I can see my Spotify account in media, but if I try and play tracks I get:
Failed to call service media_player/media_play. No active playback device found.
This happens on my laptop and also iOS device. Any ideas please?

Home assistant as photo frame with feed
After moving houses, I am ready to get back to Home Assistant after a few years apart! So, I might have missed the latest developments.
My end goal is to make a photo frame I can cast to a wall-mounted TV, with random photos in the background, and show a feed of cards with various information depending on current states, as well as a clock and weather status.
For picking out and serving photos, I hacked together a small webserver in Python, so that seems like the easy part.
What is more confusing to me, is how to best utilize Lovelace to conditionally show a list of cards overlaid on the photo. It seems like picture-elements is a good start, but I can’t add a vertical stack to it. Am I on the wrong path here? Any alternative suggestions?
Here is an illustration of what I want to achieve:

Google Speaker Group Volume Control in Script/Automations
Hey. I’m stumped. I gone through:
HowTo: Control Group Volume on Google Home / Nest Speakers (SONOS patent lawsuit)
and
Google Cast Integration - Removing Speaker Group Volume Controls?!? Jan 2022
but have not been able to solve this… I’m hoping people smarter than I have some ideas.
I have a script that runs spotcast to play sleep playlist in my daughters room. They have 3 Google speakers that were/ are in a group. I know Google killed the group volume control and that has messed everything up.
But this is where I have hope/ am confused.
-
While my script no longer sets volume for media_player.girls_room the lovelace entity card’s volume control still works.
-
When I play through spotcast to a group (so they are all in sync), individually adjusting each devices volume through a script or automation also doesn’t seem to work?
sleep_sounds:
alias: Plays the Rain Playlist
sequence:
- service: spotcast.start
data:
entity_id: media_player.girls_room
uri: spotify:playlist:###########
random_song: true
shuffle: true
- delay:
seconds: 20
- service: media_player.volume_set
target:
entity_id: media_player.girl1_hub
data:
volume_level: 0.6
- service: media_player.volume_set
target:
entity_id:
- media_player.girls_bedroom_wifi
- media_player.girl2_hub
data:
volume_level: 0.4
Nothing happens here. no speaker change… it doesn’t even seem to try.
If I change the volume_set back to the speaker group the hubs display the volume, but do not change it. Again, I can go to the lovelace card and adjust the slider to change the speaker group as a whole.
Ideally, I’d prefer to individually adjust the speakers volume as one daughter likes it louder than the other, but would be happy with a way to adjust the overall volume of the group.
The same thing happens when I try and remove the volume change from the script and move it to an automation that calls the script. Any Idea’s?

2022.2 Device tracker unknow device enable
I have an automation that would turn on/off lights, AC, etc when someone is home. This still works fine when tracking my phone. The issue is on the guest wifi since it no longer tracks devices it does not know.
Is there a way to automatically add entities on the guest wifi like before?

Konnected : Sensors unknown after duckdns setup
Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help. Have a konnected alarm panel with various sensors set up. Since I managed to get external access going again the konnected panel sensors are displaying their status as “Unknown”.
Not sure why. I’ve set the override API host URL to https://[home assistant ip address]:8123 restarted home assistant, but the sensors remain unknown.
I can ping the thing so assume its on my network. I am running firmware 2.3.5. Was working fine before I finally got external access via duckdns back up and running.
Any ideas? I’d sure like to hear em.

I’m pulling my hair out here trying to understand why I keep receiving the error: Message Malformed: Integration not found when trying to save this script. Full disclosure, I’m AWFUL when it comes to templates. If I copy the json into the template editor it works just fine, so what am I doing wrong?!

OrderedDict error creating automation
Hi
I’m getting an error when creating a blueprint automation, and I can’t figure out why?
ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.automation] Blueprint Light Color by Section of Day generated invalid automation with inputs OrderedDict([(‘target_light’, OrderedDict([(‘entity_id’, ‘light.dining’)]))]): Entity entity_id is neither a valid entity ID nor a valid UUID for dictionary value @ data[‘condition’][0][‘entity_id’]. Got None
The error appears when I go to create the automation, add a light, and then click save.
This is the automation:
blueprint:
name: 'Light Color by Section of Day'
description: 'test'
domain: automation
input:
target_light:
name: Light
selector:
target:
entity:
domain: light
trigger:

state: 'on'
action:
- service: light.turn_on
target: !input target_light
data:
kelvin: 5000
brightness_pct: 10
mode: single
The new automation is saved on the automations.yaml file, but it doesn’t appear on the gui with other automations.
automations.yaml:
- id: '1644357598514'
alias: Light Color by Section of Day -- Dining

I use this, but I think there is a best way to do this:

Cannot access History
I am running the following:
HA OS 7.3
HA 2022.2.3 on a RPi4 with an SSD
Recorder is setup in config.yaml to read/write data from a local MySQL database
I am encountering an issue in accessing the history in the GUI. When I click on the history icon the left nav, the main screen just shows the spinning icon forever. It never stops. I believe that I did recently upgrade to HA OS 7.3 and HA 2022.2.3 and so am not sure if either of those have anything to do it, but it has worked fine the past.
In case it matters, I have no problem accessing the logbook.
Can anyone suggest what is going on and what I should do to fix it?
TIA!

Showing Basic RSSI - Prometheus Exporter
Hello HA members. I wanted to swing by and say “thank you” for the additional data now being exposed, specifically the “Basic RSSI” for Zigbee devices. I’m not sure which recent version of HA added the exposed metrics - but it’s nice to have!!
I did have to go back into each device and update the Friendly Name and Entity since the new update took the defaults rather than my edited name… but easy enough!
Thanks again!!

Alarm Clock with Sonos
Hey Guys,
i have set up some automations which are used for my sonos system as an alarm clock.
Pre configured sonos alarms where created in the sonos app and are enabled and disabled via home assistant.
I use a spotify playlist here with a random song and 10 minutes before the alarm lights start to fade in.
This works great but i have some problem with the ressurence of the alarm.
Most of them are only weekdays and one alarm is daily. The daily one is used for weekends.
But now i only want one (or two) alarms in the sonos app which should be enabled or disabled by a weekday/weekend switch in home assistant. I want to reduce the amount of alarms in the sonos app because there cant be two alarms with the same time which can lead to errors. Is this possible or should i go with an media.play automation instead of the pre built alarm clocks in the sonos app?
Any one had experience with this?

Use GA "ok google" trigger as a trigger for HA automations
Is there a way to use “ok google” as a trigger for automations?
To be clear: I don’t mean after you give GA a complete command like “ok google do xyz”. I mean directly after “ok google” has been detected and GA is actively listening for the rest of your command
So it would look something something like this in order of execution:
“ok google” {HA AUTOMATION TRIGGERS HERE} “do xyz”

Device automation + entities
I used MQTT Device Trigger guide to create a new device:
Now I want to add some entities to this device, but I can’t figure out how.
I followed the guide on MQTT discovery, and used the device id from the previous guide. The entities are added but are not lined to the device. I tried something like:
discovery_topic: 'homeassistant/binary_sensor/0x90fd9ffffedf1266/config'
discovery_payload: {'name':'door','device_class':'door','state_topic':state_topic}
I am just trying to apply some basic logic so not sure if this is the right way?
Thanks.
