Home Assistant

I see alot of posts about the amazing stuff they are doing or the stuff that's working. Let's do the opposite. What's the jankiest automation or setup you've done that works?

With me I've got 4 seperate automations for a door sensor. One that controls lights based on it opening and closing. 1 that turns off the Roku if playing when the door opens. 1 that turns off music when it opens and 1 that turns on music when the door closes.

And 4 buttons that adjust a toggle which an automation is linked to rather than directly making the buttons a trigger.

Hey everyone!

Thanks to your incredible support, we've now sold nearly 1000 Sensy-One S1 mmWave sensors! Your enthusiasm means a lot to me!

I'm excited to announce that the highly requested PoE (Power over Ethernet) version is nearly complete! It should be available for pre-order on our website by the end of next week.

Third reality plug died on me(and I missed the warning signs) (old.reddit.com)

My smart plug controlled my ERV, which worked flawlessly for a long time.

The last few nights the switch started turning on by itself, and not shutting off via automation.

While I was bouncing around troubleshooting I saw my power consumption chart. My ERV draws about 140 watts when running(not variable). The history showed power output at 90 watts, 80 watts, 110 watts... Inconsistent.

Well, unfortunately for me, I'm autistic, and sometimes when my head is in another problem my brain sees something but cannot focus on it and glazes over it. It's only later that I realize and understand the significance of what I saw(this happens a lot in conversations as well, afterwards and completely randomly I'm like "holy crap, they were talking about this!")

I replaced the outlet with a z wave one I already ordered, then changed my automations to the new plug, and deleted the old plug(I wasn't confident that deleting the device from an automation wouldn't delete my automation, so I did it in that order)

But now I'm pissed I didn't grab a screenshot of the history to share! If anyone knows how to pull historical data from a deleted device let me know please.

This realization is a little concerning to me. The outlet became a resistor essentially, and that could be dangerous. I will disassemble the outlet when I have time and see if I can notice anything off.

Moving forward, it seems wise to add an automation that warns me if my ERV power consumption is less than expected. That shouldn't be hard, and it will give me a little piece of mind.

Figured I'd share. Thanks.

I have Bali blinds in my living room, which can be controlled via Zigbee. How do I close the blinds when the sun starts to shine into the living room and heating it up? I assume I need a lux sensor? If so, which one would you recommend?

Do folks run Home Assistant on their primary or IoT network? And for those that have a PoE based Z2M such as SLZB-06, does that go on the primary or IoT network?
