We finally roll up our sleeves and talk without mincing words in the Home Assistant language and how we can start having a smart home, we'll hear a lot of ideas and… above all, We look forward to yours!
And Monday arrived, and with him, New Podcast; today in A Podcast for IT we have a super interesting talk about the IoT world. We will understand what IoT is, quite a lot of what it covers at the business level and of course at the domestic level.
¡Ole, ole and ole Rigodón! VMware through a fling presents a new version of the ESXi hypervisor, for ARM architectures, What a marvel! In this post we will see something that is not supported (For now), and it's nothing more than how to install ESXi on a Raspberry Pi 4. ¿For what? Then we discussed it.
In this post we are going to try to explain how we can make a plan of our house and integrate it into Home Assistant, with the intention of integrating the devices that we already have in Hassio and giving life to the plan. It is something very attractive and above all visual, It is something they will appreciate at home, since with an image we can see the state of our home and we can interact from it with the devices that we add.
As you already know, Sonoff has a marvel of devices, with which we can control everything we can think of, in this post we will see how to use the Sonoff Touch, a Wifi switch that we can put in our homes, replacing traditional switches. Apart from having an aesthetic that I personally love, we can change the firmware to integrate it with our Home Assistant installation and be able to control any light in the house / office.
In this post we are going to see how to control the blinds of our home or office, we start with traditional PVC blinds (in my case) to which we want to put a motor to automate something else and make a Smart Home. It will be super simple, We'll do it all with a Shelly 2.5 to control the upload or download wirelessly, and all integrated with Home Assistant!
Call me meticulous, but I usually put the Home Assistant database on an external server with MariaDB or MySQL, since I usually make remote queries to the DB with some system, or for the issue of backup, robustness, etc… It is not something usual to do, But I'll leave you the steps in case you need it!
We started a series of super interesting posts, where in this first one we will see the installation of Hassio or Home Assistant on a Debian machine as a container will be quick and easy, From there, it will be time to grow and centralize all our devices so that we can manage them from here. Home Assistant is going to become the brain of our home automation system, From here we will know the status of each device and carry out the corresponding actions that interest us.
This first document will serve as a basis for us to install one of the best dashboards we have in the Open Source world (In my humble opinion), we'll use Dashing Dashboard. And we will use it to make interactive graphs of everything that interests us! In my case, I'll document some widgets I used for my home dashboard, Where can I monitor the overall status.
