Do any of the tuya/wifi or z-wave plug modules have logic to detect when an attached lamp is manually switched on or off? My old Insteon lamp plugs work this way.
fringe moon
sure, if they measure power that is easily done
plain sable
hmmm... would power change if the plug is off and the downstream lamp is toggled?
winged knoll
Nope
plain sable
thought so
I wonder what these Insteon modules are actually doing
... under the hood.
plain sable
It's pretty handy when someone like my mother wants to turn a lamp on.

she has to toggle the lamp twice but the module sees it an turns itself on

Is there a smart dimmer on the market that has a real/physical slider that functions 'normally'? i hooked up an Inovelli red dimmer and the wife has thoroughly rejected it. Candidly, I'm a bit disappointed too - the hold-to-dim functionality is not intuitive and while I might get used to it nobody else that comes to my house ever will.

I know there's at least one rotary smart dimmer on the market

USA, open to the rest of the categories
it seems like all the smart dimmers have shunned a real slider but I can't believe there is a true limitation to having one on the device.
is that what it's called? a 'rotary' dimmer?

Does anyone have a smartswitch brand that has two switches on one panel? I've got a kasa switch that controls my bar lights but my kitchen and dining room lights are two different switches on the same panel. I thought about putting two single switches next to each other but they wouldn't fit with the panel. I've found some double switches but the brands I'm finding aren't compatible with home assistant.
Also as an aside, if anyone has the same thing but with a 3 panel switch that would be great lol.

My setup is that I have a Samsung WiFi with Smarthing hub integated that most of my devices are connected to. Then I setup Google Home and Alexa to link in as well. The main problem that I'm having is that after I linked HA to Smarthings, within a couple of days all the batteries in my various buttons died (a mix of SmartThings buttons, and Ikea Tradfri button). At first I replaced the batteries, but then a couple of days later they died again, completely drained. Some of these batteries cost $5 each, so I need to figure it out or just stop using HA until I can. Before I linked HA to Smartthings, I had been using the original batteries that came in the buttons for months without issue.
Anyone else seen battery issues or have any ideas for me?
runic drift
not sure how HA could cause batteries to die.
dreamy leaf
To much polling maybe? I just bought some more batteries so I'm planning on replacing them and then turning off my Ras PI that is running HA to see if the batteries only last a few days again with HA off. So far I've gone through 2 sets since I installed HA, but it is completely possible something else is going on, so doing a reverse test should help determine if it's really HA or something else.
I don't have the buttons joined directly to HA, they are joined to smartthings hub, and then smartthings is joined to HA.
A few people on the forums mentioned changing the polling frequency, but since they aren't joined directly to HA, I don't have the properties they mentioned (zwave polling frequency).
I'll post back in a week or so to report if the batteries kept draining or not with HA off. The only automations I have been using in HA so far was telling people that the dishes were clean in the dishwasher through my Google home speaker when someone opened the dishwasher. 🙂 I can live without that for a week. But now that I've been exposed to HA, I do hope to do a lot more with it in the future and I love that it gives me the option of dropping smart things hub in the future.
runic drift
I would guess polling but it sounded like HA only polls the hub, not the devices but maybe that in return causes the hub to poll the devices more frequently 🤷♂️ if you test and determine it is in fact HA causing that you most certainly should post an issue on the github about it

Not really a deal breaker, but as a FYI, the icon is always yellow, even if I change the colour via the remote, that the working one isn't, it changes to follow the bulb
so something is up shit creek without a paddle

I bought a package of 3 magichome bulbs and 2 were the same and the third had a diffrent chip

Hi all, got two Aqara Wireless Mini Switches and trying to add them to my HomeAssistant install on RPi4b. I’ve seen a bunch of posts around the internet about people being able to use these without the Aqara hub, by directly linking via Zigbee, but I haven’t been able to make it fully work. I have a CECOMINOD016164 HUSBZB-1 connected. And I can get the switche’s battery level attached to zigbee/homeassistant, but cannot get it to discover the button itself for pressing. Anybody have any ideas?
The process I’m using for discovering the button is to hold the reset button for 3 seconds to get it into pairing mode, then pressing it every 2 or so seconds to keep it alive while Zigbee discovers it. If I don’t do the press every 2 seconds, Zigbee will not discover it at all

I've just picked up a GE Dehumidifier (ADHB35LZ) and according to the electrical schematic in the manual, there is a connection for a WiFi module. I'm pretty confident that this unit isn't WiFi because they'd be shouting about that all over the marketing material / box.
A quick search on the H-A forums suggests that GE's SmartHQ WiFi system is TLS encrypted MQTT via AWS.
The WiFi module on the schematic appears to be 4 pins. Could that be serial / something else I could interface to with an ESP do you think?
I haven't opened it up yet to have a look
humble lion
4 pin could also be i2c, but without somone with a wifi enabled device for them to listen on the bus, you probabely won't be able to do anything
you will need to figure out both the the protocol/rate and what data they exepect

would anybody know what might cause a lightbulb to display in home assistant as staying on, even after you turn it off via home assistant? So I have a tasmota lightbulb, turn it on, use it, turn it off via home assistant, the slider toggles to off briefly then it returns to the 'on' position, however the light has turned off. Using MQTT, wondering where to start debugging 😄
fringe moon
@azure forum that sounds like you should ask in your install type channel

@earnest shadow reading the mqtt events is a good start 🤣

Light turns off, just HA never updates. Which MQTT message does HA use to update the state of a bulb, the state topic?
tepid heart
Yes the state topic. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light.mqtt/#state_topic

So just got my shiny new Broadlink device but it may not support the rf of my fan ☹️
Is there a simple way to change the frequency of the device (in this case the fan) to be at a level that Broadlink can understand ?
tepid heart
No. There is no simple way to do that.
runic drift
@gilded tide why you think it won't support it?
gilded tide
Found some info online that says my fan uses 303 Mhz but Broadlink only supports 315 & 433
Also the auto sensor for Broadlink won't pick up the signal
runic drift
I had one device that was 309 and it picked it up so even those it states 315 it's not a hard lock. I would keep giving it a try, make sure the remote is very close to the broadlink

Hi Everyone ... setting up my new house to be all automated with HA!! Now that I own, I'm really excited to things THE RIGHT WAY. I've read a lot of older threads on outdoor/weatherproof keypads, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of an outdoor or weatherproof keypad that I can use on my side gates. I want it to be linked to HA where I can control users and codes via HA, and where each keypad uses the same code. Thanks in advance!
Quick follow up, I am thinking that I might want to use it for my security alarm as well, so that's why a centralized user database is critical.
winged knoll
Maybe you want to look instead at a smart lock you can integrate with HA?
Let that do the "security magic"
drifting grove
I have a number of smart locks. The reason for looking at the approach I have is because my side gates are latched gates. I have temporarily used a keypad+electromagnetic lock. It works, but each gate has it's own local security, so not centralized, and I cannot log entry.
As HA becomes more pervasive, I think there might be a need for this, especially for larger homes, or farms. For me, I have a modest home, but I do have a wooden side gate, and I am installing this to let FedEx, Amazon, UPS, etc. to drop packages in my side yard.
runic drift
@drifting grove if you are able to remotely control the gate locks now then look up RF keypads. pricey but that you can get integrated into HA using an RF receiver of some type
drifting grove
Thanks @runic drift. I am thinking that I might need to take the DIY route. Everything else is just too darn expensive. I am confident that a combo of ESP8266, a simple keypad from China might be able to do the trick. I was hoping I didn't need to create it! 😄

be cheaper to diy an outdoor enclosure for a cheaper rf keypad that isn't meant for outdoors

You generally don’t. Only some devices can be deleted on their own, others are managed through their integrations

Hey, all. I have an annoying issue. When I go to rename a device, it says, "Entity is already registered". I USED to have an entity named this, but no longer, and when I am on the Entities screen where I want to rename it and do a search, there is NOT in fact an entity currently named the one I'd like to use. Where can I find the source of this conflict? I've already restarted home assistant once since trying to do this. Thanks.
gloomy spoke
@smoky moth As a "receiver", probably not. It's intended to emulate a keyboard and is controlled by IR commands, rather than sending IR commands.
smoky moth
So what should I use in combination with an RPi to control my fan?
gloomy spoke
I don't use one myself, but I hear that Broadlink (Tediore's suggestion) works for many folks
smoky moth
I know, I just like to find something that works in combination with an RPi instead of a stand alone thing
pale mantle
@lucid vapor if you put your august lock in a card, you can click it (toggle) to lock/unlock it.
You can also write automations to do the same based on triggers.
gloomy spoke
I would expect that most folks have their HA install somewhere in a dark corner and would be happy to put the IR transmitter in a more favorable location, but I don't have a need for such a device. Perhaps someone else has a better solution

Hi everyone. Has anyone got Tado TRV's in Home Assistant?
I am have been looking at the Tado V3+, I saw they have a subscription system for the advanced functions.
The question I have that I can't figure out if I can set the away/at home mode thru HA without their subscription.
I don't mind the servers of them, but the subscription. If I require the homekit integration I don't mind as I have a few devices already.

Hello, I'm quite new to HA and trying to link my Xiaomi Mijia Smart Switch buttons. But am at a loss where to start. All the instructions that came with it are in Chinese! ANyone else have these? Maybe there is an app i need to install, or can I link them directly to my HA install?
glossy prism
You need a #zigbee-archived stick

Ok thanks, reading up on Zigbee now.
It looks like a zigbee stick works by plugging into USB (presumably a Raspi) and works by packet sniffing. However, I have HA installed via Docker on a Synology, so this may be an issue?
graceful spindle
idk if this is where i need to be but I need help. My S.O. was having issues with her mac dropping wifi so I split my router into two bands instead of the smart connect where it does both at once. When that happened my Geekbes smart sockets stopped working (connected using Tuya Smart). I realized i could do mac address filtering to ban her mac from using the 5ghz and force it to 2.4. so I combined the wifi channels back and brought it back to exactly how it was this morning. The smart switches still won't activate, I can't see them in Tuya Smart, I tried deleting the existing ones and I cannot see or add the devices back. Is there something I am missing or something else to try?
crisp mauve
Not too sure but it sounds like the Tuya devices should also have a more straightforward time connecting with the two bands separated too. Have you tried running the Tuya app and re-pairing with the phone disconnected from the 5ghz network entirely?
small furnace
Hi FrostPhoenix - is the 2.4 SSID exactly the same as it was when it was working pre-split?
graceful spindle
Yes, i have tried both variations, changing the 2.4 and changing the 5, as well as renaming both
small furnace
The Tuya devices wont even see the 5ghz SSIDs. I'd double check the 2.4 is exactly the same and turn off/back on the plugs. It's been a while since I've used stock Tuya devices, but they might go into some kind of AP mode if they cant connect after some time

Been setting up room-assistant bluetooth tracking lately. It's doing a great job overall, but I'm having some trouble with the bt on a Fossil Wear OS watch; It broadcasts/is detect by room-assistant just fine with either my phone's bt off, or disconnecting the phone and watch form the WearOS app. However, if it's paired with the phone via bt, the watch seems to stop broadcasting; it no longer appears in the room-assistant mqtt updates. Running bluetoothctl directly on the ha/ra host shows the same thing; bt from the watch drops off when it's connected to the phone.
I'm not sure if this is specific to Wear-OS, my particular watch, or if there's any kind of app/setting that I could overcome this limitation with? The watch is kinda useless if it's not paired with my phone.
graceful spindle
omg i am so stupid. my mac filtering was only allowing her mac, so it stopped all communication with the switches.
crisp mauve
We ❤️ an easy fix!

i allowed her mac on the 2.4 and rejected the 5.0, only need to reject

would it be possible to create something with ESP32 that will connect to my phone via bluetooth and somehow communicate with HomeAssistant for example via homeassistant app? I thought about placing and small esp with 2 buttons to open my garage doors. Do you think that might work?
runic drift
@fresh thicket anything is technically possible but if I am understanding your logic here, you would have the esp32 connected to your garage door and use your phone as the gateway for the BT to relay information back to HA of status and control of the garage door? Not sure what apps are out there for android/ios that can handle that kind data management and it would be way easier to achieve the same goal through other means, not to mention more stable and something that would continue to work when your phone is out of range
fresh thicket
No no, i have garage door opener with WiFi and it's connected to home assistant. I'd like to have esp in CAR which is connected to phone in my pocket. I would add 2 buttons to my dashboard so I can open my garage without taking phone out of pocket waiting for app to load and all that stuff

You'd have to check with #android-archived if the app supports that

@winged knoll I simply want a workable knob on home assistant for my rm mini 3 using codes (without broadlink integration)
winged knoll

fringe moon
Then you need to make a generic climate thing first
Which is a hella lot easier with SMARTIR if you you just plug in the codes there
winged knoll
You have to split the logic in your head - there's the how does HA control thing and how does this look in the UI
Solve the first, then you can solve the second
fringe moon
do you have the codes you are using now that work @tulip kraken ?
If you have all of these codes https://github.com/smartHomeHub/SmartIR/blob/master/codes/climate/1025.json I can assist you in creating a github pull request to get it supported with smartIR
which will make your life easier
Heck we can create the file locally first and test it probably 🤣

How does one remove a device from HA
glossy prism
@graceful star what??
lucid vapor
August lock.. want to remove it from Home Assistant
I have 2 and need to remove one of them so HA doesnt see it
so how does one remove a device from HA?
runic drift
@lucid vapor just disable the entity
lucid vapor
the challenge is HA identification of 2 august locks doesnt enable me to distinguish between them...
So if something isnt working I cant tell if I have done something wrong, or am tweaking the lock in the other house
hence the desire to remove from HA
runic drift
I would suggest naming them either through the same way you added them or through customizations once you figure out which is which
lucid vapor
They were auto detected by August integration so do not seem to have control over what its pulling from integration
One would expect to be able to select which devices one wants to add vs having none
runic drift
configuration > integrations > click on the entities link under the august integration. will list everything added
as for figuring out which is which just mess with the one you have closest to you and see which state changes
lucid vapor
sorry, 1st day with HA.... I have performed the August app reset to factory which is supposed to remove it from my acccount (but HA doesnt seem to pick that up, even though I deleted the integration and then readded it)
it would seem that HA scans the network for devices as well (evidence is found one of my samsung TVs?
runic drift
yea after you see the list of entities for the integration you just select the ones you wanbt and disable them
lucid vapor
So if I try to run a service (lock.lock) to an august lock, will HA try to connect directly to lock or will it proxy thru August back to the lock?

One of my Schlage BE469 zwave locks is going through batteries like crazy. This last set lasted barely a week. Could constant reboots of the home assistant be triggering it? We use the lock probably 3-4 times a day. The lock advertises 6-12mo battery life.

you can adjust it in /boot/config.txt on any other distro

Hey team, when I connect an ESP32 to Home Assistant through a wifi extender, all the entities connected to the ESP32 become unavailable. I can see they are still there in the ESP32 logs, but Home Assistant doesn't receive any of the data from them. Anyone know why, or a workaround?
winged knoll
Sounds like it's not really connected to your WiFi then
lilac urchin
@green oyster - Wifi extenders are the worst.
If you and the ESP is on the same extender, it might work.
But HA has an IP that might change when you are on your extenders network, so the entities will become unavailable if the ESP changes IP.
green oyster
I tried setting a static IP for the ESP, but it wouldn't work for some reason. I feel it might be getting a different IP
lilac urchin
It is if you are using a bad wifi extender, scrap it and it will work.
green oyster
I use a TP link. I have smart switches connected to it and they work
lilac urchin
Get a copper connected accesspoint if you want to "extend" your wifi range... But that's another story and probably belongs in #general-archived or #the-water-cooler
green oyster
It's jsut the entities on the ESP go unavailable. The ESP itself stays connected to Home assistant
lilac urchin
YEah, you need to make sure that MDNS and stuff works too...
Are you using ESPhome ?
green oyster
Yep
Yea it gets a new IP when it connects to the extender
I have set a static IP in the router, but it still assigns a new one. When I set a static IP on the ESP, it throws an error...
lilac urchin
Yes, it's your wifi extender... Throw it in the bin and get another new cabled access point.
green oyster
Can you change to IP address of entities in Home Assistant? I have connected the ESP32 back to the normal wifi with a static IP, and now it's still showing the entities as unavailable
smoky moth
Heey, does anyone know if there's a cheap alternative to Logitech Harmony pro 2400 that has an ethernet port? For a while now, I've been searching for a way to control my IR remote controlled ceiling fan.

So when I set a static IP on the ESP, all the devices become unavailable.

looking for two smart switches, can be wifi/zigbee/zwave, but need no neutral and don't need a dimmer. I'm wanting to use one for a fixture that has four bulbs in it, and one for a florescent fixture.

modest bramble
I've gotten some 3rd party zigbee lights that work with the Hue hub and show up like normal bulbs. The only issue is that whatever their antenna design is I think is crap. They maybe 1 out 4 tries don't respond to a state change update, all of the Philips brand ones respond just fine. Are there any tricks with HA to retry a state change until the status confirms the correct new state?
gloomy sequoia
@lilac urchin if I have no neutral at the switch, I'd need to install a shelly at the fixture then? which shelly would be best for this?
gentle fossil
@modest bramble if they behave the same way in the hue app you may be out of luck because they either don't follow the complete zigbee spec or your hue bulbs just don't relay messages to them in a fashion they like.
one solution could be to run them from a zigbee stick, the hub does not offer users changes to the mesh

I have a ton of other zigbee devices integrated via deconz, and the bulb paired immediately to the gateway, and shows up in HA after a restart...but the light will not come on. I've put it in a few different lamps, no luck. Is the default "off" and HA isn't actually switching it, or do I maybe have a bad bulb?

Hey everyone! I posted this in integrations, but now I'm wondering if this is a better place for it.
I'm looking for a new door lock and having trouble finding what I'm looking for. I want to replace my Yale x Nest lock with something that will integrate with HA over wifi and not Z-wave or zigbee. I was thinking the Schlage Sense with the wifi adapter since the Sense has homekit capabilities. Will that work over wifi?
I'm mostly looking for something with local control, so if my internet goes down, I can still operate the lock over my local network. I also don't have ANY z-wave or zigbee devices and I don't want it to talk out of my house.
Any suggestions? Will my idea of the Sense with Wifi adapter work?

smoky moth
As I'll be adding other devices, it cant take in to many pins
runic drift
@smoky moth you would probably be better off with something like the Broadlink RM series
smoky moth
Yeah, but I dont see the need for another stand alone device as I already use a Pi for HA. I'm more thinking about a HAT or USB kinda thing
runic drift
like i said, I never seen a prebuilt hat for the rpi. as for usb, you could use an sdr but to do both receive and transmit would make it pricey
winged knoll
Yeah, Google shows a bunch of results for Raspberry Pi IR Blaster, all of which are DIY
smoky moth
What about 2 USBs? 1 that transmits and the other that receives?@runic drift
runic drift
would probably be the same price as a single srd that had two controllers lol
smoky moth
Could I use a Flirc usb
runic drift
wait, you want just IR? most cieling fans are RF
not sure any are IR to my knowledge
smoky moth
Than I'm probably mistaken with that
runic drift
yea the flirc is IR
if you need both, again the Broadlink RM series would be your best bet, way cheaper lol
smoky moth
Is there a cheap thing like this but with an ethernet port? That's actually the reason I mentioned a HAT for a Pi as a Pi has a NIC
runic drift
not sure, there might be some Chinese gadget that may but thats a whole diffrent rabbit hole
you should find out what you need exactly and what you plan to need down the road with the cinema part. cause if all you need is RF 433Mhz and nothing else, then building a hat for the rpi will be cheap but if you may need RF in both 315 and 433MHz and need both a reciever and transmiter for both plus an IR reciever and blaster.. things add up
individually parts like that are super cheap but then when you calculate in shipping and the other additional things you may need to construct the hat.. quickly buying something like the broadlink is cheaper in the long run
smoky moth
I see
One other thing. How good is the full size HDMI sound output if any SBC? Should I use a soundcard HAT or is the HDMI port good enough to get good quality sound on a high-end amplifier?
The reason I ask is if you recommend the HAT, there's a chance an RF kinda thing won't fit in combination with it, right?

@smoky moth can I ask why you're so opposed to getting a broadlink or something similar? I'm not really understanding why it's a problem that it's a standalone device. Plus what happens when you eventually upgrade from the pi to something more powerful (and trust me, you're probably going to want to at some point)?
Plus one of the ideas behind home assistant is to be able to integrate a pretty wide variety of devices

@glossy prism all devices are connected wirelessly to the network. I can actually tell on how well I slept if I have Wireless devices in my bedroom. That's why I usually turn my phone in airplanes mode when I go to bed.
I'm not supposed to of the shelf products, I'm just opposed to wireless or expensive devices. The only suitable thing I found was a Logitech Harmony pro hub that has an ethernet port in it. But that's quite an expensive thing.
Someone asked a while ago if timeclocks could work so that the devices are off when I go to bed. Only I can't set those times as I don't go to bed everyday at the same time.

I'm having a lot of wifi connection issues with my tasmota devices. They seem to loose connection after 5 minutes or longer randomly and then suddenly reappear. It doesn't seem to matter what type of the device it is. I have some D1 Minis and D1 mini Pros as well as a Arlec tuya power boards all with the same issues. However then there are some without any connection issues at all as well. I've been "dumbing" down the settings on my 2.5G wifi as I thought that they seemed to work better with options like WMM turned off and the wireless mode set to 20Mhz. Are there any settings I should ensure are enabled? ... I'm trying to work out how to upload a screen grab of the settings now with out much luck... 😦.. I dont know how to work out what the issue is. I hope some one may have a suggestion on what I should look for?

@crimson crane how many devices do you have on your wifi network? ..what are you using for wifi? how many access points do you have?
crimson crane
on wifi there are about 15 to 20 devices. I try to keep only "portable" devices on the wifi that I can't plug in. I have a separate IOT AP (B/G 2.4Ghz) and a ASUS RT-AC68U running ASUSwrt Merlin. There is also a repeater (dual band). I've tried to spread the device across APs.. so I dont think its a capacity issue. It looks to me like the router is dropping connections or the devices are going to sleep.

The ethernet network is rock solid.. its only and issue with wifi devices. that are connected to the IOT AP and the ASUS AP.

@crimson crane I lost faith in most if not all of the otc routers. the hardware if fine. its the crappy software. at least you are running WRT. that helps a lot. when you say you have a separate IOT AP.. is that a actual dedicated Access Point or just another SSID?
also keep in mind that repeaters cut your throughput by at least half. so the amount of devices is also affected.
crimson crane
its a dedicated access point a TP Link
split linden
if you bounce the ASUS and TP link does it work better for awhile?

Just curious. If the tplink is dedicated to iot devices, if you switch them to another ap/router, does the problem disappear ?

well I believe sonoff is also controllable locally but I have none, pretty much anything with #zwave-archived or #zigbee-archived is not talking over the internet for sure if you avoid the hubs.

currently I run home assistant in a Lenovo m93p tiny with i5-4590t which is more than enough for me. But this is a 4 core CPU. NUC i3-8109U has similar multicore performance and better single core performance, but is only a dual core CPU...
I don't think I'm ever going to run Plex on a NUC as there will not be enough hdd/sdd for the media library, but some addons I run with HA just for the easiness and simplicity, like node-red, bitwarden, grafana, influxdb, mosquitto, esphome etc...

i have a m92p with a i7-3770T in it, this is overkill though and I just use it for my homelab;
a raspberry pi4 is enough for me with 4 cameras

for basic HA stuff and not using anything in conjunction with it that would utilize the extra cores then you don't need them. nothing hurts to plan ahead etc etc but at the same time you don't need to over spend on it

and I have a separate homeserver that runs multiple virtual machines and all resource intensive tasks. I could run HA on it as well, but just want to keep HA in it's own separate box to have it up'n'running 24/7... With the server there are more "service breaks" when i'm fiddling around with it.
gentle fossil
that's why I have the pi

That's exactly what I'm wondering about. The cost of the i5 vs i3 is just ~60euros. With i5 i guess there would be a longer lifespan, but wondering would the i3 still be enough for basic HA+addons usage in 5 years or so.
runic drift
@viral pawn in that situation then go for the i5, better future proofing
viral pawn
and according to reviews with the i5 comes bigger power consumption as well. At idle 4.3watts vs 5.6watts... That's nothing in cost, but a test with 4k HEVC video the difference is 14.4watts vs 23.2watts. And if the differences with a moderate cpu load will be in those amounts that could already mean a few bucks in a year.

pretty much any switch I believe, what do you have in mind?

Hello just a question about (hassos) on raspberry pi, Its about the new media browers thats been added, Is there anyway to change the media source from the local media folder to a usb drive instead?
winged knoll
See previous conversation 😉
#330990055533576204 can help you with mounting that drive
stone badge
thanks but all i got was an answer with the word mount
winged knoll
Well, then you asked when folks that know weren't around
That doesn't change it being the right place to ask 😉

cheers will do 👍

Do the Argus 2 cameras work with HomeAssistant like the other Reolink POE cameras?

Does anyone know a bidirectional HDMI 1 to 2 switch with remote?

Not sure about Hue, but any of the #zigbee-archived integrations will support it

Will ask there, thanks!

They may not know about Hue 😉

To much polling maybe? I just bought some more batteries so I'm planning on replacing them and then turning off my Ras PI that is running HA to see if the batteries only last a few days again with HA off. So far I've gone through 2 sets since I installed HA, but it is completely possible something else is going on, so doing a reverse test should help determine if it's really HA or something else.
@dreamy leaf I said I'd post back, and I do have an update. Apparently my smartthings button battery dying was just a coincidence and my first replacement battery must have been a dud that didn't last long. The problem seems to be related to the Ikea buttons or smartthings working with them and NOT anything Home Assistant introduced. I have kept my Home Assistant off for the last week and I have already had my Ikea buttons batteries die and my SmartThings button is fine. I think I might get a Nortek Go Control and add the Ikea directly to HA and see if I can rule out the issue being smartthings or just the buttons themselves.

Afternoon everyone. Anyone have a wifi thermostat that doesn't require cloud connection that works with HA they can suggest? I'm gona dump my ct100 zwave

Has anyone recently been having issues with tasmota bulbs flapping between unavailable and on?
actually, im seeing lots of "online" "offline" messages in the mqtt tele/# topic
zealous dune
its losing its mqtt or wifi connection
terse ice
unifi says otherwise, and zigbee2mqtt doesn't suffer the same problem
its on the order of every 10-15 seconds
if it lost wifi, it wouldn't be able to send a LWT, would it?
zealous dune
LWT Offline message is not sent by the device itself
check your mqtt broker logs if its not losing wifi connection

hmmm Socket error on client DVES_C88E9A, disconnecting.
at least thats what the docker logs are reporting
well lets get the newest version then and see if that fixes anything

Any suggestions on a solid AVR that integrates nicely into HA without too much headache or additional appliances to make it "smart"
snow pelican
hello, I have a server which control my 433mhz devices. But I want to control them with HA so I create a python script. It works when I test it on putty :
check```
But when I integrate it in HA it doesn't work :
switch:
- platform: command_line
switches:
computer:
command_on: "python3 /home/ubuntu/433mhz.py computer On"
command_off: "python3 /home/ubuntu/433mhz.py computer Off"```
do you have any idea ?
(I use HA supervised)
gentle fossil
your /home is not the same in the HA container I suppose
you can place 433mhz.py in /config for HA to execute it

I'm adding sensors from a MQTT, and I notice that the entity "id" (as i call it) is taken from the name. Is there any way of defining that in other way. I have tried with unique_id but it don't seems to help.
Entity "name" TV Memory use
The entity "id" will then be: "sensor.tv_memory_use" is there any way to manually set this "id"

That'd be #integrations-archived - and generally speaking, no

hey all, is it possible to remove some data from database to clean an installation?

does anybody have a Raspberry Pi Display as a Dashboard which is able to auto dimm? through MQTT?

hey all, is it possible to remove some data from database to clean an installation?
@rough thicket Short answer - yes - but if you have to ask that question then you should probably do a re-install sorry!
to be less glib - if you just need to change some values, that should be easy - if you need to rollback a change you made, you will need to hit a lot of tables and there is a high chance of missing one
glossy prism
A reinstall? Or just delete the database...

Hi All, When using mqtt sensors with multiple entities and multiple values in the same SENSOR message (can be missing values or just list of entities) as in Ble Tasmota bridges. How do you parse the messages? Do you use extended attributes? How do you avoid entities becoming 'unknown' when a message is received without values? I feel I'm missing some insight which is making it hard to get my environment working nicely.

Hi. Does have wi-fi doorbell with chime+flash. I don't need camera. Just button then show me notification on my phone or chime+flash
I am deaf but I have smart watch with vibration from notification on my mobile.
winged knoll
There's a bunch of options for making a doorbell smart
https://www.fireflyelectronix.com/products/wifi-doorbell-sensor for instance, but there's a stack of DIY ones
Hook that up, connect it to HA, and then you can have whatever notifications you want
sonic venture
Oh, so much stuff need to buy: doorbell sensor, chime, wires, buttons.
I thought available wifi chime
winged knoll
If you don't have a doorbell...
Well, a WiFi chime is likely to be hard to hook into HA
sonic venture
i am using old one https://www.amazon.co.uk/SIMBR-Doorbell-wireless-Waterproof-electric/dp/B01J9IG4HG and I hate to change battery every months
winged knoll
Wired doorbell can be powered by a transformer (that's how mine is powered)
sonic venture
4-5 chime boxes to change battery
winged knoll
Mains powered chime, no more batteries other than in the device that sends the message to HA 😉
Even then, if this is a fresh install another transformer/voltage converter and you can ditch those batteries too
sonic venture
I don't want to make hole wall for making doorbell and so much wires for 4 chimes.
never mind, thanks for advice
