Thanks for the tip. Installed and as a result I just noticed my VM disk was getting fuller than expected. Removed a couple of snapshots and freed up a stack of space. Will set up a warning automation to notify me when disk exceeds a threshold.
Just been following your advises in this video. Did not expect that all working well. BUT: Surprise! Get all Datas I want from my Rapsberry Pi5! Many thanks, thumb up and abo...
Hi, nice video but do you know how to solve my issue, I don't find where i can change the update time (scan interval) of my sensors (cpu temp or usage disk or memory usage...) can you help me ?
Previously, when you were able to add them via YAML, you could have used scan_interval. Now, you can use build int option - check this documentation. I haven't tried, but this should work: www.home-assistant.io/common-tasks/general/#defining-a-custom-polling-interval
Thanks for your videos. You can explain topics very clearly and understandable. Could you tell us about how to control messages in the log file? Thanks!
Thanks you the video, my biggest problem has been the disk usage. it seems to get filled up easily. Is there a way to free up space? I am running HA on Proxmox VM and i have been expanding the VM disk to mitigate this issue. Please me know if there's a way to free up the HA database or drive.
There is simple way to compact database and also to remove older database entities. This is what usually fills in storage. Planning to do video on that.
Hi Bearded Tinker. first thanks for your videos! I would like to point you to another powerful app called glances. It works on both win and linux. You can even run it in a docker where it monitor the host. I use that setup on my unraid system. (Do not know about mac though) I find it better than system monitor. But depending how your Home Assistance instance is configured. I can see its merit.
Thanks - yes I've used glances but it's external to HA - this one is much simpler and great for just monitoring that system. Glances, same as UpTime Kuma are better in monitoring, but also more complex and required additional tools.
Which of the many network throughput options do you suggets? Network throughput in docker0 Network throughput in end0 Network throughput in hassio Network throughput in lo Network throughput out docker0 Network throughput out end0 Network throughput out hassio Network throughput out lo
i see an inception there... what's the poing in having the ip address shown, if you need to access the UI through THAT ip address to see it? :D the only thing that can be useful is to get a notification if that changes (and in this case, you did bad configuration, not setting up a fixed ip and eventual dhcp reservation...)
@@BeardedTinker i setup external access via cloudflare tunnel (domains with .xyz suffix cost just 1€ per year if JUST numeric, no alpha...), and local access via static ip out of dhcp range, work flawlessly

Glances is good if you use HA inside docker. Good for multiple machines too
The home assistant videos are always good. Nice work.
Glad you like them! And Thanks for becoming the member Ronald!!!

That's great!!! Thank you for the comment!!
Nice 😊 I can use this to control PWM Fan on RPI instead of always on based on CPU Temp
Nice - I use it for exactly the same thing - to control fan on RPi.

Glad you've found it useful!!!
My knowledge of English language is not perfect. But I will try to take this video as a lesson for HA.
With Greetings from Germany!
Thank you - Danke!!!
Thanks for another helpfull video! How I can get the Disk use in % instead of Gib?
Glad it was helpful! In my setup, sensor is called Disk Usage - it gives %, same as Memory Usage.
@@BeardedTinkerThanks for the answer. When I used the Dutch name (Schijfgebruik) instead of the english, the value in % was showned. Problem solved.

Thank you very much. Next video (on Thursday) will be about Maintaining Home Assistant and I'll also talk about Log files there - among other things.
Helped me tweak a few settings I did not know about.
Awesome to hear it!!!

Awesome. I can now avoid an issue I had - running out of disk space. Well, at least I get notified if it's over 85%.
Same here - I'm really pushing my HA Green - always above 80%
And that reminds me - have to go clean it now :)
Kao i obično, izvrstan uradak.
Hvala puno!!! :)
Ah, they did system monitor as an integration. (of course). Mini graph card is a good Good recommendation.

@@BeardedTinkerI see your point!
How do you get the links across the top toolbar?
Not sure I get what you are thinking off.
@@BeardedTinker I figured it out. When editing a dashboard you just add a new view or tab. Then those show up as clickable links across top menu bar
Which of the many network throughput options do you suggets?
Network throughput in docker0
Network throughput in end0
Network throughput in hassio
Network throughput in lo
Network throughput out docker0
Network throughput out end0
Network throughput out hassio
Network throughput out lo
Depends what you're running HA OS or Docker. But I would go for en0 - that should be your "external" connection form HA to world/network.
@@BeardedTinker Thank you for your reply - and the video itself. Do you mean end0?
i see an inception there... what's the poing in having the ip address shown, if you need to access the UI through THAT ip address to see it? :D
the only thing that can be useful is to get a notification if that changes (and in this case, you did bad configuration, not setting up a fixed ip and eventual dhcp reservation...)
If for example you use Nabu Casa internally and externally, that's a good way of shoving IP address. I'm using FQDN, so the same use case.

Heey, I tried to replicate what you did but I don't get the notification if temperature goes above X value, here's my automation, am I missing something?
- id: '1715039911353'
alias: New automation
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: numeric_state
entity_id:
- sensor.system_monitor_processor_temperature
above: 19.6
condition: []
action:
- service: notify.persistent_notification
metadata: {}
data:
message: test
mode: single
My current temperature is around 40º never below that so I don't understand why I can't get the notification
Did it fall below and than go above again? Or is it constantly above?
Trigger will only be triggered when it goes above, not if it is already above.
@@BeardedTinker you’re totally right, that was my problem!! Thank you so much 😄
