Hi, do you know of any cheap Android tablet with OLED screen? I want to use it for a dashboard
sweet pond
Huawei is pretty cheap nowadays :p
undone moon
which smart lock is good choice?
modest bramble
@undone moon I use a Schlage Zwave deadbolt, that talks to a VeraPlus, which is integrated into HA. It works well enough.
undone moon
and something thats not on Z-Wave?
modest bramble
I've used August before, but never with HA, I've heard this some sort of integration now?
Their ability to connect via Bluetooth to Android has gotten better of the years. I hear it's pretty flawless with iOS.
undone moon
oh..cool
well I really dont know..this is the last thing that I will "automate" it
maybe there are some new products / companies in uprising
🙂
modest bramble
Maybe. :)
There should be a list of all the locks that integrate with HA on the website somewhere.
The biggest pitfalls to look out for are, do you need to interact with a 3rd party website to talk to the lock, or can you access the lock's API locally, can you keep your current key or do you need to replace the whole lock, what does access the lock with your phone look like if HA gets confused.
modest bramble
I don't. :D
Physically breaking a lock/door is easier than hacking code for any of these locks.
They're all still home/consumer level security.

Hi, do you know of any cheap Android tablet with OLED screen? I want to use it for a dashboard
@heavy obsidian bad idea to use oled screens for static content like a dashboard

@heavy obsidian bad idea to use oled screens for static content like a dashboard
@past canyon No really, most of the time it would be at lowest brightness
past canyon
Lowest brightness definitely helps but I'd still be wary if the screen stays on 24/7. Why are you planning to use an OLED screen?

idk, i just like OLEDs 😛

hi, I'm trying to figure out how to call a protected member function from a sensor class. Specifically, I'd like to call "set_thermocouple_type_" from https://esphome.io/api/classesphome_1_1max31856_1_1_m_a_x31856_sensor.html

i have a dual integration for Ecobee now. Official, + HKC. For devices i don't want to use through EcoBee, is my only option disabling the entities for a sensor, for example? Is there a way to ignore the whole device?
gloomy spoke
You can only disable entities
But it’s easy enough to go to filter entities based on device
twilit relic
well the device names are all the same. i was hoping to just delete the versions i don't want to use
gloomy spoke
You can go to 
> Integrations, click the ‘xx Entities’ link, select all, hit Disable Selected
That’s the best you’ll get
twilit relic
ok. fair enough
plus if i deleted them from the device registry, they'd come right back

Anyone uses a BT receiver/transmitter that work with Ubuntu?

umbral nacelle
ZWave/Zigbee/Bluetooth/Embedded/Wifi or something else? I want to start investing in additional sensors around the house and would like to understand if one is better than the other. I am mainly pondering between ZWave and Zigbee. I already have KNX but expanding that "for silly little things" gets expensive quick
winged knoll
Better is personal, but #zigbee-archived and #zwave-archived over WiFi, Bluetooth, or anything else like that
umbral nacelle
My understanding is ZWave is proprietary?
winged knoll
It's a standard, yes, but relatively open
umbral nacelle
ok so neither Z* is superior in that sense
winged knoll
Well, Z-Wave is a full standard, stuff is interoperable
Zigbee pre 3.0 isn't a full standard, and even 3.0 has holes, but it's pretty solid
umbral nacelle
Let me ask this the other way around, is there a single sensor that would do room presense/occupancy, air quality, temperature, humidity, light level etc?
single device containing multiple sensors, ofcourse. But in a nice tidy package?
umbral nacelle
Thats my google-fu results too more or less. No help there for choosing a protocol
winged knoll
Personally, Z-Wave if you have the money, and Zigbee if you don't
Or Zigbee if you don't want to spend the money 😉
umbral nacelle
Zigbee sounds like my choice then 😉
winged knoll
I have both, Z-Wave stuff is more configurable and "just works". Zigbee is a fraction of the cost and works well enough
umbral nacelle
Any examples of "more configurable" ?
my gut says zigbee is more about sensors and zwave more "actuators"
ofcourse nothing prevents me from choosing one now and expanding to the others later
winged knoll
My Z-Wave multi-sensor I can change how often it reports, tweak the sensitivity, and even correct the temperature it reports
Zigbee ones, you get what you get... that's it
umbral nacelle
ah ok, that sort of stuff
Thanks alot @winged knoll
Last questions just to double check my understanding.
- What kind of zigbee gateway/hub do I need? I see vendors with multiple gateway/hub devices and that confuses me. Can I just get some sort of zigbee USB plug for Home Assistant and let HA be the gateway with brains?
- I cannot use a Philips Hue gateway (for other zigbee devices) because it is not fully zigbee certified/compatible, right?
winged knoll
- Yes, see the #zigbee-archived channel and pinned messages
- You can, but not with any old Zigbee device
umbral nacelle
Oh I missed that channel! Superb
Ok I will read up on how to use the Hue since I already have that somewhere in a cupboard
trim wind
I have some Z-Wave sensors and I wish there were more market demand for them. They can be a little fiddly to set up but once they are working they are so fast and so rock-solid dependable.
and yes they can be a bit $$$

Hello! Does anyone have philips android TV? Mine goes into very deep sleep when power button pressed. I'd like to turn it on by the ADB integration. I've tried with wakelock but no luck.
slender saddle
has anyone used the HS110 from TP-Link before? I'm curious as to what information it provides to hass
try reloading the integration
Configuration > Integrations > The 3 dots in the bottom corner of the Wemo card > Reload
if that doesn't work i just remove the integration and re-add it manually, but I don't think that is the best way to do it
not the whole HASS instance
just the integration itself. When you click the 3 dots, click Delete instead
ahh, well I don't know unfortunatly - I don't have any wemo stuff
glossy prism
I wouldn't rely on discovery unless forced to (like Google cast) @pliant wind. Try manually configuring them: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/wemo/#configuration
Assign DHCP reservations for them if you go that route
I don't know, maybe they have an AP mode? Why is that an issue though, it sounded like they're already connected
Oh you can't even connect it to your network at all? I thought you were having trouble getting it into home assistant
Well that changes things. That wasn't clear from your original message
No clue then, check for troubleshooting steps on Belkin's website
Factory reset the plug if you haven't already
Btw the advice earlier was because they thought you were talking about the integration
If you specified you were talking about getting it connected to your network that would not have been the advice given

Would it be possible to pull a battery level from Gadgetbridge on Android? It'd be nice to see the battery of my Mi Band from my dashboard. I think you can use Tasker/Automate to send an MQTT packet but that's far out of my skill level

Anyone considered rechargable CR2032 Batteries?
Have heaps of zigbee devices
Maybe better for environment?
runic drift
would depend on how long the device lasted as is. you got to figure a 10-15% loss in capacity on rechargeable batteries every year. if your device can go 2 years before needing a replacement then time works against you to the point you would be swapping batteries more frequently and still feeling like you need to get new ones too soon
winged knoll
Also battery life reporting is based on the discharge profile, which varies by battery chemistry

@terse ice smart plug with energy monitoring. Tp-link offers one that works locally with home assistant, otherwise you could get one that you can flash tasmota on (but I know you said you don't want DIY)

Hello everyone. I am building a new house and looking to do a smart home setup. In the past, I have had extensive Smartthings setups, but with the absolute #@&%# show of a migration to their v3 app, I am looking to do Home Assistant instead. I do have a question regarding Lutron Caseta integration.
I’m installing two wall sconces on swing arms next to my bed. My bed has wings on the side of it so it makes it really difficult to reach around to press any kind of buttons to turn on and off the wall sconces. My plan was to put some Z-wave dimmers on each side of the bed that controls one wall sconce each. Then I wanted to find some kind of battery operated Z-Wave remote that I can stick to the side of the nightstand. Instead, I am thinking of doing a Lutron Caseta setup in order to do the following:
- either remote can turn on or off either of the wall sconces.
- each remote can dim the wall sconce on their side. Can dim both wall sconces with the same remote.
I think the question becomes, can a Lutron Caseta pico remote have different actions using HA if doing a quick press vs a long press?
white plinth
Note: I have done some searching and I see this https://community.home-assistant.io/t/unexpected-lutron-pico-remote-behaviour-with-lutron-caseta-pro-component/112087 along with the button maps https://github.com/upsert/lutron-caseta-pro/blob/master/button_map.. It looks like it is possible to cycle between different lights using the favorite button which would work. I would prefer press and hold buttons to act differently. I havent been able to find anything that states if that is possible.
winged knoll
If it sends Z-Wave scenes (either Scene or Central Scene) then yes
That's exactly how https://www.home-assistant.io/cookbook/dim_and_brighten_lights/ works
white plinth
It is not zwave. Its their own protocol I believe. But, someone wrote a python script to implement long press: https://github.com/upsert/lutron-caseta-pro/issues/25
faint wave
so am i correct, that nobody wants to deal with the "Error during Bluetooth LE scan: No BLE adapter found" issue?
From history searching i've found it being asked in many channels but nobody dears to touch it :D
thread in community forum ends up in various things working for some time for different people.. but no definite solution
faint wave
found the solution, 6 day ago posted, needs system update to version 4.15 or revert to 4.13, broken on 4.14
not sure when the update came, but now saw it being offered and finally ble stuff works again

Hey guys I am looking to buy a few led strips and was wondering if anyone has a good recomandation. I mainly used Philips hue for the rest of the lights but I find their led stripes too expensive. If you can recomand some please let me know
fringe moon
What is the use case? Ws2811/12/15 is popular
faint wave
oh wow.. now BLE tracker works so well, that it has gathered information about 68 devices over night, I definitely dont have so many in my house..
faint wave
i think this has something to do with iphone or something generating random ble mac adresses
faint wave
that would defeat the purpose of being random, woudlnt it 🙂
fringe moon
No idea how they do it, but pretty sure they have to stay within their defined address range
Anything else would be chaos
gentle fossil
i think this is the result of the new exposure notification API, sends out every 15 minutes with a new beacon identifier. your android devices might not be up to date yet
faint wave
wait, how does that work then, and how it relates to android devices? something reports new mac ble to my hass install, new api somehow bounces them off of some out of date android device?
gentle fossil
it's only public since may, android devices need to update to latest to get this, apple has it already since 13.5 I believe
winged knoll
Android 8.0 onwards - at least on stock - should do that for BT and WiFi
faint wave
hmm.. im stil lconfused, how is this related to homeassistant OS ble tracker seeing new devices and why would updating android devices in house fix it for homeassistant tracker?
winged knoll
Any modern device will broadcast a semi-random MAC when "scanning"
That's how BLE works
gentle fossil
while random mac is nothing new (see Tinkerer) with this api activated your device actively sends out random identifiers
winged knoll
Just use monitor 😉
bright jacinthBOT
faint wave
how does this relate to HA tracker picking up BLE tracker but it didnt before, and how updating android device would fix that for HA ble tracker?
ow..
winged knoll
The BLE tracker just picks up anything
faint wave
cant use built in anymore?
faint wave
then it has nothing to do with updating androids
well sir, half a year ago i did not, i saw 5 devices and thats it, for weeks
winged knoll
Well, yes but no - that's simply just a change in behaviour of the devices
Doesn't change that passive BT scanners are noisy as hell
faint wave
so it doesnt relate to updating androids
winged knoll
Yes
faint wave
but the exposure ap
faint wave
point was, that mstone left an impression before, that updating android devices might fix/change that
thats where confusion came from
winged knoll
Well, yes, he said it changes it - but for the noisier 😉
faint wave
i think this is the result of the new exposure notification API, sends out every 15 minutes with a new beacon identifier. your android devices might not be up to date yet
He said this after i complained about mass of ble devices, advising making it worse? 😄 okay
gentle fossil
i replied this as a response to the report of your findings this might come from your iphones
faint wave
in that case there really could be a pattern, do we know there to be one? for filtering out
gentle fossil
my toothbrush with ble sends up to 100m, my neighbors in a radius of 100m can sniff when, how intense, at what speed, at which position, how long and the pressure I currently brush my teeth. oh and the battery state too.
just use what tinkerer suggested, you won't get the noise out
faint wave
people live in differnt environments, i had five devices two years ago with active tracker too 🙂 but okay, no filter it is then
gentle fossil
so you live in a faraday cage now? 😉
faint wave
and wtf tootbrush are you using, why does it record imu data and so on?
gentle fossil
oral B
faint wave
pretty much yeah, its a concrete house with much metal in it, and my own house so i dont have neighbours too close, 100m to next house
what have you learned from all that oral motion data? 😄
fringe moon
Heck, many ZigBee and WiFi devices have ble now for pairing, and all my music stuff, and small devices, I would probably pick up 100+ unique devices just in my own house
Heck, I've played with guitar pedals with ble
fringe moon
In a house with 3 people, with a lot of smart infrastructure and a normal amount of tech stuff? Not really
Just my office im sitting in now....6 devices I would reckon, and the upstairs living room just outside my office probably 5, then move on to my wife's office 6 more probably
Counting all Bluetooth devices
So just one floor would be, 17 devices, and that is not where most of my tech stuff is
faint wave
my biggest contributor will arrive in few weeks, 12 xiaomi ble temp sensors
fringe moon
BLE temp, really
I looked at some, but there was too much hassle compared to just using zigbee
fringe moon
3 for $7 ?
gentle fossil
my hue motion sensors report temp since 4 years, just recently changed batteries
faint wave
sorry, two, it also doubles as display in room and humidify sensor
fringe moon
Some of my xiaomi ones are 2 years now, I've replaced two batteries so far in 25+ devices
The display factor is nifty @faint wave
faint wave
yeah thats why i disregarded zigbees, people like to glance for temperature in room
fringe moon
Yeah, we don't care much except for one display which shows outdoors \ indoors temperatures in the living room, all other rooms are stored in HA and influx
but I'm replacing that (which is a 433 devices) with a DIY ESP8266\32 with a e-ink display, and self printed case
when I have time
faint wave
you are replacing sensors for diy esp sensors with display etc and dared to say "BLE temp, really" to my little ones? oh boy.. talk about hassle 😛
fringe moon
Hassle ? 2 minutes in esphome, 2 hour print and 4 minute wiring and sealing 🤔
faint wave
those xiaomi ones take one upload from android devices for new firmware and entering mac address to config
okay sir, we believe it goes exacly that simply 😄
fringe moon
Usually it does, except if I'm upgrading a major customer network enviroment and just supposed to do a single port change
then you know hell is going to break loose
like my wife said the other day "eeeeh are you working at customer x?"
🤣
"you might be in the newspapers"
gentle fossil
smells like ddos
faint wave
i think you might run into additional calibration need to get the diy sensors to report the same etc, thats why i also picked xiaomi, they are well calibrated fro mfactory
fringe moon
nah, just STP being a little SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY @gentle fossil
@faint wave already have all the sensors set up and calibrated within my tolerances, just need the display 🤣
faint wave
and you didnt count that time? well, busted! 😛
fringe moon
pssssh, the hours me and my daughter have spent repairing zigbee devices is NONE OF YOUR BEESWAX 🤣
faint wave
btw i
im new to zb, do repeaters need data or just program and put them to sit somewhere with power source?
gentle fossil
i see, I also need a little human
fringe moon
zb is just pair and have fun for the most part
all (almost) mains powered devices are repeaters by default
some edge (battery devices) are not very good at changing repeaters \ routers, so pair them where they are supposed to be
😡 🤬
fringe moon
but to be honest, my cc1352 was able to pair a device from my (concrete) garage in the basement that was situated in my attic on the other side of the house
without a hickup
PEBKAC you see @gentle fossil
faint wave
concrete itself isnt the only issue, it really depends on how much metal and in what configuration is or isnt inside that concrete 🙂 thats why success can vary a lot

nope, no PEBKAC

I'm trying to keep my Harmony remote in sync with my LG TV.
winged knoll
You can abuse the REST API for developers for that, but you have to ensure you include all the attributes for the entity
It isn't trivial 😉
fringe moon
I remember my harmony remote, it was a pita, but I understand they are quite popular in the states atleast 🤣 mine was the earlier non touch screen one though
winged knoll
I had one... 15 years ago I think
I haven't had the need for one since I bought it - pretty toy that gathered dust
fringe moon
yeah, used my LG tv built in apps the first year, then moved to a roku, and now to a apple tv, all handled with one single remote, either the lg \ the roku \ the apple which does anything I need really
winged knoll
We have two remotes, and most of the time one does everything. Buying a third remote for the few times it'd actually be helpful.... yeah, not happening 😂
dense wyvern
Thanks for the tips. It's a PITA trying to keep it synced especially because not everyone in the house use the Harmony remote every time.
It's annoying that the Harmony seems to use the IR and sends dumb IR commands. Instead of checking to see if the TV is already on instead of sending the IR on command irrespective of the TVs current state.
fringe moon
yeah, for that logics makes more sense, like, I turn on the tv and amps via IP communication, so I always know their state and their current attributes
Trying to get rid of all my 433 stuff, I have IR still upstairs in the upstairs living room for my 15yo plasma tv, 10yo receiver and 15yo heatpump
but the broadlink handles those, I should put smart plugs on the devices though so I can accuratly tell the state

I have trouble with my new (2nd of the same type) Tradfri bulb through Zigbee2mqtt. The device shows up in the logs and the list. However it doesnt seem to know the manufacturer and model. And it also doesnt show up in the list of all my devices in HA.
When im listening to "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/devices" i see that for this troubled device "interview_completed", "interviewing" and "supported" are all "false". What am i doing different with this bulb that it shows in z2mqtt but is not recognized properly?

Anyone know where I can find a more thorough walkthrough on how to integrate this display into HA? https://github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/TTGO-T-Display
rustic stream
That's what i thought, though all the samples I've found i haven't been able to get to work
fringe moon
From what I can see the display and esp devices is on the same board
so that would be super easy
Or am I misunderstanding the board ?
rustic stream
No that's about right
fringe moon
Hang on, I can generate some esphome code that you can upload to it, I'll share the example
rustic stream
That would be amazing
Though I keep getting errors related to the st7789v component when trying to compile to a .bin file so i can flash the board itself
fringe moon
let me give it a go
rustic stream
Tbf, i'm still fairly new to all of this so i'm probably doing something wrong
Though i've managed to get other (simple) esphome integrations working
fringe moon
do you have esphome running ? if so I can just share code that I can compile on my side and you can try to compile it yourself
rustic stream
The board is only flashed with the firmware it came with atm
The issues I ran into were when trying to compile to a bin file from within esphome on homeassistant
rustic stream
I'd like to eventually display data from homeassisant on there, simple things like temps or switch status
neon flicker
Does it fit, dimensionally, inside a deco style wall plate? I can see using them besides switches at the entry points of the home for that kind of feedback
fringe moon
Aye, got it compiling now @rustic stream , had to import some libraries
You have to import these files into esphome https://github.com/musk95/esphome in the correct folders
rustic stream
Yeah I did that as wel

Simple code here that compiled fine
then you can just add the display info you need

Ah ok. Then I think #449717345808547842 might be my best bet. If it's docker I guess it has an add on sections?

#330990055533576204 and #330944238910963714 has addons

Make sense, i don't fully get docker so might give it a try. Its just a bit confusing right now I don't think it being almost 4am isn't helping. I might go the #449717345808547842 route learn a bit of docker and try to get the capture card idea going. Is there a way to migrate from supervised to container?
fringe moon
Yes, copy out configuration, and place it somewhere docker can read it
Then recreate any add-ons as containers
last torrent
Oh true that makes more sense. Because HA just uses that config folder for HA think......kind of like HA core maybe? Just trying to wrap my head around it
fringe moon
Yes
last torrent
Omg i feel so stupid now, I think I got it. So #449717345808547842 is just like a normal docker container, just like Nodered.? But no add-ons and make my old addons again in docker separately then connect them to HA in someway. I hope I'm making sense
fringe moon
Yes
last torrent
That's good. Ill get too it in the morning after some sleep. I think the issue on my setup is that I might have installed HA wrong because using Portainer docker seems normal. So all I'd really need to do is stop my supervised version and install the container version. Or would it be better to fully remove the old HA supervised

Remove supervised, start fresh

eternal kraken
Hey guys, had a question - really new to smart tech and HA
If I get Phillips hue light bulbs and am toggling then from HA, do the light switches always need to be on
void summit
Yes, the light switches will have to stay on for them to work.
eternal kraken
How bad is that in terms of using power
void summit
A quick googling brought me to this:
When the bulb is on and set to maximum brightness, it consumes about 0.08-0.09 Amps (about 5.4 Watts). In the off state (but still drawing some power so that it can communicate with the network), each bulb draws around 0.01 to 0.02 Amps (about 0.4 Watts). As expected, even when the LEDs are off power draw is not zero.
fringe moon
We haven't used a light switch in this house for over a year
void summit
They use about 13x more power when they are on. It is something, but not significant. If you can use automations to reduce the amount of time the lights are on you could probably justify it for energy savings, or being energy neutral.
eternal kraken
Cool thanks
Yeah I saw that the bulbs use minimal power to stay connected to the network, but I think that’d be different than the power used if the switches are left on even if the bulbs are off
Power used by just leaving the switches on, not having to do with the actual bulb if that makes sense
void summit
Ah, a light switch being on doesn't mean power is being used.
fringe moon
It just means a circuit is complete
eternal kraken
Ah true makes sense
Thanks!
Also, I’m currently building a new home
Any suggestions for stuff that I should build into the home that’ll make my setup better/easier
fringe moon
Neutral to all switches
void summit
And if there is anywhere you might want a fan have a separate switch for it and the light.

maybe it's better here, I'm wondering if any of you already played with websocket based integrations. The idea is that I want to integrate with my dmx software (QLC+). It provides a web interface that I can integrate with iframe but is really ugly. The web interface communicates with the software through simple websocket messages (basically a button has an idea, and update is sent every time a button is pushed). I wonder if I could have some integration that can associate a device with a couple of messages sent through websocket, so that my lovelace interface could communicate with the software directly.
Did anyone played with this already ?

pliant trail
Hey guys, I have some question that I couldn’t find the answer for in the discord yet. If someone would be so kind to help a noob out. I currently have some smart bulbs but for my soon-to-be home I want to go all-in on smart switches and sensors. I am looking for a pragmatic system which won’t cost me too much so I was keen on some zigbee livolo switches I found, apparently they are on some proprietary zigbee protocol so these will not talk to HA (even with the hub)? Doing some further research I found that I could also combine the livolo ‘dumb’ switch with sonoff mini’s. These seem to be popular with DIY’ers so that would be a safer bet I feel. These mini’s come in both WiFi and zigbee, I am leaning towards WiFi since I read they install easier but for all sensors across the house I need a good mesh and the zigbee mini’s are repeaters. Any opinions on this proposal?
tl;dr:
Can I use livolo zigbee switches with HA? (with hub is fine)
Or should I go for ‘dumb’ livolo switches + Sonoff mini’s?
Sonoff mini WiFi vs Sonoff mini zigbee?

woke up this morning and my hassio running on an odroid c2 is stuck in a loop rebooting after ~60 seconds and I cannot connect via ssh or http or find any way to login to a console locally to repair the disk (it says it was uncleanly mounted and needs to run fsck during boot)... am I just screwed? can I recover a backup of my data somehow?
rapid pond
if xyour card is dead - no, no way t orecover. but if fsck succeedes to revive it, make backup as fast as possible. some cards fall back to read only state when damaged - try to read your card externally, you should be able to read something
and from now on, remeber 3-2-1 backup rule ,-)
for long term ussage with a lot of log writings, I can only recommend cards designated for video surveillance, like WD purple, they last much longer
digital nacelle
@rapid pond its an odroid c2 with an emmc 64gb drive... this is the boot log https://ibb.co/ByVsQVj it says fsck is needed but doesn't say it is automatically running fsck (that I can see)... all the messages after ~60s appear super quick and it shuts down before I can read anything... I had to video it and screen cap the video... is hassio supposed to automatically run fsck and recover, or should I be able to boot into recovery mode somehow to run fsck?
rapid pond
emmc 😦
digital nacelle
looks like the main problem is something about watchdog does not stop which initiates a shutdown... but before then, it looks like its not checking the disk or complaining about anything
rapid pond
if that is an externally attached module, try to read it externally. usb readers are quite cheap
digital nacelle
so thats the only way? connect to another machine... there is no recovery/console mode directly in hassio?
rapid pond
to be honest - i'm not sure
but that won't help you if card is damaged and it cannot boot from it.
digital nacelle
well it is booting... startup messages look normal... it says eth0 is up etc... but then after a minute it reboots... googling says the watchdog log line might be expected during shutdown and is not the cause of the shutdown... so, no indication then what is triggering the shutdown...

Hi; is there any sort of list/site of well-recommended sensors (by type/features/cost, perhaps)? Right now I'm considering air quality monitoring (US, low-mid tier budget, Z-Wave preferred but WiFi might be fine, currently don't have ZigBee but maybe could, prefer not cloud-based, prefer not DIY), but since I'm just getting started I could use it for a lot of things and web searches aren't really getting me what I'd like, but I also don't want to be a firehose of beginner questions.

Short answer - no
The problem is, this is a big planet, and everybody has different budgets, device options, requirements, expectations...
Your idea of "low-mid tier budget" may also differ significantly from somebody else's 😉

fair enough, thought I'd give it a shot.

Recommended RF bridge for 434 Mhz ceiling fan?
Note: bought a sonoff 433 not realizing it wasn't 434 :(
glossy prism
433.92 MHz includes 433.05MHz - 434.79 MHz
rocky lodge
So this Sonoff RF Bridge 433MHZ should work?
glossy prism
Probably only if you flash it with Tasmota and the portische firmware
rocky lodge
Oh so I have to flash a new firmware ?!?!?!?!!!!
glossy prism
The stock firmware only supports sonoff accessories I believe
rocky lodge
Gotcha
glossy prism
Or a limited number of protocols, rather
rocky lodge
Do you have a guide you like, or just Google it?
And which firmware do you recommend?
high lake
Hi folks! I've got a plug I think I may have bricked, but hoping someone with more experience can verify whether I can recover this thing without physical flashing
I have successfully installed Tasmota on 3 plugs exactly like this one via tuya-convert.
But now I have some strange behavior on the 4th one. I'm not entirely sure what the sequence of events was, but I believe maybe the intermediary firmware was borked somehow during transmission.
glossy prism
@high lake stop the tuya-convert script, restart tuya-convert, power cycle the plug, and there's a good chance it'll work
bright jacinthBOT
high lake
Oh wow.
Ha. I was about to give up. And it worked.
🤷♂️
Thank you!
Got these plugs from a Walmart deal - $5 for two
glossy prism
heh, nice
high lake
They don't allow for the firmware backup - not sure why, but the flash works eventually.
glossy prism
wouldn't worry about it
the firmware backup is almost useless anyway
it assumes the flash size is 1M even if it's not and it can only be used on the device is was taken from even if you have multiple of the same model
glossy prism
not really
plus if you're flashing with tasmota why would you want the stock firmware anyway? 😛

How would one begin to evaluate all the different options for setting up home assistant compatible window/door contact sensors in their house? zigbee vs z-wave, different vendors, etc. Is there a reliable 3rd party who makes recommendations on such things? I have a couple of Wyze cameras and was thinking about giving their platform a try for contact sensors
winged knoll
So, a lot of this comes down to budget and availability
Personally:
Functionality/reliability: Z-Wave > Zigbee > anything else
Cost: Zigbee < Z-Wave
Both Zigbee and Z-Wave are 100% local, no cloud rubbish, no risks of somebody pulling your ability to use them
long charm
is it realistic to expect one hub to be able to cover sensors on the far ends of the house, or do people usually have multiple hubs?
winged knoll
Zigbee and Z-Wave are mesh networks
So, yes
Z-Wave has a limit of four hops from the controller, so if you've got a really large house it may not work
Zigbee has no hard limit, so as long as this isn't a mansion I'd not give it a second thought
long charm
sounds like im narrowing in on zigbee. would need 20 contact sensors to get all the windows and doors.
winged knoll
Zigbee makes that less expensive 😉
long charm
something like this would get me going? i'd still need some sort of receiver hub I presume. https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Ecolink-Zigbee-Wireless-Door-Window-Contact-Samsung-SmartThin/164249310538?

hi guys. someone using shelly1? I'm curious how satisfied you are, compare to sonoff maybe
drifting grove
Anyone here using virtual box to run their system?
rapid pond
hyper-v here
winged knoll
Lots of folks do
drifting grove
I have my initial testing on virtual box so far.
I have smartthings but want to move my devices into home assistant. Is my best bet a raspberry pi server?
With a zwave usb stick
glossy prism
Not necessarily
winged knoll
Well, it's the cheapest bet
glossy prism
A pi is a good starting point
winged knoll
Cheap is rarely "best" other than for the wallet
rapid pond
depends on your usage. if you do not really rely on HA , it might work. but for mission criticals - pi is not a good option, that's my oppinioon
but as @winged knoll said, it is cheap - so it can find its place
drifting grove
I have home assistant running inside a windows laptop so far and it’s tracking my phone so I’m trying to devise a plan to get rid of smartthings but keep the door contacts etc
All smartthings devices
Besides some crappy globe lights
rapid pond
@winged knoll if you stick to pi with SD, using video surveillance designed cards is 100 times better than normal ones. but as you say, ssd is great
winged knoll
Well, yes, but too many folks don't want to pay the tiny bit extra for those, or industrial cards 😉
(I run WD Purple SD cards)
rapid pond
@winged knoll yep, purples in all my RPIs - they cost just a little bit more, but is's worth the money
bright jacinthBOT
winged knoll
😉
rapid pond
i do not agree with your discord statement, but if that is habit on this server - i respect.
drifting grove
So if pi is a good starting point should I be running them on a computer instead is that better? I could run it on Ubuntu
glossy prism
Any 10-year-old laptop would be better than a pi
rapid pond
i would chose anything that is upgradable. free ESXi if you have some hardware - or free hyper-v if you ade microsoft positive
imho it's good to stick industrial standards even in small installations
drifting grove
Ok ok so to transition then I would need a usb zwave only to migrate
Cause I stuck with smartthings zwave for that reason
glossy prism
i do not agree with your discord statement, but if that is habit on this server - i respect.
@rapid pond the point is you don't need to tag someone in every response especially when you're actively discussing
rapid pond
than vmware esxi will be a good option, hyper-v does not support usb passthrough. maybe virtualbox as well, but i'm not experiened whith in a 24/7 application, i know it only as a toy
winged knoll
Buy the cheapest Z-Wave stick for your region - #zwave-archived can help further there

Smarthings geofence is horrible so I was trying something like ping my phone on wireless to disable the alarm

Anything else you guys use?

bright jacinthBOT
winged knoll
Bluetooth FTW, but you can "easily" make things much smarter and more adaptive
(no, I don't mean easily, but ... it's not hard to make something robust)
rapid pond
i don!t have alarm, but I use license plate recognition for turning on lights when I or my wife come home
winged knoll
I do "simple" phone detection, primarily using Bluetooth, but with WiFi as a backup
rapid pond
maybe this could be partly usable as well - can disable external alarm/fencing and can allow you get closer to inhouse BT beacon
rapid pond
also integration with mikrotik seems to work quite nice, i tried https://github.com/tomaae/homeassistant-mikrotik_router (via HACS) and looks promising
winged knoll
Downside is that most modern phones turn WiFi off in deep sleep mode
rapid pond
but anyway, for real presence detection, I would use deditated BT presence beacons
heh, not in my case, I live out of GSM signal. so wifi is the only connectivity my phone has when I'm home
in the past, when I used domoticz, I tried this one - and worked great: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32875987136.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.278a2f69hzZxtI&algo_pvid=be72bd42-ce35-4315-9026-646235c1a5c5&algo_expid=be72bd42-ce35-4315-9026-646235c1a5c5-2&btsid=0b0a555b16043532568468029ea7e3&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

how do I create a separate entity for just the power wattage meter alone?

Do you guys know if it's possible to remove the color wheel and the white temperature slider from a LIFX white bulb? Don't need them because It's just a white dimmable bulb.
opal elk
white shouldnt give you any of those options @warm dove
warm dove
Indeed. That's what I thought. But I gave me these options @opal elk
opal elk
mine is setup like a button right now though so its just on and off
doesnt give you dimming ability but it works
warm dove
I added the bulb through auto discovery by its integration
opal elk
thats fine
when you setup the card for it you can pick which card works for you
eg
i have a button card with this config
tap_action:
action: toggle
entity: light.lifx_mini_w_3714b9```But mine is dimmable
opal elk
so use this
warm dove
I would like to have the dimmer slider as well without the color wheel

grand sorrel
@fervent knoll , you could use something like this in your automation to populate the entity_id
{% for d in states.light if 'dining_room' in d.entity_id -%}
{{d.entity_id}}
{%- if not loop.last -%},{%-endif-%}
{% endfor %}
or
{% for d in states if 'dining_room' in d.entity_id -%}
{{d.entity_id}}
{%- if not loop.last -%},{%-endif-%}
{% endfor %}
probably better to make a group and just toggle the group

hi is anyone familar with the Inovelli Red Dimmer that can help with my installation...... i have 2 Hue bulbs that are controlled currently by a switch, I am replacing that switch with the Inovelli Red Dimmer. I was thinking that instead of having the bulbs powered off by the switch, I should have the bulbs always powered (so they are always accessible via Hue app and HA) and then instead turn them off via Hue bridge when i toggle the switch. Should I just connect the lights directly to 120v full time? Or should I wire them to the switch as the load? Ive been looking at hte manual that came with the switch and I cant find a setting to disable the load though. Ideally I would connect the lights to the load of the Inovelli and set the Inovelli so the switch is always providing 120v on the load output. thanks

just to see what experience other people have with the zwave and sensors. For me the whole zwave thing is quite new.

Well, speed depends on the quality and health of your mesh

I don’t think it can go faster in my test setup I have the sensor hooked up to usb next to the zwave stick
Maybe WiFi sensors are faster.

Maybe it’s just getting used to it and having confidence.

You will find that the mesh goes through periods of instability and unexpected delays as it grows, until it settles down again. That's just the nature of Z-Wave

hello everyone; does someone here here experience with this case to mount a touchscreen to a wall: https://smarticase.com/pages/smartipi-touch-2-setup-1

I'd put this in "entities", as I think I understand the difference between entities and devices, however, there is not a room for "entities". I am still really struggling with entities in one regard, and that is when I see this message:
This entity does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI. See the documentation for more detail.
When you click on the documentation link, it says:
this simply means that you can’t change the entity_id or the friendly name from the UI.You can still use the Customizations menu to customize that entity. Typically you’ll see this when you create entities using YAML.
However, this is not always true. For example, if I define device tracker, yes, I did that in YAML, but I didn't define the ENTITIES in YAML; device tracker did that. The documentation does not, at least anywhere I can find, specifically explain how to ASSIGN unique IDs to entities which do not currently have them. Is there a document which explains this explicitly, i.e. the best way to assign unique IDs to entities? As another thought, since entities such as those created by device tracker are created after a restart, would it not be possible for the SYSTEM to assign them unique IDs at creation time, thus circumventing this problem? If this discussion should be in another room, please direct me. Thanks.
winged knoll
If the integration docs say you can add a unique_id then you can
Otherwise you can't
And, if you're setting it up in YAML you are creating the entities using YAML - you may just not realise that 😉
pale mantle
So, in the device tracker instance...I may be creating them that way, i.e. I configured device tracker in YAML, but the hundred or so entities which get created have no reference in YAML that I can find.
winged knoll
No, but they were created through the YAML
pale mantle
Ok...thanks.
pale mantle
Which is what I said...I was only asking for a way to address it when it is not true.
winged knoll
You can't
The integration docs tell you what's possible, if they don't say it's possible, then you can't

pale mantle
Ok. However...another integration I have, Ruckus Unleashed, does not have any reference to entity ID, yet for all entities it found, it created them. But device tracker does not do that. Neither reference entity ID in the docs as near as I can find.
I suppose my best solution at this point is simply don't use device tracker.
My biggest question NOW is, now that I removed device tracker from my configuration and restarted, how/where do I make those entities go away which I no longer want?

it needs something at first

so i need to flash tasmota on it then?
steady hearth
or you have to use usb
yeah it has to have something on it that makes it exist on the network. Then you can compile your esp config and download it. Then upload it using tasmota ui. Your esp will replace the tasmota
after that it should show as online in esphome
and you can mess with the configuration
steady hearth
looks good. there's also something out there called tasmotizer
of course, if you connect via usb , you can skip this
and see if esphome finds it on the usb connection
I'm kind of used to devices with an existing firmware of some kind which are already online, or converted with tuya convert

I saw this document in a github repository: https://github.com/codetheweb/tuyapi/blob/master/docs/SETUP.md
I need to create a iot.tuya.com account, but cloud development is paid for what i understand...
haughty pewter
just so we get the basics done. What do you want to do. Flash the firmware or fake the server?

I want to control the tuya device locally without flashing the firmware
haughty pewter
Ok, so for that to work there's two alternatives, mitm the keys by faking the certs. This no longer works with newer devices
Or set up a dev account and actually knowing the keys and then using tuya-cli to connect to them and get the keys
(Or at least those are the alternatives that I found)

But the cloud development is paid for what i understand, so this means that i cannot do this again when i buy a new device?
