Lingolol

JorgeOur LG Dishwasher loves to randomly stop when it thinks the door is open. It sometimes does it when we have set it to wash overnight. I have an alert in <a href="https://pug.ninja/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> set up to let us know if this happens. During the day we can catch it and restart it, but overnight, it just stops itself after 5 minutes of the alert.What I am realizing is that I track the state of the wash in HA, so I need to update my alert to let me know what the last wash state was as well as the remaining time.Last night's alert happened at the end of its Dry Cycle, with 50 minutes to go, which usually is right before it goes into Night Dry Mode. It was really done. I didn't have to start it again just now...

Ewen Bell 📸Super cranky about a mob selling a Matter over Thread radio on the basis that it plays nice with HA, and after wasting weeks trying to get things working they finally admit "yeah there's a bug in HA so you should submit a bug report on github".If your docs say something works, but it doesn't and there was already a bug report filed six months ago, then you're just being a dick to your customers.<a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ewenbell.com/tag/slzbmr3" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SLZBMR3</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ewenbell.com/tag/homeassistant" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a>

Nefarious AryqHas anyone here used the Reolink integration in Home Assistant *specifically with* battery powered cameras connected to a Home Hub?I'm currently using the integration with my PoE cameras and it works well. I'd like to pull the rest of my cameras (battery powered) into Home Assistant, but I'd have to buy a Home Hub to do so.I haven't found a lot of discussion specifically around battery powered cameras and the Home Hub, so I'd love some feedback before purchasing.<a href="https://hoosier.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> <a href="https://hoosier.social/tags/Reolink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Reolink</a>

NAB 🇬🇧🇪🇺🔶:marmite:Still haven't got my head around how to do complex automations in <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> so programming the <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/campervan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#campervan</a> in <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/NodeRed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NodeRed</a>. At some point I'll drop hooks into MQTT that I can pick up in HA and use for a dashboard rather than NodeRed's. Started out with the Zigbee switches which will control various Tasmota, WLED, Shelly modules as well as all the Victron kit. I think I've worked out what I want each button to do (single press, double press and hold).

JorgeWorking on the ESPHome code of the remote and made a few changes:- Added a toggle/input_boolean in <a href="https://pug.ninja/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> that will tell the remote to NOT go into deep sleep. This can be used by automations in HA say, turn on this Prevent Sleep toggle when the TV is on. This way we don't have to wake the remote every time by pressing the power button (default method in the code provided by the creator)- Added a BLE Beacon, so now I can have HA respond to key presses depending on WHERE the remote is. This means while it's in the living room the Volume Control deals with the Sonos Arc, but when it's in the office, it controls the speakers there. Context awareness FTW.

JorgeTrying to decide what I want a <a href="https://pug.ninja/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> Tablet Dashboard to show, while having access to useful things behind Bubble Card popups.I need to show information that both Brandon and I would care for (and maybe visitors) but I also don't want to overcrowd it. Using conditional/visibility options is nice. Like the Car card only shows up when the car is home, and the Charging Options only when the car is plugged into the EVSE at home.I also have some time-specific buttons that show up, like a "Before Bed Time" Button that will turn off lights we don't need when we go into the bedroom, but are not ready to turn off all the lights yet.We tend to turn off those lights before bed manually at each switch/dimmer, but they also turn off with our Night scene.The Meals calendar is pulling data from Mealie where we have our Meal Plan.

Tomi**Automating a dumb kitchen hood with Home Assistant**(<a href="https://blog.rozman.info/automating-a-dumb-kitchen-hood-with-home-assistant/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">link to blog</a>)Last month I had to repair my kitchen hood – replace its PCB – and I got an idea how to automate it.The idea is to turn it on automagically when something is cooking and the kitchen air gets stale. I already have a VOC sensor in the kitchen (<a href="https://blog.rozman.info/home-assistant-and-air-quality-ikea-vindstyrka/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Ikea Vindsyrka – see the blog post</a>).The hood was sold under the brand Respekta – which has same PCB as Baumatic an probably some other brands.What else I need?<ul><li>something that presses the button on the hood instead of me.</li></ul>Should I use fingerbot? Seems too clunky and limits the access to buttons. No.HardwareI figured out I need a ‘dry relay’ to make contact on the hood’s button. The device that only closes and opens the button’s circuit (without any voltage). I found 2 (zigbee): <ul><li>Aqara Dual channel T1 (~35€) and</li><li>ZG-001(<a href="https://smarthomescene.com/reviews/zigbee-dry-contact-relay-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">link to review</a> on Smarthomescene), ~9€.</li></ul>Firstly I thought I could use one of the spare Sonoff ZBminis I already had at hand, but they do not have a dry contact. There are some instructions on YT how to cut some contacts on its board, but I didn’t want to bother and ordered zg-001 switch.The hood’s fan and light buttons are connected to the hood’s PCB via 5-wire cable. The port on the board is CN5:After inspecting PCB from the bottom side, I saw that wires 1, 3, 4, 5 are connected to a chip and 2 to some resistor. So I thought that 2 must be GND and the others are control wires. I short circuited combinations of pin 2 and others and the fan turned on. Short circuiting wires 2 and 1 turns on the fan on the lowest speed – exactly what I need. I removed a bit of insulation on these two wires and soldered an extension wires:Reconnected the connector to the PCB:I also added one 230V cable for powering the dry relay switch. I put both cables through the hood’s ventilation holes. I could install the dry relay switch within the cover, but I wasn’t sure the zigbee signal will penetrate through it. So I decided I will mount it on the outside of the hood’s cover.This hood’s covers are quite tricky to dismount and remount, I needed 2 people to help me.Now I’m waiting for the dry contact relay to arrive.Dry contact switchThe switch arrived and I mounted it on the outside of the hood. Connected 230V for power supply and wires for the parallel connection to the hood fan button/contact. This smart switch can also be powered with USB. Other models also with variable DC power sources (7-32V).Home Assistant / zigbee2mqtt recognized it immediately after powering it on.It shows up as Tuya ZG-001:Home Assistant automationNow, the automation. Firstly, I need to simulate short hood button press. I achieved that with a simple automation that turns off smart switch 200ms after it detects it has been turned on:Next, I want the hood turns on when the air in the kitchen is dirty (something is cooking).I already have Ikea Vindstyrka (<a href="https://blog.rozman.info/home-assistant-and-air-quality-ikea-vindstyrka/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">see the post</a>) sensor nearby. The automation turns on the hood for 2 minutes when it detects VOC is above 230 for 1 minute:It’s very simple automation, but it works. It doesn’t matter if I cook something, baking in the oven or nearby toaster – it turns on because of increased VOC. That is good.Some ideas for the futureThe issue is that VOC is dropping slowly over time, even with hood turned on. I don’t want the hood runs for extended periods of time, because it is quite loud.I have to figure out how how to solve this issue. One idea is to install another, IR sensor under the hood and capture HOB2HOOD signals from the hob and turn the hood off when the hob isn’t active. Will see how the current solution will work out.Also, I’m not sure if VOC 230 is a good threshold. Maybe it would be better if I set-up thermostat like entity in Home Assistant so I (or other family members) can increase or decrease VOC threshold without changing the automation. Not sure how to implement this, because the hob switch reacts on a press, not on a on-off state.<a href="https://blog.rozman.info/automating-a-dumb-kitchen-hood-with-home-assistant/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://blog.rozman.info/automating-a-dumb-kitchen-hood-with-home-assistant/</a><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.rozman.info/tag/homeassistant/" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.rozman.info/tag/hood/" target="_blank">#hood</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.rozman.info/tag/ikea/" target="_blank">#ikea</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.rozman.info/tag/vindstyrka/" target="_blank">#vindstyrka</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.rozman.info/tag/zg-001/" target="_blank">#zg001</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.rozman.info/tag/zigbee/" target="_blank">#Zigbee</a>

Chip ButtyAny suggestions for an air quality monitor (would be nice to hook up to <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> some day, but portability is important too). I'd like to keep an eye on CO2 (for fresh air) and particles (car pollution, wood smoke, and pollen)

NAB 🇬🇧🇪🇺🔶:marmite:Of course, <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/HAOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HAOS</a> assumes an MTU of 1500, rebuilds the docker bridge with this value every time it boots and doesn't provide a mechanism to change it permanently - you have to put a nasty bodge in to run on boot. Which works until HAOS decides to restart various components. Grrr. I think I'm going to give up on <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> for the umpteenth time.

Stephen CollinsI'm getting daily warnings about low space on my HA Green. Is there an easy way to purge space after pruning unused integrations and addons?My “fuck about with scripts and internals" tolerance is low right now as I’m working early shifts at work (0300-1100).<a href="https://aus.social/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a>

Note - This is untested. I don't have kids. You will need A Playstation 4 or PlayStation 5 console. The MQTT integration for Playstation's power state. This is different than the PSN integration.Home Assistant set up to speak. Please don't do this without the speech, that's just mean. (or flash a light near the Playstation)

JorgeYeah I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to trying to track in <a href="https://pug.ninja/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> how SDG&E is ripping me off every month.I hadn't realized they changed the Winter Rates in their June Update, the Off Peak and Peak went up by a couple of cents. It seems they bump up the upcoming season prices when the active season starts.
