Wenn ihr #Homeassistant als VM auf einem #Proxmox Cluster betreibt und den Zustand zwischen den Nodes repliziert, damit ihr eine höhere Ausfallsicherheit habt:
Deaktiviert den qemu-agent!
Ansonsten wird bei jeder Replikation eine freeze-thaw-session durchlaufen und das erzeugt Probleme…

Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeAssistant
There is a @homeassistant@fedigroups.socialbot that replaces the old gup.pe home assistant bot.
Mention it in your home asssitant posts and it will boost them. Follow it to see all the #homeassistant 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.

Was mir bei #Homeassistant richtig fehlt, ist eine Möglichkeit, den Speicherverbrauch einzelner Integrationen tracken zu können.
Ich kann das nur indirekt, indem ich einzeln Integrationen deaktiviere und dann abwarte, die Differenz bilde und dann grob abschätze - aber das ist überhaupt nicht das, was ich benötige.
Ich würde wirklich gern wissen, wie viel Speicher eine Integration…

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…

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.

Irgendwas frisst hier ganz schnell, ganz viel RAM …

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:

Well, it's about time I got started on my latest self-hosted project: Home Assistant. Luckily, I've had an RPi 4 for a while now, so I'm saving myself the money these gadgets cost these days.
First stop: automating the lighting system.
Next stop: smart irrigation system.
Here I go!
#selfhosted

Migration von z2m auf zha abgeschlossen.
Alle 107 derzeit aktiven Geräte (die Gartenbewässerung ist derzeit nicht in Betrieb) sind erfolgreich umgezogen und tun ihren Job.
#Homeassistant

#Homeassistant update 2026.4.2. What could possibly go wrong? A dot release before going to bed, sure. OK. Does not boot. OK, try reboot again. Nope. OK, restore from backup (which it does before the update). Oh, now the backups don't work anymore. Get around the 500 by creating a dummy user. Uploading backup and restore: Does not boot. Try older backup. Same. Try new SD Card. Same. 2h wasted instead of sleep and no HA anymore. *sigh*

Oh, another nice thing I just saw: iOS Live Activities are finally coming to #HomeAssistant!

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.

Heute ab 18:30 findet das #EmbeddedSoftwareMeetup zum Thema #HomeAssistant bei #SupercomputingSystems in

**About** Home Assistant is an open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. It is powered by a worldwide community of tinkerers and DIY enthusiast

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.

Upgraded Home Assistant from 2026.2.2 to 2026.3.3 last night and it stopped reading the status of my zigbee devices via MQTT.
I'm running HAOS in a proxmox VM and zigbee2mqtt 2.1.1 in a docker container hosted in a different physical with a ConBee2 radio.
To check connectivity issues I had the integration listen for # and saw state updates for my zigbee sensors.
What finally fixed it was going into zigbee2mqtt's settings and disabling and re-enabling Home Assistant integration.

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.

Es gab:
ALPSTUGA: Luftqualitätsmessgerät
BILRESA: Einfach 2 Knöpfe
MYGGBETT: Ein Tür-/Fenster-offen Sensor
KLIPPBOK: Ein Wassersensor
und ein Bewegungs- und Lichtsensor namens „MYGGSPRAY“ 🤪
