Tried to google, but didn't find a proper solution. Linux environment is chrooted Debian 10 running on Synology NAS.
I created a normal user ("homer") and when trying to su to it with a command "su - homer", it takes about 50 seconds to complete.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi all
I’ve recently started to build out my own ‘Homer’ dashboard (https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer) and I must admit I really like what it’s given me.
Thinking about future use-cases. I can see potential for this being an alternative (albeit simple ) UI for Vera/OpenLuup..
Is anyone else using Homer ?

Hi, simple starter question. As I am fully gone to homeassistant for eveything expect a legacy part of my zwave network devices in Vera. I have currently openzwave and vera and an empty (not turned on) zwavejs network. I knwo I can "migrate" openzwave "simply" to zwavejs by just using the aeotec gen5plus zwave stick to that. With the hassle of changing all device entity names I then have zwavejs and vera run separate. Nevertheless, I would like to end up with my vera devices in zwavjes... long story short, what would be the best way to move all my vera devices to zwavjs?

Hi all
Ran into an issue last month where my Open Luup box ran out of disk space in /var/log. It's Debian with a separate partition so everything carried on working but it had some very interesting effects on my network.Culprit was the z-way server log which was at about 5G....
So I thought I'd set up logrotate on it. Dead simple. And so it seems. Log is rotate just fine but z-way-server carries on writing to the old log. Any ideas how to fix that (apart from re-starting the server every time we rotate?).
Entry from logrotate.d is here:
catman@openluup:/etc/logrotate.d$ cat z-way-server /var/log/z-way-server.log { weekly rotate 4 compress delaycompress missingok notifempty create 644 root root }z-way-server config:
<config> <automation-dir>automation</automation-dir> <log-file>/var/log/z-way-server.log</log-file> <log-level>2</log-level> <debug-port></debug-port> </config> config.xml (END)TIA

This could be interesting.

100% sure this is an Alexa issue, but just wanted to see if anyone else has it:
Alexa, turn $device on
$device turns on
'$device is not responding. Check its power supply and network connection'Alexa, turn $device off
$device turns off.
'OK'This happens with Alexa groups as well as HA Bridge devices.....

Evening, everyone. Can't think of a better qualified bunch of people to ask so: What am I going to replace my Logitech Harmony with?
Logitech have stated they are moving out of the market and I am therefore disinclined to purchase the Elite, never mind the price tag....
Requirements are:
IR control of 5 devices (one of which is somewhat esoteric so learning IR pretty much a necessity) Ability to control HiFi as well as video kit (should be covered by 1 but whatever) Pre-programmed activities for one button access Favourite channels Rechargeable (nice to have) If it needs a computer to set up: Mac compatibleAnyone got a Pronto they'd sell me?

Hi
In my ongoing quest to try and retrieve as much information as I can about the amount of energy I’m using , I found out that I could use SNMP to see how much power (watts) my UPS is handling .
To do this, I installed snmpd/snmp on my Vera linked Raspberry Pi, and then ran the following command.
local command = io.popen("ssh -i /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key pi@192.168.102.37 'snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 1 10.10.10.103' 2>&1") local response = command:read("*a") print(response)Which returned a huge amount of information, which prompted me to ask the community here if there anything on Vera/OpenLuup that people have that can process this sort of information into a new devices and associated variables to then monitor/track going forward ?

Looks like the wasp in the Box has a new competitor, I received this information this morning and am posting it whilst looking for comment - 🙂
Detecting Chest and Abdomen expansion sounds a little to far fetched for me, but I like the idea if it really works.LifeBeing Sensor
Zigbee module & MCU SDK
bacc874e-8dc0-4c49-b24f-631b342e57e0-image.pngState-of-Art Technology
It's based on 5.8Ghz microwave motion detection technology. And the patented low impedance antenna and exclusive occupancy sensing Algorithm are used to sensor human presence by detecting expansion of chest and abdomen during human respiration. Combined, they can effectively avoid the airflow interference from air conditioning and exhaust, to achieve accurate human detection
Multi-state RecognitionIt can interact with different lights, air conditioners, background music, etc. based on the activeness of human motion. For example, lights turned fully on when it detects active human motion
Independent Flush-mounted DesignNot limited to LED lamps and can be well hidden in the existing lighting environment to avoid any damage

Hi all
I’ve been on a mission for a while now to try and track down where all the energy we use is going (so I can explain the exorbitantly high electricity bill !) .
I’ve done a few posts on this subject already, see below..
https://smarthome.community/topic/534/unifi-energy-report-how-can-i-retrieve-the-value-via-http/6 https://smarthome.community/topic/584/luup-hue-energy-watts-calculator/17?_=1623603224863Plus I’ve got various energy meter plugs around the house to help me too, but when compared to my CurrentCost (whole house) energy meter, I’m still unable to account for 200+ watts when i believe everything of note are switch off (so no dishwasher, no washing machine running etc.)
Tracked items so far include.. Media Centre (TV/NAS etc.), Office Desk (Laptop/PC/Monitor etc.), Hue Lights, Fridge…
What items/devices could I be missing ? What else could i create a pseudo energy (watts) calculations for ?For example (2), I‘ve got a couple of Sonos Music players, which are always on, so I’m thinking as they are a media device that report their status, i can calculate a pause/stop watts rating vs a play rating..
Any thoughts on what the missing power hungry items are in a normal house, and/or any new pseudo watt calculator ideas?

Morning, gurus. Hope all is well.
Recently some of my voice activated actions have felt very laggy. Digging into it reveals that it's not the action that's slow, but the response from Alexa, To test I ran a simple speak from Reactor by pressing the 'play' button and there's a 10+ second lag between the command being queued and the voice confirmation in Alexa.
While this is not critical in terms of operation it is making some of my activities with multiple voice feedbacks take enough time to think stuff is broken 🙂
Quick log snippet (which I hope is enough shows the lag:

I am a pretty active forum user over on the QNAP forum and there has been a number of viral threads there and on reddit about the spread of ransomware on these NAS.
I wanted to post here to say that this is a fresh reminder to be very cautious with the current state of the affair when it comes to smarthomes and the trend towards IOT we are observing from all these companies attempting to make our homes cloud dependent, opening so called "secure tunnels" to their servers which can turn into very real exposures to your LAN (home network).
In order to mitigate it, QNAP released a firmware which now has autoupdate enabled by default (reminds me one other company...) and IMHO is the climax of absurdity but in fact when I come to think about it is how the amazon echos and ecobees work for example without even offering the ability to disable.
I am in no way a security expert but have had enough exposure and interest about it to recommend using a real firewall for your home network to block these backdoors if you have a smarthome and avoid these cloud oriented platforms and devices as if they were COVID.

Hi,
Is there a guide somewhere on how to submit images/attachments from a smart device ?

What are other people doing (who are not using a traditional PC/MAC) ?

Hi,
I have a piece of code that returns the Watts used by all the PoE devices on my home network. I’m trying to set it up on Vera so that can retrieve that value in a similar way I would retrieve a Vera variable via a http request.
The function works returns the total value when run via LuaTest, but when I try to retrieve it via luup.register_ handler, for some reason it returns the entire UniFi json file ??
Please could some help me with what’s wrong, my goal is to be able to retrieve the value , like an api so I can use it elsewhere ..
luup.register_handler("UnifiControllerPoE","UnifiWatts") function UnifiControllerPoE() local unifi_username = "unifi" local unifi_password = "unifi" local unifi_controller_ip = "192.168.1.207" local unifi_controller_port = "8443" local cookie = "/tmp/unifi_cookie_lua" -- Temp cookie file local tempfilename = "/tmp/UnifiController.tmp" -- Temp JSON output file local device = 'api/s/default/stat/device' local f = io.popen("stat -c %Y " .. tempfilename) local last_modified = f:read() --if (os.difftime (os.time(), last_modified) > 30) then -- URL for logging in, query and logging out url_login = 'curl --cookie ' .. cookie ..

z-way device removal
-
Not sure this is in quite the right place (again) but I have a device that exists in z-way that I simply cannot remove. It seems to be a zombie. I have no idea what it was.
It claims to be a routing binary sensor that has not woken up since August
I go through the 'Only do this if your device is broken' and it simply will not go.
Any ideas (apart from ignore it)?Cheers

Brute force would be to go edit it out of your configuration file as it is probably not in the zwave chip.
Let me know if it bothers you enough to try editing. -
@rafale77 How much brute? If we're just talking about vi on a text file then no worries.
Otherwise I can probably live with it.Cheers

They are json files under z-way-server/automation/storage if the device you are seeing is on the automationUI.
If the phantom device is in the expertUI then it will be an xml file in z-way-server/config/zddx/yournetworkid-DeviceData.xml -
It's in both of them....
