Thanks for the assistance. I ended up restoring a backup onto a new SD-card and everything started working again. I think the SD-card died on me while I was away.
However, my system continued to stall once in a while, so I decided to get the Home Assistant Green in order to update my setup and go with something more official. It’s just too troublesome having constant issues when everything relies on this one box!
The only way I can think of is to disable the built-in updates, and set up time based shortcuts and have them do an if on wifi then trigger home assistant app sensor updates.
The way I’d structure it is a normal shortcut that you run from as many time-based shortcuts as you want to create (so you can reuse it easily). You can check the network name you’re connected to and only run if it matches your home network.
I mean you can basically make everything you can image work through stateless switches. You would use homebridge to attach some script to the switch and start from there. That’s how I control some of my stuff too. AFAIK homebridge and HA can co-exist.
Yes sorry I didn’t read your whole question very well. It may be possible to use the integrated remote app in the iPhone to control that. What device plays this video feed?
I don’t get as much into automating for the sake of automating. Personally, I prefer technology that makes my life easier. Anything “smart” in our house has to be manually overrideable.
That said, one thing I’m working on automating is the HVAC. Eventually I’ll have the Central heat, central humidifier, and whole house fan controls all integrated with HA. My goal is to maximize both comfort and energy efficiency. Being able to maintain the comfort level by automatically switching between A/C or fresh air (via the whole house fan) would be pretty cool (figuratively and literally).
If it needs to be battery powered, the Eufy T8210C is pretty good and records to a local base station. The battery life is fine, but I would absolutely prefer to have a hardwired one if I could.
Sounds like it’s not actually running. Restart the hass server and check the logs, which is the only place you’ll see if a dependency is preventing it from starting.
I have been a few times. I connected a screen and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. One error message popped up though, about not starting overlayfs. It might be that my SD card has corrupted all of the sudden. Trying a restore onto a new SD card now.
HA might be possible in a active passive configuration if you don’t have any dependencies on external hardware like a zigbee stick. Active active would need support by HA and I don’t think that is implemented.
I think the most secure thing is to keep regular backups so you can roll back easily.
Thanks, yes, I think active-active would be another magnitude harder… and would need database, history, etc on shared storage… over the top to jist ensure the lights stay on.
And backups are essential for all use cases (and not just the built-in HA backup left on the device / VM / container that just failed!)
