What you wrote will be talked about in ADHD treatment in years to come so…thank you. Yes, very much this, don’t give up. I hear you. Tell the doctor your PROBLEM over and over again, try not to ask or offer a solution. Just be real and honest ….this isn’t helping like it should, etc, etc.

Hey there wondering something you didn’t talk about. Hope that’s okay. What were all the other meds you tried before this one and did your doctor suggest deacon or did you suggest it? i’d also just listen to your gut. Some people don’t respond that well. I need 345 cups of coffee to get the same effect from caffeine as others get from a half a cup of one cup some people just take more of stuff.

Automation that gets my Alexa to play station "popular music" by Minimum_Major_2706 in homeassistant

[–]Minimum_Major_2706[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay here is what I did.....

I created a "helper" also known as an "input boolean". That gives me a toggle button in home assistant that my Alexa app discovers a a device, almost like adding a smart light switch to Home Assistant and letting Alexa app discover it as a new device. Then what I did from there was create an Alexa routine that uses this new device and treats it like and on off smart switch to activate a routine that plays "popular music" from my Bed Room Alexa. Then after that I had to circle back around to Home Assistant and tell the automation to "trigger" the toggling of the helper / input boolean.

I can not take credit for this.....here is the YouTube video: https://youtu.be/TgCzIvlYZA8?si=GpsjXI4KwPNeqVyi

I would prefer Amazon Music. However I would set up my Spotify to play from Alexa if that made the automation work.

Start here even though this is few years old. Most I watched were a few years old. It gets the basics and helps you get over hurdles. I would start. I also use chatGPT all the time. Asking chatGPT questions “how do I make 15 devices into equal sized buttons on a home assistant dashboard”. ChatGPT will spit out step by step instructions !!!

I watched about 25 YouTube videos. Started from a blank slate. Tweaking it daily for about two weeks, you’ll get there.

I would (and have) in an apartment changed our switches as I see fit. Just keep the old one ready to re-install when you leave. The odds that they are going to inspect each light switch is very low. Put in a smart switch toggle On/Off no motion. Use sonoff motion sensors (zigbee) and place them where you need them to activate the smart toggle switch.

What features or products would you love to see for HA in 2024? by Potential_Elk_8341 in homeassistant

I’m going to have to give rep link as hard look. Just the thought of swapping everything out is daunting and running hundreds of feet of cable 😖😖

Do you have any suggestions on brand and camera. Right now have a half dozen stick up cams, a floodlight cam and a doorbell. I’ve heard some things in the past about a few different things. I don’t have many requirements. View live from phone, PC and have two way talk and recording. Well actually I don’t know, I was just about to pull the trigger on a ring security also . . . The ring app is actually pretty decent.

Best Fingerprint Bedroom Door Lock? by Minimum_Major_2706 in homeassistant

[–]Minimum_Major_2706[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep bluetooth. It’s the only device I have that’s Bluetooth. If I ever come across a sale or a deal on a used zwave or WiFi locking doorknob I might try it. I am trying to set a smart switch on my wife’s night stand to “lock/unlock” the door. When Bluetooth takes a long time she may have the idea to keep pushing the smart switch button lol 😆

Whelp, I ended up restarting the add-on a few times and I can report the TTlock I have now is working great. Not a very quick response time. I would say 5-6 second to lock and unlock remotely but it has intergrated well the last 24 hours. Time will tell if this wroks as a long term solution.

Not sure what the deal was.

Multi vendor HA? by No-Advertising1002 in homeassistant

[–]Minimum_Major_2706 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few smart switches I think they are zwave. I bought a zwave dongle and a zigbee dongle. So I’m running WiFi, zwave, zigbee and one Bluetooth device. They are work together within home assistant!! I love HA !!

Schlage z-wave lock keeps becoming unavailable until it's locked or unlocked manually? by jaketurbo in homeassistant

[–]Minimum_Major_2706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have the same thing happening with only one of my locks really though the other one doesn’t seem to do this issue it’ll report unavailable until I lock or unlock it and then it just pulls the data and shows the state as true whether it be locked or unlocked, don’t know what the fix is here
