I want a script that randomly turns a switch off in the house. Do you have any of those?

We always say “the grass is always greener on the other side”.

Communism things the same about capitalism.

Go to your automation. Make sure it has triggered recently with your bug. Go to it’s traces. Click on the trigger circle (if there are multiple) Scroll down and in ‘step details’ look at the “Changed variables” tab

What does it say?

Another option I use is to filter our “from unknown”

alias: from_state != unknown
condition: template
value_template: "{{ trigger.from_state.state != 'unknown' }}"

I’ve used the “uptime” entity to see when HA has rebooted. This can also be intergrated into a condition

description: ""
triggers:
  - value_template: "{{ now() - states('sensor.uptime')|as_datetime > timedelta(minutes=1) }}"
    trigger: template
conditions: []
actions:
  - action: light.turn_off
    metadata: {}
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id:
        - light.milight_hub_badkamer
        - light.milight_hub_wc
mode: single

Its that athom smart plug I mentioned. Its used to track "planned, running, and finisched " states

We personally have a smart lock. And just giving a time and date window code to the Pet caretaker is super awesome. Also a lot of friends have a personal code but van only enter during day time. We also sometimes forget to fully lock, or use the night lock. But with an (local and EU-based) smart lock that problem is also solved.

Smart, investing in a proper door do be verry expensive.

A fully 3/3 EU stared door only means it can hold someone out for 5 minutes. And your door is as week as the weekest point

All hardware people buy smart locks because they know locks are super easy breakable and pickable.

All software people buy keys, since they know software has bugs and you can get in easily.

So what are you?

My goal has always been to have a better lock than the neighbours

Would work but is a challange with an intergrated dishwasher. And I’ve been trying to avoid batteries (unsuccessful but trying)

The end goal is trying to automate when the dishwasher is emptied by a person. I’ve been tracking a lot of power things already to get there status. So in the kitchen there is a led kickboard that shows the color of the appliances

I was just here to see if anyone has a simple (not battery) idea of how to detect if the dishwasher is open/closed. But I’m happy to read all the other comments.

My recommendation is to read the manual, our dishwasher has this function. But I needed to enable it, and it doesn’t by default work in all modes. Maybe it’s good to check?

Super easy to instal and use (and local HA), But it cost a bit more than other options

No mansion here, just 80m2. But I had decited to get everything I get into home assistance

HACS and then https://github.com/arjenbos/ha-postnl

I tried taking longer screenshot. But my phone didn’t allow me to show all.

For anyone wondering. Our home assistant is abour 1.7Gb and has about 4000 entities or so

On another note. A zigbee network is a mesh network set up at pairing. Moving your host around will not re-generate the routes in the network and make your devices drop.

Pair your devices (and hub) in there position they will be in when installed.

Thank you for telling me what the problem was here. I was thinking about “office” and “home” in the same sentence and that didn’t make so much sence to me
