I never worried about my #Alexa before. But now that they’ll be always on and streaming to Amazon, I’ve ordered one of these to try with #HomeAssistant.

I get so much use out of shopping lists and timers, in addition to #homeautomation. I hope there are ways to get that functionality.

Welp. Time to look into the open source opportunities for voice assistants to hook up to #HomeAssistant. #HomeAutomation #SmartHome

The food dispenser for my cat needs replacement. Looking for a model that allows on-premises remote programming and control (NOT a proprietary smartphone app). Any ideas? #HomeAssistant compatible devices welcome. #FutterAutomat #CatFoodDispenser

Using Home Assistant to set up meaningful, useful automations:

Using Home Assistant to set up weird, useless, confusing automations:

That guy hacked his air purifier, reversed part of the Android app, then the PCB, downloaded the firmware and reversed everything .. to integrate it to HomeAssistant! :o

Didn't know about MessagePack nor esp32knife.

Hm, zmiana serwera na #HomeAssistant poszła gładko. Zrobienie backupu z wersji HAOS (RPi 3), instalacja na T630 w wersji Supervised (thx @stfn za motywację ;) ), wrzucenie backupu ze starej wersji. Poszło gładko, i sprawnie. Ale trzeba sprawdzać addony (nie wszystkie się podnoszą, ale wystarczy je tylko kopnąć żeby raz wstały), dodać od nowa dyski współdzielone i kilka takich drobiazgów, i śmiga.

Tzn, wygląda że śmiga. Dowiem się w przeciągu kilku następnych dni ;)

Testing the HomeWizard Plug-In Battery with Home Assistant

This new device claims to be a plug-and-play home battery that should work with Home Assistant—just install it yourself, no electrician required. But does it actually work as promised?

I unbox it, set it up, and put it to the test! Watch here: https://youtu.be/WOxB-d-ofj4

#homeassistant erweitert mit Regenvorhersage und endlich die "Guten Morgen"-Automation vollends auf Deutsch umgestellt.

My #homeassistant setup gets better and better.

Like.

I have a problem I would like to solve on a technical level.

There is a set of resources. I use a single resource at given time. The resource is used for some time, then I switch to use another resource. After the switch the previous resource needs to regenerate for another period of time. The problem I would like to solve is to:
a) find the list of available resources (that means, all the items who has got enough of rest)
b) with the information how long resource has been in resting period.

Do you know if there is something in #HomeAssistant which would fulfil my needs? I am able to write some automations from scratch, but I am a little bit too lazy to do that right now

Today’s #HomeAutomation own-goal: Having my bedroom light switch on when my phone connects to the house WiFi. I did not account for my iPhone updating and rebooting itself at 2.30am…

hey fedi (and #HomeAssistant)

is there any way to preprocess sensor data before ingesting it into HA?
my use case is i have a humidity sensor that returns bad data for most of its readings (seems like 16 bit integer overflow since it's very very close to 655.35%) and i'd like to drop all data that returns a humidity value outside of 100% and ignore it entirely
since sometimes this sensor returns a valid RH value between 0 and 100% i'd still like to be able to have usable data

even better yet is if it'd be possible to apply this retroactively and drop all data in the past with this

my current solution is just hiding the sensor and not using it but i'd love to use it to automate a humidifier that i'm getting soon

So, jetzt kann ich schonmal meinen AV Receiver via CLI (#curl ftw)an und aus machen.

Als nächstes wirds dann interessant ob ich es hin bekomme ihm per CLI zu sagen welchen stream er spielen soll, weil dann kann ich einfach N streams mit web-radio forward aufsetzen und evtl auch meinem #navidrome was beibringen, oder eben über #homeassistant und #musicassistant musik an den Receiver bringen.

Dann muss ich noch meinen Medien-PC aufsetzen und ihm beibringen den Receiver umzuschalten auf HDMI sound... und dann sollte mein Wohnzimmer-Setup fertig sein.

I wonder how accurate my calculation for the amount of heat energy my window is letting in/out is

Anyone found some good but cheap temperature and humidity sensors for home assistant recently?

I found some a while ago but never got around to buying them, now I can't find them lol.

With all the new people coming in, time for a quick #introduction post. My name is Matthijs, living in the Netherlands, but i travel a bit for work. I'm socially conscious and a #photographer by hobby. I'm interested in #homeautomation with #homeassistant. I like authenticity. I post about the world and what we see, the #environment and have started dabbling in #permaculture. Feel free to reach out! I post in #english and #nederlands
