HOWTOs
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

FAQ
Config error. See dev-info panel for details.
That's under "Developer tools" tab "Logs"
Upgrading home-assissant
For this is, as user hass:
cd homeassistant #python -m venv . ?? source bin/activate pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant
Find new zigbee device via conbee/deconz
Assuming phoscon already found it: Got 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)
Reload configuration.yml
That's done by the "restart server", make sure to run "check configuration" first
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)
Terms and meanings (or my guesses at it)
device
seems to exist only if discovered?
service
entity
a gnome?
deconz
pydeconz.errors.Unauthorized: /lights/2/state unauthorized user
I found simply restarting home-assistant made this go away again
