hi, I have a roborock S50 that I installed Valetudo on, should i use the MQTT Vacuum integration or should i use the xiaomi_miio vacuum?

native wigeon Mar 20, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

So a while ago, I had HA setup on a Pi, attached to this was a couple of 'mysensors' DHT sensors. These sensors were RF24 which connected to a wifi gateway. I added the gateway to HA with the following in configuration.yaml

mysensors:
gateways:
- device: '192.168.54.25'

Both DHT sensors read the humidity and temperature very well. This project then went on hold, since the batteries did not power the sensors for very long. I have now resurrected the project, the sensors and gateway have not changed, but HA is now a newer version. The problem I'm having is HA is not reading the temperature of the sensors, only the humidity is being returned.

Hi guys,

The response time for the "Tuya"components (like SESOO Touch Wi-Fi Switch) in HA is quiet long (5-10 seconds),
Compere to when using Tuya APP which its working great, immediately.

I'm using Home Assistant (Hassio)
Ubuntu 18.04.3 on NUC i5 intel wired through LAN connection.

There is something can I check or do to reduce it ?
There is any profiling tool/check that I can try ?

cedar reef Mar 20, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

Not the answer you want, I'm sure but I would flash it with tasmota, my Tuya plugs with Tasmota firmware respond faster than I can click the toggle in HA.

livid otter Mar 20, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

Could you explain... using Tuya APP working immediately, so how the flash with tasmota , can help for using HA ?

storm dawn Mar 21, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

does anyone have a roborock s50 setup, i'm having trouble getting the mqtt configured

peak talon Mar 21, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

@livid otter You can either flash to Tasmota or esphome. See this. https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert Any questions for both of them you need to go to their respective discord. Both Tasmota and ESPhome are well integrated in HA

livid otter Mar 21, 2020, 8:24 AM

#

@peak talon Thanks,
But why it working great with the Tuya app and in other hand with latency on HA ?

peak talon Mar 21, 2020, 8:27 AM

#

well, with Tuya app you are directly connecting to the Tuya servers, with HA there is a bit of re-routing and authentication I guess. When you convert using Tuya-convert, you are controlling locally without internet and letting go of the tuya servers

#

if you are happy to send the data to Tuya servers, then don't bother converting through tuya-convert

livid otter Mar 21, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

@peak talon Thanks for clarification.
My only concern, is that during the flash, I get stuck.

peak talon Mar 21, 2020, 8:39 AM

#

in my experience, it either gets flashed or it does not. It also takes a backup of the original firmware. I must have flashed about 20 for me and some innumerable for my friends, not even once I had a unsable plug. Yes, some times it did not flash and I had to repeat the process that's it

livid otter Mar 21, 2020, 8:45 AM

#

o.k.
No soldering needed, right?
Is there a need for disconnection from the power supply (out of box)?

peak talon Mar 21, 2020, 8:49 AM

#

okay this will be my last message before I would ask you to go to ESPhome discord. Soldering is Not needed, but if the device is not listed in the Tuya-convert support list, you may not be able to flash. However, in my experience, anything that required smartlife of similar app, is flashable

livid otter Mar 21, 2020, 8:52 AM

#

Thanks, I will move to ESPhome discord and try to find a video tutorial... as well.

hello

#

I have Philips wifi bulb added as xiaomi_miio

#

I'd like to add second light now

#

the problem is that entity ID which I'm using doesn't look "unique" - it's light.xiaomi_philips_smart_led_ball

is it possible to somehow "split" bulbs to have access to each of them?

winged knoll Mar 21, 2020, 9:12 PM

Each device will have it's own unique entity_id

I would say zwave or zwave via mqtt is direct. Also local without relying on internet or wifi

For those with Logitech Harmony hubs......I'm noticing when I push an activity on my remote I can wait up to 10 seconds for the hub to react to anything. One it does and im controlling something like my shield its fine (bluetooth) but anything hub related is super slow. I know there is a bit of a delay but this is way out of the ordinary. Any ideas why? Maybe an api issue on their end?

Take a look at automations. Trigger: movement (or whatever) on device sensor. Action: service: toggle light on: specific light

ashen apex Mar 23, 2020, 6:52 AM

I take it you already have the Wyze sensors integrated into HA @brazen viper? You can't use Wyze sensors when using them through the Wyze camera/app. They need to be directly in HA.

The UI for integrations mostly only shows integrations set up in the UI

bright jacinthBOT Mar 23, 2020, 7:52 PM

The Devices and Entities views under Configuration don't show every entity in your system. If you want to see everything, look under Developer Tools then States.

I guess I'm more concerned about how to get things into devices to I can perform actions on them in automations but they don't show up there either

#

device actions are just a new way of doing the things you've always been able to do

obsidian canopy Mar 23, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

looks like this happens to all of the integrations I add in configuration.yaml, they all show up in entities and I can turn things on and off but the entities don't get organized into a device like the integrations that are added through the UI. Do I need to manually create a device parent and put the entities into it?

Sorry @brazen viper, I have basically zero experience with MQTT. I take it your lights are using MQTT?

#

@ashen apex I have tasmota flashed on some Feit lights. Because they have a both a RGB channel and a White channel I have set them up so that each is controllable seperately on the Tasmota UI. Apparently one of the channels is treated as a switch and the other as a light bulb. I got the Wyze swich working to turn on and off the light when opened and closed, but getting the light to respond is proving difficult. Stay tuned. By the way the new Feit BR30 bulb on Blackaders website was one I contributed. Hope its useful to everyone

ashen apex Mar 23, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

Cool, good luck. If you're not having much fun with Tasmota/MQTT, you could investigate ESPHome too. I opted for ESPHome after not grokking the complexities of MQTT quickly enough.

#

Also means you don't need an MQTT broker.

@zealous skiff Can you walk through the steps you've taken? I've got a bunch of these working without issues. The only 'problem' I've encountered is that this switch can't be just on/off - it always fades on/off. Fine for most lights, but I've apparently got a couple of LED bulbs that are not dimmable so they flicker on occasion. The method I used was to run tuya-convert to get the base tasmota firmware on, then I've had to upgrade to tasmota minimal, then finally to the standard image, then finally apply the template and the TuyaMCU commands noted in the link you included.

The problem is that it keeps "initializing" in safari, even when using the home assistant app (older) version. It works fine on my newer ios devices and pc. Is there any chance on controlling my home assistant with my ipad mini 1st gen?

Has anybody integrated a quiet cool attic fan that has a low and high speed switch and if you did what did you use. I was thinking about using a Shelly to since it has two switches

@silk lily 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 software are you running?
What's your operating system?
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 provide sample code, ideally with line errors where the error occurs?

I want to integrate thèse sockets

https://www.amazon.fr/Intelligente-ANOOPSYCHE-Compactible-Télécommande-Synchronisation/dp/B079KZN6NM

I wanted to integrate these home assistant sockets but the devices are not compatible. is there a way to integrate them in your opinion? I thought that the plug was managed by smart life but not the application that manages the devices is "ahome smart". they are integrated into Google home thanks

@tacit plinth @ashen apex I would be super careful enabling those settings. Allot of of wifi devices still do not play well when you enable them. (google cast devices, robot vacuums) Also @tacit plinth are all the APs wired? Even though 90% of your devices are connected to the one AP whats the "Wifi experience" with most of the devices?

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

root cause was TCL TV 12' away from a AC Lite had roamed to Dream Machine that is 30' and three walls away and couldn't stream a 1080P stream from Plex

#

4 APs, Dream Machine, two AC lites (hardwired via MOCA) and a wireless mesh AP

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

weird

#

so issue resolved though?

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

new install, been up just about a week

#

issue has happened twice

#

if I "reconnect" client, it picks the right AP

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

Im 99% sure you can force a device to stay connected to a particular AP. That may be what you end up having to do

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

I'm not ruling out some weird network/MOCA event that blips the AC lites and everything jumps to the Dream Machine

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

dafuq is MOCA

#

thats a drink m8

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

Last night I tried tuning cell sizes via RSSI and what not, didn't have much luck

#

MOCA is Ethernet over coaxial RG6

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

ahh cool

#

new about over Powerline

#

knew*

#

whats the Tv's "wifi experience" when connected to the dream machine

#

vs the AP rigth next to it

#

and @tacit plinth what it might be... Your AP closest to the TV might be switching to a different wifi band that the RX and TX in the Tv doesnt have..

#

allot of time the wifi chips in tvs are weaker than puppy piss

#

think there is a beta setting for the APs to scan for interference every now and then and it could be messing it up

#

"maybe"

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

Remember where that is?

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 3:43 AM

let me look

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 3:45 AM

I do have that on, but at 3AM

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 3:45 AM

#

hmm

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 3:45 AM

#

Turning it off just to be safe

#

Don't need it with just four APs

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 3:45 AM

#

something to do with roaming... like i said i would proably look into forcing the Tv to stay on that particula AP

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 3:45 AM

#

Yeah, can you pin it somwhere?

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 3:46 AM

#

ive never done it

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 3:46 AM

#

What I settled on last night, I reduced the 2.4 transmit power from auto/high to medium

#

and I disabled 0-11 and all CCK/802.11b

#

and turned off auto optimize

#

All the devices on that side of the house have been stable on that AP since then -- ~ 23hrs now

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 3:48 AM

#

have you tried changing the order in which you boot up the APs

#

initially

#

again tvs typically have crappy chips and I think older chips dont work well with roaming....they just connect and stay connected to the first AP they see

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 3:50 AM

#

That could be it too

#

I have the Unifi presence detection on in HA and I went through the state database and I have seen the TV (device_tracker.family_room_tv) flipping between APs quite a bit since the system was installed

#

but again, in this case last night --- I have 46 normal clients -- all but 4 of them were on the Dream Machine

#

no alarms were on either

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

@tacit plinth on that note ive been wondering how to "NOT" track everything on the Unifi presence detection lol

#

i really only want a handful of devices tracked

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

I'm pushing 1K entities right now, so what's another 50, lol

#

what you running HA on?

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

I have no idea where they all come from -- zigbee, mqtt, zha..some just add a lot

#

It's a NUC i7-BEH

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

ahh yeah

#

I run mine on a pie 4 4g

#

have 100+ zibgbee devices

#

and as of lately get a random lag spike

#

still havnt narrowed it down but dont think its a hardware bottleneck issue

#

run deconz... 99% of the time when i walk into a room the lights turn on instantly... then maybe once a day ill walk in and it takes 5secs to turn on

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 4:01 AM

#

yeah, that is odd -- could be zigbee retries potentially -- or a hardware processing issue

#

tough to track that down if it doesn't happen very often

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 4:02 AM

#

yeah i think tink was telling me to trouble shoot with the history or logbook

#

but it takes like 5min to open those tabs lol so i havnt looked into it

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 4:03 AM

#

I guess I would look for deconz APSDATA type errors first at that timestamp

#

but yes, if the time delta between motion event and automation/light state change is large....

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 4:05 AM

#

dont suppose your running homekit on ios are you?

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 4:05 AM

Yes

Well, homekit in HA and using several Apple devices to acces sit

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

wonder why you gave yours a IP?

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

Think I had that in there because I was running homebridge before and had it on a diff port

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

my HA is of course in a docker..wonder if it cant "get out"

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

mine too -- but have it in host networking mode, right?

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

uhh

#

not really sure what that is lol

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

it's the docker equivalent of bridged networking I think

#

https://hastebin.com/riyikacexa.rb

#

so it's layer two adjacent, things can broadcast to the LAN, mdns/ssdp all works

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

weird... i never had to do ant of that the first time

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

it's not technically a requirement, but it makes everything a lot easier -- especially if you want HA discovery and stuff to work

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

so your IP in the Homekit config

#

thats your HA IP

#

what about the port?

#

gonna try that for giggles i guess

#

and the i never have understood the auto start thing. By default it is true correct? why would you want it something diferent

tacit plinth Mar 25, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

back in the old days (pre .105?) if homekit started before your entities were ready (looking at you z-wave) they would never be added

#

not sure about the port, or if that is even the default

#

I think I was bouncing around with some stuff on homebridge for awhile

true needle Mar 25, 2020, 4:25 AM

Is there a good rule of thumb for the transition: function of light.turn_on? I'd like to slowly fade the lights from 0 -> 100 over 30 minutes, but any time i feed that large a value, it just goes to 100% immediately

winged knoll Mar 25, 2020, 12:36 PM

#

It depends on the integration and device, so there's no "one size fits all"

faint abyss Mar 25, 2020, 12:38 PM

#

Is there a reference (or place to poke into the code) that would show what to expect? It's terribly inconsistent between ZHA (light just goes full brightness, transition never works) vs Z-Wave (trying to figure the max before it craters with trial and error, but at least 900s works)

glossy prism Mar 25, 2020, 12:40 PM

#

AFAIK it's very hardware dependent so i don't think so

faint abyss Mar 25, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

good to know. I'll just keep tinkering to see what hardware gives the least issue and try to deploy only that in the future (new house is almost done... after years of work, trying to finalize all the tinkering i've been doing on and off in HA since .25 days)

Apologies if this isn't the right channel, can anyone recommend a fully wireless video doorbell that doesn't rely on cloud services? Meaning no existing wiring, including for a traditional doorbell, is required.

faint abyss Mar 25, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

no option for power?

#

Video means WiFi, and WiFi is a power hog.

primal walrus Mar 25, 2020, 6:52 PM

I realize that, I know some products exist, like one Ring doorbell with integrated solar. I'd just like to avoid cloud services if possible.

faint abyss Mar 25, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

There are some DIY things you could probably make, depending on needs, but always on live video is going to need power (or a large solar panel and battery bank)

primal walrus Mar 25, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

Or a battery that gets recharged every 1-X days, which I'm willing to deal with for my current application.

I've yet to embark on my HA adventure as I'm doing some preliminary research but what sort of hub would/should I get in order to handle all of my zigbee/zwave devices? Should it be something like SmartThings or is there a cheaper option that will allow the connections and let HA do the automations?

winged knoll Mar 25, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

Not SmartThings 😉

#

Really you want a #zigbee-archived and #zwave-archived USB controller

drifting grove Mar 25, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

Hah, fair enough, what would you recommend?

winged knoll Mar 25, 2020, 8:09 PM

For Zigbee, see the #zigbee-archived channel.
For Z-Wave, see the #zwave-archived channel but almost any Z-Wave Plus stick will do

Okay, I'll have a look. Thanks for the pointers.

nortek husbzb-1 is popular and does both, however it won't work with Zigbee2MQTT

While we're on the topic. I currently only own a couple zigbee devices and everything else is WiFi. For a newcomer like myself, which would you recommend going forward with? I understand the bandwidth and power consumption differences but I'm curious which one appears to be more future-proofed from a veteran.

winged knoll Mar 25, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

Zigbee IMO

faint abyss Mar 25, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

Zigbee, 100%

#

Just make sure you run your wifi and Zigbee on different channels

winged knoll Mar 25, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

See the pinned messages in #zigbee-archived for the details if you're unsure

graceful adder Mar 25, 2020, 8:21 PM

Just make sure you run your wifi and Zigbee on different channels

how would one handle this in a crowded urban area? run a scanner and try to pick two low noise channels?

winged knoll Mar 25, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

Yup

drifting grove Mar 25, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

I read your pinned message in #zigbee-archived on zha, deconz, and zigbee2MQTT but I'm still a little fuzzy. These are "brokers" that handle the transactions between the controller and the device?

Hass.io was an install method 😉

IMO though, #zigbee-archived

dusk kettle Mar 26, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

ok, well. I see a bunch of 433Mhz devices. Not sure about them

#

zigbee devices are quite expensive

glossy prism Mar 26, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

if you think zigbee is expensive, you're gonna hate z-wave

winged knoll Mar 26, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

$6 for a door/window sensor, I'd say that's cheap

#

And yeah, $40 or so for a single Z-Wave sensor

#

433MHz is dirt cheap for a reason 😉

dusk kettle Mar 26, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

I'm new to this. Just started last week 🙂 Bear with me.

#

433MHz is not as good?

winged knoll Mar 26, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

It is, generally speaking, "send and pray"

#

With Zigbee and Z-Wave you have a mesh and devices communicate both ways

cerulean vine Mar 26, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

But Also 433 MHz has a lot more range than Zigbee

winged knoll Mar 26, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

The mesh however offsets that (or it should, if you've got one...)

glossy prism Mar 26, 2020, 2:24 PM

and zigbee not being "assumed state" is a huge benefit

quick question. i just set up some innovelli z wave lights. Im trying to figure out a way to set brigthness depending on time. i.e. in the evening, if i physically touch the switch, it will come on at 20% vs 90% in the day

@quiet parrot can you share a non-whoops version of your config

#

not one that needs an explanation, but one that definitively shows what it is

thick rampart Mar 27, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

@queen vessel I see that you have been updating the Nuheat thermostat integration. Can this perhaps include "isHeating" and "online" attributes from Nuheat's /api/v1/Thermostat? Apologies if they're included. I looked through https://github.com/home-assistant/core/commit/b09a9fc81a3ba9c1f2204899a38dc9c7dfb39935 and didn't see them other than in tests that comments indicated were rolled back. Yes, I'm confused about the dev process here and where to see the pending code-base. I'm happy to provide feedback on the release.

queen vessel Mar 27, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

@thick rampart if you checkout the dev branch and install it as a custom_component/nuheat you should be able to test it out on 0.107 and later

thick rampart Mar 27, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

Not quite yet on 0.107, heard there may be some zwave issues there and zwave is my major use. Are the isHeating and" online" attributes in the new integration?

queen vessel Mar 27, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

Its been a while

#

I'll look

#

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/nuheat/climate.py#L128

#

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/nuheat/climate.py#L105

#

yes

#

actually it looks like it should work with even older

#

If you want to try it

#

cd <your home assistant config dir>

#

mkdir custom_components

#

cd custom_components

#

git clone https://github.com/bdraco/nuheat.git

#

and restart

thick rampart Mar 27, 2020, 12:54 AM

@queen vessel Cool! I had muddled through and finally got the production version working in 0.106 by just setting 'temperature' for hold and the resume.program service to restore the schedule. I'm looking forward to more. The other services didn't seem really to work. I'll pull the new code in the next 24 hours. Family wants dinner now.

queen vessel Mar 27, 2020, 12:55 AM

Services didn't work for me either. All seems happy now though with the latest changes. Happy to have someone else test it before 0.108 ships so I can address any issues

Random networking question: I set up AdGuard Home on my NAS a few days ago and set my LAN DHCP DNS to resolve to the internal IP for AdGuard which is working fine, but since then Ubiquiti USG capacity has been at 100% without dropping (even when there's basically no requests in the middle of the night). Is that normal? And should I be using that IP just for the LAN? Or should it be used at the WAN level?

Hello, I have a Roku Smart TV, I have been able to get it into Home Assistant as a switch with the following snippet I found on the forums:

switch:
  - platform: command_line
    switches:
      tv_living_room:
        command_on: 'curl -X POST http://192.168.1.10:8060/keypress/PowerOn'
        command_off: 'curl -X POST http://192.168.1.10:8060/keypress/PowerOff'
        command_state: 'curl -s GET http://192.168.1.10:8060/query/device-info | grep power-mode | sed -e "s:<power-mode>DisplayOff</power-mode>:OFF:" -e "s:<power-mode>PowerOn</power-mode>:ON:"'
        value_template: '{{ value == "ON" }}'
        friendly_name: Living Room TV

However, in the UI I get This entity does not have a unique ID, therefore it's settings can not be managed from the UI.. How do i add that unique id?

#

And what is the difference between an entity and a device? :/

glossy prism Mar 27, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

There's a Roku integration...does that not work with your TV?

silk oriole Mar 27, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

I read in the docus autodiscovery should just find any compatible Roku devices but I was unable to get that working

#

Home Assistant did auto discover all of my google home minis and chromcasts, so autodiscovery is working on my network

glossy prism Mar 27, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

But to answer your questions you generally can't add a unique ID, it's usually up to the integration to support it

#

Try manually adding your TV in configuration.yaml

silk oriole Mar 27, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

Can you link me an example of how to do that?

bright jacinthBOT Mar 27, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/roku/

silk oriole Mar 27, 2020, 5:53 PM

All I found was adding it as a switch

#

ah, thanks

#

That just got me a The following integrations and platforms could not be set up: roku on restart

glossy prism Mar 27, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

Check the log

#

Did you run a config check before restarting?

bright jacinthBOT Mar 27, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

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

silk oriole Mar 27, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

silk oriole Mar 27, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

Probably why it was not autodiscovered

#

sorry

#

ah, turns out you need to address the roku by IP, even if the hostname resolves to the right ip

#

@glossy prism I see it as an entity, but not a device, what's the difference?

glossy prism Mar 27, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

Yup, the docs do say IP address

#

Not all integrations support the Devices page

#

Devices add the ability to make "device automations" which try to make creating certain automations easier. Devices are I believe physical entities (button, TV, etc.) whereas an entity can be a logical device (template sensor, input_boolean, etc.) or a physical device

#

All devices are entities, but not all entities are necessarily devices. And again, not all integrations support the Devices page so you might have some physical entities that aren't Devices.

ah, gotcha. Thank you for the info!

@queen vessel I ran 14 tests on the new nuheat code. Two failed, one I think is not a valid use case, the other is a problem. Here are the tests:

#

https://pastebin.com/Nrguh06X

The one that failed is 13

#

13: Change Temperature of Temporary Hold using set_temperature service (FAILS)

#

The probable bad use case is:

3: Restore 'auto' hvac_mode from preset_mode of 'Permanent Hold' - option 1 using set_temperature service (FAILS)

I'll open an issue. I'm also poking at the code a bit. Maybe I can learn some python and fix it. I haven't done purposeful QA or written code in a while. Gives me something to do while sheltered-in-place.

Hi Guys, noob day one users, I done all the adding of hacs to get the phillips hue remote showing in entity, how do i make this a ''device'' so i can use it in triggers?

glossy prism Mar 28, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

It doesn't need to be a device to be used in triggers, you can trigger on state changes

#

See developer tools > states

tidal grotto Mar 28, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

@glossy prism Thanks :D, what is entered for the ''from'' 'to'' ''for'' section

#

1_click_up

glossy prism Mar 28, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/automation/trigger/

tidal grotto Mar 28, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

so I assume if you wanted the trigger for two buttons you would put something diffrent in two and from, but just one button you put one? like 1_click_up and 1_click_up in the from and to

#

in qoutes as it might messup the docs says, sorry for noob questions

glossy prism Mar 28, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

From and to are exactly like they sound. The state has to go specifically from one state to another to trigger

tidal grotto Mar 28, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

what if you want it to trigger regardless of the last state/

glossy prism Mar 28, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

Just fill in to:

tidal grotto Mar 28, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

I see, and what is for button mean? sorry for questions I know its in the doc but still learning to understand guides

#

''for''

glossy prism Mar 28, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

It has to match the to state for a specific period of time before it will trigger

tidal grotto Mar 28, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

sorry I probs do better with an example, lets say I want it when I press the on button in this case ''1_click_up '' it triggers, what would I put in the ''for'' section

glossy prism Mar 28, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

for is optional

#

These questions should go to #automations-archived btw

coral hound Mar 28, 2020, 5:08 PM

Ladies and gentlemen. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direct. I have a electrical outlet that is giving me a problem. Every so often devices connected to it power cycle. I am planning on ordering a wifi outlet device that can monitor both voltage and amperes which I will store the values in influx and visualize with grafana.

#

My question is as follows, is there a way with either tasmota or ESPHome to be notified when a device is power cycled?

#

@sleek vortex What kind of switches are you using, what firmware and version are you using? Does it happen with all of your switches? Do the switches work and do you see that status update in you Home Assistant dashboard/screen?

#

@lilac spindle What kind of help are you looking for?

@coral hound I am using Klikaanklikuit switches. They used to work fine in version 105 under docker. After updating to 107 I can't get them to work anymore. Even downgrading my docker container to homeassistant/home-assistant:0.105.6 doesn't fix it for me.

#

It happens with everything hooked up to the RFXtrx tranceiver.

lilac spindle Mar 28, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

Shouldn't there be some type of identifier for each button on the minimote? How do the automations understand which button was pressed?

winged knoll Mar 28, 2020, 6:03 PM

By the #zwave-archived event

lilac spindle Mar 28, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

I didn't say publish I said Listen
@winged knoll I am running Listen but at the same time, If I push the button on the remote nothing shows up under LISTENING. When I PUBLISH, the LISTENING sees the request and runs the automation fine. This tells me the break in communications is between the remote and HA. Zwave sees the device but is there something more to the Zwave configuration or device configuration that may be missing?

winged knoll Mar 28, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

Then... it sounds like the device may not be sending anything 🤷

#

#zwave-archived would be a good place to check that there's not settings you're overlooking on the device

lilac spindle Mar 28, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

I can set modes for the buttons (1-4) for Add, Scene, Remove Association, Learn and Default. I have each button set to Scene. The buttons say 241: Button #1 Programmable? I find it interesting why it calls them "241, 242,243 and 244". Do those numbers need to be called out somewhere?

#

This is the verbage that goes with it Default Mode 0 The button on the Minimote uses the factory default functions for operation instead of any special functionality related to the below modes. Scene Mode 1 The button on the Minimote executes a scene from data received for Parameters Numbers 0-239 related to the button being pressed. Add Mode 2 The button on the Minimote is able to include/add devices into the Z-Wave network. Remove Mode 3 The button on the Minimote is able to remove devices from the Z-Wave network. Association Mode 4 The button on the Minimote is able to associate one device to another. Learn Mode 5 The button on the Minimote is able to allow the Minimote to be included into other Z-Wave networks and to learn Z-Wave network information.

winged knoll Mar 28, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

I'd ask in #zwave-archived

@sleek vortex Sorry to hear that. I was going to suggest that you try installing a "testing" environment in a separate folder to see if that would solve the issue. I have had problems with my the configuration after an update.

You could potentially use a USB over IP solution to pass through a device, or possibly put a usb dongle on the synology and set up pass through

@shadow condor Is your Home Assistant running in Synology NAS?
@round horizon yes NAS, and the antenna is a RPI 3.

an idea ???

winged knoll Mar 29, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

You can't do that easily. What you might be able to do is run whatever it is you need on the other system

#

Or, run HA there and use https://github.com/lukas-hetzenecker/home-assistant-remote to sync the two

Strange - My TP Link devices just went offline, and I can't seem to remove the TP Link integration and rediscover the devices. This has worked in the past. I have now tried to upgrade to the latest HA version as of this minute and the integration shows empty. I removed tplink: from config, and still tplink comes back on reboots, empty of devices.

has anyone successfully flashed a sonoff touch w/ 3.3.0 fw?

tame ivy Mar 30, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

@livid citrus The sonoffs are flashed using serial; on board FW from itead don’t really matter much.

How would I link a Pi Zero to HA, so it shows as an entry I can send media to? I want to conect speakers to my Zero, and use that similarly to Alexa or a Chromecast.

livid citrus Mar 30, 2020, 4:23 AM

#

@tame ivy that’s my problem. Everything should be fine but it’s like it’s got weird settings for transfer. I thought there might be a difference since it’s esp8285 but idk

tame ivy Mar 30, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

@livid citrus details please. Device? What FW are you flashing on it? Serial or ITead OTA?

livid citrus Mar 30, 2020, 5:14 AM

@tame ivy so it has eWeLink 3.3.0 currently. Trying to flash tasmoda 8.2. I’ve been trying serial. I attempted Sonota but no luck. Not sure what itead ota is

tardy fog Mar 30, 2020, 8:29 AM

#

Hi everyone! Newbie here.

#

I am not sure to be honest where to address my issue - quite complex, maybe you will point me in a correct direction.
So this is the situation
I installed hass.io on VirtualBox and connected a couple of devices - everything works quite good, but all of them are integreated through second service - not directly.
Now, I have a Mija temperature sensor (BLE).
I bought bluetooth BLE dongle from China, and installed it. Now I want to read data from mija sensor, but looks like HassIo does not see it. I believe the problem is that VirtualBox is not sharing it properly, but I am lost in this.

#

This all is on a windows 10 machine

vestal hazel Mar 30, 2020, 2:19 PM

Dear All, could you please explain how does the device synchronization work for MQTT devices ? I mean for example i have device with relays, after relay-device restart(and powered off) the all relays will have a new default state(which is off), and then device will send the status message to HA and state in HA will be changed to the real one, but should not device request the latest status from the host in order to set it accordingly?

Hey guys, I'm looking for recommendation on device combinations to accomplish what I thought was pretty simple but doesn't seem to be... or I've simply been unlucky. I have LED strips controlled by a MagicLight compatible controller. All I want is a simple wireless button to turn the strip ON/OFF and, if possible, adjust brightness. I bought an Ikea hub and wireless dimmer and everything is integrated in Hass.io, including the LED strip controller. However, it appears as if Hass can only retrieve its battery status but not perform action on button press. I've read that a Hue Smart Button might work, but couldn't get solid confirmation. I'm also wondering if I could link that button to my Ikea Hub or I'd be forced to buy a Hue Hub. Aqara also seem like a possible solution but essential impossible to get here in Canada. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

glossy prism Mar 30, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

generally an entity for the button press itself isn't created, so you usually have to listen for button press events for buttons (or use a "device automation")

#

also a good choice if you're looking to buy some zigbee stuff is to get a USB zigbee stick to act as the controller

toxic dust Mar 30, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

Ok so you're saying that it is technically feasible to use what I already have?

glossy prism Mar 30, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

i'm not sure if it works with the Tradfri integration (which i'm guessing you're using) but i know it does if you have a zigbee stick

toxic dust Mar 30, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

Ok, I did try a deconz a couple of months back but had several issues with it.. probably from a lack of proper knowledge but I decided to return it.

glossy prism Mar 30, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

FWIW, i've had good luck with ZHA

#

i'm using the HUSBZB-1 zigbee/z-wave combo stick (US only)

toxic dust Mar 30, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

Ok good to know. There's one available on Amazon Canada for 60$... I think I'll give it a try

Thanks for your help, really appreciated

Good Morning, As Wink screws up more and more I'm trying to decide if I'm going with Hubitat, OpenHab or HA. As such what device that supports zigbee and zwave is supported/works best for HA?

zigbee AND zwave? https://zigbee.blakadder.com/coordinator_Nortek_HUSBZB-1.html

Does the facebook portal work with HA?

winged knoll Mar 30, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

@split pumice There's three #zigbee-archived integrations here, each with slightly different device support and features - so you can pick which you want based on your needs

#

Each has different Zigbee board support, with zha supporting the widest range of boards currently

split pumice Mar 30, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

ok

winged knoll Mar 30, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

The #zigbee-archived channel can explain more, but the TL/DR is - yes, there's support for pretty much any Zigbee device on the planet

#

#zwave-archived is currently undergoing a transition from OpenZWave 1.4 to 1.6, but from an end user perspective it just means "is currently ok and is getting better"

Hi all... i'm having difficultly finding out if one can add entities without reloading? most things now you seem to be able to trigger a reload in "server controls", but I can't see any for things like sensors, input_boolean, etc, that typically i've added into configuration and had to restart the server... is there a way to do it "live" yet?

winged knoll Mar 31, 2020, 6:15 AM

Depends @still pier - some things have reload services that aren't mentioned in the control panel, input_x etc, but not sensors, switches, lights

winged knoll Mar 31, 2020, 10:33 AM

#

If it can be flashed with Tasmota yes. Otherwise depends on whether it has an API

wind acorn Mar 31, 2020, 10:39 AM

#

looks like its work with tuya - https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tuya/

winged knoll Mar 31, 2020, 10:40 AM

#

Then it'll work, either with the Tuya cloud API, or potentially flashed for purely local control

wind acorn Mar 31, 2020, 10:40 AM

#

about tuya - how exactly does it work? the integration with tuya need internet connection all time, or only from start and then all devices that were added work locally?

Currently SSHd into the Pi,will try going through the guide you linked

#

It says UPS comms lost...

#

Weird

winged knoll Mar 31, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

Could be cable fault

#

Could be hardware fault

#

Do other USB device work?

dark obsidian Mar 31, 2020, 3:52 PM

#

Tested the cable (shorted out RX TX), it works. Using an USB wifi adapter, so USB works

#

And the UPS works too (on powerup I get "?")

dark obsidian Mar 31, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

I set it up according to the apcupsd docs (the guide you linked didnt mention serial comms), and it looses the connection to the UPS

Hi all, anyone used tasmotizer? Ideally on a h801? I have flashed it and put config of WiFi into it (I think) but it’s not showing up on my network so I’m doing something wrong 😬 thanks

zealous dune Mar 31, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

h801 has a specific serial port quirk... read teh instructions on templates.blakadder.com

sharp fjord Mar 31, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

Will have a look, but know about the tx to tx/ rx to rx... thanks

#

Have read all of that, and yes details the tx and rx thing and having to put the jumper on, most of it refers to the old way of flashing before tasmotizer, and about the module 20, I think but maybe wrong that tasmotizer does all this for you...?

zealous dune Mar 31, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

have you changed module in tasmotizer?

sharp fjord Mar 31, 2020, 6:29 PM

@coral hound

Yeah that's what I did. And I did some further inspection with some other libraries. But they can't communicate with my rfxtrx either. So that's how I came to the conclusion that my device must be dead. I took the tranceiver to my inlaws who have a windows machine to test the "manager" program they make available on their website. But even their own software doesn't seem to help. So that's how I came to the conclusion that the tranceiver must be dead. Happens...

@winged knoll Thanks I did that the day before, but the device (purifier 3H) is not reachable. Got the token and the ip-adress of the device

winged knoll Apr 1, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

Not sure how/why you're getting device tracker errors then 🤷

#

Hopefully somebody who uses the air purifier can help you then

drifting grove Apr 1, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

Just a question because I am completely new to home assistant

winged knoll Apr 1, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

It'll help if you share the relevant section(s) of your config

drifting grove Apr 1, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

https://github.com/rytilahti/python-miio do I have to merge something, because there it says the purifier 3H is working

winged knoll Apr 1, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

Hopefully you're using secrets (https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/secrets/)

#

Nope, no merge, just follow exactly what the docs show

drifting grove Apr 1, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

secrects? No, never heard of that before

winged knoll Apr 1, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

Nobody ever reads the docs any more 😄

bright jacinthBOT Apr 1, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

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

drifting grove Apr 1, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

The problem is, the setp-by-step instructions for newbies like me, won't tell you that

winged knoll Apr 1, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

Well, there's an assumption you read the docs, not just the Getting Started guide 😉

drifting grove Apr 1, 2020, 1:50 PM

I have nothing to hide, how can I send you my configurations.yaml

@frozen girder Discord isn't like IRC, you don't have to tag people on every response. Keep in mind that every time you tag somebody, they get a notification ping. That can very quickly become annoying and people may block you.

Took it from there...https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/xiaomi_miio/

winged knoll Apr 1, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

The xiaomi_miio device tracker platform is observing your Xiaomi Mi WiFi Repeater 2 and reporting all associated WiFi clients.

#

Is this a WiFi repeater?

no

Stop reading GitHub 😉

Use the integrations list and the search box there

Also, take the time to read the page and make sure things match what you're doing

If they don't, you're likely on the wrong page

drifting grove Apr 1, 2020, 1:57 PM

okay, so right now, I just have to chance the "device" into "fan"?

winged knoll Apr 1, 2020, 1:57 PM

see the link I posted

drifting grove Apr 1, 2020, 1:58 PM

I checked the first, the purifier 3H is not mentioned

winged knoll Apr 1, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

Try it, see 🤷

drifting grove Apr 1, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

and that confuses me, as pyhton_miio says it is supported

#

Okay still the same error as yesterday, the device is still not reachable

winged knoll Apr 1, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

What's the full error?

drifting grove Apr 1, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

Unable to discover a device at adress 192.xxxxxxx

checked my router and the given ip-adress is correct

any further ideas?

thanks for that . it seems thats not supported. if I want dark sky weather as a temp sensor in homekit, is that possible thru HA?

winged knoll Apr 1, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

Looks to be

slate zealot Apr 1, 2020, 3:04 PM

ok so I added weather.dark_sky under include_entities, what should I put in under its entity_config?

glossy prism Apr 1, 2020, 3:08 PM

@glossy prism Ik . Just using it as a starting point atm

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

hang on yes got a tasmota_a93232-4658

#

wifi ac point just appeared

#

trying to connect to it...

#

im powered still from the ftdi flasher...

#

gpio open (not grounded)

zealous dune Apr 1, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

oooh... not 100% that itll work

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

not connecting.... taking a while...

#

stoped trying to connect to the tasmota wifi...

#

any suggestions?

#

i sent config file for t1 3ch,

zealous dune Apr 1, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

did you send it after power cycling the device?

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

Yes

#

i can try the whole process again, please tell me if this is correct...

#

short gpio to grd

zealous dune Apr 1, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

your usb-to-serial might be causing issues if there's not enough power

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

flash with tasmota.bin

#

remove pwr, disconnect gpio from gnd

#

power on

#

send config

#

power off and back on

zealous dune Apr 1, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

if you follow the tasmota.com described procedure there shouldn't be any issues

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

thats what i have done, but not seeing on wifi network and wifi light on sonoff just flashes

#

trying to flash again

zealous dune Apr 1, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

there are instructions on how to configure using other means

#

and nothing there mentions lights flashing in any particular manner

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

i know, looked at a video by drzzz who shows a t1 and uses putty and termite, but couldnt get any comunication working...

zealous dune Apr 1, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

then you're doing something wrong

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

i know but cant work out what 😬

#

so, re-flashed, disconnected gpio from gnd, powered off and on, got a wifi network from it.... tasmota_a93232-4658

#

so can assume flash worked?

#

ok so talk to it from putty

zealous dune Apr 1, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

yes it worked

#

the flash that is, device might not work properly depending on power source or other stuff

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

so do i try and send a config from tasmotizer now

zealous dune Apr 1, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

i like how you're insisting on using a method that didn't previously work

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

i kinda like, the ui seems simple, but your correct its not working

#

tried to send one, checked in temite, ipaddress1 and get ipunset

#

so will need to try and find the setting to send it via temite i guess 😬

tacit plinth Apr 1, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

How did I get my sonoff to start publishign state on stat/devicename/POWER1 instead of stat/devicename/POWER?

#

Somehow it flipped over to POWER1 and my HA config is still looking for state on just POWER

zealous dune Apr 1, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

@sharp fjord why are you sending ipaddresssettings before making sure the wifi is connecting properly?

#

@tacit plinth there's a setoption for that https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Commands#setoptions

tacit plinth Apr 1, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

@zealous dune So weird -- doing it on two, 99% sure I didn't change anything

#

read through all the set options....

#

I wonder if tasmoadmin did something smart for me....

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

@sharp fjord why are you sending ipaddresssettings before making sure the wifi is connecting properly?
@zealous dune trying to see if the config file allowed it to see my wifi.

#

@tacit plinth there's a setoption for that https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Commands#setoptions
@zealous dune thanks will look at that

zealous dune Apr 1, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

@tacit plinth we don't trust TasmoAdmin in general

#

@sharp fjord did you send ssid1 and password1 commands?

tacit plinth Apr 1, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

it's only bricked two of my devices so far 🙂

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

@sharp fjord did you send ssid1 and password1 commands?
@zealous dune no, was using tasmotizer, and trying with config file from that. I new to all tjus so was trying for an easy solution, im not a programmer just a user with some electronic and electrical knowledge, smart home is a new venture for me

zealous dune Apr 1, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

@tacit plinth that is withing the statistical range

tacit plinth Apr 1, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

never had an issue before, but tried the FW upgrade twice through tasmoadmin..... 🤷‍♂️

#

just sonoff basics, had to pull and replace them -- will flash with the cable later

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

never had an issue before, but tried the FW upgrade twice through tasmoadmin..... 🤷‍♂️
@tacit plinth it flashes tamota ok, but not the config

#

if i send set ssid1 and password1 commands will i then be able to see it in tasmoadmin, to do rest if config?

#

guess i shoud set module type as well?

zealous dune Apr 1, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

are you running tasmoadmin while configuring the new device?

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

No, but have it installed in ha

#

should i stop it in ha?

zealous dune Apr 1, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

if its running its sending http requests to your device every 5 seconds... that tends to choke them or even crash them constantly

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

ah - didnt know that...

#

didnt think it would have any effect until the divice is added in there

#

will have to try this all later now as my daughter just got home... thanks for all the pointers, i will get there... was thinking i was starting easy with ha and tasmota... but seems to be a steep learning curve lol

Looking for a way to get rid of some ghost devices... left over from attempts to add z-wave and zigbee devices where the add process failed... I have tried everything I could find in the forums. My last attempt was to use samba to get access to the core.device_registry and entity files. Stopped the server from the cli, edited the files and saved them, restarted the server and these files were overwritten upon startup and the devices I removed were added to the end of the files... I must either be missing something stupid simple or these files are generated from some other set of files... Can someone give me a few tips?

sharp fjord Apr 1, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

So after hours this afternoon, re-flashed my sonoff, with tasmotizer, then connected to it wifi with my ipad, configured it to my wifi, then went into tasmoadmin and configured it, all in about 10mins! Thanks for the help @zealous dune also @tacit plinth 🍺

Good morning from germany, still have the problem that the Xiaomi air purifier 3H isn't reachable.

#

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/xiaomi_aqara/ mentions "Unsupported Devices: Xiaomi Aqara Gateway (lumi.gateway.aqhm01), as it is not possible to activate dev mode in the Mi Home App." Device is supported through the Homekit integration. Is that enough to change that info?
@split atlas Hello. Is it really supported? I'm trying to use it, but got problems.

#

Hello. I added my aqara hub (ZHWG11LM/lumi.gateway.aqhm01) via HomeKit integration. But I don't see my water sensors.
I use latest version HA. It is not supported yet?
I can only control LED and ARM mode on this hub.
Screenshot: https://i.ibb.co/8rpJZ80/image.png

split atlas Apr 2, 2020, 8:42 AM

It is supported, my very same hub did support all my sensors (temp, door&window) and also the lights.
I switched to Zigbee2MQTT though, works better with all zigbee devices combined, not just Xiaomi platform

I'd like to make updates to the web interface faster. Presently, I'm running Home Assistant on a Mint Linux Laptop. I probably have about 12 devices hanging off it. Mostly TASMOTA flashed Sonoffs, but a few raw ESP-8266s. Since they're spattered around the house, I mostly add temperature sensors to them. One of them has 6 temperature sensors (up the side of the hot water tank, so I can tell the hot water level).

#

One thing which makes the web interface run a lot faster is when I reduce the size of the database file. I've limited it to 7 days and it's still over 2Gb. Ideally, I'd like to keep 30 days data.

#

The CPU nor disk every goes really busy. Not even on a web page refresh. Does it sound like sifting the database is the bottleneck? I'm considering swapping out the HDD for an SSD, but I'd like to look at soft options first. What else might I look for? Is there a faster database?

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 9:41 AM

#

Moving away from SQLite to ... anything else will be a big improvement

#

I'd also move historical data to something like InfluxDB

tribal star Apr 2, 2020, 10:24 AM

#

I presume SQLlite is the default, which I'm using (unbeknown to me)? Give me an entry point, please. Steer me tot he idiot's guide to moving away from this DB.

#

If I move historical data to a second DB, is that still interfacing to HA? Has this been done? Can I integrate with two DBs?

anyone know how to remove a single device from an integration?

split atlas Apr 2, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

@split atlas Can you please provide any ref/manual or some information how to configure it? Thanks.
@ocean hinge Make sure to add all sensors/zigbee devices through the Xiaomi app. Do that this specific way:

First add the Hub to the App

#

click the hub, and choose 'child devices'

#

add the zigbee devices there. If you do it through 'add device' in Xiaomi app itself it will not work as well

#

after all child devices have been added, add hub to HA through Homekit integration

#

but if you are planning on having a wider range of devices in your house I would advice you to use Zigbee2MQTT and ditch Xiaomi hub all together

Hi all, still struggling... trying to get my 1st device - a sonoff flashed with tasmota into home assistant, have mqtt (mosquiotto) installed, tried viewing youtube guides, tried setopion19 1 (that reset its ssid config...?..) all stuff im finding seems to be out of date, as the configuration.yaml’s show a #homeassistant at the start and mine doesnt , tried to put it in manually in the yaml, but dont really j derstand what im doing... would like to get one thing up and running do i can start to learn by playing with it - any help please

#

its a sonoff, t2uk3ch...

#

switch

wet moat Apr 2, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

the windows app mqttexplorer is a nice way see what is going on. or the mosquitto_sub/pub cli linux commands

#

and i think the tasmota console shows what its publishing

#

see if the mqtt stuff is being sent out and what you expect. there's also the topic sub tool in dev tools in HA

#

i just like the windows tool because of its hierarchy and history

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

I can see a client Connectionwith the ip address of the sonoff sw in mosquitto Log...

wet moat Apr 2, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

so thats good, is it publishing any messages?

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

p2, c1, k30 u’mqttuser’

wet moat Apr 2, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

you can sub to topic "#" to see everything

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

not sure where or what you mean... sorry complete noob

wet moat Apr 2, 2020, 2:39 PM

#

its ok, for quick an easy, go to dev tools in HA -> mqtt and listen to topic "#"

#

you may need to make the device do something for it to publish

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

so in dev tools, mqtt

#

listen to a topic put # and clicked start listening

#

screen went loading data and then back to dev tools screen

#

if i look at the logs i can see a new websockey.api(ERROR)

wet moat Apr 2, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

i think all my tasmota logging settings are default

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

what is that? I have tasmoadmin installed in ha?

wet moat Apr 2, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

it may depend on the tasmota firmware you used, but try to go to the ip of the device in a webbrowser

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

the latest fin .bin file

#

hey any help - is appreicated - im stuck lol

#

tasmoadmin send http requests every 5 seconds to a tiny "cpu"

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

ah ok, imput it back on, to see if itbwould help me at all

wet moat Apr 2, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

so its publishing messages to the stat topic good. I see you talked about option19 above, why did you disable that?

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

i saw on a youtube vid by @ionic palm that sending that would make the switch auto find in ha

#

it didnt... lol

wet moat Apr 2, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

it should have once a few things are setup. you need to make sure the autodiscovery prefix is configured in ha.

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

cant find that...

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

have been looking...

wet moat Apr 2, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

there's a config block on the first page w/ an example

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

yes i looked at that earlier, but thought it was just for an old inbuilt mqtt funtion of ha, will that work with mosquitto mqtt?

#

guess i add it to the configuration.yaml ?

wet moat Apr 2, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

yes

#

what is the sonoff device type?

#

it looks like autodiscovery does not work for fans/covers

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

its a 3 gang light switch

#

t2uk3ch

#

copied and pasted that into my configuration.yaml

#

restarted ha

#

get the following error

#

The following integration and platforms could not be set up:

#

mqtt

#

please check your config

bright jacinthBOT Apr 2, 2020, 3:07 PM

#

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

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 3:09 PM

#

Not sure how to?

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

Have you read the doc page that links to?

zealous dune Apr 2, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

now i notice HA documentation doesn't mention MQTT integration

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 3:15 PM

#

Have you read the doc page that links to?
