the SSL certificate doesn't seem to be set up correctly as I get this

#

What's 'this'?

lone dagger Nov 26, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

ergh

#

tryiung to paste a screenshot

...and failing

#

basically, 'Secure connection failed'

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

cunning wolf Nov 26, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

But yes, it sounds like your certificate either doesn't exist or isn't valid for the domain you're accessing.

lone dagger Nov 26, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

indeed

#

the duckdns log seems to suggest that it's been created successfully...

#

``+ Checking domain name(s) of existing cert... unchanged.

Checking expire date of existing cert...
Valid till Feb 24 11:09:22 2021 GMT Certificate will not expire
(Longer than 30 days). Skipping renew!``

sly kindle Nov 26, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

The addon only gets the certificate and places the files in /ssl directory. It does not configure HA to use it.

#

You have to do that

lone dagger Nov 26, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

ah ha

sly kindle Nov 26, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

In configuration.yaml

#

The addon docs contain the configuration which must be added

cunning wolf Nov 26, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

An alternative would be to use a reverse proxy to handle all the cert stuff so that you can still access your HA host on your internal network via HTTP (instead of HTTPS with cert warnings).

#

Nginx Proxy Manager is good. Comes with a handy UI for people that may not be familiar with writing an nginx.conf file.

lone dagger Nov 26, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

awesome

#

that fixed it

#

Big thanks, @sly kindle & @cunning wolf

#

Do you know if I need to leave port 80 open for the certificate to be renewed?

cunning wolf Nov 26, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

cogneato did all the work 😄

lone dagger Nov 26, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

yeah, but you both had to deal with me not RTFM lol

cunning wolf Nov 26, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

It's cool. We've had far worse 😉

lone dagger Nov 26, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

haha

sly kindle Nov 26, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

@lone dagger port 80 isn't needed as the addon uses dns auth

lone dagger Nov 26, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

excellent

#

thanks

#

incidentally, I totally read the documentation and performed that step but at the wrong point in the process which resulted in it being farted back out by the config validation so I commented it out. Then foolishly forgot all about it

#

oh well

#

success now

#

boom

sly kindle Nov 26, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

ah...yeah if you have the config, but not the cert, you get errors

lone dagger Nov 26, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

yeah

#

now to have a fight with SmartThings...

cunning wolf Nov 26, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

Zigbee sensors? Consider moving to a Zigbee method that doesn't need a proprietary hub. See #zigbee-archived for more info.

lone dagger Nov 26, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

I have a raspbee installed and that's dealing with a bunch of xiaomi sensors

#

but it doesn't seem to pick up an old smartthings smart plug

#

Hello there, I'm currently having some issues with DuckDNS/NGINX add-ons for my HA running on a Raspberry Pi. My modem got reset because my ISP messed around with it, and after the reset, I get ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR when I try to access HA using my DuckDNS domain.
Any ideas what can be wrong? (didn't know which category would be appropriate for this question, so I took a chance)

#

Obviously happy to share more details if anyone is interested, but didn't want to post a wall of text here 😄

cunning wolf Nov 26, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

If you don't post all the details, a lot of people won't be bothered to help. They don't want necessarily want to engage in a discussion if it turns out they can't help you.

weary stratus Nov 26, 2020, 7:42 PM

wanton maple Nov 26, 2020, 7:53 PM

#

I wrote all the details in this reply to a post on the forums: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/duckdns-how-to-solve-err-ssl-protocol-error/174413/8?u=kodemikkel

cunning wolf Nov 26, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

You found the answer already. You also don't have to scroll back far through the chat history to see someone else solve the same problem.

#

You need to tell HA which certs to use:

ssl_certificate: /ssl/fullchain.pem
ssl_key: /ssl/privkey.pem```

wanton maple Nov 26, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

I tried that, but as I've seen on multiple sites, this isn't needed when using NGINX

#

And if I add those lines, it won't allow me to use the HA app while connected to my local network

cunning wolf Nov 26, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

Then your nginx isn't configured correctly. If your reverse proxy is handling the certificates, you wouldn't be having problems in the first place.

wanton maple Nov 26, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

Yeah, that's what I'm kinda trying to figure out..

cunning wolf Nov 26, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

Also, you don't need both the nginx add-on and the DuckDNS add-on.

#

You haven't actually shared what your nginx.conf looks like. That's probably the key thing here.

#

And you shouldn't be forwarding your router to HA, you should be forwarding your router to nginx.

wanton maple Nov 26, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

Everywhere I've read they say to forward the https (443) port to 8123 when setting this up

cunning wolf Nov 26, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

Everywhere... except for nginx documentation 🤷‍♂️

#

Your nginx is listening on 443, right?

wanton maple Nov 26, 2020, 8:04 PM

#

And for the config for NGINX add-on, I shared what I have setup there

#

But why did this setup work without any hickups earlier then?

cunning wolf Nov 26, 2020, 8:04 PM

#

This?

customize:
  active: false
  default: nginx_proxy_default*.conf
  servers: nginx_proxy/*.conf```
You don't tell us what's *inside* those files. We're not psychic.

#

Answer my questions...

#

What port is nginx listening on?

wanton maple Nov 26, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

If by listening on, you mean the port thingy you can configured under "Configuration" in the added, 443 is listed and 80 is disabled

#

Aren't those files only active if active: true? And where are those files located?

cunning wolf Nov 26, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

I have no idea. I don't use that add-on.

#

Enable both 443 and 80. Set up forwarding rules on your router for 443->443 and 80->80. Test the connection again from a device outside of your network (use the browser on your phone using cellular data).

#

Let me know when you've tested that and what the outcome is.

wanton maple Nov 26, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

Damn, setting 443->443 seems to have fixed the issue. I probably mis-remembered when I had to re-assign the port forwarding rules after the reset of my modem.
Now app works both locally and remotely (browser as well)

#

Thank you for the help on this stupid/noobish question 😄

cunning wolf Nov 26, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

It's almost as though a reverse proxy should be the entry point to your network...

#

It handles all traffic and decides where to route it.

#

The good news is you got most of it right. This could've been a lot harder 😉

wanton maple Nov 26, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

Yeah. I just thought I had forwarded differently earlier and it worked. No clue what caused it to work back then

#

Very true, again thank you 🙂 Spent like 6hrs trying to figure this stupid thing out, lmao

Hi there -- is it necessary to load HACS if you can just load repositories into the supervisor? Just curious of the benefit

#

@static wasp For starters, HACS has nothing to do with add-ons. It's neither an add-on itself, not does it install add-ons.

Hi everyone,

I've tried installing Grocy Addon (v.0.9.2) on Hass.io directly from the addon store but whenever I'm trying to add a product to the inventory I get a 404 error :
Slim\Exception\HttpNotFoundException /var/www/grocy/vendor/slim/slim/Slim/Middleware/RoutingMiddleware.php.

I've tried reinstalling the addon but doesn't change anything.

I've done some research and always end up on Frenck's same reply : "You're using an edge version, which is a dev version. There was a warning about it"
Having it installed from Hassio's addon store, I couldn't see any info on it being a stable or dev version.

Could you please tell me if the v.0.9.2 version is a dev or a stable version and how could I solve my problem as I haven't found another way ?

Hello, so I'm looking at Addons but I run a dedicated Home Assistant Core server. I was looking at the addon Github to see what is going on there.. the File Editor for example seems like it has zero actual code in the repo...

My rough understanding of the addons are that they are docker-container services that run separately from Home Assistant Core, but then basically get linked into HA via something that looks like a panel iframe? If so, shouldn't I be able to just run the file editor docker container and point it at my HASS instance?

#

I guess what I'm not seeing is the actual code that integrates this separate file editor thing into what ultimately would be a Hass.io/Home Assistant Core

When I start the Mqtt broker the following message appears :

and the broker stops

#

The broker is hosted on the localhost

#

broker:

I looked at the run.sh script from the broker but there are no calls to bashio dns functions there are only bashio log calls.

You can see for yourself who it talks to. Look in your browser's dev tools.

But there's no point you getting all angry. I doubt it's sharing your data with anyone 😉

#

Upload and download files.
Stage, stash and commit changes in Git repositories, create and switch between branches, push to remotes, view diffs.
Direct links to Home Assistant documentation and icons.
3 very reasonable reasons why it would need you to be online.

@spring carbon use the samba addon locally instead? Then you can use whatever editor you like

file editor add-on is not the single way to edit or access files.

Hey there. Does anyone else have trouble with the openzwave addon after the last update? Today I noticed that half of my radiator thermostats are no longer connected and my roller shutter devices are also gone. The appear with the "CacheLoad" status but I have no idea how to get them back to work, especially the shutters as they should function as repeaters as well... happened all over sudden without me doing something... I noticed that more thermostats failed as my heating plan stopped working and some devices turned to "off" which is something they should never do at all with the current outside temperature... 🤔

hei. quick noob question. i just installed hassio supervised and looking through Supervisor > Add-on Store i see only of couple of addons under community. waaay less than what I can find listed at https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/. is there anything else I need to do in particular so I can have all the plugins listed ?

viscid orchid Dec 1, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

Addons are not integrations

dense spadeBOT Dec 1, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

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

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/addons/

manic monolith Dec 1, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

makes sense ..

#

could you tell me what's the difference between addon and integration ?

viscid orchid Dec 1, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

Addons are separate pieces of software that run in their own containers. Integrations are loaded into HA and allow HA to communicate with other things

Or, ya know, read the links

Hi! I'm kinda new to this but can somebody tell me how to get CachedNodes back to working again? I had several nodes suddenly no longer responding and they appear as CacheLoaded but I have no idea how to get them back being responsive. Restarted OZW several times, did try "heal network" but nothing seemed to bring the devices back. It's main powered ones as well as battery operated devices... I'm kinda lost with that...
It seems like OZW no matter what I do will put the query stage to "CacheLoad" on most of the devices... can anyone help me what to do to get them back to a state where the can be operated? I don't know what causes this and how to "wake" the devices so they get the "Complete" QueryStage status again...

when you choose the plain old entity card, you should be able to specify an attribute to show.

other than plex sensors, that is

odd wave Dec 2, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

i have two computers i use as plex servers. my laptop, which draws lower power and is quieter than my desktop.

#

so at night, for example, i'll turn my desktop off and turn my laptop on.

#

but then if i want my plex library i have to unplug my external HDD from the desktop and plug it into the laptop.

#

if i had a low power computer with 24/7 uptime to use as a NAS, it would be nice. and i already have HA going.

where's the custom samba addon?

my plex server, which I've run in one form or another over +8 years is kind of precious to me. It's moved from a windows box, to an ubuntu box (better performance), to where it is now on an unraid box for the past 4 years

what are the upsides and downsides to using home panel vs the native viewer? i see it is themeable..is that it?

the supervisor checks against https://version.home-assistant.io/stable.json every 8 hours or so

or beta.json if you're in beta channel

reloading it forces that check

lovelace has theme/color support?

the presentation options are separate from the integration choices

Does some one use MoutionEye addon with HassIO? How you store your video records history? I mean usually for NVR kind stuff we use 1-2TB HDD disk.

@ebon dune I believe recent hassOS can switch the root filesystem to another disk so I think you could move everything to a larger external spinny disk

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:

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

I am trying to connect to the broker from another device on my local network using paho mqtt python. I've been able to write a program to send a message on a different MQTT broker using this before. Also, using Node-Red addon in HassIO, I am able to pub and sub to topics, so confused why there is a discrepancy.

@oblique frigate that's not an add-on. All HACs are integrations, but custom integrations

#

Or custom cards for lovelace

#

It's a store front for "unofficial" stuff

But none of them are HA add-ons

Hi! I'm working on getting adguard home to work and having a little bit of problem on the first step (the static ip one) I have followed the guide but still getting some errors when launching it and I'm certain that I have done something wrong. When setting the ipv4 address (set ipv4.address), lets say my homeassisstant is running on 192.168.2.30, what should i set it on and should i include "/24" ?

Hey, I am running Deconz as addon on Home Assistant and can not add any more devices. Have bought some Hue lights and Ikea remotes, nothing will pair. I have already 12 bulbs, 15 sensors, remotes,... But now after few months after last device added, I can not add light or remote. Have tried to reset devices and restarted Deconz. What can i do?

👋 allo people.
I'm reverse proxying Home Assistant with a pretty bog standard config.
In the ESPHome interface, whenever I try to show logs, validate a config, upload firmware, or do practically any other device function (other than edit), I see a pop-up saying "Terminated process" and nothing happens.
When I access HASS directly (as opposed to through the reverse proxy), this doesn't happen.
The ESPHome interface is an iframe, embedding https://home.mydomain.uk/api/hassio_ingress/LFlvX6K7bKX2h_N8ldlEl0olwBbmihp3NLgkEBSogaw/.
Does anybody know how I could resolve this? It's been suggested that I may need to proxy this URL directly. It'd be nice if I didn't have to do that, but I can if that's the only way 🙂

#

Please @ me if anyone responds. I'm working so may not see otherwise!

sly kindle Dec 3, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

@sour ermine you have docker

sour ermine Dec 3, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

Yes i see that now, but when i try to pull image from ha console it says command not found and i assumed that i don’t have docker i will check with portainer see if it works. Thx

sly kindle Dec 3, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

@sour ermine The SSH add-on is a container itself. If you were to use the community SSH add-on with protection mode off you would have access to Docker commands

sour ermine Dec 3, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

I directly connected to console of vm with the ha server, thats why i was sure that it doesn’t docker installed but portainer works, thx.

sly kindle Dec 3, 2020, 2:36 PM

when you are directly connected it would work, too.

You have to leave the HA cli by entering "login"

Hello fellas...

Wondering if anyone can give me a little help with my MQTT add-on (or, at least, i think thats where to start)...
Add-On loads fine, log shows the add-on picking up devices, but nothing shows in the MQTT broker integration.. (And now that I say that... im thinking, i should head also to integrations)...

sly kindle Dec 3, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

did you enable discovery when you added the mqtt integration?

#

and are your devices also using discovery?

ocean kernel Dec 3, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

yup and yup

#

so, this is just a rebuild of my old machine... but ground up...

#

all devices worked perfectly fine this morning when the OS was Ubuntu... redid the OS as Debian... not that that should make a difference on any level...

#

add-on log is showing that it is seeing the devices, no errors anywhere on the system... but the broker/integration just does not populate anything...

sly kindle Dec 3, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

it can take a minute for some devices to show up in integrations. Sometimes I have to reboot them too.

ocean kernel Dec 3, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

ive removed and readded both the integration and the MQTT server a couple times...

#

let me power cycle devices... see if that helps

#

power cycling... no go

viscid orchid Dec 3, 2020, 6:22 PM

@oblique hollow Yes, ESPHome requires additional proxy rules for the websocket. You can find threads on the web, but I believe I had to add a location of "/api/websocket" forwarded to my HA instance with these additional rules:

#

          proxy_http_version 1.1;
          proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
          proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

#

I can't find the relevant threads now, but they're out there and I did eventually get it working

oblique hollow Dec 3, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

Cheers @viscid orchid, appreciate that! Unfortunately I already have this.
This at the top of the file:

    default upgrade;
    ''      close;
}```
and then in the `server` block:

location /api/websocket {
            proxy_pass http://10.52.0.31:8123/api/websocket;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
    }

viscid orchid Dec 3, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

I'll admit that nginx is pretty much black magic for me

#

maybe it was this bit:

#

location /api/hassio_ingress {
    proxy_pass http://192.168.1.169:8123/api/hassio_ingress;
    proxy_set_header Host $host:8444;
    proxy_redirect http:// https://;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}

Good evening, I’m having severe problems with the ESP Home Addon. Every time I upload a firmware I got a 50/50 change of an flawless upload or my complete hassOS Instance is completely unresponsive for about 10 minutes including all add-ons and ha itself. I have absolutely no idea where to start looking, even native dev ssh in port 22222 is not working in that state...

cunning wolf Dec 3, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

The answer would be to compile applications on something more powerful than a Pi.

#

Considering you can do OTA updates for ESPHome, there's no reason for the add-on really. Just run the build on your 'main' computer.

hot fog Dec 3, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

@cunning wolf Good point, didn’t specified that: I’m running HassOS on a 2,3 GHz quad core nuc. In 50% of the builds it take seconds to compile and upload :(
I think it’s actually faster than my 7 year old laptop, that’s why installed it there...

cunning wolf Dec 3, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

I'm still not sure there's any value in compiling in the add-on, tbh.

#

I tried it for a while and had similar lockups. No issues running esphome.py on the command line on my PC.

hot fog Dec 3, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

Thanks for sharing that. I guess I just thought it would fit in there... I will try using esphome on my laptop

cunning wolf Dec 3, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

It's a clever idea for an add-on, and I don't mean any disrespect to whoever created it... it's just not ideal for something that can be run from anywhere.

#

If you end up having similar issues even when running it on your laptop locally, maybe it's esphome.py and not the add-on.

hot fog Dec 3, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

We will see. I will report my problems in another discord in that case 😅

hot fog Dec 3, 2020, 8:41 PM

Hi All!
I got a strange problem, the last 3 days my HA disk is starting to fill up. and fast!
Like 100GB / 24h

After a restart everything is OK.

I found today that if I just restart the Nginx Proxy Manager plugin i recover the space as well. but why?
Today just 4h between addon restart it grew 67GB that i recovered after addon restart.

Any ideas?

Yeah, problem is, I just started experimenting with this and hadn't made a snapshot yet.

#

Well, it seems to boot fully, but the UI won't load

I had duckdns installed and disabled that

But I believe I managed a successful boot after that, and it was only when installing an experimental plugin that it then messed up

Confused .. I have two RPI's (Alpha x.x.x.x & Beta y.y.y.y) running HA and DuckDNS with NGINX. These Pi's are on the same local network and both have Ports 443 forwarded to the RPI's IP addresses. I can reach both Alpha and Beta on the local network using their ip addrs x.x.x.x:8123 and y.y.y.y:8123. However, I can only reach Alpha (x.x.x.x) with the registered DuckDNS name https: Alpha.DuckDns.org and it shows a good SSL certificate. When I attempt to reach the other RPI Beta.DuckDNS.org if receive an "Your connections is not private)

#

I can ping both ip's and have also run nmap against both PI's to ensure they have the services running.

#

I've verified the SSL certificates are located in the /ssl directory.

#

I've cleared the cache on the browsers (Chrome and Brave)

Use the newest version with 2FA.

cunning wolf Dec 5, 2020, 10:55 PM

Passwords as protection are unreliable. 2FA is nearly unbeatable.

#

More people should be using 2FA for everything.

Yeah, sure. But 2FA can be really a pain in the a. For example, if you have to use your phone during the authentication process and you don't have your phone with you because you left it at home, etc.

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

my brain is exploding with trying to learn all this in a day. I will see if I can install a mosquitto broker on the Rasp Pi and see if that will be good enough, until my new RaspPi comes in and then I will do the easier path. I am happy that I could figure out how to flash Tasmota to some old smart plugs I got off of Amazon. I just want to turn one switch on and off with sunrise and sunset. But now that I see how cool and powerful Home Assistant is, I want to really learn more.

I was more thinking about launching the same procedure as for normal update of the plugin, not really create a duplicate

timber garden Dec 6, 2020, 1:00 PM

Yes this would be more convenient, also thought about that. But I think it would be easiet if you could specify the desired release channel as an enviroment variable, would that be possible? Like {RELEASE_CHANNEL} or so

viral crystal Dec 6, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

Yes for sure that'd be ideal, but this is something that'd require a change from the addon maintainers

dark yoke Dec 6, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

Yes, but no.
Non-local (development) add-ons are ment to be static, if this was a possibility you would need to rebuild on each start, and at that point you are in the same situation as running it as a local (development) addon

cunning wolf Dec 6, 2020, 3:59 PM

MQTT brokers never send, they only listen.

Something else has to subscribe to your broker to see the changes. It's more likely that's where your problem is.

My HA is able to get messages from the mqtt broker

I cannot figure out the duckdns/port forwarding. I installed the hass.io image on a pi 3. Followed some guides and got the basics setup correctly. But when I did the duckdns, I couldn't get it to work and now broke something. I got my key and subdomain and changed my config file. Then I tried to setup port forwarding. Now I can't access home assistant like I was (ipaddress:8123), and if I try to access via subdomain, it just directs to my router login. I can't check any settings in home assistant because now I can't even login. I'm willing to start with a fresh install, but I think I'd end up in a similar position

sly kindle Dec 6, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

@harsh basin once you add the lines to configuration.yaml you can only reach it using https:// in your browser

#

http:// will no longer work

#

so https://local_ip:8123 should show you a warning in your browser, which you can advance through

#

or https://homeassistant.local:8123

harsh basin Dec 6, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

that fixed the issue as far as getting into home assistant login again. thanks.

sly kindle Dec 6, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

not really a fix. That's just how it works

harsh basin Dec 6, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

well it fixed MY issue

sly kindle Dec 6, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

lol

#

so the part where you get to your router indicates a router admin page is enabled

#

what port are you forwarding?

#

Everything is configured correctly it seems, in regard to duckdns and your config

harsh basin Dec 6, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

this is what I have right now (netgear router). I had previously had 443 instead of 8123 and was trying different things I saw in various forums

#

thought I could paste an image. I'll type it out. I have external start port and internal at 8123, then internal start port and end port both also at 8123

#

but I did try it with 8123 and 443 (though now I can't remember if I did it for internal or external) I was following a guide

sly kindle Dec 6, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

external 8123 to internal 8123 means you would need to include :8123 at the end of your url

#

external 443 to internal 8123 means you would not need :8123

#

so https://yourduckdns.org:8123 or https://yourduckdns.org depending on which you've done

harsh basin Dec 6, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

oh dang. ok is that the only difference? is one preferable to the other?

cunning wolf Dec 6, 2020, 6:58 PM

Not having to remember to type a port number every time is normally preferable.

edit: trying for the 25th time, it now works. As far as I can tell, nothing changed. But it's working now.
I think all of my issues are related to my complete lack of knowledge for networking. I'm trying to learn, but there are things I just don't understand. I installed nodeRED and updated config in a few different ways based on suggestions I found online (all iterations of SSL true/false for example). Every guide I have seen shows clicking the "open web ui" and it goes to nodeRED dashboard. When I click it, I get 502: bad gateway. Can't connect via IP either. I have duckdns set up and setup port forwarding for that and also for nodeRED. But I'm stumped.

Starting a computer and shutting it down (short tutorial)

First you need to setup WOL (wake on lan) on home assistant. You can do so by making a switch in which later on you can implement in automations. You can do so by adding the following script to your configuration.yaml

  - platform: wake_on_lan
    name: computer_on_button
    mac: [put the macaddress of you pc here]
    host: [computer internal pc address here, for example 192.168.1.100]```

You can do the same for a new samsung tv. find the option "ip of remote" in the settings and turn it on.

When this is set reboot HASS

Go to your pc - configuration - device management and go to network. Select your network device and go to properties. Go to power management en turn on magic packaging to get pc out of sleepmode. (sorry for my bad translation)

After that reboot pc and go into bios. In here find the option: power on with pci-e and turn that on. Save and boot back to windows. You have now succesfully setup a wake on lan integration in HASS

@main marlin The add-on retrieves the certificate and files and keeps your ip address updated with Duckdns and nothing beyond that. The first step is to succeed with that step, and then configure HA to use them with the http: configuration. You've got it a little backwards there and thus the error.

#

Restart the add-on and then check the addon logs

I'm using the AdGuard addon. But when I use certain price matching sites and hit a link to see a product it takes me to https://ad.doubleclick.net/blablbablalbalbal/https://realwebpage.com . Is there a way to get rid of the ad.doubleclick.net from the URL without whitelisting it? It's hard to teach the rest of the family to remove various weird stuff from the URL to open sites. 🙂

cunning wolf Dec 8, 2020, 10:21 AM

#

I doubt AdGuard can rewrite URLs for you. To a browser, that would look like a man in the middle attack.

#

You need to run something on the browser itself to identify and rewrite those addresses.

Perhaps easier to just whitelist ad.doubleclick.net 😛

This relates to duckdns.org, SSL, tasmoadmin & ngnix.
Hi peoples, I am running hass.io o/s on a raspberry pi3+ and so far all is running well. Or at least like the other 25+ hassos instants I have installed. I have just installed the latest version (installed from scratch) today. (HassOS 4.17, Supervisor 2020.12.6). I am attempting to lock down the configuration in an AirBNB location and was attempting to integrate NGNIX. All worked fine with the base https://xxx.duckdns.org/ external connection & with in house https://xx.xx.xx.xx:8123/ connection, and with node-red add-on, but when I use an add-on in my case TasmoAdmin which uses port :9541 I can not connect to it. I suspect this is due to the configuration of NGNIX. So I am attempting to understand how I can configure NGNIX from with in hassos. This seems to be missing from the documentation. Additionally I cant not see in any logs as what is happening to the network connections. Hope someone can point me in the correct direction or to a blog which has some additional ideas. Just seems somethings are not fully expanded apon.

Hope people can help!

ocean kernel Hey guys... anyone familiar with Room Assistant... and PIR sensors?

are these bluetooth pir sensors?

ocean kernel Dec 10, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

no, hard wired

#

with raspberry pi zeros

#

i missed something, and im not sure what... HA seems to be seeing them fine... but they seem to not be sending state changes

sly kindle Dec 10, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

@ocean kernel what integration do they use?

#

and how does it relate to room assistant

ocean kernel Dec 10, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

Room Assistant

#

MQTT

#

room assistant is the add-on that monitors their state

#

MQTT is what is supposed to report the state

#

but.. i think the problem is on the Pi side... i THINK im not getting input from the sensor... digging into a python code that will hopefully help me troubleshoot (its so much more difficult without decent logs)

sly kindle Dec 10, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

room assistant uses bluetooth and mqtt. I'm not familiar with using it and pir sensors. I assume those would be separate things

ocean kernel Dec 10, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

sort of...

#

room assistant is built with the main purpose of monitoring BT as it gets closer to/ further away from a BT receiver...

#

However, it is also able to use a PIR sensor (or switch of another type) to send "room occupancy" signals to HA

#

BUT... my Pis dont seem to want to monitor the GPIO they're hooked to (at least according to my interpretation of the feedback from a python script i just cobbled together)

#

i=0
while i < 4 :
        import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
        GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
        GPIO.setup(23,GPIO.OUT)
        if GPIO.input(23):
                print('Input was HIGH')
        else:
                print('Input was LOW')
        GPIO.cleanup()
        continue

#

gives back nothing but "Input was LOW" when it should be dumping out "Input was HIGH" when the PIR detects motion

Hi, is there some way to know the size GB of an addon? My backup is 3.5GB and if it's possuble I want to know what are the bigger parts

sly kindle Dec 10, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

@ocean kernel #diy-archived might be a better place to check

ocean kernel Dec 10, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

sounds good...

sly kindle Dec 10, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

@ocean kernel just based on...you're using some of your own python, and making use of GPIO. 😛

ocean kernel Dec 10, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

oh, no... im just using the python for testing...

#

it should just be a script that basically dumps out "MOTION" when the motion sensor detects motion.... solely for testing purposes... RA would handle this normally in the background simply by monitoring the GPIO...

sly kindle Dec 10, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

are you using room assistant BT in combination with that?

ocean kernel Dec 10, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

i would be, yes

sly kindle Dec 10, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

ok

ocean kernel Dec 10, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

BT is for room permenance... PIR would be for entry detection

#

so... you walk into living room, immedialtey the lights turn on because the PIR detected motion... if you leave, they'll stay on for 5 minutes... if you sit down and continue to make no motion, the motion sensor will think youve left the room, so it also monitors BT... so that if you dont leave the room, the lights still stay on until told not to...

#

or... at least... thats the theory

sly kindle Dec 10, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

right. sounds good anyway

ocean kernel Dec 10, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

i built a magic mirror with the same sort of basis... but, that went WAY smoother... same devices...

Hello...i need help with Mqtt server/broker settings...I try many time but i no have data from my inverter..I follow many guide,but not related to Home Assistant later version...so I think i miss something...First problem is Mqtt Ip server setting...which ip should i use?...the same HA interface ip?.....and username and password?...where i put? in yaml file...in Mqtt broker settings?

#

i already create a new user in Home assistant..and used that for mqtt server password...

#

where have to put username-password and Ip and port? in comfiguration.yaml...and also in mosquito broker setting?...can not understand...i m noob here...but i follow and follow again guides...some say no need Ip and password because Ha uses user and password from system...

#

some guide say to put ip 0.0.0.0....i try...but no work...

#

please need help

viscid orchid Dec 10, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

a) you use the IP of your Home Assistant machine

#

b) it uses Home Assistant users, so you don't need to specify logins if you don't want to:

#

Option: logins (optional)
A list of local users that will be created with username and password. You don’t need to do this because you can use Home Assistant users too, without any configuration. If a local user is specifically desired:

#

c) don't put anything in configuration.yaml. you can configure the broker that HA uses through Configuration->Integrations

#

in short, just follow the addon docs

spark current Dec 10, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

a...you mean the same Ip i use to connect to ssh or in th ebrowser to access home assistant?

#

i try many time...but no result

viscid orchid Dec 10, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

review the addon logs

#

and install http://mqtt-explorer.com/ to ensure that you can connect to the broker

spark current Dec 10, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

have you reviewed the addon logs?

#

what IP address do you use to log in to HA?

spark current Dec 10, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

192.168.96.116

ocean kernel Dec 10, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

then that is the IP address of your MQTT broker... assuming you are using the MQTT add-on in Home assistant

spark current Dec 10, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

yes i m using that one from HA

viscid orchid Dec 10, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

0.0.0.0 just means "accept connections from anyone". It's not the IP that you use to connect to the broker

spark current Dec 10, 2020, 7:31 PM

i would say, a rail system that the panels are mounted on on 1 motor for X axis... and another rail system that the first rail system is mounted on and driven by a motor for Y axis...
Then add automation... you should be able to pull Y angle from a weather page linked with your exact coordinates... and do a little math on how high the sun is throughout the day/year... then east west is pretty easy... you know how long a day is, just set start position and end position... then move the X axis across those two positions in the amount of time your day lasts...

#

If you don't know much about computers... the image based one is better. #330990055533576204

#

If you want to install the supervised one, there's only one official way to install it. It's described in the pins in #330944238910963714

#

I have no idea. Ask in that channel.

This channel is for add-ons 😉

spark current Dec 10, 2020, 8:35 PM

cunning wolf Dec 10, 2020, 8:36 PM

cunning wolf Dec 10, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

Yes. Your add-on doesn't work because your installation is broken.

#

Fix your installation first

#

This is 100% not an add-ons conversation anymore.

@spark current Please use the right channel for your question - all these channels exist for a reason

spark current Dec 10, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

i m new here so i dont understand...i asked help for Add_On Mosquito Mqtt...is this the right place?

jade wing Dec 10, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

For that, yes, but not with your diversion to asking whether #330990055533576204 can use the GPIO

cunning wolf Dec 10, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

Or about DIY solutions to solar panel tracking 🤷‍♂️

jade wing Dec 10, 2020, 8:56 PM

This is, thankfully, not rocket science - each channel has a name and a topic that describes what's on topic

Rules are rules... and you're being told by a mod now too.

You do have choices. You can follow the rules or you can... leave.

jade wing Dec 10, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

When somebody directs you to a different channel, listen 😉

spark current Dec 10, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

jump to another tread?...and invite the other to follow me there?

jade wing Dec 10, 2020, 9:03 PM

Just head over, don't invite/tag anybody

This is how it works

spark current Dec 10, 2020, 9:03 PM

jade wing Dec 10, 2020, 9:04 PM

I think you mistake this for a different reality

spark current Dec 10, 2020, 9:04 PM

what you mean?

jade wing Dec 10, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

The whole free speech thing has nothing to do with forums, Discord, etc 😉
