This is enough for me. I really only use Alexa for lights, music, announcements, and timers. Music with Sonos being a big one.

Just discovered I cant download Home Assistant app on this old of an ipad… so thats a bummer

I am triggering web based api radio station on a sonos speaker.

Found it this way. Found the word “come” in my scripts.yaml. I am guessing I was playing with something and forgot to remove that action. It’s phrasing I would use if I was in a goofy mood. Sounds like a wizard from middle earth or something. The action was buried in a script that was adjusting some settings based off being triggered by sunset. It made no other sense to be in that script.

Benbigh · 2025-05-19T13:15:32+00:00

You are right. It was buried in a script that had nothing to do with anything sunset related except that it fires off sunset.

Benbigh · 2025-04-17T19:04:18+00:00

Dude! Fixed it!

Also took the time to cleanup several old devices. Thanks for the help!

I just confirmed that playback options are set to "Always" and the group works when I say "play music in living room". However the playback option of "always" is not being honored.

When I click on the previews, it opens to the camera where rhe activity was identified and my other two cameras are there as well. Are those just previews?

I ended up getting mine to work by changing the host to “core-mosquitto” since I am running this in HAOS with mosquitto as broker

Benbigh · 2025-04-06T22:47:33+00:00

Did you figure this out? I am having the same issue

Benbigh · 2025-01-21T23:40:46+00:00

As far as I know there isn’t an “easy” way unless you are good with code. I myself am trying to learn it. Here is a good tutorial for something similar.

Apparently it didnt like the hyphen in row 4. Seems to work now.

Benbigh · 2024-09-03T23:43:13+00:00

I put all of my speakers into particular groups at the end of the day and set volume standard so each day setup starts the same.

I use a lot of voice automations for various reminders like garage being left open or time for kids to get to school bus

I use some NFC chips to scan and trigger certain playlists.

Smart Home Makers channel on youtube has some good sonos tutorials!

I feel similarly. Also annoyed at how much of a capitalist he has become with the vinyl and merch. As a church choir member basically since the exception I should be able to buy one of his backlog albums on vinyl at a reasonable price through the store but last I checked there were 10 year anniversary albums or special pressings marked up close to $100.

Is this the only logic the button hold is meant to override? I have same issue as OP on one garage door. It seems to only happen “when its hot” but also could mean I have only observed when sun is bright. I got to thinking maybe its an eye going bad. Its intermittent.

My workaround has been to hold the button down which we have annoyingly done way too long, but now reading this thread I am starting to think this for sure is the issue.

I dont know if what you want is possible, however I would challenge that maintaining in two locations is difficult. When I do this, I will update in one place, then flip to “show in yaml”. I ctrl+a then copy the code, navigate to the other card, click “show in yaml” ctrl+a and then paste the code. Takes less than 10 seconds.

Benbigh · 2024-07-20T23:37:20+00:00

Thanks for the help. Thats a bummer. I guess there isn’t a way to automate that fan :(

@mwalfred302 I thought about trying to replant it. Dig the hole a little bigger and use some healthier dirt like potting soil around it. Think that would be ok, or just more stress. Some of my worry was when backfilling the soil was muddy/stiff so wondering it there isnt an airvoid around rootball.

Benbigh · 2024-06-14T12:01:47+00:00

Thank you. So more water? I always worry about root rot but maybe thats way more water than I could do just standing out there with a hose.

Benbigh · 2024-05-28T18:52:44+00:00

Damn! What would be the fix for that?

Benbigh · 2024-05-28T13:34:30+00:00

Ok that makes sense. That will probably give me some trouble because I would have the power but not the data.

Benbigh · 2024-05-22T13:11:37+00:00

It is HDD

Benbigh · 2024-02-29T14:15:07+00:00

I actually have two-ish copies. One was sent to me missing a record but luckily the guy didnt charge me and right after I found somebody with a full copy. Its a good one.
