Hi Guys,

I was wondering if someone can help.

I am running Hassos on my RPi3.

I have an unsupported zigbee device that is not supported via Zigbee2mqtt. I found out that I needed to add a devics.js file to the zigbee2mqtt folder and add my device manually to this file.

I was them able to add to lovelace as a JSON mqtt device and I am able to control it. However I cannot use this device for automations etc… as it is not discovered in auto discovery in the Mqtt broker.

After some searching it seems that I have to edit a file called homeassistant.js to have my device as a proper entity that is recognised by home assistant.

Since I am using on a RPi3, I do not know where this file is located. I can browse via Samba share and I cannot find this file in any of the folders.

Can anyone help me find this file or tell me what I need to do to make my custom zigbee device a proper entity?

Many thanks in advance.

I’m running an Hassio installation os RPi4 for longer than 6 months. Don’t ask me why but I never had the need to use the scenes feature, but now I just realized that my installation simply doesn’t have it. It simply disappeared from the UI, even in Dev tools->Info page, it is not listed. Any ideas how to fix this?

I have a lot of automations that rely on my person group that holds the status of persons in the house. Now I would like to be able to add an extra person, for the baby-sitter. As I don’t want to track a phone for that person, because we have more sitters, I would like to send the person present or away with an input boolean.

After a lot of searching I still haven’t found a solution and wonder of anyone can tell me if it is actually possible to set a person state by input_boolean.

Hi
I am trying to stream from my IP camea (Vivotek) to a google hub.
The camera is sending in h264 and I am able to expose it on nabu-casa, so the camera shows up on my hub. But when I select the stream, it just shows a black image.
Have played around with different settings, but cant seem to figure it out. Anyone that can share some knowledge about this? I have configured the camera as this in my config:

camera:

• platform: vivotek
  name: Enterance camera
  ip_address: IPAddress
  username: user

Hi,

I have templating in various cards that I setup a while ago without any issues, but now trying to make a new card I’m struggling to get it to work for some reason.

When I use icon: ‘mdi:fan’ for the fan it works fine, but as soon as I use icon_template: it switches back to the default icon and ignores the template entirely :

2020-04-10-140111_998x581_scrot998×581 56.8 KB

Here is the code itself :

entities:
  - entity: light.bathroom_light_light
    name: Main Light
    toggle: true
    type: 'custom:slider-entity-row'
  - entity: switch.bathroom_fan_switch
    name: Fan
    icon_template: |
      {% if is_state('switch.bathroom_fan_switch', 'on') %}
        mdi:fan
      {% else %}
        mdi:fan-off
      {% endif %}
  - entity: sensor.bathroom_sensor_humidity
    name: Humidity
title: Bathroom
type: entities
show_header_toggle: false

What am I missing ?
Thanks

Hi

Until recently (2 or 3 HA updates back I think) I had sensor cards like:

     - entity: sensor.sdm230import
        graph: none
        state_color: true
        icon: 'mdi:import'
        name: Import
        style: |
          :host {
            --paper-item-icon-color:
              {% if states.sensor.import_power.state|int > 0 %}
                red
              {% else %}
               rgb(138, 185, 45)
              {% endif %}
              ;
        type: sensor

and the colour of the icon would change according to the if condition.

Why is this not working anymore?

Hi everybody,

I am currently trying to create an automation to water our plants twice a day; it is meant for summer, but I’d like to try it already, so I’ll work with summer and spring (explained below).

In order for the automation to work properly, I need it to check

• whether it is currently spring or summer => this is determined by my sensor.season, which will report the current season
• whether or not it is supposed to rain that day => determined by openweathermap sensor
• (whether or not temperature will be above a certain value that day; not sure if/how I will implement this)

So I need the automation to first check, whether or not it is either spring or summer (or condition), and, if either is true, check whether it will not rain that day and if so (and condition).

My current workaround would be to create an extra automation that will set something like binary_sensor.irrigation to true/false depending on the season, then use another automation to check rain probability and/or temperature (binary_sensor.irrigation_two or something like that), then use a third automation to trigger at sundown -01:30:00 and sunset +1:30:00, use and condition on those two binary_sensors, then finally trigger the irrigation.

I’d actually know how to do this, but I’d prefer to use one single automation for this, if possible. So far, all I got is that part below. Can somebody please help me out?

automation:
  - alias: "[Timer] Bewässerung Morgens"
    trigger:
      platform: sun
      event: sunrise
      offset: "-01:30:00"
    condition:
      condition: or
      conditions:
        - condition: state
# (...) not sure how to continue here
    action:
      - service: switch.turn_on
        entity_id: switch.kaercher_pumpe
      - delay: "00:03:30"
      - service: switch.turn_off
        entity_id: switch.kaercher_pumpe

Thank you for your ideas

Hello,

Each of my controllers has 6 zones, but currently only one controller is showing displaying 6 switches. I have posted this in the posted this in the github HA core as an issue but that was over 4 weeks ago and so far I have gotten crickets. Looking for any help with either figuring out what the issue is or how I can trick HA into accepting the  controller as a custom component.

I have a Shelly Plug S and I can turn it on or off from my dashboard. However, I am controlling a laser printer with it and I’ve heard that is is not good for laser printers to get turned on or off to fast. (they have to warm up.) How can you limit a switch so it can only switch state every 15 minutes. So I’ve turned on my printer I have to wait 15 minutes before I can turn it of.

I’ve copied my backup image of HA back onto my Pi4 to tinker around with during the Easter break. Because I’ve previously logged into HA from my desktop I was automatically logged in, however on my laptop I’m unable to do so because I’ve rather foolishly forgotten the password I used.

Trying to figure out how I can change the password without creating a new user or resetting it all. I still have access to the Web UI (and logged in), and I also have access via SSH (using the core_ssh addon).

I’ve tried to follow the step here, using the following command in SSH:

auth reset --username existing_user --password new_password

But my terminal returns the following error:

-bash: auth: command not found

Any ideas how I can resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

cleaning/checking my template sensors, Ive stumbled on this verbose state addition template:

I suppose this must be possible in a more intelligent way, but don’t see it at the moment…
add the values of all sensors ending with _actueel

anyone with a hint getting me on the road please? Ive had it before, long time ago… see Template to add values of all sensors with certain name ending.

but then I had the sensors in a group (no longer available) and the python script was way to powerful and at a high HA processor cost, because it was triggered by an automation that constantly ran…

so, hope while time has flowed, new possibilities have arisen… or skills for that matter

this almost selects the right sensors

{% for state in states.sensor if '_actueel' in state.entity_id  %}
 {{state.state}}
{% endfor %}

should only filter out None and unknown

like this:

{% for state in states.sensor if '_actueel' in state.entity_id and state.state != 'unknown' and state.state != 'None' %}
 {{state.state}}
{% endfor %}

thanks!

Hello everyone!

I want to control HomeMatic (RF/IP/IPW) devices through Home Assistant.
The problem is, there seem to be a lot of approaches to realize this and I have some uncertainties with them.
These are the approaches I’m aware of so far:

• HomeAssistant’s HomeMatic integration with a RaspberryMatic CCU with RPI-RF-MOD (other radio modules are supported too)
  • The RPI-RF-MOD is more advanced than the other HM radio modules
  • RaspberryMatic fully supports everything a CCU3 supports, so there won’t be a compatibility bottleneck there
  • IoT class listed as Local Push, but I don’t know what class the communication of the CCU and the HomeMatic devices would belong to
  • pyhomematic used by the integration supports many HM devices, but some have hiccups and f.e. the new HM-IP Wired series is not yet supported at all
• HomeAssistant’s HomeMatic OCCU Add-on with HM-MOD-RPI-PCB or HmIP-RFUSB
  • Both radio modules are less advanced (less range and performance) compared to the RPI-RF-MOD
  • The HmIP-RFUSB would only support HomeMatic IP, not RF
  • Both need more soldering compared to the RPI-RF-MOD, but that’s no real problem
  • I wasn’t really able to make out whether this implementation of OCCU is as capable as RaspberryMatic in terms of device compatibility and settings.
    In the configuration f.e. the type is listed as CCU2, and the CCU2 doesn’t support HM-IP Wired either, but only because of its performance, so I’m not sure if this applies here.
• Homegear with HM-MOD-RPI-PCB or HmIP-RFUSB
  • The same disadvantages listed above that are caused by the radio modules
  • Doesn’t list support for HomeMatic RF or HomeMatic IP Wired even though the HM-MOD-RPI-PCB is capable of it
  • Claims full support for HomeMatic IP and HomeMatic Wired, but again I’m not sure if it can do all RaspberryMatic could do
  • I don’t know how well the devices are handed to Home Assistant

Can someone with experiences with these systems name some advantages or disadvantages or correct what I’ve listed?
I couldn’t make progress with the documentation of the OCCU Add-on and Homegear on the topic and I think only having used these could shed light on some things, or maybe someone can point me to a different resource I’ve missed so far.

The main problem I have with using RaspberryMatic in conjunction with Home Assistant is the limited compatibility because of pyhomematic, but it seems to be advancing quite fast in that matter, but a lot HM-IP components seem to stall because of their different channel architecture and HM-IP Wired has had some people saying they’ll start integration in the past, but nothing has been pushed as far as I know.

The OCCU Add-on approach has the problem of not supporting the superior radio module (Does anyone know whether support for this is planned?) and that I can’t find if it lacks some features/device-compatibility of RaspberryMatic and if so which. Also I’m wondering whether its IoT class would be local push or local polling or whether it depends on the HomeMatic series.

Homegear doesn’t support the superior radio module too and I couldn’t find whether support for it is planned as well. It doesn’t seem to support HomeMatic RF (and maybe also HM-IP Wired because it’s not explicitly stated as well) at all.
Also I’m not sure how well it can be integrated into Home Assistant and how, as I’ve found only the statement that it can be integrated into home assistant on the homegear website up until now. Other than that, I found a deprecated Add-on and no integration or the like. Maybe through MQTT, but I have no experience with that yet. Would it belong to local push or local polling?

I will update and correct this post as new information arrives. I currently have RaspberryMatic with the RPI-RF-MOD and the HomeMatic integration running. I could go into a bit more detail what features of specific devices aren’t supported because of the interface to Home Assistant, but I think to keep it more general for now is better.

Kudos if you’ve made it to here! Because I couldn’t find anything comparing the approaches, I hope that we can create a resource together which can help other people in the future who want to use HomeMatic with Home Assistant.

Dear all,

First of all I would like to say thank you for the hard work everyone has put voluntarily into this project. I have been following Hass for a long time but it was not until recently that I decided to get involved and help my parents build a better/smarter home as they re getting older and need a few things automated.

HA is running in virtualbox on a Dell R410 (yeah I know, kinda overkill), but it is an always on server that lives there and serves entertainment purposes too.
I have already setup a simple dashboard for their garden lights (1500watts in total) with 2 Sonoff Basics connected to two power relays in a separate switchboard I purposely made for this project.
I used AlexxIT’s method and everything was setup perfectly.

My problem is that they still want a way to locally turn on their garden lights, without using the dashboard.
One way would be to butcher up the Basics, solder two wires to the onboard switch and run them down, about 20m (60ft) to an appropriate location in the house.

My question is: Is there a smarter way to do that?
As I do have a couple of Sonoff T1 and T2s lying around, is there a way to soft bind (I mean through HA) the wall switch to the basic switch?

I m sorry if this a noob question, but I ve read so much these past few days, I feel I m more confused than educated.

Thank you so much in advance.

P.S. As Alexx’s script is quite new, I can confirm by the way that T1 and T2 wall switches (european editions) were immediately discoverable and work perfectly.

So I stopped using my duckdns remote access to my instance since I switched over to cloud access from nabu casa. Since I closed off the ports on my router, google TTS also stopped working. Is there a neat way to enable TTS but not open up my instance again? Maybe by setting the base_url in the tts setup to my nabu casa url?

Running the latest version of HA on a pi/ssd. For some reason my automation in HA sends MQTT command light.turn_on just fine. BUT to the exact light (dimmer), it refuses to send light.turn_off.

I am watching the MQTT messaging with an explorer, and this confirms the above is happening.
It also will not send a “toggle” command.

Any ideas would get welcome.
