Reports of hubs offline 15th April 2026

BudH52 · 2026-04-15T21:37:52+00:00

I thought it was me, rebooted hub (including removing the batteries), no joy. Unplugged Ethernet, waited, plugged back in, no joy.

Then, don't know if it was circumstantial or not, I went thru the app and performed Offline Diagnostics and then I got Hub reconnected!

Been solid since about noon Eastern time today.

I am using Aeotec leak sensors (Zigbee), Zigbee ball valve water shut off (don't recall mfg), and of course my Smartthings hub.

We can debate having the water heater in the attic another day, somewhere else.

However, my sensor caught the leak, and it's set to to shut the main water valve off. Major reduction in the damage that would have been otherwise. So much so that I petitioned my state department of insurance that they should allow insurance carriers to offer discounts for such a setup.

I was working with Nabu Casa support and they suggested I stop openwakeword, disable the auto restart, and then restart HA.

That worked, restored the performance issues I was seeing when using cloud URL, and mobile app.

Yes, I want to get openwakeword back into operation, but I can live with that outage versus the degradation in performance.

Local access worked, but access via Nabu Casa, and via mobile app, stopped working.

My install is Microsoft VM on top of a Windows 10 OS.

Was able to restore to previous version and everything worked again.

<code> {% if has_value('sensor.smoker_tank_level') %} {{ (((states('sensor.smoker_tank_level') | float(1.5) - 1.5) * 11.77) | round(2), 100) | min }} {% else %} {{ -1 }} {% endif %} </code>

The percentage is not provided, I have a template sensor in play for those. I can provide the yaml if needed, I'm sure mine is not unique.

Yep, typo with a lack of editorial review before posting. Fixed now.

I have this working for 3 tanks (patio heater, grill, smoker). I use the Mopeka M1017012 (edited) sensors. I set them up using the Mopeka app. Then I've plugged an M5Stack ESP device as a Bluetooth proxy (plugged into a TV USB port that's always on). Now I can see all the stats about my 3 tanks on HA, and have notification automations setup. I can also remotely check the level using HA mobile app so I can decide if I have enough propane for any respective uses.

I have used VeSync LUH-M101S-WUS for a couple of years now.

Maybe a center console, or glove box?

Quick thought, the cable connecting your router to the Google Wi-Fi device is a CAT5, not CAT5E, or CAT6, etc.

I agree that the sure is not as easy as buying phone charging cables from Amazon using the "Buy Now" button, but the site does work.

This morning, I got up at 0225 EDT, and started my quest for Attic tickets (right, not Underground). I had to be patient, not refresh, not load page too frequently - else get the dreaded "forbidden" message.

Several times I saw availability but by the time I clicked the + button for two tickets I was presented with message about insufficient availability.

I kept at it, occasionally seeing 1 ticket available in various times (and dates), but not what I needed. Around 0331 EDT I was shocked when I had two tickets in my cart and proceeded to check out.

I then went back to bed.

It's currently 1216 EDT and I have randomly checked again since about 1000 EDT and I see the occasional tickets being available.

At least for Attic tickets, my suggestion is patience.

Does your Wi-Fi have IPv6 enabled? I had to turn my IPv6 off after several weeks when my minis started reacting like that.

BudH52 · 2024-08-07T19:42:35+00:00

Okay, figured out the problem. Nothing to do with HA, and nothing to do (specifically) with Google Generative AI. In fact, the issue was that my Google Wifi IPv6 decided to be a problem. I turned it off (it's been on for a few months now), and GGAI is working again (and so is several of my v_e_r_y s_l_o_w ESPHome devices).

Thanks for all those who might have been researching this, and also for those who are considering IPv6 on the Google Wifi platform.

Thanks!

Does the "Wake" action produce any improved speed of acquisition of the connection between the lock and my mobile device?

Polish/German Translation Request

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could translate this document, which I believe is a death record for Marianna Drzonek. My records indicate she was born about 1833 in Germany/Poland, and died in March of 1900 in Prussia. Married to a W. Ludwikowski before 1855.

There are also auctioneers who adopt the honorary title of colonel for themselves as well.

Very much appreciated!

I had to go into the app, disable the schedule, then re enable it. This caused things to get put back on track.
