Hi, I was wondering if any of you have a function/Automation/ Step by step Instruction for your Wife or Husband in case you die.

For me, I have our Vehicle Charge System and Internet Add Blocker running on a Raspberry with Home Assistant but my wife has no clue about it. She has no interest.

If I would die today, I guess the system would run for 1 or 2 Month without any problem but after an Update on any part would set the system on error.

The Internet would not work and she could not charge the car.

Do you have a backup plan?

I know a lot of people have struggled with the voice PE's so I thought I'd share my experience now that they're working a lot better for me:

  • Usefulness: I've been adding functions slowly, but most of these work just fine:
    • Weather: Using a blueprint, it works great but is a little wordy
    • Calendar: Works ok, still working on anything past "What's my schedule today"
    • Tasks: Also works fine, but you have to specify the name of the list you are referring to each time.
    • Home control: Usually bypasses the LLM, so it's really fast.
    • General knowledge and recognition accuracy: Also works (passed my "What is fukujinzuke?" test). I speak English without a significant accent.
    • Speed: I'm using a local LLM (Qwen 2.5 14b). It ranges in speed from 2 - 8 seconds unless it's a device command. Those are pretty much instant.
  • Wake word and recognition: This works very well within about 9 feet / 3 meters with it set to "Moderately sensitive". So it works great on my bathroom counter, desk, and bedside table. It is not great for across-the-room conversations.
  • Continued conversation: Now that the PE automatically starts listening if its response ends in a question, I can continue my conversation without saying "Hey Nabu" over and over.
  • Hardware: This is a preview unit, but it's really good considering the resources that were available. My main issue with it is the speaker. I'd gladly pay more for a better speaker.

TLDR: It works really well for a conversation in the morning while I'm getting ready and controlling my devices. Overall, much better and more private than my google homes. Feel free to AMA.

Hi all,

in my home assistant, I am getting this warning:

https://preview.redd.it/ut9xd7zlen8f1.png?width=1150&format=png&auto=webp&s=ac02ee533ce8cc3fe9619e989614a1a93254b7ef

but my system is all 64-bit !

  • Hardware: from cat /proc/cpuinfo: Model : Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4, which is a 64bit arch hardware. (same for cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model)
  • Software: cat /etc/debian_version : 12.11
  • Kernel: Raspbian 64-bit: uname -m : aarch64
  • Deployment method: I am running Home Assistant as a docker (compose) container from ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable

what part makes it believe it is 32-bit ?

I’ve been having the odd reliability issue with ZHA, so before I buy new devices (it’s happening to specific devices and my mesh is solid), I decided to make the jump to Z2M.

This is still in the early stages of network healing but some things I’ve noticed:

  1. it does feel a fair bit quicker in daily use. Especially commands to multiple rooms like “turn off all upstairs lights” feels much much quicker.

  2. I’m getting random weird slowdowns, like a light turning on 30 seconds after motion is detected. Often I’ve left the room by then. I am going to chalk this up to “weird network behaviour as the mesh builds” for now, though. I’m hopeful, and semi-expecting, that to go away over the coming days.

  3. updates are Z2M weakest point. By fair. In ZHA I could update 5 devices at once and not even notice it. In Z2M, I’m updating 1 device, and not only is it taking longer to update, the entire network is significantly slower. If anything ends up being a deal breaker - it’ll be this. I don’t update often but when I do, it’s 30 devices at once (because most of my devices are the same brand so get the same updates at the same time).

So I’m a few months in and learning so much. This weekend I discovered and implemented trigger id’s to combine and streamline my automations! Also things like running parallel actions, choose options, or the “or” condition have all been cool to learn about - so my question - for those more experienced and expert - what are your power user tools? The best things to learn about next?

Thanks all!

I've read many threads here and on the forum, but nothing really works for me. I want my morning routine to kick in automatically when both me and my wife wake up - but no buttons, I don't want to say anything to Siri, I don't use alarm to wake up, I might forget to charge my iPhone overnight. Also I don't really understand how ESP32 and related things work and this is not in my HA priority list to learn about it yet.

How does your setup detect that you're awake and out of bed? Please throw me your smartest ideas

Cheers
