Great info Chris. 👍🏻
And that was a really cool blueprint. Where can I find out about the cameras that work with this? I’m guessing mine probably do not. They are the ring cameras
Easy = 19 minute video :/
Right at the start of the video, he shows you the blueprint to download, there's nothing more to know, it's all in the blue print, that's the easy way. The rest of the video explains the blueprint, but you don't have to watch it. A 4 minutes video would have been pointless. And for home automation, 19 minutes isn't much. If 19 minutes isn't easy for you to watch, move on to YT Shorts or TikTok...
I'm really liking the amcrest 8 megapixel POE cameras 👌
my main concern is the need to use 1 automation with each camera? i already some similar, but im unable to access the clip that frigate/mqtt create;( any idea how to use for multiple camera or access the clip.mp4 in the mqtt?
CAN I HAVE IT TURN ON A AIR PURIFIER AND TURN OFF WHEN SOMEONE WALKS OUT THE ROOM?
Have you fully moved from Blue Iris to Frigate?
Curious because I am thinking the same thing.
Excellent! You're video aligns with one of my goals for this weekend! Thank you!
15:54 well, I bought 06M version and using with ZHA or actually try to… it doesn’t work :( Everyone on YT seems to be using MQTT but I prefer native support… unfortunately I failed with radio migration, then connecting devices to it.l.
In order to use local analog phone network, can I connect a phone cable from the adapter to a local phone connector ? That way would allow other phones to be connected on this phone network?
These things are so inaudible they're useless for TTS or responses. Not to mention the mics are absolutely abhorrent. They maybe cheap, but they're not practical.
Horrific process by google. Thank you so much for making it easy, easy, easy!
Glad you got it working.
Is there a way to delete the icons on the tiles?
I haven't tried but I'll play around with that. I am going to assume no. Maybe there is a blank icon.
Question, on smoke detectors with the linked sensors, will this detect the specific alarm going off or just that one in the string is going off? If it shows the whole string then one relay is enough right?
This will alert if any in the string go off as long as they all share the same signalling wire.
Is this an i7 or i5?
How to delete older footage?
yeah, I watched the video hoping to learn how to do that
Hi! May I ask how you get the fan icons to spin?
I used the mushroom fan card. It has an option to animate the icon.
@@mostlychris OK! Thank you for your reply.
Interesting overview. Must say that the AH reserved/manual IPs should fall outside your DHCP range, so they are not "lost" when rebooting AdguardHome instances.
is this only for motion or human detection? i dont need to know if the leaves are blowing by. only care if it is a person or not. please confirm
@2:17 How do you get your Alarmo card to show up in one row like that? When I use a tile with the controls feature, it takes up way more height.
Can you post the update section YAML please? I have no alerts for HACS. I have to keep checking.
The issue I am trying to overcome is, visibility attributes. For example, the thermostat sensor reports the room temperature by default, I want the target temperature which is an attribute. The card shows it, but visibilty does not support it by default.
I have started to use visibility for the first time. As you say, it is handy to have an awareness dashboard. I love data and so have made some that are “too” big
rtsp2web not working for me with ssl or lack of information on how to configure ssl, can you reply on this thanks
Hey guys, anyone else seeing their Android app asking if you want to transfer device to Google Home app? I have this Nest HA automation working well so very nervous to hit 'Continue' but Google Home has no dismiss forever option and each time the Nest doorbell opens in the Google home app is asks me to transfer it to Google Home. Super annoying.. I'm using the integratation to snapshot the Nest doorbell to HA every 1 second which can then be auto triggered to all of my TVs when my secondary Nest Hello battery doorbell is pressed or manually if I hit an Aqara mini switch so I'd hate to lose this handy functionality. What do you guys think? Will it break? @mostlychris
I have the router installed at about 40-50 cm away from the Rpi4 which is used for HA. I want to use SZLB-06 over the network plugged in direclty in of the router ports or in a switch. Can I install it near the RPi4 (50 cm away from the router) or shall I try to go further from the router? Now I have Sonoff Dongle Plus (P) installed "near" the router but separating them with a wall.
No matter how I try to use this card, if I try to add any additional buttons, I get a "No type provided." error. Even if I copy the code in the screen exactly as it is in the demo.
HOLY FUCK USER FRIENDLY ENVIROMENT I HATE THAT THING FOR LAST 2 DAYS I HAVE IT.
Still incredibly painfull to configure. can't wait for them to add a onvif configurator
I just can't get my head around all these dashboard changes over recent firmware releases. I'm still adding physical devices, switches and sensors! And building automations in my project. One day I'll get around to these dashboard upgrades!!! Its insane the improvements going on - i can't keep up! im kinda hoping Llama running in HA will end up doing all these upgrades to my dashboard for me one day. To futuristic? Or are we nearly there?!
great update, did you figure out the birdseye url?
I like the original better. Being new to HA, I assume that original dashboard was built using the Masonry view?
Hi Chris. Do you know if this release works with the Alexa integration
I'm gonna say no, it broke mine. And the update the Alexa peeps released didn't fix it.
@@dboyd462 second that. i had to roll back.
@@kilobitz8639 That's where I am. Hopefully it restores functionality for now.
Ok I tried it on my dev box and it broke it. That’s why I asked. Thanks everyone for confirming
@@garysteo3398 I need to setup a dev system for testing things just for situations like this.
Great run through! Quick question, the tags on your automations, specifically the frigate driveway, how did you create them? Also on a related topic, how do I utilize “categories” to sort many automations into more readable lists?
estoy teniendo problema para poder visualizar lso controles multimedia cuando miro una grabacion desde la tarjeta de frigate, hay algun tutorial para esa config?
It's always great to see how people use home automation. I like to have items grouped by how i would let people use them. For example i have my pool and back patio option on a scene so it's easy to turn on an entire area that works together for like a Pool Party or a Back Patio Party. Some items are unavailable to the party folks because i don't want them turning them off / on (ex. Power Plug for a Stereo)
13:17 When clicking on "Connect" it says: Error Failed to download manifest What am I doing wrong?
I noticed you had the NWS Alerts on your dash board. I used the Blitzortung Lightning Strike Counter and NWS alerts to try and creat an automation to flash my LED light strings and announce the warnings on my google and Home pod speakers. It worked perfectly for the Blitzortung first try, but the NWS integration just shows the number of Alerts, but does not trigger the automation. I can't really figure out why. We have had more than 60 tornados here in Ohio, I thought this would be helpful. If you know where I went wrong this might make for a good video, maybe even life saving for some folks.....Thanks enjoy your channel.
Спасибо. Интересно. Пошел убирать лишнее с панели
first
The dashboard is really clean, I like it. But shouldn't you have a card to turn on the lights, blinds, switches, etc. too? In that case, do you use another dashboard? Thanks
What I do is have a Boolean called “show”. If I toggle that on all lights are made visible, can quickly see all lights to turn/on/off. Flick the Boolean off to go back to clean minimal view. Also use that with “guest” Boolean. It disable lighting Automation and shows all lights for guests to manually control.
Your dashboard looks good for you. And for some it can be a daily driver I find myself wanting to create my daily driver and the functions to do it are readily available or easy to use I hope it's a work in progress for HA I truly want an organic fluid feeling dashboard and right now it's utilitarian and they seem to be just recreating that same look again I would highly suggest HA just allow a new dashboard across the board if we so choose to use it
I cant find zigbee2mqtt has it been removed?
How can i install the camera WITHOUT connecting a LAN cable? If the cameras are installed and there is a problem with wifi i have to put all the cameras down to reconnect to the new wifi or may i dont have a LAN installation. In one house i want to use the camera with a smartphone hotspot and cant connect to LAN.
Thanks Chris! I was looking into several (more recent) videos on the subject but yours beats them in clarity and completeness. In case you make an update ;-) I found out the hard way that indeed you need to edit configuration.yaml (create http: section) as you point out near the end. Failing to do so will give you an "http error 400: bad request". Thanks to your help I can now finally manage my holiday home from a distance :D
Please show to us (especially for me) your updated configuration file please 🥲
I eliminated frigate from my Home Assistant blue since it took up so much space, and basically bricked my home assistant with 100% used memory. I have a NUC and a Google Coral. How can I put Frigate on the NUC and have Home Assistant ‘see’ it? I loved the person notifications and would love to get them back!
Will the BT relay network work for a BT keyboard? If you make a scene or action control panel using a BT keyboard (e,g. Numerical keypad) can the key press events be relayed to Home Assistant?
Frigate is pronounced as in "Brigitte" or as in "fry gate"? I'm not a native English speaker so I'm curious about this. I was always saying it as in "fry gate". 😇
I always say it like biscuit. Not the fried potatoes. I could be wrong. Known to happen!
You are an angel I was pulling my hair out with this integration finally doing the things 😭😄
