Hi, I have a couple of Arlo cams in Home Assistant, configured with Arlo, and most of it works fine. Except live video. I added:
type: picture-entity
entity: camera.aarlo_doorbell
camera_view: live
tap_action:
action: toggle
hold_action:
action: more-info
And it shows a loop of the latest recorded video, not a live stream. What am I missing?

Hi!
I started to use the Folder Sensor, in order to see and “run” the files from lovelace, but… the problem is that the files are shown in a very strange way. There is any solution to sort the files by name, extension, filesize, anything?
Thank you!

So today i have installed a Shelly 1L and I have realized it does a “fake” power metering by entering the expected consumption and incrementing it over time when the relay is on. I think this could be replicated in ESPHome as well, where with simple relays/light switches I would input the approximate consumption based on the device specs. and it would calculate the total consumption for the energy dashboard.
Does anybody have a template that could be utilized for this purpose?

Current State: hot water furnace with 4 zones (3 living spaces, 1 domestic hot water), three thermostats integrated with HA)
Objective: Minimize furnace run time by coordinating zone heating
Before I go “build” something, I’d like to understand approaches other have used.
Current Concept - I would specify one zone as the “primary zone”, this is the zone where I want the thermostat to do its job of maintaining the temperature at its setpoint. When that zone activates, I would increase the setpoints of the other zones by 1 degree (for starters). That should cause the other zones to turn on if they are already close to their threshold. Once the primary zone has completed its heating cycle. I would return the other zones to their original setpoints (e.g. 1 degree less) either immediately or after a delay or after they complete their cycle.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Examples?

Hi, I have this script to turn on TV and play a random episode of a kid’s TV show. For whatever reason, it just turns the TV back off immediately.
alias: Turn on TV and play Cicimys
sequence:
- service: media_player.turn_on
target:
entity_id: media_player.samsungtv
- delay:
hours: 0
minutes: 0
seconds: 1
milliseconds: 0

- service: media_player.volume_set
target:
entity_id: media_player.samsungtv
data:
volume_level: 0.09
mode: single
icon: mdi:animation-play
I tried tracing it: I see Turn on TV and play Cicimys (script.turn_on_tv_and_play_cicimys) turned off - what is doing this last step? When I go to “Step details”, the last step is the volume, correct and as expected. Logbook says just “Turn on TV and play Cicimys turned off”.
I have no issues turning the TV on/off from HA/Lovelace.
Please help.

Hi, Community!
Devices, which are discovered by the Hue Bridge are accessed via the HA Hue integration.
Is there a way to “see” devices in Home Assistant if they are discovered by the Zigbee Hub, which comes with Amazon Echo (like Echo Studio)?
I’ve discovered two IKEA bulbs with the Alexa app, and I can control them both vie the app but they do not pop-up in Home Assistant.
Is there any additional step I need to take?
Thanks!

Home Assistant 2021.12.6 running in Docker on Unraid.
After successfully adding my and the wife‘s Spotify account via the Spotify integration, I fail to do so with my children‘s accounts.
What I did:
added all the Users (wife + 2 children) in my Spotify developer dashboard. We are all in the same spotify family.
added the cookie information (sp_key etc.) to configuration.yaml/secrets.yaml (don‘t know if this is important for the Spotify integration or only for spotcast)
tried to add children‘s accounts via Spotify integration → Nabu Casa method
→ resulted in spinner, then aborted and the logs give me the „max retries reached“ error.
when using the configuration.yaml method, it fails with the wrong URI, although I added all the possible URLs to my developer dashboard and tried it from my internal dns entry, internal IP or nabucasa url. All are added to the developer dashboard.
Currently I came to an end on how I might successfully accomplish adding the accounts because I think I tried all possible combinations with no success.
So posting here is my last option 
This is the exact error:
Logger: spotipy.client
Source: /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/spotipy/client.py:276
First occurred: 16:34:10 (1 occurrences)

Is anyone else finding the new smart start functionality in ZWaveJS a little finicky? I’ve been using it and it definitely makes adding new devices a lot easier especially when trying to establish the security (Man did I hate typing in the DSK and not getting it in within the 30sec). However sometimes the camera will detect the QR code right away an other times it just doesn’t focus at all on the QR code.
Is anyone else struggling with the Camera not focusing?

Hi so I have just successfully setup google calendar with home assistant and now I want to use my best mini to read out the calendar events for example if I have an event at 2 pm I won’t the neat mini to tell me 30 mins, 10 mins and at the time of the event that I have the event out loud without me triggering a voice command I am aware that best mini already does this but to my knowledge I have to trigger a command for it to work and thats not automated then right so if someone can help me it will be a great help

Hello,
I read a lot of documentation and blogs online, and so far I find it hard to grasp the basics of templating, blueprint and so one. I guess this is the normal learing curve.
Here is what I’d like to achieve thru automation. I’m using Restfull as discribed here Restfull and would like to dynamically send the state of the trigger that fired the event (in that case disarmed, arming, or triggered) and the name of the entity as well as the entity id that triggered the alarm. How could this be done?
The payload I am expecting to build is something like:
{“triggerCondition”: “{{ ??? }}”,“entityName”: “{{ ??? }}”,“entityID”: “{{ ??? }}”}
As a side question the only way I found so far to update the rest_command that is sitting in configuration.yaml is to restart the server. Is there an alternative way?
Thank you very much in advance to help me on this matter.

Hi everyone,
I’m using Frigate on my external camera and i have the following problem: i masked the image to show and detect only my garden with driveway and i set two zones: “aiuola” (flowerbed) and “giardino” (garden) leaving away the driveway. My idea was: only people and cats to be detected, threshold 0.65 by default and threshold 0.8 in the garden and the flowerbed to avoid false positives (as sometimes it detects plants as people).
I tried to implement those threshold in my configuration file but apparently something does not work as i still receive false positives with % below 80%, where am i wrong?

I recently installed the new HA Tuya Integration, October 2021 (not HACS) and everything worked like a dream. I’ve since updated HA to Version 2021.12.6 with Supervisor Version 2021.12.2 and all of my devices are recognised by Tuya, but are listed as ‘Unsupported’ with all the entities missing.
Anyone experiencing the same issue or has a fix, or is this a Tuya issue?

Hi,
I have multiple Nanoleaf Ivy bulbs + 2 other color bulbs setup in Deconz/Phoscon running in docker on a Synology NAS (conbee II stick).
All those bulbs are working perfectly if I use the Deconz/Phoscon web interface to change the status/color/brightness but under HA it’s not working well!
The status of the bulbs are not correct and I cannot choose the colors for the 2 color bulbs.
I’m using the deconz integration which detects all the bulbs but apparently they are not configured correctly inside HA.
Do you have any idea how I could fix it? I updated the conbee II firmware, restarted multiple times my deconz and HA, same result.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
This is my first request, so I hope I’ve given all the right info, but will come back with more if I’m missing some.
I’m running Home Assistant 2021.12.6, Frontend version: 20211227.0 - latest, as a Docker on a Synology DS1817+ running DSM6.X. I updated to this version from 2021.10.something, and had to spend an hour or two fixing various integrations that didn’t work. Somewhere along the line it seems that my dashboard now doesn’t respond to entity updates after 10 minutes or so of inactivity.
It was fine before, and always updated immediately that something was changed. First sign that something is wrong now is that, upon restarting, the dashboard displays the usual “Home Assistant is starting…” message, but these never go away - even once it’s all booted up fine. Only a browser refresh clears them and the normal dashboard appears. Similarly, immediately after a refresh, if I update a light from elsewhere (ie a physical switch), it will update immediately on the dashboard. Wait 10 minutes and try the same thing and the entity does not update. Refresh, try again and it’s fine. 10 minutes or so later and the same problem. That happens with lights, input booleans, anything that gets an external state change.
Because so much has changed at once I do not know whether this is an issue with the version I’m running, or whether it is something to do with various tinkering i’ve done to integrations to get other bits and pieces to work.
I don’t have any errors in my logs, (other than warnings about TuyaLocal integration), and there are no errors in my Developer Console once the dashboard is loaded correctly. Makes me think it is a fundamental issue with this version of HA but I haven’t seen any mention of it elsewhere.
This version of HA was the one that is classed as “latest” in the docker registry, so am assuming it is fine?
I am seeing the same behaviour on two different mac computers using chrome, as well as on fully kiosk from a Fire HD 10.
Does anyone know where I should start to get his working?

This one is driving me nuts and can’t figure it out…
I have an option to remove a device (go into Exclusion mode) but I don’t have an option for adding a device (going into Inclusion mode).
Any ideas?
