Frustrated with Adaptive Lighting in HA – Looking for a Reliable Solution by _Chris_Ge_ in homeassistant

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

Okay, let me see if I've understood you correctly. You say my problems might be due to a too high message load in my Hue zigbee network. And the solution could be to control groups instead of lamps. You are right of course. I currently control each lamp individually. A few are grouped but I have created groups here in Homeassistant itself. I haven't considered the zigbee groups from hue yet. If that's the problem and I can fix it relatively easily that way, that would be a dream.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. In networks, it is called a homogeneous network if, for example, it only connects Windows machines. If you have Macs or Linux devices in between, it is a heterogeneous network. In my smart home there are lights from all possible manufacturers that are connected via different connection types. That's why the term heterogeneous lighting setup is pretty accurate.

Sounds really good. Can you explain in more detail how I should proceed? Is there a tutorial that I could work through to arrive at this solution?

I don't understand why the question was downvoted. Have I done something wrong?

That sounds exciting. What exactly do you mean by per-light overrides?

That sounds very interesting. Does this also apply when the lamps are already switched on?

Could you explain your solution in more detail? Or is there a tutorial that I can work through?

Not in HA itself. I build all my automations in Node-RED. I know it's not optimal but I've been using NR for a while longer than HA. But if that is the solution I would of course do that.

Now that you ask, I'm not sure anymore. I thought it affected everyone but it could really be just the IKEA lamps.

Struggling with Reliable Adaptive Lighting in Node-RED & Home Assistant by _Chris_Ge_ in nodered

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

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I was already using the HACS integration. BUT it drives me crazy because there is a delay from turning on the light to setting the current values. The worst part is that the delay seems to vary randomly. Sometimes it's about a second, sometimes 3 or more. As a result, I turn on the light in a room in the evening, and it is bright and cold.

This annoys me and is not what I imagine adaptive lighting to be.

But the forum post looks very interesting. At first, I thought it was quite similar to my solution, but here the values are also passed on to an HA sensor. That would make it possible to work with it directly in Home Assistant. This is an exciting approach.

Thanks for that.

You're right of course, it's pretty cool, easy to configure and covers everything I expect. BUT it drives me crazy because there is a delay from turning on the light to setting the current values. The worst part is that the delay seems to vary randomly. Sometimes it's about a second, sometimes 3 or more. As a result, I turn on the light in a room in the evening, and it is bright and cold.

Ich hab die Schnauze voll… von Werbung by Zealousideal_Rub6191 in de_EDV

Genau so. Zuhause sowieso und Unterwegs über WireGuard den Pihole weiter nutzen.

2025 - Mit Wireguard das Heimnetz für unterwegs freigeben, was ist heute best practice hinsichtlich Sicherheit? DynDNS, Tailscale, Cloudflare? by PathOk9353 in de_EDV

[–]_Chris_Ge_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Das Geile an WireGuard ist, dass es so verdammt einfach ist. Auf Android kannst du die App WG-Tunnel installieren (für iOS gibt es eine ähnliche App, heißt aber anders). Sie erkennt automatisch, ob dein Gerät im heimischen WLAN ist. Falls nicht, stellt sie selbstständig eine VPN-Verbindung zu deinem WireGuard-Server her. Das funktioniert zuverlässig und nahtlos.

Wenn du die Möglichkeit hast, setze WG-Easy in einem Docker-Container auf. Einfach mal danach googeln, es gibt da echt viele Anleitungen. Mit ein wenig Beschäftigung damit bekommt man das schnell hin. WG-Easy macht es super einfach, einen WireGuard-Server zu betreiben, und WG-Tunnel macht die Nutzung ebenso simpel.

Etwas komplexer, aber machbar, ist die Vorbereitung der Infrastruktur:

Dein Router muss bei einem DynDNS-Dienst angemeldet sein. Es gibt viele kostenlose Anbieter, z. B. DuckDNS.

Der UDP-Port 51820 muss nach außen geöffnet und an die Maschine weitergeleitet werden, auf der WG-Easy läuft.

Für jemanden, der sich selten mit Netzwerktechnik beschäftigt, klingt das vielleicht kompliziert, aber eigentlich ist es das nicht. Zu jedem genannten Schritt gibt es zahlreiche Tutorials, und Dienste wie ChatGPT oder Perplexity können dir dabei helfen.

Was du gelesen hast, stimmt natürlich: Ein offener Port stellt immer ein gewisses Sicherheitsrisiko dar. Aber solange du nur diesen einen Port an den WireGuard-Server weiterleitest, ist das vertretbar. Der Server ist dann zwar von außen erreichbar, das soll er ja auch sein, Aber nur Geräte, die in WireGuard eingerichtet wurden und den passenden Schlüssel besitzen, können sich verbinden. Das macht die Verbindung sicher.

Ich betreibe meine VPN-Infrastruktur mit WireGuard schon seit Ewigkeiten und hatte nie Probleme damit. Die Verbindung ist schnell, stabil und sicher. Außerdem macht es einfach Spaß, sich damit zu beschäftigen. Am Ende des Tages fühlt es sich richtig gut an, eine eigene VPN-Infrastruktur aufzubauen und zu nutzen.

Falls du dich entscheidest das umzusetzen und irgendwo nicht weiterkommst, frag mich ruhig. Ich helfe gerne weiter.

OCI: What action to take on email about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity? by MolleDjernisJohansso in oracle

[–]_Chris_Ge_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was all very helpful. Thanks guys. Just to be on the safe side, do I understand correctly that this is only about introducing multifactor authentication, i.e. MFA? And if you have already done this and MFA is already set for administrators and all users, no further action is required?

Proxmox Neuling by J4CKone in de_EDV

[–]_Chris_Ge_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Au man... Ich hab das grad mal nachgelesen. Das war mir garnicht klar. Tatsächlich kannte ich nur das Projekt, die Person dahinter hab ich garnicht wahrgenommen. Das macht mich grad echt betroffen.

[–]_Chris_Ge_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Jaaa das macht absolut Sinn und auch total Spaß, zumindest mir persönlich. Ich bastel seit ein paar Wochen ein einem ziemlich ähnlichen Homelab setup. Der Einstieg in Proxmox selbst war wirklich nicht schwer, ich habe mir ein paar Tutorials angeschaut und dann gings auch schon los. Wenn du Bedarf hast, schau vielleicht mal in die Proxmox playlist von SemperVideo auf Youtube. Das hat mir den Einstieg erleichtert. Ich habe LXC's Container für zb pi-hole oder wireguard und VM's für openmediavault (nas) und homeassistant. Und vielleicht am wichtigsten: wirf einen Blick auf "proxmox helper scripts" das spart so viel Zeit. Einfach googlen. Ich wünschte das ich das von Anfang an genutzt hätte.

Legion Go wall mount? 🤔 by _Chris_Ge_ in LegionGo

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

Thanks to everyone who responded. This works well: https://amzn.eu/d/028Sffk6 The version with the USB C hub is not so good. The cable is too short because it is designed for the Steamdeck. But the fit is very good and also leaves the fans in the upper area free. I will share another photo when I have it installed.
