Thanks for the help, @pe1uca@lemmy.pe1uca.dev.

I do still have my old server (I'm posting this from it). The new Lemmy server is using a different domain.

Thanks for the assistance, @iso@lemy.lol.

My new server uses a new domain. I do still have the old data (in fact, the old server is still up - that's where I'm posting this from).

I installed both Lemmy servers via Docker. It would be nice if I could rsync my account data (including post/comment history) from the old server to the new server, but I'm now wondering if my changing domains would make the old account not work at all in the new server.

I see the import/export settings in my new server (0.19.3) but not in my old server (0.18.3). But it sounds like exported account settings don't include post/comment history. Thanks, though, @willya@lemmyf.uk.

 

I host my own Lemmy instance and have a user account on it that I use everywhere (I don't host local communities, I just use it as a home for my Lemmy user account). I needed to re-home my Lemmy server, and though it's a docker installation, copying the /var/lib/docker/volumes/lemmy_* directories to the new installation didn't work. So I created a new Lemmy server.

How can I move my old account to the new server, so I can keep all my subscriptions and post/comment history?

Congratulations! And thank you.

 

Hi. I self-host gitea in docker and have a few repos, users, keys, etc. I installed forgejo in docker and it runs, so I stopped the container and copied /var/lib/docker/volumes/gitea_data/_data/* to /var/lib/docker/volumes/forgejo_data/_data/, but when I restart the forgejo container, forgejo doesn't show any of my repos, users, keys, etc.

My understanding was the the current version of forgejo is a drop-in replacement for gitea, so I was hoping all gitea resources were saved to its docker volume and would thus be instantly usable by forgejo. Guess not. :(

Does anyone have any experience migrating their gitea instance to forgejo?

 

Howdy.

I have the following helpers:

  • input_text.countdown_date_01_name
  • input_datetime.countdown_date_01_date,
  • input_text.countdown_date_02_name
  • input_datetime.countdown_date_02_date
  • I want to add a couple more if I can get this to work

I want to be able to speak "how many days until X", where X is the value of either input_text.countdown_date_01_name or input_text.countdown_date_02_name, and have Home Assistant speak the response "there are Y days until X", where X is the value of either input_text.countdown_date_01_name or input_text.countdown_date_02_name, whichever was spoken.

I know how to determine the number of days until the date that is the value of input_datetime.countdown_date_01_date or input_datetime.countdown_date_02_date. But so far I've been unable to figure out how to configure the sentence/intent so that HA knows which one to retrieve the value of.

In config/conversations.yaml I have:

intents:
  HowManyDaysUntil:
    - "how many days until {countdownname}"

In config/intents/sentences/en/_cmmon.yaml I have:

lists:
  countdownname:
    values:
      - '{{ states("input_text.countdown_date_01_name") }}'
      - '{{ states("input_text.countdown_date_02_name") }}'

In config/intent_scripts.yaml I have:

HowManyDaysUntil:
  action:
    service: automation.trigger
    data:
      entity_id: automation.how_many_days_until_countdown01

(this automation currently is hardocded to calculate and speak the days until input_datetime.countdown_date_01_date)

The values of my helpers are currently:

  • input_text.countdown_date_01_name = "vacation"
  • input_datetime.countdown_date_01_date = "6/1/2024'

When I speak "how many days until vacation" I get Unexpected error during intent recognition.

I'd appreciate your help with this!

From what I understand, a timer's duration is the amount of time the timer was set to run for when it was started - the total time, not the time remaining.

If you're wanting to determine the time remaining in an active timer, you need something like:

{% set finish_time = state_attr('timer.timer_entity_id', 'finishes_at') %}
{{ '00:00' if finish_time == None else (as_datetime(finish_time) - now()).total_seconds() | timestamp_custom('%H:%M', false) }}

Or this version, which breaks hours and minutes into speakable parts:

{% set finish_time = state_attr('timer.timer_entity_id', 'finishes_at') %} 
{% set hours, minutes = ('00:00' if finish_time == None else (as_datetime(finish_time) - now()).total_seconds() | timestamp_custom('%H:%M', false)).split(':') | map('int') %} 
{{ '' if hours == 0 else hours ~ ' hour' if hours == 1 else hours ~ ' hours' }} {{ ' and ' if hours > 0 }} {{ minutes ~ ' minute' if minutes == 1 else minutes ~ ' minutes' }}

I currently use Photo structure, which is good, but its not open source and the one guy behind it, Matthew, is quite slow with progress. He's super friendly and helpful, and bug fixes are pretty quick. But feature additions are glacial.

I was considering switching to photoprism but was turned off by the attitude of some of the developers. The product looks prery good, though.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to switch to Immich, which is also really good.

A friend uses Piwigo which is decent and has good features, though I find it's very ugly regardless which skin you use.

I recently installed TrueNAS in Proxmox in this interesting Ouroboros-like configuration. So far it's been great.

Smart Home Junkie's method worked perfect! And it was quite easy and quick. Thanks for the referemce @paf@jlai.lu!

I forgot to mention that I had also renamed one of my automations in the hope that I'd be able to find the original name in my log files when whatever was trying to turn it off could no longer turn it off. But I can't find anything in the log files containing the original name.

 

I have some of the ATOM Echos that HA describes here. They work for voice recognition but the speaker in these tiny boxes is...tiny. It's barely audible when standing right next to the box, and completely inaudible when standing 10 feet away or if there is noise in the room.

Examples of the voice responses I'm talking about are "I'm sorry but I don't understand that" or "The current time is 2:15pm" or "I turned on the lights in the living room."

Is it possible to re-route the voice responses to a different media player? Currently, I have a Google Home Mini in each room that I have an ATOM Echo in. It would be nice if I could somehow determine which ECHO received the voice command, which area that Echo was in (e.g., "living room"), and then re-route the voice response to a media player in that area.

But I have no idea how to do this.

 

I have a robot vaccum that sends an alert to HA when it's done cleaning or when it encounters a problem. How can I intercept or re-route those notificiations? I want to post them to Matrix, which I do have an integration for.

Thanks for assistance.

 

I've had a problem for a year or more, so that's through numerous Home Assistant updates: I have about 15 automations that I've disabled, but they always become enabled again within a few days. I haven't been able to determine a trigger for the re-enabling.

Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone have a suggestion?

 

I'm trying to find a new projector for my home theater. I don't need high end, but it should be at least 1080p (i.e., 4K isnt necessary). I mention that because of my budget: I'm looking for something around $500, but I might be able to go up to $1000. The other main requirement is that I'm able to turn it on/off via Home Assistant.

Other nice features to have, but nott requirements:

  • Ability to adjust vertical and horizontal keystones (I mount this projector on a ceiling)
  • Decent brightness & contract (it doesn't have to be the brightest on the market, but it shouldn't be the dimmest)
  • HDMI connector (I have a 50 foot HDMI cable now, but if sending data to projectors via wifi is a thing, that would be better)

Thansk for your suggestions.

 

I installed the Auto Backup HACS integration and I have a network storage configured in Home Assistant (FYI, I'm running HAOS). If I use HA's Developer Tools and manually call the "Auto Backup: Backup Full" service, there is a "Location" field where I can select my network storage. The backup successfully completes and saves to my network storage.

But in an Automation (based on the Auto Backup bluerpint), I can't find a way to configure the Location - it defaults to HA's data disk (i.e., /root/backup). DO I have to manually add the location in the yaml? If so, how do I access the actual yaml? When I select "Edit in YAML", all I see is the barebones blueprint YAML:

alias: Automatic Backups
description: using the Auto Backup HACS integration
use_blueprint:
  path: jcwillox/automatic_backups.yaml
  input:
    backup_time: "02:00:00"
    enable_yearly: false

When I view the automation's traces I can see much more detailed YAML, but I can't edit it.

Thanks for assistance.

 

Does anyone have any experience with self-cleaning cat litter boxes? I'm curious if any particular model of self-cleaning litter box is any good. We now have 4 cats and it would be nice to not have to clean litter boxes manually 1-2 times every day.

Do they separate pee/poop from litter well? Are cats afraid to use them? Do they stink more than regular litter boxes because pee/poop are in them for longer periods? Are they a hassle to clean? Do you have to buy propietary supplies (custom litter? special trays?)?

Thanks for your input.

 

Does anyone have any experience with self-cleaning cat litter boxes? The ability to connect one to Home Assistant doesn't really seem useful to me - maybe it would be nice for HA to alert you when the litter box needs to be changed. But I'm really just curious if any particular model of self-cleaning litter box is any good - even by itself, without any "smart" features. We now have 4 cats and it would be nice to not have to clean litter boxes manually 1-2 times every day.

 

I bought an old iPad2 for the purpose of viewing a Home Assistant dashboard via a web browser. My thinking was that the ability to browse the web was the sole requirement for a tablet for this purpose, but I was wrong: Home Assistant's web pages apparently require a newer version of javascript than iOS 9.3.5 can handle, but the iPad 2 can only be updated to iOS 9.3.5.

So is it possible to flash a newer OS (e.g., linux) onto an old iPad 2? ChatGPT says it's not possible because a bootloader exploit for the iPad 2 isn't known, but ChatGPT is often wrong.

 

I have a Dreametech L10s Ultra vacuum that HA recognizes via the Xiaomi Miot Auto integration. I'm trying to add a custom:xiaomi-vacuum-map-card to a dashboard, and the vacuum is recognized but the camera (which I guess is the map) isn't working due to "Invalid calbiration". But the calibration is whatever was automatically set by the card when I chose the vacuum. Hmmm.

I have the camera/map set in configuration.yaml as follows:

camera:
  - platform: xiaomi_cloud_map_extractor
    host: !secret xiaomi_vacuum_host
    token: !secret xiaomi_vacuum_token
    username: !secret xiaomi_cloud_username
    password: !secret xiaomi_cloud_password
    draw: ['all']
    attributes:
      - calibration_points
      - charger
      - cleaned_rooms
      - country
      - goto_path
      - goto_predicted_path
      - goto
      - ignored_obstacles_with_photo
      - ignored_obstacles
      - image
      - is_empty
      - map_name
      - no_go_areas
      - no_mopping_areas
      - obstacles_with_photo
      - obstacles
      - path
      - room_numbers
      - rooms
      - vacuum_position
      - vacuum_room_name
      - vacuum_room
      - walls
      - zones

This vacuum has not been Valetudo-ed - it's in new condition from the vendor.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
