Logging
See logger
Add rfxtrx device
but when you don't see new switch. enable debugging in configuration.yaml:
logger:
default: info
logs:
homeassistant.components.rfxtrx: debug
rfxtrx: device: /dev/ttyUSB0-RFX433XL debug: true
and look for
homeassistant.components.rfxtrx] Receive RFXCOM event from (Device_id: 1ed0732_3 Class: LightingDevice Sub: 0, Pkt_id: 0b10000101ed071303010f60)
and use the Pkt_id in your configuration:
switch:
platform: rfxtrx
devices:
0b10000101ed071303010f60:
name: myswitch1

{{ is_state('binary_sensor.openclose_30','on')
or is_state('binary_sensor.openclose_31','on') }}

FAQ
The device is disabled by Config entry.
Means disabled, just click on edit icon and enable it
Bad status line "Invalid method encountered:\n\n b'\\x16\\x03\\x01\\x02'\n
Maybe someone is trying to access the frontend via https
This entity does not have a unique ID
probably means adding "entity_id: foo.bar"
Error during logbook entry retrieval
refresh browser
Offset
-1:15:00
Binary sensors
Door open or closed
on = Open
offf = Closed
In a group:
Open + Closed = Open
Platform configuration is deprecated
"platform" being used in configuration file, while the integration no longer needs that
Config error. See dev-info panel for details.
That's under "Developer tools" tab "Logs"
Find new zigbee device via conbee/deconz
Assuming phoscon already found it: Go to Developer Tools->Services and enter
deconz.device_refresh
and then look in home-assistant.log for a lines like
INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.entity_registry] Registered new sensor.deconz entity: sensor.temperature_20
after a while it should also show up in Configuration->Entities (TIP: here change the Entity ID to something more useful)
The name you give the device on the deconz interface will show up in HA under "Devices"
Reload configuration.yml
That's done by the "restart server", make sure to run "check configuration" first
Where did "check configuration" go?
Developer Tools->Services
reload configuration from commandline
hass --script check-config ??
Unable to open database "home-assistant_v2.db": file is encrypted or is not a database
try
sqlite3 home-assistant_v2.db
Test templates
ansible localhost -m debug -a 'msg=Template:"0.005"'
homeassistant.exceptions.HomeAssistantError: Entity id already exists
In at least one case restarting home-assistant fixed it (deconz sensor)
Unable to open the Home Assistant UI in a browser.

Terms and meanings (or my guesses at it)

seems to exist only if discovered?
service
entity
a gnome?

pydeconz.errors.Unauthorized: /lights/2/state unauthorized user
I found simply restarting home-assistant made this go away again

Zigbee Home Automation Probably the best way to use zigbee now
