I followed this tutorial to get license plate recognition in HA. It worked great, I got it to read my plate. But how can I trigger an automation based on the plate reading? for example, if HA sees the license plate “ABC 123” send me a notification.

The state is not shown nicely for persons at home: “Zu Hau…”
I would rather have a short alias for this. How can I do this?
Alternatively, how can I make the text bar longer?

Hello everyone,
I have an entitie input_number like shown below.
input_number:
gas_meter_reading:
name: Gas Meter Reading
mode: box
unit_of_measurement: m3
min: 0
max: 99999
step: 1
With this input_number i also fill my utility:
verbrauch_gas_daily:
source: sensor.gas_verbrauch_qm
cycle: daily
and monthly and so on. But unfortunately today I put in one digit too much. 11121,32qm instead of 1121,32. So my values are nor 10.000 to much. Is there any way to remove the value from the database?
Or purge everything starting today?
Some help would be great. Would be a shame if I miss the values.

I was playing around for a bit with the configuration.yaml and created some custom sensors. After i removed them from the configuration.yaml they are still listed as entities. I cannot delete them, because they are marked as read only. What did I do wrong?

I would like to create a script that starts playing a playlist in random order. So I use “Play Media”, select a media player, then Sonos, and then a playlist. The only problem is that the order isn’t random. Where would I specify that?
I found an older thread with the same problem but no real solution. This can’t be hard, can it?

Hello Everyone,
I need some help to finish an automation. I have a motion sensor that turns on my bathroom light. I had it to set a low light between 1-6 am and full-strength any other time. It then has a delay of 3 minutes and switches off if no motion is detected. This works fine most of the time but I decided that I wanted it to stay on and ignore the motion sensor if it’s switched on manually. Therefore the state of the light.master_bathroom light.master_bathroom has to be “off”. I’m constantly getting the error “[choose] is an invalid option for [automation]” although I have used it before in automations. Any help will be appreciated.
This is what I have so far:

Hi,
I just installed a Heatit Z-TRM3 thermostat which I try to configure.
It shows up nicely, but I would like to know excactly what is measured
by the different sensors Air temperature (2), Air temperature (3)
and Air temperature (4). Should there be a Air temperature(1)?
I have read the manufacture’s manual and looked at the diagnostics file
with no success. I can guess, but hope for an answer
or a link to some documentation. Neither do I have any clue to
what hides behind Basic(2), Basic(3) and Basic(4) .
Thanks, Ola

This is my automation for my outside lights. The dashboard says they are on but they are not.
If I go to the dashboard turn them off then back on then they come on… Not sure what I missed here.
It does fire every night but no lights.
Thank you!

I’m looking at the alarm control panel to use in my Home Assistant.
But I don’t see a possiblity to trigger the alarm immediately without waiting for some delay time.
Let me explain:
For the sensor on the front door you want to have some delay, so that you can enter the house and disarm the alarm (with some hardware when you don’t use your phone). So for this option you have to specify the delay_time in the configuration.yaml.
But other sensors should trigger the alarm immediately without the delay time.
The service alarm_control_panel.alarm_trigger uses the delay time.
Is there a possibility to skip this delay when executing this service for some situations?

My mower already returns to the base when it starts raining or it is too hot. But I want too take this a bit further.
Basically, I would take the weather and the growing rate into account.
If the weather is like X, Y mowing minutes a week are required.
If the weather is like Z, U mowing minutes a week are required.
Parameters for the weather seem to be temperature, minutes of sunshine and rain in the last 7 days.
According to this it will limit the mowing a day or extend if the weather in the prior days was bad (hence no mowing).
Now, there are two problems to solve:
Any ideas for this topic?

Let’s say I need to have a device to be running 10 hours a week and I usually let it run 2 hours a day. Some days it will not run at all, other weeks it will run 14 hours. So from 0 to 14 hours is both possible.
I need a sensor template that accumulates the runtime of the last 7 days. If the runtime is too low in the last days to achieve that it would extend the runtime per day to compensate. Target time will be 10 hours, but there is a limit per day.
It is a bit of a complex task - or at least I am stuck in finding a way to do that in HA.

1. Is there a way to change the source name shown in the Energy dashboard without changing the actual name of the entity?
I inlude “kwh” in the name because I want to be able to distinguish it from other entities when viewing everything as a whole. But when I’m in the Energy dashboard, seeing “kwh” is kind of redudant. I’d like to just change the name in this dashboard so rather than: “Dryer active energy draw”, it would just say “Dryer”
2. Also in the picture you can see dryer has used .65kwh and cost is $.03. But then the basement lights has used .98kwh and the cost is $0. But I have them both setup as the same static price.

Is anyone aware of a an integration (official or custom) for the Pentair Color Sync Controller (see link below)? There is an official integration for the Pentair ScreenLogic, but I believe that’s a different device.
Or, does anyone know how to get the Color Sync Controller working with Home Assistant? For example, does ScreenLogic need to be installed and connected with the Color Sync Controller, and then the integration will work?
