hello I tried, also following the instructions of some posts, to configure a sensor that reads the temperature of an analog signal provided by the Logo via mqtt.
Unfortunately I can’t read anything even if I can read the data provided by the Logo via mqtt explorer.
Here the topic from mqtt explorer:

Logo_pub = {"state":{"reported":{"AI1":{"desc":"AM-word-1-1","value":[296]},"$logotime":1735591142}}}

Here my configuration yaml

mqtt:
  sensor:
    - name: "Temperatura AQ"
      state_topic: "temperatura acquario"
      unit_of_measurement: "°C"
      value_template: "{{ value_json['state']['reported']['AI1']['value'][0] }}"

When I put the value template on template editor this is the result

I have three shell scripts where I want to post a variable to the script.

  device_power: > 
    curl --location --globoff --request PUT "http://{{ipAddress}}/api/v1/{{authToken}}/state" \
    --data '{"on": {"value": true}}'

  device_brightness: > 
    curl --location --globoff --request PUT "http://{{ipAddress}}/api/v1/{{authToken}}/state" \ 
    --data '{"brightness" : {"value":100, "duration":30}}'

  device_scene: > 
    curl --location --globoff --request PUT "http://{{ipAddress}}/api/v1/{{authToken}}/effects" \ 
    --data '{"select" : “Scene1”}’

For device_power this is ‘true’ or ‘false’, switching the device on/off, for device_brightness, this is a numeric value between 0 and 100, and for device_scene, this is a scene name.
How do I have to change the shell script so it can accept a variable and how do I post these variable is a yaml script

I need to “group” 2 entities of different domains. One is a switch. and the other is a number… The number. entity will always be either 1 or 0 (on or off). Possible? I’m going to assume if this is possible it will require yaml and templating, so if anyone responding can provide VERY clear examples, I would appreciate it.

Good evening,

I googled already but failed and must admit that this is probably a pretty stupid problem.

My aim: turning on my outdoor Hue lights when it’s dark, leveraging the light sensor/entity of the Hue motion sensor. However it’s not triggering the automation.

Do you may see what is causing the issue? The entity value UoM should be lux. If I look up the motion sensor/entity I can always see the value which looks fine.

Many thanks and I apologize probably for raising a beginner problem.

My automation code:

I just got my Voice PE unit. Really impressive little box, and the setup process was slick.

I’m struggling with Assist results though, hoping someone can shed some light on this.

I have Assist working with an OpenAI conversation agent via the Extended OpenAI Conversation integration. I have this agent successfully using Google searches to answer questions (weather forecast, sports scores, etc…). That works well via the Assist window in the HA interface, using text queries.

I have the Voice PE setup to use the same Assistant (I only have one configured) with the OpenAI conversation agent. But, I can type the same question into the the web interface and speak it to the Voice PE and I get different results. The text interface will answer correctly, the Voice PE says that the search results didn’t include the information.

I can’t figure out why the results would be different to the same question just based on how it’s submitted. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Setup:
1 Assistant configured in HA -Conversation Agent: OpenAI via Extended Open AI Conversation integration

• Speech to text: Faster-whisper
• Text to speech: Piper

Extended Open AI Conversation:

• OpenAI - gpt-40-mini model
• Configured for Google search via example on the integration Github page
• Use tools enabled

Something with the condition is not working how I imagine it would, because all I get is the default path of the choose block.

Hello,

I am having issues with getting my Reolink 811a camera brought into HA. I’m using HAOS in a virtual machine with Proxmox as a host. Frigate runs on a different virtual machine and restreams the video. All of that seems to be working, but I don’t have control of the camera outside of the video feed. I’m referring to the floodlight, mic, speaker etc.

Prior to ever using Frigate, I added the Reolink integration to HA, and could control these functions, but for some reason now all of the entities come up showing:
Cannot change status. Disabled by Config entry.

Also, the integration itself doesn’t show up on the integrations page. I’ve tried to add it again, and it says that it’s already been added. I’m guessing at some point I must have disabled it to limit connections to the camera, but I don’t know how to get it back as I don’t see it under integrations.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to create a card in HA that mimics this card. The card will turn on the light, show it’s status and also show the power consumption. I understand how to create the 2 cards individually but I don’t understand how to show all on one card.

There is obviously something, well, a lot of things, I don’t know about using the ‘media_player.plex_plex_for_alexa_alexa’ entity. I have added it to the custom:mini-media-player card but the card shows ‘unavailable.’ Now, if I start Plex playback on Alexa via voice command, the current track is shown along with the album art and a pulldown labeled an ‘Browse’ which does in fact allow browsing of the media server.
I thought that perhaps the Alexa Plex skill needed to be started somehow but simply calling up the Plex skill on Alexa without playing a track does not change the HA card indicated status.
I did see on my Plex server that HA issue "unable to connect to “Home Assistant” securely. Perhaps this is the problem? Obviously HA is able to connect to my Plex server given the ability to browse when Alexa Plex is actually playing. It also seems that the ‘unavailable’ status also appears when Plex is pulling up the next track, i.e. between tracks. Since my HA is not actually hosting a server, perhaps the connection error I see on my Plex server is irrelevant.

Hi,

I’m currently working on setting up some automations with TTS via my Sonos speakers. Everything is working fine, but what I want to achieve is to have the spoken TTS text announced at a specific volume level. When it comes to MP3 files, this works well: the music continues to play in the background, but the music file is played at a set volume. However, I haven’t found a good way to implement this for TTS announcements.

Could anyone help me find a solution for controlling the TTS volume independently, similar to how an MP3 file is handled?

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,
Really happy to join this community. I have set up a HA first on PI3 and now on NUC using KVM. Everything works fine. I want to set up a PSA controller, here also all good.
Except one thing which makes me cray : switch are simply not recognized.

I even try a very simple configuration.yaml:

default_config:

switch:
  - platform: command_line
    switches:
      test_switch:
        command_on: "echo 'on' > /tmp/test_switch.txt"
        command_off: "echo 'off' > /tmp/test_switch.txt"
        command_state: "cat /tmp/test_switch.txt"
        value_template: '{{ value == "on" }}'
        friendly_name: "Test Switch"

I then restart HA (system restart) and when I look for switch.test_switch in Developer Tools → States…nothing!

Any help is more than welcome.
Thanks

Hi, I’m new here.
I have a device that is designed to operate only on heating with TUYA integration.
As it is identified as Heat/Cool, I want to change it to Heat.
How do I do this?
Thank you very much!

There is this thread that extensively describes ways to add Matter devices.

Using HA inside a VM devices cannot be added directly because the host is connected through WiFi, (client) WiFi cannot be bridged, and commissioning (using non-routable packets) fails (completely silently, no error given).

Using HA on a hardware device the device is in the correct network but it has no Bluetooth, and even if it had it is not in range. Then a companion application needs to be used.

On an old phone with half-broken ancient firmware the Play store does not work for whatever reason. Freedroid has HA application. It detects the HA in the network correctly. However, Freedroid only has the ‘Lite’ application, and that cannot add devices.

So is there any realistic way to add Matter devices?

To add insult to an injury an ‘offline’ protocol needs the Play store. That does not sound offline at all.

Hello. I have tried for hours and days to try to do this simple task. All I want to do is add the values of 3 sensors that are in mqtt.yaml. I have 3 Solar Controllers and I want to add up their PV Yield for the day… I can get the PV yield for each controller from mqtt, but I can’t figure out how to add them. Thank you for any help. I have tried to make a template but don’t know where to put it or I’m just doing something wrong. I need help with making the sensor or template or platform. I’ve found several examples and don’t know the terminology. I also need to know where to put it. Does it go in mqtt.yaml or configuration.yaml? Once you help me get it figured out this time I should be having fun making lots of others. Thanks again.

This is them from mqtt.yaml:

line 1 in mqtt.yaml is sensor:

Has anyone figured out how to address the color of the ring portion of the Aqara T1M Light when attached directly to HA via Zigbee (not via HomeKit)?

Here’s what my current setup looks like:

But when scripting any automation I don’t see a way to address the color directly. Thoughts? I’m wondering if I’m going to have to get an Aqara hub to address things but hopefully someone smarter than me has figured this out.

Thanks in advance.

Hey !

I’m using the input_text to set up a door lock using a custom publish via MQTT
looking for two things and could not find anything online that worked on my setup.

1. A way to limit the number of characters and only allow numbers in the input text (it’s possible to setup a maximum number of digits in the input_text, but it allows the user to type whatever it wants, and will not update the entity, I was looking for a way to limit the input in the input procedure)

2. a way to generate a random password with 6 digits (only numbers)
