Stellt sich heraus. Selbst wenn mensch nur das billige china tuya smartzeugs nimmt, in der zigbee variante..

Und damit eine haustürklingel abbilden will.

Geht sogar _DAS_ out of the box mit fertigteilen von ali... ;)

Benötigt:

Zigbee Gateway (läuft eigenständig - ich hab 'n multimode gw - kost nur 8€ oder so mehr)
Tuya smart app mit china cloud (leider).
Tuya Zigbee Smart Scene button.
Tuya Zigbee Siren.

Und wegen der funkdämpfung und strecke im haus, noch einen zigbee repeater halt.

Das ganze läuft im 868mhz bereich und is daher deutlich durchdringender als wlan bei 2,4 oder 5+ ghz... yay ;)

Next step, home assistant server frickeln und mittels tuya convert die ganzen teile gen home assistant updaten.

Das kann noch was werden.

Aber immerhin, ein wichtiger teil der gewünschten funktionalität ist als POC schonmal implementiert. ;)

I just opened a discussion on the Home Assistant forums seeking community feedback:

We’re proposing to deprecate the Core & Supervised installation methods and drop i386 & armhf architectures.

What do you think? Let me know

Evolution of Home Assistant:
- Runs on Raspberry Pi, controls a single WiFi light switch
- Controls a dozen switches and plugs
- Automations using Phone locations and time of day
- AddOns! Mosquitto, AdGuard Home and MotionEye/Frigate get installed
- Migrates to beefier server
- Voice and Whisper addons get installed
- Zigbee takes over for switches and plugs

- What's next?

OK #homeassistant community, has anybody ever created a mailbox sensor? I mean the one that informed you, if somebody has put something into your (physical) mailbox like ads newspaper or letter? I think about a reticulum/meshcore radio connection as my box is too far away for my WiFi.

#HomeAssistant dog owners, please help! I am getting a small dog and I am looking for a Bluetooth tag to attach to a dog collar. It should have a long battery life. I already use the Bermuda #BLE Trilateration integration for room presence so this one needs to work with that too (does it have to be iBeacon?). Should work locally. Also, I need a case that fits the tag and attaches to a dog collar. Ideally waterproof.

Any recommendations?

I have recently installed an Apollo Automation AIR-1, and have setup a bunch of automation around the CO2 and VOC sensors. I have a semi-smart air purifier, that can be controlled by Home Assistant, but doesn't have a VOC sensor, so the AIR-1 is activating it. When the VOC levels goes down, the CO2 goes down as well. I have a feeling this will improve my productivity a lot!

The demolition part of our apartment renovation is now over. Time to start thinking about the nerd shit.

Playing with the scheduler card for #HomeAssistant from nielsfaber, the person behind Alarmo.

A little complicated to start with but very powerful, being able to quickly tweak schedules right from the dashboard is great and saves having lots of automations/input helpers to manage.

Grow lights to start with but I plan to use this for home battery management, could also work for heating/water schedules but I have those running on the Hive for resilience.

NAS spento.
Schemi elettrici presenti.
Padre presente.

Se tutto va bene da questo pomeriggio avrò tre aggeggini #Shelly collegati in wifi a #HomeAssistant per:
- misurare il consumo elettrico di tutto l'appartamento
- intervenire sul boiler elettrico e farlo staccare se l'appartamento consuma piu di 3 kW per tot secondi

e poi chissa quante altre cose...

Wusstest du schon, dass Home Assistant im April bekanntgegeben hat, dass das System 2 Millionen Haushalte einsetzen? Wohl verdient würde ich sagen. Und ein herzliches Glückwunsch Übrigens: Was ist deine Lieblings-Automation? #HomeAssistant #SmartHome #Automation #IoT

Anybody out there know how to root really old #Android tablets in the year 2025 CE? I have a Dell Venue 3730 that is running KitKat (4.4.2) and that's the most modern thing it can run. I've been searching around the net for options and so much of it either (a) requires Windows (which I don't have) or (b) has died because of link rot, or (c) doesn't go back as far as Android 4.

I want to point this thing at a #homeassistant dashboard and make it like a remote console. But I can't get kiosk mode on something so old without rooting it (I think).

Also, the HTML that comes natively out of Lovelace is way too complex for #Chrome 32.0, which is what I have on the tablet. It just displays the HA logo and I never see more.

So I will need a simpler, possibly not websocket-based way, to load dashboards on HA, as well.

Any #mobile or #homeautomation folks have good pointers on how to do this?

I'm using my international radio on my Home Assistant Yellow for Thread so I added a Sonoff ZigBee dongle. I really hate large USB dongles hanging out the back of things, so I took the opportunity to finally learn FreeCAD and design a new top shell that could house that dongle internally. A few painful hours of trial and error, one U-Shaped USB extension, and one short antenna extension later and it's looking much cleaner! It is a shame I don't have a resin printer or know how to use one, because it would have been nice to keep the translucent plastic aesthetic. (an atomic purple shell would be so rad!) But I'm really happy with it overall.

What if you want to see a list of news items on your #homeassistant dashboard?
With this tutorial, you can do that yourself! This one took me more time than expected...

A funny father/son moment.

In my journey with #homeassistant, I converted from a 4-year old docker installation to a VM running HAOS. I have been renaming devices and redoing touchscreens and dashboards. A few things aren’t quite right.

My college age (CS Major) son presses a button labeled “small lamp” and it lights up as active. But the lamp doesn’t come on. I say “Yeah. I renamed some devices. I think your mother’s sewing machine is turning on and off.” And he responds “I think that is the most Dad thing you’ve ever said.”

Then he makes a funny reference to The Castle ¹. He says “This home automation system is worth almost as much today as when we bought it.“ we had a laugh.

#dadlife #homeautomation

¹ It’s a hilarious and good natured Australian film. A bit of a sleeper hit or cult classic. at the beginning of the film, the house is a mess of DIY and eccentric choices. It’s at the end of a busy airport runway. And the narrator, a teen son who idolises his funny dad, narrates something along the lines of “Dad reckons the house is worth almost as much now as when he bought it.” A funny, low-key line you can miss if you’re not careful.

Morgen ist wieder großer Tag der Updates im Smart Home. Damit wieder alles auf dem neuesten Stand ist. Zumindest in Home Assistant. Die Docker-Container lasse ich inzwischen alle automatisch durch Watchtower aktualisieren. Das ist soooo praktisch #SmartHome #HomeAssistant #Docker #Automation

Why am I looking up how to add ADS-B to my #HomeAssistant - what could possibly be gained by this?
