I’m a newbie in the home-assistant world. My home is full of API enabled services and I figured home-assistant would be perfect to connect them all.
However, I’ve learned it’s taking me more time than I expected. Therefore I’m looking for pro’s who want to help me (remotely) setup the environment. Obviously I’ll pay for this.
Elements I’m looking for:
Creating a nice dashboard for my Unify camera’s and doorbell
Using the dashboard on a device like android tabled or ipad
Creating a dashboard for my energy setup, but more over actually start optimising energy usage (69 solar panels, Tesla car charger, Electric car)
Creating a dashboard to show most enabled devices (curtains, blinds, mower, vacum cleaner, lights)
Creating an integration between my Unifi smart sensors, Hue lights and Ring alarm.
Maybe I’m missing some other things
Happy to learn!
You would probably be better off doing this for yourself.
The thing about Home Assistant is, it’s not a product that you can just set up and use. It’s designed by and for hobbyists. It changes all the time (monthly updates which occasionally break existing features) and the devices it integrates develop and change too. Even if you get someone to set it up for you, I can guarantee you’ll need help again within a few weeks.
Take the time to learn to use HA yourself. You don’t have to do everything at once, it will run alongside your existing systems until you get round to integrating them.
I fully agree that I also want to learn it myself. I can tell I’m a geek by all the stuff I’ve done so far. However, having 5 kids and 4 companies, sometimes it helps to get a head start by someone spending an hour in Google Meet
Hi there, whilst I do agree regarding setting it up myself, I was hoping to do this under instruction so I know how to correct an issue in the future, it would be nice to get it started.
I’m just finishing off a 9 year renovation of my home which is the reason for the delayed response for which I do apologise.
I have been tinkering with it but everything I try appears to have the same response which is why I suspect it may be faulty.
If there is anyone out there who lives in London and can assist, assistance would be greatly appreciated
