I see a number of posts about the best Zwave or Zigbee device to add to a Home Assistant instance and I had been looking at the Aeotec Z stick to plug into my RPi so I can control some smart locks (specifically Tuya and Yale) but wouldn’t a better option be a 2nd hand Smartthings hub? This would then also give me Zigbee functionality as well so 2 birds one device and for about £25-30. Any drawbacks to this?

Hey!
Ok so I have a Daikin heating pump, and it controls itself towards its internal temperature sensor. But since I want it to heat more than the room it’s located in I need to raise the set temp.
But wouldn’t it be possible to control the set temp of the heatingpump based on the temp inside the house of a temp sensor there? That way I could automate HA to lower the set temp when the temperature reaches what I set inside the house.
How would I do this? I guess I have to test the set temp around but if the temp inside the house reaches a good temp that I set I would save energy if HA then set the temp lower making the pump go lower.
Appreciate all help! (New to HA)

This one just seems totally stale and it’s a really crippling issue.
Sorry - just don’t know who/where else to turn to!

Hello @ all !
I am pretty new to Home Assistant and spent a week now, setting up my home to be smart… 
I was reading forums a lot to setup everything, but now, I reached a point, where I don’t find any solution… I have integrated contact sensors from SwitchBot via ESD32 and MQTT. These have a button, which is recognized as a button entity (binary sensor) in the devices setup, so I can read out its state with on (pressed) and off (released) .
As I have these sensors now on all doors and windows, I would like to set up HA that if the alarm is armed and if I would press the button on the sensor, that the sensor will be inactive for lets say 5 minutes, so that I can open the door without disarming the alarm completely…
Do you have an idea, how to set this up ? - Maybe a piece of code or step by step instructions ?
I am afraid my wife will kill me, if she would have to disable and re-enable the alarm everytime she has to let the dog out for a pee at night… 
HELP !!!

I’m trying to see if Smart Start is actually easier than running around entering PINs, and so far… not turning out to be. I’m having some trouble with the camera in the app, so instead used a QR code reader to enter the values as text into ZWave To MQTT’s UI (via copy and paste, so I know the number is right). But now I’m seeing
2022-02-09T03:33:58.975Z CNTRLR Received Smart Start inclusion request
2022-02-09T03:33:58.975Z CNTRLR NWI Home ID not found in provisioning list, ignoring request...
… what should I do?

Hey folks,
Migrating to HA (Z-Wave) from X-10 (which I’ve been running for EVER with my own proprietary Python scripts), initially with light switches but I have two Trane XL20i units which I like to control under HA, very basic such as ON/OFF, HEAT/COOL and set temps.
I know that the XR524 is not on the supported list but I see some old posts here where it seems some folks are using these thermostats successfully (?). I’ve not purchased the XR524’s yet and wanted to know if these units are still workable under HA today ???

Hi everyone,
I have a problem that I can’t solve. For example in ‘picture-elements’ card i have an image with connected entity, tap_action: toggle and with configured state_filter. When I click on the image there always a semi-transparent circle appears on it. When I click elsewhere this circle disappears. Could you please help me how to set configuration to completely get rid of that selection circle?
Thanks in advance,
Marcin

Is anyone using the custom-Sonos-card in HACS? I stumbled on it yesterday and am trying to figure out what all the options are. I checked GitHub but the example YAML is not very extensive.

Hello all,
I have created a card that is displaying a couple different sensors. The problem I’m running into is that one of the sensors sensor.google_moon_info has a state that is more than 255 characters. Since that is not allowed, I’m getting an unknown state.
I’m wondering if anyone knows of a way to modify the sensor template so that it only displays the first 255 characters.
Here is my sensor config:
- platform: template
sensors:
google_moon_info:
friendly_name: 'Google Moon Info'
value_template: >
{{ state_attr('calendar.moon_astro', 'description') }}
If that is not possible, does anyone know how I can instead pull an attribute straight from the original entity calendar.moon_astro?
Here is my card config:
entity: sensor.google_moon
show_icon: false
show_entity_picture: true
show_label: true
show_name: false
show_state: true
label: |
[[[
return states['sensor.google_moon_info'].state;
]]]
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: browser_mod.popup
service_data:
large: true
title: Moon/Astro Info
card:
type: entities
entities:
- sensor.google_moon_info
styles:

- text-transform: uppercase

I’m trying to create an automation that will fire if the August lock is locked but only if it’s done by ‘one touch’ which is via the keypad. I’m not sure if there is an entity for this. Right now I see the options for if the lock is locked in general: Image 2022-02-09 at 2.50.40 PM which creates a problem. I don’t want the automation to trigger if someone manually locks the door from the inside for example. According to the HASS docs there is a presence detection like if john smith locks or unlocks the door, so wondering if there is something for detecting if it’s locked by the keypad.
The only other thing I can think of is if maybe I integrate a motion sensor and say if the door is locked and there is no motion after X amount of time then do thing, but that also can create some issues because then I have to outfit a rather large space with motion sensors.
3rd option is possibly detecting if certain lights are off in a zone, because generally when we leave we shut all lights off, especially the front lights near the door. The lights are all Lutron Caseta lights (which I have been unable to to connect the bridge as of late…) so perhaps using that as another check… “if front lights are off, and door is locked, do thing”.
But ideally it would be detecting if the keypad was pressed with ‘one touch’ to lock it.
Any suggestions would be great, thanks.

Hi ,
I am using postgresql as recorde DB.
I find the home assistant is not using UTC to store the events. It makes my logbook and history wierd.
I located in +1 time zone.
But time_fired is the same time as my local time. It should be UTC (local time -1 hour)
How to fix this ?
Thanks

Hi, I have various Plugwise circle plugs, which are read through a Plugwise Stretch 2 with the Plugwise integration. This works basically as expected. Both the actual power in watts are coming through and also the watts per hour (Wh) are created as a sensor.
For the Energy dashboard you need kWh sensors, so therefore I created a template sensor with the new type of configuration:
sensor:
- name: "Datacenter energy consumption"
unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
state_class: total_increasing
device_class: energy
state: >
{% set value = states('sensor.datacenter_electricity_consumed_interval') | float %}
{{ float(value) / 1000}}
The output of the sensor unfortunately is way less than
These are the plugwise readings per hour:
The readings from the interval sensor which was created by the Plugwise plugin are all lower then the measured ~85 - 88 Watts used per hour
If I sum those up in Excel, I get 1847,43 Watts used, but the template sensor reports only 1,15kWh. Off course this is incorrect. I think the spikes should be higher dan 80, which they aren’t.
Anyone any idea how to solve this? The current Scan interval is 60 seconds, should this be lower?
Thanks in advance!

Im in the midst of moving everything to zigbee, and it’s a great deal faster. Although i’m not yet convinced on the wireless range (wifi seems to greatly win, especially with all the extenders/bulbs/zigbee routers i need to place for zigbee) but at least i have local control so not relying on a app or the internet.
i guess speed is the great advantage (if power goes down i have no internet, but i also have no bulbs, so zigbee is really only helping with locks, and other battery powered end devices (the zigbee routers are down ofcourse). So i guess the advantage of zigbee in a nutshell is local device control, speed and not relying on internet. I guess all valid points. But i still wish wifi would just allow for local control rather then having to rekit the house with zigbee. Anyway i digress.
Now with tuya and lovelace the sensors were always updating slow. But with zigbee i had somehow hope the sensors would update quick if i physically turned off a switch. But it’s taking minutes, if at all. Maybe i configured something wrong ? Is it setting in zigbeemqtt ?
