I have a recent project - a connected doorbell sending in to an RPi hosted HA instance via MQTT. I use it to trigger a broadcast on one (or more) Google Homes and I am very happy with this solution which works well. I now want to add an extra enhancement: when the doorbell is pressed, turning the outside light (Tuya wifi switch) on for 3 minutes, but only if it’s dark. And this is where the problem starts.

When it’s dark, the rule works pretty well (although I do sometimes get an on -> off -> on from the light before it stabilises for the required 3 minutes). The problem is that when it’s light, the light is still being turned on and then off after perhaps 1 second, but weirdly, the notification rules (put in their for fault-finding) are not being triggered. I’m new to HA but I think I’m doing it right. I’ve tried a couple of different (valid) syntaxes for the condition command, but none work correctly.

Any suggestions as to what I’m doing wrong here? The exact automation config I’m using is posted below, with only the identifying URLs and entity IDs changed:

- id: '349873443422'
  alias: Front Doorbell
  description: ''
  trigger:
    payload: front_door_ring
    platform: mqtt
    topic: doorbell
  condition: []
  action:
    - service: media_player.volume_mute
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.broadcast_speakers
        is_volume_muted: false
    - service: media_player.volume_set
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.broadcast_speakers
        volume_level: 0.5
    - service: media_player.play_media
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.broadcast_speakers
        media_content_id: http://www.myserver.com/doorbell-2.mp3
        media_content_type: 'music'
    - condition: and
      conditions:
        - condition: state
          entity_id: sun.sun
          state: 'below_horizon'
    - service: persistent_notification.create
      data:
        message: "Sun down - light on"
        title: "Test"
    - service: switch.turn_on
      entity_id: switch.xxxyyy
    - delay:
        seconds: 180
    - service: switch.turn_off
      entity_id: switch.xxxyyy
    - service: persistent_notification.create
      data:
        message: "Sun down - light off"
        title: "Test"

So, to clarify, when the sun is “above_horizon” (i.e. it’s daytime), the light turns on and then off immediately, but the notifications don’t fire. When the sun is “below_horizon”, the light turns on for 15 seconds and then turns off and the notifications fire accordingly.

Any suggestions or ideas here?

Hello guys!

So a problem started a few days ago, i think it was after 102.2. Whenever the system is firing a shell command, ha crashes. Saw that this was an issue with the stream: component before but have tried to remove that and it didnt work. No error mentioned in the logs. Anyone else got these issues?

Hello,
I am trying to setup a bath room fan. It is supposed to turn with the light switch and to keep going for 20min if the light was on for at least 10min.
Is something like this possible with basic Tasmota rules or do I have to go deeper into the firmware?

In addition I’d like to be able to switch this rule on and off via a flag/timer for winter and summer.

HAd a look at the Markdown cheat code, but tbh, that doesnt really help a lot…
Maybe this is not the right card to do so, but until anyone has a better idea, please would you have a look how I can do better. The efforts for the table are above, below are several others I still need to order and style.

Hey
Got a newbie question about the Restfull switch.
I’ve got a pellet stove that can be controlled with http commands. As i want to use a generic_thermostat i need to create a switch to turn ON/OFF the stove.

The rest commands are formated like that:
http://192.168.1.xxx/cgi-bin/sendmsg.lua?cmd=COMMAND_HERE

GET+STATUS will return:

{"INFO":{"RSP":"OK","CMD":"GET STATUS","TS":1575311921},"SUCCESS":true,"DATA":{"STATUS":7,"LSTATUS":51}}.

STATUS 1, 2, 3 or 4 means that the stove is ON and 0, 6, 7, 8 or 9 means the stove is OFF
SET+ON will turn on the stove
SET+OFF will turn off the stove

Anyone can help me to create the switch? I’m so lost i don’t even know where to start.

Thanks !

Is there a way to make my google mini’s switch some lights on or off whenever the sun goes down or up ?

I’d like to switch on the light depending on this, just as for example home wizzard does with their smart switches, so it can be used on everything in my home.

Any answer would be greately appreciated.

I have three Fibaro Wall plugs.
Two of them works as they should.
The third doesn’t work.
It is listed in zwcfg_???.xml and looks just identical as the other two when I looked it over.
I can see it among all the devices, but I cant get it to show in dashboard, and I cant control it.

Any tips or tricks I can try?
Hassio has an issue with renamed zwave devices so I cant choose it and “repair” or even se it at all in the drop down menu.
But that seems to be a bug since forever.
And that is the next topic to discuss…

First I just want the Wall plug to be usable.

Please help

Hi All,

I’m new in this forum, and new with HA. Tried first Hassbian, then with Hass.io image for RB Pi3b (but it never worked). In the end, I installed Hass.io with docker on Raspbian Buster Lite.

I think all is working quite fine, but I’m here for a question.
All the changes made inside the configuration.yaml seem to have not effect in the overview.

I’m sure doing some mistake somewhere, the question is: where?

In the https://.duckdns.org/states is possible to see all the Konnected’s binary_sensor, and generally, all the changes made in the configuration file.

In the https://.duckdns.org/lovelace/default_config is possible to se only (and always) few information:

What I’m doing wrong? I saw many video and read a lot of documentation, and I understood that all the the modifications on the configuration file will be visible in the overview.

Can you give some point of reflection to understand how to solve this mistake?

I’ll be grateful if you could link the right documentation to study for this case.

Bye

I’m trying to implement a simple security alarm with multiple control buttons that should a) turn off the alarm if it’s already fired and b) toggle ‘armed’ status of the system if there is no ongoing alarm. Current setup is like following:

input_boolean:
  arm_status:
    name: Arm Status
    initial: off
  alarm_bell:
    name: Alarm Bell
    initial: off

automation:
- alias: Security buttons turn off alarm
  trigger:
    # multiple button triggers, all work fine
  condition:
    condition: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.alarm_bell
    state: 'on'
  action:
    - service: input_boolean.turn_off
      entity_id: input_boolean.alarm_bell

- alias: Security buttons toggle armed status
  trigger:
    # the same long triggers block
  condition:
    condition: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.alarm_bell
    state: 'off'
  action:
    - service: input_boolean.toggle
      entity_id: input_boolean.arm_status

I wonder if I can “merge” these two automations into one. I know from documentation that conditions can be used in action, but as I understood, they can only stop actions at certain point when condition is false, while I need to run different action otherwise. Thanks.

I have my CC unit flashed according to zigbee2mqtt.com , but can´t get the addon to work.

Can anyone help, please?

Howdy,

I’ve been using HASS for a while but mostly with Google, Philips Hue, and SmartThings devices. This is the first time I’m setting up a Z-Wave device.

I believe Z-Wave is working correctly, I’ve been able to add the Leviton outlet to the network, but no entities are showing up. Ex, I was expecting switch.something to show up in my entities list. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong.

Things I’ve tried:

• Heal Network
• Heal Node
• Restart HASS
• Restart device (Raspberry Pi)

Here’s what shows up when I request Node Information:

Hi,
since traveling to the eastern part of our globe, I would be interested if we could have a sensor/weather alert for tropical storms world wide, like we can have for the world wide quakes.

Think I couldn’t find it in the description of the available geo-location integrations or weather components, but might have missed it though. Some of the available services seem to be limited to specific areas?

nothing listed here, so maybe they are not available?
tried to find the correct settings on https://www.gdacs.org/default.aspx or https://www.gdacs.org/Alerts/default.aspx but it isnt that straight forward to have a generic setting for HA…

this would be 1 storm in geojson: https://www.gdacs.org/datareport/resources/TC/1000636/geojson_1000636_31.geojson

but, how to incorporate that into HA, and, more importantly, how to have HA select the relevant events based on the config?

this is a full rss link: https://www.gdacs.org/xml/rss.xml

thanks for helping/having a look

Hello.

I am in the process of migrating from my homebrew control panel based in Javascript to HASS, which I am running on an RPi 3 (and will probably move to a 4 with an A2 SD in the future, but that is another story).

I have studied, written some configuration,yaml, and got some stuff to work like UVC cameras and temperature sensors. However, there is an issue I have been unable to work out.

The issue I am facing is in integrating my devices. I have a bunch of Arduinos that accept GET commands and report their status as json. For instance, here is something from my pump room Arduino:

alfredo@panel:~ $ curl 'http://saladebombas:8080/Estado'
{"status": "success","modo": "invierno","TRef": "25.00","ACS": "false","bomba": ["true","false","false"], "temperatura": ["25.31","46.63","45.94"],"memoria": "6781","puertos crujis": "1","EEPROM": ["0","15","0","25","0"]}

(please excuse names in Spanish, I never thought I’d have to share this much)

If I want to start the heating pump from the ground floor, I issue a GET command like this and get this response:

alfredo@panel:~ $ curl 'http://saladebombas:8080/EncenderPlanta?planta=0'
{"status" : "success"}

Now, with the sensor integration I am able to read the temperatures off one of my Arduinos and have a fancy card with a temperature history. So that works for me. Great!.

The problem I have is sending commands and tracking the status. The classic switch, actually.

I have tried to use the switch integration, but I don’t really understand how to let it know that I want to GET a resource to switch on, and another to switch off. Then I moved to the template switch, but that requires the device to accept POST commands which my devices don’t. I could do that if there is a compelling reason (like for example “dude, everyone does it that way”), but if I went with GET commands it’s because of simplicity in the server as Arduinos are not very powerful platforms.

I did modify the status of the pumps from “0” and “1” (which is a literal readout of the pin status) to “true” and “false” to try and make it easier on the integration.

I also played with the RESTful binary sensor, but couldn’t get it to work either.

So my question to the community is, how would you go about integrating these Arduinos? Would you modify the Arduinos themselves to make them behave consistently with some popular platform and easier to integrate, or not? If yes, which platform should I use as an example? Either way, could you give me an idea of what integration to use and roughly how to go about it?

Any ideas, and also pointers to others that may have described similar setups, would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi All,

I use this custom alarm integration in my HA and access its view from a tablet running WallPanel for Android app.
It opens the alarm view (http://hassio.local:8123/alarm), but a user can swipe the screen from the left edge and access the sidebar even though it’s set to “always hide” (I access HA from the tablet as a normal user).

I would like to allow this user to access only the alarm view for security reasons - is it possible to do so at all?

Hello,
I have a 11 curtains with doyya DC1602 remote control.
I just receive the RFXcom device and able to send command to curtains via windows manager software.
For the HA integration I read a lot but don’t understand…
I read a “magic” id of 09190603. From where it is ? Is it the same number for my curtains ?

If I understant I have to declare the rfx device in the configuration.yaml like:

rfxtrx:
device: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-RFXCOM_RFXtrx433XL_DO462ESY-if00-port0

And after, may I have to declare each curtains or each curtain commande (up, down, etc)

How can I use the devices in automation ?

Many thanks for explanations !

Best regards

Thierry Vorms
