    Home Assistant : Q&A, Tips & Tricks, Your Configs

    Can someone maybe help me with automations related to loadshedding. I have a few automations that turn on/off lights in or around the house as well as the geyser during certain times. But because of loadshedding (thanks eskom), sometimes these automations will not execute. My HA server stays on...

    Hass and IDS alarm integration

    Hi, I got the command with a great struggle that the HYYP app is sending to the server to get the zones, bypass status and to arm or disarm. However, like in the HYYP app i could not see which zone is triggered unless the alarm is armed. You could go and test for yourself to see if you can...

    SA smart plugs that can be flashed with Tasmota

    Has anyone tried the CBI Astute range of smart plugs and switches. This is almost the perfect solution, as it replaces the wall socket with a switchable plug and energy monitor. Would just like to know what chip is in there and would it be able to be flashed with Tasmota. Price is also a bit high

    Hass and IDS alarm integration

    So yesterday i finally made it to work. Not really what i was hoping to get. You will probably be able to bypass the zones or arm/dismarm the alarm from home assistant. I wanted to get the status of each of the zones. but it looks like the HYYP app only post those when the zone is triggered...

    SA smart plugs that can be flashed with Tasmota

    No you have to open and solder directly to the chip or to the pads on the back to flash using a usb to serial converter

    SA smart plugs that can be flashed with Tasmota

    I do not have a plug to open at the moment. The pads on the back of the chip is labeled for soldering. I also saw that if you use tazmotizer you should download the tazmota.bin file and load it seperately from the app. Mine did not want to flash when i select the download and flash option.

    SA smart plugs that can be flashed with Tasmota

    I am using home assistant. But the enity resets. What is the setup to store the total energy usage and have it continue where it left off before the power outage?

    SA smart plugs that can be flashed with Tasmota

    Does anyone know how to save the energy consumtion and keep on counting when the power goes out? Like during loadshedding my plug resets and the total energy consumption resets

    SA smart plugs that can be flashed with Tasmota

    I recently bought the BNETA smart plugs from Takealot. I tried to flash with Tuya convert but had no luck as it seems to have the lastest firmware from Tuya. I opened the plugs up and could then flash the plugs by soldering to the serial pins and using tasmotizer to flash. Worked perfectly if...
