I have a YouTube channel and have been posting videos for years. Many are about the things I am fixing, as the Channel name implies, but there are a significant number of Home Assistant related ones as well. - Playlist for my Home Assistant Videos

I also share about 20 Blueprints with the community and 3 custom_template macros on GitHub thru HACS.

Homepage & Discord & Blueprints & HA Config &
Color-Multi-Tool & Availability-Template & Logic-Chekr Template

Those are links to some of my stuff...

That said, here's a YouTube I did recently using the Compensation Integration and a Zigbee on Z2M water hose valve to water my Garden this summer. If you look at my video list there are more HA related videos and lots of other things. If you have any questions drop them in here or one of my other contact points. I plan on adding to this thread as Home Assistant Related things happen.

Pulling in another HA related video. This has been up a year and going strong. Didn't need to add the heater and didn't have to change batteries yet...

Ecowitt Wittboy Weather Station GW2001 & WH57

Installation of my Ecowitt Wittboy weather station GW2001 & WH57 video. If you want to know how a normal guy from Wisconsin installed his and connected it to Home Assistant, this video is for you.

Oh okay. I believe it's for the ultrasonic wind detector supposedly without it you can get false positives and very exaggerated wind speeds. I live in Alberta and the power is connected for the heater. It only turns on when the temperature is below 5° C. It's thermostated, it stays on off depending on the temperature outside. I noticed that it warms things up a little bit to the point where it can actually affect the temperature readings. For example one wintery was minus 40° Celsius but the thing was saying it was -36 degrees Celsius

#

If my wind speed works or not I don't care really. Mine is between houses and the wind tunnel affect messes it up. I wanted is it raining, how much, temperatures, Lightning, and LUX

tribal dagger
#

that makes sense, if its not accurate why bother. I have some automations based on the wind gust in the winter like, turn off the inflatates otherwise the 14ft Santa Claus and snowman will be like Barney at the Macy's day parade ...lol

I decided to convert my Aqara sensors from ZHA/Z2M to Matter via the Aqara hub. I have not converted the T1 cubes,yet (still on Z2M). Would your Blueprint work on the magic cube if I convert these devices to Matter?

sullen imp
#

I have a ZHA blueprint for the pro cubes, but the pro cube only does half of the stuff on zha as it does on z2m.

#

If it's matter, I don't know. I don't have any matter stuff.

tribal dagger
#

Yeah, its still relatively new

#

Sounds like it probably won't work 😀

sullen imp
#

yes

tribal dagger
#

I mean I could probably try converting one and sharing what/how it exposes

sullen imp
#

I am basically saying the ZHA interview / quirks are broken, there is no scene mode, no hold, drop is there but it's don't work because the cube can't do it, etc. They have shown no desire to fix it 2 years now.

#

So the ZHA blueprint , well there is only 1 because they are the same device in the eyes of ZHA / zigpy.

tribal dagger
#

Yeah, I left ZHA a while ago. Z2M is better, much better. But, I was still having to re-pair some of my aqara devices every 2 month or so I was fed up with that and now I'm using the Aqara hub for aqara devices only.

sullen imp
#

I'mprety sure the blueprint will not work.

#

I should get one and play with it maybe.

tribal dagger
#

I'm using this BP right now

sullen imp
#

That's the original blueprint, not the one for the pro version of the cube.

#

so the zha one would work the same

#

And tha aqara hub no chance.

#

(formy stuff)

tribal dagger
#

Yes, I don't have the pro. Ok, I'll leave the cubes on Z2M and continue to use that Blueprint

#

Thanks

Here's a video I put out a couple of years ago, but I think it hasn't changed much. I know I use the PI today still doing it's job. If you find a problem with it, let me know....

I will be using a cheapo current sensor Tuya Zigbee and make it work to do dryer notifications. It would have energy data as well, or should. I haven't pulled it OOTB yet.

I also got my Apollo Christmas tree, so we can see that.

If you are looking for a Tutorial on how to create a blueprint, this is the stream for you.
I start with a working automation, make the blueprint, then modify the blueprint to add features.
I also look at my entire Library of Blueprints what I have created for sharing with the Community.
Any questions, ask away.

I pulled the Vevor Weather Station out last week and installed another Ecowitt WH90 with a display panel.
I hated that I couldn't get the data and double hated when the lux / UV sensor went out after being up 6 weeks.
The install went flawless.
