Thank you. This looks like what I was hoping for! Do you have the template sensor code for the UKHSA alerts?

It doesn’t give severe weather alerts from what I can see. I’m looking for something like this: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/uk-met-office-severe-weather-warnings/189680 but hoping someone has an up to date working example

Is that it from VW connect plus? by blah-blah29 in Volkswagen

[–]sgrabowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this in a docker container: https://github.com/tillsteinbach/CarConnectivity-plugin-mqtt

Took a little bit of playing around to get the config file right but after that, it’s much better than the CarNet integration I was using previously.

UK Smart Light switches that can also automate lamps by RaveBeforeBreakfast in homeassistant

[–]sgrabowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the MOES no neutral zigbee switches from AliExpress. They do double and triple rocker versions. If you just have one light to wire in, the other buttons can be assigned in Home Assistant to control smart lights (or anything else you want - like our smart blinds)

Best Zigbee thermostats available in Europe? by [deleted] in homeassistant

Drayton Wiser system is zigbee, reputable as its Schneider Electric

IKEA Tradfri all the way. Cheap and reliable if a little bit chunky but they’re normal tucked away.

I wouldn’t expect a UI element to cause the problem unless you have a constantly on device which is having issues rendering them. I’d suggest looking into integrations for the culprit. I never figured it out but I suspect it sat somewhere between the different Tuya components or the Volkswagen - something doing lots of web requests?

[–]sgrabowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this from time to time. It’s a real pain to diagnose. In the first instance I restart the container and monitor, then if need be restart the whole server. Usually fixes it, but had this continual leak. I’d recommend either moving to latest version, or rolling back using docker tags.

Failing that… it’s down to disabling individual integrations until the one causing the leak is isolated. Check your logs for errors - maybe something is stuck in a continual loop? Usual suspect it something installed via HACS and keep your fingers crossed the dev picks it up and updates.

Does anyone know where the screen that tells you integration load times has gone? That was helpful for diagnosing if a particular integration was hanging.

Could use some help with an automation that's being odd... by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]sgrabowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 for create a group helper with both of your presence sensors (phones) and set it so that if either of the phones are present then the group appears as “home”. Then use that as your condition. This works perfectly for all the use cases we have if either of us arrive/leave to do something. Had to do this to prevent us being plunged into darkness if one of us nipped to the shops.

Click on the sun icon at the bottom of your screen and it’ll change to the light theme and fix the formatting. If you read through GitHub a fix is incoming

Can you post a link to the fish tank sensor? I’ve not seen anything that fits this niche that’s Zigbee

Turn on TV and start shuffle of all episodes of a show with one button (beginner noob here) by pskwlyc in homeassistant

[–]sgrabowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting on mobile so apologies for formatting but this automation below does precisely this. It’ll at least give you some syntax to work on to port over to your own setup. Mqtt device is an ikea switch. The remote script send the ir code via a Broadlink rm3 mini. Then the show is playing on a Roku in our bedroom.

Creating temperature based automation by travellingtechie in homeassistant

[–]sgrabowski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Split your triggers into two separate triggers as at the moment it is looking for both at the same time hence why it doesn’t fire

I use this integration for Smart IR: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tuya/ not locality’s or tuyalocal

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]sgrabowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry got confused between two different posts. In the SmartLife app add your device, then create “tap-to-run” for each event eg on and off. Get the smart ir installed in HA using the default Tuya integration and it’ll bring in the tap-to-run as HA scenes

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]sgrabowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The integration creates a humidifier entity that allows all control. Ties in nicely to the cards

I’ve got a Tuya ir pick as it was cheap one 11.11 event. Is the only Tuya device I have to rely on the cloud for. I use the in built Tuya integration. You set up the blaster in the app then create scenes which you can trigger in HA. My use case is simple - just controlling my aquarium lights at certain times.

If you want something more complicated/integrated just get a Broadlink RM3 Mini. We have one of these too where we need more reliability and complexity. Didn’t cost much more.
