Need help converting dumb switches; one w/o any lights, one w/ Hue bulbs
  • @semperverus
    In European countries you only have live wire, never the ground, neutral in newer installations.
    The switches don’t need ground as there is no exposed metallic component. Ground is needed where a human could be exposed to live (due to a fault) as it would trigger the breaker.

  • Share your favorite automations
  • @Passerby6497
    Shelly Pro 1PM that I had lying around. Reports Amps usage fast enough to allow me to cut off electrical heating before the breaker cuts off because of overload.
    This results in washer and heating alternating their power usage without triggering the breaker.
    Home assistant OS on Raspberry Pi 4.

  • Resetting Timers
  • @sabreW4K3
    Create a timer that you set to 5 minutes.
    Create an automation with 3 triggers:

    1. Motion is detected
    2. Motion clear
    3. Timer changes to idle

    Choice of three actions:

    When 1:
    Switch light on
    Cancel timer (this takes care of motion being detected again during the 5 minute delay)

    When 2:
    Start timer (And let’s wait for 5. Minutes for timer to end)

    When 3:
    Check that motion is clear (as motion also cancels the timer)
    If so, switch light off

  • How do you organize your HA devices
  • @barbarosa
    For all those sensors (temp, current etc.) I always prefix the entity ID and friendly name with the area name.
    I create areas like “kitchen fridge” or “garage fridge” to keep my stuff organized.
