Swe_expat<a href="https://mastoart.social/@elaterite" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@elaterite</a> Absolutely worth putting in the effort to learn <a href="https://mastodonsweden.se/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://mastodonsweden.se/tags/NextCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NextCloud</a> , <a href="https://mastodonsweden.se/tags/Homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Homeassistant</a>, <a href="https://mastodonsweden.se/tags/pihole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pihole</a> — all great tools. But the most important thing: owning your own data.

Courtney RosenthalIt seems like a terrible choice on <a href="https://pdx.social/tags/homeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeAssistant</a> that when you create your own dashboard and select it as the default, the system-managed "Overview" dashboard disappears from the sidebar. I feel like I'm missing something about this behavior.I didn't want to "disappear" it. I just wanted to make my dashboard the default.Can anybody explain this behavior?

Florian HaasIf I wanted to integrate some ground humidity sensors and a drip <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/irrigation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#irrigation</a> system (plus precipitation forecast data) into <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> for my vegetable garden, which irrigation computer would I buy? Yardian? Rain Bird? Something else? (Must use a Local Polling or Local Push integration. Boosts and comments appreciated.)

Evan<a href="https://hachyderm.io/@reillypascal" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@reillypascal</a> ooo this is awesome! I used to have a feed in my <a href="https://social.lol/tags/homeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeAssistant</a> setup for the latest plane flying over my house, but that data feed eventually died. Now I'm going to have to figure out how to pipe this info in to the right dashboard

JorgeAdded the Wiz Downlights (which run over WiFi/Matter) and some other WiFi IoT devices I'm interested to know when they stop responding to pings.The group has an alert enabled. For now it just notifies my phone via <a href="https://pug.ninja/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a>, but at least I'll know if something is amiss.

JorgeI've been having intermittent issues with some WiFi IoT devices losing IP connectivity despite being connected to the IoT SSID. Reconnecting them in UniFi fixes the problem, but I only know of an issue when <a href="https://pug.ninja/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> fails to turn them off (or on).I need a way to monitor this and trigger a reconnect ahead of time. I can probably do this by checking the availability state in HA with an automation, but I could also add these devices to Uptime Kuma and trigger a specific notification to HA which then tells UniFi to reconnect the device.

McNeelyAbout to take the plunge and get <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> set up for our house. It's there a drop dead simple recommendation for smart plugs that people use?

Dan 🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺☁️Apart from the "you left the fridge door open, stupid!" and "washing's done" reminders, one of my best quality of life hacks with <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> is this popup on the tablet by the front door that runs between 7 and 8am on workdays. We have a bus stop across the street from us, and this uses the PTV API so we're never late for it.

FlakiFun fact I just learned: turning my coffee machine on, letting it heat up (it's a medium-fancy heat-exchanger machine, so it has a boiler to heat up before it can brew) and brewing a single latte uses more electricity than cooking 4l of doggy broth for over an hour in my multi-cooker :pikawow:<a href="https://flaki.social/tags/flakibrews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flakibrews</a> <a href="https://flaki.social/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a>

Paul FisherAnother random <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> question...If you use Areas and Floors, where do stairs go?Do they go downstairs, as that's where they start?Do they go upstairs, as that's what they're there for (to go upstairs)?Or do they sit, unloved, as an "Unassigned Area" never to be given a true place in our homes?<a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/ConfusedOfSwindon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ConfusedOfSwindon</a>

Rook 🏳️‍⚧️So I thought switching to the <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> ZBT-1 would improve the reliability of my ZigBee network, over the ConBee 1... I was mistaken...(Yes, it's on an extension USB cable, away from other high interference sources)<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/homeassistant" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@homeassistant</a>

Borys PierovNow that I could just plug the board into a random USB power adapter, and the LED strip into the board, the only remaining piece was software. Since I was relying on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ESPHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ESPHome</a>, it was just a matter of setting up my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> as a time-source and wiring a loop to switch LEDs every second. The only tricky part was translating indices to take into account LED strip being a single continuous sequence of lights arranged in a zigzag manner. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IndicesOfTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndicesOfTime</a>

Paradroyd<a href="https://mastodon.social/@iFixit" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@iFixit</a> Yep..just pulled my Nest out about 20 minutes ago (I was planning on doing it before they made this announcement anyway). I replaced it with a Honeywell T6 Pro Z-wave. - Totally programmable via home assistant, without having to ask Google's permission!<a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/nest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nest</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/honeywell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#honeywell</a>

Courtney RosenthalLooks like there is a <a href="https://pdx.social/tags/homeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeAssistant</a> Community Day planned for <a href="https://pdx.social/tags/Portland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portland</a>. I'm a thinking 'bout going.<a href="https://lu.ma/70zmhnw8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://lu.ma/70zmhnw8</a>

Courtney RosenthalI got a new smart thermostat, a Venstar ColorTouch (first photo). The reason I did so, instead of the usual Ecobee or Nest, is the local API (second photo).That means I can control the thermostat directly, without using the cloud.<a href="https://venstar.com/thermostats/colortouch/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://venstar.com/thermostats/colortouch/</a>It is a feature step-down from my previous Ecobee. For instance, I miss the ability to do limited time overrides. But I think it's an alright tradeoff. The integration into Home Assistant was a snap.<a href="https://pdx.social/tags/homeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeAssistant</a> <a href="https://pdx.social/tags/homeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeAutomation</a>

Dan 🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺☁️May 9th and <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> is still on 2025.5.0. That's some impressive stability. They're usually onto the first or second patch of the month after a week. Dare I try it, for the improved template UI in automations?

RetrogradePoint update to <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> and afterwards none of the push-buttons work, regardless of model.Turns out they all now have a _CLIENT suffix on their unique ID.Cool, cool. 🤪

Stedi :bassguitar:🎸🎼🐦🚴Kiinnostaisi maan kosteusantureita kokeilla, kun on taas tomaatteja ym. kasveja kesäksi suunnitteilla. PItää tietty saada ne kytkettyä Home Assistanttiin. Täytyy etsiskellä. Onko suosituksia? Recommendations for soil moisture sensors?<a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a>

NAB 🇬🇧🇪🇺🔶:marmite:Interesting that I am occasionally told to use <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> rather than <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/nodered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nodered</a>, but I honestly wouldn't have a clue where to even start programming this flow, for example, (just for our central heating and hot water) into HA - or even if it's possible.
