As mentioned in another thread I have kep my old HA running with some old versions till I decided to finally upgrade hardware then did an update of OS etc. In doing so i found a lot has changed and decided to start from scratch.

On my olf Lovelace I used to have a slider that showed one decimal place for a tempreture set point. It would have been configured in YAML

So trying to keep things kleen this time I found the helper UI and creaed a helper number BUT cant get it to use 0.1 as in 21.5 or 23.1. It does whole numbers.

So do I have to make those in the config file to achieve that? ALso whilst on that, I also created a couple of toggle helpers. How do you set the restore state etc?

i have a smart plug with energy monitor. it has been flashed with Tasmota and working fine.
what i noticed is that data for power takes a very long time to update in HA. here’s a screenshot:

at least ON/OFF status works. but HA takes at least 5 minutes to update to real time status of the plug.
is there any way to speed this up?

this is my yaml in config file.

sensor:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "refrigerator Energy Today"
    state_topic: "tele/top2/SENSOR"
    value_template: '{{ value_json["ENERGY"]["Today"] }}'

Hello.
First post, so if I am doing something wrong according to the rules, just let me know.

I am trying to automate the lights on our bathroom. Right now it is just a motion sensor. And thats fine. Untill you shower. Then it cant see you, and after 10 min it turns of the light. (Got teenagers in the house, so +10 min bath is a thing ).
I have bought a temp+hum sensor. The idea is, that the motion sensor should not work (pause) if the humidity in the room is above, lets say 65%.

My yaml are as follow:

alias: Lys på toilettet via sensor og fugtmåling
description: ''
trigger:
  - type: motion
    platform: device
    device_id: c596df1b9e60693cc64eb5f970f9dedc
    entity_id: binary_sensor.0x00158d0007759e46_occupancy
    domain: binary_sensor
condition: []
action:
  - service: light.turn_on
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id:
        - light.gruppe_toilet_lys
  - wait_for_trigger:
      - type: no_motion
        platform: device
        device_id: c596df1b9e60693cc64eb5f970f9dedc
        entity_id: binary_sensor.0x00158d0007759e46_occupancy
        domain: binary_sensor
        for:
          hours: 0
          minutes: 10
          seconds: 0
  - service: light.turn_off
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id:
        - light.gruppe_toilet_lys
mode: restart

How do I set that condition right? The motion sensor has to be activ any other time, when no 1 is in the shower.

Ill appreciate very much some guide or help creating a unique ID through MQTT or YAML
I’ve looked for instruction, but couldn’t find anything I can understand
I’m trying to make one for my media player Bluesound (=media_player.bluesound_ww)
another one for motion sensor with app IPwebcam (=switch.working_ip_motion_detection)
and one for current temperature from ac connected to HA with ST
again I’ll be great full for good instruction as I am really confused

After tinkering a room light sequence to the point it’s perfect, I ended up with 4 automations. Three of them turn on the light, and the last one turns them off.

The tricky thing for me here is that the three first automations have different ‘or’ conditions stacked on the ‘and’ conditions. I have a hard time combining these different ‘or’ conditions to simply create one automation that sets the right. I also don’t know if it is even possible, but why not ask: Most of my automations suffer this kind of problem, with some help I could learn a thing or two.

First three automations to set the right lights

As a “clean start”, I have installed HomeAssistant as a VirtualBox client. Then InfluxDB and finally Grafana.
I think InfluxDB is reading/storing my ESPHome sensor correctly because I can use the InfluxDB “Explore” to view it. However, I seem to have trouble getting the Add Data Source to complete. When I select “Save & Test” it reports “Invalid URL”. I note from various tutorials that the URL may be “http://a0d7b954-influxdb:8086” but I can not edit the Garfana URL field?

I note somewhere, that only a Grafana Admin can create a Data Source. Is this a likely reason?

Regards, M.

I am trying to get wind speed forecast data from Open Meteo, that are attributes under the forecast key. But that key is a list of dictionaries with seven different key:val pairs. I am only interested in one value from each index on the list (see “attributes” below).

I have been looking at the “attributes” in entities card, but I can only get the list. It doesn’t seem like I can index the nested list and dictionary.

I’ve tried this:

type: entities
entities:
  - type: attribute
    entity: weather.open_meteo
    attribute: forecast
    name: Forecacst

but that gives the entire list of dictionaries. And indexing with . o square brackets [] doesn’t seem to work.

I have also looked at the config-template-card, but I know zero Javascript, so I didn’t get that far with that one. And started wondering if there was not a simpler way?

I haven’t found an integration for a BYD battery yet. Has anyone been able to make this for themselves or how do you get started and what do you need from BYD for this?

I’m using transitions when applying scenes. In my living room i mostly use devices which are dimmable. I have one lightbulb which doesnt, and simply turns off or off.

When i apply a smooth 5 second transition for turning the lights off, this 1 lightbulb turns off immediately while the dimmable devices start their transition… This annoys me, what i would like is that this device turns off after the devices that do support transitions reach 0% brightness.

How to deal with this, other than scene.turn_on for the dimmable devices and afterwards light.turn_on for the nondimmable bulb?

Hi

I’ve looked around for answers but I don’t think I have found a savvy way to achieve the following.

I only want to record temperature values from a probe when another device (a pump) is switched on.

I have a temperature probe which reliably records to HA. I also have the pump status (running/not running) via toggle/switch. The thing is that it is reporting the temperature of water in my pool by placing the probe within the pipes near my pump. When the pump is running, this is a good representation of the pool temperature, but in the evening the water in the narrow pipe drops significantly. This make it SEEM like the pool cooled off a lot during the night when in fact it did not.

I think I would like to only record the temperature when the pump is running, and ignore it otherwise.

Happy to use NodeRed, but would love for this to be config based.

But home assistant complains that sensor.balcony_door_sensor.battery' doesnt have a default value, and I’m not quite sure how to add one.

I have a blueprint configured that I use for motion lights in many rooms in my house. I’d like to configure the blueprint so that if anyone of the sensors or lights for the automation go offline, it turns off the automation (and sends me a notification). Is there a way to do this without having to create a variable for the user to choose the automation after the create it from the blueprint? Is there a concept of “self”?

Hey guys, i just got Home assistant setup, the main reason i got it is just to get this automation to work. i appreciate if someone can help me with that.

I have a smart plug (zigbee) that connected to a camera, The automation i want is as follow:

1. the camera switch is ON , from 7.45 am to 10.15 pm, OFF at other time
2. If im not home i want the camera switch to be ON all time, and disregard the rule 1)
3. if i come home , i want it to get back to rule 1)

i spent two days trying to get HA working and now i dont know the trigger , conditions, actions, or state logic to do this . Appreciate it.

My goal: To have a Picture Glance card that displays the camera from my 3D printer such that it is grayscale when not printing and in color while printing.

This was simple enough to achieve with the following:

      - type: picture-glance
        entities:
          - entity: camera.octoprint_cam
        camera_image: camera.octoprint_cam
        camera_view: live
        state_filter:
          "on": saturate(1)
          "off": saturate(0)
        entity: binary_sensor.octoprint_printing

… however, when I set the entity to be the binary_sensor, tapping on the card now shows the status of that sensor, whereas before adding the state_filter tapping on the card would pop-up the camera feed, i.e.

      - type: picture-glance
        entities: []
        camera_image: camera.octoprint_cam
        camera_view: live

My question: Is there any way to configure this so that I can have the grayscale applied, while also being able to tap the card to show the camera feed?

I have tried variants of tap_action and had no success, and currently have it so tapping the camera icon associated with the glance entity opens the feed, but would really prefer the entire card being tappable so hoping someone more experienced here could advise. Thanks.

Hi, I am trying to switch Zigbee Lights from my KNX switches. But when I press a button, nothing happens. This is the first time I am trying to create an automation with a self-created blueprint.
I believe I am missing something, what could it be?

I see that it is now possible, via:

Dev > Statistics

To adjust individual erroneous stats.

I have some sensors that have been running for some years, and sporadically given a stats value that is a real outlier - so for instance 50000 when a normal value would be 5

Other than manually finding and correcting each one, is there a method to do a bulk fix for a sensor over all time - along the lines of “Set value = 0 where value > 50000” ?

I am having a problem with my Nest integration. I deleted everything and started fresh when we had to change the authentication method. I have 4 doorbell cameras and 2 thermostats. Everything works fine (after a lot of frustration and YouTube videos). The cameras show a picture on my dashboard, and the thermostats work great.

The problem I am having is that after a day or so the cameras start to drop out. I just get a grey box instead of a picture. Most of the time I can just reload the nest integration and they all come back up. But every so often I have to restart HA completely. I never loose control of the thermostats.

Below is a copy of a log from one of the cameras.
