Hello,

In Holland we have a ‘smart’ energy device which enables us to read data like current/peak usage of your electricity and gas. There is a P1 port on the device which we can use to read the data from.

I’ve noticed that there is software available for the raspberry pi (P1 Monitor) to collect this information.
I want to know if it’s possible to connect my Hassio machine to the P1 monitor so I can also display the data on my Hassio VM.

Does someone has a solution for this?
Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Rick

Hi all,

I try to set some input_boolean to “on” when certain input_select option is activated, and I want the previously active input_boolean to be turned of.

I wrote the following code and it parses fine, but no input_booleans get turned on.

help appreciated!

Been using HA for a year or so, updated recently to 0.105.3 (maybe coincidence) and now getting regular “Login attempt failed” from the PC on which I run the browser connected to HA.

I am logging in with saved credentials, not entering any. HA is working fine, I can connect fine. The exact message is:

2020-02-16 11:17:17 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.http.ban] Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from 192.168.130.41

HA is not exposed externally. There’s nothing unusual running on my PC.

It is also possible that an update to Chrome or windows may have been involved, both are fully up to date, but the timing of the 105 updates is the best match to when it started (though I went through each subversion and not sure on which it started). I have been unable to find any particular thing I do to cause it – I am making relatively minor configuration changes, setting up different camera types for streaming, cleaning up some unused entities, etc. Purposely going into a bunch of options to try to cause it has no effect. It does not seem to happen when I am not actively using it (vs it just sitting there logged in).

HA is in Hassio on a VM on a different server and subnet, and this does not correspond to reboots or restarts there.

Anyone else seeing these? Any ideas?

Sadly it is maybe 2-3 times a day max, making it harder to pin down. If it’s not something known I’ll start a sniffer trace and just let it run until it happens again, though unfortunately all that will show are packets, not what originated them on the PC.

How to use the snapshot url provided by motionEye?
I get this:

http://192.168.2.253:8123/api/hassio_ingress/<random text>/picture/1/current/?_username=admin&_signature=<random text>

Using it works on the same browser where I’m logged in to home assistant. But if I try incognito or telegram notify I get 401 access error. I tried the example here following the user and password but does not work either. Same 401 error. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/telegram/#photo-support

How to get the snapshot using this?

Hi
I am wondering if (for extra security reasons) there is a way to to have an extra password before I enter in HA frontend. (like a 6-8 code, not my credentials

I am thinking what if someone stole my laptop, or my mobile. (I have the companion app)
How do you handle this in general?

• a little out of topic of HA but I am also looking for a secure cloud service in order to keep valuable info as secure as possible. Do you have any recommendations?

For example I tried a few services like tresorist dropbox etc… and in windows environment the folder is is available to anyone have access to my laptop.

But I have that defined in my configuration.yaml file

I’m new at HomeAssistant and have no idea what I’m doing wrong here…
Any solutions?

Hopefully I am not creating a duplicate topic here but have searched for a few days now with no luck (maybe I am not using the correct terms).

I am using a picture-elements card to show the floorplan of the house. After I updated to .105 I started to have a problem with a shadow showing up around the last icon I clicked on. It will go away if I click elsewhere.

20200216_1344311160×973 213 KB

I have tried different devices(pc,ipad,android phone), browsers(chrome,firefox) and the android app. Results are the same.

I have tried different icons. Results are the same.

This is the same for both of my home assistant setups. One is running HA (hassio) on a raspberry pi 2 for the shop. The other is running HA (hassio) on ubuntu/docker for the house.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thank you for your help!

I use Home Assistant coupled with App Daemon for the automations.

I currently have automations of the style “30 minutes before sunset, switch on the lights in the living room”. The drawback is that the details are hard-coded: it is always 30 minutes, and every week day.

If I want to change either of these conditions (the number of minutes, or the fact that the automation runs) I have to edit my App Daemon code.

To solve this, I wanted to add to Home Assistant

• an input for the minutes
• a binary input for the execution or not of the automation
• relevant entries in the UI to switch / update them.

and query them from App Daemon to adjust the automation details.

It did not work

This is how I added the inputs:

# configuration/sensor/automated_light.yaml
# this is parsed because configuration.yaml has 
# sensor: !include_dir_merge_list configuration/sensor/ 
input_number:
  minutes_before_sunset:
    name: minutes avant coucher du soleil
    initial: 30
    min: 0
    step: 5
    mode: box

input_datetime:
  shut_off_lights_when:
    name: extinction des lumières
    has_date: false
    has_time: true

input_boolean:
  shut_off_lights:
    name: extinction des lumières
    initial: on
    icon: mdi:car
  switch_on_lights:
    name: allumage des lumières
    initial: on

and the relevant part in ui-lovelace.yaml

- entities:
    - sensor.minutes_before_sunset
    - sensor.shut_off_lights
    - sensor.shut_off_lights_when
    - sensor.switch_on_lights
    title: Automatisation des lumières
    type: entities

This gives on the dashboard:

and I cannot find any of the inputs in Development Tools / States

What is the correct way to add such entries?

Hello Automaters,

I have a PIR sensor which when motion is detected it switches on 2 lights, then after 2 mins of not detecting movement the lights switch off which is covered by the 2 automations below.
I also have a seperate routine activated by saying

“OK Google, turn on upstairs lights”

part that routine switches on the same 2 lights.

The problem I am experiencing is when i have activated the lights via Google i want them to stay on but when the PIR senses motion, two minutes later the lights switch off.
From what i have read in forums and HA Integrations , a boolean input may help but i have no idea where to start to be honest and I wonder if anyone can help with a bit of code to start me off.

My HA automation is as follows which works fine.

- id: 'xxxxx'
  alias: Turn on upstairs lights when there is movement
  description: ''

  - entity_id: binary_sensor.sonoff_pir_2
    platform: state

Thanks all, please prod and poke me if you need further information.

I noticed that Home Assistant’s startup freezes at one point, and then resumes. I guess it is one of the components slowing it down.

How to debug this?

The freeze is not a big deal because Home assistant works great after starting up. I would however prefer to pin-point the culprit because this may mean other problems (DNS resolution for instance) which need to be fixed.

Hi all

I have an Ikea Tradfri switch in one of my that I am in the process of setting up as a volume up/down controller for the Sonos ceiling speaker in that room. I have the following automation which works:

# Automation to handle Sonos Control by Bathroom Switch
- id: '1237'

      event: 2002
  action:
    - service: media_player.volume_down
      entity_id: media_player.bathroom

Unfortunately, it takes a million button presses to make any meaninful difference to the volume level. The media_player volume_up/down methods do not seem to have any configuration for sensitivity. I was wondering what the best way of achieving this would be. Putting it in a script seems a bit messy and I would rather keep it in the YAML. Am I able to loop the action maybe so one button press triggers 5-10 volume up commands?

Any help much appreciated.

Good Morning,
Im evaluating to buy a Rasperry PI4 + Home Assistant in order to manage my Xiaomi Home Getway and devices (e.g., water leaks sensor and others) in a better way than the Xiaomi Home App.

The gateway version 272 with firmware 1.4.1_175.0220. Questions:

1. Is it possible? on the app, under “about” on the hub menu > i see a “wireless communication protocol” menu where i can enable the “wireless communication protocol” and see a password. (Lumi Hub Communication protocol). Can u confirm me ? So is feasble?
2. Using HA is possible for example in case of alarm from a leak sensor receive an email?

It looks like it is registered only once in ./.storage/core.entity_registry. I have stopped HA, deleted core.* files and restarted HA → the output above is after that operation. (switch_9 is the same).

These names used to exist a long time ago (more than just these two) but are long gone and not present in any configuration.

Is this a bug?
