 uep | i think it varies dramatically based on the system being controlled. I have a Sensibo thing to squirt IR codes at the reverse cycle AC head unit. It's.. eh, fine, but annoyingly cloud based. I also have a broadlink device that can do the same locally, but I have to set up all the codes and .. eh, haven't. If you have hydronic / plumbed radiators, it's pretty common to use say a zigbee thermostat valve controller on the radiator itself, plus something else on whatever the heat source is (in some apartment cases, not at all under your control). There are also replacement thermostat units for wall-mount controls of existing systems, like ducted. | 03:08:50 |
| uep | (none of this is especially nixos-specific of course, there's probably a lot of relevant discussion on the h-a discourse forum too, if you want to go wading in) | 03:10:52 |

 Ekleog | Got it, thank you for your feedback! I'm indeed in an appartement unit, but I do have something that looks like a thermostat valve input just near the heat counter — but until now I've been told to adjust it by hand with a claw whenever I need to adjust the heating overall and not room-by-room.
I'll look into zigbee thermostat valves then, as opposed to the shelly ones, thank you! | 13:41:02 |

 K900 | Pro tip: the "shell command" integration actually just swallows stdout/stderr from the command | 09:20:29 |
| K900 | So if it fails, you can't tell why | 09:20:35 |
| Ekleog | @hexa:lossy.network: Awesome, thank you for the link! | 13:14:25 |

| continous | What exactly am I supposed to do to enable the decora_wifi component for home-assistant? I've added it to the components list and made a light config for it, but homeassistant errors out saying decora_wifi is not a module. I'm unsure of what's going wrong or what I'm missing. | 23:00:58 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | we are missing the decora-wifi package in nixpkgs for that component | 23:10:31 |
| continous | So someone needs to package it then? | 23:10:58 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | yep | 23:11:15 |
| continous | I'm gonna go try and fail horrible until I succeed by sheer luck. | 23:12:22 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | enjoy 😄 | 23:31:01 |
| Ekleog | Hmm how do y'all configure multiple dashboards? I've been trying to add mine in environment.etc and refer to them from my hass config, but they… seem to always be exactly type: original-states, so I guess it's not actually reading them? | 23:53:21 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | just services.home-assistant.lovelaceConfig | 23:55:35 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | * just services.home-assistant.lovelaceConfig | 23:55:40 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | I have both declarative setups as well as imperative ones | 23:56:00 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | * I have both declarative setups as well as imperative ones (where lovelaceConfig = null) | 23:56:12 |
| 30 Mar 2025 |
| Ekleog | hmm so how do you do multiple dashboards with a single lovelaceConfig? | 00:01:18 |
| Ekleog | My understanding was you're supposed to do something like this to get multiple dashboards:
lovelace.dashboards = {
lovelace-volets = {
mode = "yaml";
title = "Volets";
icon = "mdi:window-shutter-open";
filename = "/etc/home-assistant/volets.yml";
};
};
| 00:01:53 |
| Ekleog | unless there's some way to have multiple dashboards with a single big yaml file? but I've been unable to figure any such way out :/ | 00:02:48 |
