Not sure how I feel about doing firmware upgrade on 12 lightbulbs 😆 :patcat:

On one side, its funny, on another its more fuff to deal with :blobsweats:. The unseen aspect of adding more local smart things to your house.

Next on the todo list, find where on earth I put that temperature sensor in the lounge to change its battery...

I am feeling particularly stupid today and I do think what I want to achieve is (has to be) fairly easy.
So I am turning to #AskFedi
I would like to monitor how long a switch was on in #HomeAssistant and am trying to setup a helper. I went with a history stats helper. But I can't seem to get a value I can check in automations later.

Reason behind, I electrically heat my water during summer when the pv provides enough power. But 2 hours during the day are enough and I don't want it to keep on

Continued thread

Let’s try in English…
For some time I have a #HomeAssistant network, with a few devices connected via #Bluetooth and via #Zigbee, in a flat (condo).
I was wondering if I could reach the « basement » ( 2 floors under) and the garage (1 floor under the basement).
I understand that 1 or 2 repeaters like AEOTEC Z1 might do the job via Zigbee. But what about bluetooth ? Do some repeaters allow to relay BT too ?
I’d like to connect some BT devices located in the garage and the basement to Home Assistant.
Can a bridge like NOUS E1 be used as a repeater for that?
Thanks for your help!

Just finished setting up the dual zigbee/zwave PoE kit from @tubeszb@mastodon.social

He was very helpful (as always!) in getting it working -- I needed an additional config because I had an older zigbee radio.

With the new Mikrotik networking setup I have way fewer PoE ports than I had before (24 before vs 7 now) in the network core so every bit helps!

Still plenty of open PoE ports in the media center switch so I am not exactly short on ports

Bonsoir ! Depuis quelque temps j’ai une petite installation #HomeAssistant avec quelques appareils reliés soit en #bluetooth, soit via #zigbee, en appartement.
Je me demande si d’une façon ou d’une autre je ne pourrais pas couvrir la cave (2 étages en-dessous) et le garage (encore 1 étage en-dessous).
Je comprends qu’un ou 2 répéteurs comme l’AEOTEC ZI pourraient faire le job en Zigbee. Mais en existe-t-il qui font aussi Bluetooth ?
L’idée étant de connecter des appareils uniquement Bluetooth situés à la cave ou au garage à Home Assistant.
Une passerelle comme la NOUS E1 peut-elle être utilisée comme un relais pour cela ?
Merci de votre aide !

So we have a solar installation with an EWZ energy manager, which is a embedded system that measures the total power of the house, both consumed and produced by the solar panel, problem is, this thing has no API and AFAIK is in maintenance mode.

With a bit of hacking around, I finally managed to get write small python script that gets the measurements from the command-line, as a small JSON dump. That was easy, now comes the hard part, integrating this into #homeassistant #homeautomation

Can you all do me a favor and check in the network settings of your #PlayStation devices what the MAC address prefixes are (first 6 digits)? Everything from PS3/PS Vita upwards helps. It will be used in #HomeAssistant for discovering devices in your network and set up the PlayStation Network integration. Please help by sharing.

Ich habe vor kurzem Home Assistant installiert und bin begeistert, wie einfach es ist, alles lokal zu steuern. Mit Proxmox läuft das super effizient – kein Cloud-Kram, alles bleibt im eigenen Netzwerk. Wer braucht schon Alexa, wenn man das selbst in der Hand hat? #SmartHome #HomeAssistant hobbyblogging.de/home-assistan

Homeassistant ist ja schon nice. Gerade die Comfee Monoblock Klima von der verstorbenen Schwiegermutter ausgegraben. Die wird via IR gesteuert. Ich habe im Wohnzimmer nen IR Blaster mit Tasmota. Erste Überraschung: der Blaster kann das Protokoll der Fernbedienung direct decodieren. Zweite Überraschung: der Blaster hat nen besonderen Modus für Klimaanlagen. Dritte Überraschung: jemand hat schon eine passende Integration für Homeassistant gebaut.

The first day of water meter readings are in my #homeAssistant. I was quite surprised to see that we used 475l yesterday, which seemed like a lot to me.

So I’m now going down the rabbit hole of finding out how much water baths, showers, washing machines, dishwashers and toilet flushes use (4-6l!) 😆

@Edent I have one of these (with the “right” gas and leccy meters) and import the data to my #homeAssistant instance. Seeing (almost) realtime and historical usage is really useful for forecasting use, and seeing what devices around the house use lots of energy. Like when I’m at work and my son leaves the oven on all afternoon after cooking his lunch 🤨😀
