Migration Vera to HA > how to send sensor data from Vera to HA?
M
Hi, I started home automation in 2013 and using Vera controllers from the start. When Reactor plugin became available (super plugin of @toggledbits !!) I transferred all scenes to Reactor. I must say everything here works still okay and I have a lot of devices, plugins and Reactors. But I fear at some point my Vera's will stop working. I recognize many of your names here from the Vera forum. I also was banned a couple of years ago. Recently I decided to switch to Home Assistant. I already transferred some of my zwave devices from Vera to HA and made some new automations. I must say HA is great and with huge amount of integrations, add-ons, the HACS store and many examples (like blueprints) the opportunites to increase home automation are huge. HA will be for sure my central system (incl UI) But... the learning curve is quite steap (YAML is completely different from Lua/luup). So for the time being I will keep my most complex Reactor automations. I already found how I can connect/integrate Vera for binairy sensors via webhooks (as an example: changes in my home modes are directly send from Vera to HA). Now I also want to use some data like sensors or Reactor variables automatically to HA via https requests (put those in Reactor). I know I can create virtual sensors in HA via templates. As an example: I have my own PWS with a rainmeter. In Reactor I compare the amount of rain (in mm) in the actual year with historical figures (past 15 years) and calculate the difference actual vs history in % Every day at 0.00h these figures are updated. I defined variables in Reactor and use Multistring plugin (Variable container) to show the data. I know several specialists in coding with experience in both Vera and HA are active here on this forum. Who can help me with this ?

Migrating from Vera Plus to Home Assistant (or other?)
S
I've been using Vera Plus for nearly 10 years now but it's time to move on. On top of that we've moved from the previous house whereupon I took all the Z-wave door sensors, locks and switches with me and reverted the pool to manual control, grabbing the Autelis which I won't use now since the new pool we built has Pentair IntelliCenter. I have the Vera Plus connected and have it controlling a couple of Honeywell Z-Wave thermostats and a couple of lights but It seems to just be slower and slower as it ages. I have an intel i3 NUC that is probably 6 years old but figure it's probably powerful enough to control HA going forward. I also dabbled with HomeSeer but it seems to cost a fortune for plugins. I have HS4 and a G3 Z-Wave Plus dongle from them. How do I get started? I'm thinking I'll just unpair all my devices from the Vera Plus and add them to HA and then set up Reactor to do the logic but is there a way to migrate? Should I use Open LUA instead? Lots of questions but I'm ready to get started an any help would be appreciated.

Security with Smart Door Locks
J
As our family grows and life gets busier, I've been thinking about upgrading to smart door locks. With kids often forgetting keys and elderly parents needing easier access, the idea of fingerprint and facial recognition seems like the perfect solution. I also love the idea of being able to lock and unlock the doors remotely, especially when we're away. Has anyone else implemented smart locks in a similar situation? How has it impacted your daily routine and overall home security?

Anyone having expience writing an ZHA quirk? Would love some pointers.
A
Hi Bought a new ZB device, an EV charger. I was aware that there would one manufacturer specific cluster that wouldn't work out of the box, but several other clusters I hoped would work from start does not. Or at least there isn't any enteties for them. So I have tried to study how to write a local quirk, but it is a bit overwhelming for mt brain. Usually I can manage do get stuff moving with intense googling, finding guides or different solutions that I can start from, but here I find nothing that I can wrap my head around. My latest try was to chat with Gemini AI (programmers, rest assured that your job will be safe for the foreseeable future ) I have gathered my device Diagnostic Info. I have manufacturers ZB documentation. A device support request is created on zigpy github (no response the last weeks) For now there is just two entities for my device, on/off switch and energy sensors. All non manufacture attributes and commands seems to be recognized in ZHA "Manage this Device" It would be great if I could get some entities out of them. For example the entity for manage charging power is expected to be presented as a dimmer slider. But why isn't there any entity created?? The manufacture specific cluster is more of nice-to-have and could maybe be solved another day. Any help would be much appreciated.

New HA instance
CatmanV2C
I just wanted to post how impressed I am with both HA and MSR. I really don't see that Ezlo have a chance in hell. I noticed that my Virtual HA instance was killing my machine's performance, so decided that my project for the weekend would be a stand alone Raspberry Pi instance. Less than an hour to install, restore and configure both HA and MSR and it all just works. Thanks to everyone that contributes to these fabulous projects. Especially our own @toggledbits for the amazing work that is the new Reactor! C

Using HA Harmony Hub to control volume
CatmanV2C
Very impressed by Harmony hub on HA. Seems to suck all of my network goodness in One thing I'm not clear on is how to send individual commands. Specifically I'd like to send volume commands to my TV via MSR. I've got as far as: <edit?> There should be a screen capture here, but I'm getting a Parse error @DesT .... Suggestions for values to turn the volume down on my TV, or pointers as to where to look? TIA C

Considering changing to HA - but what installation method?
PerHP
Domoticz (used for zigbee integration) have been bothering me so much that i've been looking at HomeAssistant to replace it. Now that Z-way is moving in with an integration, its even more tempting.. But i don't like the idea of having it as an OS that I can't use for other things, and running the HASS Core in a docker seems to be somewhat reduced in terms of addons? I realize that HASSOS is using docker for integrations or addons, but can I still use docker compose to set up my own dockers (i.e z-way, influx, grafana) there as well? I guess i'm getting old, change is difficult!

Lovelace initial setup
PerHP
I've just started to look at HASS UI, and have seen enough to see that it has an infinite number of ways to show enitites and devices in all forms and shapes.. But for starters i'd like to have something familiar, so how do i go about getting a sidebar for rooms like in openluup? I know i can put them in the actual left sidebar, but i'd prefer to keep that for configuration pages.. on each room page i'd like to sort the lights, the heaters, the sensors together, and i saw somewhere that HASS will do that for you if you play your cards (pun) right.. can't find it again now.. Any pointers to a beginner?

Hosting web interface inside HA?
PerHP
I've integrated Reactor and Z-Way Expert panel in my HA UI, but as it is iFrame, it will not work if I log in from the outside. It would be great to access these in case my wife finds an automation flaw while I'm elsewhere, which seems to be the rule of thumb.. If I understand this right, all the dockers(reactor, z-way) host their own web server on the port, so it should be possible to get this throuh the HA "tunnel"(VPN or whatever its called)? I noticed that my Octoprint camera is integrated differently, and can be seen on external connection as well even if i only give it a local address in setup?

HA Bridge oddity
CatmanV2C
(Not sure it's the right HA bridge but....) I have a selection of HA bridge devices to enable Alexa integration. They all work perfectly except one that has just (48 hours) started saying that it's un responsive with Alexa. If I go to the HA bridge and test on / test off it works absolutely perfectly. I've deleted and renamed from the Alexa App but no change. Simply says 'Device Un-responsive' Any thoughts? TIA C

Odd behavior in HA

Hello, I am currently running Home Assistant and Vera at the same time. I have installed a couple of ZEN32 5 button controllers but having issues getting the additional buttons to control my Vera devices. Am using the ZEN32 (Z-wave JS) blueprint which works well for devices on HASS. In developer tools I can use the Light:Toggle service and toggle my kitchen light through Vera. If I create the same action through the ZEN blueprint it doesn't work. Anyone have any thoughts? Roger

Hi! I have had big troubles connecting HA to MSR. Finally I found out that MSR will work as long as my HA-installation is http, and not https. Is it possible to bypass that limitation even with https?

Home Assistant Fork
rafale77R
Opening a thread to discuss updates to my home assistant fork. https://github.com/rafale77/core I am trying to keep it on par with the official one but have made quite a few tweaks focused on video handling and processing. Home Assistant being developed on python is a great base for integration of machine learning and deep learning models into smarthomes because it is one of the most common languages used in the field. As of today, I updated the readme file and the version to match the latest official release.

Interfacing Alexa with Reactor via Routines and Dimmer VS
LibraSunL
Most of my spoken commands to Alexa go something like this: "Alexa, time for bed" at which point she executes a pre-planned Routine (triggered by that spoken phrase). The routine may turn On a virtual switch (named, say, "VS: Time for Bed" on my Vera Plus, but known to the Alexa Smart Home skill as "Time for Bed" just to keep my sanity). The VS is a child device of Switchboard plug-in (by @toggledbits ) and acts as a binary (On/Off) light switch. Typically, I'll instruct Reactor to turn the switch back off -- or, more commonly, have it set to turn itself back off after NN seconds in the Switchboard UI. In other words, it's just a brief Trigger for a Reactor routine or Vera scene. Now, here's my question: In order to avoid creating dozens of virtual switches -- one for each Routine / Scene -- has anyone tried using a DIMMER instead? Seems to me that a dimming device, since it can be set to 100 different "brightness levels", could trigger 100 different responses in Reactor. But I'm hesitant to try this arrangement until I know others have had success, and that the faux "dimming" process won't inadvertently trigger intermediate values (e.g. "ramping") along the way. Eager to hear if this alternative workflow makes sense and is practical, insofar as "Binary" and "Dimmer" seem to be the only switch types that Vera allows Alexa to "see" on Discovery. Thanks! - Libra

    Thanks to everyone for your input! It'll be a couple of days before I can get deep into this because I have very limited time these days to dabble.

        Late posting, just saw this thread.

        Welcome to abused Vera users club. I switched almost 2 years ago now and never looked back. When Vera Plus came out, it had such protentional and a loyal user base with great developers. I was running Vera Plus for I think 8 or 9 years, and had been experiencing deteriorating support from both Vera/Ezlo itself, as well as broken plugins that I constantly had to try to work around. When I switched, I had been monitoring the evolution of Ezlo, but it never seemed ready for prime time for me.

        If you used Reactor on Vera, MSR is your answer. You can migrate your existing rules from Reactor on Vera to MSR easily.

        Others have mentioned you can use Vera as a Z-wave radio. This is true, however, it's only capable of so much. If you want to use newer devices, Vera just can't take full advantage. I'm running my Home Assistant setup on a Rpi 4 with a Aeotec Zwave stick, and 80 Z-wave devices on the network, with hardly an issue. 75% of the devices are 700 series or newer with support for S2 encryption (won't get that on Vera Plus). I run MSR on my Fedora NAS server, and they work well together.

        I'm constantly amazed at the possible integrations that I couldn't even dream about on Vera Plus.

              @sammy2 Feel free to message me direct and we can go to some kind of more interactive communications. I used Virtualbox (although I was on Mac) with the defaults and it took me about 10 minutes

                  I'm wondering if I need to reset the dongle in HomeSEER first before attempting to use it with HA?

                  Here's some additional screen grabs which may be of interest:

                  b52da720-a11a-4082-9847-a47dadef5002-image.png

                  Then after some additional trying I got this when adding a Z-Wave Device:

                  022d6859-83e5-4839-a43f-d432dd864b18-image.png

                  Unfortunately, I'm in a remote session and cannot continue to attempt to pair the device.

                        Well looks like you got this working, bar the update? What happens when you hit the update at the bottom?

                          It gives me instructions. I had to go to HomeSEER's website to perform the update. I just finished that task and am restarting the HA VM now.

                                  I'm not going to bother with using rigpapa's (ToggledBits) update from Vera to HA using MSR as I currently have two thermostats and three switches connected to Vera since the move from my previous house required a decommission of that whole system. I really have set up any reactors in Vera for these devices so I'll just un-include them from Vera and include them in HA. What do you think, @toggledbits ?

                                    with Mosquitto,

                                    Hmm..

                                    Should I be doing this instead?? 😧

                                      Well not necessarily! I didn't want multiple hosts but HA does Alexa voice way better than Vera plug in did, then Owntracks needs Mosquitto and blows iPhone geofencing into the weeds. I solve my problems my way.
                                      Off hand I can't think of anything else that uses Mosquitto, but I know it's there. HA is pretty damned powerful, I now have Deebot and Tuya devices in there, but I still use MSR on OpenLuup for all my reactions.

                                        There's plenty of ways to do it better, I'm sure. I have a Synology NAS so I could run Docker, but jut didn't.....

                                        And I should as my NUC is old. <chews fingernails>
