Would I be able to get the battery charge level exposed to home assistant with this integration? I want the battery level so I can turn on the power outlet to start charging when it gets down to 20% and off when it gets to 80%. Doing this helps save the battery. Thank you for your time.
I am glad to hear that. If I already have mqtt already running with some outlet I control. Can it set up another user for the control of windows and it not interfere with anything l have set up before. When I get some free time I will go though your video and set it up. I am not interested in the notification system. I would like to see a video on how you did your battery charging system. I am sorry that I might contact you a lot. I am relatively new to home assistant. I am a retired computer programmer but not in the new languages they use today. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all.@@drroxgaming888.
Thanks. I had most of the pieces I just needed to install it and connect the dots. I'm going for a notification pop up of the camera image the DOODS ad-on is reacting to. Currently I have to go and look or message it to myself. Immediate response buttons would be even better.
Hi @keyboarderror1 , that looks like a very interesting project you have there. I have not heard of the DOODS ad-on (ref: shorturl.ac/7cr5j) before. I'll have a look into this and see if I could make a video on it. Thanks for the hot topic :)
@@smart_home_australia DOODS is really neat, it's not always perfect at recognition but it takes things beyond just motion detection. I'm using the pytorch/yolov5 detector which is more than the Raspberry Pi my Home Assistant is on can run so I moved it to Docker Desktop on a Windows PC. With this agent I can now monitor and reboot that box if need be too. Thanks for helping me integrate it to my system.
@@smart_home_australia Cool! I've found DOODS handy to detect people and vehicles in places they usually aren't like my driveway. I created audible alerts with Alexa and Google. Good for catching deliveries. I have armed alarm triggers that will send me photos of people detections while I'm away or asleep. It's like someone's watching the cameras all the time. Animal detections are useful, but it can see a raccoon as either a cat or a dog so you get what you get. I've no idea how to train additional models. GPU acceleration would be great especially with a lot of cameras, but I can't get that working currently. A purpose-built PC running Home Assistant OS might be able to use the GPU enabled version of the ad-on, but I'm not there yet. Anyway, have fun! Looking forward to future videos!
HI @jsjiang6120 , that's a great question. Direct control of the host machine (like accessing the host’s file system or executing commands on the host) is typically not possible from within the VM for security reasons. Hence what you are suggesting is essential possible, although I have not tried it.
At the bottom of the menu on the left hand side, scroll to the bottom, the last entry is your profile. Press that, scroll to the bottom and you’ll find create token. Then you should be able to follow the remainder of the video. Hope that helps.
@@smart_home_australia volume control from MQTT works, I created commands volume up, volume down and they work from HA side. Notifications work as well but unfortunately I can't see the media player (it's enabled in HASS Agent on my Windows PC)
OK if everything else is working I think you might have found an undocumented "feature". Have you looked in the Logs to see if there is a clue as to why its it not working?
@@izabeldeoliveira572 I checked the breaking changes and there is nothing mentioned. Maybe check the logs (use: hassagent.readthedocs.io/en/latest/troubleshooting/) and then contact the developer.
Sure, I'd suggest using a combination of WoL and RPC Add-On. To Wake Up Your PC: - Enable the Wake on LAN feature on your PC and the network adapter. - Add and configure the Wake on Lan integration and switch in Home Assistant. - You can use the wake_on_lan integration in Home Assistant. Just remember to add "wake_on_lan:" to your configuration.yaml. Then, create a new switch to turn the computer on. To Sleep Your PC: - Install and configure the RPC Shutdown add-on in Home Assistant. - Add and configure the RPC Shutdown switch in Home Assistant. - You can use the shell_command to send a command to your PC to put it to sleep. Then, create an automation to trigger the sleep command. Actually, just walking through it, it's pretty complex. Maybe another video :)
Although what happens if your system finds and issue and need manual intervention, for instance when you have a word document unsaved. So use with caution as it is user case specific.
Amazing! Great video. Covers heaps with no fluff, clear and concise, thank you!
Yep, I'm more about the outcome for you, than listening to my own voice :)

Yep, I use this myself. You can easily add a battery sensor in the config and it will be shown in mqtt

Hi @raymondknappJr, Check the documentation under "new sensors" shorturl.ac/7cpuf. I've not done it, but looks possible.

Arhh now I can see what you are doing. NICE !! Keep watching the channel as I might have a solution for you coming in the next two weeks ;)

Could the HA control the Windows PC if HA is built on the VM of this PC?
yes as long as the virtual network allows the VM to communicate to the Windows host over IP.

the mqtt keeps saying connecting then failed
What error message do you get in the logs?
Totally lost you @ 4:02 Create Token ? missed where that is. Rgds.

Everything works perfectly on my end but i can't get media player showing up
Have you confirmed that the HASS.Agent Integration within HA is setup and working correctly? Can you control the volume?

Same here, the media_player is no longer showing up since the 2024.03 update.

Isn't Hass Agent a dead project?
Not that I’m aware. Last release was 14th Nov 2022.
@smart_home_australia So no new updates in a year + and home assistant is a whole new platform.
True, but there is no notes on ceasing development and the integration works well. Do you know of an alternative ?
@smart_home_australia On Windows 11 installing the full android app. Using the android subsystem for Windows.
@Asgard2693 I am a volunteer translator for Hass Agent and let me tell you, that this project is more alive then ever.
how can i from HA shut down my pc and open it ????????????????
with an automation

- Add and configure the Wake on Lan integration and switch in Home Assistant.
