Je ne suis pas sûr d'avoir bien fait d'écraser mon #Jeedom par #HomeAssistant

Quel bordel ce logiciel. C'est pire que Jeedom mais la première impression est top, car il te trouver du matériel. Tu te dis que tout va fonctionner rapidement, sauf que dès que tu touches aux protocoles #domotique, c'est pas du tout aisé !

Je suis à la ramasse sur plein de trucs : rfxcom, zwave, dashboard...

Sunday Funday: Mein ca 10 Jahre alter Kindle Voyage hat dank Jailbreak neue Tricks gelernt.
Der Bildschirmschoner zeigt jetzt (wie könnte es anders sein…) ein #HomeAssistant Dashboard und die Darstellung via #eInk mit 300dpi ist ganz fabelhaft.

Turns out #HomeAssistant #Bluetooth integration prevents #Hue bulbs from being discovered by the Hue bridge. Looks like the bridge utilizes BLE first to discover new bulbs even when the connection should be made through #ZigBee.
Had issues adding a new bulb. Tried to reset it with the Dimmer Switch and reset another one instead, one meter away. Surprised that the old one also wasn’t able to be discovered. Powered down Home Assistant and both bulbs were discovered right away.

#Heizungsoptimierung homemade.

Die Heizung im Wohnzimmer ist mit der Lage überfordert. Also kommen da Lüfter dran.
Ideal wäre drunter, aber da ist zu wenig Platz.
Also oben dran und die Wärme absaugen.
Hier die Evolutionsstufen der Entwicklung von links nach rechts.

Beschreibung in den ALT Texten.

Die Steuerung per #HomeAssistant und #esphome ist vorbereitet, aber noch nicht fertig. Also wird erst mal mit dem Labornetzteil gearbeitet.

#3ddruck

Alt...

An einer Heizung unter einer breiten Steinfensterbank hängen drei Lüfter. Links: erster Versuch, Mitte zweiter, rechts dritte und für gut befundene Version

Alt...

Erster Versuch: Klammern die an die Hezungsrippen packen. Eigentlich waren auch noch Magnete geplant. Da der Halter aber schon schwer auf die Rippen ging, war das nichts.

Alt...

Zweiter Versuch: die inneren Klemmen weggelassenen. Damit klemmte natürlich nichts mehr, aber es stellte sich heraus, dass die Rippen der Heizung unterschiedlich weit auseinander liegen. Die Magente kommen nicht alle in die Rippen, das hält zu semi gut.

Alt...

Dritter und letzter Versuch: die Magnete sich beweglich angebracht, so haben alle vier Magnete Kontakt zur Heizung. Dazu noch eine Fase an die Front und das Lüftungsgitter etwas weiter von den Schaufeln des Lüfters weg. Der geht jetzt in Serie.

Finally moved the Borgmatic Notifications from Telegram to Homeassistant so i can now abbandon Telegram.

Hey hivemind, some questions in the run-up to #FOSDEM

And another one, though that doesn't need in-person: what's the least amount of effort to have a long-term-stable #homeassistant with #matter over #thread? I suspect a zbt-2 with the home assistant green? Are the 4GB of RAM enough? Or a #raspberrypi ? Or a N100?

I'm back online from the longest internet outage in my life - 19 hours!
Have no idea what was broken on my #ISP side, but guess that was something huge.

A lot of things went wrong while offline. I had #HomeAssistant connection issues on #iOS. I had #Plex issues playing something. I even had issues with #PhilipsHue lights, because the time on the bridge switched to something completely unrelated to reality.

My #homelab was not prepared, but lessons were learned.

Ich habe mir zum Testen einen Home Assistant Voice für meinen HA Green gekauft.

Die Sprachmodelle, die auf einem Green laufen (tiny und base), sind super langsam und verstehen die einfachsten Wörter nicht auf Deutsch.

Auf eine Cloud-Anbindung habe ich eigentlich keine Lust, auch wenn sie von dem HA-Projekt kommt.

Angeblich kann man die Modelle auch auf einem lokalen PC installieren, der dann ein STT-Backend für den HA Green bereitstellt.

FRAGE: Hat jemand von euch das schon mal ausprobiert und wird die Erkennung dann wirklich besser?

I want to thank everyone who commented on my rant about Home Assistant VM eating so much memory. This morning I did some investigation, and I understand what's going on.

A few people who commented were right: it was all about buffers and cache. I didn't keep the VM up long enough for it to drain. After spinning up a new VM, I dropped into the shell and saw 3GB just for that.

Restarting HA didn't do anything, as it simply restarts the services. I had to actually reboot the VM. It came back using 1.4GB of RAM, which is kind of expected (still not great, but acceptable).

So yeah, I'll keep moving on migrating my Home Assistant from a Raspberry Pi to a VM on Proxmox.

Thanks hive mind.

@badnetmask @homelab I can't imagine that's just because of the architecture difference. In my case, just Home Assistant is taking almost 500MB RAM.

Today I diacovered that #Zigbee2MQTT not only allows to rename devices, but update the entity ID in Home Assistant too. So, moving some lights around was done in the mere click of a button.

Speaking about Home Assistant: I'm baffled about the fact that HAOS out of the box (no config at all) running as a VM is consuming 3.5GB of RAM, while the sum of Raspberry Pi OS + Home Assistant Docker, with thousands of entities, is barely touching 1.5GB RAM.

Is this because of the difference between x86_64 and ARM? Is that normal? 🤔

I knew this was going to drive me nuts, but I had to start tracking my energy use anyway didn't I? Now I have a 0.3kWh discrepancy between my meter and my consumer unit and I NEED to know why... #homeassistant

Alt...

A energy graph from home assistant breaking down total household energy into constituent energy destinations. On the left is grid power, next is home which accounts for all grid power, next toi the right is "whole home energy monitor" which accounts for about 93.5% of all energy but a small grey line leads to untracked energy usage, this is not accounted for by the energy monitor. The energy monitor is then subdivided into dishwasher, server, optiplex, spot lights which accounts for about half of the energy monitor's measurement.

FYI all, portainer is giving away 3 node business licenses. https://www.portainer.io/take-3

When I signed up for the freebie I noticed they've added #kubernetes support since the last time I visited their site, so I'm interested in checking how well that interacts with #talos.

Some of my #homelab machines currently just run a few containers in #docker_compose stacks for services my #homeassistant server is using like node red and I've been using #portainer for simple things like checking status or restarting things without having to ssh into those workers. Most of those containers are going to get migrated into my #k8s cluster, so it'll be interesting to see how well it works as a quick web interface.

Je me demande si je ne vais pas changer de solution domotique et passer de #Jeedom à #HomeAssistant 🤔

Hooked up the "IR IN" input of my NAD C 320BEE to an ESP-01 flashed with Tasmota (tasmota-ir image). Assigned the "IRsend" parameter to one of the GPIOs, connected that GPIO to the tip of a 3.5" jack plug and GND to the sleeve. If I now send "IRSend" commands from Tasmota on the ESP-01 board the NAD responds immediately. In other words, I can now control this 20 year old stereo amplifier through WiFi. How NAD, eeeh, rad is that.

#esp8266 #Domotics #HomeAssistant

I have a question for all #HomeServer people.

I often hear that you started with a Pi for #HomeAssistant or other smaller stuff and a NAS.

Then many of you seem to merge everything they have into one device. My question is: Why?

This seems counterintuitive for me. When I restart my NAS my Smart Home is down? When I switch out hardware then NAS and Smart Home are down.

What's the big benefit putting Home Assistant for example on a NAS/Server instead of just keeping the Pi? For me that's a clear case for separation of concerns. But maybe I miss something.

Avant, je lançais parfois un lave linge et je l’oubliais jusqu’au lendemain, au moins… 😬

Maintenant, je suis tombé dans la #domotique avec #HomeAssistant, je reçois automatiquement une notification quand le linge est fini. 🤯

Alt...

Copie d’écran sur mobile de mon écran Home Assistant dédié à la buanderie, avec l’état du lave linge, et les horaires des derniers début et fin de cycle.

So, Mastodon is a hotbed of AI distrust, but #HomeAssistant is also super popular, and the HomeAssistant devs have been making it possible to integrate various types of LLM into Home Assistant...

So I'm curious, do you

Ok #homeautomation friends. I have a new wood burning fireplace. One of its features is a thermocouple thermometer in the catalytic converter. I’m supposed to use that temperature to help know when to engage the damper.

It has hard-wired leads that plug into the bottom of this device (that came with the stove). Fitting a new/additional thermometer to the fireplace is not realistic (I don’t think). But is there a device that can take these leads and can read the temperature? I want to add something to #homeassistant so I don’t have to look at the device and so I don’t have to keep replacing batteries in it.

I could hook up an ESP32 or similar with something going to a GPIO or whatever. But I don’t know where to start.

Any thoughts? Feel free to boost.

@bagder When is #curl replacing my entire #HomeAssistant? ;-)

Like any normal #homeautomation enthusiast I just happened to have an ESP32 and a 4 amp 5V power supply laying around. So I bought a couple more strands of WS2811 lights, flashed #WLED on it,and poof! second holiday tree is lit.

Here’s a hot tip from a pro like me to any of you amateurs out there. These ESP32s perform much better when you plug the +5V wire into the 5V pin and the ground into the GND pin. If you put the ground wire on one of the communication pins, they don’t work as well. 😛 Don’t get discouraged. One day you’ll be as smart as me.

Now to add it to #homeassistant …

Alt...

My lights didn't turn on to wake me up! And home assistant's last trace is sometime in November so I have no idea why! (By the way, if any other home assistant users are reading this and know why I don't have traces that are, like, in this month, let me know!) But I guess I needed the sleep and the only repercussion is that I missed the gym this morning. At least I feel rested!
Anyway, uh.... Good morning!

Our small domotics setup has been updated to the latest version of Home Assistant. I'm still using Home Assistant Core so I'm on my own, that way of running Home Assistant is not supported anymore.

So made a backup, installed Python 3.13, recreated the Home Assistant virtual environment, installed Home Assistant, copied over the Home Assistant configuration directory and started Home Assistant.

Was dieser Wohnung lange Zeit gefehlt hat war ein Außenthermometer.

Jetzt hab ich eins! Es wiegt drei Tonnen und misst nicht besonders hochauflösend, aber naja.

(Habe gestern noch etwas mehr Protokoll-Reverse-Engineering bei der Aufbauelektronik im Wohnmobil gemacht und dabei das am Unterboden montierte Außenthermometer auf dem RS485-Bus gefunden.)

Es sind deutliche Treppen in den Messwerten, da nur mit ca. 0.6 °C Genauigkeit gemessen wird. An manchen Stellen gibt es kleine Zacken nach unten oder oben in den ansonsten flachen Linien; hier ist das Thermometer zwischen zwei Werten hin und her gesprungen und Home Assistant bildet den Durchschnitt.

3 capteurs zigbee sur une table en bois. On peut lire sur la boite des capteurs: smart light/vibration sensor/light sensor. Ils sont blancs et sont rectangulaires, environ 2cm sur 6cm. Au centre un rond noir laisse entrevoir un circuit imprimé.

I've also got a couple of BLE temperature/humidity sensors in several places in the van.

They have a 0.1°C accuracy, but because they're reporting every few seconds, Home Assistant can calculate a very smooth temperature curve by simply averaging the values.

The blue background behind the curve represents the span of the values measured during that time period, and the blue line is the average.

#HomeAssistant

Alt...

Screenshot of a Home Assistant history diagram of the 5 minute averaged value of a sensor named "TF Heizung" for the last 14 hours. A smooth and steady blue curve wanders down from about 0.1°C at 6 PM to about -0.5°C at 1 AM, then slowly climbs up to 0°C at 7 AM. Behind the curve is the value interval in very low opacity blue. You can see that it has sharp edges in 0.1°C intervals.

1. reverse engineer the RS485 bus for the battery management and water level sensors in your van

2. write a daemon that polls these values and pushes them into MQTT

3. set up Home Assistant in the van

4. profit

Something in my house is sucking a *lot* of energy and I would like to find it and make it stop doing that. Anyone have specific recommendations for multi-circuit power-usage-tracking devices? (I have 13 240V and 18 120V circuits across three panels, suggesting I will probably need three such devices; the most populated panel has 10 120V and 2 240V.)

Other requirements: ideally #homeassistant compatible, not internet based (currently have devices on zwave and non-internet-facing wifi, adding zigbee soon for unrelated reasons), works with normal US split phase power. Assume I am a reasonably competent electrician and am comfortable putting a current transformer around a wire.

​​ Victoire technique personnel :

Il y a très longtemps, ma mère avait gagné une Samsung Galaxy Tab4.
Cette tablette est sortie en juin 2014.

Forcément, avec le temps elle est devenue inutilisable, je l’avais donc récupérée pour en faire une télécommande Home Assistant, mais elle avait un système si daté que l’app n’affichait même pas l’écran de connexion…

Après pas mal de galère (car Samsung ne fait pas du tout les choses de façon standard) j’ai réussi à installer TWRP. Puis, après quelques recherches, à trouver une rom qui veut bien se lancer !

Elle est donc passée dans un port non officiel de LineageOS 18.1 (Android 12), ça la rendue tellement fluide !

Et surtout… Home Assistant marche parfaitement !

Je l’ai défini comme lanceur d’application et désactivé la sécurité du lockscreen.

Une tablette samsung fixée au mur, elle affiche une interface Home Assistant avec 3 collones d’intérupteurs.

Okay, so let me tell you about my doorbell, from a #networking perspective.

When you push the button by the door, it sends a message over the #zigbee wireless mesh network in my house. It probably goes through a few hops, getting relayed along the way by the various Zigbee light switches and "smart outlets" I have.

Once it makes it to my utility closet, it's received by a Zigbee-to-USB dongle, through a USB hub (a simple tree network) plugged into an SFF PC. From there, it gets fed into zigbee2mqtt, which, as the name implies, publishes it to my local #mqtt broker.

The mqtt broker is in the small #kubernetes cluster of #raspberrypi nodes I run in my utility closet. To get in (via a couple of #ethernet switch hops), it goes through #metallb, which is basically a proxy-ARP type service that advertises the IP address for the mqtt endpoint to the rest of my network, then passes the traffic to the appropriate container via a #linux veth device.

I have #HomeAssistant, running in the same Kubernetes cluster, subscribed to these events. Within Kubernetes, the message goes through the CNI plugin that I use, #flannel. If the message has to pass between hosts, Flannel encapsulates it in VXLAN, so that it can be directed to the correct veth on the destination host.

Because I like #NodeRed for automation tasks more than HomeAssistant, your press of the doorbell takes another hop within the Kubernetes cluster (via a REST call) so that NodeRed can decide whether it's within the time of day I want the doorbell to ring, etc. If we're all good, NodeRed publishes an mqtt message (more VXLANs, veths, etc.)

(Oh and it also sends a notification to my phone, which means another trip through the HomeAssistant container, and leaving my home network involves another soup of acronyms including VLANs, PoE, QoS, PPPoE, NAT or IPv6, DoH, and GPON. And maybe it goes over 5G depending on where my phone is.)

Of course something's got to actually make the "ding dong" sound, and that's another Raspberry Pi that sits on top of my grandmother clock. So to get *there* the message hops through a couple Ethernet switches and my home WiFi, where it gets received by a little custom daemon I wrote that plays the sound via an attached #HiFiBerry board. Oh but wait! We're not quite done with networking, because the sound gets played through PulseAudio, which is done through a UNIX domain socket.

SO ANYWAY, that's why my doorbell rarely works and why you've been standing outside in the snow for five minutes.
