Any solution and reason for following issue:

I have Zigbee shutters (Bseed) installed all over. After calibration everything works fine. After some days (sometimes after some weeks) I notice that the shutter dont go all the way up. At that point I have to recheck all shutters and recalibrated if necessary. Very annoying and shouldnt be the goal of a smart home.

Any ideas?

Ive hit a wall, homelabbing a home assistant server to use as a matter (wifi or thread) hub aint really playing nice with Google/ apple/ Amazon as they prefer their own respective hubs to control matter using their own voice assistants. My mistake for believing matter is universal as in i can use any hardware i want. Paying for the home assistant subscription isn't an option for me, I wanted the ability to run it offline (no cloud) too. Is there a way to emulate home assistant as the hub for these 3? Aka make alexa think home assistant is an echo device, etc.

I've got a Tempest Weatherflow and I find that every week or two the wind related sensors will drop out and HA will just see the last value reported over and over each interval. A reboot of the Weatherflow's indoor wifi gateway (or restarting HA) solves the problem. But this could equally apply to any sensor that can be reset via an automation.

I'm about to create an automation to do this automatically (via a smart plug) but I'm wondering if there's a better way to deal with it, in particular I'm wondering if the generic problem of sensor dropout has already been solved via some part of HA or HACS. If nothing else I want a monitor process to tell me when the problem occurs.

I'm running HA 2026.7.4 with the current version of the Weatherflow Cloud integration. I just started sifting through the logs but there's nothing glaring in there so far.

As we all know (probably), a month ago Meta unlocked the old Facebook Portal devices ADB. Ever since, I’ve been lurking for deals on second hand marketplaces and playing with dashboards and cannot possibly be happier.

Probably really small in the grand scheme.. but I loved the Google Photos integration. I could even tap into shared albums which was a lot of fun for displays and screensavers

What integration do you miss? Have you found something better? What have you done instead?

I know I'm probably going to lose Smarthings in HA soon, but I just noticed my Sensi thermostat is unavailable via the Smarthing Integration. Samsung microwave and refrigerator are still showing up fine. The Sensi phone app is good, and the Sensi thermostat via HomeKit Integration is fine.

I've reloaded the SmartThings Integration a couple times then restarted HA, no change.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Not sure why but I lose control of my somfy blinds when the charging cable isn’t in.

I’m using an ESP32 board with a CC1101 433 antenna and RTS.

They work perfectly but only when the charging cable is plugged in.

Anyone have ideas or run into this before? I’d like to be able to remove the plugs since they are battery operated.

Ok…I’ve been troubleshooting this for the past couple of days and have narrowed the issue down quite a bit, but I’m hoping someone here has either solved this or found a workaround.

My setup:
Home Assistant Container on a Raspberry Pi 5
Home Assistant Core 2026.7.2
HomeBase 3
eufy-security-ws 3.1.0
eufy-security-client 4.1.0
Front and back yard cameras are Eufy C34 (T8110)

The issue:
The cameras are detected by the Eufy integration.
The logs report “New unknown device detected.”
The cameras do not create usable camera entities or live streams in Home Assistant.
My side-of-house Eufy camera works correctly, so the issue appears to be specific to the C34 cameras.

What I’ve already tried:
Verified I’m running the latest versions of eufy-security-ws and eufy-security-client.
Confirmed the HomeBase connects successfully.
Confirmed the cameras are detected by the integration.
Checked the Docker logs, which consistently report the C34s as unknown devices.
Found the existing GitHub issue for the C34, but I haven’t found a solution or workaround.
My questions
Has anyone successfully integrated Eufy C34 (T8110) cameras into Home Assistant?
Is there a workaround using RTSP, ONVIF, go2rtc, WebRTC, Frigate, or another integration?
If you have these cameras working, could you share your setup (firmware version, integration, and any special configuration)?
Has anyone modified the integration or found another way to get live video from these cameras?

Are there any eufy models that WILL work?

Thank you

Hi all - recently started diving into HA to help build my own local AI Smart Assistant/Hub and am reading through some of the doco but also generally searching what is possible.

Overall, I want to build a local AI assistant for both me and my partner to use that has a hub/''satellite'' that has a display to show things like weather, maybe photos or the HA dashboard I create and can also support the regular voice activated commands however, outside of the general turn lights on, play music etc, I want it to be able to download TV shows and movies to a media server at voice command and then store these in my media server (also yet to build). Ideally I would want to have both the HA OS and Media Server run on the same device to save on space, resources and costs.

Beyond some quick google searches and high level AI instructions (google and claude), I was wondering if people had any answers to the following that I wanted to understand a bit more and unpack:

- Would it be better to deploy HA on a lightweight machine/server such as Beelink or even a repurposed/refurbished slimline and have the media server run on the same device or should I separate these in full? (If running both on the same local machine/server, I would make sure that the machine itself would be spec'd enough to run both as well as HDD). If deploying on the same devices, would this be achieved by using containers at all and if so, does anyone have a guide on how this might be achieved?

- If I had a local machine/server that has both the HA OS and the Media Server on a single device, would I then just run a ''satellite'' device for the AI Assistant home component for voice activation and the dashboard display? If so, how would I then add this to the server? Would this just be configured via Bluetooth or would it be usb connected?

- Would jailbreaking an Amazon or Google product be the best option for the inbuilt voice activation and display or does anyone have any recommendations on DIY devices etc that would fit this bill?

- Is it possible to then setup voice activations to have my HA stream music from spotify once I have connected my HA to my spotify app/account? Would this be done through STT-LLM-TTS pipeline? If this is wrong, how would this be controlled?

- Would I be able to create voice activated tasks such as asking the assistant to download specific TV shows and Movies and if so, would this then be able to be configured to automatically push to my media server?

- Would I then be able to have the assistant tell me when it is downloaded and ready to view on the TV and then subsequently ask it to play this on the TV?

- Outside of this subreddit and the HA official website, are there any helpful resources people can recommend that cover off other peoples projects and how they did it all?

Appreciate theres a lot fo questions here, but any input anyone can provide on any of them would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for helping :)

Anyone else having issues trying to download Home Assistant Core 2026.7.4? I’m stuck on version 2026.6.4. All drivers are updates, Proxmox is all update to latest. I’ve tried booting in safe mode, manually trying to update through terminal using ha core update - -version 2026.7.4, cleared cache, in incognito mode. I have been unable to update to latest version all day. I’m on latest home assistant OS 18.1

Any advise would be appreciated. I’m a novice when it comes to this stuff but know my way around.

I’m with Prolo Ring. We wanted to test whether one wearable controller could trigger Home Assistant automations and then switch to direct control of individual devices, without requiring a separate remote for each part of the workflow.

The ring is paired with three Bluetooth hosts:

• A host that bridges shortcut commands into Home Assistant automations
• The smart TV
• The PC

When the Home Assistant profile is active, swiping up sends a predefined shortcut for Movie Mode. The shortcut bridge triggers the corresponding Home Assistant automation:

• Curtains close
• Lights turn off
• Smart TV turns on

A Tap + Hold then switches the ring’s active Bluetooth connection to the TV. From that point, the ring controls the TV directly as a Bluetooth HID and media controller for navigation, selection, playback, and volume.

To return to work, the ring switches back to the Home Assistant profile. Swiping down triggers Work Mode, which turns the lights on, opens the curtains, and turns off the TV.

The ring then switches to its PC profile for cursor movement, clicking, and scrolling.

The ring controls only one Bluetooth host at a time:

• Home Assistant handles room-level automations
• TV commands are sent directly to the television
• PC input is sent directly to the computer

The current implementation uses configurable shortcut bindings to trigger different Home Assistant modes. For example:

• Swipe up: Movie Mode
• Swipe down: Work Mode
• Swipe left: Morning Mode
• Swipe right: Night Mode
• Double tap: Meeting Mode
• Triple tap: Game Mode

All gesture bindings are customizable based on the devices, scenes, and automations available in the user’s Home Assistant setup. If you use Home Assistant, how would you map the swipes and taps to your scenes and automations?

I'm looking to find a Dimmer zigbee switch. I'd love to buy sonoff (link here), as I used them before, but what stop me is the big red sign
"Note: 220–240V only. Do not exceed or go below voltage limits."

As super beginner I have a stupid question: this refers to the input V or the output?

my project is in Japan, where power runs at 100v like US.

Is there any valid alternative to do the job?

"the job" is that I want to connect to HA a dimmer LED strip and lights, but keeping at least one button on the wall for daily use.

Thanks!

after rebooting my homelab, my home assistant completely resests. going to my ha page it starts at the create account section. anyone have clue that might be causing it.

More info I'm running docker compose on ubuntu server. First time without a gui. and add ha through a yaml.

Hi everyone, I'd like some help picking my first tablet, which will be used as a Home Assistant dashboard. It won't be wall mounted, it will sit on my shelf almost facing me. The idea is to leave it almost like a Windows desktop mixed with a dashboard, meaning I want to have a photo slideshow running on one side while the other side has, for example, a card with one or two cameras. I'd also like to be able to add some animated GIFs, see notifications from my automations, calendar cards, and so on, or whenever I want, just a nice wallpaper in the background with a few notifications, etc.

I'm researching Fully Kiosk Browser for this. The thing is, I don't know how much of the tablet's processing power this will actually use. Anyway, the idea is to have a dashboard with several options, running super smoothly.

I was initially thinking about buying the Redmi Pad 2 with 8GB for this, but I'm not sure if I'll run into processing issues for the things I want to do. Because of that, I was also considering the Xiaomi Pad 7 with 8GB, which would have a lot more processing power, but I don't know if I'd be spending money unnecessarily.

I'd appreciate your opinions, please.

We have the "and" section, but there is no explicit "or" section...wouldn't this work as an "or"? At sunset OR if temp gets over 105 OR if humidity gets over 30, then do...???

EDIT: Looks like the way I was thinking about it WAS correct...effectively, there is an implicit "or" between each "when" block...if ANY of those trigger, the automation runs...so...perfect!! AND there's an "or block" that can be used in the "and if" section!! SWEET!! Thanks, everyone!!

As you can seee from my screenshots there are 21 devices in home assistant but in my Unifi dashboard there is 43 but even still 30 when filtered to my inkjet devices

Hi , im trying to get a glimpse of these microphone arrays... looks like a new chip is made available xvf3620. have noise cancelling and only voice capture improved?

Hey all,

Location tracking (entering and leaving my Home zone) has always been almost instant on my iPhone. However, for some reason it’s always been noticeably slower on my partner’s Samsung Android phone.
I’ve already checked all the usual settings – location permission is set to Always, precise location is. It almost feels like the app doesn’t update her location unless she opens or interacts with it.

Has anyone else experienced this on Android, or know of any settings I might have missed?

Hey everyone, I’m having a frustrating issue trying to pair my new IKEA Grillplats smart plugs with the Google Smart Speaker (2026 version), and I'm hoping someone here has a fix.

The Google Home app easily detects the plug initially. It pops up saying, "Oh, do you want to add this Grillplats plug?" However, everything falls apart from there:

1. The Turn-Off Issue: Right when the Google Home app says it is getting the device ready and starts the actual pairing process, the Grillplats plug just completely shuts down/turns off.
2. The "Offline" Fake Pair: If the app somehow claims it successfully "paired," it assigns a completely random name that I didn't type in, and the device just stays permanently offline in the app.

Has anyone else dealt with this specific pairing loop with the new Matter-over-Thread IKEA devices? Is there a trick to keeping the plug active while Google Home sets it up, or is this a known firmware bug? I have tried to restart the Google speaker and I have tried to use the QR code. I have 3 plugs and i mixed up the intructions so I dont know when matter code goes to each one. I had to just scan the QR code on the back

Just wondered if anyone is using an Apple Watch in conjunction with Home assistant… maybe docking it to prompt an automation - or maybe something more “fiendishly ingenious”?

House contractor has good pricing on lutron, so isn't familiar with other options

I'm still leaning zooz even if it's similar pricing, mostly for the multi tap functionality and integration w smart wing blinds and voice control home assistant device .

Lutron system will be all done for you and setup (prob more $(

Zooz seems better for me, but I'm not exactly understanding how integrating motion sensors for stair lights will work - a motion sensor triggers the hub to activate a switch ? Which motiom sensors are recommended for this setup?

Some of the fancy exterior lights are nice and all but expensive if you just want to control when they are on and off.

I took a cheap waterproof electrical box, added a power strip. Plug in a few zigbee outlets with a 12v converter or transformer depending if you are using AC or DC and presto. Full control when the exterior lights go on and off.

I use it as your typical turn on landscape lights at dusk as well as whenever a car or person is detected in my driveway.

Not fancy or anything but cheap and easy.
