Hello!
I’ve been recently looking at my systemmonitor ethernet input and output, and they seem to be very large! I am seeing on the order of multiple GBs over the course of 4 days. Does HA really use that much data?
What values do you see in yours, and over the course of how many days?

I have the following template:
- service: var.set
data_template:
entity_id: var.time_done
value: "{{
(as_timestamp(now() + (60 * (states("var.time_left") | int))) | timestamp_custom("%H:%M", true)
}}"
the template works correctly in the template editor. The automation is flagged as having errors.
I have tried both data with value_template and data_template with value…neither works.
var.time_left is number of minutes so I multiply by 60 to get seconds.
I’m confused as to why I’m getting an error when I check the configuration.

This is probably a rookie error as this is my first “hack” but after multiple hours of trying to figure it out, I’m in need of assistance. We purchased a really nice ceiling fan that unfortunately operates on 303.9 MHz frequency so the Sonoff Bridge I purchased won’t communicate with it. I used a D1 Mini and hijacked the feed from a spare remote through irrecv and now I’m want to use mqtt.publish through Home Assistant to control the fan. Special thanks to MQTT control of DC fan/light for getting me this far.

I am having trouble adding in a Reolink POE camera to my HA and lovelace. Here is my yaml:
stream:
- platform: generic
name: OutdoorRear
still_image_url: "http://192.168.1.59/cgi-bin/api.cgi
cmd=Snap&channel=0&rs=wuuPhkmUCeI9WG7C&user=***&password=***"
stream_source: "rtsp://***:***@192.168.1.59:554/h264Preview_01_main"
Model is RLC-420-5MP
I add the text to my configuration, reboot and there is no “camera.OutdoorRear” entity available.
Any idea what I screwed up? I am sure it’s me…

I would like to have a Bi-Monthly cycle for the Utility meter component.
The default cycle parameters are hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly.
How do I achieve bi-monthly rest on a specific date say 20th of every alternate month?

I created a sensor to get tomorrow’s weather, but it grabs the weather exactly 24 hours from now with this:
- platform: yr
name: YRWeatherForecastSymbol24
forecast: 24 # 1 day forecast
monitored_conditions:
- symbol
I realized I want the weather from noon the next day, so my thinking is this:
- platform: yr
name: YRWeatherForecastSymbol24
forecast: {{ 24 - now().hour + 12 }} # 1 day forecast at noon
monitored_conditions:
- symbol
I think I’m on the right track but ‘forecast’ is expecting an integer, not a formula. How can I get this second example to work by doing the math and putting the result in the ‘forecast’ field?

Hi people, i have a question i would like to use xiaomi mi smart wifi plug locally on my zigbee2mqtt+ha… in this moment i can see the smart plug (i got their ip and token and i added manually) now i would like to know how i can use them without internet but in local. My pi4 is connected by internet with wifi.
In this moment im not using any aqara gateway. I read that i can change the ip through an old version of xiaomi mi app. Im already using an old 5.4 any suggestions?

My Vision ZM1701 does not report the latest log record automatically plus I do not see a way to retrieve the latest lock record in HA.
In ozw_admin, I can set the log record to ‘0’ which “gets” the latest lock record but how do I publish that command via MQTT? I think I might be able to figure out how to retrieve it…

I can see the input_boolean change state when I turn the light on/off and I can see the light change state as well, but the buttons don’t hide any more?

Hi everybody, I share my hassio application integrated with home assistant with all components of my family. I activated the notification too when someone push a button. Now I would like to print in the notification the account of who push the button. This is possible in your opinion? thank you very much. Best regards

Hi, I’m using Garbage Collection that creates a calendar with the information on the kind of garbage that is collected every day.
I’d like to read that calendar from an automation to be able to create a notification for what is going to be collected the following day.
I can clearly see the data for the whole month filled in in the Calendar, but I have no idea how to reference to the content of a future date.
If I inspect calendar.garbage_collection in the Developer Tools I see only the content for the current day.
Any idea?

Sorry if this is the wrong place ,but I know there has to be people that have this down to a fine science 
.
What is the best way in your opinion to compare two or more variables looking for patterns? Right now the best I’ve found is just making a history card and starring at them until I notice something.
Are there any good guides and how to compare two sets of data in Grafana for home assistant data? Like two separate types of input say energy usage and humidity and plot it on one graph to see if they correlate?
Let’s say as an example I thought a roommate was leaving his window open while the AC was running. How could I say compare the average run time of the AC while he was home compared to the average runtime of when he wasn’t home and maybe account for other variables like humidity, solar angle and outside temperature?
Just want to hear the innovative solutions people have come up with with their own problems.

In Lovelace it is currently not possible to define the amount of decimals displayed for sensors. If you want to define / limit the amount of decimals displayed you will need to use the code editor -> use a template.

Hello,
I’d like to buy this ZWave module : NICE IBT4ZWAVE
https://products.z-wavealliance.org/products/3837
It’s made by Nice (owner of Fibaro) and it used to control motorized gates and doors. It compliant with Z-Wave Plus Version: 2, but I can’t find any reference to this module working with Home Assistant.
Any chance that’s it’s already integrated in native Home Assistant ZWave integration and will work normally as a ‘generic’ device " GENERIC_TYPE_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL " ?
Thanks,
David

Hi All,
Just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction to be able to access / login to HA remotely via two different sub domains.
Hass1.duckdns.org
Hass2.duckdns.org
I have tried but it seems point to 1 only and advises certificate is for 1.
I’m assuming some port forwarding network related issues.
if I have 443 pointed to 1 ip I can’t point it to the other obviously!
Thanks in advance!

I don’t currently have any smart heating products, but I’ve been doing some research and have a few questions about how the climate platform would work and be automated to help me narrow down my search for a suitable product/ecosystem.
Broadly, I think that I have the following options:
Option 1 is of course trivial. This post, and the block of YAML below, is me trying to figure out how practical Option 2 is. It should provide far greater flexibility, but I’m wondering if it’s worth the increased complexity.
TL;DR of the below YAML is:
Since I don’t have any equipment yet some of the service and entity names below will be nonsense. Hopefully my intentions are clear.
Is this pretty much what people are doing? Have you gone down this road and found it to be impractical? Or are you really happy with it?
Is there anything in HA or the climate platform I’m clearly missing which would make all this far simpler?
BTW, I know Schedy exists. It’s on my list.
Cheers

Hello,
Which Zigbee door sensor do you recommend ?
I’ve mainly used Xiaomi Aqara battery sensors for now (PIR, temperature and switch) but I’ve observed that they do not switch of parent node easily when their parent node is not reachable anymore. Actually I don’t think they can change at all (not full Zigbee standard compliant or something like that), and they will only change on manual action on the small button available on the sensor. That causes some trouble.
Looking at Zigbee2MQTT sensor compatibility list, I’ve tested more recently Konke devices (PIR and temperature). They look good, work well AND they can change automatically of parent node whey their parent node is not reachable. I dit not test door contact for the moment.
Which Zigbee door sensor do you use and did you check thait it can dynamically update its ‘route’ to the main coordinator ?
Thanks,
David

Hi all.
Today I got my new RPi 4 
After restoring the snapshot from my old RPi 3, all worked very well - except for TasmoAdmin.
I simply can’t access TasmoAdmin anymore! It seems that the service dont start at all on the RP4. The strange thing is that if I log into the old RPi 3 (which the bridge is NOT connected anymore), I get access. RPi 4 just refuses the connection.
What can be wrong?

I recently moved to a new apartment, but kept my Home Assistant instance. Did’n want to start all over again.
But it have introduced a few bugs here and there. Some more annoying than others.
But i have an entry in the logs about my old Plex integration that i really dont have any idea how to get rid of…
here is a little snip:

I have no idea where it have this information. I’ve removed the old Plex instance from the “Integrations” page before i made the new one.
I don’t even have a network that matches 192.168.2.X anymore…
I also have som lights (IKEA Trådfri) that still spooks around even though they are reconfigured as another name. And remotes for these lights too.
How can i clean this mess up. Is there som hidden section where al this old information is saved, that i can access and delete so that i can use my logs for useful troubleshooting without having to filter out old stuff that will never be useful to me ever again?

I am trying to setup an automation where I have an event (Motion detection at front door)
which can then either be followed by a knock on the door (vibration sensor) or no knock.
I’m trying to figure out how I could trigger an automation for both situation.
i.e.
Automation 1 = Event Motion followed within 10secs by door vibration
Autiomation 2 = Event Motion followed within 10secs by NO door vibration
Thanks
