Controlling and reading z-wave devices via a z-wave USB stick (e.g. the Aeotec Z-Stick Series 2 -- but there are several others which appear to use the same serial-based protocol) would be great -- maybe it would be possible to integrate something like https://code.google.com/p/python-openzwave/ ?

Hi,

I created a package of Home Assistant to run on Synology NASes and submitted a PR at SynoCommunity/spksrc#1773.

The package is not built&published yet, but when it is published (needs to be done by a maintainer of that repository), it might be nice to add to your readme and to the homepage.

It still needs testing since I can't test all modules (I can test only Hue and ChromeCast - these work).

Since it is a beta package, users need to enable the "beta channel" to be able to install it.

Hi,

I remarked two differences of behaviour between the master and the dev branch:

• in dev, if I click on the toggle button in the states view, it brings up the entity detail card
• the group of buttons for the developper tools are not in the lower left corner in the dev branch
  

Br.

With the current master I get runtime errors when PyISY is not available, although PyISY is listed as 'optional' in requirements.txt.

The format of time is inconsistent in the interface. We use 24 hour style here. I assume this should be configured trough the Timezone parameter in the configuration. This is set to Europe/Brussels.

The sun card:

The timeline at the top is displaying correct 24-hour style. The information at the bottom is showing 12-hour style.

Logbook:

The time in the logbook is in 12-hour style.

Timeline popover:

The timeline itself is displayed fine, but the popup is in 12-hour style again.

Indeed, I got this error message :(

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: Intl

which I think is also the cause for a

TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'monthElements[this._triggerRange].dataset')

Just got on this googling the problem: openfisca/openfisca-web-site#45

The media player card scales well, but the state history element in it does not scale well and causes a horizontal scrollbar. It is fixed at 400px, but since this is a svg I'm not sure whether it can be scaled easily.

I thought it would be good to make a list of where the chromecast integration can be improved, now that the basics work again.

The following come to mind, please add your thoughts.

Additions to the media player card:

• Current application name
• Basic buttons for previous/next track, pause/play, stop
• Volume slider

Pychromecast:

• Status seems to be always idle (can be seen in the INFO:home assistant:Bus:Handling message, ). What is the difference of this state with the playing state?
  )
• More pychromecast controllers are needed since not all conform to the media player receiver:
• DS Photo
• DS Video
• DS Audio
• probably others

Are there any ways to find out the protocol for chromecast apps that have no browser app?

anybody tried the raspberry pi z-wave extension board - I'm thinking of maybe switching from openhab to home-assistant...

Hi,
going on with my Netio implementation, I was wondering what was the best way to have a sensor/switch combination: netio4all is a remote controllable socket plug with consumption sensors and com is build upon telnet, so I was thinking about:

• creating a new component: switch/sensor specific
• creating a new generic component:
• creating a kind of object provider, accessible from a switch component and a sensor component
• using something existing that I missed .. :)

What would be the best action path ?

The configuration.yaml.example file is missing any example config for z-wave sticks. It would be nice to include a sensible default config in this file, and perhaps a note about what is needed to enable z-wave-stick support.

When using a router running OpenWRT, device_tracker registers devices no longer connected to the network as "Home". The ARP table, which is used by home assistant to determine the device states, includes devices which had been connected at some point but are not currently online.

To resolve this issue, it seems that the flags returned in the ARP table for each device should be checked for the value 0x2, which is defined as NUD_REACHABLE in /usr/include/linux/neighbour.h.

When using the Aeon Multi-Sensor via a Z-Stick 2 USB device, only the motion-detector (reported as the "Sensor" state) state updates regularly -- the other values seem not to be updating at all (HA indicates that the last values were reported more than an hour ago). It would be nice if HA could be used to modify the config settings of the Aeon sensor -- it appears that by default, three of its states (Temperature, Luminance, and Humidity) expect to be polled.

I would like to leave the authentication to another part of the stack for my setup, but hass does not seem to support skipping the log-in screen right now. Can such an option be considered?

After searching google, flipping through the docs, and picking through half the source, I wanted to ask if MySQL could be used as a persistence store and how? (Am I misunderstanding? Is there no persistence storage?)

If this hasn't been implemented, could it conceivably be? I can write some python, though my networking strength is questionable on a good day; any notes to work towards that would be helpful.

For SynoCommunity/spksrc#1654 I'm wondering whether Home Assistant uses pid-files so that the Synology operating system can detect whether Home Assistant is running.

Do you make use of them or are you planning to start using them?

I'm running the latest version of home-assistant on my rpi. Nest hasn't shown up for a while and I see this error in my log file:

My configuration hasn't changed since it last worked but it follows the example from the docs

thermostat:
  platform: nest
  username: email address
  password: mypassword

Nice work with the new design for the web interface.

Are you planing to add support for controlling the thermostat from the web interface? Set target temperature and away_mode.

I tried to fix it my self, but I am not familiar with the polymer api, so I have not succeeded so far.

Ive been having problems with tracking the 2 phones in the house. Tracker always stops working after a while. Can see from the logs that this is the last entry relating to Luci.

I defined a scene in my configuration.yaml. I can switch it on, but I can't switch it off (using the frontend).

When I switch it on (using the switch in the frontend), the settings are applied, but the switch immediately slides back to "off". This makes it impossible to switch off a scene from the frontend.

I'm using the following configuration:

scene:
  - name: Evening
    entities:
      light.light_a:
        state: on
        color: [0.5294, 0.4529]
        brightness: 123
      light.light_b:
        state: on
        color: [0.5294, 0.4529]
        brightness: 123
      light.light_c:
        state: on
        color: [0.5294, 0.4529]
        brightness: 123

I can probably help with fixing this one. On iOS, when I add HA to my home screen, the icon has a black border as attached. This is on the 5S.

I've just installed Homeassistant, and configured it with Philips Hue support. The lamps show in the Web interface, and I can turn them on or off. However, changing the color XY or the brightness value in the JSON payload via the Web interface has 0 effect.

I can see the icon color changing in the Web interface so it reflects what I changed, but it actually does not make any call via phue.

Following the Getting Started on an Ubuntu 14.04 VM resulted in the interface loading but it is not accepting a login.

The console shows the following exception:

Is there anything else that is required before this works?
(Also, I had to Google for the default password as it isn't mentioned on the getting started page.)

Neither of these result in homeassistant listening on port 8123

python3 -m homeassistant
python3 -m homeassistant --config=config

In fact, it isn't seeming to be listening on any port.

Sadly, I can't use the docker container due to docker being broken in Fedora 21 right now. So while it is running, I tried lsof -i tcp:8123 and lsof -p $(pidof python3)

This is with Python 3.4.1 on Fedora 21 (pre-release) x86_64.

Following README -

python -m phue --host HUE_BRIDGE_IP_ADDRESS --config-file-path phue.conf

Had to pip install external first:

pip install -e .

from path: homeassistant/external/phue/

I just realized that the time based target temperature logic in the heat_control platform is misplaced. The heat control platform now does two things:

• controlling a heater based on a sensor
• looking at the time to set target temperature.

Setting the target temperature based on the time should either be in a separate component or be integrated with the scheduler. This way it would also work for other thermostats.

I just switched from nmap_tracker to netgear, and got duplicated entries for all my devices. The Netgear router outputs devices names and MAC in caps, while nmap outputs them lower-cased. I guess the comparison is made on the MAC address, and should be case insensitive.

Using the user-select: none css options disables the ability to select text in the interface. This is usefull for mobile interfaces since you can often start text selection by tapping and holding on a UI element too long. This breaks the app-like behavior.

Support is available in all recent browsers: http://caniuse.com/#feat=user-select-none Old browsers will just ignore this setting.

Screenshot: No more this!

Using the latest release from master.

When I launch the web app on iOS 8.3, and click on any component, I am unable to 'get out' or go back to the list. Usually I would click on the darkened part of the page, and the widget would pop away. Not so with the latest build.

Workaround is to reload the page.

Pretty simple actually, after a fresh install on first run my wemo devices can be seen in the log as discovered but never actually show up in the web frontend. Could this be related to the latest wemo firmware? I fixed this over on ouimeaux...

I don't see an option to serve Home Assistant over HTTPS. My server automatically redirects connections from HTTP to HTTPS, so this prevents me from accessing the app.

If this isn't too complicated, I'm happy to give it a try and submit a pull request, but I'll need some guidance about where to look.

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
 of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
 bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
 using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
 the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
 problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
 not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
 the -k (or --insecure) option.

How can I disable the certificate check using pyenv?

I'm not sure I understand the need to ever have the master-slave architecture with home-assistant?

This is just a general question, but I don't know where else to ask a question like this.

thanks in advance.

I suspect this either hasn't been considered yet, or it's still a ways in the future. Either way, consider this as an opportunity for brainstorming rather than as a full feature request.

I have a roommate. We have Hue lights in our living room, and a few more in my bedroom.
I would like the living room lights to turn on when either of us is home, and turn off when we both leave. The device_sun_light_trigger covers this fairly well.
I would also like for my bedroom lights to turn on when I come home, and to turn off when I leave. (regardless of where my roommate is).

This suggests a couple of changes that seem a little over my head at the moment:

• modifying the device_sun_light_trigger to work properly for a single user or group. I've started on this in #15, but I think it's incomplete.
• modifying the device_sun_light_trigger so that it's possible to create more than one of them. It looks like this was done for lights and switches in 0527760 , but I'm not sure how to extend that work to trigggers.

I'm wondering whether there is a generic entity that describes a person (whether this person is at home) without using the device tracker.

In my opinion the device_tracker component is one way how to implement that person status, but there can be more ways. For example, there are apps like Geofancy that can send a request to a given url based on geolocation / iBeacon presence.

Having a generic entity having the STATE_HOME / STATE_NOT_HOME states would be the most simple solution since then a POST request to /api/states/<entity_id> could be made.

When trying to make the new zwave support work (using the master branch, and running the build_python_openzwave script), I get the following traceback:

I'm wondering whether there is a component that can make requests to URLs, so that an external service can be called (without needing to create a component for it)

When defining a custom type of switch in config/custom_components/switch the file __init__.py has to be copied. Otherwise the custom folder is skipped and the custom component is searched for in the built-in components folder (where it is not found and an error is reported).

Is this the intended behavior or is it a bug/missing feature?

I saw the comments in the loader code concerning this difficulty, but I do not know whether this is left as a TODO or considered complete.

Hi,

I noticed the documentation does not explain how to properly setup philips hue lamps. All it says is that the discovery service should be used.

But to get it working you have to create a phue.config in the config dir, which is not documented anywhere.

If anyone else is having trouble setting it up, here is the format:
{"<your host / ip>": {"username": ""}}

The 'install on local machine' instructions at https://home-assistant.io/getting-started/ won't work if run as a non-root user, because pip will try to install to locations not writeable by an ordinary user. To make it work, pip can be used as follows instead: python3 -m pip install --user -r requirements.txt.

Perhaps these instructions could be changed to use the --user flag?

Has a bug causing it to fail talking to chromecasts. the bug was fixed in
home-assistant-libs/pychromecast@ac4eb58

but anyone installing from pip will have a failure.

I went and fixed it and was going to put in a pull request - only to find it was tracked down and done.

Is it possible for you to rebuild and republish the pychromecast library for pip referred to in requirements.txt or put a forked version up that fixes the problem and add that to the requirements.txt

homeassistant:
  customize:
    device_tracker.iPhone:
      hidden: true

Having this in my config I would expect this iPhone to be hidden but it is present in the main view.

Currently there is an beautiful and very simple remote control for home automation on Kickstarter. I thought this screenless controller would be an ideal complement to the screen-based interface of Home Assistant so I ordered one.

I liked the idea of not needing to unlock a phone, opening the web application and switching some hardware, but instead having a physical control in my hands that works quickly and intuitively for simple actions. Home Assistant would then still be a great application where all hardware could be set up and integrated.

Now I'm wondering how it would fit into Home Assistant. First of all - bluetooth connections are new to Home Assistant (most components are ip-based).

Are there any other people who thought of supporting additional remote controls instead of phones / tablets? I know there are some wall switches, but are there any other thoughts on remote controls? I can think of Logitech Harmony, Philips Tap, but also LIRC / infrared receivers?

The Sun component is displaying sunset times in UTC instead of my local time (PDT). It also appears to have a more major issue that causes the start and end of the time rages to get mixed up maybe? I haven't dug too far.

At the time this screenshot was taken local time was 13:30 PDT. Sunset is at 19:26 PDT (02:26 UTC).

It's unclear to me what the "In 7 hours" is as well since that doesn't correspond with anything as far as I can tell?

I have one of those hybrid modem/wifi boxes from my ISP. I have a bunch of WeMo gear and never had any luck with ouimeaux. Can I just hardcode the IPs and skip the wifi config?

VeraLite ?
VeraEdge ?

Using a git checkout from this morning. Let me know if you need more info.

I recently did a fresh install of home-assistant on an Ubuntu 14.10, AMD64 machine, where I forced all python package installations to be local (either via the --user flag for pip, or by using the setuptools --prefix $HOME/.local/ option for the python-openzwave installation). The local user is a member of the dialout group, and can access the /dev/ttyUSB0 device.

When I try to run home-assistant, I get the following tracebacks:
