Hi,
I’m new to HA and I would to thank anybody who spent effort on the development of HA and all other possibilities.
I accidentally pressed “Take over” instead of cancel. Now my entities/cards are not updating automatically anymore. How can I restore this action?

Hi
I bought a Zigbee Air Quality Sensor from AliExpress:
According to Blakadder List this sensor should be supported and I get VOC, Formaldehyde, CO2, Temperature and humidity. Howeve I do not get the PM2.5 sensor and I honestly have no so much faith in the CO2 and VOC values.
Has anybody the same sensor and it works fine - so maybe its a broken unit?

I have set up an alarm system based on Homematic stuff. Motion sensors, window and door sensors etc. I can read and display the status in Lovelace like this:
(this is german, so Unscharf = unarmed, Hüllschutz = hull protect, Vollschutz = complete protection)
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
alarm_status:
friendly_name: "Status Alarm"
value_template: >-
{%- if state_attr('homematic.ccu3', 'Status_Alarm_Aktiv_Var') == 0 -%}
Unscharf
{%- elif state_attr('homematic.ccu3', 'Status_Alarm_Aktiv_Var') == 1 -%}
Huellschutz
{%- elif state_attr('homematic.ccu3', 'Status_Alarm_Aktiv_Var') == 2 -%}
Vollschutz
{%- else -%}
Fehler
{%- endif -%}
As you see, I control the alarm system status by using switches in Lovelace:
switch:
- platform: template
switches:
alarm_unscharf_switch:
friendly_name: 'Alarm Unscharf'
turn_on:
service: homematic.set_variable_value
data:
entity_id: homematic.ccu3
name: Set_Status_Alarm_Var
value: "0"
turn_off:
service: homematic.set_variable_value
data:
entity_id: homematic.ccu3
name: Set_Status_Alarm_Var
value: "0"
alarm_huellschutz_switch:
friendly_name: 'Alarm Hüllschutz'
turn_on:
service: homematic.set_variable_value
data:
entity_id: homematic.ccu3
name: Set_Status_Alarm_Var
value: "1"
turn_off:
service: homematic.set_variable_value
data:
entity_id: homematic.ccu3
name: Set_Status_Alarm_Var
value: "0"
alarm_vollschutz_switch:
friendly_name: 'Alarm Vollschutz'
turn_on:
service: homematic.set_variable_value
data:
entity_id: homematic.ccu3
name: Set_Status_Alarm_Var
value: "2"
turn_off:
service: homematic.set_variable_value
data:
entity_id: homematic.ccu3
name: Set_Status_Alarm_Var
value: "0"
As you also see in the screenshot, the Homematic status can change to “unarmed”, but the color of the switch still indicates to be active (on).
Question: how to toggle the switch back based on a sensor status?

Hi!
I have this automation, in order to see the last changed of any from those triggers, but it is not working. Any idea? I get the notification “None”. Thank you!

Hi all,
I am just starting to understand HA and I am slowly moving all my lights from Hue to the Zigbee dongle.
As part of that migration I am trying to build scenes.
I am attempting to create a scene button on my dashboard that once pressed:

Hello all,
I have an issue with my script loop. I cannot get why it does not work.
Automatization for average temp save for last three days.
automation:
- alias: Historic Weather Data
trigger:
- platform: time
at: '06:00:00'
action:
- service: script.temperature_data
data_template:
loop_count: 4
script:
temperature_data:
sequence:
- service: input_number.set_value
data_template:
entity_id: >
input_number.temp_minus{{ loop_count }}
value: >
{% if loop_count | int == 0 %}
{{ states('sensor.temp_today') | float }}
{% else %}
{{ states('input_number.temp_minus' ~ (loop_count | int - 1) | string) }}
{% endif %}
#=== Stop when count is 0
- condition: template
value_template: >
{{ loop_count | int > 0 }}
#=== Stop the looping script...
- service: homeassistant.turn_off
entity_id: script.loop_temperature_data
#=== ...before looping
- service: script.loop_temperature_data
data_template:
loop_count: >
{{ loop_count }}
loop_temperature_data:
sequence:
#=== Stop the calling script...
- service: homeassistant.turn_off
entity_id: script.temperature_data
#=== ...then restart it
- service: script.temperature_data
data_template:
loop_count: >
{{ loop_count | int - 1 }}
The script should execute 4 times, and shift values:
input_number.temp_minus0 - temp of today;
input_number.temp_minus1 - temp of yesterday;
input_number.temp_minus2 - temp of second day after;
input_number.temp_minus3 - tamp of third day after.
After upgrade from 0.61 to last one this script execute one time and fill input_number.temp_minus0 with today temp, then copy input_number.temp_minus2 to input_number.temp_minus3 and that’s all.

I am coming from SmartThings like a lot of people are and wanted to see if HA had something like I have in ST. Basically I want to select some of my color bulbs that then cycle through different colors based on the holiday of choice while they are on and the automation is enabled. The SmartApp that I use in ST can be found here SmartThingsBrian/holiday-color-lights.groovy at 2b1f033b63010ad4bb70bf3c40064579f8a8e749 · brianegge/SmartThingsBrian · GitHub
Does something like this exist in HA that I can import?

I’ve created a timer and a slider, via helpers (see screenshot). I want the starting time of the timer to be updated by the value of the slider.
Ultimately, I’d like to use it to make an automation that will turn off the kids gaming devices in x minutes, where x is whatever I define on the slider.
Any advice out there on how to go about this?

Hi
I recently purchased an Aqara G2H Pro (I guess I’m a pro now? lol) and the unit setup in HomeKit Controller was straightforward and I added the live camera feed and alarm cards in Lovelace.
I have it set to record when powered on, but I don’t need to record footage of people in PJ’s (thanks Aqara 
), so I have it set to power on only when noone’s home.
Since setting it all up I noticed that when I log into HA I getting notifications that that computer or mobile device can’t connect.
Login attempt failed
Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from mypc.domain (193.0.100.123). See the log for details.
Even if the device is on when we’re here (testing) it sometimes shows in HA as unavailable. It works as far as arming/disarming the alarm functions with single/double chirps to signify it being armed, but the live feed doesn’t always show in Lovelace. I’m assuming the Aqara app may have control of it at the time.
To test, I removed the cards from Lovelace and the notifications stopped.
My question is: Is there a way to suppress these notifications from being generated?
Maybe a way to change the status to off rather than unavailable or maybe there’s a way to auto-clear those notifications when they get generated?

I’m new to this from the Insteon debacle.
I have HA set up and running on a ODroid box.
My prior setup used Yonomi to link Alexa - Phillips Hue - Insteon for voice command as well as geo fenced actions (run an action (like turn on exterior lights and lights within the house) when I get within a certain boundary of home).
Can anyone help me figure out the configurations I need to do to make everything work again?
Really appreciate the help.

Hi, I’ve tried making an automation to play a Spotify playlist in the morning on my laptop, but it hasn’t worked so far. It’s coupled with a Philips Hue light, the idea being that I’d like the sound to go off a bit later if the light doesn’t manage to wake me up. Here’s what I currently have:
alias: Bedroom Wake Up
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: time

media_content_id: current_user_playlists
- media_content_type: spotify://playlist
media_content_id: spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DX4PP3DA4J0N8
mode: single
The first time it failed I had a guess that since the player on the laptop isn’t active for the whole night it couldn’t just start playing, so I added the media_player.select_source bit.
Looking through the logbook this morning seems like it just paused it instead of playing:
At this point I don’t know what I’m missing, can anyone give me a hand with this. Thanks.

Hi,
I’m trying to get the Tuya integration working with HA. I’ve ensured that the ‘Device Status Notification’ is added as per Tuya - Home Assistant instructions. My device does not show up as an entity and I get the following error.
2022-05-15 16:27:55 ERROR (Thread-113) [tuya_iot] error while get mqtt config

I want to iterate trough the series of attributes of the weather.openweathermap sensor.
Goal is to send the forecast info to a Beckhoff ADS device.
This is what I came up with:
- id: beckhoff_dagtemperatuur
alias: 'Stuur dagtemperaturen naar Beckhoff'
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: weather.openweathermap
action:
repeat:
for_each:
- states.weather.openweathermap.attributes["forecast"]
sequence:
- service: ads_custom.write_data_by_name
data_template:
adsvar: gvlHomeAssistant.stForecast[{{ repeat.index }}].Temperature
adstype: real
value: {{ repeat.item.temperature }}
Problem is that the automation gives me the error that temperature is no item of the for loop.
From this I’m concluding that there is a problem with the for_each part of the automation.
I think it has something to do that I don’t provide a needed index:
{{ states.weather.openweathermap.attributes["forecast"][INDEX].temperature}}
Problem is that I don’t know how to achieve this.
Tnx.

Hi guys,
Does someone know if it is possible to get the state of the current language settings of HA? I am using Custom Cards and there is an option to template names. So my idea is the change the name according to the system setting of HA. (When the language is EN - the name is in English, when in IT, then in Italian, and so on.
Any ideas, please?

It seems that something has changed, as my Text-To-Speech automations have gone totally silent.
Previously how I did this was with calling a script:
alias: somethingsomething
sequence:
- service: tts.google_translate_say
entity_id: media_player.player_name
data_template:
message: >
Text to be sent
But now what I get in return is an error: “Media source not loaded”.

I want to display the end-time for a washing cycle on my dashboard. The washingmachine gives me a ‘time left’ as an attribute which I have converted to a sensor for ease of use and other display purposes on my dashboard.
But I am a bit stuck on how to calculate an endtime based on the current time and the time left.
I can fetch the time remaining either as
{{ state_attr('sensor.wasmachine', 'remain_time') }}
or
states('sensor.wash_timeleft')
This gives me a string as such “0:30:00”, “1:02:00”, “0:00:00”… etc.
What I want to do to is add this time to a now() (using now().strftime("%H:%M:%S") for example) and get a time that displays when the washingmachine will be done. So if it’s now 12:00 and the timeleft is “0:30:00” the finnish time should be 12:30 (30 minutes later).
Any help will be much appreciated!

Hello,
since i updatet HA to 5.2 all MQTT “sensor” entrys are shown as not present.
But all MQTT “binary.sensor” and “switch” working fine!
mosquitto is installed and i can listen to those missing messages/entrys.
here a part of the configuration.yaml:
mqtt:
broker: 192.168.2.223
sensor:
- platform: mqtt
name: "Solar SERVER Ampere"
state_topic: "homesys/Solar MPPT/LOAD1 A"
unit_of_measurement: "A"
- platform: mqtt
name: "PI CPU Temp"
state_topic: "homesys/pi/sys/cpu/temperatur"
these are working:
binary_sensor:
- platform: mqtt
name: "IN1"
state_topic: "homesys/pi/shift_inputs/in1"
payload_on: "1"
payload_off: "0"
- platform: mqtt
name: "IN2"
state_topic: "homesys/pi/shift_inputs/in2"
payload_on: "1"
payload_off: "0"
Can someone help?
