I feel like I am missing something obvious. I keep reading the instructions but don’t see any way to put my stick into inclusion mode.

I followed the steps to install my homeseer smart stick in the zwave js add=on. I believe my stick was recognized and installed. I see a bunch of security key values that were generated in the config.

Now - where do I go to put the device into inclusion mode?

I tried going to:

Settings->Device and Services->Devices and choosing zwave-js.

From there what I am supposed to click on? Under the configuration widget, the only option is Update and it say up to date.

I don’t see anything else related to z-wave anywhere in the UI.

Thanks!

Been enjoying key master but the notification system inherit to it is not my favorite. I added a basic script to pass the variables but as it stands when I use the keypad to unlock my door it sends me 3 msgs. I’m going thru the yaml in the packages folder and can’t find what I’m looking for to remove this nor in the script itself. Can anyone help? I really just want the one saying keypad lock and the name of the user. Also what the heck is RF Unlock? Thanks all

Hello,

I’m receiving the error message “Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘0’]” when attempting to implement the provided automations. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I’m new to Home Assistant and need assistance in resolving this issue.

Hi there,

I bought one of the 1nce SIM cards as I have a Homeassistant instance complete offline and I want it to send a SMS when a leak sensor detects a leak.

My idea was to send an SMS to my mobile phone, but the IOT card does not send SMS directly to a mobile phone. But it gives the option to redirect it thorugh a REST request

More information here: SMS Forwarder Service

The 1NCE SMS Forwarder can forward MO-SMS messages and Delivery Reports (DLR) for MT-SMS towards a customer configurable URL. The 1NCE system acts as an HTTPS client. You will need to provide an HTTPS server endpoint to accept the request. Please specify the URL (+ port and/or path if applicable) to forward SMS to your application.
More documentation and sample requests can be found in the 1NCE Developer Hub.

My idea was to provide my Homeassistant instance as a server endpoint and a senso entity which reads the JSON genereated by 1nce and displays it

I think this might be possible with the REST API but I am strugling to do this. Does anyone have any tip how to make it work?

Thanks

I added an enbrighten motion detection switch.

If I turn on/ off the switch manually the status is not being updated on the dashboard. Looking at the logbook for the device, I am seeing “last seen” messages corresponding to the change. Do I need to do anything special to get it to update the on/off status in the dashboard?

Thanks!

I know this has been brought up multiple times, as I found solutions in the following link, but I can’t get a once-a-day sensor working (i think)

I have the following template sensor

- trigger:
    - platform: time_pattern
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      id: 'midnight'
    - platform: state
      entity_id: sensor.server_rack_electricity_cost
      id: 'change'
  sensor:
    - name: Max Rack Cost
      state: >
        {% set outt = states('sensor.server_rack_electricity_cost')|float(2) %}
        {% set maxt = states('sensor.max_rack_cost')|float(2) %}
        {% if  outt != None  and (trigger.id == 'midnight' or maxt == None
          or outt > maxt) %} {{ outt }}
        {% else %} {{ maxt }} {% endif %}

Basically I have a counter that shows the cost of my server rack over time. If i look at this in grafana, it looks like this:

What I want, is a single value to show up every day at midnight for the max of that day. With the code above though, the trigger doesn’t seem to be working, as I still am getting a saw-tooth pattern:

How can i get this to JUST show me the value recorded at midnight and midnight only?

Hello - great integration! however I just saw that it pings mob.yalehomesystem.co.uk a lot, like 4-6 times a second. Is there a bug somewhere or it’s a problem with my installation?

I reviewed the default template and it doesn’t use properties that HA has now. It looks like it might be out of date. So, I made this one and wanted to share.

I’m trying to connect my Ikea Skydrag light strip to HA, but it’s not working. I’ve searched the forums here, reddit, and elsewhere and can’t find a solution.

My setup:

• Ikea Skydrag light strip plugged into a Tradfri driver
• SkyConnect plugged into HA Green via USB extension cable

What I’ve tried:

• Turning toggling the power to the Tradfri driver on/off 6 times in 1 second intervals and clicking to start searching for devices right before the last on/off cycle
• Doing above while the light strip is in Auto and On modes
• putting the SkyConnect dongle right next to the Tradfri driver
• I was able to connect an Aqara mini switch via SkyConnect

Is there something I’m missing?

Hi. Title says it all. Please, pretty please tell me my mistake.

my (complete) templates.yaml is as follows:

- sensor:
    #### Substraktion
    name: "Validity Live"
    unique_id: 84d3ab17-c7c1-4345-9705-2c11702faa9b
    state: >
      {{ '%0.1f' | format (states('sensor.t_h_sensor_2_temperature_2')  -
                            states('sensor.openweathermap_temperature')) }}
    unit_of_measurement: "°C"

I got rid of the error message which was because of some spacing or brackets or something, took me an hour. It just doesn’t do anything, still.

I just want a dummy variable of live outside temperature and reported outside temperatur difference.

If someone can tell me how to make that an absulte, that’d be a bonus.

while trying to solve this problem, I added the line with

        {%- if states is not none and states.binary_sensor is not none -%}

but it did not have any effect.

I have a automation A that notifies me of movement. Most time it is fine to be triggered several times until I switch it off. In particular times I want the automation being turned off after the first trigger.

I created automation B that turns off the automation A - works

Then I did not find a trigger for within B that fires on A firing. In forum I found to let A trigger automation B. That works, but too well. A triggering B even if B is turned off.

Now I search for a condition to be placed within B that it does not proceed if it was off, even if A triggers B. Of course also other solution are fine.

I have 3 buttons that control my roller blackouts in the office room.

Button ‘Big’: control the big blackout
Button ‘Small’: control the small blackout
Button ‘All’: control both blackouts

I want the state of the buttons ‘big’ and ‘small’ to change accordingly when I change the state of the button ‘all’
E.g. if I close all blackouts, other two buttons status should change to close

If I close both small and big blackouts, status of the all button should change.

Any idea how to do this?

Hey there,
There are a few Helpers (timers, booleans, selects) and Automations that I explicitly Delete, which successfully removed from the UI.

But after a restart, all of them added back. On their ‘Entities’ item, I see they show as ‘Restored’ and on Helpers page, they look ‘Read Only’.

I tried

• Purge their Recorder data
• Cleaning the Browser cache, logout, login
• Restarting the device after every attempt
• Checked Relations with any other automation or script

I really want to get rid of them - hopefully by not touching any YAML manually.

Any leads?

Yesterday I received an USB conference mic/speaker to use it connected at the miniPC that is hosting my home assistant.
I’m running latest HA OS and 2024.4.4
As soon as I connected it, it’s been recognized and I setup it to be my assist microphone input and output.

This is the device:

The voice pipeline is working fine and if I connect an usb headset to the minipc, it works.
But this conference usb/speaker is not working, this is what I see in the logs of the Assist Microphone extension:

Hello,
I’m new to HA and need some help getting started.
So far I have used FHEM and am now in the process of migrating my automations.

When we leave the house I want to lock the terrace door using NUKI. Depending on the position of the door handle, it may not be possible to lock it. NUKI then outputs “jammed”.
I would then like to use this to send me a critical notification and close the shutters on this door.

Can anyone give me a tip on the best way to solve this?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi there!

I have a quite good implementation of an up-to-date HA running (for my capabilities and expectations ), but I am struggeling with one configuration. The issue Hits me especially in the contest of lights automation or heating automation.

Szenario one: Lights in a room are Manager with time triggered automation for example for the daily Routinen. An additional rufe is set for motion detectors - when motion, 100% light for 15 minutes. At the end of the 15 minutes I would like to return to previos state of dimming (or off). Plus: Maybe the light Was from 9:00 to 12:00 at 20%, then at 11:55 motion. How to manage the Situation that the light should be change from 100% to off instead to 20%, as it is always after 12:00 when the automation end?

Szenario two is very similar, but instead of lights it is with thermostats: time automations for certain Temperaturen, overruled by door open contact that are conflicting with the time automations.

Sorry for the simple question, but I am not having a smart idea to handle the simple Tasks…

Is there a way to preserve Status? Variables? How to overrule These in the background?

Maybe somebody has a smart idea here…

Have a great weekend!

I’ve been wondering with wait_for_trigger in automatons, if you have more than one trigger, is it effectively an “or” with them, so when one happens the wait is ended?
