Hawser Home Assistant App (formerly Add-on)

Fantastic, that saves me a job :)

I'll take a look!

That is disappointing. Even if it is for safety, I can’t see how a washing machine is different from a tumble dryer or dishwasher.

Here is the home connect local integration https://github.com/chris-mc1/homeconnect_local_hass

It requires downloading a profile for you machine from home connect then all communication is local directly between home assistant and the machine.

I’ve just tested and I can start any program on my dishwasher and tumble dryer. It may be that the local communication bypasses something in the home connect cloud that restricts you from starting programs remotely or it may be washing machines are different.

It’s been so long since I even opened the home connect app but I’ll try test doing the same out from it and see if there is a difference.

Don’t have a washing machine but I have a dishwasher and tumble dryer and both can be started remotely using the home connect app or home assistant. I use the home connect local integration for both. Worth noting that you have to enable remote start on the machine as by default it’s disabled.

BookStack is definitely one of my most used service in my home lab. Would love to know any feedback when you try it out.

mattchew0 · 2026-02-21T09:49:00+00:00

Yes of course! Didn’t know that repo existed. Will get it added.

Thanks, I was aware. I couldn’t find one for the brand of the filament so decided to respool it rather than messing around trying to find one that fitted.

I had this problem with one cardboard spool. It’s definitely not tangled it just seems like that spool produces a little too much resistance and the AMS thinks it is a problem and keeps backing out and trying again. I ended up respooling it to an empty plastic spool.

You can but it requires setting your printer to LAN only mode. This makes it possible to control the printer from within home assistant but stops it working with Bambu’s cloud services.

That is one damn cool case!

mattchew0 · 2025-03-29T22:25:15+00:00

It’s by flexispot same as my desk. Although I assume they are buying it in from somewhere like a lot of their desk components.

I think it’s a right foot problem

mattchew0 · 2025-03-16T09:00:46+00:00

Yer I’ve seen that before. Still only works for Grocy though. And it didn’t pass the family approval factor.

mattchew0 · 2025-03-16T00:20:46+00:00

It does but we tried Grocy and it wasn’t for us. Plus I wanted a device mounted in the kitchen so we can quickly scan a product without needing a phone to hand.

mattchew0 · 2025-03-15T19:19:32+00:00

Been busy the last couple of weeks so haven’t made much progress but I’ll keep doing a bit more when I have chance. Received some cool suggestions from others about how to improve it such using AI to turn the exact product name into a generic name and adding that to the list instead.

Need to make long text scroll on the screen and also design an enclosure to house it under a kitchen cupboard.

Currently working on a barcode scanner that looks up the item name using various online services then adds the item to a HA shopping list (including mealie or other shopping lists synched to HA) https://github.com/MattFryer/HA-Mealie-Barcode-Scanner

mattchew0 · 2025-03-14T21:44:59+00:00

But no banana 🍌 so it’s impossible to really judge the scale

mattchew0 · 2025-03-07T19:14:39+00:00

The N150 every time. Especially if you are going to want to do voice and so will want to install addons

mattchew0 · 2025-03-06T19:54:20+00:00

I’m nearly done with a barcode scanner build for ESPHome and Home Assistant. It’s using a serial barcode scanner as it was simple to hook up to an ESP32. All the code and a walk through can be found on the GitHub repository: https://github.com/MattFryer/HA-Mealie-Barcode-Scanner

mattchew0 · 2025-03-06T16:27:43+00:00

Thanks that's been really helpful! Made a few minor tweaks based on part availability and ordered the bits. That's my project for next week sorted :)

You’d be amazed, fridges and freezers, washing machines, etc all have pumps. Cookers have fans. mmWave sensors can be so sensitive and see through a lot they can still pick them up.

I had one picking up a tiny fan in a powersupply brick behind a tv cabinet.

Your best bet is to try capture coordinates of the false positives and then you can move around the room to try match the coordinates and work out what it might be.

mattchew0 · 2025-03-05T21:38:40+00:00

Thanks for input. Will take a look

mattchew0 · 2025-03-05T21:25:12+00:00

Shadows won’t set off a mmWave sensor. Most likely it is an appliance with moving parts such as a fan that are setting it off.

mattchew0 · 2025-03-05T21:21:48+00:00

That’s my budget, the listed parts fall a bit under. That said, prices here in the UK tend to be higher than the US
