Ich weiß, KI wird hier oft pauschal abgelehnt und ich kann das durchaus nachvollziehen.
Aber für meine Projekte mit Home Assistent bin ich auf KI angewiesen, sonst würde ich an vielen Stellen nicht weiter kommen, weil ich das in meiner Freizeit mache.
Heute habe ich wieder an meinen Anzeigen […]
My only real use of vibecoding is fixing broken abandoned #homeassistant addons. I'm not a programmer at all, and it actually does the job.
I made a dirty joke to my husband. Our #GoogleHome smart speaker cut in and started lecturing me. It's now unplugged and I'm looking at #HomeAssistant as a replacement. Or just go without, I am capable of manipulating a light switch.

What a difference when you use a proper ESP-WROOM-32. Flashed and connected immediately - no wasted two days of wondering what was going wrong.
On the bright side; I now know how to use a wire-wrap gun, and v2 #ESPsomfy will be a neater job for […]

Für heute prognostiziert Home Assistent 22 kWh für uns 5.6 kWp PV-Anlage.
Damit ist der Punkt überschritten, am dem unser Haus und unsere eAuto diese Menge an Strom noch verbrauchen kann.
Wir werden also heute ein paar kWh einspeisen.
Das ist natürlich toll für uns, aber aus […]

Just finished setting up the new smart display for our kitchen, powered by Home Assistant!
We've now got quick (and fully local) access to many controls 🎉

A nakonec se mi podařilo spárovat IKEA žárovku #Kajplats s #HomeAssistant přes Zigbee. Oni na tom všude tlačí Matter, ale Zigbee to umí taky. Jen to párování - 12x zapnout a vypnout a až na 13. zapnutí se to začne párovat. :)
K dnešnímu #WorldBackupDay jsem si rozjel backup #HomeAssistant na NAS disk.
Nu gaat het interessant worden om alles aan elkaar te knopen via #Homeassistant :
- #Zendure SolarFlow 2400AC accu’s
- #SMA inverter zonnepanelen
- #Peblar laadpaal
- #Dynamischeenergietarieven
- #WeHeat Blackbird
Het gaat de goede kant op. Al vele weken heb ik nul verbruik op mijn meter. 🥳
De Cube laadpaal er uit en de Peblar geïnstalleerd. 🥳 #EV
Installatie was binnen 30 minuten gedaan. #HomeAssistant integratie gemaakt en aangemeld voor ERE’s.
Cube Charging is het meest slechtste bedrijf qua communicatie dat ik ken, komt nooit afspraken na en qua functionaliteit niet leveren.
Don't be tempted to use ESP32-C3 SuperMini modules. I found out too late that the WLAN PCB antenna is utterly mince on some very cheap copies.
Out of 5x modules, not one would reliably broadcast a visible AP, nor connect.
Even this promising antenna hack only got one on the network […]

Log showing a light turning on at 03:36.
Hey #HomeAssistant friends.
Is there any way to find out *why* a light turned itself on at 3 o'clock this morning?
I can see it happening in the Activity Log - but it doesn't say what caused it.
(Generic #ZigBee lights attached to a Hue Hub, if that makes a difference.)
All trash cans with icon showing if near house or road.
So I finally got my #homeassistant trash integration working (I think). Each trash can has a small iBeacon screwed into it, and now my overview shows if the trash can is near the house or the road (All are near house now).
Due to how I did this, with mushroom cards […]
