Total noob here. Testing HA via Synology on a point-and-click docker install. I’m going through the HomeKit installation and I’ve gotten the QR codes, however, I hit “dismiss” on some of them accidentally. How do I view my previous notifications (specifically the ones with the QR codes, but the general question stands)?

I’m trying to get any of my camera to stream to a Nest Hub with no luck. I’ve selected Arlo cams, Wyze cam, and Nest Hello (doorbell) with same results in automation. I can view them fine in frontend, so I know it’s not the camera’s picture.

I have tried to install lovelace-layout-card using the HACS install from a custom repository as I cannot find it anywhere on the system. I enter in the repository field:
For the category I choose Lovelace. Click on [Add] and get:
Well I cannot find it anywhere and every time I try anything from the various pages I get the error “Custom element doesn’t exist:”
My directory structure looks like:
Note NO local folder. config/www/community I have:
I’m not seeing errors that seem to say I am using it wrong. All the errors are “Custom element doesn’t exist:”
So it reports it exist in the “store”, yet I search and it’s not found? What do they mean by “the store”?

Would someone be kind enough to look over this automaiton?
The lights come on, some on at the requested brightness, others at full. The double plug switch option never comes on. The lights do not turn off after any amount of time, I have to manually turn them off.

Hi,
First of all Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it!
These forums have helped me a numerous times, but I can’t seem to find a solution for my current problem. I’m starting to think that I’m overthinking something, so just tell me if this is the case.
I have a LED strip connected to an arduino nano, which has mysensors (fastled library) sketch flashed. The arduino is connected to a Pi with a USB cable. Pi is running HA in a python venv. This works fine.
I also have mqttstatestream set up so I can control all my HAs running a separate Pis (one per each room)
mqttstatestream in general also works fine.
I can turn the LED strip on/off, can set the color. The issue is only with setting the brightness of the LED strip from the master HA.
Now the code:
Light config on the master HA:
- platform: mqtt

command_topic: "beosztottak/szulotv/mqttstates/light/tklampa_0_15/set_status"

and the config for the MQTT sensors set up on the slave:

- platform: template
sensors:
sen_tk_lampa_brght_korr:
value_template: '{{ ((states("sensor.tk_lampa_set_percent") | float / 255) * 100) | round(0) }}'
I know that the other automations are not needed for the issue, I just pasted them to show that I’m trying to do something similar to them.
I think I understand the issue: HA is sending a value between 0-255 and the V_PERCENTAGE in mysensors is a 0-100 value.
I have found some posts regarding similar issues, that’s where I’ve got the formula form for sen_tk_lampa_brght_korr, but none of them seems to help me.
What I know until now.
The only thing I don’t understand is why doesn’t the value change in sen_tk_lampa_brght_korr change the brightness of the LEDs.
I’m not sure if any logs are needed in this case, because in general things work, so it’s only my way of thinking that needs to be adjusted…
Thanks for the help!

There are strange things going on… Just to make it easier, I reduced a script to makes this test.
Here is the simple script
alias: 'Switch : Airco float'
fields:
temperature:

example: 21
sequence:

tap_action:
action: call-service
service: script.switch_airco_float

Replacing the 20 degrees by a helper gives me an error about “float expecting” ?

Hi there,
I have a pulse counter connected to an rpi zero which sends its values via MQTT to home assistant running on another hardware component. The MQTT messages look like this:
{
"fields": {
"nstime": 1640676204429749500,
"pulse": 3911667,
"uptime": 11280557.66
},
"name": "s0meter",
"tags": {
"host": "s0pi",
"path": "/home/pi/s0readings/sensorlog-current.txt"
},
"timestamp": 1640676204
}
The ‘nstime’ and ‘pulse’ fields are the most important ones:
This gives me energy, not power. According to Pulse counter to current usage I should be able to use the derivative component (Derivative - Home Assistant) to calculate power.
However, I have the impression the derivative function will use the time that HA received the MQTT message. This is incorrect in my case: it should use the epoch mentioned in the MQTT message (nstime).
Is there a way to calculate the power manually, using e.g. a template? I guess it should be something like:
W = 1Wh / ( epoch(last_pulse) - epoch(previous_pulse) / 3600 )

What are at the moment the options to show the water usage in a chart for a selectable period?
I know that there are some discussions about adding it to the Engery Dashboard. But for what I have seen so far is that is not added at this time.

Hi,
I was used to set my windows as Covers in exporting entities to alexa through Nabu Casa.
I see here: Link display entities categories changed (I believe).
I suspect this is more due to Alexa/Amazon than Nabu Casa itself, but I was wondering what is the right category now for “windows”.

Hi Team,
In the event that one of the family are interstate I’d like to exclude them from the map view so that I can get a more meaningful view of who is in the same city. I’ve been fumbling through the code and thought that putting “fitZones: false” in the config might do the trick but no luck. I’m now wondering if my best bet is to do this using leaflet javascript after the fact.
Before I go too far down the road does anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
Dim

Hello,
I want to setup a “virtual” sensor that is the difference between two measured temperatures that I would use for controlling a circulation pump in my heating system.
What I would like to do is ad sensor A that presents a temperature that is sensor X – sensor Y as an example.
Believe it or not I have tried to search for an answer but haven’t been able to find it.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Kind regards,
Fredrik Mörner

I have created a multiline-if template sensor that combines few other sensor values and generates a human friendly ouput for the status of my heat pump.
The template sensor is defined like this:
template:
- sensor:
- name: "Nilan_CompactP"
state: >
{% if is_state('binary_sensor.nilan_compactp_compressorstate', 'off') %}
off
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.nilan_compactp_deicingheatexchanger', 'on') or is_state('binary_sensor.nilan_compactp_deicingheatpump', 'on') %}
defrosting
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.nilan_compactp_heatvalve', 'on') and is_state('binary_sensor.nilan_compactp_fourwayvalve', 'off') %}
heating
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.nilan_compactp_heatvalve', 'on') and is_state('binary_sensor.nilan_compactp_fourwayvalve', 'on') %}
cooling
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.nilan_compactp_hotwatervalve', 'on') and is_state('binary_sensor.nilan_compactp_fourwayvalve', 'off') %}
hot water production
{% else %}
unknown
{% endif %}
state_class: measurement
The sensor itself works OK, meaning that it outputs the correct string value. The issue is with the history card in the GUI - it wants to plot a chart, but obviously fails since there are no numeric values.
I would like to have a discrete history chart, similar to the weather integration:
Question: How can I define a custom “enum” for my sensor?

Hi, probably the solution is simple, but cannot figure this out, how to prevent many error messages.
I read a JSON from a REST sensor, and merge them in multiple sensors and binary_sensors.
Sometimes the REST fails, and the sensor will give “unavailable” for all other sensors and binary_sensors.
When this happens, the log is flooded with errors;

I want to use the Zigbee2MQTT addon. This addon is not visible in the Add-on store, neither in the Official add-ons nor in the Home Assistant Community Add-ons. I can add it by coupling a repository in Github, but why is it not available in the Add-on Store? Is it in beta, or not yet certified or is there a different reason why it is not in the Add-on Store? A comparable add-on for Z-Wave is available in the Add-on store, so why not for Zigbee?

Automation for humidifier
I suggest that those who are not indifferent share their options for automating the humidifier, sensors, and also share cards. Each of us can do something interesting and your idea may be useful.
Smartmix Evaporative Humidifier Humidifier added through this integration xiaomi airpurifier
My automation option is like this. I am using a humidity sensor and have created an auxiliary number element for the target humidity. I made a difference between them so that the fan speed was adaptive and depended on the difference between the humidity sensor and the auxiliary number element. Thus, if the room humidity and the target humidity will have more than the specified, then the fan speed will be high, but as the difference between the humidity sensor and the auxiliary number element decreases, the fan speed will decrease, and when the specified humidity reaches, the speed will be minimal.

Hello.
We will deal with this aroma diffuser.
I have successfully loaded the tasmota firmware. There is no problem here.
However, the moment I started configuring the device and Tasmota, the problems began.
I set up the Tasmota template, and I found that there was an error in it.
{"NAME":"YX-088","GPIO":[0,2272,0,2304,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],"FLAG":0,"BASE":54,"CMND":"TuyaMCU 11,1|TuyaMCU 61,2|TuyaMCU 62,3|TuyaMCU|12,5|TuyaMCU 63,6|TuyaMCU 21,7|TuyaMCU 24,8|TuyaRGB 3|DimmerRange 1,255|TuyaEnumList 1,2|TuyaEnumList 2,2|TuyaEnumList 3,1"}`
There is one vertical character " | " In the command :
TuyaMCU|12,5
I fixed that and continued.
I put Rule1 in the tasmota console with my own specific /%topic%/

I also noticed %value% in two lines
I left it unnoticed
Label web UI buttons:

OK, I thought.
But I started configuring the fan in Home Assistant and found other writing errors

And here is my end.
Home Assistant hardly communicates with the diffuser.
In fact, it communicates, but insufficiently. I can choose any combination of preset and speed and send it to the diffuser, but the attributes of the fan entity never change.
I intended to use a fan card in the hunt, but it doesn’t work.
Please nice, would anyone be willing to check the configuration and compatibility for HA?
The author of the template does not communicate.
I’m sorry, and I ask for help again.
