Hi,

just opened an issue here:

and wondering if someone else is experiencing the same.
Related to the topic does anyone know how to stop HA discovery, in general, to reduce broadcasting traffic?

Hi all,
I’m trying to create a chart showing power consumption as a stacked area, that is all values are added onto eachother lite in this example: Stacked Area Chart | Area Charts

For me ApexCharts insist on drawing each area on top on the other, and I can se the contours of underlying areas through the top areas.

What am I doing wrong here?

type: custom:apexcharts-card
apex_config:
  chart:
    stacked: true
  legend:
    show: true
header:
  show: true
  title: Power Consumption
graph_span: 30min
all_series_config:
  type: area
  group_by:
    func: avg
    duration: 1min
series:
  - entity: sensor.heater_power
    name: Heater
    color: orange
  - entity: sensor.dehumidifier_power
    name: Dehumidifier
    color: red
  - entity: sensor.it_closet_power
    name: IT

My end goal is to control a IR controlled LED strip with a template light.

What I have so far is this:

  - platform: template
    lights:
      test_light:
        friendly_name: "Test light"
        turn_on:
          service: button.press
          data: {}
          target:
            entity_id: button.david_tv_backlight_on
        turn_off:
          service: button.press
          data: {}
          target:
            entity_id: button.david_tv_backlight_off

        effect_list_template: "{{ ['test', 'test2'] }}"  
        set_color:

What is the correct yaml for a hardcoded effect list?

Docs say:

Defines a template to get the list of supported effects. Must render a list

Isn’t that a list I created?

When i put in a trigger saying wait for x amount of time, say 24h, i guess it does that (or does it?), but it still runs the same automation.

I thought in single mode another automation can’t run at the same time, so in my thought process it should not run again until that time has expired.

  - delay:
      hours: 24
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 0
      milliseconds: 0
mode: single

Having this at the end of the automation, but it still seems to trigger…

To avoid confusion, zjs2mqtt has been officially renamed. MQTT support itself isn’t going anywhere, but we heard from many users that they found the old name confusing. This will eventually be a breaking change in that you must update your docker compose files to pull the new image. For now, the old one will continue to work (with a warning).

The name of the addon itself will not change unless and until @frenck does so, as he controls the addon in the addon store.

As the title States. I have a large home assistant network set up for my business and would like to integrate another set of devices. I will be given an API key from the company that makes the devices and I was wondering if anyone could help me build the integration for it. Or at least point me in the proper area…

I have been playing around with a threshold sensor helper, and have been getting an unexpected result. I am using it to tell me when a room’s temperature becomes outside of comfortable limits. The goal is for the sensor to be OFF when the temperature is between 55 - 80 F, and ON when outside of that range. The following screenshot shows my current configuration, based on the documentation and from a post by a moderator in these forms named tom_l:

As you can see, the sensor value is between the limits defined by the upper, lower, and hysteresis. Regardless, the “Position” is reported as “unknown” instead of “Off” like I would expect. When the temperature does move out of this range, it switches to “On”, but then goes back to “Unknown”.

Anybody else have this result with the Threshold helper? Am I just configuring this straight up wrong for my use case?

BTW this is on Home Assistant Core (Docker Container) 2022.9.5 running on a RPi 3B+

Hey guys

I don’t have too many Zigbee devices and quite new to the technology, most of my stuff is all wifi based.

I started with a Sonoff Zigbee bridge flashed with Tasmota but I was having an issue with one Aqara motion sensor that was around 16m away so I replaced the bridge with a Sonoff USB Plus dongle which I reflashed to improve output power etc… and flashed the bridge using this guide so that it would work as a router.

The router is about 8 meters from the Zigbee dongle and about 4 meters from the Aqara sensor but it still goes offline intermittently, I’ve tried remove the device under development and re add it to both the Zigbee USB dongle and back to the router but am just not getting any joy.

I was thinking of possibly buying another Zigbee USB dongle and flashing it as a router but don’t won’t to go through that if I’m going to have the same issues.

The motion sensor is not faulty it works fine if I move it closer and if I take another motion sensor that is working fine, move it to the same location it too becomes unavailable.

Any ideas on how I can get this sorted out? I have some Zigbee devices that are even a little further away and they work perfectly.

Here are some images, its currently connected directly to the Zigbee USB dongle.

Getting back in to the home automation scene and thinking about some Aqara temperature and humdlidity sensors. I notice most of the listing say Aqara hub required. I am planning on using the sensors with home assistant and eventually dumping the data into MariaDB and plotting using Grafana. Can I use the Aqara hub to integrate these sensors with Home Assistant or do I need a different Zigbee hub? Any advice/recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi therre. I found a code snippet i thought i could change a bit, and reuse. But i get state unavailable i HA. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction?

Hi all,

I’m currently in the process of purchasing a new build house, and with it, we’re having some electric underfloor heating fitted to the en-suite.
From what I can work out so far, the smart controller is a Butech 8GM - BUTECH - butech smart controller 8GM . Does anyone know anyway I could get this integrated to my HA? I’ve searched a bit, but can’t find anything, so thought I’d just ask the wider community.

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

I have a Dexcom G6 sensor setup in Home Assistant. Everything work fine, but I can’t get an automation to trigger. Is there something I am doing wrong?
I have a lot of other automations working.

I’m needing a little help on a template to separate one sensor into two.

This data is how long is available on the utility - Gas/Electric.
Electric: 18 Hours left
Gas: 74 days, 17 hours left

as you can see, everything is separated by a comma.
So sometimes the format might be

Electric | Gas

• days,hours, separate, days,hours
• hours, separate, days,hours
• hours, separate, hours
• days,hours, separate, hours

From this, I’m wanting two new sensors
Electirc_Expt: (how many days/hours are remaining)
Gas_Expt: (how many days/hours are remaining)

HI all. After a little advice with debugging my setup. Been running HA for years and this is the first time i’ve had a fail after an upgrade (That wasn’t due to me missing breaking changes at least!).

Everything seems to work fine for around an hour, then things start failing. It is as if the docker networking falls apart and addons/integrations slowly stop working. The logs look as below:

Hi, today I installed Home Assistant to RasPi 4 8gb. I got it all installed well and other integrations work, but IHC hub is device I couldn’t connect. Config is from home-assistant.io/integrations/ihc, but just edited my own info there. Hub HW version is 6.1 and latest update installed. Below is screenshot of error that home assistant shows.

I have the following sensors that I use to track my day/night EV kwh usage

ev_daily_energy:
  source: sensor.shellyem_5e26f6_channel_2_energy
  name: EV Energy Today
  cycle: daily
  tariffs:
    - peak
    - offpeak
monthly_ev_energy:
  source: sensor.shellyem_5e26f6_channel_2_energy
  cycle: monthly
  tariffs:
    - peak
    - offpeak

The peak and offpeak are set by this:

- id: '1652831843092'
  alias: Energy - Switch tariff
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: time
    at: 09:00:00
    variables:
      tariff: peak
  - platform: time
    at: 00:00:00
    variables:
      tariff: offpeak
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: select.select_option
    target:
      entity_id: select.daily_energy
    data:
      option: '{{ tariff }}'
  - service: select.select_option
    target:
      entity_id: select.monthly_energy
    data:
      option: '{{ tariff }}'
  mode: single

I would like to add another tariff for solar values:

ev_daily_energy:
  source: sensor.shellyem_5e26f6_channel_2_energy
  name: EV Energy Today
  cycle: daily
  tariffs:
    - peak
    - offpeak
    - solar

But I am unsure how to switch to that tariff in the code.
I am thinking of using something along the lines of if sensor.openevse_state = Charging and {{ ''solar'' if states(''sensor.current_solar_generation'') | int > 0}}' but not sure how to create the automation that can toggle between all 3 tariffs.

Anyone more versed in yaml can please assist?

So I’m running a Nortek HUSBZB-1 controller with ZWaveJS2MQTT (v0.47.0) and for some reason Z-Wave controls from the Devices menu or Dashboards no longer functions after some time. I can go directly into the device in ZWaveJS2MQTT and control (On/Off) from there, but just not from HA. Looking through the Z-WaveJS2MQTT debug log, I see motion sensor nodes being updated every few minutes, so I know communication is working. What would cause an issue with controls?
