Home Assistant - Singapore

Hi, my approach was to make it as cheap yet smart (broke student). My home uses Fanco Fan, which uses IR remote so I used WIFI-To-IR converter from Broadlink https://broadlinksg.com. You can control the broadlink on hassio.

The cheapest approach is using esp8266 with IR diode and program through esphome, but the signal will be weak so transistor would be nice.

Hi folks…i am trying to set up remote access for HA…but am very clueless about networking and port forwarding…am following some youtube tutorial , and will need to set some port forward settings on my router…anyone able to assist how do i set it up for Singtel router?

I have successfully used Local Tuya to integrate with my PO Eco ceiling fan, although there is a bug that is pending a fix to properly receive speed commands.

I was looking for the Home Assistant SkyConnect device, possible to get in Singapore?

I bought from Nabu Casa website, got it faster than getting a HA Yellow

To add to the Broadlink solution, checkout SmartIR, it emulates the device states in HA as entities.

Working pretty well with my Mitsubishi AC and KDK fans.

It’s not well documented but I wrote up a high level overview here.

Hello Singapore community!
Have any of you attempted to integrate SG Group data for utility tracking (electricity/water)?
I would be very interested to add this to my dashboard.

Do they have publicly accessible API?

Yes, this is a good question - would be great to be able to track power usage from SP site

Sigh, don’t think will be possible unless allows a log in to the account from their front end?

if you want to go all in on controlling your aircon, check out controlling mitsubishi aircon directly with esphome and its control port! this blogpost was very helpful in helping me set it up. No need for IR and line of sight anymore!

Newbie to HA here… so would appreciate some advice.

How do I activate the area, region and rain entities in the config flow?

Thank you…

Follow the integration config flow to set up the following entities:

  • weather: weather entity with 4 day forecasts
  • area (town) sensors: current weather conditions for up to 47 areas/towns in Singapore
  • region sensors: 24 weather condition forecast for North/South/East/West/Central regions of Singapore
  • rain camera: 2 camera entities for static and animated rain map overlays that are updated every 5 minutes from NEA

==> can anyone please guide me on these steps? newbie here… thank you!

hi, can you share your config set up pls?

up !?

Anybody has a clue about this ?

After added intigration from HACS, you need to go to home assistant setting/devices & services/ intigration/ (not HACS intigration), then find and add Nea Singapore weather Intigration.

Is this your Facebook group? Or do you know the moderators? I wanted to join but it looks like I’m blocked, and I have no idea what I might have done wrong.

Where can I buy HA yellow in Singapore?

I would suggest via Seeed Studio

Am definitely interested in this as well. Also anyone knows if the advanced meter rollout is coming anytime soon

Just integrated my mitsubishi aircon with HA using the mitsubishi2mqtt package and Wemos D1 Mini. Works great!
