bux<a href="https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@arstechnica</a> that's why i use <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> in a vlan without regular internet access.

MiakodaI did something wrong in <a href="https://pdx.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a>, maybe somebody knows how to fix it. I have a setup with speakers plugged in to the machine HAOS is running on, and a setup to play internet radio via those speakers. I also have those same speakers use text to speech for announcements and reminders. Both functions use VLC. Suddenly, any time it plays a text to speech, after it speaks, it plays whatever internet radio I had last been listening to. I switched from just play/pause to actual stop, no change.

Pixel is the smallest dragon- I looked again to see if there is any recent HomeKit integration improvements for AirGradient, but it appears not. They have some old code that has not been modified for newer boards. <a href="https://github.com/gohai/airgradient-homekit#usage" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/gohai/airgradient-homekit#usage</a> It's not really necessary at this time unless I want a smart plug for the humidifier to turn on automatically. - If I really wanted to. could invest in a device like the Home Assistant Green dedicated to run Home Assistant out of the box, and as well as other services. It's a steep $100 compared to other cheaper boards that can run HA, but would save me some labor. The only board I have is a OrangePi Zero 2w with 1 GB of ram, where HA needs 2 GB. <a href="https://www.home-assistant.io/green/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.home-assistant.io/green/</a><a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/humidity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humidity</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/airGradient" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#airGradient</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/airQuality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#airQuality</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/openSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openSource</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/openHardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openHardware</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/homeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeAssistant</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/orangePi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orangePi</a>

Pixel is the smallest dragon- I was able to successfully set up the AirGradient alarm, designate AirGradient as a VIP contact, and get banner notifications to my phone and watch when AirQuality has stagnated around 560 or lower to close windows or 900 to open windows. Admittedly, I'm finding that this is a small margin, but there might not be much better ways of improving ventilation as a renter. I will have to accept the humidity losses during the day as inevitable. - I experimented with opening my window in the evening past the lowest outdoor humidity dip to minimize humidity losses, then closed the space and turned my humidifier on for about two hours before bed. The air quality was above 1000 just around 1 am, so I slept in non-ideal conditions for 7 hours. - I learned that I can add notes to my data and hope to do that more often for a few days to better remember when actions can be correlated to changes in data. <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/humidity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humidity</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/airGradient" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#airGradient</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/airQuality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#airQuality</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/openSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openSource</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/openHardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openHardware</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/homeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeAssistant</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/orangePi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orangePi</a>

pfriedmaSo I ended up picking up two of the <a class="hashtag" href="https://pfedi.pfriedma.org/tag/nabucasa" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NabuCasa</a> voice beta devices for <a class="hashtag" href="https://pfedi.pfriedma.org/tag/homeassistant" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> Definitely more feature-full than the one I made myself. Creating custom command automations helps a LOT because the built in intents (especially for scenes and scripts) leaves a bit to be desired. I have a couple of custom automations for: * 5 day weather forecast * general indoor air status (temp, humidity, co2) * running the house fan * giving a random recipe (calls my local ollama box and reads back the result * giving a random fact (same integration different prompt) * activating specific hue scenes The biggest issue so far is recognition quality. This may be a factor of the microphones or the recognition model I'm using but I run into a lot of "Turn off basement lights" "I'm not aware of any device called 'Mason flights'" kind of thing. It works much better if you're standing right over it. But other than that, it's working out pretty well

Chris 🩲So here's something I'm starting to like, still a little rough around the edges. Charts include;- Financial savings from using solar energy instead of grid energy based on agile pricing and export tariff - Current inverter output - Grid usage (both import and export) - House consumption, with blue meaning battery is being charged - Battery fullness - Equivalent value at current import cost - Battery drain time based on current consumption*now with comparison image<a href="https://underwear.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> <a href="https://underwear.social/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solar</a>

nirik :fedora: :redhat:Got some temp / humidty sensors today ( <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCZ7JVTY" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCZ7JVTY</a> ). Paired right up and work great. So now I have computer closet, house, garage and outside temp/humidity. Gathering data is fun. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a>

Dr David MillsIn <a href="https://8bitorbust.info/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a>, is there a way to programmatically toggle a switch element like this? I want to turn it off every hour for 5 seconds, then turn it back on.

Rusty CorgiWell I couldn't get the garage keypad of my dreams with an NFC reader and RFID keychain tags, so I did the next best thing and put an NFC tag on the evil no good very bad MyQ keypad so I can open the garage door by tapping my phone against it. :pupper_wag:And yes, I am absolutely petty enough that I stuck the tag right over the MyQ logo because Chamberlain can eat muh loafy butt :corgi_wiggle:<a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAutomation</a> <a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> <a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/MyQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MyQ</a>

Pete 🇨🇦:mstdnca:🏳️‍🌈:CApride:<a href="https://underwear.social/@gayinundies" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gayinundies</a> I'm early in my <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> journey. Unlike the UK, smart meters aren't the norm. My electricity provider says their meters are 'smart' but the data is only available as tables presented as image files. Can't do much with it. For the most part, I'm using it to better manage containers.

Chris 🩲Spent a chunk of today trying to play with <a href="https://underwear.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> templates, sensors, and the like, in an attempt to show the cost benefit of my <a href="https://underwear.social/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solar</a> panels. Yes I know how much I get when exporting back to the grid, but how much would I have spent instead using solar production!? I think I have something basic working but need to let it run for a few days to get some meaningful data. ☀️⚡️🔋💡

Rusty CorgiOne thing that's really fun about setting up home automations is just how many edge cases you don't think about. I decided to sync the lights in our garage to the light on the garage door opener (cuz I have a lil puck that connects to the power/serial port on the opener so I can track it, it's great :blobcorgi_excited: ) so the lights turn on whenever someone pulls in and automatically turn off after a bit. That said, I forgot the opener light flashes when an error happens. One of our dogs got out and walked in front of the door sensor while it was closing and the room turned into a heckin' rave. :party_dog:<a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAutomation</a> <a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> <a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/Konnected" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Konnected</a>

Natasha Nox 🇺🇦🇵🇸*sigh* Every time someone recommends stuff like <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/LineageOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LineageOS</a>, <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Nextcloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nextcloud</a>, <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> or <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> as "alternative to big tech" without pointing to places where you can *buy that stuff ready-to-use* I want to scream.So many tech enthusiasts are utterly disconnected from the reality of those who are not into tech it's not even remotely funny anymore. Even IF our education was good, recommending to just flash your own smartphone is utter insanity.

Unixorn - 90% Snark by weightThere are things out there like the Works With Home Assistant badging program for things that work with <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/hass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hass</a> but we also want to know what doesn't work so we don't waste time and money on them.If you've run across a IOT device that doesn't work with Home Assistant, or works poorly with it (like requiring a cloud service to control a device on your home LAN), please submit it to <a href="https://github.com/unixorn/internet-of-trash" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/unixorn/internet-of-trash</a> so I can add it to the list.Thanks!<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/IOT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IOT</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/homeassistant" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@homeassistant</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/iot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@iot</a>
