Trying to find some displays that with easily with esphome, all I really want to do is display a few values from ha sensors etc

The few I've tried all seem really complicated with needing external libraries or access to external services (trying to keep most of my ha as local only) any recommendations? Thanks

Nothing like yelling “WHY ISN’T THE LIGHT TURNING ON?!” at 2AM while waving your arms like a confused wizard. Meanwhile, normies just flip a switch like it’s nothing. We suffer for our craft. Press F to pay respects… or reboot the Pi.

Exiting! What do you think?

"After a series of configuration and CPC task stack optimizations, we successfully ran both Zigbee and Thread networks simultaneously on the ZBDongle-E (with EFR32MG21 SoC) using the latest MultiPAN V4.6.0 firmware."

https://dongle.sonoff.tech/guide/zbdongle-e/multiprotocol_is_not_dead/

This will be good for other coordinators with the same chip, like SkyConnect or what it's called now.

Hello everyone,

I would like to introduce you to a Home Assistant-compatible environment and light sensor I am working on.

PCB Top and Housing

PCB (Bottom)

The idea for the sensor came about when I wondered why the Aquara room sensors weren't reporting CO2, etc., and when I was annoyed that my WLAN door sensor with integrated light sensor was unreliable. So I decided to build my sensor.

Features

  • nRF54L with Zigbee
  • temperature
  • Air humidity
  • Air pressure
  • CO2 equivalent
  • IAQ (Indoor Air Quality)
  • VOC
  • Ambient light (conversion still pending)
  • Battery voltage
  • Zigbee2Mqtt + Home Assistant Support
  • Requires a single CR2032 battery

Application

The sensor is fully compatible with Zigbee2Mqtt, although (unfortunately) CO2 is not yet implemented, as the cluster cannot be used in the SDK (bug on the part of Nordic) and IAQ and VOC cannot yet be read out via Zigbee2Mqtt, as the configuration is not yet functional (but is already being recorded).

In Home Assistant, the whole thing looks like this:

https://preview.redd.it/1t8sqhmwri5f1.png?width=1004&format=png&auto=webp&s=2ecd07697db7be2b463dd331123feb7163ea361f

In the long term, the sensor should enable me to control room lighting based on the existing light and implement automation based on air quality.

The price

The sensor costs around €50 for two pieces (including shipping and machine assembly). However, the relatively simple design means that the sensor can also be fitted by hand, which makes it a little more interesting in terms of price.

I am looking forward to your feedback :)

I live in a 2-storey house where there's large deviation in room temperature during the summer. I tested the Flair vents but they didn't work out (poor signal, high latency, limited and not the most reliable integration with HA, although I do liked the build quality). I came across some plastic vent covers lately as I need to replace the existing ones (which got rusted and could not be adjusted easily) and thought I could attach the third reality zigbee actuator switch to control the slider. Here's the result.

It's tricky, because having the door lock immediately is good for safety, but sometimes that's weird, like if I have maintenance being done, and it's like "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me". If I give it time, that kind of works, but then the sound of the door locking scares me a little, also it's not as safe.

Obviously not using auto lock solves this problem, but then you have to lock the door, and sometimes I forget.

Is there a better way of doing this?

Posting since there have been recent posts about HomeAssistant integration with these units, and many of us have them.

Link to recall website: https://mideaurecall.expertinquiry.com/?lang=en

There's an issue with the drain that can lead to mold growth on the indoor portion of the unit. The link has inspection instructions and says there will be multiple courses of action:

  • return for partial credit
  • schedule a technician to come and install a new drain
  • order a new drain and self-install.

It might only be me cause I'm so damn lazy. But am I the only one who wishes there was an "update all" button on HACS that would just pull down all the integrations I have and install the newest version. I'd settle for being able to have a checkbox beside things that need update and then tick stuff that I want to update without looking at it and other stuff that I'm like "I should read the release notes to make sure theres no breaking changes before I update that lol

Hey folks,

anyone here using Home Assistant completely without a dashboard?

I'm currently working towards making my dashboard completely redundant and while that's most probably not completely possible, I'm still looking for input and inspiration.

Thx & cheers!

So I dropped a comment on someone else's post regarding the method to put a custom side bar menu into your HA side bar using script in your config file. And a bunch of people went nuts so I'm just gonna link to it here in case others aren't aware of just how simple this is if you want to do it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/s/2fKZqrbK5t

EDIT:* Someone suggested I should just put the whole lot here so here is is.

I have a custom side bar item for automations and devices. It makes navigating super quick.


Custom Pannels
==============

panel\_custom:
 - name: Automations
 sidebar\_title: Automations
 sidebar\_icon: mdi:cog-transfer
 js\_url: /api/hassio/app/entrypoint.js
 url\_path: config/automation/dashboard
 embed\_iframe: true
 require\_admin: true
 config:
 ingress: core\_configurator
 - name: Devices
 sidebar\_title: Devices
 sidebar\_icon: mdi:devices
 js\_url: /api/hassio/app/entrypoint.js
 url\_path: config/devices/dashboard
 embed\_iframe: true
 require\_admin: true
 config:
 ingress: core\_configurator

This is the code you'll want to put into your config file if you want the same thing.

Edit: Forgot to say, you can essentially do this with almost any url path within HA you just have to know the url you want to point to and then obviously swap out the name you want to call it, the title, the MDI icon you want for it. Below is a list of other urls for various places within HA that you can use for your custom sidebar menu items. I have not tested every single one of these personally cause I put these in my notes like 6 years ago when I first started out with HA. But they follow the same url scheme that I know HA to be built on. What I'm saying is don't blame me if you ruin your config file. Back up first check the config for errors before rebooting.

Overview Dashboard = /lovelace/default_view Automations = /config/automation/dashboard Scripts = /config/script/dashboard Scenes = /config/scene/dashboard Helpers = /config/helpers Devices = /config/devices/dashboard Entities = /config/entities Areas = /config/areas/dashboard People = /config/person/dashboard Users = /config/users Integrations = /config/integrations/dashboard Blueprints = /config/blueprint/dashboard Energy Dashboard = /energy Media Browser = /media-browser Logbook = /logbook History = /history Map = /map Settings (General) = /config

EDIT: EDIT Just a heads up this only works with a supervised instance of HA
