Hi, one of my devices show the temperature and humidity with a lot of decimal how can round to only 2 decimals in the following code?
custom_fields:
temp: >
[[[ return
states[‘sensor.ble_temperature_govee_termometro_higrometro’].state +
‘°C’ +’ | '+
states[‘sensor.ble_humidity_govee_termometro_higrometro’].state +
‘%’]]]
Thanks in advance

Hello
In my job (renewable energies) there is a concept named equivalent hours, that is the hours at maximum power needed to produce the energy produced by WTG in a timerangee. As the wind turbine production depends on the wind speed, cannot produce always at full power and it’s an easy way to see how much powerdensity has a location during a period of time.
I want to use the same concept to my heating system. I live in an apartment with central heating system. There is a central circuit of hot water and each department is connected through a TRV valve controlled by a thermostat inside the apartment. My Tado thermostat is sending an % command to the TRV to open a %, so it lets a percentage of the maximum water (and heat) to my apartment. It’s very helpful to avoid temperature overshootings but the heating hours statistics is not very helpful in this case.
I have configured an history_stats to register the time my thermostat is opening the valve following this post but it’s very different to have a 25% open than a 100%. So I want to use the equivalent hours concept to my heating. The idea is to apply the percentage to the time at each percentage and register it into history_stats, but I don’t how to implement it.
Any idea or suggestion on how to do it would be very helpful.

Errors & warnings in case of any failures are flooding DB.
They may be generated really fast → DB is flooded → DB is growing → no space left on a device
These messages could be like:
{“name”:“homeassistant.helpers.entity”,“message”:[“Update for sensor.htpc_asus_z170_a_nuvoton_nct6793d_temperatures_temperature_6 fails”],“level”:“ERROR”,“source”:[“helpers/entity.py”,942],“timestamp”:1708058055.8718996,“exception”:“Traceback (most recent call last):\n File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/helpers/entity.py", line 942, in async_update_ha_state\n await self.async_device_update()\n File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/helpers/entity.py", line 1261, in async_device_update\n await hass.async_add_executor_job(self.update)\n File "/usr/local/lib/python3.12/concurrent/futures/thread.py", line 58, in run\n result = self.fn(*self.args, **self.kwargs)\n ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\n File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/openhardwaremonitor/sensor.py", line 104, in update\n values = array[path_number]\n ~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^\nIndexError: list index out of range\n”,“count”:1,“first_occurred”:1708058055.8718996}
and I see no use for them in DB.
And these old records are not purged on HA reboot.
That particular message was about OpenHardwareMonitor.
The integration is updated every 30 sec (by default), this message comes for every sensor (let it be 20 sensors).
When smth bad happen with HA/setup - amount of records within a minute could be very much higher, other integrations, other components of HA, …
Is there any way to block these messages from being recorded into DB?
I guess someone may start saying here “you should find out a reason of these errors/warnings instead of asking silly question”. Thank you, Cap, this kind of advice not needed. Finding reasons is another task.

My goal is to have a sunset automation to check if any lights are currently on (in lieu of an occupancy type sensor), and if so, also turn on my living room light group. Is there a more efficient way to do that than I have here? Thank you!
alias: Living Room at Sunset
description: Turns on the living room 30 minutes after sunset if other lights are on.
trigger:
- platform: sun
event: sunset
offset: "00:30:00"
condition: []
action:
- if:
- condition: template
value_template: "{{ lightsThatAreOn | count > 0 }}"
then:
- service: light.turn_on
target:
entity_id: light.living_room
data:
brightness_pct: 100
variables:
lightsThatAreOn: |
{{ expand(states.light)
| selectattr('state', '==', 'on')
| map(attribute='entity_id')
| list }}
mode: single

I’d like some help understanding how to use a template in the action section of an automation to use the trigger in the action.
So, in example…
Trigger: ‘bedroom light’ changes to ‘on’
Conditions: …
Action: ‘Notification, {{ triggering entity (bedroom light) }} turned on.’
I’d like to use this in several different automations but don’t fully understand how to accomplish it.
I’d really appreciate some help, thanks!

I’m starting from scratch with HomeAssistant in a KVM, with a SkyConnect USB passed-through. I have no Apple Homekit or any other network/border router. I’m trying to build a pure HomeAssistant + Matter/Thread system.
This is how my Thread looks:
Now when I try to add my first Thread device (a new Eve smart plug) using the iOS app, it says I need a Thread Border Router in my network. Why does the iOS app not know about the border router I have? How can I make it know?
Any help is appreciated, and please remember I’m new to this, so if there is anything obvious that I might have overlooked, that’s totally a possibility.

On my monthly energy bill the electric company charges something like €0.78c for every day.
I’d like to add it that 78c charge to each of my daily running costs on the energy dashboard but no idea how go about doing that.
How are people doing it?

Can I template the last changed attribute of an entity_id?
e.g. If I pass a script a variable which is an entity_id can that script then determine the last changed value for that entity?
service: script.my_script
data:
triggered_by: trigger.id
In script.my_script is there a correct syntax to do this?
- condition: template
value_template: >
{% set last_changed = states.triggered_by.last_changed %}

After an extremely frustrating time (HA Yellow just…“stopped working” in the middle of a day) I finally got things restored…kind of. Except that HA-Y refused to recognize the ZWave stick. Despite trying to uninstall, read logs, reinstall, tweak, change USB ports and a whole lot of other VERY frustratingly poorly documented things…I finally found the answer that worked (somewhere else here): delete the device, delete everything you can related to Zwave.JS and remove the dongle. Reboot. Then reboot again with the dongle in and let it “discover” it…reinstall…Boom! All good.
Bizarre that there is no effective “complete uninstall” method documented.

Hi Community,
I currently working on getting external access working. For that I would like to automate the process for updating the DNS record on my own domain. I have REST API access to the DNS server responsible for my domain.
My plan is to use an automation to update the DNS record with the IPv6 address if changed.
The IPv6 Address I‘m already getting.
Is there any way to get the configured External_URL to be used in a template? Currently I‘m using an additional input_text but then I have to change the URL on two points if I want to change them… I‘m not a friend of unnecessary redundancy, and maybe it‘s interesting to learn how to access the configuration metadata of home assistant.
Greeting.

I just noticed that there’s a core file in my config directory that has been there since 2022.
[core-ssh ~]$ ls -lah ~/config/core
-rw------- 1 root root 2.0G Oct 28 2022 /root/config/core
[core-ssh ~]$
From past experience this is usually when something crashes it dumps a core file out but I didn’t want to delete it and find out the hard way that it’s something used real-time by Home Assistant. Does anyone know if I can just remove this 2GB file without bad ramifications?

Hi-I am brand new to Home Assistant and my brain is 73 years old so this is a new challenge for me and my brain.
I want to add my ecobee to Home Assistant and I went to the website to get an API and entered my ecobee email address and password. The screen comes back to enter it again. So I did. And again, etc… It never goes any further. What am I doing wrong? Thank you, Judy

Here’s a video of what I’m talking about
In short, when I load the view with the camera feed, it starts with one feed, then switches to MSE, until finally landing on RTC.
I’m using a reolink doorbell with a frigate card. Here’s the YAML for the card…
type: custom:frigate-card
cameras:
- camera_entity: camera.doorbell_fluent
title: Doorbell
webrtc_card:
entity: camera.doorbell_fluent
url: 192.168.60.162
go2rtc:
modes:
- webrtc
live_provider: webrtc-card
live:
preload: true
auto_play: visible
lazy_unload: hidden
auto_mute: hidden
menu:
buttons:
microphone:
enabled: true
I’m just looking to find a feed that works quickly and loads only once, thanks!

I had HA installed on an Raspi3 and I was accessing it via http://myhome:8123.
I upgraded now to a Proxmox installation and migrated the in HA instance. That worked mostly, but now I can only access it via the IP address or http://homeassistant:8123
I’d like to go back to http://myhome:8123, however I cannot figure out how to do it
If I remember correctly I changed that in the Android app (I think the app even asked me if I want to change that) when set up HA on the Raspi. But it was a long time ago and I cannot find any setting to do it now.
Could someone please give me a pointer on how to do this?

I have a sensor that displays the current state of what my ducted heat pump is currently doing. The numerical statue values returned from the device are 0 = Fan/Idle, 1 = Heating, 2= Cooling. When someone opens the sensor the history shows the numerical state so they have to remember what number means what. It looks like this currently:
Is it possible to customise the current sensor so that the history shows a name I assign to each value instead, without having to make a new template sensor?
