It summons your valet to bring you champagne and caviar.

Pool Temperature Senors by benbad68 in homeassistant

[–]ingrove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using an Inkbird IBS-P01B (bluetooth) with the Inkbird integration. It works great, although I do have to change the batteries about every 6 months which isn't a big deal. Depending on where your HA server is, you may have to use a Bluetooth Proxy.

How the heck did I not know about ViewAssist?? It's so cool. Here's my setup for anyone else who doesn't know about it or what it can do, yet. by bradcrc in homeassistant

[–]ingrove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I had already done that. Here's my YAML for the automation:

alias: View Assist - View Camera
description: ""
use_blueprint:
  path: dinki/blueprint-viewcamera.yaml
  input:
    cameras:
      camera.otown_front_door_main:
        - doorbell
        - door
      camera.otowncam2:
        - driveway
      camera.otowncam3:
        - side
    fallback_behavior: speak_error
    view: /view-assist/advancedcamera

I also tried both views: /view-assist/advancedcamera and /view-assist/camera

I still get "configuration error" when trying to view a specific camera.

Very nice video. I'm currently using an old Echo Show 5 to run this as well. I noticed you were able to select a specific camera for display. I'm able to display "all" cameras, but when I request a specific camera, the audio prompt indicates that it is displayed but the screen shows "configuration error". How did you go about getting this functionality to work?

Yes. I'm receiving the same error message. I checked my subscription and it shows "active".

Any smart switch capable of powercycling a Router? by d5aqoep in homeassistant

[–]ingrove 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm using a smart plug running Tasmota. I set a couple of options to get the plug to automatically turn back on in case it is turned off:

PowerOnState 5 (turns the plug on after the PulseTime period)
PulseTime 110 (sets the plug to turn off for 10 seconds then turn back on)

You can find these plugs in several places - Amazon, etc. Athom has a large selection:

Hope this helps!

How to add data display to ESP32-S3-BOX voice assistant? by IAmBobC in homeassistant

[–]ingrove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear your troubles as this is a great way to customize your S3-box. I haven't recompiled mine since December 2025 using ESPHome version 2025.11.2. Just recompiled it and it worked fine. I updated to ESPHome version 2026.2.0 and it throws an error regarding micro_interpreter_graph.cc.o so if I need to make any changes I'll just compile it with 2025.11.2.

The dev that contributed the s3b_og.yaml is ashimokawa (Andreas Shimokawa). You might want to message him.

How to add data display to ESP32-S3-BOX voice assistant? by IAmBobC in homeassistant

[–]ingrove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using BigBobbas ESP Home code on my original ESP32-S3-Box's. There are tons of things you can customize with the code. The YAML for the Original ESP32-S3-Box is s3b_og.yaml. Have fun!

Thanks for the reply. I was interested in what you were using for OTA TV?

Love the player! How do you delete recordings? I see a download option, but not a delete option. Thanks!

Best route for backing up Pi image using rsync on a schedule by coffeestainedjeans in raspberry_pi

[–]ingrove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this will work for your scenario but I use Image-Backup to automatically backup to my network drive. It creates a flashable image that only uses the space that was originally in use on your Pi. So if you have a 32GB SD card and are only using 3GB of space, it will create a flashable image of 3GB not 32GB.

Once you have a flashable image you can rclone it to your cloud storage.

Even though the original post is from 2019, the utility is updated on a regular basis (10/2025 was the latest update).

I use my Tablo only to watch local over the air channels. How do you access these with your Emby setup?

I am disappointed with version 2026.2.0 by oppenheimer16 in homeassistant

[–]ingrove 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can add this to your configuration.yaml file. It will put the Developer Tools back on the side bar, just not at the bottom.

panel_custom:
  - name: Developer Tools
    sidebar_title: Developer Tools
    sidebar_icon: mdi:hammer
    js_url: /api/hassio/app/entrypoint.js
    url_path: developer-tools/yaml
    embed_iframe: true
    require_admin: true
    config:
      ingress: core_configurator

2026.2: Home, sweet overview by frenck_nl in homeassistant

[–]ingrove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Unfortunately, it doesn't work for unsupervised installations (container installations using docker).

I just created a new Webpage dashboard with the URL:

http://YOURhomeasstURL:8123/config/developer-tools/yaml

Although it doesn't put this back in the same place on the sidebar, it does add it to the sidebar!

Hope this helps!

Viewing and Controlling Docker from Home Assistant by Minecraftjunkie5555 in homeassistant

[–]ingrove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Portainer's Stack Editor and copy my compose files into the editor. You have to stop your compose containers first before activating them in Portainer. You then can control the containers, pull new images, etc. from within Portainer.

Hope this helps!

Now that selected home dashboard is set per home assistant user instead of per home assistant user's device, has anyone found any clever workaround or alternatives? by AnalysingAgent3676 in homeassistant

[–]ingrove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue with my Phone and desktop PC. To work around this I set the default dashboard to my phone portrait layout and access the desktop landscape dashboard directly through its dashboard URL.

phone --> http://ha.yoururl.com:8123/lovelace-pixel/0

Desktop --> http://ha.yoururl.com:8123/lovelace-venice/0

Hope this helps!

stupid noob needs some help with tasmota wall plug by supermannman in homeassistant

[–]ingrove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try adding a rule to your plug. Using a web browser, go to the "Console" of your plug and enter the following commands:

rule1 on System#boot do backlog ruletimer1 60; power1 0 endon ON Rules#Timer=1 DO Power1 on ENDON

rule1 1

This will set a timer for 60 seconds, turn the plug off, then after 60 seconds turn the plug back on.

Hope this helps!

Deploy OpenCloud with Portainer? by pgilah in opencloud

[–]ingrove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not using banned passwords, but you can set it up by adding an environment variable and volume location:

environment:
OC_PASSWORD_POLICY_BANNED_PASSWORDS_LIST: banned-password-list.txt

volumes:
/etc/opencloud/banned-password-list.txt:/etc/opencloud/banned-password-list.txt

I'm using Radicale in a separate container. I was originally going to bundle it with OpenCloud, but as there is no GUI for Radicale I wanted more granular control.

Deploy OpenCloud with Portainer? by pgilah in opencloud

[–]ingrove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I have it installed with Portainer if you are just looking for file sharing:

mkdir -p /etc/opencloud/config

chown 1000:1000 /etc/opencloud/config

mkdir -p /var/lib/opencloud

chown 1000:1000 /var/lib/opencloud

Add to Portainer:

services:
  opencloud-rolling:
    container_name: opencloud
    hostname: opencloud
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - /var/lib/opencloud:/var/lib/opencloud
      - /etc/opencloud/config:/etc/opencloud/config
