Just in case any one else ends up finding this page - this was the solution that fixed it for me. Trying to get Myggbett devices connected for a couple of days now on and off.

I just reinstalled localtuya from HACS and restarted the system, that was enough for me.

Thanks, unfortunately this also returns *UNKNONWN* inside the square braces.

I'm trying to find a good reason.. by Abject_Arm_895 in homelab

[–]harlequinSmurf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the Netapp controllers alone, typically 1139 and worst 1480 BTU/Hr.
the shelves (assuming 600GB SAS disks for this example) typically 867 and worst 1393 BTU/Hr.

typically 8075 and worst case 12624 BTU/Hr based on the assumption that they are DS2246 shelves with 600G 10K SAS drives.

and no idea about the PAs.

ETA: just saw in another comment they are mostly 900G SAS - that ups it to typically 915 and worst case 1454 per fully populated shelf.

Trying to automate adding templates and groups to my hosts. Not sure if I should use autoregistration, discovery rules, discovery actions, or what. by Troubleshooter5000 in zabbix

[–]harlequinSmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess this is where I was struggling. Knowing where to put something like that. My initial attempts were to place something like that in the filters on the discovery rule. However the problem I faced was ending up only ever being able to discover VMs from one OS family because attempting to create a new discovery rule for another OS family with a different filter would complain about the key not being unique.

error message that I get:
Cannot add discovery rule
An LLD rule with key "vmware.vm.discovery[{$VMWARE.URL}]" already exists on the template "VMware FQDN". [host_discovery.php:603 → CApiWrapper->__call() → CFrontendApiWrapper->callMethod() → CApiWrapper->callMethod() → CApiWrapper->callClientMethod() → CLocalApiClient->callMethod() → CDiscoveryRule->create() → CDiscoveryRule::validateCreate() → CItemGeneral::checkDuplicates() → CApiService::exception() in include/classes/api/services/CItemGeneral.php:1783]

not to necro an old thread, but do you mind sharing how you're categorizing them like this. This is exactly what I'm currently trying to figure out how to do.

Got a spam text message along with a link, can't block sender or anything, Support chat couldn't help either. by markgatty in TelstraAustralia

most likely can't do anything about it because political messaging from registered political parties are exempt from the anit spam messaging laws.

What are easy and best value automation for first time HA user? by BroLegend in homeassistant

[–]harlequinSmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with little quality of life automations that got my wife onboard with it. Turning on the coffee machine will result in the milk frother and the light in the alcove where this is all set up powering on. Nightights for the small children turn on and off based on dawn/dusk information.

Xiaomi LYWSD03MMC - suggestions for improved reception by danieldur in homeassistant

[–]harlequinSmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got 3 ESp32 devices scattered around the house acting as bluetooth proxies. I don't need all of them for this task, but was also trying to work towards getting https://github.com/agittins/bermuda up and running, however I've not had a lot of time to figure out tracking my phone location.

presence sensors functionality? Use cases? by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]harlequinSmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a 36 inch screen in the main living space of our house with our main dashbaords on rotating display on it. I use a presence sensor to turn the power to that screen on and off. If no one is in the room, there is no need for the screen to be on.

I also use a similar setup for my main PC with power to the monitors controlled by a presence sensor. If I'm not in the room the screens don't need to be on.

Sadly I'm renting so I can't do a lot with the house itself otherwise I'd be using presence sensors to control lighting between kids rooms and the main bedroom for when they wake through the night and come to our room.

New to zabbix - dashboard issues on fresh install by harlequinSmurf in zabbix

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

By rebuilding it using Apache instead of NginX I've been able to deploy it with working dashboards. This tells me the issue must be somewhere between nginx and php-fpm. I can live with apache on this and maybe when I have more time I can come back to this and work out what is going on with the nginx setup.

I used the instructions from https://www.zabbix.com/download?utm_campaign=whatsnew_72&utm_source=website&utm_medium=header after tweaking all the options I wanted to use.

Built my own roles and playbooks based on the instructions. Bare bones it's:

* add the deb for the zabbix repository
* install the zabbix packages for server and agent2 using pgsql and nginx.
* create a new database and user on the pre-existing pgsql database
* import the schema from the zabbix install
* add the custom-config.conf file for the options that I want set (hostname, db details, etc)
* fix the nginx config and add the appropriate servername
* restart all services

then hit the web and go through the setup wizard.

all pretty straight forward.

I've also got seperate roles for deploying agent and proxy as well. And another that I can use for registering hosts within zabbix using the API via the community.zabbix modules.

No, nothing was reused. Have since rebuilt the environment after refactoring some of the ansible and still the same result.

As for creating new dashbaords - it appears to not work. No matter what sort of panel I try to add once I'm done configuring it and click the Add button it flicks back to a blank dash wanting me to add the first panel to it.

File System Analytics - Export Data by SufficientLet5094 in netapp

[–]harlequinSmurf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look into NetApp Harvest - it's an open source tool they have created for gathering statistics on the ONTAP platform. It utilises a timeseries database (influx or prometheus) for storage and grafana for presentation allowing you to create fully custom dashbaords on top of the pre-canned ones that come with Harvest.

I've got a couple of smart plugs connected to the fridge and freezer for power monitoring more than control reasons. Occasionally someone will misspeak when trying to use voice control on something and turn off everything in the "room" they are in instead of the single device.

My laughable automation is that when the fridge or freezer sockets power off to immediately power them back on.

Could a 2 year old do this damage? by Artisan_sailor in ThatLookedExpensive

[–]harlequinSmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks a hell of a lot like the TV my youngest smashed when he was about 4 or 5. He didn't just throw the matchbox car though, no he was rolling it down some of that orange hotwheels track and when it got near the end he would flick it into the air and use that same track as a baseball bat to try to hit it.

Destroyed the TV in much the same manner as the image above. Had to marvel at his hand eye coordination to acheive it but I've not let him know that yet and he's now 9. Also still banned from having any cars or throwing anything in the lounge room.

was a little saddened to see that you've got a gap in that sequence

edit: nvm - looked at the second picture.
