HomeAssistant Configuration Backup

This is my personal configuration backup repository for my home automation system using Home Assistant

General Approach

I'm still working through how I want things to be organized but packages are definitely going to be the way forward.

Projects of note:

• NodeMCU (ESP8266) MQTT controlled horizontal plantation blinds http://www.cribbstechnologies.com/index.php/home-automation/horizontal-plantation-blind-automation/
• Wemos MQTT controlled doorbell and sensor node http://www.cribbstechnologies.com/index.php/home-automation/mqtt-integrated-doorbell/
• Wemos MQTT sensor node - page not done yet

Device List:

• Raspberry Pi 3 running Home Assistant
• Aeotec Z-stick gen 5 for Z-wave integration
• Asus Dark Knight router running AsusWRT for presence detection
• Loads of Z-wave GE/Jasco Switches
• Loads of Z-wave GE/Jasco Lights
• GE/Jasco Z-wave fan controllers
• Sonoff switches running alternate firmware
• Various ESP8266 nodes collecting sensor data and controlling various automations
• Amazon Kindle Fire 7 tablet running ha-floorplan
• Open Sprinker Pi OpenSprinkler
• Amazon Dash buttons

Future Projects:

• Create and install more sensors nodes around the house
• Custom Fire 7 mounts (in progress)
• convert old home alarm system to sensor nodes
• Garage controller and vehicle sensor

There's probably more stuff I forgot about. Go ahead and snoop around!

ha_config's Issues

Look into influxdb

Floorplan issue on Fire

See if you can isolate flooplan issue on Fire and search for existing issues

CCTV view

• Put security cameras into their own individual group
• Update CCTV view to include the groups rather than the cameras themselves

investigate issue with lock

research nginx

Blog post for MQTT Sensor node

work on living room blinds

• order 25-tooth spline adapters
• design/print mounts
• install and wire servos

Update MQTT Sensor Node

Modify MQTT Sensor node sketch to sample based on frequency rather than checking against a threshold in a loop; this should stabilize the graphs in grafana and eliminate dead spots

Update Floorplan

• rotate image to landscape mode
• fix cameras being out of frame
• add basic furniture
• add lock
• create upstairs floorplan

integrate alarm sensors

Implement basic floorplan

Install Fire tablet

• Purchase Fully Kiosk Browser license
• Install recessed fixture
• finish mounts
• patch and paint wall

Server Migration

Install:

• MQTT
• InfluxDB
• Grafana
• Dasher

Configure:

• MQTT
• InfluxDB
• Grafana
• SMB
• SSL
• Dasher
• Systemd start order

Migrate:

• Grafana dashboards
• Buy SSL cert

Network configuration:

• Swap CentOS box to different IP
• Swap NUC to .71
