Probably you're running #330944238910963714 so you'd need the SSH #add-ons-archived

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

You need to SSH to your host
@winged knoll from the add-on store - terminal & ssh ?

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

~irc @sharp fjord

bright jacinthBOT Apr 2, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

@sharp fjord 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.

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

Yes

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

sorry

#

new to all this...

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

No worries 😉

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

Did trynand setup duckdns, but could get the port to forward to my virtual machine

#

setting up terminal and ssh now

#

one think i have noticed, not sure if its relavent, is that when i click on the devices tab in configuration i get - Error while loading page devices. GoBack

#

and i dont have a devices.yaml file

#

should i?

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

No

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 3:24 PM

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

Yes

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

even on a win10 machine with virtual machine, i thought that was just for rasberry pi?

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 3:26 PM

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a Bluetooth receiver that can be hooked up to a NUC?

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

I used a CSR 4.0 dongle

tribal star Apr 2, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

I'd also move historical data to something like InfluxDB
@winged knoll I may have misunderstood something fundamental. I have history graphs of temperature. The suggestion was any DB other than SQLlite is better and that historic data should be moved somewhere else again. The suggestion was Influx DB, but with a caveat the Influx DB is not used by HAs UI.

#

I don't care about the data other than the months worth which I would like to see in HA.

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

You can use Grafana and other tools to do pretty graphs

#

HA isn't really intended for log term retention like that, though moving off of SQLite will help a bit

tribal star Apr 2, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

Crumbs. 30 days "long term"?

#

Is Grafana integratable to HA?

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

You can use iframe cards etc

tribal star Apr 2, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

I can.

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

But, HA is an automation platform - it's not really intended to keep thousands of data points, updated every minute, for a month

tribal star Apr 2, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

From the user perspective, I was just implementing a feature which was present.

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

If you manage what you record in the database, or make careful use of InfluxDB sensors with the data you're sending there, you can improve the situatino

#

Yeah, but... 🤷

tribal star Apr 2, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

Without a doubt, the vast majority is a ridiculously high frequency of temperature measurements.

tribal star Apr 2, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

It's irritating, becasue I can't get my head around the automation aspect of it. I do all my automation in Python. I really only use HA because it has nice graphs!

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

👍

sharp fjord Apr 2, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

HA ... Nice graphs 🤔

#

Well, with Lovelace they're a lot better these days

tribal star Apr 2, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

What are my options?

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

For graphing, InfluxDB and Grafana or Chronograph

#

They're designed to graph time series data like this

tribal star Apr 2, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

HA was my start point. Back when I was truly naive, I though HA was doing it all and things like teh broker were "nice to haves". If I'd known then what I know now, I'd probably have installed an independant broker and just written my own automation engine. But I struggle with web development. So, relatively speaking, HA: nice graphs.

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

I send all my data long term to influx for the things I actually want graphed for longer than a few hours

tribal star Apr 2, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

Only feature missing from HA graphs is the ability to switch off autoscaling and just set fixed max and min pointa.

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

some of the custom cards can do that

tribal star Apr 2, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

Oh?

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card for instance

tribal star Apr 2, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

I've not looked at other folks' cards. Is there a catalog?

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 4:58 PM

wet knot Apr 2, 2020, 8:05 PM

I'm using BT, nmap and ping for device_tracker, but BT is the only one reporting anything else than 'away'. Can anyone give a clue as to why? It's fairly simple stuff and has been working for a long time, but I just noticed that its all "away" now. I'm on latest and update regularly.

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

I know that some people on 0.107 and using #330944238910963714 /Hass.io have reported nmap issues

#

All of those will report away when devices don't respond, but they should report home too if the device is there

wet knot Apr 2, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

that's my version all right. I can't tell for sure it started with that one though and yes, it's nmap that reports wrong.

bright jacinthBOT Apr 2, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

Want to see what issues are open (or were open and are now closed)?

Check issues for the backend, issues for the UI, and issues for the documentation.

winged knoll Apr 2, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

I'd check to see if there's a known issue, and if not open one

#

You're at least the third person I know of to see that, which means likely far more folks have it

Noob question - my home Assistant app on iphone was not connecting to my HA after setting up duckdns and i could change the URL so i reinstalled the app. Now I have two device trackers shown iphone and iphone. Where do i delete the earlier device and how? Any help

random delta Apr 2, 2020, 9:03 PM

random delta Apr 2, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

I haven't played the latest one but all the earlier were amazing for solo or multiplayer

#

So my question was not that i deleted the iphone from integration, i have my default iphone labels as iphone_2 for all entity and items. Is there a way to make them as the Iphone (without _2 or anything)?

glossy prism Apr 2, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

@random delta yep, go to configuration > integrations, click on your phone, click on the phone again, then click on the entities and change the name in the dialog that appears

unborn raft Apr 3, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

Hi, I just migrated from OpenHAB to Home Assistant. It's a fairly positive experience.

#

I don't quite understand the device/entity concepts, though. I want to define my own device and do interesting things, but it doesn't seem obvious how to do that short of finding an integration that already does it.

#

e.g. my car reports a lot of data via mqtt. I'd like to make a car device with various properties I populate via mqtt. e.g., location, charge state, etc... I also can send instructions to the car. e.g., "If it's a Friday and the car is at my office, set the charge level to 90%"

wet moat Apr 3, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

Create mqtt sensors for those topics and values

unborn raft Apr 3, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

Well, my car isn't a sensor exactly. I suppose it's a battery sensor. Can I dynamically update the location of sensors?

#

I do have mqtt_json working as a device_tracker for it, but that feels like part of the solution.

#

I disabled an entity, how do I re-enable it?

#

worked around it by deleting the integration and re-adding.

drifting grove Apr 3, 2020, 5:56 AM

#

Go to the entities page, click on the down-facing error on the upper right and select disabled entitites.

#

Then you can select the disabled one and re-enable it

Thank you. 🙂 i tried going that route but I didn't find it there. I'm not at v.latest so that might be why I didn't see it.

I have several zigbee relay, all exposed as switch devices. Using the "light switch" integration I also expose those switches as light sources. One of them always shows the state "unavailable", even though the underlying relay is "available" and works. Any hint how to debug? I cannot see any difference to the other (working) relays.

vestal hazel Apr 3, 2020, 12:09 PM

#

Dear All, could you please advice, i have a sensor, which has an option "expire_after:60", the value appears value_template: "{{ value_json.dht_t }}"
it works fine, i have receiving the values each 5 seconds, but, sometimes my device sends JSON without value defined(but with other sensors state) due to crc validation issues(thus dht_t parameter is not present at all ), and in HA immediately status of the sensor changed to N/A - but why ? should not it be changed to N/A after 60 seconds as defined in config ?

winged knoll Apr 3, 2020, 12:17 PM

#

It's N/A because the value is missing

vestal hazel Apr 3, 2020, 12:42 PM

#

but the 60 seconds were not passed

#

in case of received "dht_t" : none - it's ok, but when the parameter is missing - is it a question... 🙂

vestal hazel Apr 3, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

btw, why is not possible to define to the switch the friendly_name parameter ?
Invalid config for [switch.mqtt]: [friendly_name] is an invalid option for [switch.mqtt]

glossy prism Apr 3, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

friendly_name isn't a valid option, but name is: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/switch.mqtt/

vestal hazel Apr 3, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

it is not possible to use not english name..

winged knoll Apr 3, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

What do you mean?

#

The entity_id has to be [a-z0-9_]

vestal hazel Apr 3, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

in developer panel if you check the switch attributes you will see the friendly_name defined..

winged knoll Apr 3, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

That integration uses name - that's all

#

It's still the friendly name

vestal hazel Apr 3, 2020, 1:32 PM

Hi - I'm having trouble getting a Sonoff Tasmotta switch to turn off. I don't have anything actually wired to the Sonoff for testing, I'm just watching it's web page for on/off status. My HA button for it just springs back and only seems to ever send the ON command. Mosquitto is my MQTT broker and I can successfully send the off command with mosquitto_pub, just not from HA.

tame ivy Apr 3, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

So Tasmota GUI is okay and so is MQTT direct? Did you auto discover?

prisma abyss Apr 3, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

Correct, I can turn it off with the Tasmota GUI and the CLI/MQTT broker mosquitto but not HA. I don't have auto discovery enabled on HA, should I try that? I figured that was just to "find" devices, not read or set their status but maybe I'm misunderstanding the auto discover feature

Hello geniuses, I have few wifi lamps that are working with Smart Life app and Some MagicHome apps. How can I add them to HA. I saw many recommending TUYA app. But is these generic ones dont work with HA? Any workaround if not possible?

tame ivy Apr 3, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

@prisma abyss I am new to all this myself but I would try to get the Tasmota discovered in Ha. This would purge any pesky MQTT issues.
Type SetOption19 1 in the Tasmota console.
If this does not solve your problem...try clearing all MQTT messages in your broker...related with this device topic.
The issue is Ha and not Tasmota, that is certain.

#

@random delta tuya has an integration for HA so if they work on tuya app, they will integrate with HA. Dunno about Magic Home.
Plan B would be to see via the [repo] if the bulbs are supported and can try using Tuya convert to replace their firmware. Bit of a learning curve there. HTH.

Those are my 3 devices however they don't show up under the Entities tab. What am I missing here?

Sounds like a Tasmota bug @fickle willow - I'd ask on the Tasmota Discord
@winged knoll I asked Tasmota forum and did what they want me to check. So they clear Tasmota side as consol tele json = to webUI but different to HA data.

@arctic nova > Trying to get 3 tasmota devices to show up as devices in Hass.io. I have mosquitto setup and it shows the devices communicating. Did you add sensors (if you have POW devices that can show power consumption info and switches- to turn on and off?. Without definining then you will not get the devices to apprear in HA

Hi Any suggestions on smart light bulb, works with no hub ?

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 11:54 AM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations#light 😉

#

Zigbee and Z-Wave lights will work if you add the required USB stick

#

Otherwise, there's a stack of stuff there. Your options are going to largely come down to your budget, and where on the planet you live - different countries have different options

I'm trying to set up some template sensors for a Tuya heater so I can track the on/off status over time, changes to the target temperature and current temperature better. I have some questions:

For unit_of_measurement what is the syntax for degrees centigrade?
For on/off do I need to do anything special or can I just specify no unit_of_measurement?
Any other advice for getting values from Tuya devices?

No unit of measurement required, unless you want one

You posted over 15 lines in one hit...

#

Just use a code sharing site, be nice to those on mobile 😉

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

Fair enough

#

So the default Tuya integration seems to get the status from my device very rarely. Any advice for getting the temperature and hvac_status every 5 minutes?

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

Ah yes, that uses the cloud...

#

https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert is one option - re-flash everything with Tasmota for local control

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

Yeah - seen that. it seems really well tested with lamps and power outlets. I'm concerned with bricking my heater.

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

Tasmota have their own Discord, you could ask there if anybody has flashed that device

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

Ok - I'll check there. But If I didn't want to flash, any thoughts?

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

Well, it depends on the rate limits of their API

#

But ... https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tuya/#service

#

Maybe the tuya.force_update service will work?

#

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/tuya/__init__.py#L102 suggests the default should be 5 minutes. I wonder if the devices aren't sending their updates at that kind of speed, or of there's something else going on

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

I'm really not sure how to tell the frequency. I've already created an automation to run tuya.force_update every 10 minutes, but not seeing that reflected in graphs.

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

Check the log file for any messages

#

It does sound like the devices themselves may not be sending updates at that kind of interval

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:03 PM

#

I'm not sure where to find the logfile. Logbook doesn't look right. Nor does History. Developer Logs just gives a Warning message about data overriding my configuration log.

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

The log file is in your config folder

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

home-assistant.log?

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

Yup

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

Just got a single line in there about mqtt config overriding my configuration.yaml

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

It could well be that you're got logger set to too high a level

#

info is ideal for working out what's going on

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

I have no idea how to configure that. To be honest it feels at this stage that I would have had to read and understood the entire documentation before I could start with page 1.

#

I don't have any lines relating to that in configuration.yaml. It will be at the default setting.

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

The default is supposed to be very verbose, but reality says otherwise

#

I'd set it explicitly to info

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:14 PM

👍

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

I guess I need to wait a while before anything would show up in the log

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

Things should appear immediately

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

Things are appearing, but not seeing anything related to Tuya

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

Yeah, that'll depend on the Tuya integration doing something and it may not log unless there's a problem

#

debug should, but that's also crazy noisy

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

I can see that my automation to runforce_update triggered

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

If there's problems they should show up just after that

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

last entry just says "Executing step call service" - was three minutes ago.

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

That probably means no problems

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

If I turned on logging to debug, would entry relating to tuya have the string tuya in them?

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

I don't know, but probably

#

You could just turn Tuya to debug

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

Is that configuration made in configuring tuya or logger?

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

logger

#

See the logger docs again

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

Sure - I don't see how to refer to the tuya integration.

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

To ignore all messages lower than critical and log event for specified components:

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

homeassistant.components.tuya ?

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

👍

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

homeassistant.components.tuya: debug

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

Correctly indented, yes

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

"Executing step call service" line is the last one, from a minute ago.

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

I'm guessing it's ok then

#

The only other thing you could do would be do a network capture to watch the packets, if it doesn't use SSL

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

Yes - card I created to track the current temperature sensor says "2 minutes ago"

#

Hmm - looks like Tuya cloud might only get the data from my heater periodically or if I change a state in the Tuya app.

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

Yeah, that matches what you described earlier

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

So it looks like I've got HA set up right. I'll see whether HA records any temperature changes over night - that should give a clear answer.

winged knoll Apr 5, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

Well, it'll give you an idea of how often the device updates the cloud service anyway

wind condor Apr 5, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

Ok - thanks for the advice and help! I got somewhere, if not all the way 🙂

#

Have a good day/evening/whatever 🙂 Cheers!

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
@split atlas I did everything as you said, but still can't see any sensors. Only hub itself. In mi home app I can see the hub, and in child devices I added water lick sensor. BUt after pairing with HA I can see only hub (I can controll its LED and thats all). I'm doing something wrong?

#

I'm using Aqara ZHWG11LM/lumi.gateway.aqhm01 hub.

#

In HA it was recognized as: light.aqara_hub_3775 and alarm_control_panel.aqara_hub_3775

#

Hub was discovered automatically by HA. I only entered a homekit code like xxx-xx-xxx.

Is there someone who's connected the Feit bulbs (BPA800) into hassio that could help answer some probably rudimentary questions? I'm struggling to understand if ESPHome is all that's needed to flash them or if they need to be connected by USB first and flashed with Tasmota. Can't get it to show online and is refusing a connection when I try to have esphome upload to the manual IP of the bulb, so I'm clearly missing a step and not sure where

I’m trying to add my Samsung tv. It discovered it at first but then I deleted the integration to try something and when trying to add it back it won’t rediscover the device. The TV is connected to WiFi and I tried both the integration way and the config.yaml way and nothing seems to work

proven dagger Apr 6, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

Is the the right place to ask about being unable to delete a device that was auto discovered by MQTT?
The device is no longer connected to the MQTT server, all entities have been deleted for the device & I've rebooted multiple times but the device itself won't go away... 😕
I didn't even realize it was possible to have a device without any associated entities! What's the use case for having a device that has no entities?

proven dagger Apr 6, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

So to answer my own question, the only way I could find to delete the "dead" device was the following:

Go to Configuration->Devices then click on the “dead” device and copy the device ID from the URL. (It's the long random alphanumeric string at the end of the URL.)
Open the /config/.storage/core.device_registry file in your favorite text editor.
Search for the device ID copied from step 1 and delete the entire section that belong to that ID & save the file.
Restart Home Assistant.

#

What a pain. (If someone knows a better way please let me know!) It would be nice if this was improved so we could just delete devices from the GUI. And I'm still curious... what use case is there for having a device that has no entities??

Hi guys. I’m trying to configure some door switches (binary.sensor.sonoff_garage_sw) to use the device_class that should display the output as ‘open’ ‘closed’ rather than ‘on’ ‘off’. I have a customize.yaml set, but I see no changes. Any suggestions?

glossy prism Apr 6, 2020, 4:48 AM

@heavy mountain did you reload customizations?

winged knoll Apr 6, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

Entities also have to change state

whole stag Apr 6, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

The main reason I chose HA was the fact I don't need to reply on the cloud/web to use my devices. Recently been proved right yet again. With this lockdown I'm seeing some of my pre-HA devices having problems. Worst hit seems to be Xiaomi. I have 3 IP cameras using the Xiaomi app and a few sensors that I haven't yet moved away from the app. The IP cameras can't be viewed or the image freezes and the sensors keep dropping offline. I'm in the Philippines and it may be a local issue but would be interested to see if anyone else is seeing the same problem.

fast bane Apr 6, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

I am planning on installing/designing really complex zone damper system where PIR sensors act as presence detection, then it uses BLE or Zigbee sensors to get temps then it calculates what Dampers to open to what zones

#

SO the temps will matter as it will be using that as baseline

zealous dune Apr 6, 2020, 4:40 PM

probably best to keep it all one protocol in that case

@winged knoll I looked at Xiaomi, Aquara and ClearGlass product listings and searched taobao, ali etc. and there isn't one anywhere I could find. But I have opted to step back from this whole proiect, the reason I was buying these sensors was to implement heating zones throughout my house. But after reviewing the manual for my gas heater I realised I can only have a max of 2 vents closed, before exceeding the back pressure limits and I'm not convinced zoning will work too well anyway. Best that money goes towards actually paying the bills then toys 😕

#

On that note are the xiaomi vaccums good? 😂

Hi all :)
I used automatic integration for TP-Link HS110 and it works fine (even for displaying energy consumption).
My question is : How to use "current power w" value ...

I tried to add as requested here https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tplink/ (In order to get the power consumption)
Am i right ? (if yes i don't understand why i am encountering this error)

Invalid config for [sensor.template]: invalid slug switch.ordi_amps (try switch_ordi_amps) for dictionary value @ data['sensors']. Got OrderedDict([('switch.ordi_amps', OrderedDict([('friendly_name_template', '{{ states.switch.switch.ordi.name}} Current'), ('value_template', '{{ states.switch.switch.ordi.attributes["current_a"] | float }}'), ('unit_of_measurement', 'A')])), ('switch.ordi_watts', OrderedDict([('friendly_name_template', '{{ states.switch.switch.ordi.name}} Current Consumption'), ('value_template', '{{ states.switch.switch.ordi.attributes["current_power_w"] | float }}'), ('unit_of_measurement', 'W')])), ('switc....

Hi there. I am trying to install homeassistant to my own hardware containing a raspberry pi.
is there any chance to enable the SDIO interface of the Raspberry and add a broadcom wifi driver into the kernel?
I want to add a broadcom 43362 chip
i have already done this under raspbian without any problems. But as far as i know, hassio does not belong to raspbian.

winged knoll Apr 7, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

You'd need to use the Raspbian based alternative install for #330944238910963714 - see the channel there

ripe yew Apr 7, 2020, 11:37 AM

#

ok thank you. are there any drawbacks when using raspiba based alternative?

#

Or are all features available?

winged knoll Apr 7, 2020, 11:39 AM

#330944238910963714 can explain more about that choice

I had set my eyes on getting a Nest, cause I liked the look/style and the simple elegant look to it, but as I get more into this stuff, it looks like Nest may not integrate well with the HomeAssistant for example

Hello. I added my aqara hub (ZHWG11LM/lumi.gateway.aqhm01) via HomeKit integration (directly, I don't have any apple devices). But I don't see my water sensors.
I use latest version HA.
I can only control LED and ARM mode on this hub.
Screenshot: https://i.ibb.co/8rpJZ80/image.png
What I'm doing wrong or I miss some special configuration?

#

It was added as 'HomeKit Accessory', but I can't see any sensors. Only hub itself. In mi home app I can see the hub, and in child devices I added water lick sensors. But after pairing with HA I can see only hub (I can controll its LED and thats all). I'm doing something wrong?
In HA it was recognized as: light.aqara_hub_3775 and alarm_control_panel.aqara_hub_377. Hub was discovered automatically by HA. I only entered a homekit code like xxx-xx-xxx.

@vestal radish Remove the integration, restart, then remove any remaining entities

tidal grotto Apr 7, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

@glossy prism have no scooby, I used this guide https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/raspberry-pi/

glossy prism Apr 7, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

That's not in docker then, that's in a venv. You sure you installed that way?

tidal grotto Apr 7, 2020, 5:13 PM

oh, okay not in docker then 😛 yes it was isntalled using this guide, I installed emby earlier in docker I believe so just assumed

this is the guide I am looking at but its hard for me to follow - https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/autostart/systemd/

glossy prism Apr 7, 2020, 5:14 PM

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/autostart/

Lol

Do you need it to be in a venv? If you're already running docker you might as well run it in docker

tidal grotto Apr 7, 2020, 5:15 PM

Is there a way to direct HA to ignore state "changes" when the state hasn't actually changed from the previous state?

oblique bear Apr 7, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

@turbid canopy you mean like in an automation?

turbid canopy Apr 7, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

Yeah, though if I use your condition for the automation then it won’t be necessary

winged knoll Apr 8, 2020, 6:22 AM

You can do that in automations, with a template condition, but not generically since attribute changes count

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 9:22 AM

#

Hi. so i just installed HA in Docker (Host: OpenMediaVault (debian)). i added the Google Cast integration. but it keeps saying that it cant find anything

#

my ChromeCast is on and active

#

and my laptop can see it too

#

the docker's NIC is set to Bridge.

#

I also have a LIFX lamp. it cant find that either

winged knoll Apr 8, 2020, 9:26 AM

#

Is Docker set to use host mode networking

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 9:27 AM

#

no. its set to Bridge

#

should i set it to host?

winged knoll Apr 8, 2020, 9:27 AM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/docker/

#

Every single example there is for host 😉

jovial pulsar Apr 8, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

Host is pretty much required for discovery.

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

hmm. alright. i should leave the port forwarding alone right?

jovial pulsar Apr 8, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

Or macvlan. Otherwise, you'd have to open a but-tonne of ports.

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 9:29 AM

#

i think i broke it? the webpage wont load anymore

#

nvm it came back up

#

so...it could not find the chromecast. but it found the lifx lamp

fringe moon Apr 8, 2020, 9:31 AM

#

Discovery 🤢

#

But host was required for Xiaomi hub integration too

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 9:31 AM

#

all of these IoT devices have static IPs

fringe moon Apr 8, 2020, 9:31 AM

#

Since it uses multicast

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 9:32 AM

#

can i tell it to look at a specific IP for the chromecast?

fringe moon Apr 8, 2020, 9:32 AM

#

Yes

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 9:33 AM

#

i mean, i dont see why it should not find the chromecast device

#

it found the lamp. which is on the same subnet

fringe moon Apr 8, 2020, 9:33 AM

#

Again, discovery 🤢

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 9:34 AM

#

hmm. so where can i manually configure the chromecast?

#

config.yaml i assume?

fringe moon Apr 8, 2020, 9:34 AM

#

Have you tried reading the Google cast docs?

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 9:35 AM

#

this? https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/cast/

fringe moon Apr 8, 2020, 9:35 AM

#

Yes

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 9:38 AM

#

btw, can i use a self signed certificate to get HA to use https?

#

right now its HTTP

winged knoll Apr 8, 2020, 9:38 AM

#

As long as nothing other than your browser needs to connect

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 9:38 AM

#

"Note that Home Assistant Cast requires your Home Assistant installation to be accessible via https://." looks like i need HTTPS

fringe moon Apr 8, 2020, 9:38 AM

#

That said, getting an official certificate is easy

winged knoll Apr 8, 2020, 9:39 AM

#

You only need HTTPS if you're casting to the displays

#

For normal media/TTS you don't

#

Read the whole section you quoted 😉

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 9:41 AM

#

ah. thanks guys. i'll mess more with it later

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 10:00 AM

#

Oh before i go, if i set up Lets encrypt or a Self signed certificate on OpenMediaVault, it should carry over to HA right?

#

since the parent Host is using https, the docker containers should use that too i think

winged knoll Apr 8, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

It won't magically carry over, no

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 10:15 AM

#

ah i see. btw, is running HA in a Docker container recommended?

winged knoll Apr 8, 2020, 10:21 AM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/#recommended
🤔

#

Would appear to be 😉

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 10:29 AM

#

i see. btw, there should be a "hass.io" menu where i can install plugins etc...but for me, its not there. do i need to configure something to make it show up?

summer hill Apr 8, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

Is it possible to sync light effects across multiple lights? perhaps in a HA group? So if i got 6x downlights, and i set colourloop to ON, then, can the colour loop be in sync across those downlights?

winged knoll Apr 8, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

@stone sand Then you didn't install #330944238910963714 😉

#

~light.group @summer hill - probably with that

bright jacinthBOT Apr 8, 2020, 10:30 AM

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 10:33 AM

#

@winged knoll welp. i should start over?

winged knoll Apr 8, 2020, 10:33 AM

#

Only if you want add-ons

#

They're just another way of installing software

#

If you're happy to manage Docker, you don't need it

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 10:35 AM

#

yeah i would like to have easy access to the add ons... i believe adding hassio: to the config would fix it (according to the forums)

winged knoll Apr 8, 2020, 10:36 AM

#

Then the forums are telling you lies, but have fun with that

stone sand Apr 8, 2020, 10:39 AM

Can I pick someone's brain about cover templates? I'm using zwave2mqtt, with full JSON payloads (on both the availability topic and the state topic). If I define a template sensor with the same topic as the template cover, it reports the state correctly, but the cover either shows as unknown or open (when it is currently closed)

#

oh, just kidding, apparently it did work and just took a minute to take effect

#

Seeing as how availability_template is not available for cover.mqtt, does that mean my payload_available and payload_not_available need to be exact matches to what gets published to the availability_topic?

Hello. I just received a Sonoff RF Bridge and I'm trying to flash it with Tasmota using ESPEasy and the latest tasmota.bin file. My FTDI adapter is connected properly but when I connect the USB wire to my PC while holding the button, the device doesn't seem to go into flashing mode. The green LED turns on solid and the flashing operation fails and tells me to "check settings". Any ideas ?

typically you'll have the baud rate, then the data / parity / stop bit settings.

the latter is typically 8 N 1,

if it's not liking the full spead baud rate try setting it down a step at a time until you hit around 9800 or it works

Of my 5 Tasmota devices, 4 of them have been autodetected by the HomeAssistant MQTT integration. I cannot get the last one to autodetect. All are seen and accessible in TasmoAdmin, confirming that they are all online, and can be switched from there.
All of their IP addresses show up in the logging for Mosquitto broker, with no errors.

#

While troubleshooting, I've completely uninstalled Mosquitto, manually removed all of the devices from \config.storage\core.entity_registry, then reinstalled Mosquitto, at which point none of the five showed up; changing the client names allowed the 4 to show back up, but the fifth still fails.

#

I'm close to spinning up a new server to see if it works there. Before I do that, is there anything anyone can suggest to try?

drifting grove Apr 9, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

I just turned on autodiscover on my newly working rf bridge by going into the device console and entering this command : SetOption19 1

Not sure if I want this in devices or integration but I want to know if this is possible;
I have a physical doorbell button which isn't doing anything. Can I wire this to gpio pins on a raspberry pi, which would then trigger homeassistant to ping a notification/play a sound on the Google home mini? I don't know if it's possible but with all the extra time I have off I felt it was worth a go?

Thank you. I will give it a read.

winged knoll Apr 9, 2020, 2:52 PM

There's so many integrations, a "what's the best device" is hard to answer. Easier to help with "which is better, A or B"

drifting grove Apr 9, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

I thought there might be a list of light bulbs that integrate best.

turbid canopy Apr 9, 2020, 2:56 PM

winged knoll Apr 9, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

Well, again, best is complicated. If you're already using Zigbee, or Z-Wave, the obvious answer is there. If not... depends on what else you use, if any

#

Budget, where in the world, there's a lot of things that make "best" incredibly subjective

drifting grove Apr 9, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

Yeah,. I will check out the integrations and look at the rating and poll type

#

Thanks

winged knoll Apr 9, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

IMO, Zigbee 3.0 or Z-Wave Plus are good choices. Zigbee 1.2 or non-Plus Z-Wave gets more interesting

Hi there! I am struggling to make a new Firmware version of the Nano shutter device (from Aeotec) recognized and configurable in Home assistant. I've described the problem in this post on the forum: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/aeon-labs-nano-shutter-new-firmware-to-handle-blinds-position/168703 but I have no clue how to go forward. Apparently @rough kestrel succeeded but never answered how he succeeded, so if you're interested to help me, I would really appreciate.
The problem mainly goes around zwave device configuration file. I updated it but it doesn't seem to be taken into account.
If you have time to read the post and help me it would be great!

Question: my Insteon setup stopped functioning. Should I see my switches dimmers under Configuration -> Devices? I only see them in Configuration -> Entities

kind sundial Apr 9, 2020, 4:53 PM

New user decided to redo installation of HA after initial 3 weeks of installation to get clean install. Rpi3 and Husbzb stick. New download HA to SSD and reset husbzb using sigma labs soft and started setup of husbzb with only 2 devices. Had a daylong battle with a monoprice Z3111 sensor to get it to install-at least 10 reset of stick and reboot of hassocks/ha. No issue with zigbee side - ecobee smart plug to detect and generate on/off and kw demand entities (other than although plug reports cumulative kWh this entity isn’t generated).
My problem is that neither the zigbee or z-wave sensor entities update their values. On off control of the zigbee plug is instantaneous and if I look at the metering cluster I can see the demand value at this instant. If I poll manually this value then shows as the device state value regardless of what the switch does. Similarly on the zwave log I can see values being updated (in hex) every hour but nothing changes in overview. Thoughts?

Just raw values being published to that topic, no JSON. do you need to specify a value_template even if the state is the entire payload being published to the state_topic?

I have a RGB and i used it with Smart Home App which I could not integrate with HA, So i moved these devices to tuya app and now they work.

so with it being beta does that mean I'm better to just stick with a pi for now?

#

They all work great except one of them sends the same data value for open AND close.. The MQTT lines are exactly the same and as a result, HA shows the door as opened when I open but never goes back to closed

#

anyone had this before ?

tawdry cedar Apr 10, 2020, 5:11 AM

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anybody is using an integration with smartthings ?

I am a little confused, there is a smartthings hub - do I need this ?

I am initially interested in adding a smartthings motion sensor to HA - so in this case is the Hub needed ?

If its not - when would it be a good idea to add a HUB ?

#

Oh while I am asking a question 🙂 Anybody using another motion sensor device - recommendations over smartthings ?

#

Thanks in advance.

tawdry cedar Apr 10, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

I am guessing no as homekit does the what the hub would do - but again - not 100% sure here

obtuse willow Apr 10, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

@tawdry cedar: do you have a zigbee radio and zha working? if so, you can add the smarthings motion detector through that, no need for the smartthings hub

#

some folks use the smartthings hub as zwave/zigbee radio, but i prefer to have everything done directly from home assistant. i have a smartthings motion detector talking to homeassistant directly via zigbee and it works great

ocean hinge Apr 10, 2020, 7:13 AM

Hello. I added my aqara hub (ZHWG11LM/lumi.gateway.aqhm01) via HomeKit integration (directly, I don't have any apple devices). But I don't see my water sensors.
I use latest version HA.
I can only control LED and ARM mode on this hub.
Screenshot: https://i.ibb.co/8rpJZ80/image.png
What I'm doing wrong or I miss some special configuration?
It was added as 'HomeKit Accessory', but I can't see any sensors. Only hub itself. In mi home app I can see the hub, and in child devices I added water lick sensors. But after pairing with HA I can see only hub (I can controll its LED and thats all). I'm doing something wrong?
In HA it was recognized as: light.aqara_hub_3775 and alarm_control_panel.aqara_hub_377. Hub was discovered automatically by HA. I only entered a homekit code like xxx-xx-xxx.
Hello all! If anyone interested: there where no support for leak sensors. They where just added in 0.108.1 release and now it works!

#

Thanks for that to user https://github.com/C6H6

tawdry cedar Apr 10, 2020, 12:47 PM

#

@obtuse willow Thanks for the reply, no I don't have a zigbee radio - so in that case i need either the smartthings hub or zigee radio - right ?

#

I suppose a zigbee radio would be better for home assistent integration

#

THe zigbee radio is the small electronic modules - right ? 🙂 I just thought I better check first. I mean they don't sell a branded zigbee radio - you either get a small module or have something that has zigbee built in

glossy prism Apr 10, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

Zigbee USB stick is definitely the way to go. The smartthings integration is cloud based but a USB stick is all local

tawdry cedar Apr 10, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

thanks. Silly question, but i presume that this needs to be added to the home assitant device - currently running it on a PI 4.

#

If this is the case, I presume the PI 4 supports this, it has USB sockets 🙂

civic kraken Apr 10, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

afaik they are standalone devices, but you can just stick them into your pi if you want. Check the topic in #zigbee-archived

#

Thanks.

obtuse willow Apr 10, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

@tawdry cedar yep, it’s just a usb stick that you add to your rpi. I like the husbzb as it’s a combo of zwave and zigbee https://www.amazon.com/GoControl-CECOMINOD016164-HUSBZB-1-USB-Hub/dp/B01GJ826F8

#

Even if you don’t use the zwave now it’s the same price as just zigbee usb, it’s supported by zha (the HA native zigbee integration), and it gives you the option of adding zwave devices in the future

I'm pulling my hair out with a new Sonoff R2 flashed with Tasmota. I've done several of these this past December and had no issues. Now something is different and I can't figure it out. The R2 is flashed with Tasmota 8.2.0. The flashing went without a hitch. I've condifured Tasmota with GPIO14 Sensor on Switch1, like my other ones. SetOption19 1 has been run. Wifi is good since i can get to it MQTT paramters are good since it tested them with both console and MQTT Explorer. I changed the topic to be specific to this device. Also changed the friendly name. Back in HA, I'm using the Mosquitto broker add-on, have been for a while now. Thus I don't think I can turn on the built-in MQTT discovery (I get in-use errors when I do). I've made sure, in Configuration -> Intergrations -> MQTT (127.0.0.1) that "enable newly added entities" is on. I see the messages on the homeassistant topic. I just can't figure out why it's not picking up the new device. Could there be something wrong with the Mosquitto broker's auto discovery?

1 is via this HACS plugin: https://github.com/StyraHem/ShellyForHASS

winged knoll Apr 11, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

@drifting grove Because the tracker messages aren't retained so when HA starts there's no previous state

wild ferry Apr 11, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

2nd one (and my preferred one) is manually, like this (for a switch):

command_topic: "shellies/shellyplug-s-267B57/relay/0/command"

limber valley Apr 12, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

I'm new to HA and am trying to move away from devices that rely on the internet and/or separate hubs.

I have lights that can be flashed to tasmota so those are taken care of.

Looking for door sensors now. I see some that are suggested but seem to require a hub of some sort. Is that the easiest/usual way these things work? Any sensors that are suggested?

vernal vigil Apr 12, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

@manic wharf J Have you looked at the sonoff fan controller?

#

https://www.itead.cc/smart-home/sonoff-ifan03-wifi-ceiling-fan-light-controller.html

#

@limber valley There's a few different avenues you can take. Zigbee, ZWave, RF, even wifi. IMO, zigbee has the best options for small/aesthetically pleasing/good performance door/window and motion sensors. Within Zigbee you have a bunch of options for local control that are compatible with HA.

limber valley Apr 12, 2020, 3:24 AM

#

I have a smartthings hub (well, the usb stick for shield) but am probably going to move away from that too.

#

I have HA running on my server right now but will probably move it to a pi soon. Could get zigbee adapters

vernal vigil Apr 12, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

There's a bunch of different Zigbee sticks that work with ZHA (HA's built in zigbee), further you can use Zigbee2MQTT with a smaller subset if you're okay with some tinkering. You an use deconz with the conbee 2 stick... And you can now use Tasmota zibee with a specific zigbee chip (which will probably expand in the future. You're already familiar with Smart Things, so you're well aware of the zigbee stuff there... Lastly there's also a Xiaomi hub if you're okay with using just xiaomi sensors - most people just block it from the internet anyway, so you can use it all locally...

limber valley Apr 12, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

I think I would like to leave my options open the best I can so would probably go with a zigbee stick

manic wharf Apr 12, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

@vernal vigil yeah, i looked at that one, but my fan is just a basic. I just use the speed controls on the wall switch. Plus, i'm not a huge fan of the tuya conversions. I have some tuya wall switches and i've yet to convert them yet b/c it is a pain

#

but again, i want wall switch operation. I don't want to lose that functionality

vernal vigil Apr 12, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

@manic wharf I don't have any ceiling fans, so my knowledge around this is slim, but I seem to recall you usually can't use regular light dimmers for fans. The type of load is different, IIRC.

manic wharf Apr 12, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

that's what i was afraid of, scottd. I saw someone using another kind of switch and had to swap a capacitor for US voltage fans

#

i'd assume light dimmers would be expecting even less of a load

vernal vigil Apr 12, 2020, 3:54 AM

#

@manic wharf FWIW -Lutron make a smart fan switch - their smart switches are pretty top notch in so far as they're rock solid and instant... But that's a whole hub and ecosystem type of thing rather than just a standalone wifi switch.

manic wharf Apr 12, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

@vernal vigil yeah, i really want to be able to tasmota or otherwise have a local-only solution. when internet is out, I don't want to be down and out... also, any hosted service is able to be canceled on me (like so many already have)

vernal vigil Apr 12, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

Lutron's hub runs everything locally and works without internet. Commands run over a local telnet or ssh connection to the hub IIRC.

Hi all, I’m at the very beginning of my HA journey and whilst initially thinking of keeping to all Wi-Fi devices, it seems like the Shelly door sensor would not provide the response time needed to immediately trigger lights when arriving home in the dark. Can anyone advise whether z-wave or zigbee would be a better choice, and is there a particular door sensor well regarded in this community? Thanks

Genera question about locks.
Is there a way to “intercept” lock.lock and prevent it locking IF the door is open. Automation that watches for lock.lock still triggers the lock as that is the initial command. The only way I can find so far is to create an input_boolean. Then use that in replace of all lock.lock commands, so you can intercept and prevent it locking if the door is open?

#

Would the devs ever consider being able to specify a door (optional) in the config that if open won’t lock the lock?

abstract moat Apr 12, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

no

#

yea the other mqtt stuff works right

novel flint Apr 12, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

is the entity showing up in States?

abstract moat Apr 12, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

just this one dimmer i have to set up manualy cause its not picked up by discovery

#

how do i check that

#

im kinda new to this

Developer Tools > States

abstract moat Apr 12, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

dev tools states?

#

looking

#

its gona take a min there is a lot of stuff here

novel flint Apr 12, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

@glossy prism wonder if you are versed on being able to set a custom button for like WLED (I'll probably get sent there) for having a certain effect come on immediately with the push of a button... for example.... "Bedtime WLED" you push it and the lights are red etc.?

#

if you type in the entity field it will help you search

#

so type... light

abstract moat Apr 12, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

I dont think its under state

glossy prism Apr 12, 2020, 11:50 PM

@novel flint sounds like a job for a script

novel flint Apr 12, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

scripts and templates are super foreign to me... how's to learn?

#

@abstract moat after putting the above .yaml into configuration.yaml did you restart HASS?

abstract moat Apr 12, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

yea I restarted the docker

novel flint Apr 12, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

also if you go under configuration > entities do you see your device?

abstract moat Apr 12, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

no its not there

#

if i click on it in love lase it says This entity does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI.

novel flint Apr 12, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

I've got a bunch of MQTT devices but never have used autodiscovery so Home Assistant does not show them under Configuration > Integrations for me.

#

MQTT is somewhat vague for me... learning as I go. I get the feeling it's the best for many things but until now I've only copied others code and used it.

#

My MQTT devices are the most reliable etc... come back quick after power outs...etc.....

#

you've defined QoS and Optimistic... I've never qualified those

abstract moat Apr 12, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

my problem is there realy isnt a end all guide eather most guides are super involved liek you know what this is or realy high lv and dont explain much

novel flint Apr 12, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

sounds like you're close as the thing is coming on

#

are you looking at the logs?

abstract moat Apr 12, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

to be honist i found a template on teh web and copyed it but changed the topic for my device

novel flint Apr 12, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

did you flash your device or?

abstract moat Apr 12, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

its a REC dimmer

#

using haeasy firmware

#

novel flint Apr 12, 2020, 11:58 PM

#

look under Developer Tools > Logs.... anything there?

if i click the item in lovelace it says This entity does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI.

#

Im kinda wondering if i botched th yamal or somthing

novel flint Apr 13, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

did you flash the firmware or?
yaml is super sensitive to indentation etc.

abstract moat Apr 13, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

does anyone have a dimmer switch that works that i could see the config for

#

the manual entry

#

yea its flashed

novel flint Apr 13, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

I'd take everything out of your yaml but the absolute necessities... then slowly add back.

I know it's frustrating.... I warned you I'm kind of a noob to MQTT though I've been playing the HA for a while.

#

@novel flint a script is basically just the action block of an automation

#

You could write a script that does what you want and run the script using a button in your frontend (which I'm guessing is what you were talking about)

novel flint Apr 13, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

you're correct on that....about the frontend

#

is there a script "sandbox" where we can try them out?

#

found this: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-to-turn-on-wled-via-automation/147187
and this: https://github.com/Snipercaine/WLED-HomeAssistant
so maybe my evening of research is planned

abstract moat Apr 13, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

should i nest devices like lights ina section of som sort or just toss it in the yaml

novel flint Apr 13, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

light:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Holiday Lights"
    command_topic: "LightMCU/power"

#

there should be in there own topic

#

if they are manually configured they should be in the configuration.yaml in their own section.... (I do believe) remember I'm no expert.

#

I assume that the publish and subscribe topics are in the firmware? They same MQTT is a simple protocol but it kind of confuses me.

#

I assume you have the Mosquitte Broker for MQTT...cuz it's kind of working

abstract moat Apr 13, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

I sent you a SC of the config page for the dimmer

#

I got somthing like 15 other smart plugs with power monitoring that autodiscovery picked up but there using tasmota

#

they work fine

#

its these 10 dollar dimmers that im trying make work now

#

Do you have the ip and port of the MQTT server in your configuration.yaml?

#

I know you DMed me but can't get back to that screen.... sorry

abstract moat Apr 13, 2020, 12:33 AM

#

yea

#

mqtt:
broker: 192.168.1.00
port: 1883
discovery: true
discovery_prefix: homeassistant

#

not the real ip

It's a stretch, but anyone know what the valve in this might be and/or where I could order it? https://www.viega.com/en/products/Catalogue/Drainage-technology/Drains-for-bathtubs-and-shower-trays/Motor-controlled-fittings-with-filling-2/Multiplex-Trio-F-drainoverflow-6148-1.html

MQTT for me a a love hate relationship i think 60% hate 40% love

abstract moat Apr 13, 2020, 3:45 AM

Publish a packet

topic
homeassistant/switch/LRDimmer
Payload (template allowed)

127
1
127

#

so when i put that in dev tools mqtt i get full bright and 0 is off

#

any one be willing to help me make a - platform: mqtt entry for this device so i can adjust that value ... Im super noobish and i apolgise for the big ask

#

I have almost no idea of manual entrys and everthing iv tryed from web surffing eather makes my config broke or just flat dont work

#

i did it

Hey guys, I have some dumb window blinds, that have 3 buttons up/down/stop, and end state sensors (it stops the blinds when they are all the way up or down).

Is there a way to make HA control on what percent the blinds are, by measuring the time from pressing a directional button to pressing a stop button etc.

fringe moon Apr 13, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

Esphome can probably do that atleast, if you are thinking about making the buttons smart

#

Not clear if they already are

sand lodge Apr 13, 2020, 12:25 PM

#

The buttons just start the movement in the desired direction, and it stops automatically when it hits either end.

The reason why I would like to make esphome or HA to keep track of the state of the blind, is to use quick settings, like set the blind to 70% or ask for the state with a Google Home. But as I see I should be doing this with esphome.

#

I would like to avoid ultrasonic/laser distance sensors, and contact sensors that has to be attached to the moving part of the blind, and another stripe to the frame if the blind if possible.

hey everyone
I have an Orvibo AllOne Pro device, which is an IR and Zigbee controller
now I'm using their Alexa and Google integration to control my curtains(also Orvibo), and also their Android app called Homemate
is there a way I can control this from Home Assistant if they don't have an integration or an open API?
although I found some orvibo projects on github, they are usually for other devices and none of them are still supported for a few years

lilac cedar Apr 13, 2020, 2:04 PM

Does anyone know of a device that is in a similar form factor to a sonoff basic (Can be put in line in a cable, without having exposed metal) but that is a dimmer, not a relay

fierce finch Apr 13, 2020, 2:43 PM

hi people, i'm using the latest HA version 0.108.3 and Google speaker got recognized automatically , TTS works but in the wrong language 🙂 , does someone knows where to find the TTS configure and define a language, in the past i did this in the configuration.yalm file
