So i manage to fix it by changing the permissions for ```

Does anyone use a Xiaomi Water Sensor? I’m wanting to use one but in reverse, ie detect the LACK of water as opposed to the presence of water. For those who own one do you think this would work?
Hello !
I have an Ikea Zigbee lamp and a Tradfri Remote Controll
I can turn the lamp on via HA and with the remote control on and off only when I look at the remote control on or off the status we did not change in the HA. Anything else we do not support the brightness with the remote control? Is the deconz hardware better? THANK YOU
I see you also use the alexa media player component. I thought maybe I missed something new.
Would be cool to be able to ask Alexa if it rains.
But I think this should already be possible with routines. The downside here would be that you have to remember the exact routine name.
I could imagine it like this:
Routine: “Does it rain” that triggers an input Boolean to turn on
Automation that’s looks for that Boolean and than triggers the Mediaplayer to tell you the answer with an if that’s looks for rain/notrain.
The issue here would be to know which Alexa was asked and only push the message to that device.
Of course you could always look out of the window, but this is only an example. Ask for the washing machine to be ready could be another.
Offtopic:
What’s was the reason to change to nodered? Object based programming?
There’s a different component that provides a sensor.last_alexa which is used to respond back to the correct echo:
Regarding why nodered? Because more complex automations are 100x easier and faster to create. The screenshot below is a node red automation. If I ask Alexa, “Is the garage door open?”, alexa turns on the HA boolean. The automation then replies back to the amazon echo where I asked the question with one of four answers depending on whether one or both garage doors are open or closed. Creating this automation in HA took days and the help of more than 1 expert to get it right. I created it in node red in 10 minutes:
Here is the thread for the garage doors. What a nightmare trying to automate that in HA that was. The last post in that two week struggle has the answer:
No, its this one as the other one is too slow:
I know the author of that says its no longer required and to use Keaton’s component, but Keaton’s last_alexa sensor doesn’t update quickly enough to use for most people.
Yeah, I tried that sensor and also wondered about it beeing slow.
And this way the alexa I talk with will probably not respond.
What a pitty I thought that I already have everything togehter to do this. So I have to look at the script too.
I’m wondering how automation triggers the right alexa device, because you only got the echo_plus in there.
But I’m searching for a automation that also uses that lastalexa sensor as an input for the mediaplayer.
