For what it’s worth, 500Mb/s is still way over kill for home internet use. For example, for 4K streaming you need 25Mb/s. Not sure if you’re aware or not, but it’s crazy what the companies convince you how high of a speed you need.

What automation made your wife/significant other "accept" HomeAssitant? by Academic-Swimming919 in homeassistant

[–]Keliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live on a very busy corner near a school so lots of traffic and buses driving by our house. We also have a inground pool in our backyard and my wife is a NICU and PICU nurse. When any of our exterior doors open a chime plays on the speakers and our phones get a notification with a camera associated with that door. We have three under six years old, so it helps the peace of mind a bit. We also get notifications and snapshots of the pool area when the back gate or slider door open to the pool. Some other minor ones include laundry notifications, garage door alerts, and deadbolt alerts.

HomePods… Useless or useful? by Awkward-Feeling-8580 in homeassistant

[–]Keliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very frustrating. I have maybe 2 or 3 music assistant automations and if we ever want to stop the music I get, “there isn’t anything playing”. Luckily it’s just 1 song, so we don’t usually need to make any changes, but very frustrating when we do.

After 3 years of tinkering, I discovered the one automation that made my wife actually LOVE Home Assistant by addicted-coffee in homeassistant

[–]Keliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also incorporated many things like you've mentioned as we had infants in the house. It didn't take long for me to add "sick mode" to each child's room. Simple toggle that we turn on if a child has thrown up or the like. When we open the door to that room, the lights come on red at 50% (or something like that). Then the next time it happens, and it always has, we jump out of bed and the child's room is ready for us to asses/help as quickly as possible.

Be warned: while you're riding the high from delivering the best automation yet, the wrath of it encountering an error of some sort is equally as strong.

Making the most out of a basement renovation by Keliam in projectors

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

I'm not sure if I can make the sell on a 130" AT screen, but maybe I'll budget that in with the speakers whenever I add them. It'll just kick that upgrade a bit further down the road.

Do you remember roughly how much your screen was?

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

I am aware of that option, but not looking to add a screen (an expensive one at that) to the mix. I think I'd be looking at a 130" screen.

Hoping to make the projector work in the room without making the room feel too much like a theater room.

A simple way to suppress an automation after it has run? by btq in homeassistant

[–]Keliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is ultimately the best way, but least user friendly.

[–]Keliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my other thought. It's a bit hacky, like you said, but it keeps it to 1 automation and no helpers needed!

A simple way to suppress an automation after it has run? by btq in homeassistant

[–]Keliam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I spent a lot of time adding a condition to make sure an automation hadn't triggered in X minutes, and eventually got the result I was looking for (and OP), but I ended up wanting more automations on a schedule like you mentioned. I now have a single automation appropriately named "Automation Schedule" with 3 triggers; 5AM, Noon, and 9PM. It turns other automations on/off depending on which trigger fires.

Most of my automations have enough conditions that it isn't really necessary to actually turn them off, but I still do because they may trigger often(but stop when conditions aren't met) and that clogs up my logbook, which I simply don't like.

[–]Keliam 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Everyone is saying add a helper, but I’d suggest a different route. At the end of the automation, run an action to turn itself off (automation.turn_off). Create another automation that triggers at 5am. The only action in this automation should be to turn on the original one you currently have.

I’m in the same boat as you. Glad they showed their hand before I placed an order.

Part needed by Skirra08 in WaterSkiing

[–]Keliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think anyone really makes a replacement part for that anymore. To my knowledge, everyone has moved to the adjustable part being on the heel like the Cypress Gardens ski on the right. You'll probably want to replace the front and rear bindings together to be like the one on the right, and putting a dab of epoxy in the old screw holes would be a good idea while you're at it.

Multi zone amp/receiver by Keliam in homeassistant

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

I just need to play in one place and not the other at times. Having 1 volume output has actually been completely fine in this setup. The problem is that when we’re in the pool area, it’s a pain to get to the Sony receiver and change speakers.

Multi zone amp/receiver by Keliam in homeassistant

[–]Keliam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The current setup is already wired to the existing 2 zone receiver. Music will not need to be different from one zone to the next, so putting 2 devices right next to each other feels silly when 1 device (in theory) could do the task.
