Hi all,

I’m reorganizing my project setup (using ClickUp) and stumbled upon a question about what is best practice.

At the moment all completed tasks of a certain contact will have a contract-list as home location.

But I was thinking if it would ve better to just have all the tasks of all the contacts (per client, though) in one big folder/list and just make tasks member of the respective contact list.

It’s almost like m&m’s. 😆
Have all of them in one big jar and filter the colors you want, or separate them by color in separate jars.

I hope I’m making myself clear about what I’m trying to ask 😄

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Hi all,

I want to make a shortcut that changes my watch face on wind down and then when it’s bedtime, turn on sleep focus.

The first part, I got that working. My Apple Watch changes the watch face correctly.
Though, I have tried several ways to get sleep focus to activate but doesn’t work.

Used the automation “when bedtime starts” doesn’t work because wind down, is actually the sleep focus that turns on sleep focus. So, when bedtime starts just won’t work for some reason.

Want to get the time of my bedtime schedule, but don’t know how.

Snuffing an idea how I can solve this?

Hi all,

I have a motion automation setup according the Smarthomejunkie’s vid “how to use timers…” but instead of directly activation my lights, this automation is setting an input Boolean to ‘1’ and this is a trigger to start a script for turning on the lights.

The use of input Booleans for switching devices like motion sensors or physical switches gives me the possibility to detect what turned the light on and control this with other automations. Like: If this is "1" and that is "0", than do this, also if this is "0" and that is "0", do that, etc...

In this case I’m also controlling the same lights with a Tradfri button to turn on/off.

I now am stumbling into a small challenge 😄 I walk into the room and the lights go on because of motion but will go out within 30s. Perfect like this for motion only.

Condition for this automation to work: input Booleans of the light switches (I have two of them) need to be off. If either on of them is "on", the motion automation will not run.

But, I walk into the room, lights go on, I don’t want them to go out so I push the switch.

Now all the lights (3) stay on (motion activated) but I only want the one light to stay on, rest needs to go out, and the input Boolean of the motion needs to be set back to 0 also.

What I've tried so far, keeps resulting that the input boolean of the motion gets stuck on "1", and/or all the lights just stay on.

A quick and dirty trick for now, when I push the switch, the input boolean of the motion will be set to off...though still all the lights stay on.

Where do I need to change something to get what I want?

Hi all,

I've recently started to get into Ansible to setup my Proxmox, VMs and CTs.

Now I'm struggling a bit on what's best practice.
I have a first playbook that sets up SSH, e.g. this setup changes port and installs key pairs. This thus means that after the first run, I cannot use this playbook anymore since SSH port and login method are changed.

This is just one of more of the same issues I'm facing.

What would be a best solution:
Keep just one playbook for a first setup --> bootstrap?
Next, for each (Prxomox, VM and CT) a separate playbook?

Or just one big playbook and using tags?
(I'm not there yet to setup and work with roles...but want to get there eventually).
I'm still discovering stuff with Ansible, and maybe further along down the road I can optimize the whole process myself, but at the moment I'm a bit stuck here 😃

I hope someone could shed a light on this for me, on how to tackle this challenge.

Hi all,

I was trying to make a calculation with start date, duration and WORKDAY.

But u wasn’t able to select the field “Duration” in the formula.
Does anyone know if calculations with this field are:
- permitted
- implemented yet
- or perhaps doing something wrong here 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thanks for the replies in advance.

Hi all,

I’ve recently heard/read about Tailscale Funnel.
Immediately, thought of using it for my home assistant. But I also remembered that many people use Cloudflare.

Next to this, also was mentioned that these two are the same as Nabu Casa from home assistant.

1. Are there any differences between the three (except for the fact Nabu is paid)

2. From the first two, which one would be your preference, or is better

3. Regarding security/safety what can there be said about the all three of them?

Should I go one of these ways to expose my Home Assistant to the Internet to have access and more options to explore with home assistant??

Love to hear from the community
Thank you in advance

Edit: I see people are talking about Tailscale. I have that setup too, but in this post I’m specifically curious about Tailscale Funnel vs Cloudflare.

Hi all,

I've noticed some weird things going on with my Hue motion sensors.

I have these connected to Home Assistant through Z2M, all my light bulbs are via the Hue bridge.
I think since a few days I've noticed that upon detecting motion, the light indicator of 3 out of 5 motion sensors, light up RED. Nevertheless, this indicated something isn't as it should be, my automations still all work. Lights go on and off, etc.

Only 1 issue... 😆 I now get false detections like 1 or 2 times a day, turning the lights on and In accordance with the automation, also off again after configured time.

I've restarted the VM (VM is in Proxmox) in which I have Home Assistant / Z2M / Mosquitto running in Docker containers. Same result. I've updated the whole VM from Debian Bookworm to Trixie, same result.

Do any of you guys have a same behavior these last days or maybe weeks? What is it, and how can I start solving it?

Thank you for the help on this.
