Hello all,

I wired 2 shelly plus 1 devices to my 2 garage door openers. Using the Tasmota integration, I can control them both from home assistant. My issue is with the reed sensors and yaml. I use MQTT to see the status of the door and wrote this code that works-

binary_sensor:

name: "Gym Door State"

state_topic: "stat/Gym_door/status"

payload_on: "open"

payload_off: "closed"

availability_topic: "tele/Gym_door/LWT"

payload_available: "Online"

payload_not_available: "Offline"

qos: 1

device_class: opening

The issue is when I attempt to do the same thing for the second sensor i get the error "duplicate key". This is probably a very easy fix, but if someone could please explain like I'm 5, id be very grateful

I would like to find a way to make my home's parking gate connected to home assistant. I rent and do not want to mess with the actual gate electronics although that is probably the best way to do this. My gate uses a 300 mHz gate remote that has 10 dip switches to set the code.

Does any one have any thoughts on the best way to do this? The gate remotes can be easily procured on aliexpress/amazon. I was thinking that maybe there is a way to connect a ESP32 a spare remote? The only way I can think of accomplishing this right now is using a spare remote and a switch bot to click the button.

I got one of these tanks installed on the roof of my house

https://preview.redd.it/i4t7optcum8b1.jpg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=8d8e751c05df7fdd915761020eb1ae1579043edc

Basically this tank gets filled automatically using a float switch, however, occasionally the float switch doesn't run due to multiple reasons and the Tank ends up empty and I get caught off guard.

I'm looking for a solution to monitor the water level inside the tank and later on I can setup an automation for alerts based on certain levels.

Having searched the sub I don't think there are a ready devices for this specific purpose, it seems this issue is not very common.

I would appreciate any help or ideas to implement such solution, Zigbee is always preferrable in my case due to good network coverage.

I am trying something simple, but can't seem to get it to work. Automations doesn't like my weather.thermostat temperature entity.

I have the following:

weather.temperature (Ecobee oustide temp)

sensor.thermostat_temperature (Ecobee Inside temp)

I want to create an automation to send a notification to me when the outside temp is less than the inside temp. Seems like it should be simple to accomplish.

Any suggestions? Helper (to get the temp values for above and below), Template, Blueprint?

Thanks!

Hi

Where can i find more information and what do i need in order to communicate with that. the water heater is an AO SMITH from about 2 or three years ago i have the model in a picture on my phone if i need to go dig that up TYIA

I have just got in a set of these Linkind bulbs to test and it doesn’t appear they are supported properly in Home Assistant: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHRZFJDN

When I query them in the Developer Tools section I see only these options:

supported_color_modes:   - brightness friendly_name: Smart RGBTW Bulb supported_features: 0 color_mode: brightness brightness: 255 

Within the Google Home app these bulbs support On/Off, Brightness, White color tuning, and RGB colors. Is this something new to do with how Matter is supported in HA or is something else wrong that I missed? I have also posted this over on the HA forums but thought that I might get a wider set of eyes on this issue here.

Any takers?

"I'm running the latest Home Assistant with the Broadlink integration managed through the GUI. I've lost the original remote and can't relearn commands, but I have backed-up existing Broadlink IR codes, such as:

bedroom_ac_temp_up:
        friendly_name: "Bedroom AC Temp Up"
        command_on: "super_long_string_here="

What's the method to integrate these backed-up IR codes into the Broadlink GUI and use them in scripts"

I'm in the process of renovating a house, and I want to set up a wired alarm & fire system. My builder is recommending a Napco Gemini, but that seems unlikely to be integrated with home assistant. My insurance requires "professional installation and monitoring", so I cannot just use Konnected or another system and then use a UL-listed monitoring station--a "professional company" must install the dang thing.

What alarm system can I get that would probably be offered by a professional installer, but also have a way for me to access information about triggered zones, arm, and disarm via homeassistant?

Hey !

I’m very new to the homeassistant environment (and to the english langage)The thing is, I just acquired a Conbee II usb stick connected with an extension cable to my windows 10 PC.I’m running HomeAssistant 10.3 on VMWare and everyting is working well except…the Conbee stick

So, here’s where I’m at :

  • I can see the Conbee stick in HA :

  • I can see it via the Phoscon Plugin in HA but there are two issues :

The first one is that it shows Firmware : Not Connected and the second is that the Conbee II seems to be recognized as a Raspbee as you can see below :

  • If I’m using the DeConz app directly on my Windows Computer, I can see the Conbee Stick :

  • After doing some research, I succesfully updated the firmware of the Conbee with CGFFlasher with the latest version :

  • Directly on windows, I managed to access Phoscon via DeConz as seen below, andthere I actually have a firmware number and it is successfully recognized as a Conbee, and not as a Raspbee (unlike with Phoscon on HA) :

If you made it so far, can somebody explain me the next step(s) to be able to :

  • Recognize the Conbee II stick in DeConz running on HA, that is itself running on VMWare
  • Resolve the issue where the Conbee firmware is not connected in Phoscon, and recognized as a Raspbee

Thank you beforehand

I’ve always had issues with sensors reliably communicating the state of the driveway gate (distance issue) and tend to fall back on the security camera to confirm. Enter Doods…I hope. Does anyone have experience with this to say whether it can distinguish open gate from closed gate? Or am I misunderstanding what Doods does.

Now available in the most recent beta version.

This is awesome! Swiping from the corner of my home screen opens the assist with voice right from the get go. Super easy to interface now with voice commands

Can anyone recommend a low cost Zigbee device that is easy to pair? I've recently added a SkyConnect dongle to my HomeAssistant setup, but I can't get my devices to pair.

Hello!

Hope someone can advise what I'm doing wrong. I made a HomeKit bridge (multiple actually - issue with just 1 of them).

It is set to "include" and I sepcificlly selected which devices to send to HomeKit. It is sending devices that are not "checked" and I cannot get it to stop. Any ideas? Thank you either way. New to Home Assistant and loving it.

Hello people,

I am trying to make a template for the full moon and would appreciate your help. It will be then sent as notification to some phone.

I got the below working and need to add 7 days to when the moon phase changed to 'waxing_gibbous'.

{% if is_state('sensor.moon', 'waxing_gibbous') %}
  Full moon in {{(as_timestamp(states.sensor.moon.last_changed) | timestamp_custom('%D'))}}
{% else %}
    There is time!
{% endif %}

Good day all. I am need of some help. My awning open and close works 100%, except for it thinks that it is completely closed when there is approx 10% more to go before it is really closed properly. Is there a way I can reset the 0 or closed position in HA? I appreciate any and all help!

Currently I am running HA on a Pi, it's (like most of us) a never ending work in progress. I would like to "clean" it from most leftovers from my journey.

I also have a NAS perfectly capable of running HA in docker. Would it be possible to install HA and create some kind of 'final setup' while parallel my working 'work in progress' continues to handle everything?

Need some recommendations. My wife and I currently have a split adjustable sleep number bed. On the occasion that I am snoring, going into the sleep number app (complete garbage) or even the Home Assistant app in the middle of the night is a pain. I was thinking about setting up a smart button that trigger snore mode on my side of the bed. What would be the best button to implement? I was thinking about the Ikea Tradfri button because it's cheap and I already have a Tradfri hub. Any other recommendations? I don't currently have a Zigbee bridge on my NUC but that might be a good reason to get one.

Using this custom card here. It shows the correct entity on the chip, but when pressed it gives me this entity [[[ return variables.ulm_weather]]] and no data. Also with less tech savvy people using my HAS instance how can I make this new dashboard the default for every device so I don’t have to help everyone switch it?

Hassassistant created an awesome custom component for Home Assistant that allows users to fetch text responses from OpenAI's GPT-3 model called "Home Assistant OpenAI Response Sensor." This integration allows a user to input text to GPT-3 or ChatGPT and return the response as an attribute of a sensor. Thus, automations can be created to provide LLM post-processing to Home Assistant generated text (seemingly up to 255 characters).

Google recently debuted a public preview of their PaLM-2 API in MakerSuite which, unlike OpenAI, is free to use! It allows API based inquiry to their Google Bard LLM.

Has anyone created a HACS integration, similar to the above mentioned OpenAI Response Sensor, that allows sending a text based prompt to Google's API and receiving the response via a sensor for use in automations?

At present the official Google Generative AI Conversation integration (introduced in HA 2023.6) is restricted to inquiry via the chat based Assist voice assistant function in Home Assistant (introduced in HA 2023.2).
