Who have more than 150-200 devices and what it's like?

[exx]

I’ve only been at this since late October/early November, and I have 125 devices, many hundreds of entities (I don’t know how to display a count, and I’m not counting them by hand), and 60 automations. Just myself and my wife. She likes it just fine since everything about the house - with the exception of one lamp - retains manual control via lightswitches / legacy pushbuttons (like the garage door opener).

Most of the automations are just simple scheduled stuff for lighting, or open the garage door when we get home. The rest are all related to the whole home audio setup, and automating the behavior of the dashboard for the multiple receivers that drive the various audio zones, switching sources, volume controls, etc etc.

I don’t know how to display a count

Create this card:

type: markdown
content: >
  Domain | Count 
    :---|---:
  {% for d in states | groupby('domain') %} {{ d[0].replace('_', ' ') | title }}
  | {{ states[d[0]] | count  }}

  {% endfor %}

What is it like?

Fast, reliable, very helpful in the household. Sometimes a bit to much demanding on maintenance, but that’s HA’s nature. A complicated multi-system covering so many topics at once like this can’t be easy as f…k.

Overall, very happy with it!

[aceindy]

Maybe have a look / post here?

How much entities do you have in Homeassistant?

I believe my hobby of home automation is getting a bit out of control . To check how bad my addiction is I would like to understand how many devices/automations/sensors other people have integrated into Homeassistant. Figuring this out is easy: just go to to the developer tools -> Template and put the below code in there. Sum the total and use that in the poll (feel free to copy paste the result in the comments :-)) Sensors: {{ states.sensor | count }} Lights: {{ states.light | count }} S…

I’ve got a few:

[Stalitsa]

Great share of guys as newbie to HA since I’ve got for a couple weeks now and all of the devices are not connected yet. Here are my results:

[elwing (Laura)]

Lady here, I have 146 just z-wave devices. If you count all my devices, I probably have more than 300. I have a 2400sq ft house - every single door and window has a sensor on it - including interior doors. Also have multi-sensors in most rooms, a thermostat, a few water leak sensors, almost every light in the place (switch), every fan, and a few plugs (washing machine, two window A/Cs and a dehumidifier. A few plugs that are more seasonal (Christmas tree lights and menorah lights). A fishtank, and growlight. Not too hard to have a lot. My z-wave network is super strong because of the mesh. Haven’t updated to the 700-series controller yet, but I haven’t had issues with my 500-series, so no rush to upgrade. I was running on a Pi4 up until about a month ago, and moved to a synologyNAS with docker (zwavejs2mqtt is running on a separate pi) - no slow down at all (better backup control for me).

[stevemann (Stephen Mann (YAML-challenged))]

I am just a lightweight- 93 devices.

[kbrown01]

Lights – 80+
Fans – 3
TVs – 6
Stereo Amps – 2x8 zone = 16 media players
Stereo Inputs – 6 … some running on separate devices, some running on Core machine
Broadlink – 2
Alexa – 4 physical ones which have multiple entities
Phones, Pads, computers – 8
RGB Lighting Controllers and lights – 24

I am sure at least a dozen more

[kbrown01]

Counting devices is one thing, counting entitles is another. One audio 12x12 is 24 entities.

What is HASP?

[BebeMischa]

i think, it refers to this:

GitHub - aderusha/HASwitchPlate: LCD touchscreen for Home Automation

[aruffell]

I started with home automation in 2014 but only switched to Home Assistant in 2021 and loving it!

I have 190 zigbee and zwave devices, 2 ecobee thermostats, 20 LIFX bulbs, 6 Nest Protect, 15+ Echos, 9+ IP cameras, and lots of other devices tied into HA. It’s fun and addictive… I only automate what makes sense (convenience of eliminating repetitive tasks, or scenarios that always occur in the same way as automations interfering with what you are trying to do are more annoying than not having one in the first place).

Fun to see how it’s grown in just a few short months:

HASwitchPlate

https://www.openhasp.com/0.6.3/devices/wireless-tag/

there are 2 dif setups. openhasp, haspone depending on your hardware.

What is HASP?

HASP is Home Automation Switch Plate. And it is FANTASTIC.
I have four now and planning to install a fifth one later this week.

It is basically a touch screen interface for Home Assistant.

How did you get the domain counts?

[BebeMischa]

make this card:

type: markdown
content: >
  Domain | Count 
    :---|---:
  {% for d in states | groupby('domain') %} {{ d[0].replace('_', ' ') | title }}
  | {{ states[d[0]] | count  }}

  {% endfor %}
