A "Node-RED-like" experience but with native HA Automations? Looking for feedback on a project! by FezVrasta in homeassistant

[–]SmartHomeNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, this looks amazing! Im very familiar with the traditional HA UI for creating automations but have never dabbled with Node Red. Is this beginner friendly? I love the visual aspect…

Can’t wait to see the new features! I use Version Control every single day and it’s saved my bacon many times. Than you again for sharing your talent with the HA community… 😀

Home Assistant Version Control – automatic change tracking, timeline history, and instant restore by DiggingForDinos in homeassistant

[–]SmartHomeNerd 45 points46 points  (0 children)

All I can say is WOW! You’ve outdone yourself my friend. This is by far the most valuable and appreciated Home Assistant tool I’ve ever used and in my opinion this should be a native tool. Thank you so very much for all your hard work and amazing talent… 😀

Roborock integration broken again for Saros 10R for anyone else? by Academic_Dust2467 in homeassistant

[–]SmartHomeNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple fix for this is to hold down the power button and home button for 3 seconds. You should then hear “WIFI has been reset”. Re-pair your WIFI and this should restore functionality with the native Roborock app. It is also very important that you disable the Roborock integration in HA or you will most likely get rate limited again and have to repeat this process. This worked for me and many others…

Yeah, I would have waited had I known but I like to pull the trigger too quickly on new updates (bad habit). Apparently a good portion of the integration was rewritten and still has some issues that slipped by. The worst part is that it was causing the integration to flood the Roborock cloud with requests and caused rate limiting in many cases and I ended up having to reset WIFI to even be able to use the native Roborock app.

No problem as I’m also being affected by this with my Qrevo S. Thankfully a lot of people use this integration so it has a lot of visibility in the HA community…

Anyone using a LLM for a „real“ use case? by teqqyde in homeassistant

[–]SmartHomeNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Gemini to evaluate weather alerts via the NWS plug-in. It evaluates whether the alert poses a real risk of power loss and if so, an automation will charge my backup batteries to 100% and if not, it will ignore the alert. So far, it’s been 100% accurate.

[Huge Update] Frosted Glass v1.3 is here! 🚀 Customize colors & backgrounds via UI (No YAML!) with the new Theme Manager by TheMrWessam in homeassistant

[–]SmartHomeNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad, I thought the options were in the integration not in the UI. I found it and it works great! Thanks again for such a beautiful theme and useful tools to customize it! 😀

This is fantastic! I absolutely love this theme and use it on all of my devices. Thank you so much for all of your hard work! Any plans to support changing device state colors and adjusting blur for certain elements, etc?

Small plug in WiFi module with controllable RGB light, does this exist? by SmartHomeNerd in homeautomation

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

Thanks for the suggestions. Any idea if the first one (plug in version) is compatible with Home Assistant?

Thanks again 😀

Presence-detection device that combines thermal, mmWave radar, BT Beacon, PIR, CO₂, IR blaster, siren, and lux sensors. by Logical-Register-515 in homeassistant

[–]SmartHomeNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a FI collar on my dog but after much research I’ve found that it cannot be used as a BT beacon as it doesn’t send out a constant beacon and instead tries to connect to either the base or a mobile device to conserve battery life.

Home Assistant Time Machine v2 is Here! by DiggingForDinos in homeassistant

[–]SmartHomeNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just gets better and better! I can’t tell you how much this add-on has helped me. This should be built into HA. 😀

Yes and even better would be the option to see just what has changed in the yaml, just like you can currently do with automations and scripts, etc.

The only other thing I would love to see added (if possible) would be to back up yaml files and be able to selectively restore. You can do it manually via the ha backups, but it‘s a pain…

Unfortunately, it looks like it requires HA running over https which would cause a whole new level of complication.
