A big advantage of home automation / #homeassistant is that you can remotely mess up and accidentally defrost your fridge because somehow the smart plug it is connected to is turned off while applying a software update. Bonus points for doing so while away for multiple weeks. Ask me how I know.
I’ll have to write an automation that sends me a notification when the plug is turned of…

Tempted to call the motion detector in my office „senpai“ because it frequently doesn’t notice me 😫

So, der erste Schritt zur ~"Smart Library" mit HomeAssistant ist gemacht - Testbetrieb Temperaturmessung (via Zigbee).
Da kommen natürlich schnell neue Ideen. Aber bin überrascht, dass es scheinbar keine Lautstärkesensoren (Zigbee oder sonst wie "smart") gibt. Wäre doch toll als Lärmampel.

Ich habe gestern Abend den #Homeassistant doch wieder auf PostgreSQL als recorder-Backend umgestellt, weil die SQLite-Datei geradezu explodiert ist (23 GB nach anderthalb Monaten) und das System immer langsamer wurde.
Außerdem habe ich ltss hinzugefügt, damit die reguläre PostgreSQL-Datenbank schnell und einigermaßen klein bleibt.

I'm planning to set up a music room for $SPOUSE. Neither of us are audiophiles.
Looking for recommendations for amps that support Airplay, and work well with #HomeAssistant.
Must haves:
- local control - I don't want something that will have issues if its mothership turns off servers, or even just because my internet is out.
- AirPlay support
- Works well with Home Assistant
- Supports unpowered speakers
- Doesn't require an app to configure it
Nice to have
- Streaming support
- IOS app for control
Also looking for disrecommendations for stuff that doesn't work well with HA.

A fairly handy new app just released: #Aivi. It allows you to create iOS live activities that can be controlled via REST, for example via #HomeAssistant. Downsides: proprietary and another subscription, but at least it’s from some guy in Sweden, not a big company or shady startup. Will probably…

@… #homeassistant when will we get the possibility to create custom backup automations with upload to Nabu Casa cloud? Or the possibility to exclude history from automatic backups to Nabu Casa cloud? I can't upload a 30GB file to the cloud stor…

Set up HA to sent a metrics to Prometheus over MQTT so I can scale the PostgreSQL server I have on my home cluster for development down when my PC is off:

#EmbeddedSoftwareMeetup #HomeAssistant #Zürich

Knapp 1/3 (34) der Geräte sind jetzt auf ZHA migriert.
81 sind noch auf zigbee2mqtt.
Bei der Migration habe ich ein paar logische Schwachstellen gefunden, die ich noch stopfen muss.

I have a wall tablet for my #HomeAssistant. It's a Lenovo tablet that is permanently hooked up to power. It is using the battery protection feature to stay between 80 and 20% charge to enhance battery life.
It just managed to run out of power and shut down. It's now complaining that it doesn't have enough power to boot, while literally hooked up to a power cable.

Looking for inspiration for organizing my automations in #HomeAssistant, so two questions to the mastodon hive mind:
- There are groups and labels - how do y‘all use these?
- what’s your naming scheme for the automations?
Mine are currently all over the place with a mixture of different naming schemes and even languages, and I want to move it over to a more future-proof st…

Finally managed to hook my #GoogleNest in #HomeAssistant.
If you are in the same situation, remember to remove *all* Google credentials first. Home Assistant doesn't allow org accounts, only regular ones. I had Google Drive with my main account, which is in my own org.

FYI all, portainer is giving away 3 node business licenses. #kubernetes support since the last time I visited their site, so I'm interested in checking how well that interacts with #talos.
Some of my #homelab machines currently just run a few containers in #docker_compose stacks for services my #homeassistant server is using like node red and I've been using #portainer for simple things like checking status or restarting things without having to ssh into those workers. Most of those containers are going to get migrated into my #k8s cluster, so it'll be interesting to see how well it works as a quick web interface.

For a couple of days now, #Zigbee2mqtt in my #HomeAssistant has been randomly crashing, and the „watchdog“ function of HA is not automatically restarting it. I didn’t change anything about the hardware, I just updated the software (but not sure if it is connected to that). It’s been gett…

I made a helm chart for running Eclipse Mosquitto in a k8s cluster for my Home Assistant and wrote a blog post showing how to configure and install it.

#IKEA hat einige neue #thread / #matter Smarthome Geräte im Programm!
Ich hab mir einfach mal von allen, die lieferbar waren, je eins bestellt und sie in #homeassistant eingebunden.
