜‰
