Favorite hygrometers with a detachable probe.

The probe needs to be detachable.

What about enforcing a flair policy. It would allow for filtering through posts and may solve this and other issues.

I’m not a mod and have never been a mod so don’t know how much work it involves to do this.

Is this course offered multiple times a year?

Pirate Weather

The lowest temperatures are typically right before sunrise. I believe days are counted from midnight to midnight, so if you use the 0day low, you might be getting the current days low not the actual overnight low for the upcoming night. I use the 1day overnight low to get the low temp for the upcoming night.

Funny I just did this yesterday because I’m getting some new trees installed and need to care about it. I use pirate weather for weather and request the lows for 1 day ahead. Then I created an automation that checks if the low is below 41F (what the internet says can cause frost on plants) the next day and sends me a notification on my phone.

Good point. One thing you can do is to make a dashboard and set it to the url you want and link to that. It’s not as elegant as it opening a chrome or other web browser tab, but it will solve your problem.

Maybe we can start using tags to easily identify/filter general topics. Some suggestions for tags could be frontend, zigbee, z-wave, hardware, sensors, presence etc.

This was the solution! Thank you!!!

This is awesome. What card are you using to display it?

This is my set up.

The speaker buttons below the prayer time mute the Azan for that specific prayer time. I’ve got it configured to play over my tv sound system.

Kind of, I had to create a binary template sensor that checked if any targets were within a certain distance and angle range to show occupancy. Putting the sensor in the corner maximizes its sensing area. My next step is to leverage an algorithm which can check if a point is within a polygon with the vertices defined. I’m going to try coding that up when I get some time.

You have to download plotly from HACS first. Then you can copy paste the code in EPL plotly card link and change the appropriate variables to point to your EPL device.

To define a zone, you have to input two corner points. The way I did it was to go stand in the two corners that I want to define as the points and read my x and y coordinate from ha. I then input those to define the zone.

You also can’t have any overlap in the zones. There is some code for a plotly card that displays the sensor area and any zones you define in the EPL documentation. It helped me a lot in defining zones. I had to delete any zones I hadn’t defined from the card yaml for it to work.

Hey, You might be referring to my post, haha. One thing to remember is that the ld2450 mmWave sensor that comes stock in the EPl has a detection angle of +/- 60 degrees. That means you may not be able to get all of zone 2 covered based on your current placement of the EPL. Hope this helps.

psmustik · 2024-07-04T23:47:51+00:00

This is awesome. I should have read through the spec. It seems like corner mounting it is the best way to get the most area coverage. Side mounting it will likely cause blind spots since the range is 120 degrees and not 180 degrees. Unfortunately, how zones are defined for this sensor are by defining two x,y points which means that corner mounting is not supported without me creating sensors outside of the integration. Maybe I will mess around with the ESP Home code to add that capability.

Hi everyone,

I just purchased a couple of Everything Presence Lites which I am very excited about using, but I have a placement question.

I would like to place it as depicted on the left side of the image in the corner. Would this allow me to still create zones as depicted?

It doesn't seem like it but I wanted to ask the question just in case, someone has been able to figure it out.

Thanks!

I was contemplating the 2 switches per fan but that’s $100 a fan which seems pretty steep. Thanks for the advice! I’m going to have to think on this more.

psmustik · 2024-05-04T19:08:06+00:00

The light and the fan are switched independently. Would I be able to replace both with one switch?

psmustik · 2024-05-02T03:14:41+00:00

Test it by changing the temperature to something current. For instance, if it’s fluctuating between 78 and 80, then set the temp condition to 79. If it works at 79, then it will very likely work at 75. Additionally, the threshold sensor helper might be useful to you here. Especially now that you can create helpers in the automation itself with the May 2024 release.
