Be sure to ⭐️ or 🔱 my repo if you find it useful! 🍻
This is my first Repo. I am trying to learn how to do this github thing. You will find more links to code and things for Home Assitant contained here. I am constantly messing with my Home Assistant each day, sometimes messing it up. I will try to keep this updated as much as possible. I use a configuration type called split configuration. So my main configuration.yaml file is broken out into many different files located in the directories. Once I load my config be sure to visit the package directory where the majority of the files exist. If interested in this method check out https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/packages/
I run my system on a Dell Optiplex 790 that is used from a doctor's office. I wiped it and Run Unraid on it as its operating system. I run HA core in a docker container within Unraid. I moved away from cloud based devices and most my smart home deivces are run locally via MQTT.
Here's the main components of my system:
| Amount | Item | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | Amazon Echo devices | How we talk to the house and notifications |
| 1 | Dell Optiplex | Runs Proxmox and Home Assistant |
| 1 | Sonoff Zigbee CC2531 USB Dongle | Zigbee Cordinator |
| 1 | Sonoff RF bridge | RF reciever (Tasmota Flashed) |
| 1 | Raspberry Pi4 | Use for Tuya convert, was my old HA operator |
Here's a run down of the devices that are used in my house.
-
Switches: I use mostly physical switches in my house. I use a combination of Ayococr and Gosund switches flashed with Tasmota via Tuya Covert.
-
Temperature and Humidity: I use Aquara Smart Home Temperature & Humidity Sesnors via Zigbee
-
Motion Sensors: I use a combination of Aquara Zigbee, Sonoff RF and Kerui 433 Mhz RF motion detectors.
-
Relays/switches I use Sonoff Basics flashed with Tasmota for lamps and other things that I wanted to make smart but not use a plug for. I have one Sonoff Basic ZBR3. Use it as a coordinator for my Zigbee system. Basically since it is always powered it helps with the mesh aspect of the Zigbee network.
-
Plugs The plugs I use are a comibnation of Sonoff S26 and Sonoff S31 power monitoring plugs I have them on just about everything even if they dont need to be switched on or off just for power monitoring.
-
RF Devices I use alot of RF devices throughout my house. The are very low power and battery operated. Here is yaml for the devices that I use. https://github.com/RamonBell/RF_devices/blob/main/yaml
I use node red for the majority of my automations. In one way or another the flows, have to due with mine and my wife's unique work schedule and how things are turned on and off based on if we are home or not or if we have a guest, or if we are on vacation, or if we are at work. Since my wife works nights and sleeps during the day, and I work four days a week very earily in the am, I use input booleans, location tracking and other methods to determine things that happen in the house.

Presence Detection:
| Type | Links/Descritption |
|---|---|
| NMAP | https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/nmap_tracker |
| MOBILE APP | https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mobile_app |
| MOTION DETECTORS | mix of RF and Zigbee |
I use mostly Node Red for things to happen in my house. I use Node red for more complicated automations with complex conditions. 1) I like the visualization of the flow. 2) I suck at Yaml and unless I can use the UI the automation, or steal someone else's code, it will fail. Here is a link for my Node Red flows: https://github.com/RamonBell/my_ha_setup/blob/main/nodered%20flows
I use alot of sensors that make decisions for my home automations
