My Smart Home Assistant setup - year 5

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night will stop me from making traditional end of year video. Actually, flu almost did, but with few minutes to spare, here is the new - My Setup, Year 5 video.
Today we will look at what's new in 2023 in my home, but also check out other instances of Home Assistant that I run. And there are few of them.
00:00 - Intro
00:30 - My Home Assistant setup
16:38 - Other production instances
18:51 - What about test HA systems, hubs and more?
23:17 - What will 2024 bring and my hopes...
Don't forget to give this video thumb up if you liked it, subscribe if you still haven't and I'll see you next time!
Have fun!

Thank you very much kind sir, this still worked like a charm! I'm running Mosquitto on my Synology NAS and Home Assistant on my Kubernetes cluster and this was a great way to connect the sensor, because it wasn't working properly when using the integration.

[@BeardedTinker]

Glad it helped

[@VasiliMetkobjeg]

Super Sretna Nova!!

Thank you Roman and Happy New Year!

[@gerryf7015]

Happy New Year. Thanks for what you do for the HA community. Nice thoughts on true automation.

[@BeardedTinker]

Thank you and happy New Year to you too! I really hope we get to see smart homes soon !!

[@accordxtc319]

Happy New Year to you and your family! Thank you for sharing the knowledge and giving some great ideas for my HA setup

[@BeardedTinker]

Thank you very much and Happy New Year to you and your family and friends!

[@eugsmiley]

16:00 Did no one notice that the 'Beer button' is offline?!? This is an emergency! We need to fix that!

[@BeardedTinker]

Nice catch - I didn't press it for a long time. It's still active just needs to wake up

[@milannovakovic3188]

Svaka cast!

[@BeardedTinker]

Hvala puno!!

[@Ajdpogodi]

Super video, dobio sam dosta ideja za poboljsanje:-)

[@BeardedTinker]

Hvala puno! A sad, cijela godina vremena da se ideje provedu :) Sva najbolje!!!!

[@ronm6585]

Thank you and Happy New Year.

[@BeardedTinker]

Thank you and Happy new year Ron!!!

[@DustinWatts]

Your Creators card has a bug in it, seems Dustin Watts is missing :P Anyway.. great to see what is possible with HA. I just have a few simple light switches and that is it. A lot of inspiration here!

[@BeardedTinker]

Hmm - you bad content crator... When did you release last video :D I think it was a year or more ago?😉😂 Thank you and hopefully you'll add something to your instance too...

[@DustinWatts]

@@BeardedTinker Painfully true... I am a no content creator atm. 😢🤣

[@MoraisMatos]

happy new year :)

[@l0gic23]

World air quality index contribution; open source citizen science contribution = awesome

[@BeardedTinker]

I agree! The power of open source and community can really make a difference!

[@SlackerLabs]

I feel attacked….i have let my home assistant get behind too. 2024 my focus is on my smart home and getting things fixed. Haha.

[@BeardedTinker]

Ah, we should do each other HA - that would probably be a big fail :) But I feel you :) Looks like the only thing I've been doing last 6 months is fixing stuff. Few commits I had this year, all were fixes :D

[@TheJean1049]

Nice video and setup. What is your addons ou integration on top line to manage diff dashboard?

[@razvan00despa]

I am having issues with Shelly Plus 1 (gen 2) ... after last update ... needed to changed the shelly modules with some zigbee module.

[@BeardedTinker]

After last FW update my Gen2 have all started to act up - not sure what changed.

[@razvan00despa]

@@BeardedTinkerI have only updated HA. I have found more people complaining about disconnections after 2023.12 upgrade ... but no solution yet.

[@BeardedTinker]

@@razvan00despa I've seen some reports for 2024.1.1 for battery powered devices. Out of my 20 shelly devices, currently all are available and working on 2024.1.0

[@Pyrotech1620]

This is a great setup.. Wondering what the card is that shows your energy flow on the main page? It looks amazing!

[@BeardedTinker]

Hope we're talking about the same card - that's Sankey Chart from HACS. There is old(re) video I made on it, here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYaxk4OcodpjldE

[@sevagjb]

thanks for the update this year, how i can get your update card i like the idea

[@BeardedTinker]

It's just entities card with all of the entities (mostly binary sensors) listed there. 2024.1 has improved that and there I use HACS vertical stack card with title card containing "update.xxx" entities.

[@sevagjb]

Thanks, I have something similar to your card, I found your card much cleaner than mine@@BeardedTinker

[@TheDropForged]

Thank you for the video. Just wanted to ask you what card was that for the power consumption?

[@BeardedTinker]

One on left side of the screen - that's Sankey Chart from HACS - did I basic video on it some time ago, here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYaxk4OcodpjldE

[@TheDropForged]

@@BeardedTinker thank you for the reply. I heading over there to watch the video now.

[@techcodenet]

Oko 05:00 min vidi se adresa po geo-lokaciji - racunam da nije 100% tacna, ali ipak mozda je bolje zamrljati takve stvari?

[@BeardedTinker]

Hvala, ali nije problem, to je lažna lokacija u drugom dijelu grada 😉

[@shailukov7440]

What is the real usage of the remote instance used with EiotClub sim card if it doesn't connected to any local devices?

[@BeardedTinker]

I'm locally setting up future location for HA. So instead of doing everything on remote site and rushing things, I can do it from here and then just when finished moved to where it will be located. Plus that site will be using 4G/5G network as it will not have permanent ISP connection locally.

[@yousaf.saleem]

which icons you are using fror the ceiling one to ceiling five lights?

[@BeardedTinker]

That's from HACS custom brand icon pack: phu:spot-bulb-top

[@yousaf.saleem]

@@BeardedTinker any links to the hacs repo/ github?

[@bedar89]

did you just share your address?

[@BeardedTinker]

Did I? 😉 Aleja Pomoraca? 😉 Nah, no worries, that's a fake one but thanks for spotting it! Just hoping one day I don't publish real one 😂

[@bedar89]

@@BeardedTinker ok, I'm glad it's a fake one! Thanks for the video!

[@Arkadiuszczekay]

Can you tell me if this system also sends information about you to the manufacturer?

[@BeardedTinker]

I've shown a few systems, so the question is - what system do you think here off? Main system, no. But some others do. For example - Tuya, it does, same as if it would be with any Smart TV, Microsoft Windows or mobile phone - it sends data what you're doing on it, how much you're using etc.

[@Arkadiuszczekay]

@@BeardedTinker thank you. I see.
