Hey #HomeAssistant friends.
Is there any way to find out *why* a light turned itself on at 3 o'clock this morning?

I can see it happening in the Activity Log - but it doesn't say what caused it.

(Generic #ZigBee lights attached to a Hue Hub, if that makes a difference.)

I have a probably too-complex setup to charge my #EcoFlow battery when power generation is below an average fossil fuel percentage.

I also have a 3D printer that draws more power than I'd like while heating, so my goal is to run it entirely off the battery so as to not disrupt anything else on the circuit. If you give the EcoFlow AC power, it will charge at the load + charge limit. You can't just tell it to charge at X watts no matter what.

Well, it seems like the charging automations are triggering while printing (which is not supposed to happen), which tells the EcoFlow integration to reload, which shuts off the AC ports. The EcoFlow integration runs off of Bluetooth and I've had some reliability issues in the past. Guess I can't just reload it all the time.

Thus, failed print attempts. Meh.

So I finally got my #homeassistant trash integration working (I think). Each trash can has a small iBeacon screwed into it, and now my overview shows if the trash can is near the house or the road (All are near house now).

Due to how I did this, with mushroom cards in a grid, I lost the card background, but I'm sure I'll manage to get it back somehow (I just spent half an hour with mod-card to no avail). But it's looking pretty cool. Can hardly wait until tomorrow to see if it works. ;)

Mit meinem neuen Rechner kann ich nun auch endlich in Home Assistant echte Kamera-Erkennung machen mit LLM Vision, ollama und einem vision modell mit 14B... das macht richtig Spaß zu sehen, wie die KI die Kamerabilder beschreibt. 😛

New Blog Post: Monitoring Device Battery Levels in Home Assistant

I have a lot of battery-powered devices in my home automation environment. I wanted a way to monitor battery levels so I could attend to devices before they went offline.
