esphome-mitsubishiheatpump VS Home Assistant

Controlling Mitsubishi mini split heat pumps instead of paying hundreds for Mitsubishis solution: https://github.com/geoffdavis/esphome-mitsubishiheatpump

DIY Plug in: this Github Project describes a way to diy a plug in connection running on ESPhome for a few $ of parts, but I'm a bit of a novice and don't know how I would connect this to Homekit.

If you Home Assistant or ESPHome, this is the jam. https://github.com/geoffdavis/esphome-mitsubishiheatpump

Highly likely you're experiencing a watchdog error on an idle core. The only way to know for sure is to enable logger, which will be a challenge here. You can see an example here., but this is a widely reported and poorly understood issue.

If you can add homeassistant, you should look at https://github.com/geoffdavis/esphome-mitsubishiheatpump -- we're using it with 5 split units. It works great, is faster than infrared, and cheaper than the wired or wireless control options from Mitsubishi.

If your Mitsubishi uses IR for it's remote, this probably would work: https://github.com/geoffdavis/esphome-mitsubishiheatpump

Or, you can use a Broadlink IR blaster to clone the remote.

If your heat pump talks to MEL cloud (Mitsubishi's cloud thingy) then this should work: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/melcloud/

I have yet to buy a "smart" device that I haven't been able to control through HA. The Broadlink RF/IR bridges even makes anything with a remote automatable.

Seriously, If it wasn't for Home Assistant, the "smartness" of smart devices would be next to useless.

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/requirements... lists all the direct dependencies installed in the container.

It's enough for just a single direct or indirect dependency to be compromised to have a botnet or turn it into something used for surveillance against the users.

Preventing it from exfiltrating data by isolating it from the network with Internet access is the only option if you want to run it. This requires local only devices.

Accessing it through the web UI or through the mobile app will still load icons from https://brands.home-assistant.io. The details are in this ticket https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/18549

Home Assistant

This time, I attended Monitoring your home, with DevOps observability tools. I thought it would be about OpenTelemetry for your home. After the speaker mentioned Home Assistant, however, I didn't pay much attention to the rest.

The rootless .container files go into ~/.config/containers/systemd. I'm using one to run Home Assistant.

ha-aws-cost is a project from Diego Marques for folks who use Home Assistant (a very popular open source home automation system), and provides custom component interacts with AWS to get the month to date cost and forecast cost and make it available on Home Assistant. It adds two new entities 1/Month to date cost: The current cost of your AWS account, and 2/Forecasted month costs: The forecasted cost based in your current consumption. Check out Diego's post on LinkedIn that provides some more background to this project.

Nice!

For a home-rolled solution, I use a GE CYNC ST19 Edison Style bulb in a socket right outside my office door. I have it configured through Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/), and then use Hammerspoon (https://www.hammerspoon.org/) on my macbook to make an API call to Home Assistant when the camera state changes.

If my camera turns on/off, so does the light bulb. Works really well for letting my family know I'm busy in meetings.

Given these changes, I thought about reintroducing Homebridge. But upon researching, I discovered Home Assistant.
