The documentation for state detection is a bit DIY. Surely one person with a working integration can just share their setup? It could even be added to the documentation for copy and pasting, or even better, added to the integration itself?

I have a group sensor configured but it has a lot of decimals:
but if i insert string "value_template: ", it returns the following error:
" ‘value_template’ is an invalid option for ‘sensor.group’, check: value_template"
Can anybody advise me, how to round decimals?
Thanks a lot,
Aghelbert

I’m trying to setup an automation which plays a greeting when I open my office door.
I’m using a script blueprint which randomly selects preselected media from my local HASS media folder to play.
It works one time, but after that, fails and gives me this error.
If I restart HASS, it will work again once, but fail on the next one forward.
All the YAML is in those links, if there’s something you’d like to see that may help you diagnose and solve the issue just let me know I’d be happy to post them.
Thanks in advance everyone.

I have setup assist today using Piper and Whisper and was really impressed, but clearly it’s only useful for controlling HA at the moment - if I were to replace my Alexa devices I would not be able to ask generic questions like I do now.
It made me wonder if anyone had put together a ‘conversation’ integration that allows the use of a HA assist satellite to ‘talk’ to alexa via HA satellites by parsing the request and submitting it to alexa voice service, then getting the response back and reading it out?
I saw there are 2 ‘conversation agent’ integrations (Google and OpenAI) - Google’s doesn’t appear to be available in the UK and OpenAI seems to require a paid service… would be nice to hear if there are other options out there for answering general questions

Not posted here before but i’m stuck. Been using HA for many years and enjoy the application. I recenently updated the core as I have done many times in the past. Now on the computer I’m presented with the login screen showing language choice. There is also 1 place to put user name. But I can’t Enter anything the cursor dosn’t even show.
On my phone it shows version 2024.1.5 Websocket connecting…any suggestions of how to login

Greetings,
New to HA.
I have an RPi, which monitors various sensors around my pool. It produces MQTT messages.
I think HA has a nice feature that “discovers” MQTT devices (like Sonoff etc).
Questions:
will this feature “discover” any MQTT device, or does it expect a certain configuration (like a Sonoff Basic, Thermostat etc).
where can I read up on this, or better yet, find sample code on both sides of the MQTT connection, HA and application? that would allow me to customize the RPi’s answer to a “discover” and of course customize what to do on the HA side.
Thanks.

I have a panasonic particle sendor that can report particles in 5 size categories.
0.3-0.5um, 0.5-1.0um, 1.0-2.5um, 2.5-5.0um, 5.0-7.5um, and 7.5-10um
The standard types in HA are 1.0, 2.5 and 10 so pm1, pm25 and pm10
As of today I am binning the 6 channels into 3 and mapping them onto the existing sizes, but if possible I would like to have the finer resolution.
I am posting the data into HA using MQTT and tried creating new categories for the other particle sizes ( pm05, pm5 and pm75) , but this just results in errors and the data does not appear when the sensor is discovered.
Is there a way to add these or is this a feature request to add the new types?

Hi, newbie to HA here. I have a HA Green with a sky connect stick. Ive connected a few devices via ZHA but can’t get MQTT to work, do I require another dongle to run alongside the sky connect stick. The error logs I’m receiving quote “socat not enabled” Any help would be very appreciated

I recently acquired an Atom Echo for my Home Assistant setup, which is advertised with ESPHome firmware pre-installed(For HA as it says on the packaging), suggesting ease of integration.
Despite successful connection to the device’s WiFi, accessing the setup page at 192.168.4.1 results in a display error akin to a lack of internet connectivity, though pinging both 192.168.4.1 and 192.168.4.100 indicates the device is responsive.
I’m seeking guidance on properly configuring the device for my home WiFi, as it seems my current approach may be incorrect.
For reference, the device was purchased from here Atom Echo Aliexpress According to the reviews no one has had any problems and it should just be plug and play.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Is this at all possible? I am going to replace my Nest Learning thermostat with probably a Honeywell WiFi thermostat. The docs for the Honeywell Total Connect Comfort definitely requires a cloud account. I don’t care for the app because I have access to my HA from anywhere because I have a secure VPN access to my LAN.
Can someone please post a link on docs for Honeywell Integration in HA? I will probably go with RTH9585WF model.

Anyone know this new project? It’s a beta still, I wanted to know if someone uses it.Find data sharing secure in order to see the home assistant devices in it?

My setup is a HassOS running on my Raspberry Pi 4B and everything has been pretty stable for the few months that I’ve been set up. A key part of my setup is that when some things happen, I play a small (unobtrusive) audio snippet over a speaker in a stairwell. It’s been nice. I’m still pretty new to this though, having written a few configuration bits, and a few simple automations in YAML and that’s all.
I’ve done the HA updates as they’ve been offered, and there’s never been a problem. But with the last update it seems that the audio player I was using ffplay is no longer found.
I’ve noticed that the environment I’m in when I use the Terminal does not seem to be the same as what HA is in. If I do a “which ffplay” in the Terminal for example it would come up with nothing, but if I executed “which ffplay” as a shell_command in my configurations.yaml, and called it from the Developer_Tools>Services it would find the ffplay application and so I was able to use it successfully for months.
I don’t know that I can apt-get and install apps within HA’s run environment, and scanning for other audio players (mpg123 aplay sox…) doesn’t find any alternatives.
How can I either get ffplay back, or find some other audio player for HA automations?

Hello all,
Looking to use the RESTful command to send a command to an external webhook server to open and close the bedroom blinds at a certain time.
rest_command:
mbedroom_shades_up:
url: “https://server:9443/set/xxxxxxxxxxxxx/open/12”
method: get
content_type: “text/plain”
mbedroom_shades_down:
url: “https://server:9443/set/xxxxxxxxxxxxx/favorite/12”
method: get
content_type: “text/plain”
is this the correct implementation? I know I will need to very actual indent and spacing once in the config file.

Hi guys,
Coordinator: SONOFF Universal Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle CC2652
Firmware : Z-Stack 20211217
Aqara door sensors : MCCGQ11LM
Sonoff plugs : S26R2ZBTPG
Aqara door sensor info
IEEE: 00:15:8d:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Nwk: 0x9e4a
Device Type: EndDevice
LQI: Unknown
RSSI: Unknown
Last seen: 2024-02-16T20:05:10
Power source: Battery or Unknown
Quirk: zhaquirks.xiaomi.aqara.magnet_aq2.MagnetAQ2
I was wondering if someone could help, when changing the channel from 15 to 25 the plugs seem to accept the change but not the battery operated door sensors.
Do I need to remove the door sensors and repair or is it because if the infamous channel 25 curse ? Or something entirely different that I need to do in order for me to change channel
Many thanks in advance

I recently got a new electricity tariff and used the Epex spot integration to provide the current price. This was however in ct/kWh instead of EUR/kWh, what Home Assistant expected. Now the energy cost is 100x too high for a few days. I know of the edit function in the statistics menu, but this is very unpractical for numerous entries over a few days.
How can I change this in the history of the sensor? Also, I wouldn’t mind deleting the data for this time period altogether if it is easier (deleting might be even better, since my energy measurement wasn’t fully set up then).

I currently have telegram videos being send when frigate has events, but when there’s multiple events, only one video comes through.
I now simply have a 5 minute wait till it sends a video(with a automation that pauses video sending if one is being send), but is there a way to see when the video was send so it can start sending a second video?
Thanks!

Hi,
I have different types of thermostats in the house and would like to add comparable heating_needed and difference_to_outside_temp attributes that I can use in automations (some thermostats state they are in heat mode although the room temperature is abover the desired temperature). I’m just not getting it to work. Do I need to create new entities or can I add attributes to the existing thermostats? Can someone help me for this example:
(this thermostat is in heat mode, although it should not be. So I want to have a new value always showing “current_temperature - temperature” that I use in automations instead of the entity state itself (heat/off)…
hvac_modes: heat, off
min_temp: 8
max_temp: 28
preset_modes: eco, comfort
current_temperature: 19.5
temperature: 18
preset_mode: null
battery_low: false
battery_level: 60
holiday_mode: false
summer_mode: false
window_open: false
friendly_name: Zimmer 2 hinten
supported_features: 17
Thanks!

Good afternoon:
Had the first power outage since I got all my HA stuff up and running and, now that power is back on, Zigbee2MQTT is giving me the “502: Bad Gateway” error when I try to open the UI. Looked at the logs and noticed it’s failing to start…
Looked over the “Zigbee2MQTT fails to start” link referenced in the error and, while trying to verify the port in the configuration.yaml file, I noticed that /dev/serial is flat out gone…it’s just not there anymore…
…and that is where it was before…
Anyone else had this happen? I’m going to try shutting down the entire HA VM, unplugging the little USB dongle thing, starting the VM, then plugging it back in (and various permutations of this procedure) to see if maybe it’s just not being recognized or something, but I don’t know. First time dealing with all this.
Any info and thoughts greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!!

Hey everyone,
I had to restart my HA VM today because all my Zigbee devices became unresponsive.
Afterwards, most devices worked again right away.
Among the few that acted Up was a IKEA Tradfri on/off switch.
I removed it from Phoscon and re-connected it. So far so good. But suddenly, without any setup, the Switch toggles ALL Zigbee smart plugs that I connected via Phoscon and I can’t find any page in the Phoscon App where I could set anything like this.
Does anyone have some advice or similar experience to share?

I am trying to figure how to hook up my High Line 8 garagedoor opener with the very little information/diagram that was included as the manual.
I have a zigbee switch that I intended to use for it, but I am uncertain what ports to hook it into. The switch is currently programmed to send an impulse on/off. I have 230v available externally as the power source. There is 30 vdc available internally in the garagedoor opener, but the zigbee takes 110-230v ac.
If I connect a dead wire (no current, just a piece of wire) to port 1+2, the door open. But if I hook up the zigbee switch to those ports, it will send 230v through it. Maybe ports 2+3 should be used, but Liftmaster 772e sensor manual isnt totally clear what that actually does, I can just see that it is pictured in my openers manual.
Can any of you figure it out or have experience with the garagedoor opener?
