I'm still new to HA, but it seems like since Config is an event I can't check if the previous state was from "unknown". That only works for things that have values? I think?

Does anyone actually have home safes or does everyone just use bank safes? (or do you hide stuff under your mattress?)

I've considered a safe, but I've heard the paper contents may mold if left in there too long. Currently too lazy to manage that.

How to handle events firing on reboot?

Jump

paequ2 @lemmy.today 3w ago

Uh, don't think so. Here's what the whole automation looks like.

 yaml

    
alias: Inovelli switch 
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id:
      - event.inovelli_on_off_switch_config
conditions:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: switch.inovelli_on_off_switch_load_control
    state:
      - "on"
      - "off"
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 3
      seconds: 0
actions:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: event.inovelli_on_off_switch_config
            attribute: event_type
            state: multi_press_1
        sequence:
          - action: script.inovelli_switch_turn_on
            metadata: {}
            data: {}
mode: single

Wait for a Config button press (different than on/off rocker button)
Check if main rocker button has been in "on" or "off" state for at least 3 minutes
If yes, then run script

The main on/off switch is unaffected by this automation. (Double checked to make sure I could turn on and off the fan quickly.)

Aaaah, ok! Here's what I added based on your uptime idea.

 yaml

    
conditions:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: switch.inovelli_on_off_switch_load_control
    state:
      - "on"
      - "off"
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 3
      seconds: 0

I'm using if the switch has been in the "on" or "off" state for 3 minutes or more as my gate. (Since during the reboot the state is either "unavailable" or "unknown".)

Seems to be working so far! Thanks!

Whats a big problem you are facing?

Jump

paequ2 @lemmy.today 4w ago

Big problem: I've spent too much time trying to install Seafile in my environment.

Prevent it from getting worse: Maybe just use Filebrowser?

Oooooh, ok. TIL.

At least Arch and Debian seem to use top from procps-ng. Good to know.

I missed this part during my first read:

This screen allows you to customise which fields are displayed in the currently selected window. Use cursor keys (or Alt + j and k) to move up and down this list, d to toggle whether a field is displayed and s to choose the field by which the window is sorted.

and when I tried it, it seemed like my commands weren't doing anything... so in case anyone else finds this helpful...

How to sort columns in top.

Launch top
Press f (not SHIFT+F)
Use arrow keys or alt+j / alt+k to select a column
Press s to sort by the column you've currently selected
- note: you won't get any obvious feedback, this is normal... I guess
- look at the top line: whose current sort field is $COLUMN_NAME
- this line will change when you press s
Press q to exit the Fields Management screen
Selected column should now be sorted from largest to smallest

At this point, top may not look like it sorted the selected column. It may be helpful to tell top to highlight the currently sorted column. Press x to do this.

Now it should be easier to tell which column was sorted.

I would often just grab htop because I had no idea how to read the CPU usage out of top.

lol, same! 1t gets me 90% of the functionality I use in htop.

Wow. wat. This is top??

The only reason I use htop is because I never bothered to learn top. I'm totally down to avoid downloading and installing another utility though. The time to learn top is TODAY!
