Whenever I try to add a new integration through the UI I do not get any descriptive text for configuration fields. And most times pressing Save or Submit does nothing, it just reloads the popup. It has been like this on several versions of HA, don’t remember when it started, but I guess its something in my installation. I run a container in Docker.
Any ideas?

I like to have an normal on/off switch in lovelace that make the light go on and when activated turn off again. But my automation turns it off again when there is no motion. How can I achieve that when pushed on in lovelace it stays on untill I pushed it off again. Some override the no motion automation .

I have a two node home assistant setup. The system seems to be operating normally, however…
on both nodes, I am seeing messages of the following form in the log of the core-mosquitto addon
1627733866: Socket error on client <unknown>, disconnecting.
1627733986: New connection from 172.30.32.2 on port 1883.
172.30.32.2 is the address of hassio_supervisor but I can’t see why it is trying to connect to core-mosquitto
if it helps, I have just updated both nodes to the latest versions of core and addon software. It was last updated some months ago (core was on 202107<something>). I did see something in the change notes about the mosquitto config having moved from YAML into the UI). Could this have something to do with it? Note: I don’t know if the errors coincide with this update.

Hey.
I’m working on setting up home assistant to interact with my heatpump/ventilation through modbus.
(usb dongle into the pi)
I got the inputs set up, no problem.
However, writing to a holding register provides a challenge.
For example, I’ve set up the main on/off as a switch:
- name: OnOff
slave: 30
address: 1001
device_class: switch
write_type: holding
verify:
This works fine for reading the register, but I can’t seem to write to that register, using this entity.
The documentation states that writing is done with “function call 16”, and looking through the HA documentation, it seems that I have to write an array then…
However, I’m don’t know how to do that for the entity card.
I did manage to use a button to call a service using this code:
type: button
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: modbus.write_register
service_data:
address: 1001
unit: 30
hub: Nilan
value:
- 1
target: {}
entity: switch.onoff
But this means I would have to use TWO buttons, instead of a switch…
Is there a way to make the switch entity send an array instead of a single value?

Hi!
I followed this page to install Home Assistant on a VirtualBox running on my Windows 10 PC.
Then I followed this to bind it with my Fibaro Home Center 2
It worked surprisingly well, but I have a problem with a Qubino Smart Meter installed in my fuse box. All its entity sensors seem to work well, except the Watts used one (called unknown Mains in the Overview). It shows 0.0 W.
In Fibaro Home Center 2 it works fine.
Is there any configuration I can do to make it work? I’d love to impress my friends and family with the watt usage of my apartment right on my Android cell phone 
Here are a screenshot

Hi!
I’ve just got my first tag reader soldered together and can successfully trigger spotify albums on my daughter’s Sonos One SL, now I’m wondering if it’s possible to trigger an audio book on Audible? I guess it must be possible but I can’t find any examples of how the content id would look for this. Has anyone done this before? Any ideas where I should look? Or should I find downloadable content and host it locally for simplicity?

Hi there,
during last months I observed some false motion detection alerts from my Ikea Tradfri sensor, apparently triggered without any moviment.
The sensor has been working fine since then, it’s installed over the door of a windowless boxroom - I’m pretty sure it’s not triggered by insects. On the other hand, when a person enter the room everything works as expected.
Some info about the scenario:
Does anyone suffer from the same issues?
Thanks for any tip.

Hi Folks,
I have ESP32 based fan speed controller which parallels a couple of high voltage capacitors through relays to get me 5-speed control. The relays are controlled through a couple of scripts in HA to determine the speeds and within HA I control them with input booleans on UI which in turn trigger automation and eventually the scripts to control the fan speed. While this works perfectly well but my wife and kid found this a bit cumbersome to open the app on IPAD every time to control the fan/lights in the room.
So I build a small switchboard with a couple of touch sensors capable of controlling all the switches in the room. Thinking 5 separate touch buttons for fan speed to be a bit much, I decided to go with a two-button up and down approach. These up and down touch buttons trigger automation which in turn updates a counter/automation which in turn triggers the scripts to control the relay and fan speed. All is well so far but my kid being a kid and impatient she pushes the buttons quickly to get to the desired speed and this messes up the controller automation somehow leading to some of the undesired relays left on/off. My scripts switch these relays in different combinations and at 1second delays to ensure they don’t overlap and I believe the fast touch button toggling by my daughter is causing some of the unwanted relays to stay on/off causing unpredictable speeds. To wrap up if I press the touch button once and wait for the script to finish executing and then select the next speed it works fine.
Is there a way in HA to avoid the scripts/automation running in parallel and messing up the relay combination.
Regards
Anil

So I posted earlier about setting up using same docker files, but on two different devices and well, the cheaper terramaster detected everything on the network, the qnap detected none.
then when I install the stuff on qnap everything is going well, except the ring door bell showing last video, on the cheaper nas the entity works (right side) on the more expensive one it does not (left)
any ideas on why it works on one but not the other, they are both on same network.

I just ordered some new blinds with Somfy motors RTS 25, expecting that my Connexoon box would be able to manage them. Found out the hard way that my blinds are RTS protocol and the Connexoon box is IO only.
Trying to find an alternative:
I did not buy a remote (expecting my Connexoon would be able to manage them). But can I connect the Somfy Motor Tilt 50 RTS to the RFXCOM by pressing the physical button on the motor?

I’ve installed the new forecast.solar integration in 2021.7 and it seems to work, but its estimates are way off.
For instance – today is a nice sunny day and with my total installed power of 8700W, I get an estimate of 17kWh for the day, but the actual is more like 50 kWh. I’ve been monitoring it for the past few days, but it doesn’t seem to change its estimates much… I’d hate to “inflate” the total installed power to get the estimates closer.
I verified azimuth and declination (210 & 37) as well as lat/long.
What am I missing??

Still new to Z wave but I have one device working already, integration was painless. Now looking at the HomeSeer HSM200 mulitsensor - does it work directly with the Z-wave JS integration?
I’d assume it would, but I also see a "Homeseer: integration so I’m wondering if there’s something unique about Homeseer. Or is the Homesser integration just for the hub?

I installed insteon-mqtt & mosquitto as add-ons in HA Supervised running in Debian VM on a Mac Mini.
They appear to be communicating, but I do see one error when Insteon-mqtt starts:
The WebSocket transport is not available, you must install a WebSocket server that is compatible with your async mode to enable it. See the documentation for details. (further occurrences of this error will be logged with level INFO)
Whatever I try, I can’t seem to get a command from Insteon-mqtt to work. It seems like they run up against a brick wall and timeout. Is the error above causing this?

My setup is this: I have installed HassOS in a VirtualBox vm running on Ubuntu 20.04 (following the installation instructions on the Home-assistant.io website). This works fine.
However, I would like to be able to use the terminal interface on the host machine without opening another port in my router. In other words, I want to use HA’s SSL access with 2factor authentication for security, and use it to perform commands on the host machine.
Is this even possible? If so, how do I do it?
I would also like to access URL’s on the host machine, and have enabled the browser integration in my configuration.yaml file. However, I get no response when I call the service in developer tools. I am presuming that the HassOS does not include a ‘default browser’ which the browser integration expects.
Is there a way of installing one?
I would appreciate any help.

I am having trouble converting Celsius to Fahrenheit with my Mitsubishi minisplit via MQTT. I am using the library GitHub - gysmo38/mitsubishi2MQTT: Mitsubishi to MQTT with ESP8266 module on an ESP8266 D1 Mini chip.
I receive the following MQTT topic:
Topic: HVAC/HVAC_dining_room/state
{
"roomTemperature": 22.5,
"temperature": 21,
"fan": "AUTO",
"vane": "AUTO",
"action": "cooling",
"mode": "cool"
}
No matter what I set the system unit to (either metric or imperial), the temperature does not change on the thermostat panel in love lace (only the C or F symbol changes). I also tried the community addon simple-thermostat but this also does not change apart from the symbol showing differently.
I have tried both of the following code blocks separately in my configuration.yaml (with reloading the configuration files) but neither does anything:
climate:
- platform: mqtt
name: "hvac_dining_room"
unit_of_measurement: "°F" #also tried °C
sensor:
- platform: mqtt
name: "temperature"
state_topic: "HVAC/HVAC_dining_room/"
force_update: true
unit_of_measurement: "°F" #also tried °C
I apologize if there is an obvious answer. I am still trying to learn Home Assistant and am having a great amount of trouble with this. Thank you for any help!
