This is my first foray into Z-Wave. I am running Home Assistant (2023.6.3) Supervised (2023.06.4) on Debian 11 and I have the 500 Series GoControl HUSBZB-1 and one Ecolink ZWAVE Plus Smart Switch, a battery powered switch faceplate that mounts on top of a dumb single rocker wall switch.

It seemed to work fine for the first few days and then it started getting reported as a dead node at random times after 10, 12, or 20, etc. hours. It will stay dead until I manually flip the switch, at which point it will instantly show up as live again in HA.

As if that wasn't bad enough, it now almost instantly goes dead every time I turn it off and will only become live again if I manually flip the switch to on.

Turn off through HA
    22:58:21.344Z [Node 004] did not respond after 1/3 attempts. Scheduling next try in 500 ms.
    22:58:25.353Z [Node 004] did not respond after 2/3 attempts. Scheduling next try in 500 ms.
    22:58:29.332Z [Node 004] The node did not respond after 3 attempts, it is presumed dead
    22:58:29.332Z [Node 004] The node is now dead.
Turn on manually
    23:01:32.874Z [Node 004] The node is now alive.

I have used both HA Z-Wave JS and also Z-Wave JS UI. I have excluded the node and redone setup from scratch for both. The switch is about 10 feet away from the controller and the controller is connected to the computer using an extension cable (also tried without an extension cable)

It seems weird that it only goes dead when the switch is physically in the "off" position, as if it goes to sleep, which seems logical, but then HA cannot wake it up again. Ping does not fix it. Heal does not fix it.

I'm currently back using Z-Wave JS but when I was using Z-Wave JS UI, I looked at some of the debug info for the switch and it had a parameter (I forgot the name) saying that it periodically woke up every 1000ms to check for network activity. Maybe that isn't working correctly or HA or my controller can't figure out how to work with that.

Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with both of these devices used together? Do I need a better Z-Wave controller? Do I need a better switch (I'm very limited in my choices here since the wiring in my house is not very good and I do not have a neutral wire)?

I have two entities

first is for a temperature sensor- sensor.office_thermostat_temperature

and second is a number helper (slider on the dashboard) - input_number.office_temp_control

How do I create a new entity that appends the second entity to the first

(for example)

sensor.office_thermostat_temperature has a value of 18

input_number.office_temp_control has a value of 17.5

New created entity office_temp_control has a value of 18#17.5 ( # just represents a seperator to parse the two values in a template)

thanks

I'm trying to update HACS from 1.25.5 to 1.32.1, and update has been pending for over a week. I was able to update HACS in another HA instance (different location), so it must be something on my end vs. HACS. I'd appreciate thoughts on how to get HACS to update.

I'm in the process of upgrading my pi4 to raspios 64bit on a new SD card and need to do this in multiple runs, poor little thing has to do a lot :) and I'm not yet at the home automation part. Today I was busy with it during "sunset" and after I rebooted with the old sd card and everything was up and running again none of the sunset triggered automations had run - makes sense but for some reason I was thinking ha knows it was offline and might check whether it missed something on next startup.

Since this is not the case, I was wondering how to do two specific things manually.

• For sunset triggers: Is there any way to fake the sunset trigger if sunset happened while HA was offline?

• For countdown timers: Let's say I've a 3 hour timer and the device went offline when it already counted down to 1.5 hours. Does HA just continue from 1.5h or does it "know" that the 3 hours are over after reboot?

Some thoughts/info on this or any additional ideas are highly appreciated! Hope this won't become a regular thing, but would be nice to prepare HA for situations like this anyway.

Having trouble updating to 2023.06.4, install would appear to proceed, then fail. Checking the logs, it appears I can't reach the image for some reason:

Is this something I can fix, or is the target image missing/borked?

So I’ve been looking to integrate a SimpliSafe door sensor but the instructions don’t seem to work. Has anyone had success with this? I’ve tried following this guide https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/simplisafe/ But the first roadblock is the authorization code. I can’t seem to find the URL in step six.

Hello,

Recently got two sengled light bulbs and set them up via zigbee2mqtt. I have one pretty close to my sonoff usb dongle and one a bit further, here they are in zigbee2mqtt dashboard - https://imgur.com/a/pdS9BXD

The close one (basement) has not had any issues, but my one upstairs (TV Room Light) worked for about a day and now I get timeouts when attempting to use it

Publish 'set' 'state' to 'TV Room Light' failed: 'Error: Command 0xb0ce18140368a397/1 genLevelCtrl.moveToLevelWithOnOff({"level":0,"transtime":10}, {"sendWhen":"immediate","timeout":10000,"disableResponse":false,"disableRecovery":false,"disableDefaultResponse":false,"direction":0,"srcEndpoint":null,"reservedBits":0,"manufacturerCode":null,"transactionSequenceNumber":null,"writeUndiv":false}) failed (Timeout - 55096 - 1 - 23 - 8 - 11 after 10000ms)'

I guess signal strength is not good in that location, although there is a sonoff switch about a foot away which has a low LQI but has worked no problem. I also have even lower LQIs in other places (under 40) and those are working fine...

Anyone have any suggestions of things to try? Did a full rest of the bulb and still an issue. I know that modifying the wifi channel is an option but I'd like to try something not as drastic at first. I heard you can use some devices as boosters, could I do that? I have sonoff plugs (S31ZB) and switches (SNZB-01) not sure if they can boost signals to other devices.....

Thanks!

I want to hear from folks who have a fully integrated setup. I really want to know your experiences please.

What do I mean by fully integrated?

Well I’d like to integrate the following: smart thermostat, motorized blinds, motorized vents, smart ceiling fans, a whole home humidifier/dehumidifier, whole home UV air sanitizer - HVAC kind, plus sensors of course.

I realize this is super expensive so there aren’t a ton of people who might have setups like this.

What system would best integrate all of this? Home kit? Alexa? Home assistant? What have you all tried?

TIA

Now I know zigbee2mqtt with skyconnect is iffy and Im new to home assistant. I got it running by enabling silicon labs thread support with this config

port: tcp://core-silabs-multiprotocol:9999 adapter: ezsp

However when I go to the web interface with 2 osram lightify bulbs in pair mode ZigBee2mqtt sees nothing at all. Previously I had them paired just fine with ZHA. Am I maybe just out of luck without waiting or a new adapter? I really wanted to try zigbee2mqtt as I heard good things and wanted to tinker before I commit to it or ZHA.

Guess I should say I am running HAOS on a Dell 3050 and have sky connect connected with a 3' USB extension along with a zooz 800 zwave adapter.

Hi all, I'm pretty new to Home Assistant and am trying to learn about all the services and automations you can achieve.

I'm trying to make an automation for when me or my partner enter or leave our work zones which I have set in the zones panel. If one of us enter our work zones, it should send a notification to the other person's phone to let them know they got to work safe.

Things I need to understand is:

1. Can home assistant track our phones device tracker entities when we are not connected to the home assistant network?

If not, I have a free trial for Nabu Casa but am not sure if that polls the devices location or if I have to explicitly remotely connect in order to send home assistant my location.

1. I have seen you can get round the device tracker by using an integration like OwnTracks. If that was to work, can I then send notifications to our phones as that again would need connection to home assistant to receive them.

Thanks!

Switching over from SmartThings. Samsung had a free remote access service built in. Didn’t pay for it.

Home Assistant offers a remote service through NabuCasa $60/year. No friggin way. I roll my own everything so that’s not happening.

Question is: how do y’all do it?

VPN? Expose it from home network? I do have my own domain and pay for external Dynamic DNS.

Other things I’m not thinking of?

FWIW, I have a Ubiquiti UDMPro, a pi-hole, multiple Synology NAS’s, in terms of things that have remote access features built in. Also subscribe to NordVPN that seems to have some remote acccess options.

Just curious how everyone does it.

I would like to have a visual represantation of the ai assistant so i can make it more alive.

Im working on a ai assistant that is more than just a assistant by using the chatgpt api.

I managed to get it working with web hooks but i think it lack a interisting appearance that i can look at when im interacting to it.

I tough of using UE5 for the visuals because im quite familiar with blueprint coding and the animation systhem but i have to find a way of getting data from home assistant ( sound and chat gpt's custom variables).

Also (if possible) make a custom interface to interact with the assistant without having to use the full dash.

If its not possible to do it with UE, is there a addon that i can implement that can do it with custom assets ( 3D files if possible)?

I’m having my driveway redone & figured this would be my best opportunity to add some in-ground lighting. The lights will need to be wired into a Low Voltage Transformer & I’d like something that integrates into HA so they can be automated. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not really sure how to diagnose this to even look for the problem.

I noticed the slowdown right away with some history graphs but then noticed that it can even extend to some system settings. When I try to load the Backups page it sometimes takes an extreme amount of time or just hangs indefinitely.

I have tried rebooting the entire device and tried accessing it via the Android app (which is up to date) and the web interface.

Has Home Assistant simply outgrown my Raspberry Pi 4 and I need a new device? Is it possible some runaway process is soaking up all the resources after the upgrade?

When I look in the logs the only thing that stands out is 38 instances in rapid succession of this error:

[0x74B1:11:0x0008]: async_initialize: all attempts have failed: [DeliveryError('Failed to deliver packet: <TXStatus.NWK_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_FAILED: 208>'), DeliveryError('Failed to deliver packet: <TXStatus.NWK_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_FAILED: 208>'), DeliveryError('Failed to deliver packet: <TXStatus.NWK_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_FAILED: 208>'), DeliveryError('Failed to deliver packet: <TXStatus.NWK_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_FAILED: 208>')]

Just noticed I wasn't getting updates from my ecobee in HA -- Rebooted, and now it is failing to set up the integration. Just wondering if others are seeing similar before I go to the trouble of removing it all and adding it back (and hoping it doesn't duplicate entities).

I'm looking to buy a second air purifier and would like to stick with winix + Ha. Looks like 2 of the 3 units listed on the GitHub page are no longer in production. The remaining 3rd unit is $220, maybe a little pricier than what I need (I'm aware there's 30% off sale on winix.com right now).

Also noting the winix integration works great with my C545 (no longer being sold).

A heads up if you've been waiting for nest thermostat matter support.

Upgraded to the latest beta and the nest thermostat (2020 model) is integrated and working now.

Humidity sensor unfortunately does not show up (yet?). Also fan only mode does not seem to be available.

Just noticed that my Hive thermostat is showing as UNAVAILABLE in homeassistant.

I tried all the usual things, replaced batteries, deleted & reinstalled the integration but to no avail.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Which one is most supported by home assistant?

Before deciding on what I want to fill my house with - I figured I'd ask if one is better with home assistant than the others.
