Yeah, I'm having this conversation with him right now..

weak bay
#

Can you use HA secrets in addons?

sly kindle
#

@weak bay yes

weak bay
#

I have password: !secret password but when saving the config it puts quotes around the line

sly kindle
#

yeah

weak bay
#

I think its still borked. Windows might be trying to use credentials that i did not explicitly tell it to save.

#

Its "currently mapped" but I cant see it in explorer

#

Found it removed it. Tried using the new credentials but windows says mapped. Cant even find it using net use

#

Im trying to set up the samba addon. should it be?: Folder: \\x.x.x.x\config

#

Seems to be I needed to log out of my windows account. So its solved now.

If I'm running HA on a Pi4, is it possible to run InfluxDB + Grafana on an always on Windows 7 machine on the same network? I'd like the data, but I'm concerned about the performance of the Pi.

Guys, any idea how to add timestamp to a notification message?? im using:

#

data_template:
message: 'The washing machine finished at {{ states.sensor.time.state }}. Move the laundry over!'
title: "Laundry Done"

#

but get no time in the notification when it comes through

@empty bluff grafana is perfectly fine when run on the pi, its more about influxdb which works better on x86 as you mentioned. yes, this is possible

So, my HACS is without add-ons, I suppose it's because I'm running HA in docker on ubuntu server. Can I install ESPHome and how? Not very experienced on the latter.

cunning wolf
#

Also, if you chose an installation method that doesn't include the Supervisor, you don't have addons.

summer snow
#

Ok, is there a way around it, or a way I can integrate ESPHome without supervisor?

summer snow
cunning wolf
#

If you read Ludeeus' links, you'll see that you don't need an add-on to use ESPHome devices. They 'just work'.

#

The add-on is to manage the config/updates of the devices... but honestly, I'd recommend doing that from a real computer, not from your HA host.

dark yoke
cunning wolf
#

If you want to go the route of connecting your ESP devices to your server and compiling on there every time you need to make a change.

#

After the initial setup, you can do OTA updates anyway, meaning it's often easier to just do it from your main computer.

summer snow
cunning wolf
#

Do you have advanced mode enabled?

summer snow
#

I'll have a go on the links Ludeeus provided

cunning wolf
#

Well what's your goal? Just to get your ESPHome devices talking to HA? Or to do all management from your HA instance?

summer snow
#

advanced mode is enabled

#

the first one

dark yoke
#

You are missing the repository that has it https://github.com/hassio-addons/repository

cunning wolf
#

Then you don't need the addon at all.

#

If you add that to your config for the device, it'll just talk to HA.

Hi all.
Is this the right place to ask about the OpenZWave addon?
Looking for a way to change the resolution it opens embedded in Ingress

viscid orchid
#

I don't think you can. You'd be better off using the desktop ozw-admin app anyway

I keep getting this error in my log:
MySQLdb._exceptions.IntegrityError: (1452, 'Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (`homeassistant`.`states`, CONSTRAINT `states_ibfk_2` FOREIGN KEY (`old_state_id`) REFERENCES `states` (`state_id`))')

#

I have removed and reinstalled MariaDB three separate times now in just over a week. It's okay for about a day and then starts dumping this in the log

#

I think it is the source of my HA being really unreliable, often taking a few seconds to turn on the lights which used to be almost instantaneously. I have no idea what more to do than keep reinstalling the addon. Any pointers?

viscid orchid
#

running on a Pi?

#

what version of HA are you using?

tired swift
#

v0.117.5

viscid orchid
#

if you're using an SD card, that could be going bad. I've never seen that error with the MariaDB addon

tired swift
#

Running on SSH btw

#

Oh haha, just figured you were going to mention the SD

viscid orchid
#

SSD?

Yeah sorry

viscid orchid
#

no idea, then

viscid orchid
#

I know there were a bunch of recorder: changes a few releases ago

tired swift
#

I made that file quite minimal, I thought it could be a misconfiguration in either the recorder or the history integrations so I basically emptied that out and reinstalled after that with no luck.

viscid orchid
#

seems unlikely to be something that you caused

tired swift
#

Yes, whenever a purge is executed this will happen. I delete the whole DB and recreate everytime this happens. Hoping for a solution soon.

viscid orchid

have you filed an issue in github?

#

have you filed an issue in github?

That was my next step but I read I best check here first before raising an issue.
I see that last thread I linked is quite recent (as in a couple of hours) so that might be a lead.

#

Thanks for the listening ear RobC 😉 I'll try my luck there!

viscid orchid
#

could be. posting an issue on the forum and hoping for a solution soon isn't a strategy 🙂

Hopefully more data will help some of the guys much smarter than me.

I'm struggling to make an esp32-cam work with the esphome add.on. I have flashed the esp with the bin using the espirif esp32-cam from the drop down in esphome. this makes a config like (see above)

#

I'm unsure how to use them both ?

#

I've tried adding both after each other in the yaml of the cam in esphome, but that seems to not work

#

any help would be highly appreciated 😄

#

I'm a bit lost

tired swift
#

Maybe this helps @frosty saddle ?

#

lol @ that blog title, this is what it is about: A ESP32Cam/ESP8266 PIR driven HomeAssistant automation.

#

It has some example config that might help.
I think you need to combine both codes you linked. The first is just to run ESPhome on the board, the second is the actual config for the ESP32 camera component that needs to be added to the board

frosty saddle
#

Maybe this helps @frosty saddle ?
@tired swift Thanks, it actually looks like the config I'm using now. I must be doing it wrong 😄

#

I'll try a bit more and see what I get

#

[20:59:51][E][esp32_camera:093]: Setup Failed: ERROR

#

I still get this

#

not much to debug from there, only that one error @ 20:59:51:E

Hey guys, when trying to start Nginx Proxy Manager I get a: Port '443' is already in use by something else on the host.
I've been looking all around my Home assistant. Is there a way for me to figure out what uses this port?

dark yoke
#

NICE!

#

@sly kindle look at that error! 👆

#

as for finding out... any other proxy addon maybe?
docker ps might say something about it

versed notch
#

let me take a look

sly kindle
#

@versed notch what addons are you running?

versed notch
#

AdGuard Home - 53 (web interface disabled)
CEC Scanner -
Check Home Assistant (off)
Duck DNS
File editor
Let's Encrypt - 80 (off)
MariaDB (3306 disabled)
Nginx Proxy Manager - 443,80,81 (off, gives the said error)
SSH & Web Terminal - 22
Samba share - 139

sly kindle
#

did you set accept terms to false in duckdns?

dark yoke
#

That will not use 443, it uses DNS-01 challenge

sly kindle
#

oh right

versed notch
#

I've tried launching it with a couple of addons disabled

sly kindle
#

you're running HA OS or something else?

dark yoke
#

If those are all your add-ons, it's not an add-on that occupies it

versed notch
#

HA OS, correct

#

Yeah, that's why I'm so confused

#

When scanning the ports with an app called fing I see 53, 22, 8123 and 139 just fine

sly kindle
#

netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN in the ssh addon terminal?

dense spadeBOT

steady star
#

I'm trying to set up the mariaDB addon for HA so that is uses that instead of SQLlite. So far I've installed the addon, set a password and started it. Will it automatically transfer existing data and start using it or does more need to be done?

versed notch
#

@sly kindle do you have any idea?

#

It's not showing the PID

cunning wolf
#

@steady star You need to update your recorder settings to point it at the DB of your choice.

dense spadeBOT
versed notch
#

oh holy crap could it be node-red?

#

Cause I once installed that

#

It has come down to me using:
grep -wr -e '443' /*

#

I get quite the amount of results for node-red

#

But it's not installed anymore

#
/config/node-red/node_modules/url-parse/dist/url-parse.js:    return port !== 443;
/config/node-red/node_modules/requires-port/index.js:    return port !== 443;
/config/node-red/node_modules/requires-port/test.js:  it('does not require port 443 for https', function () {
/config/node-red/node_modules/requires-port/test.js:    assume(required('443', 'https')).false();
/config/node-red/node_modules/requires-port/test.js:    assume(required(443, 'https://www.google.com')).false();
sly kindle
#

@versed notch data does not get transferred. You'll start new history

#

@versed notch have you rebooted since uninstalling node-red?

versed notch
#

I should have

#

I just reinstalled it to take a look

#

Removed all the added things to the node-red palette. Removed all flows, etc, wiped all settings. Uninstalling it now. Rebooting as well

steady star
#

I've got the mariaDB addon installed and working. I wanted to take a look at the database with mysql workbench but when i try to connect using my RPi's IP and port 3306 it fails to connect

versed notch
#

Hmm, still Port '443' is already in use by something else on the host.

#

changing it to 444 works, but then the add-on doesn't seem to properly work

hey guys getting problem with MQTT mosquito and zigbee2mqtt

#

despite I created a user test in the configuration of HA

#

and I didnt changed any configuration on the mosquitto addon

dense spadeBOT
#

@hoary current Please DO NOT cross post. Read the channel description, post it and wait for folks to respond.

cunning wolf
#

Which thing is failing to connect to MQTT? HA or z2m?

hoary current
#

z2m

#

and im at the version 1.16.1 of z2m

#

jeez its working now

#

I was not using the forked version

#

😦

versed notch
#

Does anyone have any idea what things could use up the 443 port?

steady bobcat
#

Could be anything, really. Lots and lots and lots of things use 443

versed notch
#

I mentioned them earlier, but these are my current addons. I'm trying to get the Proxy Manager to work
AdGuard Home - 53 (web interface disabled)
CEC Scanner -
Check Home Assistant (off)
Duck DNS
File editor
Let's Encrypt - 80 (off)
MariaDB (3306 disabled)
Nginx Proxy Manager - 443,80,81 (off, gives the said error)
SSH & Web Terminal - 22
Samba share - 139

steady bobcat
#

Wait... what am I doing here? I thought I'd muted this channel. I'm leaving this for someone who uses add-ons.

versed notch
#

Weird flex

steady bobcat
#

I wanted to help, but realized I most likely can't.

#

Sorry for the confusion.

versed notch
#

Depends, I believe I'm running a basic setup

#

My guess is the configuration.yaml

#

I'm willing to just shut off parts of how I've set up my system in order to discover the source of my problem

steady bobcat
#

I'd say Let's Encrypt might be a suspect since that is all about SSL - which used port 443. But I don't know what the LE add-on itself is actually responsible for.

versed notch
#

It mainly operates on port80 once you turn it on

#

You can have it run and help you set up the SSL by just forwarding port 80

stone owl
#

Hey. This is my first time here, so be kind :-)
I run the Tellstick add-on on a separate host so I need to publish ports 50800 and 50801 from the docker container to the host. When I do this via Portainer everything work fine until I restart the addon in Supervisor. Any suggestions on how to make the published ports stay published permanently?

dark yoke
#

If it's not in the add-on options, you cant

stone owl
#

Ok, thanks. Too bad, though. In configuration.yaml it is possible to put the name of the host but the addon does not publish the ports.

#

i installed a addon thru the supervisor, and I need to set a env var for this addon. where do i set this in this case?

viscid orchid
#

if it's not in the addon config or referenced in the documentation, then you can't

paper inlet
#

so i should just install the addon manually and have a process manager like pm2 ideally in that case?

#

thats how i did it once, but now went by installing th addon with the supervisor

viscid orchid
#

you could theoretically install an addon as a "local addon" and make changes to it

#

I'm not sure what you're describing there...

cunning wolf
#

If you're using an add-on, you have the config options the add-on's author chose to expose. If you don't like that, you run the same software yourself without Supervisor managing it.

#

I need to deploy several Pis with HAOS, so I would like to configure as less as possible manually. Is it possible to configure e.g. the Mosquitto Broker AddOn via e.g. configuration.yaml or the WLAN settings without USB/SD and modify a file somewhere?

#

set up one, clone the SD card, they are now identical

#

@sly kindle I've found the issue I think. It was Adguard, secretly using the 443

ruby crater
#

Hey, using the DuckDNS addon - for some reason when I go to the https version of my duckdns domain, I get my HA instance as expected. However, for some reason the http version gives me my router home page.
How can I prevent the http page and force the https so people can't see my router crap from the internet? thanks! :)

Portforwarding 80external to 80internal fixed my issue :)

lofty junco
#

@ruby crater the order of the router firewalll rules will screw you over, too. I had the same issue and knew for a fact that I had 80 and 443 forward to the internal reverse proxy. Turns out that UniFi like to play games and put their rules with higher precedence.

Hello!

#

I'm trying to use secrets in zigbee2mqtt add-on

#

i'm doing as in the documentation but says it's invalid configuration, and cant figure it out >.<

#

password: '!secret mqtt_password'

cunning wolf
#

No quotes around it

covert hare
#

network_key: '!secret zigbee2mqtt_networkkey'

the documentation clearly says

You normally just do some_key: !secret some_key_value

IMPORTANT: Don't forget the quotes!

cunning wolf

Ah. Maybe different for add-ons then 😦

covert hare
#

of course it's been around for months now

#

only i'm migrating to another zigbee stick so i modify the config now

cunning wolf
#

Then I'm not sure. I just use the plaintext values in my config. They're not secrets that would help anyone - my MQTT server isn't accessible outside my home network.

Hi guys, I started today working for the first time in hassio. I wanted to add Samba share to my add ons. i cloned : https://github.com/home-assistant/hassio-addons but it displays the following:

Hello, I'm trying to access my HA instance with duckdns and with local url depending on my connected network (android app) and currently my https url with duckdns works fine outside the network and the "ip url" works in local network but I have to add an exception because the ssl cert. isn't for the ip but for the duckdns domain.
I've been told to create a reverse proxy to access the local url (ip) with https in the android app, however I have no clue how to do that.

Okay, I installed the Nginx Proxy Manager and added a new host but when I try to access my host (internal.ha) firefox tells me "Unknown Host".
I forwared ports 80 and 443 to my home assistant IP.

fair onyx
sly kindle
#

@fair onyx your server is still going to be at ip_address:8123

#

not sure what the internal.ha is about. What hostname do you see in the supervisor > system > Host card?

How did you guys configure let's encrypt certs on HassOS. I've tried with Let's Encrypt Addon, added certs to configuration.yaml but everytime I've do that, home assistant does not even boot. (Probably because it couldn't find specified files) I've added next lines to config: http:
ssl_certificate: /ssl/fullchain.pem
ssl_key: /ssl/privkey.pem

#

but this does not work. Is some other way "the recommended way" of doing that?

sly kindle
#

@fair onyx "demo.hass.link" should be your domain

#

and your hostname is raspberrypi

#

so raspberrypi.local:8123

#

@dark arrow got a screenshot of your http config?

#

or, do you know that once you add those lines, you can only use https:// to connect?

#

and http:// won't work?

dark arrow
#

I'm aware of that

fair onyx
#

with my duckdns domain and the raspberrypi hostname ?

sly kindle
#

@dark arrow no you've got the paths right

fair onyx
#

Okay so again, everything works fine outside my local network

sly kindle
#

@fair onyx try the local ip address

#

local_ip:8123

fair onyx
#

with https

sly kindle
#

if that works, then change it to the hostname which would be raspberrypi.local

#

:8123

fair onyx
#

Well looks like everything works like a charm now.
Thanks a lot

When does it crash? As soon as you load the dashboard? After some hours? What are you doing when it crashes?
@cunning wolf I edited my text before you replied but you probably already read it. 🙂 sorry for that.
ofc i checked github grafana page.

dark arrow
#

@dark arrow no you've got the paths right
@sly kindle but then port changes to 443 right? There is no more 8123 port? or am I wrong?

#

okej, nevermind. works with 8123 port but on https

sly kindle
#

@dark arrow if you're forwarding 443 to 8123 then you can leave the :8123 off the end of the domain

#

if you do 8123 to 8123 then you need it

cunning wolf
#

443 --> 8123 = bae

dark arrow
#

thanks, that works. It works outside of the network, it works on my computer when I enter the address as https//my.domain.com:8123, but when I do the same on home assistant app (android or ios) I get this error:

Hello, I would like to use mini-graph-card addon from HACS. I installed it from HACS. Restarted my HA. I added a new lovelace card and used type: custom:mini-graph-card, its says : "No card type configured."

Hi everyone!

#

I'm trying to edit a ESPHome sensor yaml. That is from the HA ESP addon. Once I click 'save' at the bottom right, I get - 'An error has occurred saving mysensor.yaml'. Anybody ever got that problem and what could be causing it?

calm yarrow
#

Hello pals! I am trying to use Assistant Relay BETA but Node keeps running out of memory when starting. Thoughts on how I should increase the max heap size when I'm installing this as an add-on in Home Assistant supervisor?

manic fox
#

@glossy hearth have you checked whether the mysensor.yaml was correct - it should indicate in red x before saving. or maybe you are running out of storage. Do you know how to access the dockers? you could debug from there

glossy hearth
#

Hey! Thanks for the reply, no I’m just starting out with docker (and personally not very thrilled about it). The yaml file is correct. I have the File Editor add on installed as well - I can edit the config file for the node and then go back to ESPHome and upload and run it successfully. But if I try to edit it from within ESPHome I can’t save it

sly kindle
#

There is one docker.

#

There are multiple containers.

glossy hearth
#

I’m a member of that group but I think it’s a HA issue

#

I get how docker works, I’m just failing to see the point of it, but that’s a topic for another time 🙂

manic fox
#

the editing that you are doing in the esphome - is run within the container which is actually running esphome. so technically not a HA issue. checking the logs from that container should give you idea whats going wrong

glossy hearth
#

Aha! Ok. I’ll do that

sly kindle
#

Everything within the esphome container (and any add-on) is isolated

glossy hearth
#

But just to mention I am running the HA in a container.

manic fox
#

HA is running is a different container

glossy hearth
#

Oh I see. Thanks

sly kindle
#

Yes, All add-ons are containers

#

And HA is a container

#

The supervisor container ties them all together

glossy hearth
#

Gotcha. That gives me a starting point for some troubleshooting

manic fox
#

just do a docker ps | grep esphome this will give you some container id. docker logs -f <first couple of chars for container id>

glossy hearth
#

Thanks 🙏🏻. I’ll do that when I get back in front of the pc

Hi all. After upgrading to the latest beta, the official MQTT addon fails to start. claiming that the port is used ("Port '8884' is already in use by something else on the host."). Tried going back to a week old snapshot - still the same. How can I figure out what is using the port and fix it?

manic fox
#

you may have another MQTT running which is using this port. change the port number to something else

timid estuary
#

I don't have any other mqtt running. It's the only one. And till today, it worked perfectly

manic fox
#

well the system does not lie 🙂 there is a program being run, do netstat -ap | grep 8884 to check. but iti will not be conclusive.

sharp reef
#

I have a problem with the mqtt addon: HA, my devices and (for testing) mosquitto_sub can successfully connect to the mqtt addon.
However I don't see any messages with the addon.
If I switch to mosquitto on a different server, then I can successfully see the messages from the devices

manic fox
#

didn't understand what do you mean by "don't see any messages with the addon" are you checking the logs OR the topics?

sharp reef
#

topics

manic fox
#

are there any errors or disconnections in the MQTT logs?

sharp reef
#

no, just "new client connected from XXX.... as XXX (p2,c1,k06)"

#

and also "new connection from XXX"

manic fox
#

so the messages must be there, how are you checking? use the tool like MQTT explorer to check all the topics at one shot

sharp reef
#

I'm using mosquitto_sub on a linux machine

#

I'm running now mqtt explorer, but there isn't any topic there

manic fox
#

well - thats strange, just double check the config whether you have not given the other mqtt server info

sharp reef
#

i just ran wireshark: the device is publishing the data to the broker, and I'm getting a tcp ACK

#

it looks like it is just not forwarding the information to the clients

manic fox
#

in your integrations - is the Ip address of the MQTT same as the machine where \you are running?

sharp reef
#

it got autodiscovered in HA, but the devices and both clients (MQTT explorer and mosquitto_sub) are referring to the same IP (HA)

manic fox
#

so if you use manually put any random message in random topic from developer tools -> MQTT - does it show up in MQTT explorer

sharp reef
#

mqtt/publish -> service not found

#

but I've reinstalled the integration (with reboot) and now I'm getting at least $SYS as topic in the mqtt explorer

manic fox
#

ah sorry - didn't realize the option of the MQTT is removed from developer tools and now is in the MQTT integration itself - go to Integrations -> under MQTT click on "configure". form there you should be able to publish a package

sharp reef
#

ah sorry - didn't realize the option of the MQTT is removed from developer tools and now is in the MQTT integration itself - go to Integrations -> under MQTT click on "configure". form there you should be able to publish a package
@manic fox yeah did that. But it just says that it can't find the service mqtt/publish

manic fox
#

something wrong with you add-ons - uninstall and install again

sharp reef
#

same issue
device connected
mqtt explorer connected
mosquitto_sub connected

manic fox
#

hmmm. so using the external Mqtt as integration works fine?

sharp reef
#

didn't try it for the integration yet, but for the device and mosquitto_sub it is working yes

manic fox
#

can you not have the mosquitto_sub connected - just kill that program temporarily? just wanted to check, if thats introducing anything

sharp reef
#

I dont see any messages in mqtt broker

manic fox
#

so you have killed the mos_sub and restart the Mqtt add-on?

sharp reef
#

in fact i did an HA reboot

#

not only the addon

fair lotus
#

Any idea if I can export a Deconz add-on to run in a separate container (outside of HA)? I'm using supervised HA in a VM and want to export my light control because HA frequently screws up on me and I don't want to lose control over all my lights in the future.

manic fox
#

restart of HA does not restart add-ons - unless you are saying that you rebooted the system

sharp reef
#

you are right, sorry my fault

#

but still not working.
I might have an idea.
I dont use any logins, but I've enabled anonymous connections.
According to the logs anonymous can only write, if there are logins available. Maybe the doc is wrong and anonymous can't ever write

manic fox
#

🤦‍♂️

#

change the MQTT config to true.

#

since it is controlled in HA domain - you don't have to supply any creds

sharp reef
#

yeah, but since i left "logins: []" I thought, that it is counted as "empty"

manic fox
#

so it works now?

sharp reef
#

restarting the addon right now. Had do install the smb addon to create the acl

manic fox
#

okay best of luck - go to go now

sharp reef
#

yes now its working

#

thanks for your help 🙂

Hey guys, I'm trying to install "Assistant Relay for Hassio" from here https://github.com/Apipa169/Assistant-Relay-for-Hassio but when I try and add it to Repositories under Supervisor it says it's not a valid add-on repository. How am I already stuck at the very 1st installation step?

viscid orchid
#

adds fine for me

vivid quarry
#

this is for Home Assistant on a Pi4; is this not compatible? I get easily confused between all the different flavors of Home Assistant, Hassio, HA Core, etc. I have whatever the "easy" one was which I think is Home Assistant; where I wiped an SD card and downloaded an image and installed with etcher. No docker, no home assistant install onto an already existing raspberryOS either

viscid orchid
#

I don't think the platform has any impact on whether you can add the repo

#

you're using Home Assistant OS

vivid quarry
viscid orchid
#

remove the leading https://

surreal stirrup
#

Sorry to repost, I put this in #general-archived, was told to ask here:. I have been running Home Assistant for half a year or so for my alarm. All has been well. We are running on an Rpi, and have installed DuckDNS and NGinx per https://help.konnected.io/support/solutions/articles/32000023964-set-up-hass-io-with-secure-remote-access-using-duckdns-and-nginx-proxy?gclid=CjwKCAiA-f78BRBbEiwATKRRBLL6gzPz1XjTQ16gBgVlNh7w-HtzQaEmDWl2C2FVdcI2VXqLKnhiXBoCSx4QAvD_BwE

We are now on a trip, and halfway through the trip have lost remote connection, mostly.

i was able to confirm it is an expired certificate. Had been updating our renewing automatically prior. Neighbor rebooted it for me, no improvement. Family back home now, so I can walk wife through any attempt. So, how do I force a certificate renewal on this setup. Or what diagnostics can I walk her through remotely?

vivid quarry
#

@viscid orchid when I remove the leading https:// I get a different error

viscid orchid
#

oh, sorry. paste exactly this: https://github.com/Apipa169/Assistant-Relay-for-Hassio

vivid quarry
#

back to where I was; Not a valid add-on repository.

viscid orchid
#

look in your supervisor log

#

maybe you're out of space

vivid quarry
#

FWIW I haven't updated HACore from 0.117.5 to 0.117.6 yet, nor have I updated OS from 4.15 to 4.16. Maybe I'll try those first then retrying? Or should that have nothing to do with this

viscid orchid
#

shouldn't be related

#

look at the supervisor logs

#

I see this:

#
20-11-15 17:26:40 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.store.git] Cloning add-on https://github.com/Apipa169/Assistant-Relay-for-Hassio repository

#

if you're out of space, then it probably can't clone it

vivid quarry
#

are the supervisor logs the "Logs" under "Configuration"

viscid orchid
#

No

#

hit the System tab while in the Supervisor section, scroll to the bottom

vivid quarry
#

ok it's not disk space; I'm using 17%

#

oh what the hell, I returned back to the repositories page and now it's already sitting there as successfully added

#

shrugs

#

thanks for helping me muscle through this dumb thing; glad I got past step 1

viscid orchid
#

np, I understand that it can be frustrating

Back to my previous question about MQTT add-on that can't start. something is running and listening on the same port. Tried to figure our what it is: it seems it is th docker-init process. Anyone seen this before?

@timid estuary How did you install Home Assistant?

timid estuary
dense spadeBOT
#

Hass.io was the old name for the appliance like install option, that uses Docker. It is now simply called Home Assistant OS (see #330990055533576204).

viscid orchid
#

first

timid estuary
#

it runs ok for moths...

#

months

viscid orchid
#

what version of HA are you using?

#

and which addons do you have installed?

timid estuary
#

0.117.5

#

I have duckdns, file editor, influxdb, samba, ssh, zigbee2mqtt, google drive backup and tautuli

viscid orchid
#

and the Mosquitto addon log is what's telling you that something is already listening on that port (1883)?

timid estuary
#

The add on won't start. I can see the error on the supervisor log, or if I try to start the add-on manually, an error pops up

#

something is already listening on 8884 & 8883

viscid orchid
#

did you configure those ports into the addon?

timid estuary
#

I'm using the defaults. Just checked now, 1883 is also taken

viscid orchid
#

oh, I see. I didn't realize that it also listed on 8883/8884

#

did you install by flashing an image to the RPI?

timid estuary
#

originally yes, but that was months ago. It's a stable RPI install that run my home for the last year. I've tried to update to the latest beta, and the problem started. I restored a week old snapshot, but problems stayed.

viscid orchid
#

0.117.5 isn't a beta. So you rolled back?

timid estuary
#

yes

#

tried 118b2 and then rolled back

viscid orchid
#

if the problem happened when you updated to the beta, which is weird, then I recommend posting to #beta

timid estuary
#

I'm not sure it was the reason, but that was the only things I've done. I'll do that. Thanks!

viscid orchid
#

you may also want to uninstall, reboot the Pi, and re-install the addon

Hey everyone. I'm running HassOS in a Windows VM and am trying to get HeyU operating. It appears to have built, but when I try to test it, I get a connection refused connecting to port 8080 failed. I'm assuming its either because I either have the wrong port mapped for the CM17a or there's some sort of port forwarding issue with VM. Any thoughts?

coarse quest

I had trouble getting MariaDB to work on my setup. The instructions don't specify if I can use a new username that was not created as a user for Home Assistant. Should I have created a new user in Home Assistant and used that for MariaDB or should I be using my Home Assistant login info for MariaDB?

#

so far I am using my Home Assistant login info which is how I got it to work

sly kindle
#

@coarse quest it's whatever you set as "logins"in the addon config

#

and whatever is there should also be under "rights"

coarse quest
#

so it's normal to leave the username as homeassistant?

sly kindle
#

you can change the username 'homeassistant' to whatever you want

#

just make sure to use that in the rights as well, and in your recorder: config

#

I left it. But I don't know if that's normal

coarse quest
#

Ok, it's working with a new username and password. I'm not sure what I did wrong before because initially the only thing I changed was the password and I added that to the configuration.yaml after the 2nd reboot. Anyway I got it working and that's the important part.

hi all... anyone online who could help me with question about HA File Editor in combination with Git?

#

Probably stupid question but I was messing around in File Editor -> Git option; a bit worried I somehow accidentally uploaded/pushed/commit my config file to Github which contains passwords. Did some checking: Do I understand correctly this would only be possible ifI would have added SSH key to File Editor config? (don't have that)

cunning wolf
#

You can push to GitHub using username/password too, not just SSH.

#

But if you haven't entered either, you probably haven't pushed there.

#

You can check by going to your repo on GitHub.

digital hawk
#

I don't have a Github account, but I thought it could also be done anonymously? (I have no Github experience).

#

(I feel like a newbie)

viscid orchid
#

not possible

digital hawk
#

Just a small addition to my earlier question: Reason I was trying Git options in File Editor was because when I opened the file manager earlier to select a file to edit I got a screen which asked me to select "Branch" (with pulldown menu and + sign). This screen disappeared and then it showed the file menu as it should. Probably a bug I guess. Perhaps to do with growing DB size (10 Gig now) on my RPI4.

cunning wolf
#

It doesn't sound like a bug. It sounds like you clicked the wrong thing (again)

digital hawk
#

lol 🙂 I am pretty sure that time I didn't 🙂 it's because of that strange screen why I tried to reproduce how I got it (read: mess around in git options file editor)... but couldn't reproduce it unfortunately.

#

did notice I was on 5.0.0 so perhaps time to update...

@vital brook Don't worry about the log entries, that's just showing all of the information it 'hears'. If information about your known devices get sent to the right topics in MQTT, you're okay 🙂

vital brook
#

well, i worry because it doesnt detect it being "home" or even show consideration probability, as it does for phone, it is constantly "away"

#

but these lines show up

#

four times in last 30min, but still no confidence of presence

cunning wolf
#

I misunderstood, sorry. Has that device been paired to something else? And is it a standard Bluetooth Low Energy device or does it work as a beacon?

vital brook
#

i put it under static, it is paired to my phone

cunning wolf
#

Hmm, I'm not sure. If you watch your MQTT topics for monitor, do you see that MAC address?

#

I have a long list of all the MAC addresses mine has seen, even if I didn't give them a static rule.

vital brook
#

checking, i'll run it's sync with phone and see if that makes difference in behaviour

#

it again sees it in the addon log but reports nothing to mqtt, even tho it's the same mac.
also reports samsung s7 even tho it's bluetooth is toggled off (ble is separate?)

#

but also doesnt report s7 being present, because it's bt is off, i guess

#

s7 acts as expected.

cunning wolf
#

Ignore the addon logs. Ignore the topic you chose (/bixpm). Just search your MQTT broker for the MAC address of your Amazbit.

#

You can see I have lots of topics for devices monitor has seen. I don't have these in my static devices: http://prntscr.com/vjp9ai

#

You should have one for your Amazbit if it's seen it before.

vital brook
#

hmm where is that, your mqtt broker root or what topic?

#

my monitor addon conf is set to: topic_root: presence
so when i monitor presence/# i should see all it reports, i monitor # to check but nothing outside normal shows up. My addon doesnt report random mac's like that to broker as on your screenshot

cunning wolf
#

Maybe we have different settings. I don't use the add-on, I run monitor directly on a Pi. I'm not sure why you don't see the tracker, sorry.

vital brook
#

yeah, wonder if the watch is some extra tricky ble to monitor

hi all. I forgot the admin pwd for the motioneye add-on. I followed instructions on ccrisan github faq to try to recover it, but it does not work. my 'motion.conf' file shows '# @admin_password ', which I think means the admin pwd is blank. am I right? But, if this is the case, I get a 'credential' error when trying to loging as 'admin', and I can't remember whether I created a separate admin user and pwd (motion.conf shows 'admin' as the only admin user). any ideas/suggestions on what else to check?

Hi folks, I'm using an add on (added files manually to custom_components) for a Personal Weather Station (SmartWeatherUDP). Recently all the readings stopped working after months of working fine. All the interface elements say "Entity not available: sensor.(sensorname)". Is there a basic way to troubleshoot or reinstall this? eg what's the equivalent of reboot or uninstall/reinstall for this case?

restarting HA should be enough

Hi guys, my MariaDB addon didn't want to start after upgrade of HA to latest version. So I uninstalled it and installed again but still doesn't want to start correctly. Google didn't help. I'm running HA in VirtualBox. Am I missing something? Here are the error log lines:

urgh... so the issues are with almost all addons... issues with installing and uninstalling... it looks like something broke in the update or is not compatible... so I need to reinstall HA from scratch...

cunning wolf
#

Or restore a snapshot.

#

You have a snapshot... right?

#

I doubt there's an issue in HA that causes many add-ons to fail at once. That feels like the kind of thing that would've been picked up in beta testing.

@cunning wolf thanks for reply. I'll make a fresh new VM and restore settings from snapshot. I've noticed that addons settings changed format from JSON to YAML. Which is cool, but I'm afraid there will be more changes. So I'll go slow on it and restore it selectively one by one. I was upgrading from 0.106.2 to latest 0.117.6. Plugin for checking the configuration for the upgrade was not working. Some rsync problem. I've made a screenshot of that if you're interested. Anyway thanks a lot 🙂

cunning wolf
#

YAML and JSON are exchangeable. They represent exactly the same information 😉

#

I know 🙂 It's just how they are shown in the GUI. I've done several reinstalls already in past (SD cards on RPi), so now I'm keeping copy of text of all add-on settings in OneNote 😉

#

That's how I noticed 🙂

#

I knew something serious is not working in HA after upgrade. I installed Portainer and it couldn't see any containers... Luckily it's not a big deal to get the new HA up and running 🙂

#

MariaDB (and also Samba) addon is now running fine 🙂

OK so... Bitwarden question, I went and lost my admin token, I just assumed it popped it up every time in the log file, but no. So I'm trying to put things like ADMIN_TOKEN: '12345678' in the configuration, but no dice. Any suggestions? I disabled new signups long ago, and now I need to turn them back on

#

Of course I have no clue,but apparently I can start the docker container with options...to reset the admin token or set it to something

#

starting points? any suggestions?

#

I would assume that I could have just shoved stuff like that in the config next to keyfile: privkey.pem

#

but it seems like no

#

OK so F-it, I'm gonna export my vault and reinstall.

Hey everyone! I'm trying to get the Nginx add-on setup, but am being met with this error when it starts:
nginx: [emerg] PEM_read_bio_DHparams("/data/dhparams.pem") failed (SSL: error:0909006C:PEM routines:get_name:no start line:Expecting: DH PARAMETERS)
I've tried running this command in the terminal in the VSCode add-on, but Nginx still doesn't seem to find the dhparams.pem file.
openssl dhparam -out /data/dhparams.pem 2048

#

Is there something I'm doing wrong??

tender needle
#

Ok, so I uninstalled the NGINX Home Assistant SSL Proxy add-on and installed the Nginx Proxy Manager add-on instead. That worked for me and looks like I could use that to open up some other options in the future.

I'm trying to migrate from the Vera Integration to the OpenZWave addon and integration. I have installed Mosquitto locally and was able to bridge it to my other MQTT broker (mosquitto running on a synology) and changed the MQTT integration to point at the local instance. My other MQTT devices are now working again. I was able to get OpenZWave installed and running using a Nortek HUSBZB-1 and was able to get a light switch paired to it. The integration shows that its healthy and shows the USB stick as a device, but doesn't seem to be pulling in the light switch. I've tried restarting the OZW, Mosquitto, and HA server a couple times, and even reloaded and completely dropped and readded the OZW integration. I'm sure that I'm missing something stupid, but I've been googling for about 5 hours and can't seem to figure out what I'm missing.

@oak bolt I think you might search for a integration?

Hello, after updating Home Assistent i cant see the offical Addons anymore. Someone the same Problem?

tepid copper
#

Hi! I'm wondering if it's possible to remotely add media to the home assistant folders through the Nabu Casa interface? I know you can add it while on the same network using the Samba share add-on, but I need to be able to do this while on a separate network and I can't change the ports. Any help would be amazing 😁

sly kindle
#

@tepid copper you just want to upload a file to the media folder?

tepid copper
#

yeah I need to upload it to the /share folder for plex, but I need to do it while on a different network

vital bronze
#

well then nevermind.

tepid copper
#

@vital bronze did you update to Home Assistant Core 0.118.0, and Operating System 4.17?

vital bronze
#

0.188.0 and Operating System is HassOS 5.5

tepid copper
#

i'm not on those versions rn, so I can't help atm. sorry

sly kindle
#

@tepid copper you could upload a file using file editor or vsc add-ons but I don't think that would work well for anything large

tepid copper
#

I'll be uploading some pretty large videos

sly kindle
#

or you could expose samba over the internet...really wouldn't advise that...but you can't use nabucasa to do that

#

plus, the nabucasa remote is a relay with limited bandwidth...it will be even slower

#

This really wasn't meant to become anyone's media center/server

tepid copper
#

hmm. I can't expose any ports / network access points, so I probably won't be able to expose samba

#

haha yeah that makes sense. I was testing things out with the plex media server plugin

#

I'm testing out the fie editor rn. Doesn't look like it gives you any upload progress bar?

tepid copper
#

i'm having problems using the vs-code plugin where it keeps needing to refresh to connect

#

are you normally only able to access it through the local network? / are there problems with using nabu casa + vs code?

sly kindle
#

no that should work. any add-on which has the ingress feature can be opened

it too have isues loading vs code, but normally works after a reload so i just pegged it as 'not broken enough to bother do anything, yet'

Goodmorning! I am trying to push branche through File Editor in HA; when I select push I first got just a small dark window saying "/config /config". Forgot to init/commit. When I did init and commit and then push I get "No remotes configured for /config /config". Any suggestions?

digital hawk
#

I understood I can do all this through File Editor, am I misunderstanding and do I have to setup repository through SSH first?

covert arch
#

git remote add origin http://url I don't use the file editor but I believe you need to make your repo aware of remotes via cli yes

digital hawk
#

ah ok thanks! also noticed I forgot gitignore (stupid me). working on it now. I have no github account yet but want to set it up at moment it is required. Since I forgot gitignore, and no username/password was asked yet, I assume I can't have uploaded anything to github yet correct? first time I'm doing this as you can see 😉

covert arch
#

if you did not add a remote yet (and assuming you didn't do a clone to begin with) - you only commited to your local repository

#

be careful, you will push old commits to Github - remove the repo and start again

digital hawk
#

ah ok! what do you mean with clone? I have been messing around in File Editor git options to try and understand how it works...

covert arch
#

cloning is the general command to replicate a remote repository on your local machine, if you didn't use it then this does not matter in this case

digital hawk
#

I haven't had an account on github yet so it should be impossible I have already had some sort of connection with github yet correct? I assume an account would be required to upload anything to github I understood earlier...

#

(thanks very much for helping btw)

covert arch
#

I'd assume you start off with your own config and don't replicate someone else's smart home, yes

digital hawk
#

only working on my own smart home 😉

#

last question: at what point is username/password for github required? I expected it to be asked somewhere, will File Editor ask when push works? Or do I need to do that in SSH also? So I know when things are "really" put online...

covert arch
#

I mainly use GitLab, not GH and there I use ssh keys to push to my repos, should be possible with Github too - just setup the repo on cli and editor shouldn't have to worry about user/pw I believe

digital hawk
#

Ok, but in that case I would have to enter the ssh keys in file editor correct? Else username password would be required I assume...

digital hawk
#

I mean, there has to be authenication to an account at some point before you can place something or am I really not understanding it? 😉

covert arch
#

yes, there are multiple methods available to do this... username/password or key-auth are only 2 of them, with 2FA on your online account you want key-auth

digital hawk
#

okay great! thanks very much for your help, really helps understanding the system for me as a newbie on this subject! Only thing I am wondering about, although not applicable in my case: You mentioned clone/replicate. Just for me to understand how this works: I assume you mean when you use configuration or file of someone else from his/her repository. But in case I would make changes to that configuration or file on his/her repo, that would be impossible wouldn't it? As I or they would have to login with their (the owners) account.....

covert arch
#

well yes but no...

  • you can clone a foreign copy to your local machine,
  • make edits to your liking,
  • add your own repo to the remotes (git remote add)
  • push changes to your own repo
  • make a PR to the original repo
digital hawk
#

Okay I understand (where PR stands for Pull Request I assume). Ok thanks again for your great help! Hope I won't be a newbie anymore soon. Really thought I could do all this in File Editor but now I understand better... thanks again.

Hi, I am trying to get remote acess to home assistant using DuckDNS. I can use my duckdns domain to access homeassistant when im on my local network but when Im on cellular data it doesn’t work. I tried configuring http and also using nginx. In both cases the duckdns url only works when I am connected to my local network.

cunning wolf
#

Sounds like maybe your router has loopback (so asking for it on your WiFi doubles you back to your internal IP even though it's a public domain) and you haven't set up proper port forwarding on your router.

#

What port forwarding rules have you set up?

icy pollen
#

Im currently trying to use nginx so im fowarding 443 to 443

cunning wolf
#

And does nginx see traffic on your external port 443?

icy pollen
#

how do i check that?

cunning wolf
#

🤷‍♂️

icy pollen
#

sorry english is not my first language so just to be sure, are you asking me if nginx is supposed to be accessed by port 443 or if its detecting that im trying to?

cunning wolf
#

The latter

#

Also, which port is HA listening on? The default is 8123 and most people don't change it.

#

So you should have something like this: https://www.yourdomain.com --> router (forwards 443 to 443) --> nginx (forwards 443 to 8123) --> local Home Assistant host

icy pollen
#

HA is on 8123
Once I got a notification that I was tryng to login with invalid credentials, so I think maybe it detected once (but maybe it was a notification from when I was connected to my local network and I only saw it afterwards)

Besides that theres nothing on nginx log about traffic so im not sure

devout yew
#

Don't forget this:

#

http:
ssl_certificate: /ssl/cert.pem
ssl_key: /ssl/privkey.pem
use_x_forwarded_for: true
trusted_proxies:
- 127.0.0.1
- 172.30.33.0/24

#

The cert is not what I mean, but all below

icy pollen
#

Im trying to use nginx instead of configruing http so that I can still acess it at local ip
but ill try it just to see what happens

cunning wolf
#

Yeah, the trusted proxies will matter if you're using a proxy, otherwise HA can't tell where it's really coming from.

devout yew
#

If you don't set these it will never be able to detect that you are coming through a proxy.

cunning wolf
#

These bits are how it knows you're forwarding through a proxy:

  use_x_forwarded_for: true
  trusted_proxies:
    - 127.0.0.1
    - 172.30.33.0/24```
#

And make sure nginx is adding the X-Forwarded-For header properly.

#

It doesn't come from the client, it's added by nginx so HA can see nginx's IP and the original IP.

icy pollen
#

i added this to my config and it still doesnt work, should i use this ips or should i change them

cunning wolf
#

The IP's depend on your network. 127.0.0.1 is okay (it's the local loopback) but the others depend on your host.

icy pollen
#

whats the second one suposed to be? my home assistant ip?

devout yew
#

The Docker IP

icy pollen
#

Im using hass os. is it the ip I use to access HA localy?

cunning wolf
#

It's the IP of the container your nginx add-on is running in.

icy pollen
#

how do I find it?

devout yew
#

The mentioned one should be right. These settings do not magically make it work, they just fix problems you will have later.

#

Do the certs work? Aka did you hand the (sub)domain in Proxy manager one?

icy pollen
#

Im not sure. From what I understood from the addons docs nginx should automatically use the certificates generated by the duckdns addon.

cunning wolf
#

Which nginx add-on are you using? I prefer the nginx proxy manager one. It only took a few minutes to get it set up after following the gif in the readme.

#

It also grabs its own certs.

icy pollen
#

NGINX Home Assistant SSL proxy

cunning wolf
#

Yeah, I'd recommend the other one 🙂

icy pollen
#

Ok ill see if im able to setup the other one

cunning wolf
#

But... it might not be your problem. Try to isolate the problem.

#

If you change your router to forward 443 to 8123, does it reach HA?

icy pollen
#

No

devout yew
#

then.... we have another problem

icy pollen
#

well I think it doesnt
it didnt when I was using http instead of nginx let me check

devout yew
#

no one uses http. https it is ^^

icy pollen
#

i meant like the htpp section of the config.yaml

devout yew
#

I see

icy pollen
#

Yeah changing the fowarding doesnt work

#

why was it supposed to work, isnt nginx expecting 443?

devout yew
#

Tbh I made things a lil different anyways. I have a domain, added some subdomains and all CNAMEd to one DDNS url.

icy pollen
#

Well I’ll try using the other nginx addon and see if it works

sly kindle
#

@icy pollen If using NPM add-on, I would set the duckdns addon to not handle the retrieval of the cert and let NPM do it.

#

Then you don't need the ssl_ lines under http:

#

Though, that switches out dns-01 cert auth for regular auth which requires port 80

icy pollen
#

Im trying to setup the other nginx now and its asking me for a login, what is this login supposed to be?

#

nevermind I found it on NPM website

sly kindle
#

"Documentation" tab for every add-on @icy pollen

icy pollen
#

Im trying to use NPM and im folowing the gif in the addon page, and its not even working in http

#

i think theres somethin wrong with my router

#

also , im using a hassos in a VM. is the issue possibly related to using a VM?

sly kindle
#

no. A VM is fine

#

what does your proxy config look like

#

and what did you decide in terms of ssl cert? duckdns handles it or NPM?

icy pollen
#

my config looks right based on that picture
I was following the gif so I didnt setup ssl yet.
And it didnt work with http.

But as for what will handle ssl I dont know how to properly setup with NPM but I wouldnt mind using it. The letsencript email, do i need to create an account somehow or should I just type my email on the textfield

#

@sly kindle I think the problem is with my router I just used a site to test open port and its saying that 443 and 80 are closed.

#

ok I just found out tha ISPs in brazil close all ports below 1024 in residential internet plans

#

is it possible to use another port?

@raven tinsel for the Unifi add-on (I just installed it yesterday). I got a notification that the Unifi controller has an update. Can I do this manually or has it something to do with the add-on itself? Do I wait for the add-on to be updated or how does it work? Thanks!

raven tinsel
#

@raven tinsel perfect, then I'll keep my hands off. It's insane how much add-ons you have to maintain. Thanks for your hard work, really appreciated!

#

Hi was here earlier Im having trouble trying to get remote acces to HA using duckdns and Nginx.
Some people tried to help but then I found out the my isp blocks ports 80 and 433. I was wondering if its possible to use other ports for remote access.

devout yew
#

Sure. like 8443

#

Or 8843

icy pollen
#

@devout yew
how would I set this up?
I should foward external 8443 to local 443?

cunning wolf
#

Just stick with 8123 externally, then it's easy to remember since you'll know it's the HA port 🙂

#

But yes... pick a high-numbered external port and forward it to 443 internally.

icy pollen
#

I tried that using NGINX Home Assistant SSL proxy because its simpler to use
but it still doesnt work

#

at least now when I test the port it says open

#

im not sure what to try now

icy pollen
#

is there anything else i could try?

cunning wolf
#

What says the port is open?

icy pollen
#

A couple websites I found on goole to test if port is open

cunning wolf
#

Ok, so your requests are getting to something. Any activity in the HA logs when you try to log in on cellular data?

icy pollen
#

No

cunning wolf
#

What do you see in the browser when you try it?

icy pollen
#

Well the message changed a couple times while I was trying different fixes sometimes it was

Error because took too long to respond

And sometimes connection refused

cunning wolf
#

🤦‍♂️

#

Don't just throw shit at walls to see what sticks.

#

Be methodical.

icy pollen
#

Im not trying random stuff, it changed like when using HA http config then NGINX then the other nginx addon and then trying other ports

#

I just dont remember what message happened at which time

cunning wolf
#

Which means those messages are useless if you don't know what they related to.

#

What message do you get now when you try?

icy pollen
#

oh wait I tried reseting my router and now redirecting 8123 to 443 works

#

dont know what was happening
thanks for all the help

So a while back i saw this guy on twitter that had a "thrashday addon" in HA and it was basically just a calendar reminder that told him on specific dates that tomorrow was trashday and he had to remember to put out the bins. I found the addon but it seems that i need something called HACS before i can install it. That seems like an awful lot of hoops to jump through to have something that simple. Can that really be true? Is there no such addon on the addon store?

viscid orchid
#

It’s not an addon, it’s an integration

dense spadeBOT
#

Home Assistant Community Store is the successor to the old Custom Updater, and can do so much more - you should check it out. They even have a Discord server for issues with HACS itself.

viscid orchid
#

HACS is an easy way to install it, but there are manual instructions there too

timber sparrow
#

still seems like an awful lot of work to install HACS just for this? i would also need an github account it seems

#

so there are basically 2 addon stores for HA?

#

or 3 rather

viscid orchid
#

Again, not an addon

#

You have other options to just install this. See the link

dense spadeBOT
#

Some integrations are added with YAML, some in the UI. Check the documentation for your integration to see which method it uses.

timber sparrow
#

im not gonna install it if i need to do it manually

viscid orchid
#

Ok

timber sparrow
#

and risk it breaking on updates and having to fiddle around with it

viscid orchid
#

Ok

#

If you want it, those are your options.

timber sparrow
#

what is the reason something like this isnt on the addon store?

viscid orchid
#

Again, not an addon

#

Sheesh

timber sparrow
#

why not?

viscid orchid
#

See the links above

timber sparrow
#

Add-ons allow the user to extend the functionality around Home Assistant by installing additional applications.

viscid orchid
#

Addons are separate software. Integrations communicate directly with HA

timber sparrow
#

okay

#

then why is it not an intregration then?

viscid orchid
#

It is

#

Just not built in

timber sparrow
#

yeah why not?

viscid orchid
#

🤷‍♂️

#

There are tons of custom components

#

It’s up to the dev and to the HA core team to decide whether to pull it into the Core

timber sparrow
#

they really arent making it easy for regular people to use this software

viscid orchid
#

Ok

#

You have your options

timber sparrow
#

and that attitude from you when i come here for help isnt helping either

I don't get it, grafana started to crash different browsers on different computers. It loads half of the panels and then crashed. Restarted everything, still happened. Suddenly it worked again, then it happened again. No clue what's happening. Didn't change anything on grafana for months.
@cobalt ice was working 2 days, now the crashes are back. hmmmmmm

Another NOOB question ... is there a way to install VS Code (add-in) into a Home Assistant Core installation? I am running HA under a python venv based on these (https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/raspberry-pi/) instructions. I'm guessing it's not as simple as extracting the GIT into my ~/.homeassistant/custom_components directory? or is it?

Regarding the Grafana addon--the docs say As the addon now supports both Ingress and direct access, the default admin user has a password of hassio. Please ensure to change this.. But I'm not sure how to, given this error in the Grafana UI:
Change Your Password
You cannot change password when ldap or auth proxy authentication is enabled.

Folks, I have an instance of HomeAssistant running on a Pi4 with Rasberian. It was installed using the IOTStack and is on a docker image.
I have not seen any home assistant updates in the supervisor section like I normally do for my other home assistant instances running on home assistant OS.
Should I be updating HomeAssistant in a different way or should I expect to see updates here?

manic fox
#

yep - docker pull

dusky nacelle
#

Thanks @manic fox, however looks like when I call docker-compose pull it updates a few other containers but not HomeAssistant.

There is a container running called homeassistant/armv7-hassio-supervisor.

Hiya - does anyone have any time to help with the mosquitto add-on? Having MQTT #sadtimes 😦

dense spadeBOT
#

@peak sluice 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?

Does anyone know how the check Home assistant configuration addon works? I have it enabled and started and I was going to update to HassOS 4.17 and Homeassistant 0.118. Is it supposed to tell me something ahead of time? Or am I supposed to push a button before I update?

dense spadeBOT
#

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

cunning wolf
#

That explains how to run it.

#

As for how... the command line one creates a new environment with the new version of HA and checks that your config files are still valid in that environment.

#

The UI check... it doesn't do as much, so it'll miss stuff.

hidden dock
#

Cool I'll give it a try

#

So when it says command completed successfully I assume I'm good to go to update?

Hmmm, OK. Even though I am in the host machine via ssh, I can not really restart the container with the new option? I am not following the detail of how the docker addon works in HA.

Can anyone help me with some docker stuff? Ive been trying to figure out how to add /dev/i2c-1 mapping to the appdaemon add-on but can't figure out how to get it to stick. I have been able to duplicate the image with portainer and add the mapping there but then once I go back into home assistant and restart the addon for any reason the mapping goes away. Can someone help guide me through the process of either editing the existing official appdeamon addon so it has the /dev/i2c-1 mapping to /dev/i2c-1 on system or if it's not possible to help guide me through doing the same thing with a custom addon version of the appdaemon addon.
I have portainer and am running home assistant supervised ontop of raspbian. I already tried creating a custom version of the appdaemon addon by adding "devices": ["/dev/i2c-1:/dev/i2c-1:rwm"] to config.json however I ran into an error that said "'/bin/bash -o pipefail -c apk add --no-cache --virtual .build-dependencies gcc=9.3.0-r2 libc-dev=0.7.2-r3 libffi-dev=3.3-r2 patch=2.7.6-r6 python3-dev=3.8.5-r0 && apk add --no-cache py3-pip=20.1.1-r0 python3=3.8.5-r0 && pip install --no-cache-dir --prefer-binary --find-links "https://wheels.home-assistant.io/alpine-3.12/${BUILD_ARCH}/" -r /tmp/requirements.txt && cd /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ && patch -p1 < /patches/force_recompile.patch && patch -p1 < /patches/hassio.patch && find /usr/local ( -type d -a -name test -o -name tests -o -name 'pycache' ) -o ( -type f -a -name '.pyc' -o -name '.pyo' ) -exec rm -rf '{}' + && apk del --no-cache --purge .build-dependencies' returned a non-zero code: 45"

@cunning wolf I am sorry for my ignorance. I am just curious what mechanism makes it impossible to find a workaround.

cunning wolf
#

You chose the option with the least control. The mechanism doesn't matter.

#

You can't do what you're asking.

#

If you're not happy with it, pick another installation method.

#

But please stop nagging people for answers. You've been told it's not possible already. Give up.

buoyant thunder
#

Again, I am sorry. I did not mean to give you guys any bad impression or such. It just came out of my curiosity. Why is the image build so limited... Anyway, thanks for all the inputs.

cunning wolf
#

It's limited because it's supposed to be the 'beginner' option. You don't need to know how to do all the fancy system stuff.

#

It's like installing Windows vs installing Linux.

buoyant thunder
#

Well, I am very curious of the system.

cunning wolf
#

Curiosity is fine but that information is all explained in the documentation about the install types.

#

And there aren't many people on Discord that could tell you exactly why things work the way they do, apart from the developers. Most of us are just volunteers, and many of us don't know the code.

buoyant thunder
#

I did not know what distribution of developers and users in Discord. I thought that you guys (e.g., @cunning wolf and @viscid orchid) are developers in HA.

cunning wolf
#

No. There are 6000 people online now. HA has 6/7 core developers and then a few hundred people that contribute to the code. So most people don't see/understand the code 🙂

#

A lot of people here are quite technical. Maybe they work in IT. But they don't always know the internals for HA 🙂

#

I have been playing with the frontend codes in HA and slowly moving on the backend codes and I was curious how this lightweight docker containers are amazingly integrated to the core container.

I’ve setup a few buttons embedded in an entity row, they show up and work fine on my computer, but don’t show up at all on the Home Assistant Android app. If someone uses this add-on, can you tell me if it just doesn’t work on mobile?

Nevermind, completely killing the app and relaunching it did the trick.

Hey all, I could use some help figuring out how to get zigbee2mqtt working. I sort of set everything up a while ago and forgot about it, but there are some errors in the addon log:

Zigbee2MQTT:info  2020-11-24 16:26:47: Started frontend on port 8099
Zigbee2MQTT:info  2020-11-24 16:26:47: Connecting to MQTT server at mqtt://core-mosquitto

Zigbee2MQTT:error 2020-11-24 16:27:07: Not connected to MQTT server!
#

As far as I know I have mosquitto configured correctly as the mqtt broker because I'm using it successfully with IOTLink

#

Okay I think I just need to configure zigbee2mqtt correctly. Playing around w/that...

#

I think I got it. What threw me was what user/pass I should use in the configuration. I just copied that from the mqtt config, but it's the homeassistant user whereas most guides suggest that you should create a separate user for mqtt?

cunning wolf
#

No need to have separate users. You're the only person using it, right?

#

It just overcomplicates things when you start setting up new credentials for every service or device that needs to use it.

Not sure which install you're using? If you have system_health enabled you can check Configuration -> Info, or see the following.

  • If you're using HassOS, flashed an image, or booted a VM with an image you're using #330990055533576204

  • If you installed Linux and then ran a script to install HA and have add-ons then you have #330944238910963714

  • If you're running docker commands or use a Docker manager and have no add-ons then you have #449717345808547842

  • Finally, if you use pip to install or upgrade you have #551864459891703809

Having difficulty chosing an install method? See this blog post for guidance.

dark yoke
#

But the way to solve it, is so involved that I'm not willing to say how, a fix for it is comming, but not sure how long that will take, current best workaround is a reinstallation if it's a new setup

I'm trying to start influxdb ... I just intsalled it

it says "Port '8086' is already in use by something else on the host."

which is surprising because docker ps on hass os shows that port is not in use

so I could adjust the port, but what is using it exactly?

so it shows pid 0 for that port

which I conclude means the influxdb and hassos are natively incompatible by default

why does hass os use reserved ports seemingly at random?

I'm in the wrong channel for that tho, ty you @viscid orchid
