![]() Message: Low air temperature in the loft water tank c service: notify.mobile_app_brians_phone alias: Low Temp Alert Water Tank AreaĮntity_id: sensor.temploftwater_temperature This automation sends a message to a mobile phone if the temperature drops below 10C. We have a temperature sensor installed next to our water tank in the loft. alias: 'Brian TV Auto Off'Įntity_id: sensor.tplinkbriantv_current_consumptionĭevice_id: 70ce7f6ebfd4dd9355e91efd24b2654c This has helped to reduce standby power used by TV and media devices. We use Sonoff smart buttons to toggle the TV power status. This monitors the TV smart plug and after the TV has been on standby for more than 5 minutes it turns off the TV and sound bar power. Since moving to Home Assistant we have set up several useful automations to send status reports and alerts. ![]() ![]() The MQTT server which is used to store many of the sensor's data also runs in a docker container on the same machine. The current third installation replaced the 1-Wire USB dongle and we moved to run on our small Linux home server using a Docker image running in its own container. This was in use for several months on a Raspberry Pi until the SD card corrupted and we lost all the data. We also added ZigBee sensors and the MQTT server. The second installation fixed the naming issue with sensors prefixed with their type and then location. ![]() We didn’t plan the sensor names in Home Assistant which resulted in a mess of names and sensor locations. The first was running on a Raspberry Pi and using older 1-Wire sensors with a USB dongle and 433 Mhz wireless sensors. This is our third installation and configuration of Home Assistant since we first started using the platform. We moved to use Home Assistant from home-assistant.io in 2016 to give more detailed data logging than our online home logger at / which updates every five minutes. In the 10 years since our first Raspberry Pi data logger was added to our home, the home data logging and automation system has grown with the addition of many sensors, using a mixture of wired, Wi-Fi and ZigBee wireless communication.
