Still have to implement the #HomeAssistant #prometheus/#OTEL export to make #Keda be able to do this.

Plus, I still need to get a decent autoscaler in place. But first, to blog about my current one. Main "issue" is that my current one only takes one node offline every cron job run. So to take 5 dow,n it needs 50 minutes.

That is not ideal when it gets hotter than desired, but doable when it's mainly idle nodes. This plays in directly with blog.wyrihaximus.net/2024/12/b

Cees-Jan Kiewiet's blog · Building a kubernetes homelab with Raspberry Pi and Lego: Nodes: EnclosureOne of the main concerns with using LEGO to build enclosures for the nodes is safety. Raspberry Pies can get hot, and no one wants things to go ablaze. So I, after a few iterations, designed the enclosures with plenty of room for moving air around and through the nodes. And in theory that can be stacked on each other. With a big fan on the front to keep it cool.

@seanhood @brad also, for “smart” heating, I highly recommend Honeywell Evohome. It’s not subscription based, and will operate entirely disconnected from the internet.

That said, if you do connect it to the internet, there’s a phone app and an API that allows #homeAssistant integration.

I use scenes a lot within #HomeAssistant and have done for years, because of this many were using the old deprecated mired colour temperatures rather than kelvin.
I asked copilot to do it within VS Code, it wrote me a little python script that iterated a copy of my scenes.yaml, doing the calculation and replacing the key/value for each that it found, saved me many hours doing it in the UI and I now have a lot less warnings in my log.

Slowly dipping my toe in with #HomeAssistant. So far I've got several new devices set up after scanning the home including Satan's hardware, the printer and even the router. Next step I believe is digging into "rooms" and/or zones so I can map out where everything is.

I have an OG Google Nest thermostat with “HeatLink” heating controls. Got it free when I signed up for the electricity supply when we moved in 10 years ago, works fine, the thermostat isn’t ugly, all good. Until later this year when Google will stop supporting it and I won’t be able to control it remotely or set schedules any more. I’ll be able to turn the heating on and off manually, that’s it.

So I’ve been looking at alternatives, there’s a few out there, Drayton Wiser stuff seems to be the best option for integrating with #HomeAssistant, a wall panel and wireless thermostat is around €200, and I can add on thermostatic radiator valves for zoned heating.

But then I realised that all the HeatLink thing I have now does is toggle the power to the boiler when it gets a command wirelessly… it’s a smart relay. Like a #Shelly smart relay. I can literally swap it out for a Shelly relay and use Home Assistant to turn the boiler on and off. I think I have one in a drawer somewhere, and if not they’re like €25.

I first heard of #homeassistant around 3 or 4 years ago. I didn’t really look into it until today, my first question was, why? The webpage didn’t seem to offer a clear response. I ‘sort of’ got it until I had a read at the founder’s vision in this blog post: home-assistant.io/blog/2016/01 || @homeassistant, if you’re open to feedback, I think a ‘Why Home Assistant’ section before ‘Get Started’ would make UX smoother for newcomers. :thinkhappy:

Styrbar Connection Issues [Zigbee]

feddit.org/post/16116586

feddit.orgStyrbar Connection Issues [Zigbee] - feddit.orgHello, quite new to the world of HA, but I’ve successfully set up some Tradfri LEDs and integrated my Valetudo robot to. I’ve got a RP4 with a Sonoff dongle, and use ZHA to integrate all my devices. Now, whenever I try to add the IKEA Styrbar remote control, it does get added to the device list, but no information about battery, nor firmware is displayed. Also, ZHA does not registrate any infos sent from the device, when clicking a button on it, nor does the “identify” command does anything recognizable on the device itself. I’ve searched the internet for a bit, and for some it has worked by switchting to zigbee2mqtt. I’ve tried adding the device there with the same result: It does get recognized, but no information is received by the remote or from the remote. I’m currently in the process of trying to manually update the firmware, but there is only one link to one firmware version so I’ve found, and it’s from 2023, the newest firmware for the Styrbar should be from August 2024. So, did you happen to also have similar trouble with this particular device? Is it a good idea to manually flash the firmware? Do you know where I can find the newest firmware? Thank you all! :-)

I got that plugin working! Now my #HomeAssistant #Frigate #ProxMox setup is successfully syncing to the remote server.

Wish I had found this plugin last week 😅

Now I can move on to playing around with the Frigate AI detection.

And I still need to figure out how to make the snapshots pull from the high resolution camera feeds. No clue yet how to do that.

Finally stepped through and upgraded my home assistant from 2021.12 to 2025.7

Some things broke of course.... But most were already broken.

All of my tasmota devices that I upgraded to 9.5 a while back show don't work in the native Tasmota integration mode.. they register and then show no data, works fine in mqtt discovery mode. Aka stuck using Setoption19 1 rather than Setoption19 0

When things need my attention, badges appear across the top of my dashboard to let me know.

No, I don’t have smart circuit breakers, but I have a few that will pop on occasion so I created a template sensor containing the specific lights that become unavailable that turns ON when the breaker pops. From there, it’s just another hidden badge like the rest of them.

#GoodMorning! I’ve had a little sleep last night, because I’ve rolled a dice on changing #Zigbee network channel… They do warn you it’s experimental feature.

It’s been previously running on channel 11, which is in fact a shitshow, as there are up to 100 2.4GHz networks around here…😅

Switched to 25.

FORTUNATELY, most of the devices did migrate, leaving me with only a few stubborn switches.

It seems to be working more reliably. Fingers crossed!😍🙈
