Install Additional Plugins

Before you can install any additional plugins like lovelace slider entity row mod (https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-slider-entity-row), use HACS (Home Assistant Custom Store) instead to manage those plugins.

1. Go to add-on store

2. Install SSH add-ons

Go to Configuration tab and make sure username and password is set.

3. Start Terminal add-on on the sidebar

4. Run HACS download script

wget -O - https://get.hacs.xyz | bash -

5. Restart HACS

6. Go to Settings -> Integration and search for HACS.

7. Accept all

Install Slider Entity Row

Enable Kodi Integration

Home Assistant will send JSON-GRPC to Kodi on nVidia Shield.

Since Kodi Leia, you must enable SSL on Kodi since JSON-GRPC can only be sent to HTTPS channel.

Without SSL, you will see issue

Install Self-Signed SSL to nVidia Shield

1. Establish adb shell to nVidia Shield

2. Generate self-signed certificate using online SSL website such as https://regery.com/en/security/ssl-tools/self-signed-certificate-generator

Enter the IP address of your nVidia Shield.

Then click Generate SSL. Two files will be generated.

Save this as server.pem

Save this as server.key

Kodi expected to have these two files named as it-is, so do it.

Example certificate when you try to access Kodi

3. Push the cert to sdcard on nvidia Shield using adb

adb push server.pem /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata
adb push server.key /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata

Enable SSL on Kodi Settings > Control

Go to Kodi Settings > Control, then turn on Enable SSL button.

Try to open browser and type in the IP address of nVidia Shield using HTTPS. Note that http will fail now.

Enable JSON-RPC

Since the interface is available on many transports enabling it depends on the transport.

Python: Always enabled
HTTP: In System/Settings/Network/Services activate Allow control of Kodi via HTTP (see Enabling the webserver)
TCP: In System/Settings/Network/Services activate Allow programs on this system to control Kodi for localhost access only and Allow programs on other systems to control Kodi for access from other computers as well

Note: The EventServer is a different interface for sending remote keypresses to Kodi, and must be enabled separately, some programs may use both interfaces.

Verify JSON-RPC

Test: Sending Input Use curl and issue the following to test sending a down command

curl -s -X POST -H "content-type:application/json" "https://kodi:[email protected]:8080/jsonrpc" -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": "1", "method": "Input.ExecuteAction", "params": {"action": "down"}}' -k

Expectation: You should see the selection changed.

Test: Changing TV Channel

curl -s -X POST -H "content-type:application/json" "https://kodi:[email protected]:8080/jsonrpc" -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": "1", "method": "Player.Open", "params": {"item":{"channelid":1}}}' -k

Expectation: You should see it changed to Live Channel TV 1

Setup JSON-GRPC on Kodi HA Integration

Test: Sending input up via HA Service

service: kodi.call_method
data:
  method: Input.Up
target:
  entity_id: media_player.android_kodi

Expectation: You should see selection UP

Example JSON-GRPC to tune to Channel 1 in PVR

service: kodi.call_method
data:
  method: Player.Open
  item:
    channelid: 1
target:
  entity_id: media_player.android_kodi

It might be hard since it uses channel_id. To get the real channel number, call the following service

curl -s -X POST -H "content-type:application/json" "https://kodi:[email protected]:8080/jsonrpc" -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": "1", "method": "PVR.GetChannels", "params": {"channelgroupid": 1}}' -k

example output:

Install MotionEye

MotionEye is used as NVF for IP Cameras.

There are two recommended ways to install MotionEye. I recommend Docker since it is easier and unRAID can easily install it.

Method 1: Run as Container

For UnRAID, search for MotionEye in Apps, then install it to run as docker container.

Following is a screenshot of the container template

Before running the container, login to UnRAID shell as root, and copy the motioneye.conf to /etc/motioneye. The Dockerfile used to build this container image (https://github.com/malvarez00/Docker-MotionEye/blob/master/Dockerfile) does has that config file, but since we map the /etc/motioneye with the host folder in unRAID server, it will be emptied.

To initialize the config file, launch unRAID shell and execute the following.

cd /mnt/cache/appdata/MotionEye/config
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/box18box/motioneye/master/extra/motioneye.conf.sample
mv motioneye.conf.sample motioneye.conf

By default the container will use UTC+0 timezone, to set to your own region timezone, add a new environment variable TZ and set the value to your region. Click the container setting and click Add another path, port, variable.

The final tempalte should look like this.

Then run the container

Open a browser using Microsoft Edge on http://UNRAID_SERVER_IP:8765. For some reason launching it using Firefox will cause no response when adding any camera.

Enter admin as username and leave the password blank.

Add camera

MotionEye support ONVIF! So we can add any ONVIF compliant camera. In my case I added IMOU Ranger 2 camera.

Fill in the following:

URL: rtsp://192.168.1.18:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif
Username: admin (default)
Password: Find the Safety Code at the bottom of IMOU camera. It should be something like L276XX6F
Camera: Select RTSP/UDP for best performance

Adding MotionEye Integration in Home Assistant

The MotionEye Integration in HA require setting password for admin and surveillance. So set it on Motioneye webpage first.

Method 2: Run in VM

Python 3 version

sudo apt update
sudo apt --no-install-recommends install ca-certificates curl python3 python3-distutils -y
sudo apt --no-install-recommends install ca-certificates curl python3 python3-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev gcc libssl-dev -y

# install pip
curl -sSfO 'https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py'
sudo python3 get-pip.py
rm get-pip.py

# install and setup motioneye
sudo python3 -m pip install 'https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye/archive/dev.tar.gz'
sudo motioneye_init

Find for MotionEye Integration in HA.

Be sure to add http:// prefix in URL, other wise it will return error!

Click it and enable all settings!

There are some entities that are disabled by default, so we will enable all. Click Entities

Enable all integration

Dahua WiFi IP Camera 1435

Connect the camera to both power adapter and RJ45 to your router. For some reason I can't see the device hotspot appearing, so I have to setup using Dahua ConfigTool.

Select the IPC from the menu. It should show as Uninitialized.

After initialized

Click the Config button and it should open a web page. We shall configure it to connect to WiFi 2.4GHz.

Main page

Click Setting > Network

Wifi connection successful!

Let's look at some of the settings

Frigate

Frigate requires a MQTT server to sent event JSON.

Run MQTT Server Mosquitto as Docker Container

Install Mosquitto from unRAID Add-On menu.

Then go to /mnt/user/appdata/mosquitto/config and create a mosquitto.conf file.

Include the following options in the config file.

listener 1883
persistence true
allow_anonymous true

Without these settings, you will encounter the Error: Address not available error in the log when launching the container. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66402009/docker-eclipse-mosquitto2-0-7-error-address-not-available for more info.

Add Frigate Add-on to HA

Add the repo https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate-hass-addons

We will add Frigate Proxy since we already have it running as Docker Container. The purpose is to have an icon at the sidebar.

Add Frigate camera

Note that as of 2022-11-15 Frigate does not support h265 stream with rtmp. So you have to configure all existing main stream on your camera to use h264 instead, using either ConfigTool or the web UI.

On my IMOU Ranger 2 via ConfigTool

On my Dahua 1435W via Web UI

Configure Frigate HASS Card

After configuring Frigate Proxy add-on, configure the card to use Frigate JSMpeg as the live view provider for 10 FPS and smoother frame rate. The default is 1FPS. See https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/discussions/3066 for more info. From the official description:

Webhook configuration

My attempt:

Flow

1. Device state change
2. Switchbot API server call registered web hook
3. JSON payload sent to Home Assistant Automation for that webhook
4. Parse payload and sent to MQTT server (on another VM)
5. Sensor defined in configuration.yaml update its sensor value based on payload received from MQTT server

From motion sensor webhook

{'eventType': 'changeReport', 'eventVersion': '1', 'context': {'deviceType': 'WoPresence', 'deviceMac': 'D7F9AC484301', 'detectionState': 'DETECTED', 'timeOfSample': 1668615591571}}

# Example configuration.yaml entry
mqtt:
  sensor:
    - name: "Switchbot Motion Sensor Staircase Downstair"
      state_topic: "/home/staircase/switchbot/motion/D7F9AC484301"
      value_template: "{{ value_json.detectionState }}"
      availability:
        - topic: "/home/staircase/switchbot/motion"
      payload_available: "true"
      payload_not_available: "false"
     # json_attributes_topic: "home/sensor1/attributes"

share to reddit

Hi guys, in light of learning more about jinja2 templating and webhook automation in Home Assistant I've created an webhook automation using some SwitchBot sensors that I bought that is efficient in responding to Switchbot Webhook API for asynchronous event like door open, motion on.

Others solution that I found online and in HA forum usually parse the webhook payload on the mqtt sensor defined in configuration.yaml, whereas the service that I did will did all the parsing at the Automation script instead. It will then set the right state (as a string instead of JSON payload) to a dynamic topic depending on the type of the Switchbot sensor. The mqtt sensor defined in configuration.yaml will just have to specify a topic to subscribe for a state and just compare the string inside that topic. This method doesn't require any restart since no changes is done in configuration.yaml.

Of course you could create a binary_sensor in configuration.yaml without having to use the webhook that periodially pool SwitchBot API for any status. In fact this is how I started, but then it's not efficient since the event should be asynchronous, and that is exactly why Webhook is so important!

binary_sensor:
  # for switchbot motion sensor
  - platform: rest
    name: "Motion Sensor Staircase Downstair"
    device_class: motion
    resource: !secret switchbot_staircase_downstair_motion_sensor_status_url
    method: GET
    scan_interval: 1
    headers:
      Authorization: !secret switchbot_api
      Content-Type: "application/json"
    value_template: "{{ value_json.body.moveDetected }}"

Devices Used

• Switchbot Hub Mini
• SwitchBot Door Contact Sensor
• SwitchBot Motion Sensor
• Amazon Alexa

Prerequisite

1. You need to install MQTT integration and created an Automation with Webhook as trigger. I setup my MQTT broker as another VM in my unRAID server rather than an Add-on to simplify my workflow.

2. Register the Webhook URL that you received from Home Assistant Cloud (NabuCasa) and call Switchbot API. Note I'm still using Switchbot API v1 to simplify token auth 😃

curl example to register your HA webhook URL to Switchbot API server

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: <YOUR_SWITCHBOT_TOKEN>" -X POST https://api.switch-bot.com/v1.0/webhook/setupWebhook -d '{"action":"setupWebhook", "url": "https://hooks.nabu.casa/<AUTO_GENERATED_URL_FROM_NABUCASE>", "deviceList": "ALL"}'

You should receive the following response code 100 if it works

{"statusCode":100,"body":{},"message":"success"}

How the Webhook works

1. Your Switchbot sensor detected a state change and sent a message to Switchbot Hub.
2. Your Switchbot hub sent an update to Switchbot API server
3. Switchbot API server call registered web hook pointed to your HA (routed via NabuCasa server)
4. The webhook JSON payload is then sent to HA Automation for that registered webhook
5. Parse JSON payload and construct the right topic that is subscribed by each sensor defined in configuration.yaml, and update the value of that state. To keep it simple, the value is a string, rather than a JSON body that your mqtt sensor defined at configuration.yaml had to parse.
6. SEnd the payload to the MQTT server that you setup in HA MQTT integration.
7. mqtt sensor defined in configuration.yaml update its state value based on the payload (string) payload received from a subscribed topic from MQTT server

Implementation

What the Script Does

1. Alexa announce the notification depending on the sensor type, e.g. door open for Contact Sensor, and motion on for Motion Sensor.
2. The state is parsed from Switchbot Webhook JSON payload. The value depend on the sensor type, e.g. on/off for motion sensor and open/close for contact sensor.
3. An additional availability is parse, not needed for these kind of sensor but just to demonstrate you could do it too
4. The JSON received from Switchbot Webhook API is sent to another topic for debugging purpose.

MQTT Topic Design

The topic uses the following hierarchy:

/<HOME_NAME>/<SENSOR_LOCATION>/<MANUFACTURER>/<SENSOR_TYPE>/<DEVICE_ID>/{state,availability,json}

For Contact Sensor Note: My motion sensor device ID is C8F7D45BB07B

State change (open/close): /home/staircase/switchbot/contact/C8F7D45BB07B/state
Availability (online/offline): /home/staircase/switchbot/contact/C8F7D45BB07B/availability
Full JSON from Switchbot Webhook API: /home/staircase/switchbot/contact/C8F7D45BB07B/json

For Motion Sensor Note: My motion sensor device ID is D7F9AC484301

State change (open/close): /home/staircase/switchbot/motion/D7F9AC484301/state
Availability (online/offline): /home/staircase/switchbot/motion/D7F9AC484301/availability
Full JSON from Switchbot Webhook API: /home/staircase/switchbot/motion/D7F9AC484301/json

Paste the following YAML to the Automation Webhook trigger. You may change the topic accordingly.

Homekit Infused 5

My findings: DON"T USE IT, hard to customize. Use Dwain Dashboard instead TBA

Installation

Move all zip files into config folder

after install

Dwain Dashboard

Unraid

Install Unraid API

Note: Currenlty it might OOM and cause major slowdown in unRAID web GUI!

Find Unraid-API from Docker store

Be sure to configure the keys as follows. You'll need to add two keys manually since they were not there by default, MQTTRefreshRate and MQTTCacheTime. Notice I use the IP address in MQTTBroker variable since I run it as docker in unRAID, instead of running as HA add-on mosquitto.

After the container is running, go to its web UI and add a new instance.

Use the IP address for unRAID server instead of hostname, and uncheck HTTPS

After configure

• https://developer.tuya.com/en/docs/iot/Platform_Configuration_smarthome?id=Kamcgamwoevrx

In summary:

• Register account in iot.tuya.com. Note this is different than the Tuya smart app. I used the same email and password in both sites.
• Create a new Cloud Project
• Link the account with
