Hi there.
I got a question if it is possible to set a button, which will navigate directly to specified subfolder in Media Browser.
My simple button now is:
type: button
tap_action:
action: navigate
navigation_path: media-browser/local/local/cameras/recordings
but this will only redirect me into Media Browser root folder.

Hi everyone,
I have been trying out multiple ways to do notifications, especially so that they go thru while my iPhone/iPad is on a ‘Focus’ i.e. DND, Sleep, Working etc.
I know that I can get notifications thru as critical notifications and that works fine. However I am looking for a way to also get ‘Alerts’ thru which they don’t by default.
I setup the alert below and it generally works. I added a notifier group with my iPhone and the same settings that allow a normal notification to become a critical notification, in hopes that this would work here too. Unfortunately it does not. The check tells me that my config is fine but after restart the alert will not run (it was running before fine as normal alert).
# Alert
alert:
test_alert:
name: Test Alert
message: Door is opened
done_message: Door is closed
entity_id: binary_sensor.door
state: "on"
repeat: 1
can_acknowledge: true
skip_first: false
notifiers:
- my_iphone_critical
# Notify
notify:
- name: my_iphone_critical
platform: group
services:
- service: mobile_app_iphone
data:
push:
sound:
name: "default"
critical: 1
volume: 1.0
Anyone has any idea how to fix this?
Thanks!

Just wondering if there’s any way to set an automation to run a certain action depending on the contentions.
For example I have a Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Nightlight setting for each room and a button to turn them on in the room, also the Living Room comes on automatically when we get home.
This means I have to have a different automation for each button for morning, afternoon, evening and night and then another load for when we get home.
What I what to do is basically say:
If I push the button in the living room OR come home
THEN IF it’s morning activate the Living Room Morning scene
ELSE IF it’s afternoon activate the Living Room Afternoon scene
ELSE IF it’s evening activate the Living Room Evening scene
ELSE If it’s nighttime activate the Living Room Night Scene.
I’ve setup an input select to define what I want Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Night to be.
I don’t want them triggering just by time as I have other scenes (such as a movie scene) that I will activate sometimes.
I’d be greatful for any help becasue I’m going to have a never ending list of automations at this rate and figured I must be going about this the wrong way.

Hello !
I have an Aqara wall swich H1 EU(lumi.switch.l2aeu1) and I can use it with ZHA to switch on or off the bulb.
But I don’t find any ways to active the decoupled mode that permit controlling remotely any device, like a double press to close the curtain for example, I don’t want to cut the power at all.
It works well with aquara app and hub, but can’t find any documentation about this for ZHA.
On Zigbee2MQTT documentation here, I can’t see that Operation_mode permit to choose to use the normal mode(cut the power when switch off) or the decoupled mode(just fire event when clicks). And I see they also have an action trigger that allows to know if it is a single click, double click…
Does someone have some insight or has succeeded in using decoupled mode ?
Thanks in advance for your help !

Long time reader, first time poster so hopefully I’ve put this in the right place.
I’m currently writing some automations/scripts using Amazon Echo devices. I’m wondering if anyone has found a work around to them making a ‘beep’ when setting the volume using media_player.volume_set service.
I’ve tried muting using media_player.volume_mute just prior and just after setting the volume with media_player.volume_set, but this doesn’t have the desired effect.
I’ve had a look in the Amazon forums as well and also not come up with anything so I’m thinking it’s probably something I’ll have to live with. But I thought it was worth asking the question on here to see if someone had come up with a solution.

Hi.
I am struggling with automation and sending datetime to my KNX bus. It looks like HA want send datetime when I setup an automation.
This is working fine in configuration.yaml:
knx:
expose:
type: 'datetime'
address: '3/0/0'
But when i try to do this with an automation, it says that datetime is not a valid option for type:. Like this in automation.yaml:
alias: Send date and time to knx bus
description: Send date and time to knx bus
trigger:
- platform: time_pattern
seconds: /10 # set to 10 seconds for testing
condition: []
action:
- service: knx.exposure_register
data:
address: 3/0/0
type: datetime # does not like this line.
entity_id: automation.Send date and time to knx bus
mode: single
Have tried everything.
Here is the message from tracing:
Stopped because an error was encountered at 10 January 2022, 01:52:42 (runtime: 0.01 seconds)
not a valid value for dictionary value @ data[‘type’]

Hello,
I have 3 FGFS101 flood sensors with firmware 26.26. I had these integrated on my prior ozw integration without issues. They reported 3 values, a flood sensor, tamper sensor and temperature. I recently upgrated to the new zwavejs integration with the zwavejs2mqtt control page.
on my zwavejs2mqtt control panel i am seeing multiple sensors, including the temperature but on the zwave integration entities the temperature seems to drop to unavailable. it was previously working with updated temps every 5 minutes on the ozw network.
not sure why, but im wondering is this an openzwave vs zwavejs difference causing the drop of the temp readings? any way to recover the temperature readings?
thanks

I use Lutron Caseta integration. I would like to use the brightness attribute from Lutron and and have a Tasmota light follow the brightness. I currently have the Tasmota light turning on to a set brightness though Node Red. I can’t figure out how to do this through Node Red or a config template. Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve done some searching, but I can’t find a clear answer on how to resolve this. I have a dozen super common GE EmBrighten Z-Wave switches. #46203 is the specific one I am looking at. The device database is missing several of the parameters for the switch. How can I add these?

Hi,
I have a movie scene that turns all the light around the living room, and puts the TV into movie mode.
I also want to close the living room covers but only if it’s during the day. how can I accomplish this using a scene? (I don’t want an automation that choses between scenes I just want to manually activate the scene)

Hi all,
I’m trying to make my first template sensor and I keep getting errors, not sure what my issue is after reading through the template documentation. Trying out the code in the template section of the developer tools it seems to work, but every time I put it in my config file I get an error (error text below the code)
template:
- sensor:
- name: "Minutes until next alarm on Pixel 6"
state: "{{((as_timestamp(states('sensor.pixel_6_next_alarm')) - as_timestamp(now()))/60)|int}}"
- sensor:
- name: "Average upstairs temp"
state: >
{% set bedroom = states('sensor.lumi_lumi_weather_temperature') | float %}
{% set office = states('sensor.office_temperature') | float %}
{{((bedroom + office) / 2) | round(1, default=0) }}
And this is the error that I keep getting from HA:
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Setup:
An entity of ‘person.name’ has an attribute of ‘source’
The value of ‘source’ is the name of a ‘device_tracker_XYZ’ entity
The entity ‘device_tracker_XYZ’ has an attribute of ‘last_seen’
I’m trying to create a template that will compare the last_seen value to current date/time with the only given knowledge of ‘person.name’.
I’m completely at a loss here.

I am trying to understand how to use a “wall switch” in HS. It is a GoControl WA00Z-1. The instructions say to "Put your controller in ASSOCIATION mode with Group 2 or Group 3. I have not found any way to do this in HS. The device shows up only as battery condition entities. Nothing that looks like an on/off device.

Hi guys,
i have an issue, that hacs is not visible in addons/integrations.
I was able to install it via SSH, and files with all the folders structure are there.
Tried restart both: HA os and Raspberry itself. Nothing helped. Tried couple of browsers (for sure cleared caches), but still nothing.
Running on Raspberry Pi 4b, HA OS 7.1.
Tried on Virtual machine as well.
Tried with older versions, still the same…
Any ideas what else could I try? 
Without hacs I do not see any further possibilities using HA at all.
Thank you in advance.

Hi guys,
I just installed the Nginx Proxy Manager add-on and configured everything. I also successfully retrieved an SSL certificate by Let’s Encrypt.
When I’m now trying to access my HA frontend (on a PC), my login fails with a notification on my other devices, that a Login attempt failed (I’m in an VPN with that iPhone):
My entered username and password are correct. The problem occurs after entering my OTP (2FA with Google Authenticator); “Neu anfangen” means “Start again”:
My configuration is as follows:
Router
Forwarding
Port 80 ext to 80 int
Port 443 ext to 443 int
Nginx Proxy Manager Add-on
configuration.yaml
Can anyone please tell me why I can’t login anymore?

I only use it for how long it will take my wife to drive from home to work - a route she takes everyday and we know roughly how long it takes just on experience alone. I thought the integration would come in handy as delays due to traffic and/or accidents tend to occur mostly around this time of year. From the very start, Waze added 20 minutes on top of her usual journey, so we assumed that there must’ve been an accident or traffic jam that day, but it seems to just regularly add 20 minutes to her regular travel time somehow.
I’ve been playing around with the icloud3 integration which uses waze as well, but they have a waze_realtime option that shows a far more accurate representation of the time it takes to get to and from the location. The waze phone app also aligns more with the icloud3 representation which suggests that the waze travel time integration is either using a different route or non-realtime data (or both).
I do live in an area where there isn’t an abundance of waze users, so I am wondering if that plays a bit of a role as well, so I’m curious to know how accurate this integration has been for the rest of the community and if there was an option to switch to real-time data as well because I cannot seem to find that in the documentation so far.

Hi folks,
I have a DSC Power Series Alarm, with an Envisalink card plugged into it. All works great apart from one item. In lovelace, I cannot disarm the alarm. It allows me to arm the alarm for home or away modes, but the button to disarm does not do anything.
Below is my configuration.yaml
envisalink:
host:
panel_type: DSC
user_name: !secret envisalink-username
password: !secret envisalink-pwd
keepalive_interval: 60
code: !secret envisalink-code
timeout: 10
evl_version: 4
zones:
and below is my lovelace configuration for the alarm panel
entity: alarm_control_panel.home_alarm
show_keypad: true
states:
- arm_home
- arm_away
type: alarm-panel
Even though show_keypad is set to true, i think because I have given the integration a code to use with the alarm, it does not show the keypad.
Any ideas?
