0.83: Fibaro Home Center Hubs, locks via voice, Traccar

[joshmd (Josh)]

No this is my understanding of it too. I have a few GH in my house so I’m now thinking I can effectively set up room-level presence detection with nothing more than the GH devices.

[markbajaj]

I had to roll back to 0.82.1 as just hung when I updated. Nothing obvious in the logs, though I suspect maybe Xiaomi devices may have something to do with it as my friend had to do the same and it was erroring on his Xiaomi sensors.

I’ll give it a go again in a bit and see if I can fully debug.

For Owntracks. the setting in configuration.yaml
owntracks:

Restart show intergration in config but no device.

CONFIGURING THE APP - IOS

Install the OwnTracks application for iOS.

In the OwnTracks app, tap the (i) in the top left and click on settings. Change the following settings:

• Mode: HTTP
• URL: <url given to you when setting up the integration> <=== what to put when in the intergration no device found
• Turn on authentication
• User ID: <Your name>

I haven’t gotten the upgrade yet but i’ve had a look at the code. It seems to look for BLE devices similar to the ble_tracker. I assume it will use the known_devices.yaml to specify what to track

[phairplay]

would you be able to track the same device on a different Bluetooth tracker?

I find the Google home has a short range (based on using it to stream music) yet the RPI never skips a beat.

[joshmd (Josh)]

Short range could be good here if we’re looking at room presence detection though.

How does locking via google assistant work if I need to enter a pin-code to lock?

[Martin_Granger]

Not seeing the update in my hassio setup??

[balloob (Paulus Schoutsen)]

No restart needed when configuring OwnTracks. Devices don’t show up under integrations yet but device tracker entries will show up.

[joshmd (Josh)]

Hassio update normally takes a few hours to show up I find.

[johnflorin (Florin)]

Google Home Bluetooth tracker seems amazing!

Even if it doesn’t work well enough for room-level detection, it would be an ideal way for home presence detection for all of us not using a Raspberry Pi for its Bluetooth.

[Martin_Granger]

Can it be manually updated? I’m desperate to see if I can get my AsusWRT working again!

[silvrr]

Stop asking about Hassio versions.....Automate it

I see way to many people asking about what the latest hassio version is or when it will be available. Hassio versions are generally available within 1 day after the main branch release. This is due to having to make the hassio build which just takes time. To find out when a new version is available for your specific Hass.io build, create the following sensor. #https://www.home-assistant.io/components/sensor.rest/ sensor: - platform: rest resource: https://s3.amazonaws.com/hassio-versi…

It is said in the doc that some index need to be migrated and that it might take a while. Have you been patient enough?

[phairplay]

I agree
What I’m curious about is can I still use the rpi bluetooth which detect us when on our drive and also use google home for room detection.

Is someone aware of these errors?

[touliloup (Romain)]

Did you maybe declare a group calendar 2 times by mistake?

[0rn0lf]

This release is so awesome! 17track is now an offical component and the best is, I can now finally use the fritzbox callmonitor component

Thank you really much

[maurizio53 (Maurizio Fabiani)]

No, it’s an open issue with 0.83.0 waiting to be fixed…
All group_all set to initial state ‘on’ have this problem…

[Gipnokote]

I also have problems with 0.83
When I restart HA I see some activity in the logs, and the last records are:

Nov 29 14:13:59 raspberrypi3 hass[31567]: 2018-11-29 14:13:59 INFO (Thread-14) [homeassistant.components.device_tracker.fritz] Successfully connected to FRITZ!Box 7560 (UI)
Nov 29 14:13:59 raspberrypi3 hass[31567]: 2018-11-29 14:13:59 INFO (Thread-14) [homeassistant.components.device_tracker.fritz] Scanning
Nov 29 14:14:02 raspberrypi3 hass[31567]: 2018-11-29 14:14:02 INFO (Thread-18) [homeassistant.components.device_tracker.fritz] Scanning

and it stops after this. Before this fritzbox tracker was scanning and leaving the log records periodically, each 5 seconds or so, but not after this update.

I also notice that some part of HA works, because it writes something into InfluxDB - I can see the changing numbers and graphs in Grafana which visualizes InfluxDB data, and it is only possible if HA is alive. But I cannot open HA in my browser.

I was patient enough to comment out sections in configuration.yaml to see what makes HA hang, and I found that OwnTracks is the culprit. This is my configuration:

device_tracker:
  - platform: fritz
    interval_seconds: 10
    consider_home: 180
    track_new_devices: yes
  - platform: owntracks
    max_gps_accuracy: 200

As soon as I comment out owntracks, HA starts fine.
