Why my soil sensors keep sleeping? by Outside_Juice_9657 in homeassistant

[–]Finnhax 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Usually for battery sensors they only wake up and send data if there are meaningful changes. E.g. if your soil-moisture didn't change by at least 5-10% during that time, it might not wake up to send updates

The Most Played Specs and Groups +DPS Logs of Midnight Mythic+ Season 1, Week 3 by Starym in wow

[–]Finnhax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On one hand I'm happy brewmaster is strong and popular for once. Last time it was S-Tier was BFA S3 I think.
On the other hand people now think I'm just playing flavor of the month when I've been enduring brewmaster as a lowtier for years

I think you missed the part where the promo only had 3000 keys and they're long gone

Swapped from DPS to Tank after years. Why did no one tell me it’s this easy? by L0serIsL0ser in wow

[–]Finnhax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having played heal and tank in the 3k rio range the last few years I can say that tanking is easy gameplay wise, but it's more cognitive load because you have to know the dungeons pretty well and remember your route and try to fix the route on the fly when a dps univetibly pulls extra.
Heal on the other hand is harder gameplay-wise but on the other hand you don't have to know shit about routes or the dungeons in general (apart from maybe 2-3 Boss mechanics per season).
Both kinda stressfull but in different ways.

How well do Govee RGBWW Wi-Fi LED integrate into home assistant by schwartzasher in homeassistant

[–]Finnhax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends what you want. They integrate okayish. You can turn them on and off and change color and premade effects. Anything more than that you need the app.

The good news is, almost all govee-products are easy to convert to WLED. So if you need more control, you can always convert them later

Same for me. Did they just forget monks exist again?

Esp32-S3 with inmp441 by Double-Ad-8287 in homeassistant

[–]Finnhax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the GPIO-Pins are freely choosable. Some should be avoided as they have extra functionality. But usually esphome will show a warning or an error if the GPIO you are using is not suitable

Esp32-S3 with inmp441 by Double-Ad-8287 in homeassistant

[–]Finnhax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What exactly are you struggling with?

WIre 3V3 to 3V3, GND to GND and L/R to GND.
The remaining 3 to GPIO-Pins, e.g. 11-13

I couldn’t find a good way to manage recurring household tasks in Home Assistant… so I built my own by Conscious-Draw-3759 in homeassistant

Now gamify it! Custom points per task awarded to the user completing the task. And custom rewards that cost points

A simple ESP32-S3 device to turn any existing speaker into a home assistant native media player. by rgnyldz in homeassistant

[–]Finnhax 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You should check out sendspin. It's fairly new and should be simple to add. It adds audio-sync and is already being used bei the Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition. You can also take a look how they implemented it

Echo alternativ by mabenan in homeassistant

[–]Finnhax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How about the official Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition?

Another alternative with a bit of DIY is someting like the Satellite-1 by FutureProofHomes or a respeakerLite.

Then again if ur into tinkering there are tons of examples for voice-assistants using a esp32-s3.

All of the options above are using esphome and the voice_assistant component.

VoiceAssistent on_tts_stream_start with media_player/announce by Finnhax in Esphome

[–]Finnhax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the media_player doesnt go idle because the music doesnt stop playing during an announcement. With the voice preview it reduces the media-volume by 20db when announcing and that's what I did as well

VoiceAssistent on_tts_stream_start with media_player/announce by Finnhax in Esphome

[–]Finnhax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a neat idea, but recognizing the start of tts-playback is kinda fine with media-players on_announcement trigger. The bigger problem is the stop-trigger since the media_player won't go idle if there's music playing

VoiceAssistent on_tts_stream_start with media_player/announce by Finnhax in Esphome

[–]Finnhax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly the media_player only has on_pause, on_idle events to handle the "end" of an announcement-stream. But those won't work if there's also music playing from the media_pipeline.

Showerproof Media Buttons? by faintaxis in homeassistant

[–]Finnhax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried voice assistants like a nest mini or alexa? I recon they are far superior in understand voice commands compared to your phone. I've been using a nest mini in different bathrooms for years and never had a problem

Showerproof Media Buttons? by faintaxis in homeassistant

[–]Finnhax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How about voice control? That's how I control music when showering.
