Working on the @homeassistant setup this weekend now that the pantry is getting closer to being finished.

Trying to setup an automation to run the robot vacuum in the utility room every third time the litter box goes off. Cannot seem to get the zones working though.

Any thoughts?

@just_another_person That worked! Hidden down at the very bottom of my device page, it gave me the room numbers. Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I recently had some issue regarding some custom integration: The resource (sensor) names were localised / translated.

This created first some confusion, later some effort to get some other custom-card working.

Example:
sensor.CHARGERNAME_dynamic_circuit_limit --> sensor.CHARGERNAME_dynamisches_stromkreislimit

Is there a general rule for (integration-) developers to localise resource/sensor names?

What is yr idea?

@paul @homeassistant @homeassistant @homeassistant @homeassistant For entity ids I stick to english with the entity name being translated since the ids are used in code which is english.
I did make the mistake of translating them to start with but got flack from people who couldn’t make common templates etc. much like you’ve experienced.
I’ve not seen official guidance either way but core integrations seem to not translate them.

"core integrations not translating the the resource-ids" is a good hint for my ungoing discussion with the maintainer, who claims the other case :-|

Anyway, I'll have to dig deeper into HA to find some more information then.
Thx for your fist comment so far.

Currently working on my @homeassistant interface and it's been a real PITA. However, I found this sweet extension that allows you to look up icons so you can easily find the one you want. Genius!

@walden This is the only thing i have used so I could not compare them, but it seems very easy to use so far. It has a very quick response.

thomasloven ,

Yeah… that’s what most of the frontend team uses…
Or at least used to back in my days.

Going through and hiding all of my entities. Painful process but making it easier to use in the future. @homeassistant is looking better and better each day.

nottelling ,

Fair enough, just seems like a lot of work vs. 2 clicks on the filters.

ari_verse ,

what is the point of doing that?
I just checked and I have hundreds of entities, it would take a huge amount of time to see which ones to keep visible / which ones are used in automations or visualization etc. What is the harm of just leaving them exposed?

alvaro ,

I was wondering if someone has done something similar:

I want to detect if one of the kitchen burners have been running for a long time. Gas sensors won't work because the fires are running.

I was thinking that a solution could be to have a wifi-enabled thermostat that sends the temperature to home assistant and if it is above > X for Y minutes, send an alarm/email/notification. The sensor could be hidden below the burners and connected via a cable to measure the temperature.

Does this make sense? Does anybody have some idea how to implement this (maybe using a ESP8266)?

Is there other alternative?

butitsnotme ,

Not that I’ve done this, but an IR sensor would probably work well.

Why temperature?

Assuming your burners are controlled by dials, slap a magnet on each of them and set up reed switches.

I thought the HomeKit Bridge Integration was meant to import all your devices from HomeKit?

I have it setup as below and it is not seeing my DIRIGERA attached light bulbs. Should they be seen?

The just keeps getting better and better. This is my favourite power flow card. It can work with any inverter, just use the correct entities.
