Hi,
I have a HiveMQ cluster. I am trying to connect my homeassistant to the HiveMQ broker but I am getting the “connection failed” error every time for no apparent reason , I am able to connect to the HiveMQ broker using other devices just fine. I am aware that MQTT setup through yaml has depreciated so I am attempting this through the gui.

I’m new to HA, and I’m trying to set up a bare-metal installation on a Pi 5; software versions are Core: 2025.2.4, Supervisor: 2025.02.1, Operating System: 14.2, and Frontend: 20250214.0. I have the basics working, but now I want to set up non-root SSH so I can use Ansible to retrieve my backups. (I know using a NAS would be easier, but I’ve not yet either the knowledge nor the financial wherewithal.)
Most of the instructions I’ve found online seem outdated, as they refer to system settings that do not exist on my installation. I’ve tried to follow Debugging the Home Assistant Operating System, but I’m still getting darwin@homeassistant.voncorax.internal: Permission denied (publickey). when I try to connect. Also, I appear to be connecting as root, which I do not want; how do I create a “normal” (non-root) user on HA?

I am trying to change the colour of an icon based on its state value. I have it working for another couple of entities when the value is a float or a string but can’t get it working when it’s an integer. At the moment it only shows as black but changes to a colour when I put icon color: green for example. Have check Dev tools and it’s defo an int.
What am I missing?
- type: entity
entity: sensor.heating_on_manual
icon: mdi:hand-pointing-up
icon_color: |-
{% if states('sensor.heating_on_manual') | int == 0 %}
green
{% elif states('sensor.heating_on_manual') | int <= 3 %}
amber
{% else %}
red
{% endif %}

action: navigate

Hi,
After my Domoticz crashed I moved to home assistant. Moved my Zwave stick to my new installation and the Zwave integration found all my devices again. However, not controllable.
Whichever device I flip the switch or anything, I get error codes. This was all 2 years ago and I kind of written off my Zwave network and functionality.
Until I installed the Zwave JS UI this weekend and BAM, this UI finds all my devices again ánd I can control them as if nothing happened since two years.
My problem is, that the devices from the UI are not discoverable in home assistant, I only see the devices from the Zwave integration which still give me the errors and I can’t do anything with them.
How can I make my uncontrollable devices in the Zwave integration work again, or, how can I use the controllable devices from the UI in my scenes?

I have a REST command set like this:
rest_command:
call_libenske_doky_api:
url: "https://XXXXXXXX/api.php" # URL without parameters now
method: POST
verify_ssl: true
payload: >-
username=XXXXXX&password=XXXXXXXX&action={{ action }}
content_type: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
And I use it with automation like this:
alias: Elevator
description: ""
triggers:
- event_type: myhome_cen_event
event_data:
event: pushbutton_short_press
object: 1001
pushbutton: 1
trigger: event
conditions: []
actions:
- action: rest_command.call_libenske_doky_api
data:
action: elevator
mode: single
How can I expose this to my Voice assistant? If I expose the automation, it does not trigger it. If I expose the rest command, it does not fill in the variable. Any ideas? Thanks!

I’m currently running Home Assistant on a Blue I bought a few years ago, and I’m using Alexa for Voice. I want to switch to Home Assistant Voice and run everything local. This will be a dedicated system with no Docker or VM usage. What is a good prebuilt system to get good performance with voice without being overkill?

I’m using rest to pull data from a Peplink modem via the api. There are 4 WAN connections and I’m trying to figure out how to find and display which one is currently online based on whether the stausLed is green.
This yaml is just one of the 4 WAN’s and all have the same statusLed attribute. What would be the best way to see which has a status_Led that is green and then get that into a sensor.
This is getting beyond my abilities so would really appreciate any help with this.
- resource_template: "https://[peplink_ip_address]/api/status.wan.connection?accessToken={{ states('sensor.peplink_token') }}"
scan_interval: 31536000
verify_ssl: false
sensor:
- name: "Peplink WAN 1 Status "
value_template: >
{{ value_json.response['1'].statusLed }}
json_attributes_path: "$.response['1']"
json_attributes:
- "name"
- "enable"
- "statusLed"
- "message"
- "uptime"
- "type"
- "priority"

I have a new setup of a Z-wave network on Home Assistant Green.
I initially used the Z-Wave JS integration and was able to add my two devices.
I now want to migrate to Z-Wave JS UI and am following the instructions at Z-Wave - Home Assistant
It mentions obtaining the security keys from the official add-on. But where does one find those when using the official Z-wave JS add on? There are some older mentions of looking in the Supervisor, but of course that has all now changed. Can this be done with the ZWave JS add on disabled?

I am running HAOS on a RPI5 with 8Gig DRAM – and it seems to have memory and power to spare.
If I plug a monitor into HDMI1, I get console access to the HA CLI which is great.
I would like to plug an LCD monitor (with either mouse or touchsreen) into HDMI2 to view some of my key dashboards. This will be an easy way to check the status of thermostats, temperature & humidity sensors, etc.
This seems like a natural use case for the RPi running HA OS and would allow me to have an always-on view of key dashboards without either having to set up a separate RPi or Android device in kiosk mode or needing to open a browser on my laptop or the app on my mobile phone.
Surprisingly, I haven’t found any links to good ways to do this.
Even if native HAOS is headless, it would seem that this could be a natural use of an add-on to run a light weight window system plus browser to create a kiosk-mode on the RPi running HAOS. Basically, a kiosk in a docker container…
Is there a reason why this has not been done or at least is not popular?

I’m looking for a way to detect if Wave JS-UI has restarted, such as after an update. The reason for this is I have multiple automations that monitor the state of Z-Wave devices, such as an outlet on a chest freezer. The automations alert after 15 seconds of the device becoming unknown or unavailable. These automations work well, except when the integration is updated. At some point in the update, the device becomes unavailable and the automation triggers, which gets the wife all excited about a tripped breaker if I don’t tell her it’s just another update.
I’d like to be able to watch the event bus for this activity but can’t seem to find exactly what to listen for. I’ve looked deeply at Spook (it’s installed and running) but don’t see a way there either. Component Loaded did not fire any events with a Reload or Disable/Enable of the Z-Wave integration. I really don’t want to reconfigure the automation with a longer [for:] value as it defeats the purpose. I’m actually watching almost all of the circuits in my panel box, via the connected z-wave devices.
If I can detect a change of state of the Z-Wave JS-UI integration or the underlying Z-Wave integration, I can write conditions to prevent unwanted false alarms. Does anyone know if it is possible to watch the event bus for this kind of activity?

Hello,
I have my HAOS setup on my TrueNAS and all but two of my devices running in parallel with HomeKit (for my Wife).
The only two devices I cannot seem to make work with one of the following methods are my MyQ Chamberlain Garage door opener, and my EcoBee 4 thermostat. I’ve googled and trolled here and reddit but haven’t had luck…
I am wondering if someone else can make some recommendations for me to try?
1.) find an HASS Integration for
2.) HACS integration for
3.) HomeKit Bridge recognition, ‘automagically’
Thanks,
Jake

I have six Third Reality buttons 3RSB22BZ.
For over 1.5 years they have been working fine. Then a few months ago they stopped working. I can not honestly attribute this to an update but could be possible something changed that I missed in the update notes. Currently on 2025.2.4
They are connected to HA through Zigbee2mqtt. They show up in my zigbee docker container and they show up in HA.
Here is the yaml for my automation
- id: "fdfa78bb-99bf-4b34-b619-2fa5473e8bfd"
alias: "Master Bedroom Ceiling Light ON"
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- sensor.button_master_bedroom_ceiling_light_button_action
not_from:
- unavailable
- unknown
to:
condition: []
action:
- service: light.toggle
data: {}
target:
device_id: b8517f5b1fe160644146041ac09f1965
mode: single
What I can not find is an entity that has a button action.
All of my other sensors, most Third Reality are all fine and work well.
Dont know what is happening.
Anyone have any ideas.

Not sure if I need to open a ticket on GitHub or not, but I have been trying to setup these bulbs with little success.
The bulbs connect to Apple Homef fine, but when enabling pairing mode, the bulbs may or may not connect to Home Assistant. I have a strong Wi-Fi network and 3 Apple HomePod mini acting as border routers. Some bulbs take 5-10 tries to connect to HA
Out of my 5 bulbs:
2 connected to HA first, then were shared to Homekit,
2 connected to Homekit then were shared to HA (because they wouldnt connect to HA first)
1 connected to Homekit but wont share to HA at all.
In HA, the two I connected natively are connected fine but the two I shared keep becoming unavailable.
I also grouped them all via a helper, but when doing a group command only a couple bulbs respond. All bulbs respond well in Homekit though.
Looking at the logs, I get errors like but I can ping the device fine. I do have Unifi network but have everything setup correctly (I think):

I am using HA with a GPS position and fencing. Right now it works so that if the position is outside of the fence the automation is triggered. What I would like is for it to only trigger after it has been outside the fence for specific length of time.
Any idea how to accomplish this?

I just migrated from using SmartThings over to Home Assistant and have encountered problems being able to duplicate an automation I used with ST.
I have a Yale YRD110 Z-Wave lock on my patio door and with ST I had an automation that would turn on the patio and back yard lights when I unlocked the door via inside deadbolt after sunset. When I locked the door back, it would then turn the lights off. This made it easier when I let the dogs out at night or if we had family/friends use the patio.
I can make the trigger happen if the lock is locked/unlocked automatically, but not manually from the inside deadbolt.
In searching I found that others had used a sensor that was toggled off by default (alarm type where 21=locked by manual action i.e… turned the deadbolt and 22=unlocked by manual action) and I enabled it and tested using it but HA does not update the status.
The “alarm type” status does however update from remote actions (24=locked by remote action and 25=unlocked by remote action).
I am using the latest version of HA (2025.2.4) along with default install of Z-Wave JS.
I did view the debug logs and it appears to ‘see’ the manual action:
2025-02-17 23:20:18.113 DEBUG (MainThread) [zwave_js_server.server] 2025-02-18T04:20:18.110Z:

I often use a history chart to check the voltage variation between battery cells. Before the last update, the history graph labels on the Y axis displayed as many decimal places as the sensor provided. After the last update, the values started rounding in a way that is not intuitive.
One of my sensors has values in the range of 0.001 - 0.01 most of the time. Previously, the Y axis labels had the corresponding values (0.001, 0.002, 0.003 …). Now the values are displayed as 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.01, 0.01. Accordingly, I have now lost the ability to visually assess the changes in the sensor values over time. Is there a way to change the number of decimal places in the Y-axis labels?
Thanks for any help with this issue.
