A bit of a frustrating day trying to get my ESP32 Atom Echo working with Home Assistant.
  • @spitfire @[email protected] @[email protected] @homeassistantinpills @[email protected] I have been using Home Assistant for about a year and never used ESPHome before. I am not sure what I am missing out on. I can controller my batteries and inverter without it.

    Saying that, always happy to have something else to play with 😀

  • A bit of a frustrating day trying to get my ESP32 Atom Echo working with Home Assistant.
  • @spitfire @[email protected] @[email protected] @homeassistantinpills @[email protected] The bit that confuses me is, I can flash it fine, but it won’t appear in Home Assistant at that point. I can add it via ESPHome and I assume it join the wifi, but then how do I get voice on it.

  • @spitfire @[email protected] @[email protected] @homeassistantinpills @[email protected] Thanks for replying. I am not sure how to do that, but I think I will wait. This seems to be a known issue at the moment. An issue has been raised on GitHub.

    I used this page to flash it, it seems to work, but when it get to the wifi page it just spins looking for a network.

    https://esphome.io/projects/index.html

    Any ideas what I can do? I can add it via ESPHome, but I assume that I assume that has wipes the Voice Control firmware.

    Matter 1.3 is here to help get your smart home energy usage under control
  • @c10l @homeassistant These have been rock solid for me. I am not sure how to see the energy being used.

  • I have a template sensor for calculating daily electricity costs. It uses this sensor - sensor.electricity_import_daily_cost

    I wrote about it here.

    https://www.bazmac.me/blog/home-assistant-dashboard-card-daily-energy-cost

    As you can see I set it to max which makes some sense. The problem is when prices go negative it won’t go down. I took the max off, but it still won’t go down. What have I missed?

    Does anyone know how to add this Dashboard from the ESPAltherma page to Home Assistant? If not, has anyone other examples.
  • @Stephencrown @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I am on that threat 😀. Post 116. I have being working with M5 Tough. I am interesting in the Dashboard that is shown on the ESPAltherma page.

    I started to build my Mum’s Home Assistant server yesterday. She didn’t know she needed one 😀.

    I started to build my Mum’s Home Assistant server yesterday. She didn’t know she needed one 😀.

    While looking into having two Home Assistant servers on the same network while I built it, I found this. Linking two Home Assistant servers together in two locations.

    Has anyone used #RemoteHomeAssistant. Any security or other feedback?

    I have been playing with #HomeAssistant dashboards yet again. I find them fascinating.
  • YAML for one of these cards

    type: custom:apexcharts-card
    header:
    show: true
    title: Front Watts
    show_states: true
    colorize_states: true
    chart_type: radialBar
    apex_config:
    chart:

    series:

    max: 3200
    - entity: sensor.maximum_incoming_watts_front

    I asked earlier is there was a way for a card to show live and maximum values at the same time. I want to see my #SolarPV watts compared to the max for the year. I came up with the below. I just with I could make that header a bit smaller. I will put the YAML in the next post in this thread 1/2

    Just added a very simple entity card in #HomeAssistant. Nothing special in that, but it was so nice to just pop it in the place I wanted using sections.

I would like it to show the live value and then a line or a shaded area for the maximum. Does anyone know how to do this. This of course could be the wrong card type to achieve this

    Started to play with Sections in Home Assistant and I love it. Thanks to @madelena and the team at @[email protected] for this release. Some examples. Please read the alt text. The MacBook Air version would still have room for a 4th column, but it seems I am limited to three. Hopefully that can change or I am wrong.

    I believe this is just the start. I can't wait for the next released. I have always found dashboard very frustrating.

    Yesterday I updated Home Assistant to 2024.2.1 and it stopped sending data to PVOutput. Has anyone else seen this?

    I finally got a chance to test again.I turned off all the 3rd party plugins and found it was this one. Someone has reported a similar issue. I can live without this plugin, but it was nice to have.

    If I rename the workspace.json I can stop the hang without having to resync the whole vault. Just an FYI if others ever need to get out of a similar issue.

    I have a strange #EveEnergy plug issue. I have two of them, both upgraded to Matter. Both of them were added natively to #HomeAssistant.

    They will randomly be unavailable, but not at the same time. Sometimes they will be unavailable at the same time and restarting my HomePod Mini stereo pair will bring them back. The bit I don’t understand is why one can be responsive and they other is not. Any thoughts?
