Hello everybody!
I have an Android TV and a doorbird video intercom. i wish that when someone rings, everything shows on my tv exactly like on the phone but unfortunately there is no doorbird app on android tv. Has anyone done something like this before? Do you have any ideas to make this possible?
I thank you in advance 
Cordially,
Raz

Hello,
I have created buttons in HA that are associated to a MQTT platform for the activation of a pool filtration pump.
button:
- platform: mqtt
name: "Pump activation"
command_topic: "CMD/PUMP"
qos: 0
retain: false
payload_press: "ON"
I have also completed the integration of Google Home in HA.
Then I have created an automation in Google Home that can successfully activate the pump with a voice command because Google home recognizes my HA buttons as actionable actions.
I would like now to create a button that could send sensor information through a voice message on Google assistant and that could be triggered by an incoming voice message recognized by my Google assistant.
I first tried with a button card on the GUI.
type: button
icon: mdi:gesture-tap-button
show_state: true
name: Test
hold_action:
action: none
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: tts.google_translate_say
service_data:
entity_id: media_player.chromecast_de_beatrice
message: >-
Le niveau de CO2 est {{ states('sensor.netatmo_maison_nancras_indoor_co2')
}} ppm ! La température extérieure est de {{
states('sensor.netatmo_maison_nancras_indoor_exterieur_temperature') }}
degré'Bonsoir: ceci est un nouvel essai..'
language: fr
target: {}
The button is working fine from HA GUI but is not recognized by home assistant as an action.
I have also tried also to declare a button inside the configuration file but didn’t find the correct syntax.
How can I declare in the configuration.yaml file, a button similar to my “MQTT” button but associated to the service “google_translate_say” and not to a MQTT topic ?

I have a sensor for my electricity price for my home. I want to check the price level and if the price is high, I will turn off the heater to my Spa (small swimming pool).
One attribute in the sensor is called “price_level”. If state is_not “very_expencive” on pric level I want the heator to be on.
I have wrote this but it don´t work.
- alias: Spa
trigger:
- platform: template
entity_id: sensor.electricity_price_rydbovagen_16
value_template: "{{ not is_state('price_level', 'very_expencive') }}" # Heater and pump starts if attribute is_not "very_expencive"
action:
service: homeassistant.turn_on
entity_id:
- switch.pump_spabad # turn on pump and heater

Hi!
Iam running Unraid server.
I run HA in VM (used JuanMTech on youtube guide to get started.
and it works fine.
i have also installed a mosquitto docker container without problems.
Now iam trying to setup a docker container with zigbee2mqtt with my conbee2 stick.
but i get this error all the time.
e[31mZigbee2MQTT:errore[39m 2022-01-16 16:27:04: Error: Error while opening serialport 'Error: Error: No such file or directory, cannot open /dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DE2475097-if00'
This is my z2m configuration file:
homeassistant: false
permit_join: false
mqtt:
base_topic: zigbee2mqtt
server: mqtt://192.168.1.243:1883
user: xxxx

channel: 11
And this is my docker settings:
What am i doing wrong?
I figured maybe when i installed the HA on the VM i choosed to passthrough my conbee2 stick to the vm so its “locked” to the VM and not usable/visable to the docker container?
If this is the case, how can i “delete” the device from the VM setting template?
This is the VM template

I have also tried using the "Libvirt Hotplug USB plugin in unraid to detach the usb stick and tried starting the zigbee2mqtt docker but with the same result.
Could this be a permission issiue or something?
Thnx in advance

I have been trying for the last week to get this working but no success.
I have 3 power monitoring plug sockets that give power in watts, I have also added 3 extra devices to show roughly the power used. I followed this guide Energy monitoring in Home Assistant - with or without power meters
The problem is that the nas and the tv do not show any energy consumption but do show power. The others do show energy but what it shows does not look right to me, not sure if I have set watts, watt-hour, kilowatt or kilowatt-hour
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I recently migrated my home assistant (core) from z-wave to z-wave.js. It was in the end not difficult but in the end it never is of course. I got information from a number of sources and grouped info on how I did it at this page. Maybe it will be useful to somebody.

I have an idea for an automation I’ve been trying to get working for a few days now:
Essentially, I’d like to trigger music from an Apple Music playlist to start playing when I enter a room. So far I have both the HA and Apple side of things working independently, but I can’t get them to talk to each other in the way I want.
To handle the playing of the music I’ve built a siri shortcut that finds my playlist, shuffles the songs, connects to my smart speakers (google minis exposed via the Aircast integration), sets the proper volume, and starts playing. Triggering this on my phone works like a charm. On the HA side, I have an input boolean to track presence in a room that is controlled by a motion sensor.
Ideally, this would be a completely hands-free automation. No voice control, no tapping on my phone. So far the closest I’ve gotten is to use a push notification that sends a shortcut service call when tapped.
I’m wondering if it’s possible to fire a Siri Shortcut without any kind of intervention from the user at all?

Hi, I use the smart hub a lot with HA… It works great… but it when it dies ( let’s hope not) , is there a good alternative with a remote where you can define also activites and custom commands with a good integration in HA?
Thnx

Hey,
I would like add my custom window opener system to homekit (arduino with mqtt). There isnt position or tilt funtion just open and close. The state can be “open, opening, close, closing”. It is working fine with home assistant, but I have two problem with homekit:
I set device_class to “window” in configuration.yaml into mqtt section, but in home app I get “shutter” icon and I cannot change it to window.
In Home app the “state” is not working fine. The HA showing all state (close, closing, open, opening), but I have only two state in Home App: “open” and “closed”.
Thank you your help!

Hi,
my setup:
HA on RPI3 with Raspberrymatic addon.
I managed to get setup running, paired new devices and got the HmIP firing up events on eventbus:
{
“event_type”: “homematic.keypress”,
“data”: {
“name”: “Remote”,
“param”: “PRESS_SHORT”,
“channel”: 1
},
“origin”: “LOCAL”,
“time_fired”: “2022-01-16T16:57:19.717826+00:00”,
“context”: {
“id”: “501ccf7ecec13b492dd27fbe5927e94f”,
“parent_id”: null,
“user_id”: null
}
}
BUT, i can’t get a automation running reacting on that event !!
I read all possible working solutions i found, but it doesn’t work for me.
My automation:
alias: wled
description: ‘’
trigger:
The action works if if try from automations window.
Perhaps someone can help me out

Hi
I have built a 3d floorplan, i would like to know how to integrate it in home assistant to display the devices in the room, lit the room when lights are on, etc…
Is there any guide about how to do this?
Thanks

Sorry to bother the community. I have HA up and running and connected to the internet via an ethernet cable. Generally I like to connect my RPI’s via wifi. I can’t seem to find how to do that. I would expect it to be under configuration, but I can’t find it.

Previously I was using the alarm type, alarm level, and some other sensors to trigger events with the old zwave integration and it seems like for some reason Zwave-js doesn’t have them. Has anyone figured out a way to get them, or a workaround?
I’m also now using keymaster for lock codes and user management and without these sensors, the functionality is much more limited.

I have an automation that is triggered by Kasa smart plug’s current consumption - basically when it goes below certain value.
The behavior I see is that sometime this automation is wrongly triggered. I looked in the trace logs and I see this:
trigger:
id: '0'
idx: '0'
platform: device
entity_id: sensor.washer_plug_current_consumption
below: 2
above: null
from_state:
entity_id: sensor.washer_plug_current_consumption
state: unavailable
attributes:
state_class: measurement
unit_of_measurement: W
friendly_name: Washer plug Current Consumption
device_class: power
last_changed: '2022-01-16T04:35:48.388935+00:00'
last_updated: '2022-01-16T04:35:48.388935+00:00'

parent_id: null
user_id: null
to_state:
entity_id: sensor.washer_plug_current_consumption
state: '0.3'
attributes:
state_class: measurement
unit_of_measurement: W
friendly_name: Washer plug Current Consumption
device_class: power
last_changed: '2022-01-16T04:36:08.376758+00:00'
last_updated: '2022-01-16T04:36:08.376758+00:00'
context:
id: 1462744b1b3bb8830e1999cdb3b547da
parent_id: null
user_id: null
So basically sometimes the smart plug is unavailable, what causes the automation to be triggered.
How can I configure the trigger so that it will basically ignore when the plug goes temporarily into unavailable state?
Thanks!

I’m still a bit confused with the long-term statistics.
Some pumps and several heating devices I’m tracking the amount of usage. For this I created some history_stats sensors. For example “stats_pump1_today” counts the amount of time the pump was running today. I would like to include these values in the long term statistics to enable to trend usage over longer periods of time. I checked the long-term statistics page but it seems there is no one for time/running time. Is it possible to enable this?
Also, the long term stats are stored in the database but discards the purge period (of course), but is it ever purged? And is it possible to trend this data with other (custom) cards, so far I only had success with the default history-stats card. I would really like an equivalent to the energy dashboard with date selectors, week/month totalizers, etc…

My HA instance gets stuck at every addon update. When I press an addon to update it gets the looping circle forever. If I refresh the page it seems that the addon updated itself. Is anyone else getting this strange behaviour ? Any ideas why ? This has begun at some point on the latest updates of HA. I am on a NUC supervised on Debian 11.

Hi,
Very strange thing is going on on my HA right now. When im reying to set a new automation and add a condition based on zone I cant find my person entity in the options list no only that can’t find my person entity, I actually can’t find any entity at all. What the hell is going on here?
The text in this screenshot is in Hebrew because I’m from Israel, but I believe you can guess what is written there

I’m trying to tie a modbus PLC into HA for monitoring inside a brewery. We’re using a Solo SL-4848. I need to be able to reset the SV (set point) if needed. According the the docs, the SV register decimal address is 44098.
But the modbus service appear to only accept 0-255) for the address. I admit I’m a complete modbus n00b.
Here’s tje base config. My testing is with the Dev tools at this point.
- name: hub3
type: serial
baudrate: 9600
bytesize: 7
method: ascii
parity: E
port: /dev/ttyUSB3
stopbits: 1
