Hi there!

I have an older Home Ventilation System that I am trying to automate. I managed the hardware part with a Z Wave Dimmer (Quobino Flush 1-10V) and can control the fan speeds in Home Assistant from 0-100% using the slider.

Now I am trying to set up a clever automation and since I am very new to HA I have no idea how!

I managed to set up a simple “Up” and “Down” automation based on a Humidity Sensor crossing certain thresholds, but this isn’t working the way I want it to.
First issue is, that I can’t set any percentages. I can only select “brighter” or “dimmer”. It also isn’t very dynamic.

Since I want to eventually have this working with 3 CO2 or VoC Sensors I need something a little more complex I’m afraid.

My idea:
The “0-10V Dimmer” should regulate in a bracket between 20 and 80% of it’s range. The “Baseline” should be 40% (that is 120m^3 of airflow).
Based on the current humidity (later CO2) readout it should ramp up slowly until the Sensor reading starts dropping and then slowly ramp down again.

I hope someone fan help me with this. Thanks!

Hello,
since weeks ago, my HA begun restarting for minutes. Developer tools / console in the browser under F12 shows the following, about 40 instances, after that it drops the attempt and HA starts in three seconds. I am running on Synology VMM. Any ideas where to go? It might be linked to lovelace as the core.2895f1d4.js seems to be related to lovelace.

Hello,

I recently configured Google Assistant with Home Assistant. Everything was working. Suddenly now I am getting errors. Google says the devices are offline, and cannot talk to them. Home Assistant shows errors like:

2022-08-03 18:11:11 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.google_assistant.http] Request for https://homegraph.googleapis.com/v1/devices:requestSync failed: 500

If I try to sync the devices, I get errors like:

Is this something I have done wrong, or is something broken with Google right now?

Doing research I see similar errors from people who try to sync the devices, but in this case it makes the google integration unusable right now. Not just the sync operation.

EDIT: Just to clarify this was entirely working before, it suddenly broke and I didn’t change anything to break it.

Hello Everybody,

i use HA 2022.7.7, OS 8.4 together with Shelly RGBW2, FW 20220209-093926/v1.11.8-g8c7bb8d.

When I open the settings from the dashboard to adjust brightness or color, nothing useful happens. Sometimes, the brightness changes, mostly the wrong one (white vs. color brightness). On and off do work but the slider on the light card is also dysfunctional.

Adjusting it on the devices’s interface directly works as expected.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

i have a heatpump (LG Therma V) which I connect to via the Modbus integation (modbusTCP).
The most parameters I can read are temperature or basic on/off switches.
But some parameters are a list of possible values which are stored as integers; like this:

This is how I read that parameter (now)

      - name: energy_state_input_holding
        scan_interval: 5
        address: 9
        slave: 1
        input_type: holding

What I would like to achieve is that I can have a dropdown/radiobutton list in my dashboard where I can read/update that energy state (as well as all other options of my heat-pump).

I have made a Helper with all the status. What I need is a starting point on how I can link those states to the integer value I can read/write from and to the modbus. In C# I would have made an enum and a databinding between the parameter and that enum.

Hello all,
I’m trying to create automation that sends notification if a temperature goes above or below a certain threshold. Those threshold limits are set with Number Helpers using an Entities Card.

I have a RPI4 with the HA operating system.

I had a fan to control the temperature of the CPU using CPU temperature reading and making a kind of PWM control with HA, just followed this link

Since GPIO is no longer available, I placed the fan connected to 5V pins and it is working 24/7.

I just started to read about remote_rpi_gpio, and start wondering if I can use it to control my RPI4 GPIO pointing the IP address to localhost.

I’ved to follow the configuration guide and I had no sucess, I need further reading and trying.

Did anyone used remote_rpi_gpio to replace old GPIO control?
Should I keep digging or does not make any sense waste time here?

Dear Community,

I started with a frontend-.YAML: fe-og-kin2.yaml
I included a template-file using button_card_templates: !include button-card-templates.yaml
Within the template-file, I configured the following template to render my cover-buttons

schmiddy-cover:
    size: 30%
    icon: |
      [[[
        if (variables.function == "up")
          if (entity.state == "opening")
            return 'mdi:arrow-up-bold';
          else if (entity.state == "open")
            return 'mdi:arrow-up-bold';
          else return 'mdi:arrow-up-bold-outline';
        else if (variables.function == "stop")
          return 'mdi:pause';
        else if (variables.function == "down")
          if (entity.state == "closing")
            return 'mdi:arrow-down-bold';
          else if (entity.state == "close")
            return 'mdi:arrow-down-bold';
          else return 'mdi:arrow-down-bold-outline';
      ]]]

Using the variable ‘function’ I wanted to manage the button-design for up, pause and down.
But unfortunately the nested IF-statements don’t work properly.
=> up works fine, the variants bold/outline of the icons displayed as I wanted it.
which is: in state ‘opening’ AND ‘open’ it should be bold, otherwise outlined.
=> But in down-mode, bold-Icon displays during closing, but not in close-state (instead outline is displayed)

I just don’t understand, why.

Which language is used between the brackets [[[ and ]]]?
Can anyone give me the hint and correct my code?
I would be very thankful.

Best regards

Lars

I’m trying to set the icon and color for this sensor:

sensors:
    livingroom:
      friendly_name: Livingroom Temperature Rounded
      #device_class: presence
      value_template: >-
        {{ states('sensor.living_room_temp_sensor_temperature')| round }}°
    icon_template: >-
      {% if state_attr('sensor.living_room_temp_sensor_temperature', 'temperature') |int > 74 %}      
      mdi:thermometer-high
      {% else %}
      mdi:thermometer
      {% endif %}
    icon_color: >-
      {% if state_attr('sensor.living_room_temp_sensor_temperature', 'temperature') |int > 74 %}      
      red
      {% else %}
      white
      {% endif %}

But I keep getting this error when I’m trying to validate the config… what am I missing?
Thanks all!

Invalid config for [sensor.template]: expected dictionary for dictionary value @ data[‘sensors’][‘icon_color’]. Got “{% if state_attr(‘sensor.living_room_temp_sensor_temperature’, ‘temperature’) |int > 74 %} red {% else %} white {% endif %}”
expected dictionary for dictionary value @ data[‘sensors’][‘icon_template’]. Got “{% if state_attr(‘sensor.living_room_temp_sensor_temperature’, ‘temperature’) |int > 74 %} mdi:thermometer-high {% else %} mdi:thermometer {% endif %}”. (See ?, line ?).

hello. i’m looking for good weather integration that

• is accurate for my location near london
• updates frequently
• exposes all the info in entities and attributes.
  accuweather might be an option but the problem is that i can’t create an account because they want me to solve a CAPTCHA but that CAPTCHA doesn’t appear on my screen. and if i can’t see it, i can’t solve it.

i wasn’t happy about met.no because i couldn’t extract essential info like air pressure

i also tried NWS but that one doesn’t update anywhere near frequently enough (sorry, 1 update in more than 20 hours just doesn’t cut it)

is there an integration or an add-on that can extract the relevant info from METAR code? if so, i could use that to get the data from my nearest airport.

Hi all

I have some lights in the house that are primarily triggered from motion. They switch off if no motion is detected for 3 minutes.

There is however a button that also toggles the lights.

At the moment, these are two separate automations and the lights will turn off based on the motion detection above.

What I would like to do is have the lights trigger from the motion, but if they are turned on from the button then they stay on until the button is pressed again.
Is it possible to combine these two things and have that overall control?

Cheers

I have a sensor created like this:

mqtt:
   sensor:
     - name: "BoilerTemp"
       state_topic: "BSB/json"
       unit_of_measurement: "..C"
       value_template: "{{ value_json.BSB.value }}"

And this is the json where that’s get send to the Mosquito broker:

{
    "BSB": {
        "id": 8830,
        "name": "DHW temperature actual value top (B3)",
        "value": "43.8",
        "desc": "",
        "unit": "°C",
        "error": 0
    }
}

This all works fine if I just get 1 message. If I add extra messages to be sent by the mqtt client it starts to get challenging. They all end up in the same topic BSB/json and also have the same format:

Like this:

{
    "BSB": {
        "id": 8830,
        "name": "DHW temperature actual value top (B3)",
        "value": "43.8",
        "desc": "",
        "unit": "°C",
        "error": 0
    }
}

{
    "BSB": {
        "id": 8700,
        "name": "Outside temp sensor local",
        "value": "27.0",
        "desc": "",
        "unit": "°C",
        "error": 0
    }
}

I want to create a sensor per “id”

So I need to find a way to tell the sensor to only accept data if “id”==“8700” for a certain sensor and if “id”==“xxxx” for any other example.

I do know the logic but I cant find a example to get this done in the sensor config.

Any help or example would be much appreciated. Let me know if there is a better approach in HA

Hello,

I’ve found the following blueprint from @vigonotion here

I’ve the same model, however using Deconz, by checking the Blueprint I guess I should change ZHA to deconz, but I wonder if someone have some example to set up the actions.

The idea is to set up the button action to Turn on/off a Plug for example

thanks in advance for the support

I need some help regarding the intervals for bluetooth tracker. This is my current configuration

- platform: bluetooth_tracker
  interval_seconds: 60
  consider_home: 180
  new_device_defaults:
    track_new_devices: false

My phone will show as home every minute (I mean every, no exception) and away 25-30s after that. So, it cycles from home to away every 30s. If I set interval_seconds to less than 30s than situation improves. Every now and then (sometimes 15 minutes, sometimes it could be more than a hour) it will show as away and second after that as home. It seems to me that there is some other interval unrelated to bluetooth scanning that I am unaware of and checks if devices was seen in some interval less then 30s and sets the device to away.

Why can’t I use interval_seconds with value greater than 30s?

Hi,
I’m at the beginning of my Z-Wave journey. I have couple of TRV and door sensors installed and they seem to work fine. However I have recently purchased 2nd hand Aeon Labs DSC12 Micro Switch with energy metering. I managed to get that connected fine. The only issue I see is with the electric consumption sensor updates. I suspect that this has something to do with the Z-Wave Device Configuration (I’m using Z-Wave JS Addon). Under the Z-Wave Device Configuration there is a long list of Parameters but I’m not sure what do they do - i.e. what are those Report Groups 1,2 and 3 ?
Can someone point me in the right direction what to do with that.
Thanks

Hi,

I’d need a bit help getting restful command sent with parameters taken from other items, I have created buttons using lovelace gui for replicating AC remote.

I’ve created also automation which calls rest command if such send button is pressed. So far it works, button calls the automation.

Then I have done rest command like this, in configuration.yml:

heatpump_with_params:
    url: http://192.168.1.100:1880/api
    method: POST
    content_type: "application/json"
    headers:
       accept: "application/json"
    payload: '{ "token": "xxxx", "cmd":"on", "temp":"{{ states(input_number.heatpump_temp) | int }}", "mode":"{{ states(input_select.heatpump_mode) }}", "fan": "{{ states(input_select.heatpump_fan) }}" }'

But such variables are not found. The entity ids are copied from items, so no spelling mistakes should be there.

What is wrong with the syntax?

Error:

Stopped because an error was encountered at August 3, 2022 at 12:09:18 (runtime: 0.02 seconds)

UndefinedError: 'input_number' is undefined

I’ve been trying to get my time based conditions to work for the better part of a couple days now. I’ve read the documentation on the HA conditions and even searched through 10+ posts with similar topics.

I’m not sure if this is a bug in the UI or I’m completely missing the point. My goal is to set an automation based on weeknights to turn off after 3 minutes, when no motion is detected, between 5pm and 10pm on weeknights: Sunday - Thursday.

I’ll post the full YAML at the bottom but here are some screen shots of valid entries that work and then simply changing the “after” time to a still valid time, results in a red flag.

Here is a simple dummy test to prove im not losing my mind.:
9am to 10pm is valid

But yet once I change the after value to 5pm, it is no longer valid.

Full YAML:

alias: 'Kitchen: Motion Off Weeknights'
description: ''

  - type: no_motion
    platform: device
    device_id: my.device.id
    entity_id: binary_sensor.g3_instant_motion
