Team,

I would like to change the background color of table headers (like the one for entities, devices, automations, scenes, scripts and more.

Why?
Default background colors:

• white: Page background
• white: Header
• white: Searchbox
• white: Table header
• white: Table content: white

For me it would be better to separate these using the background color.
Step 1 is the table header.

Most of these table headers look like this:

<div class="mdc-data-table__header-row" role="row" aria-rowindex="1">

Using the inspector I can change the CSS to include:

.mdc-data-table__header-row {
    background-color: yellow;
    <existing_rows_here>
}

So I added this to the config, but it does nothing:

frontend:
  themes:
    djstheme:
      mdc-data-table__header-row: yellow

Any idea how I could make this change?

Cheers!
DJ

Would it wait until the light was on ?

I currently have a automation set to run at 07:00 to set all lights to white, to reset all the colours from the evening before. But others may have switched these physically off.

What would happen?
What would be the best way to solve this ? Set conditions?

Thanks everyone.

Playback state and tracking all works fine, but trying to send controls from the cards results in

Failed to call service media_player/media_play_pause. ('Connection aborted.', ConnectionResetError(104, 'Connection reset by peer'))

The Plex Server reports

Request: plaintext connection from 10.14.16.21:36896 rejected because secure connections are required

Secure connections are required on the server. Any ideas why playback state would show up, but sending commands fails? I would expect both to either work or fail, given the error reported…

I want my shutters up by sunrize, but not before a certain time but also at least at this certain time.

So I did this :

alias: Rolluiken 's morgens op
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: sun
    event: sunrise
    offset: '0'
  - platform: time
    at: input_datetime.tijdstip_rolluik_morgen
condition:
  - condition: time
    after: input_datetime.tijdstip_rolluik_morgen
action:
  - service: script.rolluiken_automatisch_op
mode: single

But this means that in summer this willl cause a problem, cause when it goes off on the time of the helper the condition will never be ok (will be equal and not ‘after’).

So I have to create a template as condition, where the time of the trigger must be greater that the helper minus 1 second…but how do I do this ?

Finally have this working the way I had envisioned and hoped I could!
I am using Waze but that is somewhat beside the fact.
I tried all sorts of ways and means but this is the final working result which seems simple now!
First I created a new drop-down helper input_select.destination and preset it with Home.
Second is an automation to update the list based on Zones’ friendly names, and triggered by a state change in zones:

alias: Update Destinations
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: state_changed
condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: '{{ trigger.event.data.new_state.domain == "zone" }}'
action:
  - service: input_select.set_options
    target:
      entity_id: input_select.destination
    data:
      options: |
        {%- set ns = namespace(items=[]) -%}
        {% for entity in states.zone -%}
          {%- set ns.items = ns.items + [entity.name | trim(",")] -%}
        {%- endfor %}
        {{ ns.items }}
mode: parallel
max: 25

The other part is a Waze selectable sensor destination:

sensor:
  - name: Destination address
    unique_id: dest_address
    state: "{{ states('input_select.destination') }}"

The Home Assistant documentation on Individual Energy Sensors is quite short

How can i add Plugwise PowerPlugs as Individual Devices? I`m using a Custom Intergration named “plugwise” for the Plugwise Stick

which i installed using

cd /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/custom_components
wget https://github.com/brefra/python-plugwise/raw/master/example/plugwise_stick.zip

All zigbee motion sensors i saw so far, have like 60 secs or more cooling timeout after it registers a motion; to go from on to off. I use aqara sensors and made the hack o decrease it down to 5-10 seconds. I get it, since they are using batteries; it is wise to not register each and every motion, in order to conserve battery life.

I, on the other hand, have a commercial alarm system with an IP card, which has door/window and PIR sensors, all cabled. It is working in HA, i can see each and every move in HA. It even has a cooling timeout of liked 0.5 to 1 second. So i can make the system response according to my needs easily, instead of leaving the decision to the sensor itself.

The cabling for this alarm system is laid out in the construction time of the house, so i can not extend it to every place i like. That’s why i am using aqara sensors in some extra places. But almost all aqara locations has power outlet nearby, so i was wondering if there is any commercial or diy zigbee product that can be plugged in (USB powered?) which will have like 0.5 to 1 second cooling time. Blitzwolf has BW-IS3 which can be USB powered to recharge its battery but it still has 60 seconds cooling time…

Hi,

i’ve set up my Shelly 3em with home-assistant, and really love the information it gives me. But the “Self-consumed solar energy” is calculated wrong/different, compared to how the realy energy meter in the house works.
Maybe there is a different way to configure it correctly:

I have added each of the three phases (Energy) as a seperate entry in “Grid consumption”.
Also each of the three returns of each phase in “Return to grid”.

This gives me a per phase view/calculation. But the energy meter balances returns with consumption, only if in total there is any return it really counts.

Is there any specific settings to define this, or to i need to configure summed-up values for consumption and return to use in the energy dashboard? I quite like to be able to see each phase there.

Hey,

Soon the prices for my energy consumption and injection will change.
But now I am wondering what it will do with my history.

Will the history show the calculation with the new price?
Or will data only be stored with the new price as from the moment of the change?

I prefer the later, so I can check my final energy bill correctly

Hi all,

I am trying to integrate a Shelly 2.5 with latest stock firmware into my Home Assistant installation. The Shelly is configured to use the Home Assistant host’s IP and port 5683 as per the integration documentation:

When I try to add the Shelly integration in Home Assistant I am asked for a host. I enter the Shelly’s IP Adress assuming this is what needs to be entered there and a few seconds later I get a “Failed to connect”

There is nothing in the Home Assistant logs pointing to an error. The Shelly logs see that the Home Assistant host is connecting, but nothing happens:

135715985 mgos_http_server.c:180  0x3fff301c HTTP connection from 172.16.0.4:53252
135748966 mgos_http_server.c:180  0x3fff314c HTTP connection from 172.16.0.4:53254
135779871 mgos_http_server.c:180  0x3fff3204 HTTP connection from 172.16.0.4:53256
135899160 mgos_http_server.c:180  0x3fff3244 HTTP connection from 172.16.0.4:53258

I would be grateful for any pointers how to debug this further or fix it.

I am running Home Assistant OS 2012.12.9:

When I set my RFXTRX to “enable automatic add”, it takes about 1 week to have 200 non-existing devices in my setup.

RM174RF Smoke Detector 

Guess one of my neighbors has a device that keeps sending signals

Any idea if it’s possible to ignore a specific device from being added? (without disabling automatic add)

Hi,
I am trying to configure the Ezviz integration with my 4 cameras.
It worked for 3 of those but I have issues with the model BC1C.
It appears in the list of cameras to be configured in Home Assistant, but there is no way I can complete the configuration.
I made a few tests with VLC but apparently, there is no port 554 available.
The only way to access it is using port 8000
Can someone help please?

Hi,

I am using MariaDB on my home assistant OS to manage the database. The solaredge integration reports wrong values sometimes, so I wanted to delete this wrong value, as it messed up the overview.
However, I can not find the MariaDB file to edit it and delete this datapoint or write any script that deletes outliers.

How can I find this MariaDB file and edit it?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I have added new sensor, that takes state from “variable”
it looks like like this:

 template:
   - sensor:
       - name: "Actual Power"
         unit_of_measurement: "W"
         state:  "{{ states('var.pv_power') }}"
         device_class: power
         state_class: measurement

Value is correct, seeems like there are no errors

The idea was to make it avaiable to select in the “Energy” tab, but seems like something more is missing im unableto select it. What else sould be done? Isnt the device_class and state_class enough ?

Hi,

I have a doubt about how the Alexa Smart Home Skill handles the cover.stop_cover service and if it can handle such case at all, because in the relevant documentation it just speaks about of the open/close and set_position services, but doesn’t mention the stop_cover service.

With stop_cover I mean the ability to stop che cover midway during the raising/lowering cycle, that will result in the cover to be in the state open, albeit with the position attribute being <100.

I’ve successfully integrated the Alexa Smart Home Skill in my HA and my covers works fine. I can successfully say open/raise, close/lower and stop cover, but I think the latter command is just a lucky coincidence: my cover device will stop if any commands is issued when they are already moving (e.g. when the cover is opening, if I send the command open, the cover will stop).

So why I am “complaining”? Well I always had the impression that the stop command was working oddly and recently I was looking at the logbook to look what happens when cover are actioned by Alexa: it turn out that when I utter the command open or close the logbook will report to have used ModeController/SetMode, while when I utter the command stop the logbook will report instead PowerController/TurnOff which sounds off.

The voice commands issued to Alexa are spoken in Italian, so translation issue may be involved (I won’t say “Alexa, stop cover” which would be mouthful in Italian, but I’ll say “Alexa, ferma tapparella”.

So my question is: how I can get the full log of the command issued by Alexa to HA? What SetMode
is set to? Which serviced are called by each Alexa command?

(my covers do not support set_position so I can’t use any utterence that relies on RangeController, i.e. "Alexa, set cover to 50% would not work)

Hello,

I’ve read the docs and some of the examples in the forum which aren’t quite the same.

I have a bunch of sensors with battery states, and want to trigger notifications when their batteries are running low. I have a lot of sensors and add to them frequently, so I don’t want to have to maintain a hard coded group.

The following template works really well (95% set for demonstration):

{% for state in states if state.entity_id.endswith("_power") and not state.entity_id.endswith("energy_power") -%}
{% if states(state.entity_id) | int < 95 %}
  {{ state.entity_id }} is running at {{ states(state.entity_id) }}%
{% endif %}
{%- endfor -%}

which looks like this:

What I would then like to do is trigger off a notification, every morning at 9am:

service: notify.mobile_app_pixel_2
data:
  title: 'Low battery: {{state.entity_id}}'
  message: '{{ state.entity_id }} is running at {{ states(state.entity_id) }}'

When I try to combine both into the Automation → Action → Edit as YAML GUI:

{% for state in states if state.entity_id.endswith("_power") and not state.entity_id.endswith("energy_power") -%}
{% if states(state.entity_id) | int < 95 %}
service: notify.mobile_app_pixel_2
data:
  title: 'Low battery: {{state.entity_id}}'
  message: '{{ state.entity_id }} is running at {{ states(state.entity_id) }}'
{% endif %}
{%- endfor -%}

it appears this isn’t the “HA way” to accomplish what I’m looking for.

I’d love to keep this automation inside YAML rather than use python scripts, but if that’s not possible thanks for letting me know.

Hey folks. I’m sure this is an easy one for someone, so apologies in advance!

I’m trying to do a not condition within a choose / sequence.
I had a read of the syntax, but it’s there’s no example quite like that.
I thought I had it, but it fails when I check config before reloading.

Would anyone be able to please point me to my failings in the below?

Thank you!

Hello,
I am trying to get webhooks to work. However, even the most simple example doesn’t work.
What I want to achieve is that I want to be able to click a button on a website and I want to fire a certain webhook. I am using PHP on this website.
This is my code:

		$url = 'https://XXXX.duckdns.org:8123/api/webhook/webhook_test';
		$data = array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2');

		$options = array(
			'http' => array(
				'header'  => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
				'method'  => 'POST',
				'content' => http_build_query($data)
			)
		);
		$context  = stream_context_create($options);
		$result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);

And this shows the following error:

Warning: file_get_contents(https://XXXX.duckdns.org:8123/api/webhook/webhook_test): failed to open stream: Connection refused in XXXX on line 42

Does anyone know what to do or what I’m doing wrong?

I use zigbee2mqtt with a bunch of temp sensors and some have a very weak or no signal.

I bought a couple of tuya usb repeaters, paired them with zigbee2mqtt but havent really seen an imporvement.

Do I need to configure them somehow?

one device looks like it is talking to the repeater, but the others aren’t.
