    I have a oneplus and the clock is not the same as vanilla android. It worked when i downloaded the Google clock on playstore. But i want to use the normal clock. Someone know how to find what package name my oneplus clock is using? Edit: I found it. In playstore on web, the url on oneplus clock ends with com.oneplus.deskclock . Changed the "intent_package_name: com.oneplus.deskclock" and it worked :)

    @beardedtinker the Watermark feature is only for the Reolink logo to be displayed or not. The camera name and date/time can stay turned on even with the Watermark turned off. The nice thing with the Reolink cameras is they allow you to not only have your date/time and camera info displayed, but you can also choose the location for the info so it doesn’t cover an area that you want to be able to see. It is also nice that they can be hidden as well. Nice work by Reolink on this feature!

    On iPhone you can send a notification that causes an alert sound. It's how I find my wife's phone about once a week. action: - service: notify.mobile_app_<your_device_id_here> data: title: "Wake up!" message: "The house is on fire and the cat's stuck in the dryer!" data: push: sound: name: "default" critical: 1 volume: 1.0

    The "equivalent" for the iPhones would be setting up shortcuts where several things can trigger events and can send commands through home assistant. It's quite a bit of a workaround, but it is possible.

    I've been using this for a while for a few things. Getting the notification from my smart dryer and washing machine into HA to announce that washing or drying has finished. For Chipolo Bluetooth trackers to tell me I may have left whatever it's attached to behind via TTS to phone. Could also use it for notification of Amazon delivery when it's a few stops away. I'm sure there are plenty of other uses I haven't thought of yet too.

    You can play whatever sound you like for many notifications (copy the sound of your choice to your phone, or use built in sounds). You have to define the notification channel, then in Android setting for home assistant notifcations you can define a specific sound for each channel. Like how you can define a different notification sound for each message Eg: data: channel: Doorbell

    love your videos, and thanks for making them. What i have done for getting my attention for important events from Home Assistant, I use the channel option for Android phones. What this does is you send a notification to your phone with a specific channel name, for example DoorBell. this will intern add another notification categories option in your Home Assistant companion app. You then can select a unique sound for when some one presses the door bell. When you make your automation under event data for the notification to your phone, your would ad channel DoorBell in the data fileld All this info is in the companion app docs. Sorry for running on so much and probably confusing the world what i said. Just trying to make some contribution. I wish more people what spend some time on information and ideas on the companion app

    You are able to create CRITICAL notifications to IOS Devices, and you are able to send sound and notices for "Important things with new Iphones" The messages are critical and they will stay on you screen until they are dismissed. But if you have a iWatch on only the default sound comes through to it. You can control how loud the message will be. The sound have to be within the Companion App and there is a way to download your own sound too. Sample Code: service: notify.mobile_app_iphone data: message: Your Roommate has arrived title: Front Door data: push: sound: name: "US-EN-Morgan-Freeman-Roommate-Is-Arriving.wav" critical: 1 volume: .75 <---- 75% Volume This is a great way to make sure your truly Critical Notices are received... like water leakage, fire, or something that you cannot automatically control from HA. Hope this helps someone :)

    It’s a shame there is no way to trigger the alarm, so if one goes off, all can go off. This is a feature most modern smoke alarms have even if they aren’t smart devices. A bit of an oversight from the manufacturer I’d say. Deal breaker for me.

    I have a Sensecap M2 Multiplatform LoRAWAN hub. It has the open source chirpstack V4 built in, which sends out MQTT messages. Still trying to figure the message out though. My only device till today was a Vision AI that says if a person is present currently, so I’ve not made this easy. Have a GPS tracker that arrived today. Will need to add it to chirpstack but chirpstack displays badly on small screens. In theory you just connect the LoRAWAN Hub via MQTT to Home Assistant, so you don’t really need extra work done. To save energy most of the devices are sensors and only connect to LoRaWAN intermittently but I’ve seen description of other “class” that seem suitable for effectors. Edited to add: pretty sure The Things Network has a cloud based MQTT client so you could connect it that way if you don’t mind the cloud.

    These type of notifications are good for urgent or emergency notifications. Some alerts you don't want, but for those important alerts, this is good. It's a pity iPhones are still so locked down and not able to do the same things, but a cheap android device could be employed to alert, even if your main driver is an iPhone.

      First, I enjoy your videos and thank you. I'm not an expert myself at any of these apps I use, including HA. Yet. Some special Androids, Samsung for example, if one ui5 or above, has modes and routines and can be useful. If words in a push are detected, it reads me the push out loud in my Bluetooth hearing aids. Samsung owners check that. Also, I've set alarms pre home assistant green, with Tasker, a very powerful phone tool. Along with plugins such as auto notification plugin. Technical though it is. Tinkering in HA as well. For instance, if my Wyze cams or any cam, detected a person between certain hours at night, sends notification, auto notification intercepts and it plays a siren sound on my phone for say 20 seconds and forwards it's also to my connected Bluetooth speaker to wake me up. Tasker also has a home assistant connection of some sort I haven't messed with much. See expert part above.😅 As time allows I will play with that as well. So much technology and so little time and expertise. To many pots on my stove lol.

      Didn't try but it shouldn't be a problem to set up. One note - it takes some time for cable to dry, just take that into account. Also, I'm not sure of the impact of this on battery life - it may be 0 or a lot.

      I didn't know Yolink has Zigbee version of water link detection sensor... If it really could be better product, especially if they managed to get 1/4 mile on Zigbee network - that would be the first. But than again, that's not that big selling point as people usually don't have homes that are 1/4 mile long.

      @@BeardedTinker This protocol is not Zigbee based. Using the devices through Home Assistant makes the protocol agnostic. What truly makes Yolink unique more than the signal range is that its products can operate through masonry walls and steel enclosures…usefulness is far beyond its range capabilities. “YoLink smart home devices use two frequencies: 923.3 MHz for LoRa and 2412-2462 MHz for Wi-Fi. YoLink devices use a proprietary protocol to communicate with the hub at 923.3 MHz, while the hub connects to the internet and network at 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.”

      Since you're commenting on Zigbee device, it would only be fair to compare similar things. But if it's same price range - 10USD, than it shouldn't be a big deal...

    With a grid of gold probes instead of two, and used at an angle to self drain, it could be used as a rain detector. RD's are missing in the great scheme of Zigbee devices. Not sure the cable could be used to detect, maybe you could try it out and let us know.

    What kinds of sensors are certified?

    • @BeardedTinker
      @BeardedTinker 6 днів тому

      Certification can be done per component or per device. As far as I kno, components in this one are certified and calibrated in factory before assembly, and should provide accurate data. But as with all CO/CO2 sensors, you need to calibrate them at first use on clean air (preferably outside) so they can establish what's baseline. Other sensors are pre-calibrated and should provide adequate data. But this device is not certified to be "scientific" tool - it can be used in home as tool to give you enough information and info on trends.

    Is IKEA's Air Quality sensor bad? I own two and mainly use them as a Zigbee repeater. I just started Zigbee 2 weeks ago, and if they're not good, I can return them.

    • @BeardedTinker
      @BeardedTinker 6 днів тому

      Haven't tested those as I've not liked the reviews. It's not bad per se - but reporting time has a bit of delay, and also, VOC values are not reported via Zigbee network. It all depends on why do you want them exactly. For typical home use, they can be enough.

    Nice device, I really like the cable detection idea. Imagine if the leak doesn't happen exactly where you expect and have positioned the sensor, this way you get another chance to detect it early

    • @BeardedTinker

      Exactly, and such a simple solution to the problem - really liking it.

    This is perfect. I was thinking make something same, two cable system for extenstion. But false alarm create lot of issue. I am living in slovakia with "panel" multi story buildings, where issue of leaking from neighbor is quiet common. Until now all leak sensor was point based. So i use only one in my bucket for aircon output (To prevent driping from balcony)

    • @BeardedTinker

      Oh, that's a good use case - should put on around my bucket on balcony too...

    I would be cautious using a water leak detector with a fish tank situation. The exposed contacts allow a small amount of power across them. This is very small and may not cause an issue, but fish are very sensitive to this sort of thing.

    • @BeardedTinker
      @BeardedTinker 6 днів тому

      It shouldn't be the problem as some other senors have that and also there are off-the-shelf aquarium sensors that use same principle. But good catch! Will need to measure if there is any power going through them.
