Nachdem seit Donnerstag endlich unser #Energiespeicher installiert ist, habe ich mich nun auch mit #HomeAssistant beschäftigt - und bin sehr begeistert, wie viele Werte und Statistiken man damit schon nach kurzer Einarbeitungszeit rausholen kann - und was Homeassistant alles kann.
Da ärgere ich mich fast, dass ich das so lange nur auf der Todo-Liste hatte

Allerdings verstehe ich noch nicht alle Werte / Entities des #Goodwe #Wechselrichter, was die angeben bzw. worin der Unterschied liegt.
Bsp: "Meter Active Power Total" und "Active Power".

Das ist vom Wert her nicht dasselbe, ich verstehe aber noch nicht, was der Unterschied ist.

Meine #Wallbox #Tinkerforge #Warp3 bekomme ich leider noch gar nicht in Home Assistent und habe dazu noch keine Info / Anleitung gefunden. Ich bin aber 100% sicher, dass die sich in Home Assistent integrieren lässt. Da muss ich vielleicht mal bei Tinkerforge anfragen.

Was die Konfiguration von Home Assistent betrifft, habe ich auch noch ein paar Baustellen. Ich würde z.B. die Bezeichnungen und Farben von "energy-distribution" (in angehängtem Bild 1 das untere Diagramm) gern anpassen wie beim #HACS #Addon #PowerFlowCardPlus. Ich kapiere aber noch nicht, was ich dazu im #CodeEditor angeben muss.

#HomeAssistant dashboard: Useful #HACS custom elements

Este finde ya se publicó en el HACS (Home Assistant Community Store) mi primera contribución (espero que no la última) al gran proyecto de #HomeAssistant.

Una tontería para poder poner el modo "boost" en los termos eléctricos de #Ariston Lydos.

WEIRD! I created a #HomeAssistant #Hacs card to deliver the new #xkcd comic every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and deliver a RANDOM comic on other days. I coded it, so I know it's RANDOM. But look what it popped up TODAY, just before Valentine's Day!!!

Something broke my #HACS integration in #homeassistant. I was lazy and re-ran the install script, which detected the existing integration and fixed it. Yay.

What the #HACS?

I do not know why the Home Assistant developers foster such a hostile environment, and I really hope it doesn't push the whole ecosystem backwards again. (This new legal entity seems like a very bad sign to me, but I've had entirely too much experience with "corporate" open source.)

The "Cool Kids" clique has managed to negatively impact everything. Did you get kicked out of HACS by a malicious request? Too bad! Found a simple easy-to-reproduce bug? File an excellent report, and sit back until stalebot closes it. Oh but you have a patch? It got rejected! Don't worry though, because there is a decent chance a Cool Kid will copy it and submit it as their own. Did you find a security issue? Oh no! File it quick to protect everyone! Too bad they will tell you it is invalid, and then later they will post-date the notification so they can give tons of public credit to a Cool Kid instead.

And these are just incidents that I am finding by accident as I try to use and contribute to this fucking mess. Almost every time I have to deal with the core ecosystem it turns out that the bug is old. Usually someone else already tried and got shit on (or ignored until the robot says "fuck off you don't matter".) Sometimes I get unlucky and it is my turn to get the stinky end of the stick. Usually I don't bother anymore.

This is not about scale. This isn't even about #stalebot, although of course stalebot helps gatekeep by ignoring the Cool Kids. This isn't about misfiled tech support "bugs", or about improper disclosure. This isn't about "that mean person told me my code sucked." This is purely about the "Us vs Them" gatekeeping bullshit.

I originally wrote this out with a bunch of examples, but every third word being a link to a bug or blog (or both) took something away from it.

In the previous post of this focus, we replaced #PhilipsHue automation with the one from @homeassistant. One significant gap we noticed was that Home Assistant doesn’t automatically adjust the brightness according to the time of the day. We are going to address this gap.

The first step when wanting to add a feature to Home Assistant is to browse through available integrations. While there was no out-of-the-box integration, I discovered an alternative: #HACS.

Also eines ist bei #HomeAssistant (vermutlich*) nicht wirklich gut gelöst.

Das neue Update auf 2024.08 erfordert eine Datenbankkonvertierung. Aber eine #HACS Komponente will nach einem erforderlichen Update (weil auf 2024.08 gewechselt) einen Neustart.

Wenn man ausversehen den Neustart auslöst, hat man dann verloren? (ja, Backup wird immer erstellt).

Wäre es nicht besser, Aufforderungen zum Neustart zu verzögern (und das zu kommunizieren)?

*) nicht ausprobiert

I updated my Home Assistant to current release, including all Integrations, scripts, HACS stuff et all.

Why do I hate myself?

The #Solcast repository for #Homeassistant #HACS apparently vanished:
https://github.com/oziee/ha-solcast-solar
Seems the whole user is gone.

Anyone an idea what is going on?

Last month I learned about the integration which helps track battery change status in various devices connected to #homeassistant.

Today I installed #HACS integration (source) called ‘Battery Notes‘. After the installation and HA restart, it automatically found my #Aqara battery devices (#Zigbee buttons, magnetic door sensors, temperature and humidity):

These devices now have 3 new entities: Battery replaced (date), Last replaced (time since replacement), and Battery Type (e. g. CR….).

The status of the battery’s last replacement is shown like this:

… and the type of the battery like this:

This integration is surely useful because I always forget what type of CR…. batteries should I buy.

I just hope I will remember to press ‘battery replaced’ in HA when changing the batteries.

New house, new bin schedule. New Home assistant integration of course.
