fringe crater flip the breaker and flip it back and see if it turns on

They do indeed. The compound is supplied with underground power wires straight from the nearby transformer station, using PEN (shared ground/neutral). Should I grab an oscope, differential probe and produce some results for my power company to fix?

#

No other devices in the household exhibit signs of unstable power, although all of my servers and 3d printers do have meanwells/seasonics so those should filter out even the trashiest inputs

glacial oracle Sep 14, 2024, 4:04 PM

it probably wouldnt just turn on a single bulb

like they shouldnt be that sensitive to it

Also yes, and curiously, not a random one of 5.

glacial oracle Sep 14, 2024, 4:06 PM

i think to remember that bulbs/plugs turning on at random usually has been just a bug in whatever tuya based rebrand product people bought on #zigbee-archived

#

not sure if and how they resolved that

formal fjord Sep 14, 2024, 4:07 PM

#

Well those are livarno LIDL branded bulbs. They're exquisitely cheap, barely more expensive than regular bulbs. Not apparent by the build quality either, surprisingly.

#

I hope it's not something retarded like a UINT16 counter rolling over in their crappy FW

#

Still, they do have a do-not-disturb mode. I believe this might fix the issue, but I need to hide this setting from the Overview page. How do I do that? I use Zigbee2Mqtt for binding my devices

toggling the master bedroom slider does NOT affect the state of Do Not Disturb (Power State after Power Loss)
Do not Disturb sliders are actually not visible in the default Overview UI, but the master Ceiling Lamp X control still is
I can still control it through "low level" means, such as from the Zigbee2MQTT exposes page or elsewhere

"hide them"?

#

you're thinking about it backwards

#

you just add whatever you want to your new dashboards once you "take control"

you dont have to hide anything just dont add it

as far as how to do all the things for frontend you gotta ask the nerds in #frontend-archived

Eck. So custom control panel it is

#

I'm guessing then that hiding bindings from overview would also hide them from the system for automations and stuff, and that's simply unadvisable as Overview is meant to list everything?

Marking entities as Hidden does nothing but remove them from autogenerated dashboards. They will still work normally in every other way.

You can still find them, still toggle them, still add them to manual dashboards.

Interesting! This works also when entities are added through Zigbee2MQTT? At which level do I control their visibility?

And it does work for individual controllable properties within one zigbee entity rather than the whole device right?

You can disable individual devices in Z2M ([device] > Settings > Disabled). This will disable the device in MQTT, but still allow it to work in the mesh. https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/configuration/devices-groups.html#common-device-options. Then you can disable the entities for it in HA as well.

formal fjord Sep 14, 2024, 6:49 PM

#

The point is not to hide/disable the device entirely, but merely a specific exposed control (here, the power on start behavior). I was wondering whether that can be done through means other than a custom dashboard

slim lagoon Sep 14, 2024, 6:50 PM

#

Oh, just disable the entity then. That prevents it from being used in HA.

formal fjord Sep 14, 2024, 6:50 PM

#

not too good with the terminology. An entity is a one-of-many capability (ie. color) exposed by the device?

fringe crater Sep 14, 2024, 6:51 PM

#

depends on the device

#

a light entity will wrap both the on/off and the color and brightness. some integrations expose switch entities for on/off, and other entities to control other settings

#

you just have to look at your device and see what it has

cyan lichen Sep 14, 2024, 7:06 PM

GU10 is a pretty terrible form factor for LED bulbs, not enough heat dissipation ability. So that limits the max brightness per bulb quite a bit :(

I was thinking about simple logic with light state check (I'll have smart relays). So if the light is off, turn it on. If it was on, then turn it off. Yes, if second person enters the first one will start screaming but that will be part of the fun ^^
There will be a classic switch nearby anyway for "permanent ON" (i might add some hard-timeout to force the light off just in case someone forgets). Its just the auto-light will be much better for quick "go in, grab socks, get out" scenario.

Some are nicer to handle as they show more information on the display and provide all the features on the device itself, some are more robust, some provide more configuration features via zigbee that might not be able to be configured by hand. It's just compromises.

@fringe moon I have had xiaomi sensors for about 3 years, never changed batteries. I even had them outdoors (under shade) for about 2 years now, and the temperatures can go extreme. Gearbest took about 3 weeks, and they came from mainland China.

Yeah I have a xiaomi square button outside as a doorbell

inside too

#

with zigbee2mqtt you can use seconds \ amounts of presses \ long press too

you cannot with the xiaomi hub

so I can do an automation with 16 clicks

I'll do that just to annoy the wife

@fringe moon Yes, I have them for a garage door button

Two questions... 1) I'm going to be installing floodlights, a PIR motion sensor, and an IP cam in roughly the same area. What's the ideal positioning for lights to PIR (do LED lights trigger PIR? don't want to create a feedback loop) and lights to camera?

winged knoll Jan 30, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

I'd ensure that the floods are forward/sideways of the camera, so that you don't get reflections or glare destroying the view

#

PIR and camera you really have to place where they're going to work best, you've got more freedom with the lights

Hi guys! I have four speakers mounted on my kitchen ceiling, but I don’t yet have an amplifier. Back in the day I would probably try hack something together with a raspberry pi and hifiberry hat, and try to get other speakers in the house play in sync etc... but I reckon there must be already existing solutions out there today. Are there any that play particularly well with Home Assistant? Sonos is pricey, but is it also good and hassle free?

turbid canopy Jan 30, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

I have a light that's controlled by a closed-loop switch (inline switch on the black line wire, no neutral), but the proper lines are run through another switchbox. I'm thinking of putting a Shelly in the other switchbox, and removing the switch at the control box. I still want local control, though. Is there some sort of battery-operated thing that I could put in the control switchbox that can communicate with HA as a "soft" switch?

winged knoll Jan 30, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

Any reason you couldn't run cables from the switch to the Shelly?

#

Beyond that, any Zigbee or Z-Wave battery switch/remote will work

turbid canopy Jan 30, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

So the main kitchen light switchbox has black/white/ground for both the kitchen lights and the dinette lights. But that switchbox only controls the dinette lights. I've already put a ZW dimmer in there.

#

I'd guess that at the light box, rather than running the black wire directly to the fan, runs to the dinette switch and back

#

also, my house was designed by designers, not engineers. There is absolutely no crawlspace access anywhere near the kitchen, so running cables = drywall work

#

The attic is exclusively over the garage. Kinda sucks

winged knoll Jan 30, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

Then any Zigbee/Z-Wave battery powered switch/remote will work

#

I use that kind of setup in various places

turbid canopy Jan 30, 2020, 9:38 PM

#

there was crawlspace over the den (adjacent to garage) that they couldn't crawl through, but were able to run PEX through. Then up and over the foyer, into the dining room, and over to the kitchen. I want to run Cat6 into that area, but there's just no way

#

I did manage to run fiber/cat6 from the den to the attic before the drywall guys came though, so at least I got that

turbid canopy Jan 30, 2020, 9:40 PM

So, is there some sort of ZW/ZB switch/remote that resembles a decora rocker switch? I just want it to look like my other light switches lol

#

I just want a battery-operated switch, at the switchbox, to control a Shelly

tacit plinth Jan 30, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

And you don't have a wire from the switch that you can tie into a GPIO?

turbid canopy Jan 30, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

Nope. Shelly would be in another switchbox (that already has a dimmer for another light - just happens to be the box where I can access all the wires)

#

The control switch currently is just an inline switch on the black wire

#

So I'd remove the switch, tie the black wire together (always on), and let the Shelly control the power, and have a battery-powered thing at the switchbox to control the shelly (on/off/brightness)

tacit plinth Jan 30, 2020, 9:52 PM

if i just use the sonoff to turn it on the tv wont turn on byitslef

by itself

#

i guess with a fireTv is not needed a sonoff

fair owl Jan 31, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

Unless the TV has some option in settings to make it power on automatically best bet would probably be to get yourself an IR transmitter and have it send the command to bring the TV out of standby say 1 second after closing the relay

Anyone using a danalockv3 with zigbee2mqtt? My state isn't being showed correctly, it always shows up as "Unlocked", but zigbee2mqtt sends another state (Locked)

#

It should be configured like this:

lock:
  - platform: "mqtt"
    state_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/<FRIENDLY_NAME>"
    availability_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/state"
    command_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/<FRIENDLY_NAME>/set"
    value_template: "{{ value_json.state }}"

But HA shows it like this:

#

The state_attr "state" is LOCK, but the state of the entity itself deosn't update to that state

vagrant moss Jan 31, 2020, 12:02 PM

#

@tepid briar I got alot of problems with the DanalockV3 aswell. I'm not using Zigbee2mqtt though. I use the zwave version.

#

Have you updated to latest danalock firmware? Have you re-calibrated the lock?

tepid briar Jan 31, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

I’ve recalibrated the lock twice today, it looks fine both in the app and the log files of Zigbee2mqtt, I think it’s an issue related to HA

vagrant moss Jan 31, 2020, 12:04 PM

Okay! I re-calibrate it once a week. Because of the states not showing.

cool. @zealous dune how did u managed the RGB <> RGBW problem?

zealous dune Jan 31, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

i wasn't aware there is a problem

drifting grove Jan 31, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

problems find me, thats pretty normal 🙂 the light card just use RGB, the buld is RGBW. so, one channel missing, or in ohter words: no way to mix the W to the RGB

#

what i did is:

  rgb_value_template: "{% set red = (value_json.Color.split(',')[0] | round(0)) %}{% set green = (value_json.Color.split(',')[1] | round(0)) %}{% set blue = (value_json.Color.split(',')[2] | round(0)) %}{% set white = (value_json.Color.split(',')[3] | round(0)) %}{{ red + white }},{{ green + white }},{{ blue + white }}"
  rgb_command_template: "{% set white = ([red,green,blue]|min) %}{{ red - white }},{{ green - white }},{{ blue - white }},{{ white }}"

zealous dune Jan 31, 2020, 12:47 PM

or you could've used rgbwwtable command in tasmota

drifting grove Jan 31, 2020, 12:48 PM

#

ok, i didnt get it. does this set tasmota to handle the RGB RGBW thing, and HA than is just sending normal RGB or how does this work?

zealous dune Jan 31, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

yes

#

White Blend Mode mixes in the white channel with RGB colors while controlling the RGB light

#

that's what you're after isn't it?

drifting grove Jan 31, 2020, 12:52 PM

#

pretty much yes. of course who doesnt wanna have the feature to set color temp and such... but im pretty happy when this thing is out of HA cause it produces a lot of lines in the log...

that's how i use my lights and i really like the results

drifting grove Jan 31, 2020, 12:53 PM

i'll try that now. gimme a sec ps

#

wait... in tasmota console i need to enter RGBWWTable 255,255,255,X,Y so, whats the correct values for X and Y?

#

read from the beginning again

#

neither am i... but it works the same for rgbww

drifting grove Jan 31, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

what does the X in RGBWWTable 255,255,255,X,Y mean? how bright the CW channel is turned up even if HA sends 255,255,255 ? is this how it works?

#

(4 channel is CW, 5th channel is WW

zealous dune Jan 31, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

you adjust the brightness of x if your white overpowers the rgb

#

i don't really see where you're finding the Y

drifting grove Jan 31, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

aaaaaaaaaaahh!!! ok, got it. Y is an placeholder for explaining to you wich value i mean.

zealous dune Jan 31, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

Y = 0 if white blend mode is active

#

always 0

drifting grove Jan 31, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

häh? now im really lost... 255,255,255,0,0 then?

zealous dune Jan 31, 2020, 1:03 PM

can you please just do what it says in the first paragraph, right after White Blend Mode title header

#

notice the (optional) in the Calibration title aka you don't have to do it

#

how do you intend to do that unless you know what the basic command does?

@little sentinel I have used philips hue for multiple years and it has worked great. Hue has cheaper bulbs now (depending on the ones that you want). If I were to go over and re-do my system, I would probably have used more SonOff devices and used philips hue only in places where I wanted a dimmer capability. Or I would also explore other bulb brands (like TP link)

#

or something that supports Z-Wave

glossy prism Jan 31, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

i'm assuming you're talking about the HUSBZB-1 when you mention the zigbee/z-wave stick

#

i have one and like it

stray yew Jan 31, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

I guess I know more about the lower level zigbee stuff than what is supported in Hass.io

#

I have a pi4 setup right now running everything.

glossy prism Jan 31, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

#zigbee-archived has info on which sticks support which integration

stray yew Jan 31, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

it's so damn slick

#

ooooh

#

see, there's #zigbee-archived and #zwave-archived

glossy prism Jan 31, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

indeed

stray yew Jan 31, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

and my understanding is that they do similar things with different hubs.

#

and devices support one or the other, right?

glossy prism Jan 31, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

yeah

winged knoll Jan 31, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

There are a handful that support both, but it's rare

#

The TL/DR is that Z-Wave is expensive, but it all works together. Zigbee is cheap, and it might not, or might require some work/cursing/luck.

stray yew Jan 31, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

I'm seeing this thing: HUSBZB-1 all over the place in suggestions, as well as a Conbee II

#

And there's also an Aeotec Z-Stick which some people seem to suggest

winged knoll Jan 31, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

For Z-Wave, buy a stick for your region (see the Z-Wave docs)

#

For Zigbee, buy a stick that works with the integration you decide on (see the #zigbee-archived channel topic)

stray yew Jan 31, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

Thanks man. Good advice

winged knoll Jan 31, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

If you're in the US/Canada and wanting to use zha and Z-Wave, then the HUSBZB-1 is a reasonable choice, if you're living elsewhere, or want to use something else for Zigbee, it's a terrible choice 😉

SwitchBot Registration

foggy pecan Feb 1, 2020, 7:48 AM

change switch_bot to something else

jagged oak Feb 1, 2020, 7:52 AM

#

i tried changing switch_bot to something else but I keep getting errors.

shrewd raven Feb 1, 2020, 11:44 AM

#

try this:

switch:
 - platform: command_line
    switches:
      switch_bot:
        friendly_name: Living Room Light Switch
        command_on: curl -X POST https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/living_room_lights_switch/with/key/k0Vrib2BQABHonFmjrqFCuQQtCtAZHKbKu3yFJi9MeJ

#

I also have a problem with the command line switch. this is my config:

switch
  - platform: command_line
    switches:
      tv_power:
        friendly_name: TV Power
        command_on: ... (redacted)
        command_off: ... (redacted)
        value_template: "{{ is_state('binary_sensor.lg_tv', 'on') }}"

unfortunately the switch doesn't update when the binary_sensor.lg_tv changes, I guess it only checks it during command execution. Is there a way to update the state of the switch whenever the binary sensor in the value template changes?

#

For the background: I can control my TV by sending IR signals using the command line. But to get the state, I use a binary sensor (Ping) to check if the TV is on (-> connected to wifi). Unfortunately this means that the binary_sensor doesn't change immediately, as the TV takes time to power on or off. Is there any way to fix this behavior?

quartz lodge Feb 1, 2020, 12:22 PM

#

drop is state to just state

#

nvm ...i am wrong

#

i was thinking of something else ...you could add entity_id: binary_sensor.lg_tv for to it react with state changes according to docs

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/switch.template/#entity_id

shrewd raven Feb 1, 2020, 12:42 PM

#

I misunderstood how the command_line switch works. value_template is only used to parse the result of command_state. If command_state is not defined, value_template is never evaluated. From command_line/switch.py

    def update(self):
        """Update device state."""
        if self._command_state:
            payload = str(self._query_state())
            if self._value_template:
                payload = self._value_template.render_with_possible_json_value(payload)
            self._state = payload.lower() == "true"

#

Woudn't it make sense to be able to support a value_template independent of command_state to be able to bind a command line switch to an existing binary_sensor? Or is there another smarter way to do this that I'm not thinking of? Maybe @gray citrus @plush orbit can offer some advice here?

#

I now simply added a command_state: "echo 1" to the configuration which enables the value template and now it works. I think the correct behavior should be to execute a value template regardless of whether a command state exists or not

Although the current sensor in the s6 is little too sensitive than the s5 when it comes to motor driver. So if you have thick carperts s5 does a better job of not getting stuck.

@cerulean trail if you are married, you would know that the wife gets to use the mute button on you than you get to use on her. So the mute button is a mute point at this time. 😛

Nest and ecobee, ecobee would be better now unless you want to take the badnest route.

shrewd raven Feb 1, 2020, 3:00 PM

homematic thermostats are pretty cool. their central control unit (CCU) can be directly integrated into homeassistant and doesn't rely on any cloud service. plus the control unit software is open source, so you can just run it on your pi (needs a cheap hardware add on)

Hello guys, I have rgb light with limitlessled integration. I can control on/off/color and brightness as expected but I want to control on/off from another switch. How can I combine these 2 devices? Thank you

winged knoll Feb 1, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

HA can detect that switch being controlled?

tiny ferry Feb 1, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

Yes but when I do that and open both at same time, lights enters pairing mode and keeps flashing. So I need disable on/off from light integration

#

light bulb connected sonoff slampher

winged knoll Feb 1, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

Not sure what you mean by the light entering pairing mode

#

Did you connect a smart light to a socket you're controlling with a smart switch?

tiny ferry Feb 1, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

Yes I connected light to smart switch. Light controlled by milight bridge and home assistant connected to that bridge via limetless integration.

#

each bulb has pairing mode for first setup to connect the bridge.

winged knoll Feb 1, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

Don't connect the smart light to the smart switch...

tiny ferry Feb 1, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

I have to

winged knoll Feb 1, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

Good luck then

tiny ferry Feb 1, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

I thought somehow I can combine two devices

winged knoll Feb 1, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

You're cutting power to the smart light, making it dumb, and apparently putting it into pairing mode

#

The easy answer is don't do that

tiny ferry Feb 1, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

I have sonoff slampher connected to light and I can control it from home assistant or 433 Mhz buttons. I made it in case of home assistant not work. People wants to open lights when they push button 😄

#

I want to control them from HA so I find this solution

#

everthing works perfect except turning on from light component

winged knoll Feb 1, 2020, 7:48 PM

#

You could use a template light #integrations-archived

#

But, that won't stop the problem of pairing mode

tiny ferry Feb 1, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

thank you I will try 😉

Problem:
One of my Sonoff basic had bad WiFi connections for almost 2 years and last weeks it lost all configurations twice. I planned to get ideas here, what could be the cause.

Investigation:
However, today I started to replace the sonoff with another Sonoff basic, but right away got the same bad WiFi connections. I had to investigate further and discovered a "just"-connected neutral wire in the main power connector. Now everything works fine.

Conclusion:
So a "just"-connected wire can trouble the power supply for the ESP8285 and wifi, while the main power does well.

languid karma Feb 1, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

Did anyone already configured a sonoff tasmota through mqtt within HA ?

#

I can achieve to nonfigure mine

languid karma Feb 1, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

I am not sure if I should configure them as switch or binary_sensor

tiny ferry Feb 1, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

@languid karma you can use SetOption19 for auto discovery in home assistant. It will automatically configure it. Just type SetOption19 1 in tasmota command line

languid karma Feb 1, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

It does not seems to do anythin

#

what sohuld i see within ha ?

#

sonoff_xxx ?

#

@tiny ferry

tiny ferry Feb 1, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

you should see switch.xxx on home assistant

#

just type SetOption19 on tasmota command line. what is response?

languid karma Feb 1, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

says its turned on but i see noyhing within HA (looks like my HA autodiscovery never worked)

thing is everything is configured following HA doc but nothing happens and the switch is reported as unavailable

#

it does not send any mqtt message

zealous dune Feb 1, 2020, 11:32 PM

then you have issues with your mqtt broker

languid karma Feb 1, 2020, 11:50 PM

my mqtt broker is fine

I can manually send messages to it and read them also. It does also trigger the mqtt clients perfectly

only the tasmota integration is not working

assuming that definined states through the states page should works

can you control the tasmota device from the mqtt dev panel?

“Cool mist” or “warm mist”

#

Cool mist i guess

#

Lol I only had a suggestion for a cool mist one, Vick’s brand

#

Issue with a lot of the ultrasonic cool mist ones is you can’t set them to go on w/ power

#

They have a button you have to press

#

Yeh thats what im afraid of, because ofcourse i want to have it automated :D

#

I’d just go to amazon and find any that has a turn knob for the on/off switch

#

Yeh i think thats the best option to be honest

i don't mind a few dips once in a while. heck the energy bridge I have refuses to provide data a few dozen times a day.. not a real issue to me.

glossy prism Feb 2, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

You can also connect ecobee to home assistant via HomeKit controller and get local control, but with fewer features

#

As in, no access to comfort settings. But I built my tstat schedule in home assistant with automations, input_number sliders, etc. so it doesn't really affect me

can someone explain why some physical devices show up in the Devices UI while some do not? I thought initially that perhaps it was only Devices that were loaded as a result of an Integration, but that doesn't seem to be the case. For example: my GE/Jasco and Zooz switches show up as Devices, but my Inovelli switches do not. Is this something that the manufacturer has to implement in their firmware?

@past egret MagicHome isn't supported yet, it is expected though: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/28581

So most likely in a future Home Assistant version.

sinful bear Feb 2, 2020, 6:06 PM

@glossy prism still a little confused why some devices show up without an official integration (e.g. Zooz & GE switches). They even state 'No Integration' in the UIs Integration column

mild mica Feb 2, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

Are there any washing machine that can be integrated into HA? There doesn't seem to be such a category on the website

glossy prism Feb 2, 2020, 6:07 PM

@sinful bear same thing. Not all integrations can be configured in the UI. Most require a manual entry in configuration.yaml

#

Doesn't mean they're not official

I want to add remote controllable LED dimmers to a pair of existing lamps and am happy to rewire them but have seen plug-in inline smart dimmers that would simplify things.

@glossy prism got it. So those Zooz switches and the GE/Jasco switches are showing up as Devices because the Vera integration I'm using (in configuration.yaml) supports showing them as Devices. The Inovelli switches are not, because Vera doesn't support them officially (although they work with Vera as a Default Z-wave device). Do I likely have this right?

#

and since the Vera integration in HA can't be configured in the UI, the Devices it supports show up in the Devices UI as having 'No Integration'.

winged knoll Feb 2, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

Well, it's more that the Integration has to support the entity registry - if it doesn't, it won't show there

glossy prism Feb 2, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

@winged knoll was this accurate? https://discordapp.com/channels/330944238910963714/672223433907765288/673563639143464971

#

Or is the entity registry a dependency of the devices page (for the integration)

winged knoll Feb 2, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

I think it's all related

#

However, from a non dev view, it's unclear how much it's about the entity registry support, and how much depends on more

I tried to extend Homekit Controller to be able to work with Leak Detector (Aqara Leak Detector in my case). The problem I experienced was even the detector was connected with Xiaomi Gateway 3, it's visible in Mi Home app and detected any water leakage correctly, it's not available on accessories list returned by the Gateway when Homekit Controller ask for accessories for a first time. I checked it on raw response from that device. Have anyone experienced similar problem with mentioned Gateway? It looks like a firmware issue 🤔

Trying to get my HUSBZB-1 to work

     # your usb device forwarding to the docker image
     - /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB1```
relevant docker compose entry

#

those are the correct addresses for the two interfaces the device shows my host

bleak elm Feb 2, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

not sure what the problem is? other than you're mapping to a weird path (ttyUSB1)

winged knoll Feb 2, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

One will be for Z-Wave, the other for Zigbee

#

You'll need to map them individually AFAIK

bleak elm Feb 2, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

also, as a protip, i'd use the id symlink that udev creates for you

#

example:

    devices:
      - /dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00:/zwaveusbstick

#

eventually your system will mount it to a different location (+1 of the last available ttyUSBx)

Trying to roll my own sensor thing with MQTT. It almost works, but HASS never seems to notice the changes coming from MQTT. If I use mosquitto_sub I can verify the sensor is publishing changes, and I can see with the HASS mqtt log set to debug that it did subscribe to the right topic ... so I'm not sure why HASS isn't updating the value ? I don't see HASS actually picking up any MQTT changes via the log but I'm not sure if it should appear there or not

#

sensor:
 - platform: mqtt
   state_topic: home/kitchen/scale1
   name: Scale 1
   unit_of_measurement: oz
   icon: mdi:scale

#

that's how the sensor is defined in configuration.yaml

#

the sensor is publishing just a single raw value string there, not a JSON array, if it matters. HASS did pick up the value once but I just have a flat graph with no changes reported when I change whats on the scale.

#

Let me know if I should be asking in integrations instead ... ?

tawny umbra Feb 3, 2020, 11:17 AM

#

@wooden wagon still not working. i connect gpio0 to gnd but zero communication. led is not lit. i try this method on another sonoff mini and succed.

merry fable Feb 3, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

nevermind, I think there's something going weird with loading my topic from a config file vs specifying a string, that is making it not publish under the same name as HASS is listening for ... (I replaced the config loaded one, which still comes out as 'home/kitchen/scale1', with setting it directly in my python code to 'home/kitchen/scale1' and now HASS is picking up changes)

wooden wagon Feb 3, 2020, 12:04 PM

#

@tawny umbra while booting in the flashing mode the led must blink shortly, indicating ESP is in the flashing mode. if led is not shortly blinking -check power supply. it should be 3.3v or 3.2, actually it is blinking even 3.1v but i am not sure the flashing succeeds in this case. check the power level on the mini

tawny umbra Feb 3, 2020, 12:09 PM

#

@wooden wagon the usb programmer is perfect. i try another sonoff mini and worked. but i checked and 0v on 3.3v pin. maybe the regulator is dead :/

merry fable Feb 3, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

I had to convert the mqtt address/port from my config file for my sensor to utf-8 so getaddrbyhost or whatever it is wouldn't error, so I just did that to all my strings from my config file. but apparently HASS is not doing this on it's end so I had to not do this for the topic on the sensor end 🤦‍♂️

Can someone help with this issue? I have a GoControl Z-Wave Dimmable LED Light Bulb, LB60Z-1, controlled by a HUSBZB-1. It appears there are 3 presets to the bulb when I tap the icon on the frontend, it goes to full bright, but the frontend dial shows half bright. I tap again and the bulb turns off, but the frontend dial shows full bright. I tap a 3rd time and the bulb stays off, but the dial goes back down sometimes not all the way to 0%, but I see no light. In the manual it states you can change Parameter 1: Dim Level Memory from 0 to 1, 0 is default and the bulb will be a full brightness when turned on. Parameter 9: Dim/Bright Step Level, from 1-99, how much the bulb brightness will change by the controller/gateway is set by this level. Do you think I should change that to remove the 3 steps, and how do you change parameters?

Anyone able to advise if it is possible to have an auto discovery process run on a seperate IP subnet ? My haas.io box is in the office on 192.168.88.2 but all my devices are on my home lan which is 192.168.1.x

#

i saw a couple of posts that talked abut running a slave in that subnet, but if avoidable i much rather not !

tacit plinth Feb 3, 2020, 6:44 PM

@gleaming drift You really need to be layer two adjacent (physically on the same subnet) for all discovery process to work correctly across the board

How are you running HA?

You're probably technical enough then to ditch discovery and setup everything manually?

Hey All. New to HA, have it up and running with auto-discover/config with... Smartthings, TP-Link, Google home integrations all working fairly well (at least all the toggles work for individual devices), but I'm having a few issues I'm not sure where to look for solutions for.

#

The one that comes to mind at first, is I have two TP-Link smartbulbs, that don't make any sense to turn on and off individually, as they're tied to the same switch... I tried setting up a group for them, but couldn't get it to work, and I'm not sure where to go for more of a "tutorial" style documentation, instead of the simple docs on the HA site

#

I'm sure once I understand how it all ties together it'll be easier to troubleshoot these things myself, but I'm totally at a loss here. I THINK it's all auto-configuring and that's causing me issues, instead of individually setting up the devices, but even there, I'm not sure where to start

alpine thorn Feb 5, 2020, 2:48 AM

here's the example that prompted this:

someone asked about using some rando tp link smart plug to restart their router. it's not possible because it needs the router to send the 'on command'

is this how most or all smart plugs/devices work?

so what i'm asking is about a plug that can follow your programming even if the network is gone/down

drifting grove Feb 5, 2020, 5:46 AM

#

you could do it if that particular wifi plug was on it's own network connected to the ha machine. dhcp via usb dongle ect

alpine thorn Feb 5, 2020, 7:41 AM

#

i'm surprised. how difficult would it be to design a 'standalone' smart plug? like the old fashioned clicky timers.

Is this because the plugs themselves don't have enough or any processing power for this?

winged knoll Feb 5, 2020, 7:43 AM

Probably more that nobody sees the need. Doing that takes more effort than one that can be remotely controlled.

slim lagoon Feb 5, 2020, 12:20 PM

@neat notch It's not the speed of the router that really matters. Most consumer routers can typically handle a maximum of 40-50 simultaneous clients (on paper) and can realistically handle about 30-40 before starting to have issues. If you're looking at having more than 50, you'll want to start looking at enterprise networking equipment (like Unifi, Cisco, etc).

There is a pass through black wire in the recessed hole, I'm thinking of splicing that to the socket and capping the existing black wire. Though it could be the neutral that's dead, in which case that would be a waste (and I'd have to call an electrician, and probably a drywall guy)

@bleak elm AS @glossy prism said, SmartThings is cloud-based, so on slow internet, it lags. A lot of devices are being made to run locally, but I think the last count was something like 10%-15% of the total devices supported. Their rules engine, for the most part (if you can really call it a rules engine) is woefully basic and cloud-based as well.

Nah, don't blame you. I've had no issues with my Zigbee mesh at all

round horizon Feb 5, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

lol - I’m looking for opportunities to eliminate hard dependencies. I even moved out of gstreamer, mpd and custom multi room thing. Just bought a bunch of Sonos.

#

Xiaomi has been amazing so far. Haven’t even changed batteries for the past 3 years.

winged knoll Feb 5, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

Yeah, for the price I'm very happy with my Xiaomi kit

#

Not quite as configurable/flexible as I'd like, but... I can pay more money and get that

round horizon Feb 5, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

Yup. Kids love the cubes, and motion sensors are discreetly small compared to my home security motion sensors. So far I have z-wave door and window sensors, and replacing with xiaomi ones.

heavy nebula Feb 5, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

I have been happy with Xiomi as well.

#

BTW, Wyze sensors are even cheaper @round horizon

round horizon Feb 5, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

too late, @heavy nebula already bought xiaomi sensors...

#

glad I am finally out of z-wave completely!

heavy nebula Feb 5, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

I did too....but got the Wyze kit on Black Friday and I think I may add Wyze sensors in the future

#

Xiaomi has more sensors (leak, vibration, etc)

round horizon Feb 5, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

are they good - form factor wise?

glossy prism Feb 5, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

yeah the wyze sensors are nice

heavy nebula Feb 5, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

oh yeah, same form factor as Xiaomi (may be even marginally better)

round horizon Feb 5, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

yes - I don't have the leak or vibration sensors yet... I may reach the limit soon

heavy nebula Feb 5, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

how many do you have?

round horizon Feb 5, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

let me check the Mi App

#

27 so far

#

I think there is a 30 device limit with the aqara gateway. I probably have to buy another gateway for upstairs

glossy prism Feb 5, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

i only have z-wave devices because i have the HUSBZB-1 stick, otherwise i would have gone full zigbee

#

and i only have 2 z-wave devices

round horizon Feb 5, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

@glossy prism when was the last time you backed up your z-wave config from the stick?

glossy prism Feb 5, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

and 10 or so zigbee devices

round horizon Feb 5, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

ok..

heavy nebula Feb 5, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

15 here

glossy prism Feb 5, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

not counting philips hue since i'm using the bridge

heavy nebula Feb 5, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

and about 6/7 that I have not set up yet

glossy prism Feb 5, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

@round horizon the zwcfg_* file?

round horizon Feb 5, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

ok... I still have hue. O may add a few bulbs there...

#

@glossy prism the actual config from the z-wave controller. if your z-wave controller dies, all the devices that are paired with the controller will not be able to pair with another controller. It is vendor specific. Aeotec has a software, where you can export config to a folder and load them back into a new stick

glossy prism Feb 5, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

i thought the exclusion process works even if the devices are connected to another controller?

round horizon Feb 5, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

If that is the case, folks will steal devices and run through the exclusion process and make it their own 😛

#

I don't think it is that straight forward... it is better to check and backup config

winged knoll Feb 5, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

For Z-Wave you can exclude from any controller

glossy prism Feb 5, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

which i think is by design for that exact reason

winged knoll Feb 5, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

Yup

round horizon Feb 5, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

as long as you have access to the controller, and the controller is in working condition

glossy prism Feb 5, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

no like...you can exclude a device from any controller even if you don't have the one it was paired to

round horizon Feb 5, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

how do you exclude from any controller if it was not paired to begin with? that's the part I don't understand. anyway, z-wave is a history for me 🙂

glossy prism Feb 5, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

GWloopyBlobShrug i just know you can issue an exclusion command from any controller, and if you follow the exclusion steps on the device the controller will exclude it

@winged knoll sorry for the ping, I think there is a need. To have a fallback (onboard storage) in case the entire system disappears for whatever reason. Lets say you have some of them in place controlling lights for elderly parents. They won't know how to troubleshoot any issues and the hub/wifi might go down by accident. Maybe it gets unplugged or just breaks.

At the minimum, this would cause down time for those "smart" plugs which can't do anything until the network is restored. Do you see how that doesn't sound very smart? In my opinion, it should have the ability to execute basic on/off functions on it's own.

runic drift Feb 6, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

@alpine thorn they make systems like that.. but those don't cost under $100 a piece

alpine thorn Feb 6, 2020, 12:33 AM

#

damn. do people DIY their own smart home plugs? is that a thing?

runic drift Feb 6, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

sure thats possible. but I don't believe that is cost effective nor would it still give you quite the reliability an OS system would

alpine thorn Feb 6, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

not counting design, i don't think it would be expensive to produce

#

am i correct in saying that the only way typical smart plugs get a command is when sent from the app/hub?

runic drift Feb 6, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

I'm not aware of any that stores onboard memory of schedules ect, I could be wrong tho maybe some do but it's not typically advertised. and it certianly wouldn't include anything more advanced than a timer like a on at this time, off at that time

#

really all in all to achieve something your talking about you either would have to build it yourself or fork out for the commercial product that offers it

Yeah it sounds like you can't make a websocket connection to the tv

#

Are you sure it's at the same IP(+port) it used to be at?

#

Did you previously connect with websocket? You mention "new method" maybe your (old) tv doesn't support the websocket connection which isn't just a different way of configuring the same connection but a new connection type?

yea i'm dutch 🙂 IP is correct, haven't set a port since it "auto detects" it. Would setting it at 8001 work?

Just ordered a Xiaomi Mi Vacuum, what is the consensus on firmware and support in Home Assistant? Are you guys running them with the stock firmware and connecting them with the token, or rooting them for more control?

Are there any precautions as far as first time setup, will an update to the latest version make it impossible to retrieve the token or modify the firmware?

I'm struggling understanding input_boolean. I was trying to create a flow in node red where I could tell Alexa to start an activity on my harmony hub but the Alexa pallette with Nobu-Casa doesn't work. I was told to create a dummy switch via an input_boolean and point that to the flow in node-red but I can't find a good source on how to do this at least to where I understand it. I've only been using home assistant for a few weeks and never had a need for an input_boolean. Any ideas how I would write a code to create a dummy switch called "watch apple tv" that Alexa would recognize in home assistant?

Does someone make a in-line switch for lamps that is esp8266/esp32 enabled?

#

My desk lamp has a switch halfway up its cord. I have it plugged into a smart plug now, but it'd be neater to cut into the cable and replace it.

#

I know sonoff makes cheap switches, but it'd be cool to retain a phyical button and I don't think those have one

runic drift Feb 7, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

@unborn mirage didn't you ask about something like this once before?

unborn mirage Feb 7, 2020, 6:36 AM

#

Hm, not really, just thought of it. I had asked the other day if people had an in-wall light switch that they liked that didn't look/feel too cheap.

runic drift Feb 7, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

if you have a smart bulb plugged into the lamp there is nothing that will allow it to continue to have power that will replace the cord switch. with that said there are all kinds of things you can use as a "switch" per say that will control the light via HA and evven in some cases through the smart plugs own interface

unborn mirage Feb 7, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

?

#

I said it is already in a smart plug.

#

But a more ideal situation would be actually replacing the lamp's existing switch in its own cord.

runic drift Feb 7, 2020, 6:40 AM

#

there is nothing that will be a direct replacement for the in-line cord switch that will operate the bulb. that much i know. your only real options would be to find the smallest type of RF or zigbee remote switch that would have no contact with the lamp but you could maybe stick on it or something

#

everything that would go "in-line" would be some type of relay and relays would only cut the power to the bulb, not control it

unborn mirage Feb 7, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

I am lost. It's a plain old lamp, with a plain old bulb. I don't see how a relay (with a button) wouldn't perfectly replace a simple on/off toggle on the cord?

runic drift Feb 7, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

I guess you could cobble something together using an esp32 or esp8266 that could do both in essence but you'd have to build it yourself and it would be bulky

#

ohh

#

you said SMART PLUG

#

I completely misreaad

unborn mirage Feb 7, 2020, 6:43 AM

#

Yeah, I realize it would be bulky, possibly prohibitively so. But I've got some MH enclosure that are pretty tiny that could work.

you could do it pretty simply using a sonof mini...

runic drift Feb 7, 2020, 6:43 AM

#

it's late and I just had similar convo with someone the other day about this lol

#

why dosen't the smart plug not work?

unborn mirage Feb 7, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

ha, it works, but its in the power strip in the wire cable holder undre the desk. Very awkward to get to.

main dune Feb 7, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

you link your switch but can also control via any other way you like...

unborn mirage Feb 7, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

It results in ... other users... using the in-cord button and then the automation breaking, etc.

runic drift Feb 7, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

anything you put on the cord will be bulky and generally unsafe since they don't make any commercial products that really fit that aside from the sonoff basic (still unsafe imo)

unborn mirage Feb 7, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

nods

runic drift Feb 7, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

does the lamp have room in its base?

unborn mirage Feb 7, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

Yes, actually.

runic drift Feb 7, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

like big enough for a mini or shelly?

unborn mirage Feb 7, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

It's like cork too

runic drift Feb 7, 2020, 6:45 AM

then that could work

#

That's a great idea.

Probably a better idea 😉

Anyone knows a way to implement/add BDR Thermea Group thermostats to HA?
I currently have it connected to IFTTT and with Google Assistant, but can't find/think of a good way to control it through HA.

Best case scenario is that I can read the current temp. setting, and control the temp.

If anyone else is wondering, there are 2 possibilities, either with an OpenTherm gateway if it uses OpenTherm.

What’s the best PIR sensor for d1 mini

manic rampart Feb 7, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

@vencat I've got 2 different types of pir connected as a test. One is the small while dome type, one is 'microwave' type. The microwave one is much more senstive and quicker to respond

hey

#

does anyone has a link to original shelly 1 firmware?

waxen zenith Feb 7, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

I'm stuck with a state: Unavailable for my Roborock S50, IP is correct as well as the token.

#

I think my token keeps resetting

bleak elm Feb 7, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

are you sure you got the right log/token? When i first did it, i thought i did, but that token was unrelated and changed frequently (and never worked)

I got some Shelly2.5s to install in my garage where I don't have 3 way switches. Question on what you guys think about using the native MQTT on the device vs flashing with Tasmota? I don't desire to use the company's cloud services, and I have HA up and running with some sonoffs with tasmota. What do you guys think?

runic drift Feb 8, 2020, 4:38 AM

#

@strange bramble you don't need to use the cloud or MQTT or flash it if you don't want to. https://github.com/StyraHem/ShellyForHASS works like a charm

Apologies if this is the wrong section to ask - I am wanting to change the domain of my switch entities to light (without creating a copy of both switch and light entities)

The reason for this - all my light switches used to show up in HA as light; however, after the last update they now come through as switches which plays up with automations when turning all lights off as it will now turn all my smart switches off too which is less than ideal.

I thought I could possibly customize the entity; however, that doesn't seem to work.

steady hearth Feb 8, 2020, 7:30 AM

#

@pearl void what are they?

pearl void Feb 8, 2020, 8:00 AM

#

@steady hearth - They're Feibit light switches

#

integrated through deconz - pretty sure they run very similar to philips hue.

I have a Tasmota'd Sonoff iFan03 which is picked up in HA by a light.mqtt and fan.mqtt entry in my configuration file. They don't have areas associated, and I can't change the area through the UI it seems. Is there a good way to get this to work?

#

Here's the relevant portion of my config: https://hastebin.com/levidolesu.yaml

twin zinc Feb 8, 2020, 11:03 AM

#

Not sure this is the right channel, but does anyone know about an Android app that would just periodically send its sensors (camera, sound level, accelerometers even) to MQTT for use in HASS?
I just found an Huawei phone with its GSM broken so it's not much use even as a backup phone, so I'm considering just plugging it into a power outlet and having it be a remote webcam + more 🙂

shrewd raven Feb 8, 2020, 12:31 PM

#

There's the IP webcam app and a corresponding integration in HA, but I find the integration lacking. No audio and low frame rate high latency image stream

Is there a way to find my Nest token now that it's moved to Google? I have one created from an old install already

I want to return a boolean:

value_template: "{{ value_json.evses[0].status }}"

The status can be Available. how can i convert it to a boolean?

I have a UZB1 device (firmware 5.27) plugged into a rPi 3b on home assistant that is running into checksum errors - would really appreciate if anybody here can help. It's a brand new setup that has no devices paired with the UZB1 controller yet

winged knoll Feb 8, 2020, 2:17 PM

#

#zwave-archived would be where to ask, remember to mention how you installed Home Assistant

#

Ah, I see you've been crossposting 😉

ebon bison Feb 8, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

thanks @winged knoll I had asked there earlier, but am still waiting for a response. Yes, sorry about the crosspost. I am stuck and out of options 🙂

winged knoll Feb 8, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

Have a look at my answer 😉

ebon bison Feb 8, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

HA was installed using the direct image on the site

winged knoll Feb 8, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

That looks like a #zwave-archived topic

round horizon Feb 8, 2020, 2:39 PM

#

@mental forge

value_template: "{{ value_json.evses[0].status == ‘Available’ }}"

#

Make sure the quotes are correct around Available. I’m on mobile, it inserted smart quotes.

winged knoll Feb 8, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

value_template: "{{ value_json.evses[0].status == 'Available' }}"
``` for you

I'm using this for integrating my samsung smart tv: https://github.com/roberodin/ha-samsungtv-custom it says that I can define a "protocol" but when adding that to the config HA gives an error while checking the config: Invalid config for [media_player.samsungtv_custom]: [protocol] is an invalid option for [media_player.samsungtv_custom] Does this matter?

winged knoll Feb 8, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

Any errors are a bad thing 😉

hushed moth Feb 8, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

Yea but I don't understand why, it clearly states that adding protocol is possible on the github page

brazen sonnet Feb 8, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

Did something change with the discovery: where you can no longer ignore samsung_tv?

winged knoll Feb 8, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

Yes

#

As of 0.105 it's supported by SSDP not discovery

empty nacelle Feb 8, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

@hushed moth is HA the only method of control for the Samsung?

hushed moth Feb 8, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

No it's not, why?

Hi all - i'm working on a home made human-centered-lighting (HCL) system with WW/CW LED panels that are controlled via two KNX channels (0-100% for warm/cold white) .. i've been reading docs and partly sources of home-assistant and xknx to figure out how to integrate this with home-assistant (i'm a HA newbie, but have worked with KNX and am proficient in python) .. my knx-device (ABB Dali Gateway) does not support tune-able white directly, so i can't just send a brightness and color-temperature value. Do you have any suggestions on how to start ? do i need to write my own component (maybe even with a modified xknx light device) or is there a more straight forward solution?

Hello,
Changed my WiFi at home to put all IOT devices on a separate network.
When i did this, my xiaomi devices show up, but wont update.
Any one got any advice?

☝️ I'm having trouble removing a failed z-wave node. I returned this device because it kept going unavailable. manually marked it as failed to remove it but it won't remove. any suggestions on an way to force remove it?

Does anyone know if the first alert Z-Wave smoke detectors work well with Home Assistant?

glossy prism Feb 8, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

The ZCOMBO? Yeah, I'm using it

austere herald Feb 8, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

@glossy prism does it integrate with like the test button? So I could push the test button for testing?

glossy prism Feb 8, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

What do you mean?

austere herald Feb 8, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

Like could I set up an automation so that when you push the button something happens?

#

Probably not, but is it possible to trigger the alarm with home assistant?

glossy prism Feb 8, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

Yeah it reports the test state. Not in plaintext though, it reports numbers for "alarm level" and "alarm type." There's a post about it on the forum with a template sensor to convert those values to a word (smoke, CO, test)

#

You can't trigger the alarm

#

Do note you need a Z-wave stick to use it

austere herald Feb 8, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

Sure, thanks for the info

#

That's a shame you can't trigger it, it'd be nice to network them

My Xiaomi Gateway won't get detected in my HA, I checked the password multiple times, restarted HA multiple times, it keeps telling me "No gateway discovered"

stray nimbus Feb 8, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

are they reachable from each other on the lan?

waxen zenith Feb 8, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

Yes, can reach them

#

Fully updated, good network connection

#

I requested a new password, trying again

stray nimbus Feb 8, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

in you config do you use ip or mac to set it up?

waxen zenith Feb 8, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

only password, currently

#

Page says it just needs the password, I can try with the ip as well, only have 1 gateway

stray nimbus Feb 8, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

yes it should work without, but it wont hurt to try with

waxen zenith Feb 8, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

I it still doesnt work after this restart, I'll add the IP, thanks
