I remember the good old days where a new release of a custom integration automatically resulted in a persistant notification at the bottom left of the screen. I miss this a lot to be honest.
The manual Settings > System > Updates method is somewhat cumbersome for a system that should provide user convenience.
I probably missed this once in a HA update, does anyone have an explanation for the choice to do it this way?

When using the companion app, there is an Android Auto sensor that can say whether or not a specific mobile device is connected to a car. But is there any way to be able to tell which car? I was recently driving my in-laws car, which also has Android Auto, and I plugged in my phone, and some automations related specifically to my phone and my car were triggered. If I’m not driving my car, I don’t want this to happen. Is there a “car UID” or something that can be exposed in the sensor’s attributes?
Any android auto devevelopers here?

I have 2 HA servers running - one in my main house and one in my vacation house.
Can I show a dashboard from my vacation house inside the HA UI for my main house in an easy way?
Here are the solutions I considered:
All I want is a simple solution to show a Dashboard from a remote HA instance inside my main HA instance. Am I the only person with this use case?

This must have been asked before, but I haven’t been able to find a way to do it…
I’d like to trigger an automation when a devices status has been the case for x amount of time, with that time coming from an input_datetime helper.
However I can think to try setting it, I’m told something like this:
Message malformed: offset input_datetime.my_period should be format 'HH:MM', 'HH:MM:SS' or 'HH:MM:SS.F' for dictionary value @ data['for']
Developer tools>States shows a state of 01:01:01 for input_datetime.my_period (which seems to fit ‘HH:MM:SS’ in the message I’m getting?).
Using this works just fine:
for:
hours: 1
minutes: 01
seconds: 01
Does anyone know a way to do this please?

i trying to make a current power consumption sensor that can display in the Label or Title of the Auto Entities Card… now i looked through googling and they have like object_id.startwith but i trying to do a search of a word
like the auto entities card i use is
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
title: current power usage auto entities
filter:
template: |
{{ states.sensor
| selectattr('name','search', 'power|current consumption',ignorecase=true)
| map(attribute='entity_id')
| list }}
exclude: null
sort:
method: state
reverse: false
or i use
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
title: Current Power Consumption
filter:
include:
- entity_id: "*power"
- entity_id: "*consumption"
exclude:
- name: "*Today's*"
- name: "*month's*"
- state: unavailable
sort:
method: state
reverse: true
numeric: true
so id like to have a template sensor that adds up all the values for word “power” or “consumption” and ignore todays consumption or months so i can run a current display… this way i can also do Today Consumption and Monthly Consumption
and the sensors off like tplink power metering when does it know to reset daily or monthly… does Home assistant reset it at like 12am and at the end of the month?
and is there a way to auto make templates for shellys they dont have a daily consumption just current consumption so i can make daily and monthly power usage …
and is there a way to make a utility meter auto entities… i wanted to show how much each device is costing each month plus an over all but i wanted to have a break down… is there a way to auto create using 1 utility meter for mid-peak on-peak off-peak weekend… so far ive made 3 manually… but be nice if i could link all the sensors to just 1 ultilty meter helper

Hi everyone,
I am using HA to monitor my solar power system. I believe one of the HA updates some weeks ago changed how some of my graphs look. A current example would be that solar power looks still the same while the car wallbox now sports min/max/average which reduces readability and is unnecessary. How can I get rid of this so it again looks like a regular graph? Here are 2 screenshots:

I have recently been dealing with switches being triggered by ghost automations on three Meross and one Tuya switches. at various times. All appear to be triggered evening and mornings. See log.
My question is there any good tips how to find out what is the cause?
I assume the “Supervisor” is HA itself via automation of some integration.
THanks in advance
I have been using Node-Red for some of the identities.
A common threat of the items is that the devices were replaced at one time due to defects. and replaced with new hardware and added back into mix of the automation by reselecting.
Should I delete the entire flow and rebuild ? ANy internal tracing thoughts to activate in make it easier to confirm the culprit?
All Switch turned off triggered by action Switch: Turn off
6:09:21 AM - 4 hours ago - Supervisor
Switch 2 turned off triggered by action Switch: Turn off

Hello,
i am running HA on a proxmox host, i am running Frigate on a separate host mostly for hardware constraints like ports for coral and gpu.
i have a reverse proxy with cloudflare for both HA and Frigate
ha.mydomain.xyz
192.168.1.86:8123
frigate.mydomain.xyz 192.168.1.130:5000
i want to get notifications when my Driveway Camera detects motion. i get the notification from HA but the image doesn’t display, on or off my home network. i get Failed to Load Attachment urlsessiontask failed with the error unsupported url
i have the HACS add on for frigate and the custom integration running with frigate.mydomain.xyz unauthenticated notification is enabled media browser is enabled
i have the add on frigate proxy running my internal ip 192.168.1.130:5000 proxy pass host and proxy pass real ip enabled
i’m running the Frigate Notifications (0.14.0.2w) blueprint.
my result at this point yields a notification from HA upon Alert/Detection but no image. since im running the frigate outside of HA, i’m confused as to what should go in the base url or if it is ok to leave blank or if that is a contributor to the missing image. does anyone have any insight as to what may be missing or misconfigured that would prevent images from being displayed?

My Voice PE stop playing anything. If will play the start sound when I use wake word, it would not announce any answers. The log in HA all seems normal. My voice get recognized and a response was sent to Voice PE. But Voice PE isn’t playing it. Here is the log I see in ESPHome console:

HAOS doesn’t allow a static secondary LAN adapter with no gateway in the web UI?
It seems more of a bug but when adding a secondary network adapter for LAN-only use (different vlan) it works BUT when trying to finish setting up my static IP, the HA web interface (adv mode) won’t allow me to enter a blank gateway IP address.
I added a new virtual network adapter (diff vlan) in the HAOS VM via Proxmox and that went fine but when finalizing the static IP info the web interface doesn’t allow it.

When i run the fix in the energy dashboard i get the following error:
I can only choose now the 2 options

Hi,
I’m getting started with announcements. I have a Lyrion Media Server running and a bunch of Squeezebox Radios spread through my home. I thought I’d start simple by using the developer tools > actions screen. Here’s the YAML that I entered:
action: media_player.play_media
target:
entity_id:
- media_player.keuken
- media_player.squeezebox_radio_3
data:
media_content_type: music
media_content_id: media-source://ding-dong.mp3
announce: true
Of course, I made sure there is a file called ding-dong.mp3 in my /media directory. (I’m using Home Assistant OS, so this should be the right directory.)
When I do this, my Squeezebox radio device displays some message that it can’t playback this playlist. So something is happening. Where do I start debugging what’s wrong? I already tried converting the file to .m4a, but that didn’t make any difference.

Hello,
When I installed the Tado integration in HA, the smartphone app unfortunately still showed devices that no longer exist. Now, HA shows me devices and entities that don’t exist. How can I delete them?
I found how it should work for entities, but HA doesn’t allow me to delete these entities.
Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out how to do it for devices.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best, Torsten

Hi Everyone,
I have looked and can’t find anything that directly relates and have tried some other suggestions but I am unable to get both the following pages to load when using iframe (webpage card) in Homeassistant (I have managed to get this working with AirGradient and Waze):
Council Bin collection datee: Webpage fails to connect ( www.malvernhills.gov.uk refused to connect.)
https://swict.malvernhills.gov.uk/mhdcroundlookup/HandleSearchScreen

Any help would be appreciated.

Since the Group documentation recommends using the new group method instead of the old group method I tried to convert all my groups to the new method. I use the yaml method of creating groups instead of the UI. All the groups I moved from the old to new method worked well other than my Ring Keypad group. The following are my old and new Ring Keypad group definitions:
Old configuration in groups.yaml file:
ring_keypads:
name: Ring Keypads
icon: mdi:dialpad
entities:
- binary_sensor.ring_keypad_bedroom_hallway_ac_mains_re_connected
- binary_sensor.ring_keypad_craft_room_ac_mains_re_connected
- binary_sensor.ring_keypad_kitchen_ac_mains_re_connected
New configuration in groups_binary_sensor.yaml which I include from configuration.yaml using:
binary_sensor: !include groups_binary_sensor.yaml
- platform: group
name: Ring Keypads
device_class: connectivity
entities:
- binary_sensor.ring_keypad_bedroom_hallway_ac_mains_re_connected
- binary_sensor.ring_keypad_craft_room_ac_mains_re_connected
- binary_sensor.ring_keypad_kitchen_ac_mains_re_connected
The entities are identical in both configurations but when I try to send something to the keypads using the new group configuration I get the error:
2025-04-22 13:52:22.651 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.zwave_js.services] Entity binary_sensor.ring_keypads is not a valid zwave_js entity
2025-04-22 13:52:22.651 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.automation.intrusion_nuisance_siren_timeout] Intrusion: Disarm response: Error executing script. Invalid data for call_service at pos 3: No zwave_js nodes found for given targets
2025-04-22 13:52:22.652 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.automation.intrusion_nuisance_siren_timeout] Error while executing automation automation.intrusion_nuisance_siren_timeout: No zwave_js nodes found for given targets
So per the error HA is trying to send to the actual group name of binary_sensor.ring_keypads instead of sending it to the entities like when I use the old group method group.ring_keypads. The calling code is:
action:
- action: zwave_js.set_value
target:
entity_id: binary_sensor.ring_keypads
data:
command_class: '135'
endpoint: '0'
property: '10'
property_key: '1'
value: 1
So the above code causes the error and the keypads aren’t sent the data. But the identical code has been sending the code to each keypad when I use: group.ring_keypads instead of binary_sensor.ring_keypads for the entity_id.
As an FYI, when I query the status of the keypads using the new group definition it does know when the keypad entities go off/on. The problem is trying to send a code to the keypads.
Any ideas on why the new method doesn’t send the code to the group entities like the old method?

I’m using the standard recorder out the box setup.
I’ve noticed that on the frontend, number entities won’t load when inspecting their detailed view, or when filtering in the logbook screen.
I can see that a websocket message subscribe message is sent for the logbook with the number entity id I select, but nothing is ever returned.
I don’t see any errors in the console or the HA log
The issue seems to be with any number entity
Number entity (never loads logbook)
Switch entity (logbook shows), as do other types
Logbook viewer loads fine when not filtering or by entities other than number.
(Working):
(Filtering by number entity):

I have a blueprint that creates an automation for an IKEA remote. When executed, it’s supposed to turn off all lights in certain areas.
However, a couple of those lights stay unaffected when the automation runs even though the HA user interface clearly shows that they are assigned to said areas.
I have tried removing and re-adding them to their area, and even recreated the whole area, without any improvement.
Now I’m out of clues on how to proceed.
It should be noted that if I add the lights as “entities” (“device” won’t work), then I can finally address them. But that’s not how it’s supposed to work, because all the other lights assigned to various areas behave as expected…
Am I really the first to experience this, or do I just suck at searching or using the proper keywords?

I have ZBMINIR2 with a reed sensor (attached to a door) as a physical switch and a light connected. This device is connected to ZHA works fine.
What i wanted is to delay turning off the light if the reed sensor (door) is triggered. So, if HA turns off the light - turn off immediately, but if a door was open/closed - turn off the light with a delay.
Is it possible to catch an event of physical switch toggling to create an automation?

Hi everyone. I’m trying to migrate a WordPress project I have on one computer to my NUC running HAOS. I’m running into a problem: Apache is missing a module I need: the rewrite mod. To add it, you have to install it with sudo a2enmod rewrite, but I can’t do it from the terminal. Do you know how I can add this module? Thank you very much.
