I have a motion detector and a camera at the front door.

Main target:
Take a series of pictures, maybe more that only 6 to make sure I capture what was trigging the motion detector, and to be able to go back to watch the photos at a later time. I would appreciate some input on how I would review them effectively too

Here are two issues here:

1. Simplify the action code - maybe do a loop (for… ?), or something completely different.
2. Capture pictures faster than per 1 second?
3. How would I review the captured photos effectively?

Hi.
I have my garage door controlled by an automation that at a selected time checks if it’s still opened and, if so, it send a telegram alert to my mobile, with option to close it immediately or wait automatic closing in 15 minutes.

The automation is triggered when this sensor goes on:

chiusura_automatica_box:
        value_template: >
          {% if states.input_select.orario_chiusura.state is defined %}
            {{states.input_select.orario_chiusura.state == states.sensor.time.state}}
          {% else %}
            False
          {% endif %}
        friendly_name: 'Chiusura Automatica Box'

The second automation should be triggered 15 minutes later, by another sensor that goes on.
But this sensore never goes on:

chiusura_automatica_box_quindici_minuti:
       value_template: >
          {% if states.input_select.orario_chiusura.state is defined %}
            {{ ( states.input_select.orario_chiusura.state | int + 900 ) == ( states.sensor.time.state | int ) }}
          {% else %}
            False
          {% endif %}
        friendly_name: 'Chiusura Automatica Box Dopo 15 Minuti'

What’s wrong in the second sensor?
Thanks.

Hi guys
I have my house now full of Xiaomi switches, Phillips and IKEA light bulbs and it seems to work fine until recently.
I did a test with one temperature sensor I had in my cellar to see if the signal would go through the thick stone walls and it did seem to pass only when close to some area.
Based on this I purchase another sensor and two light bulbs so they can act as a relay to save the sensor battery.
I can control the lights with no issue with some switches or the app (prior to going because there is no wifi in there), but the temperature sensor won’t report.
If I bring it to the living room, it is working properly, but not in the cellar
any Idea on what could go wrong ? I tend to believe the mesh is not properly recognized so the sensor is not relying on the light bulbs to communicate but I do not know how to verify and most importantly fix it.
any idea ?
I am using home assistant 106.6 and deconz (W/ conbee stick) 2.05.75

Hello!

I have a Pi with HassOS and a QNAP NAS. I want to automate the Backup of the NAS completely.
What is working is that I switch on a socket with an external drive.
This is mounted automatically and the QNAP starts the backup. When the backup is done the drives is unmounted automatically by the QNAP.

What I need now is to check from Home Assistant if the drive is unmounted from the NAS after it was switched on. I can ssh to the QNAP and make a “ls /share/USBDisk”. If it is mounted, I get the contents and if not I get: “/bin/ls: cannot access /share/USBDisk: No such file or directory”

Is there any possibility to get this information into Home Assistant and let an automation that switches of the socket for the external drive start?

Can someone help me here? Thank you in advance!

I’m a novice when it comes to MQTT and hoped someone could point me in the right direction.

I have the Mosquitto Broker installed and working on Hassio. I have a number of sensors displaying data from the broker and I’m happy with it.

I have an energy monitoring device in my power meter box that outputs MQTT data that I would like to display as two sensors in HA. I do not have access to change or configure this device.

If I open a browser and navigate to http://192.168.0.145:8080/#/mqtt it outputs the following stream of data…

1586258105: /sensor/935049fff719c85cb3154cd64971b175/gauge ~> [1586258105,0,“W”]
1586258105: /sensor/89eb82d859bdfa8a7884ca6fa798ed14/gauge ~> [1586258105,1018,“W”]
1586258104: /sensor/935049fff719c85cb3154cd64971b175/gauge ~> [1586258104,0,“W”]
1586258104: /sensor/89eb82d859bdfa8a7884ca6fa798ed14/gauge ~> [1586258104,1011,“W”]

The first value is solar generation and the second value is energy consumption. (Watts)

Can anyone guide me on how I can take this stream (MQTT) and use it to create two sensors in HA?

I hope I have used the correct terms above

Thanks
Anthony

Hi all and thanks for the community!!
Noob!!
HASS 0.107.7
Trying to send command-line to RPI running Octopi/Enclosure plugin but no results.
In my config.yaml I got this:

  switches:
    luz_impresora:

       friendly_name: Luz Impresora Ender

I got the Switch on my Lovelace but when I try to change it always reverts to original position.

If I write in my browser “http://octopi.local/plugin/enclosure/setIO?status=false&index_id=1&apiKey=7736C8CB4B0XXXXXXXXXXXXXX”, It works perfect, I got action switching ON/OFF the light depending on the true/false command.

Tried without the /usr/bin/… but nothing, removing the -X GET same.
Changed octopi.local for the IP same result.
I checked indentation, also quotation (removing, adding, changing) but no answer at all.
At this moment I’m lost.
I simply need to send that http command to the octopi with HASS
Any help welcome.

Hi, I’ve just migrated from Hassbian to Hass.io on a Pi3B+ but after installing Grafana and Influx it was noticeably slower, so I decided to migrate everything to a new Pi4.
So far, everything (more or less) is working well but I’m having issues with zwave.
I know that Aetoc zwave stick needs a USB hub to work well with Pi4 so I bought one. I also copied my zwave*.xml files into my config directory but somehow it has started working only partially: It is recognizing some of my zwave devices with their correct names, other devices are working but with mixed names (not the correct ones) and quite a few are not working at all, as they appear as unavailable (or unknown entities, not sure now). Moreover I can’t find /dev/ttyACM0 though it is working with this path in my config file.
So I don’t know if the problem is some issue with my zwave xml file, my zwave-device-config file or maybe it is just that the USB hub is not working properly???
Should I buy a new zwave stick, like the zwave.me recommended here by @Tinkerer to @autoX ? :

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/which-zwave-stick-with-rpi-4-aeotec-not-working-without-hub/137346

If I buy the new stick, will it work directly with my old zwave configuration?? My problem is that I’ve got quite a lot of zwave devices with automations and I will prefer avoiding starting from scratch again.
Any help will be appreciated thank you, I’m quite lost!!

That is until I click the three-dot-icon or navigate to another tab and back.
Same behaviour on android app, iphone and computer browser.
Anyone seen this behaviour before?
If I remove the custom icons the default icons show as expected.

Hi guys,

I’m trying to set up SSL encrypted DDNS access for my home assistant to use google assistant and to use HA remotely.

I got an easy way to get certificate files from my asus router and it auto updates (my domain: ***.asuscomm.com).

Now I exported the cert.pem and key.pem file from the router and imported these in my Synology nas which I now can use remotely with a green SSL icon in google chrome. Very easy.

I’m wondering if there is an easy way to do this in HA as well, I tried the letsencrypt plugin and also tried to add this to my config with the pem files renamed and added under config/ssl/**:

http:
  ssl_certificate: config/ssl/fullchain.pem
  ssl_key: config/ssl/privkey.pem

But these two options give me errors and I can’t get https to work. I’m a little bit confused why it works so easily on my Synology and is so hard on Home Assistant.

I hope anyone can help me out.

For some reason the token doesn’t seems to be updated, can it be some file that is “locked”?

My location is accurate, yet at 12 noon clear sky not a cloud in sight , but DarkSky is saying 60% cloud cover.
Its not as if it was just a little patch of the UK with clear sky, the Sat images showed the whole of the UK had near zero clould cover.
I’ve two airports near me , Shawbury,( military), and Birmingham (commercial), both have weather stations. with web data.
Has anyone found a way to grab the weather data from airports for use with HA.
I suspect we will lose DarkSky access soon anyway with its new owners.

Ok this one is bugging me for a while and can’t troubleshoot the sucker. I have a bunch of statistics sensors and they’re all calculating perfectly fine, any feedback on what i’m doing wrong will be greatly appreciated!

Environment
Rpi4, Raspbian, 107.5

Issue
I’m interested in the “change” attribute in the stats sensor only, it’s not calculating correctly no matter what sampling size i’m using, as you can see below i’m using 20k, originally set at 3600. The simple arithmetic doesn’t make sense. All other stat sensors are calculating correctly. Mind you this is only for deaths not calculating the change correctly, the confirmed change value is correct.

Sensor Source:
Corona-virus integration from UI

Greece Coronavirus deaths
sensor.greece_coronavirus_deaths

Greece Coronavirus confirmed
sensor.greece_coronavirus_confirmed

Statistics Sensor

- platform: statistics
  name: cov19_gr_confirmed
  entity_id: sensor.greece_coronavirus_confirmed
  sampling_size: 20000
  max_age:
    days: 1
- platform: statistics
  name: cov19_gr_deaths
  entity_id: sensor.greece_coronavirus_deaths

    days: 1

Actual data

image597×627 33.6 KB

image617×592 31.1 KB

Example problem

image1260×1181 96 KB

Summary
The confirmed shows a change of 20 which is correct. For deaths I’m seeing 5 but the answer should be 8. Seems that I’m always off by 3!
