Here's the network settings tab. The text says:

Invalid local network URL
You have configured an HTTPS certificate in Home Assistant. 
This means that your internal URL needs to be set to a domain covered by the certficate.

The typo in the last word is not my doing.

My hostname is set to homeassistant. That is included in my certificate SAN extension, as is homeassistant.local, localhost, ::1, 127.0.0.1, 192.168.55.4, my external DNS name, and others.

• Where do I set the "internal URL"? Is it the same as the Home Assistant URL setting?
• If I cannot set it, where can I look it up?
• Does it want the full https://192.168.55.4:8123/ in my certificate SAN, or is 192.168.55.4 good enough?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the silly question. I'm really enjoying HA but I want to get the UI to look a bit more modern, perhaps something closer to Google Home... Is this something that's easy to do? It seems like changing themes isn't very straightforward at the moment with HA and not something that can simply be downloaded and applied.

Hi everyone! 👋

I have IKEA Tradfri LED GU10 345lm bulbs installed in my bathroom, which allow for adjustable color temperature. I'm wondering if it's possible to create a "candle effect" in Home Assistant — a subtly flickering, living light that mimics a real candle flame.

I’d love to create a cozy atmosphere in the bathroom (especially around the bathtub), and I think this effect would be perfect. Has anyone tried something like this before? Is there any integration, automation, or blueprint that could achieve it?

Please help

I recently bought a smart camera. I reall thought it starts recording once the device is already connected to the app however it only recorded the 1st day it was installed, the latter days just shows "end of video". I use SD card for storage and i'm sure this card is not faulty. How do I make sure that the cam continuously records videos?

Google Nest - Need Help Wiring

Hello! I recently upgraded my thermostat to a Google Nest Learning 3rd Gen and the display is not working.

I have tried holding the Nest for 30 Seconds to get it to restart but nothing. I have been charging the Nest for about an hour now. It is currently blinking green. When I do connect the Nest it turns orange then flashing green. I was able to hear the Nest move around the menu but not anymore. I feel the display is no longer working.

Hi. Just bought a pi5 for HA. I’m trying to flash a usb ssd with ha os but it fails on the verification step. I already used 2 disk, 2 different sata to usb connectors and 2 different flashing software but it always fail at the end of verification process (windows 11 os used to flash) Sd cards can be flashed without problem. Any ideas?

Hi does anyone know of a lux sensor that's not dependent on motion for the lux value to update? Would be cool if there is a small one that just plugs into an outlet. Zigbee would be preferred.

Thanks

Hi All

I have a simple automation that when I close my garage door it turns off my outdoor lights. I would like to add a delay where once my garage is closed the automation waits X minutes then turns off the lights. I cannot seem to figure out how to do this. My YAML code for turning off my lights is simple. But I have not figured out how to use the delay command.

This is my code

type: turn_off

device_id: d17dc5cb1dd9fa550bddad923713e2ed

entity_id: light.exterior_driveway_light

domain: light

delay: 5 minutes

But I get an error

Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data['actions'][0]['type']

Can someone identify my error?

Thanks

Hey y'all,

I'm looking at purchasing Tapo T100 motion sensors and I want to use it with HA. Do I have to buy the Tapo Hub too?

Hello

I’m looking for some assistance with my Smartblinds SMB-101-111, which can be controlled via their app. I'd like to connect them to Home Assistant and, from my research, it seems that I should use the Motionblinds Bluetooth integration. However, I’m having trouble locating the MAC code for the blinds.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Hello my name is judeson! 25 yes old Living valley road west orange nj...

I want to explain my situation I'm facing atm.

To begin ! It's been 3 years having a lil heart problem that left untreated nd it changed my eyes 👀 vibes however not still look normal im able do all kind of job coz I have strength...

My problem is I keep getting rejected online to in person by looking for job or even after interview so I've never had a call back ... I pray to God to help me finding a job but nothing happened and now I'm about to go homeless... coz I can't pay my $350 house rent .... I completely doubt is God real Plz help 🙏 😢

I recently connected my Combustion Inc. predictive thermometer to HA through a custom integration and made a quick automation for it to send my TV a notification when a desired temperature set by a slider on a conditional card in my dash board is achieved. This way I can have intermediate temperature notifications that are not the final cooked temperature for me to get up and do adjustments to. It was very cool and got me thinking of the possibilities.

What if there was a recipe manager add-on that could also perform automated actions in HA when a "Cook the recipe" button is clicked. The extend of the automation would be limited to the smart kitchen gadgets of course but actions can be programmed along side the recipe for the capabilities of your kitchen; such as sending simple notifications, changing LED lights or setting mode or temperature of a smart oven based on the internal temperature of your roast.

I know there are smart ovens that sort of do this with integrated probes but this could unlock integration with other appliances in the home which I think is the beauty of Home Assistant. The idea is also heavily inspired by those commercial combi ovens that do the same thing anyway. Plus managing shopping lists, recipes and the automation of the recipe from a single add-on would be cool in my opinion.

From my quick search it seems like Mealie is a popular recipe management platform but from what I can tell it does not have any recipe automation. And I know this could be achieved with an automation per every recipe but that sounds like it would be very tedious without a dedicated environment. Another advantage could be to define generic appliance objects (Ovens, ranges, smokers, hoods etc.) that ties to your HA entities so all the entity ugliness can be done in the background while the user interacts with more user friendly UI/UX to program the recipes. This could also empower the less tech savvy but more chef savvy in the home to automate.

Anyway thought I would share this idea. Cooking is another passion of mine and this idea of automating recipes that I already mastered sounded fun. I am a little worried to automate the fun out of cooking but here we don't ask whether we should automate we ask whether we could lol. With any luck what I am asking for already exists and I just didn't find it yet. Please share your cooking related automation would love to hear them.

The Kasa occupancy switch (ES20M) has a two buttons above its sensor to adjust brightness of the light. I don’t see these two buttons exposed in Home Assistant, just the light switch, and have tried to trigger them to no avail using scripts and automations.

Is there a way to expose these buttons to be used? Also is there a way to create press and hold action for the light switch, or does that capability have to exist? Thanks

My HA Yellow has been working with Zwave, Zigbee and Thread. It stopped working after an upgrade I did on December 19th, but I don't know for sure what upgrade that was.

/dev/ttyAMA0 is the onboard ZWave device (plugged onto the board of the Yellow)

/dev/ttyAMA1 is the onboard Zigbee/Thread device. I flashed this with just Zigbee, and this device works fine.

The only other device I see is ttyAMA2, but I'm not sure if this it he HA Connect ZBT-1, or some other device

This is what a start attempt looks like:

I put the ZBT-1 stick in my windows pc, and reflashed it, which worked good. Just to check that device is not broken.

I'm planning on putting a dashboard on a Android TV for my family. I will use a screensaver app that accepts a dashboard URL. If I create a tv-user, can I make this user automatically login? Any other suggestions?

I’m gonna have to figure out how to set it up with the few (compared to yall) smart things and automations I have pieced together in other systems.

Super hoping I’ll be able to delete all the random smart device apps I’ve been forced to download on my phone. 🤞🏼

If yall can point me to any must have / must read / must watch not-super-techie newbie resources please do!

We have a water pump that we run ‘manually’ (ie have a timer helper set at 1 hr, and trigger an automation to turn the pump on while the timer is running).

Ideally we’d like a way to flick it on for a selection of set times - ie 1hr or 3hr or whatever we choose at the time. I can’t see an easy way to do that at the moment?

Tile on dashboard:

type: tile vertical: true entity: timer.pump_timer name: Pump 1 hour icon: mdi:pump show_entity_picture: false tap_action: action: call-service service: timer.start target: entity_id: timer.pump_timer data: {} icon_tap_action: action: call-service service: timer.start target: entity_id: timer.pump_timer data: {} state_content:

• last-changed
• state
• duration

Pump timer is a helper set to 1hr duration

Automation alias: Water Pump - turn on for ONE HOUR description: "" mode: single triggers:

I setup home assistant awhile ago but just now started to legitimately use the application.

The past few days I've been getting an HA notification around midnight everyday that just says 'Notify' to my phone

I've checked the logbook and I can't find the source of this notification anywhere, is there anywhere to determine where this notification is coming from?

I was excited when the new device arrived from Pi Hut (UK) today - but I've not been able to get it to control any devices yet. Local set up didn't go well so I opted for the free trial of Nabu Casa and still no luck.

The OK Nabu wake word sets the blue ring going - it thinks a bit then either doesn't understand me or can't find a device named x. The device is about 30cm from me in a quiet room.

All the devices are exposed to the voice assistant. I can't see in the debugging what it thinks it heard. Typing the exact same phrases and device names to the assistant does work.

At this rate I may be sending it back... unless I'm missing something.

Im trying to add a zha wall plug to an existing group, but when I go into Zigbee Home Automation integration —> configure —> groups, it says no data.

But my zha groups are working fine with various automations and when I click on my coordinator, it lists all the groups, but doesn’t give me an option to edit them, just turn them on or off.

Anyone know of another way to add this zha device to an existing zha group?

edit Solved. I rebooted my Tubezb coordinator, then rebooted HA and groups now show up fine.

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,

I’m setting up Assist for my Home Assistant, and I’m debating between using Nabu Casa or integrating OpenAI. My main priorities are:

1. Performance: Which solution is better at understanding and executing commands accurately?
2. Speed: Which option offers faster response times, especially for multilingual inputs (I use Portuguese PT)?
3. Security: I want to make sure my setup is secure and respects my privacy.

Thanks

I configured my Aqara U200 using the app's Bluetooth connection. The installation, calibration, and firmware update all proceeded without issue. However, I encountered a problem when attempting to connect it via Matter to Home Assistant. Suspecting a configuration error with my SkyConnect, I tried integrating it with Matter devices through Google Home, but again, I experienced problems. It functions correctly with the keypad and the app, but it refuses to connect to any other systems.

Hi all, I'm running:

• Core - 2024.12.5

• Supervisor - 2024.12.0

• Operating System - 14.1

• Frontend - 20241127.8

• Reolink Cam E1 Outdoor Pro

camera_view: auto
type: picture-glance
camera_image: camera.cam3_fluent
entities:
- entity: button.cam3_ptz_down

- entity: button.cam3_ptz_left
icon: mdi:arrow-left
- entity: button.cam3_ptz_right
icon: mdi:arrow-right
- entity: button.cam3_ptz_up
icon: mdi:arrow-up

When I click the PTZ buttons, HA displays the more info screen, yet, when I add the reolink card and looked at the yaml, this is the exact entity I press to PTZ the cam?

This is my first real custom card writing from scratch, and wondered what am I missing? (I thought the tap_action), but it didn't seem to like that

Many thanks for the pointers

Hi all, I'm new to HA on my phone. I was wondering if I could make my phone place a phone call whenever I approach a specific GPS zone defined in HA (i.e. state change).

Thanks!
