Btw, I'm still running #HomeAssistant 2024.10.1. I don't want upgrades to break anything. So it stays on that version until I or my computer turn to dust.

I tried out Homey Self-Hosted Server! (... and switched to using a Homey Pro instead.) https://steffo.blog/i-tried-out-homey-self-hosted-server-and-switched-to-using-a-homey-pro-instead/ This blog post took longer to write than initially anticipated, including having to fully rewrite the whole thing. Oops. Hopefully it's at least an entertaining story! #blog #homey #HomeAssistant

Any recommendation for #SelfHosting a web app, useable on mobile as well as desktop for two people to collaborate making notes with basic WYSIWYG text formatting? The purpose is to help us maintain notes for #renovation and #refurbishment of our home. We're mostly apart so I think it would help being able to edit a list of documents. Say one per room, and for things like lighting, heating, #HomeAutomation etc. Anyone done this? #HomeLab #HomeAssistant

My #netatmo weather stations fails to show me data on the web and in my app because of a Cloud issue. Unfortunately, there is no local way to read the data (at least to my knowledge, the #HomeAssistant integration depends on a cloud connection). I knew about the cloud dependency, when I bought it. But I am still still surprised that the outage is lasting for hours already. https://health.netatmo.com/posts/dashboard

Just got one of my more involved Home Assistant integrations online. We added a pressure transducer to monitor the water pressure for our pressure tank (where the well pump comes in). We have an Olimex PoE ESP32 there already and I decided to custom design and fabricate a PCB (first time ever) as a hat for an ADS1115 ADC and connectors. It works! So we can now monitor our water pressure in excruciating real time precision. Just because. #homeassistant #esp32 #maker #pcb #olimex #poe #esphome

Decided to recreate the energy graph that #Enphase provide in their app in #HomeAssistant, not sure why I waited 18 months to do this. Took me a couple of attempts to set up the helpers correctly and ensure consumption was always negative. Example from yesterday looks rather good, might make the numbers above the graph daily totals instead of 15 minutes averages 📈 #solar

Finally finished my home energy monitor project this afternoon. This uses the infrared port of my Elster R1S hydro meter, read by a repurposed Blueline Innovations PowerCost Monitor sensor. The R1S meter outputs a 100ms wide IR pulse for every 1mWh or energy consumed. Home Assistant uses the ESPHome pulse meter platform to convert these pulses into both power (pulse rate) and energy (pulse counts) readings. The ESP32 fit nicely into a repurposed Raspberry Pi case. #homeassistant #esphome

The LetsEncrypt addon (well, certbot inside it) for #HomeAssistant seems to need an additional Route 53 permission now, if you’re using that for DNS verification. My TLS expiry notification spotted impending doom and the required perm was complained about in the log file. Updated my IAM Policy for it and all fixed 😮‍💨

Oh no! /s What a joyous sight! Our new Samsung TV will never see the outside world. It's connected to our network via ethernet, locked on a VLAN so Home Assistant can connect to it, but it can see nothing except my local DNS server (for now). I've preemptively blocked its WiFi MAC address in case anyone ever accidentally tries to "help" by connecting it to the WiFi. Fully working with Home Assistant. Dumb screen otherwise. Perfect. #homeassistant #samsung #tv #opnsense #firewall #privacy

@zrail@hachyderm.io Interesting. I have a good home assistant setup, but I’m currently using nodered completely separately on the pi for this. I’m just getting started with #esphome. I have a bunch of esp32s sitting around. The central nervous system of this thing is this 8-way relay. I control it with 8 GPIOs off the pi. Closing or opening a relay on the elegoo will cause 24VAC to go to the right place and make the right thing happen. If I can put esphome on an esp32 and control all 8 relays from that, I can do all the scenes and automation in home assistant. That would be super, because the whole family is all familiar with home assistant. Is it that simple? Pick 8 GPIOs on the esp32, and wire them up? Then just control everything in #homeassistant? https://us.elegoo.com/products/elegoo-8-channel-relay-module-kit

Just spent breakfast rebooting the universe as (it looks like) a #HomeAssistant update broke #Matter connectivity. Things seem to be stable now, so 🤞 😡

This is one of my life saving automations. If the freezer is open for more than 30 seconds then send an announcement every 10 seconds to my speakers. What's your best automation? #homeassistant

Mit meinem neuen Rechner kann ich nun auch endlich in Home Assistant echte Kamera-Erkennung machen mit LLM Vision, ollama und einem vision modell mit 14B... das macht richtig Spaß zu sehen, wie die KI die Kamerabilder beschreibt. 😛 #homeassistant #llmvision #ollama #reolink

I like ZigBee for Home-Automation 🙂

Hardware from many different manufacturers, all compatible with each other.

Philips
Ikea
Sonoff
Xiaomi

No proprietary bridges, no cloud, no vendor lock-in. Just some free and open source software (Zigbee2MQTT / Home Assistant) and a tiny USB dongle (ConBee II) as a network coordinator.

All meshing nicely and every grid-powered device effectively extends my network’s range by relaying datagrams.

Mastodon is 100% the early days of social media all over. Some of you will already be familiar with this story. My weather station (a very nice Netatmo that has served very well) crapped out after nearly 10 years of excellent service. I asked for recommendations here for a new station that would play nicely with #HomeAssistant, and hopefully, also HomeKit. I received *many* recommendations, with Ecowitt (and the brands it manufactures for) taking the lead. A connection on here offered me their *unopened* Ecowitt weather station for a very generous price. It arrived yesterday, and I set it up, and it's already doing a great job. Works offline, talks to Home Assistant without any problems. I just need to do a couple of bits of configuration jiggery-pokery and it will pass data to HomeKit. This is very much how things were when I first joined Twitter in 2007. In spite of attempts at #enshittification of everything, the #fediverse is putting up a good fight. May your day online be as satisfying as mine was yesterday.
