Welcome to the Home Sight channel dedicated to home automation!
I'm a communications engineer by day with a background in IT and electrical control systems. Automation in these videos is mainly based on Home assistant and integration with it, but I'll also cover other topics surrounding "Smart home" and general home automation.
Enjoy!

If anyone gets the "unable to connect to libvirt qemu ///system" on VMM, just reboot your system
When you are editing your configuration, there is a live mini-view at the top right. I don't see it on my system. Is there an option to enable it?
The A1 Pro Max lock was added to HomeKit, but it does not lock or unlock the door. The device was added, but it doesn't work. This might be because the lock requires a Bluetooth connection and only allows connections through the Smart Life app.
Hello, it is free to use tuyaplatform ? Thanks for the video
Dude, you're so good! I just bought a Tradfri bulb, and it said to hold a steering device to it. Instead, I power cycled it 6 times, and it instantly paired!
One question is the Lidar always used or only when mapping?
I am getting this error, could you please help me Required `id` property is missing in device configuration, I received: { "device_type": "form" } thank you
Thanks for your video very helpful! I'm getting an error on stop sensor the open and close work fine just the stop does not work is there anything I could be missing?
Excellent video! Thank you so much, watched a few videos on wiring this up and this one is by far the best. Really appreciate it!
seriously i purchased one without manual and had a nightmare with it until now ,i never comment on videos until now and your a Dimond THANKS
Do you have a video on binding an Ikea remote to an Ikea blind (or mqtt group of blinds)? Have been searching for such a video without much luck... Cannot seem to get the button bound to the blinds.
I'm only 15 minutes in but so far this is the best primer to Node Red I've seen. I've used it for about a year but sometimes I feel my basics knowledge of Node Red is actually still kind of weak just due to the fact I assume some things work the way they do, or don't realize the full options of each potential node. Great job. Only minor complaint is your audio is a bit quiet. Maybe it's just my devices but I had to max your volume out and strain to listen at times.
Can I also control and add a ikea lamp with the zigbee app without the ikea contol unit?
Great series of videos, thank you! I want to control a Weinor awning that uses 433MHz remote with 3 buttons: up, down and stop. How can I capture the codes the remote sends out to use with the RF bridge? Appreciate any tips!
I get the message in Homebridge that Test time has expired, I should subscribe. Isn't this free???
Give this Clip HD my EYES 😫🙈
How do u see battery percentage
Good video , I'm trying to add Ikea switches to HA, I have set up the ZigBee2MQTT and broker - Mosquito , but it fails. I am using an EERO hub so need to connect via a thread connection - not sure how this last bit works ... Any idea ?
In EU I think we have only 2 wires in the tube between those 2 switches, there is not a default (L) wire in the tube, too
Is this information still valid? I see some really old versions.
I'm going through my first HA setup now and my dream dashboard was exactly this, I knew someone had to have done this already and stumbled on this video. Thanks so much for the clear instructions its much appreciated!
where do i find the end point url?
Many thanks very helpful Successful installation ( Installed on Ubuntu 22.04 on KVM ) but I run and try to add add-ons it gives me this error ( AddonManager.install' blocked from execution, no host internet connection )
you need ur macbook on to this works?
There are numerous posts complaining about the short range and then there are mmwave sensors available, so I would consider changing the topic on this video as it makes claims that are nowhere near truth.
Well you need to change your video a new one is now out!!!
Great Video. Did everything as instructed. but in homebridge. The device is on Tuya IoT. But when I open Homebridge, in the command panel I get: Got 1 Device (so it is finding it ) than fetching etc, finally i get: [Tuya] Unsupported Device: Name of device (in brown). Can you help please
I imported the node-red script from your website and changed the variables for my entities and zigbee2mqtt, which worked beautifully. Thank you so much
Does anyone every provide answers anymore. What if you got incorrect login
Thanks - this really helped, I needed to make some modifications, platform MQTT no longer works you just use MQTT - my RF bridges were the last items I had running on Domoticz still because I couldn’t get them integrated to HA
i created switch with helper. I tried to turn off the switch this manual, but the code doesn't set anything - it doesn't turn off the switch. The status of the bord switch remains the same. how can i find a solution for this?

Thanks for the life of me couldnt see that little reset button on the smart plug. I also got a 4 pack of the SONOFF S40 Lites at the same time and I gotta say: I much prefer the SONOFF ones. They're smaller, more likely to fit on a power strip or a cramped outlet, go into pairing mode right away so you don't even have to set it to pair, the pairing button is actually big and press-able by your finger if you need, and paired immediately. The Ikea ones, while not required, did have a firmware update available when they showed up where as the SONOFF ones were fully up-to-date though that's a small gripe. Oh and not to mention getting them in a 4 pack had them ~$9 USD a plug, vs the $15 for the ikea plug.
Can someone explain something to me. So for shelly to have light on it must have live coming to SW. But if live is comming, and I turn light off using app, and then click one of switches - no live is coming to SW, will light turn on? Basically, does shelly track 'state' meaning even with no live comming to SW it will light up?
you just solved in 10 minutes what i've been struggling with the last couple of days.. Than you!! <3
Nice video. And now I can access HA from any other PC in my network. However, the other way round doesn't work. How can this be enhanced, so that HA will find e.g. my Hue bridge or any other devices inside my network?
My old robot lost its maps sometimes, so i had to rescan and re partition the whole house. Can the roborock save maps in the cloud so you can refrieve them at any time? Thx
When the map and partitions are done, can the device run without wifi and find a room, if i need to clean a partition/part. My roidmi eve could do that, but its broken now.
so you can send singal for open the big door from your garage?
Great instructions, I was able to work through this and have HA running in a VM on my Ubunto machine. But it does not appear to be the supervised version. I am new to HA and had it running in docker, but only the core version. I do not see the expected supervisor to click in the left column. I need to get some add ons that are only available through the supervisor.
Hi, supervised version is not available to be virtually hosted.
@@HomeSight Hmmm, thanks. that is not how I interpreted the documentation. I was excited when I found your video that indicates supervised in the description. If it really is not available you may want to update that description. Either way I learned a lot going through the exercise. So time not wasted.
cool video, I'm already busy implementing everything. How can I display the current color of the Hue Color lamp?
For some reason my light is not switching. I’ve basically setup exactly the same as you did (besides names) but the light is not toggling. The inject node gives a timestamp to the service call and there it stops. Something to do with the config.yaml?
But I don’t want to flash my my. I want to add it to my existing pi. How do I do that?
do you have a link to node ncu flasher that works on windows 10
Does ZHA support more than one Zigbee coordinator to extend it’s range (repeater not possible because of distance). For example one Sonoff bridge and one USB Stick (Sky Connect) at one time? Thank you
Still an awesome video. Thank you for helping me
Out of interest, is there any reason you can’t export all layers at the same size as the base image and then use a position of 0 left 0 top and the same width for everything (or just not specify?) to indicate everything aligns in the same place as you originally made it? Why trim the light overlay images down to the size of each room then align?
Hello, I followed this without problems. But right now, my ZBBridge is losing connection, I have to run the rule again in console. Any idea of how to solve this problem? I would like something more reliable..
If the Shelly switch catches fire (it does happen), it should be in a metal box. Google search "Shelly switch fire"😂
