Your automation needs to have an id for traces to be created, when you use YAML to configure them, you need to add that manually

Thank you so much @CentralCommand, this really helped me!!

[callifo]

Yep, I always put that on all my automations/scripts,

- id: notification_motion_detected
   alias: 'House Alarm - Notification Camera Motion Detected'
   mode: queued
   trigger:

Hi! Did you solved the problem, how? Thanks a lot

[golles]

Hi Joaquin, you can change the port back for homekit in your config:

homekit:
  port: 51827

I’m using docker-compose, so I decided to remove the port from my config and use the updated (standard) ports

homeassistant:
  container_name: home-assistant
  image: homeassistant/home-assistant:latest
  ...
  ports:
    - 8123:8123
    - 21063:21063
    - 21064:21064
...

I might have restarted the avahi as well, but can’t remember.

sudo service avahi-daemon restart

Hope this helps you to resolve as well

HI, thank for the replay, it didnt work. im running on pi3

and my config.yaml

#HomeKit Integration
homekit:
- filter:
    include_domains:
      - light
      - sensor
      - camera
#      - climate
#      - media_player
    include_entities:
      - switch.medanito_vpn
      - media_player.living_LG
#      - media_player.cocina
#      - media_player.living

Any Help is welcome!

[golles]

Was homekit working fine before 2021.4?
In that case you could try:

#HomeKit Integration
homekit:
  advertise_ip: 192.168....pi ip address
  port: 51827
  filter:
    include_domains:
      - light
      - sensor
      - camera
#      - climate
#      - media_player
    include_entities:
      - switch.medanito_vpn
      - media_player.living_LG
#      - media_player.cocina
#      - media_player.living

Hi Guys,
As usual, a big thanks for your awesome work ! I have not been around for a while and did not follow the latest devs, but the latest release looks very interesting.
I have noted there has been a change in the Z-wave integration and was wondering if at some point automatic transition is planned ? I have a couple of radiators connected in Z-wave through micro modules embedded in the wall and i would be a pain to have to access them all to reset them, etc. But at the same time, I assume the old integration will be depreciated at some point.
Any insight ?
Cheers

You (generally) don’t need to re-pair the devices since the device is paired to the controller not the interface software.

All the update does is provides a different updated means to interface with your controller.

[CedC]

Hum thanks for the tip. If I understand correctly, this means I just need to disable Z-wave integration, and enable Open Z-wave and Voilà ?
Sounds too simple to be true

[sergi.suarezj (Sergi Suarez)]

Probably the name of your end devices will be different. You will need to check all your rules and interfaces towards them.

@CedC

enable Open Z-wave and Voilà ?

You should be moving to zwavejs rather than open z-wave at this point.
ZwaveJs is the recommended integration going forward.

There are a number of threads covering off migrating from zwave to zwavejs that are worth reviewing.
In particular:

Zwave & Home Assistant Overview

Introduction Currently, there are 3 different ways to integrate a ZWave network . This is a broad overview of each method. Zwave JS Addon & Zwave JS Integration (Websockets) ZWave JS UI & Zwave JS Integration (Websockets) ZWave JS UI & MQTT Integration (MQTT) Note: The legacy Zwave 1.4 and OpenZwave (Beta) integrations no longer exist and are not covered in this overview.

How do I switch to Zwave JS?

EDIT: 4 Community guides are being worked on. THEY ARE NOT COMPLETE. People will be contributing to the guides over the next few days. Please check them out, in time they will have all the information you need to Migrate without a Migration tool.

[CedC]

[nickrout]

@Ostracizado

Installed it yesterday

Upgraded from what version?

[Ostracizado]

Core-2021.4.5.

[laca75tn (My Home)]

When I update from core-2021.4.4 to core-2021.4.6 I loose the main customized overview dashboard and it gets replaced with one that has all my entities. Any ideas why is this happening?

[joaquin68 (Joaquin Rodriguez)]

HI @golles I think found the issue.
Im using two netwoks eth0 on my ISP router and Wlan0 on my MIkrotik with differents ip address, so every time I connect to ISP router HomeKit worked and on my Mikrotik network doesnt, so…removed the patchcord form my isp, disable eth0 and its working again. Before that ive try using IP_ADVERTISE to use Mikrotik range ips but it didnt work.

thank for your time

Anyone know about how many hours updating 14 days of DB might take?

Been going well over an hour on my x86-64 server with the database upgrade…just since I logged in to check it. From what I see of the host system its not using that much resources seems like its not trying that hard…disk is on SSDs and don’t appear that active by the LEDs

EDIT: Finally finished…man that was a LONG wait, at least 2.5 hours!
