Dear #family #homelab'ers: When do you update your shit? For me, updating #Proxmox means no internet in the home and no #HomeAssistant. How do you handle that shit? Wait until everyone is at sleep and hope the night doesn't get too long? Randomly during the day hoping nobody will complain/notice?

Ich bin wirklich kein Coding-Experte. Aber was der Github Copilot so vorschlägt funktioniert nie sofort, selten nach der dritten Korrektur. Da komme ich (noch) schneller ans Ziel, wenn ich vernünftige Tipps von vertrauenswürdigen Seiten lese oder im Forum nachfrage.
Wie geht es euch?

Big shout out to @revk and their https://github.com/revk/ESP32-Faikin project that reverse engineers remote control protocol of Daikin AC units and removes dependency on semi-working IR blaster controllers or official Daikin cloud back-and-forth and proprietary phone app remote. I live in Japan - home of Daikin and had zero issues installing and making Faikins work in all my domestic units. They did not have S21 port so I also had to add official interface boards. #homeassistant #faikin

Has #Homeassistant got a new blue? This isn't the profile colour I'm used to. I'm not against it. it's a bit softer, a bit frendlier. I'm just surprised HA got so friendly

Stymied in my #HomeAssistant projects today.

Project A: was going to setup the waterproof distance sensors I got. (One for a fountain tank and one for my well water holding tank), but amazingly didn't have any more HY2.0-4Pin connectors to connect it to a atom s3-lite. Ordered some more.

Project B: mounting my weather station. It said it took a 1" pole, so I stupidly thought some 1" PVC would work for now. Nope, thats _inner_ diameter on pvc. ;(

I've got #ProxMox with #Frigate up and running across 16 #Amcrest cameras.

The #HomeAssistant integration isn't setup yet because I had weird things happen when I started adding the secondary streams like I had gotten working with one test camera before (using the "detection" stream on a second instance of a camera with higher resolution to feed Home Assistant to take snapshots).

So I guess I'll have to figure that out again...

Had some time and integrated live #Photovoltaic energy metrics into my website

https://stefanberger.net/photovoltaic/

How it works:
- a cronjob on an internal VM fetches data from #HomeAssistant every minute
- replaces placeholders in a template.html on the external facing VM

Alright, it's time to try building my own ESP32 universal remote to use with #HomeAssistant

#shelly Dimmer am neuen #Systemair Lüfter montiert und Strom angeschlossen.
Den Dimmer in #HomeAssistant und #Homekit eingebunden.
Ich bin überrascht wie reibungslos das alles funktioniert hat.
Der erste Schritt zur stromsparenden Raumkühlung ist erledigt.
Nun muss der ganze Bums nur noch eingebaut werden.

Neues Elektronikprojekt:
Ersatz für ein Echo Show. Ich wollte ein altes Tablet mit fullykioskbrowser und Home Assistant dashboard benutzen, aber das stürzt mir ständig ab. Also wird jetzt komplett selber gebaut und mit esphome programmiert.
- 7" Display mit Touchscreen und Esp32
- HIFI-ESP32
- PIR Bewegungssensor
- LDR Helligkeitssensor
- Rahmen 3D gedruckt

Erkenntnisgewinn des Tages: "Das Backup von #HomeAssistant enthält keine Konfigurationen der andereren Docker Container!". Da hätte ich auch schneller drauf kommen können.

Trying to decide what I want a #HomeAssistant 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.

tried setting up zigbee2mqtt as a #HomeAssistant addon today, and failed after two hours of trying to get HA to see the dongle at all (let alone pass it through to the addon)

moved the dongle over to my docker host (which is another VM on the same hardware as the HAOS VM), ran Z2M as a normal container and 10 minutes later I had the first device registered :D

Looks like HA Addons still have a way to go to be in "it just works" territory :/

Hab wieder 2 #HomeAssistant Benachrichtigungen gamifiziert ^^
Natürlich auch mit entsprechendem To-Do Listen Eintrag in #Habitica

I'm having lots of fun with 433 MHz devices in #HomeAssistant

The obvious things are temperature and moisture sensors everywhere. What are some other good sensors?

Trying to decide which would be more painful,—
a) converting each line of a text file into an all day event in a year long ical, or
b) somehow reading the same text file in #HomeAssistant each morning to create some kind of message of the day entity/helper/thing
