I currently have a ring doorbell that I pay a yearly fee for but I want to get away from Amazon and a subscription fee. I would prefer if it used the Wi-Fi and it was able to connect with my house doorbell. Edit: I’d also like to add that I would like it to have the ability to stream and record video.

I have a concoction of devices from all kind of manufacturers with cryptic codes in their names. Each device exposes multitude of sensors which makes the dashboard look like a mess....

Just got this email from Haier (US) who seems to be distancing themselves from the EU division’s decision to block Home Assistance....

I’m currently running HA on a Pi3… it works fine, but it’s now a single point of failure....

For those of you in the UK, IKEA currently has a steep discount on their GU10 bulbs. I’ve just picked up several dimmable, colour temperature controlled bulbs for £5 each....

Following a few days with all the windows closed (thanks cold weather), I’ve started looking into devices I could integrate for (mainly) Co2 monitoring....

Does anyone know if it’s possible to rewind the video feed, that the Homekit integration provides, from a Apple device?...

I run HA in Docker and I have set up Mosquito MQTT and Zigbee2mqtt in other containers....

We heat our house with oil (grumble grumble grumble) but our float sensor is not a very accurate measure and it’s out of the way to actually see. Has anyone come across a sensor that works with HA and has been reliable? Bonus points for something that still has an “analog” view in case of problem...

Any recommendations for a ZigBee RGB Lightbulb w/o 3rd party app - at least not a closed source app....

I used to have a Hive Home ecosystem until one fateful day where they limited my heating to 15 degrees and tried to freeze me to death unless I bought their newest thermostat and paid for their subscription. I ended up saying fuck the extorting bastards and bought a cheap Zigbee Thermostat to get me through the winter. It’s...

Does anyone know if there are examples like this. I want to get a notification system in HA. It needs to be able to send the right notification at the right time on the right device....

After updating HA last week, I lost access to it. I thought it was the external access, but seems the internal service is having issues....

Hi everyone. I am trying to repurpose an old Vero 4K+ that i have laying around. It is a Linux machine running Debian 11 bullseye, but I might need some help i am afraid....

So building new home. Its a small aframe up on the side of a mtn. Don’t need anything fancy like multi zone. Only need on/off with dimming. Buying switches for the main lights and am thinking its one of the following two....

I’m in the process of building a custom terrarium that will eventually house a leopard gecko. I’m looking for some small, inexpensive devices to monitor temperature and humidity in the tank via Home Assistant so I can set up some alerts. Any recommendations?

I have to preface by saying that this isn’t really related to Home Assistant. I can’t find a more generic home automation community on Lemmy and I figured someone here might have some experience with this so I hope is post is allowed....

Im trying to create an event log Card that will show important events during absence, like shown in the attached screenshot....

I’ve been going through my system logs and working on resolving the miscellaneous errors; mostly it’s just due to poorly-written automations where the automation would be called while it was still running. Easy fix....

There’s this picture on the home assistant front page with an epic top bar. How would one enable such a thing?

Can anyone explain these annoying outlier points from my zwave thermostat? This is from a honeywell thermostat, but before this I had a trane that suffered from the same problem. It happens with current temperature and humidity. It’s not like its terrible, it doesn’t mess with my automatons or anything, but when I want to...

Hey all,...
