I have a working HASS setup on a RPi, running 0.118.2. I have used the standard guide for setting up DuckDNS and a NGINX reverse proxy, which are both installed via the supervisor as addons. This all works perfectly for remote access to my Home Assistant. (And setup was impressively easy!)

I also have another app installed on a different server, available only on my internal home network on HTTP. I’d like to securely access this app externally, without using HTTP.

Seeing as NGINX is working so well, and all the certs and stuff are already setup, I’d like to configure NGINX on HASS to handle reverse proxy-ing for that additional app.

So currently:

• when I hit https://externalurl:8123/ it will reverse proxy me to http://192.168.0.50:8123/ (This is for HASS)
  I’d like to maintain this, but also add:
• when I hit https://externalurl:4321/ it will reverse proxy me to http://192.168.0.40:4321/ (This would be for the other app)

Looking at the documentation on the addon, it looks like I could be trying customize.active=true. However I don’t currently have anything in my /share directory.

Should I set customize.active=true and customize.default="nginx_proxy_default.conf"… then create that file and fill it out as per standard NGINX documentation?

Most importantly, if I do this, will it overwrite the existing config and break my existing reverse proxy?

Any and all help is appreciated!

I wanted to add a new person today and connect it to a user account so the user can log in. But as soon I click on “allow to login” behind the person add window it opens the user creating window. In older HA version I could just select an existing user I wanted to connect the person to. Old accounts still work what I see but not new accounts. Is that a know thing or do I do something wrong?

Btw: tried another browser (Chrome) and there it worked correct again. Problem is Safari on Mac it seems.

TLDR: how do I get HA to re-establish z-wave values via mqtt on restart without having to restart zwave2mqtt network? This used to work a few major versions of HA ago.

I run zwave2mqtt -> mosquitto mqtt -> home assistant all in docker on top of an Arch LTS host.

A few major versions of HA ago this was all working fine so that if I had to restart HA for some reason (change of config, new image etc) then when it came back up the z-wave network was all present and correct. This is important as I primarily use a number of z-wave devices as a security system.

Now however if I just restart home assistant, I then have to follow this up with a restart of zwave2mqtt to get the z-wave network back up and running. I’m pretty sure this is a recent (~6 month) change, but I’m only now getting around to addressing it.

I’ve tried adding in a custom component (monitor docker) so that I can add a switch to lovelace to restart zwave2mqtt if I’m away from home and something goes wrong. But I’ve found this custom component to be unreliable - plus it’s a sticking plaster and not a proper solution.

Below are the relevant bits of my docker compose, and configuration yaml, suspect I can do something with mosquitto so that the last values are read back in on restart?

Hi there,
I’m quite challenged by my Vacuum (Roborock S50, newest Firmware) - maybe somebody can help me out:
I want to create an automation where the vacuum drives to a specific location to be cleaned. The location is not always reachable from the dock, because a door can be closed. The automation should only trigger when the door is opened. But when the internal map of the vacuum shows no connection to the goto-position (because the door was closed during last clean), the vacuum won’t navigate to it. I’ve already tried to drive directly in front of the door, but the map won’t update. Did anyone experience this, too? Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

I can’t integrate Octoprint in Hassio. This is my setup:

1. Hassio in a raspberry
2. Octoprint in an other raspberry but with installation under raspbian. In this raspberry there are also PiHole, Unifi Controller and motionEye. Due to port conflict among the programs Octoprint is installed to be reachable at port 5000.
   This is config.yaml:

octoprint:
  host: 192.168.10.3
  api_key: #################
  name: Ender3 pro
  bed: true
  number_of_tools: 1

This is the error in log:

Logger: homeassistant.setup

First occurred: 8:50:36 (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 8:50:36

Error during setup of component octoprint

I think the problem is that HASSIO look for Octoprint at the default port 80, but at that port there is PiHole.
How can i fix this?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I’m really new to Home-Assistant and my problem cannot be as complicated as it is for me as a new user. But as I only find topics regarding more complicated automations and scripts, I’m no creating my own topic.

What do I want to achieve?
I want to create a button in Lovelace, which by a single click executes a scene which is stored on my Hue Bridge V2.

What have I done so far?
I created scripts for every scene I want to use in my scripts.yaml like this:

name_of_scene:
  alias: 'Scene Name'
  sequence:
  - service: hue.hue_activate_scene
    data:
      group_name: Room_Name
      scene_name: Scene_Name
  mode: single
  icon: mdi:some-icon

I then created a button in lovelace like this:

- type: button
        entity: script.name_of_scene
        name: Short Scene Name

What are my current results?
I seems to be right, what I have done because when pressing the button a popup appears in which my script can be executed (and therefore my scene gets enabled).

What should be changed?
I don’t want to press “execute”, but the script (in this case the scene) should be immediately executed when pressing the button. I tried to put “tap_action” in my Lovelace button, but this resulted in a missing popup and also didn’t enable the scene from my Hue Bridge.

I don’t think it can be very complicated to execute the script directly / immediately when pressing the button, but I don’t know how to get there. Please give me some advice on how to get this done.

Thanks in advance.

I cant get it working for the /config/www folder in hassio.

I have:
raspberry pi 4
Home Assistant core 0.117.2
Addon: SSH & Web Terminal

I can use:

cp /dev/stdin/ ~/test.txt

That will create the file i want, but it is not in the /config/www folder. When i use the code from above with the full path i get a error. Permission issues, i have seen “solutions” like root access and big warnings next to them, so i dont want to mess around with root permissions and stuff.

How can i send files over SSH to the right folder?

Maybe share a new created folder? Or move files around with some code?

After updating I noticed that Squeezebox cover art is not shown anymore in my custom lovelace page. A different take on designing a Lovelace UI

All is fine in the mini media player I also use (see below), but when fetching the entity_picture from the media player things go wrong.

I use my chromecast devices as squeezebox players. And I grab the entity picture from the cast media player, not the squeezebox media player. When I look in the dev tools - states I see that the entity_picture attribute lists the url wrongly:

entity_picture: //<local squeezebox server ip>/music/<music id>/cover.jpg

Where it should show:

entity_picture: http://<local squeezebox server ip>/music/<music id>/cover.jpg

I assume that the image is shown correctly in the mini media player, since that will grab it from the squeezebox media player and not the cast media player.

Hello,

Two Questions:

1. Is it possible to change the color of a state-label in a picture-element based on a state?
   I tried the following:

type: picture-elements
elements:
  - type: state-label
    entity: sensor.valve_livingroom
    style: |
      ha-card {
        color: {% if states('sensor.valve_livingroom') | float > 0 %} red {% else %} blue {% endif %};
      top: 60%
      left: 60%
      }

Even if I move “top” and “left” outside of “ha-card”, it’s not working. It’s just empty. No error message.

2. Is it possible to set a conditional element based on an attribute in a picture-element?

type: picture-elements
elements:
  - type: conditional
    conditions:
      - entity: climate.002018a99c23ba
        attribute: 'level', > '0.14' (or somethin similar, instead of state)
    elements:
      - type: image
        image: /local/grundriss/wohnungstuer_offen.png
        style:
          transform: none
          top: 0%

Thanks for your help!

I would like to measure my nighttime water consumption between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. (when i don’t use water) in order to be notified if there has been a night-time consumption on a long period
to detect tiny leaks.
I tried history_stats but it is not suitable for consumption, I am already using utility_meter but I do not see how to use it only for a given period. ditto for the statistics component. an idea?

I would like to have a single sensor that gathers all MQTT events for a set of topics (specifically, form Zigbee2MQTT). I tried to add

sensor:
  - platform: mqtt
    state_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/+"
    name: zigbee

and I indeed now see a sensor.zigbee with the value of the last MQTT message from Zigbee2MQTT. The problem is that I do not know what topic it relates to.

Would there be a smart way to create such a sensor and avoid making one entry per device (topic)?

Also the proper settings in ‘configuration.yaml’…
Some additional set-up is needed? Any password/user…?

I find it very difficult to find some information on how to use the helper variables. And the UI is no help either.

How do I read the value behind an input_select variable and combine it to use it as a new value?

My automation: I have some automation which do time based select different scene names into the variable input_select.sun_cycle - which works great.

I like to use those changes as trigger, when the conditions are right, to switch the scenes. This also works great - with trigger.to_state.state as variable.

But I like to switch on the automated scene as well when I come home or I turn the automation on. So I have to use multiple triggers and read the value of input_select.sun_cycle directly.

How do I do this?

I tried the following (and some other stuff) unsuccessfully.

alias: activate suncycle scenes
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_select.sun_cycle
  - platform: state
    entity_id: person.ruben
    to: home
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.virtual_sun_cycle
    to: 'on'
condition:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: person.ruben
    state: home
  - condition: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.virtual_sun_cycle
    state: 'on'
action:
  - service: scene.turn_on
    data_template:
      entity_id: 'scene.{{ states(input_select.sun_cycle) }}'
mode: restart

Dear all,
after updating from 116.4 to 118.2 I experince trouble with at least one of my template sensors.
I found the breaking changes section in the release notes but I can’t figure what I would have to change.
This is my sensor setup:

#Oekofen Heizung
  - platform: rest
    resource: http://x.y.z.a?
    scan_interval: 10
    name: "oekofen"
    value_template: "{{ value_json['system.system_info'] }}"
    json_attributes:
      - system
      - weather
      - forecast
      - hk1
      - ww1
      - pe1
      - error
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      oekofen_aussentemp:
        friendly_name: 'Heizung Aussentemp. Fühler'
        value_template: "{{ ((state_attr('sensor.oekofen', 'system')['L_ambient'] | int) *0.1) | round(1) }}"
        unit_of_measurement: "°C"

The sensor oekofen is giving the same output as before:

system: 
system_info: system global variables
L_ambient:
  val: '81'
  unit: '?C'
  factor: '0.1'
  min: '-32768'
  max: '32767'
...

friendly_name: oekofen

Anyhow, the sensor oekofen_aussentemp gives me a reading of 0.0 which is the same for all other sensors related to the heating. Just saying, a heating with all values 0.0 would make that much sense the values are not 0 in the rest sensor reply.

I know, it should be easy but I can’t figure it.

Thanks for support!!

Hi there!

I’m having issues currently that I didn’t have before with Supervisor or with addons. Whenever I go on my server from an external network on the Supervisor page or on a addon ingress page that I pinned on the side, it takes a lot of itme to load.

When I do the same but from the internal network, no issues. I don’t see any logs with issues.

Here is my setup:

• RPI4 4GB RAM (using good power adapter)
• 128Gb SANDISK usb hard drive (boot on usb)
• Ubuntu 20.04 server LTS
• Using docker image (followed Installing Home Assistant Supervised on Raspberry Pi OS)
• Using duckdns + nginx
• Conbee 2 attached
• Addons: ADB, duckdns, file editor, grafana (disabled), home assistant google drive backup, influxdb (disabled), mariadb, mosquitto broker, nginx, zibee2mqtt edge

For info, the memory usage is about 26%, 13.6% of hard drive used, 35°C. In terms of internet connectivity, using Google DNS in my router, using IPV4 (I can"t seem to use V6 since I’m using a router behind the internet supplier router and passtrough just doesn’t work).
My download is 18.32Mb/s, upload 0.804Mb/s (using nPerf). When using my internet supplier status I’m at 20.7 and 1.1.

I tried to flash everything back from scratch but to no avail. I tried reinstalling every addon but doesn’t do anything either.

I really don’t know what to do, I hope I don’t need to use a NUC instead since the only issue is when I’m outside of the home network… Furthermore it’s only the supervisor, lovelace works fine, I can’t easily move between the menus et go into the HA config.

Using app on android or through chrome is the same (same on Windows using my phone connection).

Thanks for your help!
