There goes my Sunday afternoon
#HomeAssistant #SQLite

Wiring up the new sump pump from the old raspi sump mess I had from the old pump (I made it messy; great project). Adding alarm details with the dry contacts on the newer unit. #esphome #homeassistant
I thought about using an old Pi like before, but I had a spare ESP8266.

I found a great deal on a thermostat ($6 vs $100). The crucial factor was that it integrates with Home Assistant. My only gripe is that it has to be activated through a phone app first (even though I've used a fake email), and I wish it could be added to a guest network.

Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeAssistant
There is a @… bot that replaces the old gup.pe home assistant bot.
Mention it in your homeassisitant posts and it will boost them. Follow it to see all the #homeasistant posts it boosts that may not normally get federated to your instance.
There’s also @… - follow that and it will automatically boost everything you post with #homeassistant without you having to remember to mention the bot.
For those who don’t know, these bots exist because when you look for a a hashtag, your server only checks the posts that have been federated to it.
In order for a message to be federated to your server, the author (or one of the people boosting it) have to be followed by someone on your server. If no one touching the message is being followed, it’ll never get federated to your server and you won’t see it.
Hashtags are great for finding messages, but only messages that were federated to your server. They don’t help message propagation, but these bots will.

Fcking up the ZigBee Sonoff dongle update to move to ember, and all of my ZigBee devices left my network...
It's really annoying that there isn't a single standard for resetting ZigBee devices. Blinking lights and pressing buttons in random order. And have to open up my doorlock to get access to the button to reset it, so it yet again can communicate with my #homeassistant…

Genug Starkstrom-Leitungen für die PV-Anlage verlegt – Zeit für den feinen Lötkolben und das Elektronik-Lab! 🔌🛠️
Als erstes Projekt steht jetzt die saubere Integration der Anlage in #HomeAssistant an. Datenströme visualisieren, Automationen bauen und endlich die volle Kontrolle über die eigene Energie haben.
Lötkolben ist heiß, Oszilloskop läuft – jetzt wird gebastelt! ⚡️…

Is there no way to get TTS to play on my HomePod from Home Assistant if I don't use https with HA?
I have some mobile notifications set up, but it'd be really useful if I could get audibly screamed at if like I'm still awake at 11pm and stuff.

So now Home Assistant requires you to open its web UI via http in order to... change the web UI http settings. What the fuck could go wrong right? This has to be the dumbest change I've ever seen done in a software.
If the default settings don't work for you how are you supposed to do the first configuration of your instance?
