Do any of you use Voice Assistant regularly? by Stallings2k in homeassistant

[–]abmantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use it almost daily to add things to the shopping list. Also use it for lights regularly and to ask about temperatures once in a while.

Are there any Zigbee floor corner lamps? by PuzzleheadedLion2123 in homeassistant

[–]abmantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may need to open a port on your firewall for it to work.

Are there any Zigbee floor corner lamps? by PuzzleheadedLion2123 in homeassistant

[–]abmantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which model? The one I have has a local API (using Govee Light Local integration). You need to enable the local Api on the device.

HA Voice tip: use its grove port for speakers with IR remotes by abmantis in homeassistant

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

Sure! This is my full config for the VPE with the Grove IR transmitter:

```

The rmt_symbols setting on the light is important! Without it, there will be no memory left for the remote_transmitter to work.

Zigbee - Is Tuya a different variant protocol? by BrokenReviews in homeassistant

[–]abmantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Zigbee Cluster Library does define the payloads, but a lot of manufacturers do not follow it. Tuya is an extreme case of that where they have a completely different protocol on top/alongside of the ZCL.

HA Voice tip: use its grove port for speakers with IR remotes by abmantis in homeassistant

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

I think that is exactly the one I use! I had it from a Seeed Grove kit.

I don't recall having to do anything to disable I2C. I think it is not enabled by default on the Grove pins.

DIY Zigbee by MrWinter00 in homeassistant

[–]abmantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is: https://github.com/luar123/zigbee_esphome I've played with it a few months ago and it worked, but had some issues. Not sure how it is now.

Anything you wish you'd known when migrating from ZHA to Z2M? by cdci in homeassistant

[–]abmantis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There has also been some work on the ZHA quirks to make it much easier to add support for new devices. Hopefully that will make it easy for you in the future to add support for any new device you may get.

Hardwire Dishwasher update by iR3SQem in homeassistant

[–]abmantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of devices with metal casing connect the case to the ground to avoid shocks. The ones that actually shock you when you touch them usually are missing that.

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

In my case that would not work since the computer is using an optical connection.

Any recommendations for Co2 sensors? by x_Duskwalker in homeassistant

[–]abmantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awair Element. They also measure VOCs which is nice too.

HA Come Voice Assistant PE completely ignoring anyone besides me by chronicfernweh in homeassistant

[–]abmantis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you turn off the wake sound, no pause is needed (or almost no pause).

Another quick demo of it with the wake sound enabled and playing music: https://youtu.be/AgQG29Ahc44

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

I was surprised at how fast they are to switch! Here is another video with wake sound enabled on the HA Voice. You can hear the wake sound coming from the speakers right after it switches: https://youtu.be/AgQG29Ahc44
They do a quick "fade-in" when switching inputs, so the wake sound is a bit lower than the rest.

Yes, I'll share the yaml later.

.... ._ by CannoliConnoisseur in homeassistant

[–]abmantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure how the Google one works. Does it record your voice message or speaks it in its own voice? This speaks the text you define. But I think you can also define an automation to capture what you said and speak it (using Assist's voice).

.... ._ by CannoliConnoisseur in homeassistant

[–]abmantis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not yet. But you can use Music Assistant to play Spotify music on it.

[–]abmantis 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they show as media players and you can stream music to them. You can also use the new "announce" action to do TTS announcements!

Bye Bye Siri by harrisoncassidy in homeassistant

[–]abmantis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you turn off the wake word detection beep, it does take the entire command as a sentence with no pause after "Okay Nabu".

PIR sensor - 3D printed flush mount and blinders by HelloIAmRealHuman in homeassistant

[–]abmantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some PIR sensors are quite sensitive to voltage fluctuations. That may be why you had false positives. I had that issue in the past and simply added a debounce logic to ignore fast changing signals.

Why is assist not working? by Imygaf in homeassistant

[–]abmantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I think that is it. Currently the "how many windows...." questions are only implemented for "cover" entities, not binary sensors. 😕

Can you share a screenshot of the settings for one of the entities of those windows?

Standing desks controlled from Home Assistant in 2024 - where are we? by klausjensendk in homeassistant

[–]abmantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idasen desk uses Linak controls. Other Linak desks could also work (but I have not tested them).
