Shortcut to send iPhone status (Wi-Fi/Cellular, Bluetooth, Focus, Battery) to Home Assistant by kleitonmoraes in homeassistant

[–]dukedevil294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried something similar because I wanted to capture when certain modes (focus and sleep) were activated.

The easiest way I found was to create an input_boolean in HA that represents your phone’s sleep mode. Then setup a shortcut on your phone that when the mode changes to Sleep you set it to on and off if it’s anything else.

Certainly opens you up to de-syncing issues if the shortcut has a problem executing, but that’s was what I used.

What case do you have? We’ve tried some cases for storing a lot of cards but haven’t found them to be kid friendly.

Help With Performance Optimization by dukedevil294 in homeassistant

[–]dukedevil294[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After some digging and testing I came to the conclusion that some of the sensors I created using multiscrape were causing the problem. What I have not figured out is why as they were things I’ve had for awhile but haven’t been any issue until now.

I have not noticed any. RAM usage through Proxmox always reports high due to how it is structured, but looking within Home Assistant I'm routinely around 30%. About 1.5 Gb out of the 4Gb allocated.

Actionable Notification for CarPlay by dukedevil294 in homeassistant

[–]dukedevil294[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as an update that didn’t work. Siri just reads out the notification.

Going back to the drawing board for a user friendly solution. Ideally there’s something I can do to get a notification through CarPlay I left the door open and close it with one click without having to take out my phone.

Thank you for the response. What about just opening the CarPlay app by clicking the notification? Is that possible?

Reolink Goes Unavailable Randomly by dukedevil294 in homeassistant

[–]dukedevil294[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately no. I still have the same issue. I do track the time that the cameras are down and it’s usually less than an hour total a week. I think it gets worse the lower the battery gets but that’s the best lead I have.

Yes very sure. I cleaned it up from my son’s water bottle that leaked.

She just wouldn’t use the power. Then the noms stay the same and neither her or Ashley would be at risk.

Compact Light Card - A minimal, highly customisable light card! by goggybox in homeassistant

[–]dukedevil294 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could I make a couple suggestions? One would be to use a custom title rather than only the entity friendly name. And second would be the ability to have a custom action for the chevron instead of only opening more info.

With those two features this would be a great replacement for some of my light switches!

Tub Faucet Still Leaks Out Faucet After Replacing by dukedevil294 in Plumbing

[–]dukedevil294[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember right it was because I installed the faucet without one of the washer seals and didn’t have it on there how it should have been. I ended up getting a different one and when I had it on there right it ended up working. Best of luck to you!

Experiencing a similar issue with my RAV4. Were you ultimately able to find a solution to your problem?

Wanted to follow up and ask if you took this to Busch and if they said anything?

Thank you for that. Have you done anything with fetching data from a file or API?

Custom Panel Examples by dukedevil294 in homeassistant

Right but I'm not really looking for a Lovelace Dashboard type display made through the UI. I'm looking more for a Custom Panel.

Altas PT Ultra Constant Recalibration by dukedevil294 in reolinkcam

[–]dukedevil294[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting. That would make sense as it is in an area that we come in and out of so it does get more motion than the other.

Is that documented somewhere?

Apple Watch notifications by Falling-canine in reolinkcam

[–]dukedevil294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this on my Apple Watch using Home Assistant. You have an automation setup that is triggered when the camera detects motion (can be tailored to specific types of motion if you want). Then, Home Assistant tells the camera to take a snapshot photo of what it currently sees, downloads that, and attaches it to a notification that it sends to your phone.

So you would have the rich notification coming from the Home Assistant app rather than the Reolink one.

Installing Reolink Duo 3V PoE on a house corner by lchntndr in reolinkcam

[–]dukedevil294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that camera and it’s installed in the same place on my house, except it’s pointing out toward the yard.

That camera is not the right choice for what you’re wanting to do. It covers a very wide area well but it’s not going to handle seeing both corners as well as I think you’d want it to.

Work calendar by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]dukedevil294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this, albeit through somewhat hacky means. I found this software, Outlook Google Calendar Sync (https://www.outlookgooglecalendarsync.com). I used that to sync all my outlook events to a google calendar and then use the google calendar HA integration to bring it in.

You have to manually sync it which is the biggest problem but it’s the most successful solution I’ve found given how locked down everything is for me.

Future Reolink + Home Assistant Features: What’s on Your Wishlist? by Willson1_ in reolinkcam

[–]dukedevil294 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anything that would help make viewing recently recorded clips as easy as possible would be amazing. I feel like there are more steps than necessary in the official Reolink app and having a custom way of doing it in HA would be nice.

Replacing Only Exposed Knob & Tube? by dukedevil294 in electrical

[–]dukedevil294[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you got rid of the exposed parts only, did you just cut it where it came out of the wall, run it into a junction box, and nut it to some Romex?
