    Hello. Do you have experienced any problem with installing Add-on on this type of HAOS installation, because I have? Virtually, no matter what I do, a finish with message: "AddonManager.install blocked from execution, no host Internet connection". My system is installed like you suggest in this video on HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini with i5, yesterday, so it is up-to-date version. Then I found this commands: ha su repair ha core rebuild ha host reboot tha help me to instal one. Only one Add-on (Advanced SSH & Web Terminal) and after that, above message was back, now stay there, no matter what I done, including above commands, so, the problem is not with network or Internet, because this was not changed at all during this attempts in any aspect. Do you have any idea what I can do to solve this problem?

    I am stuck - I have done all the SDK setup and I can send broadcasts - but how can I set up a voice automation in Home Assistant where I can say "Hey Google, I'm home" and it will turn on the lights I have configured in HA?

    • @ThisSmartHouse
      @ThisSmartHouse 16 днів тому

      That's sort of the opposite of what the SDK does. The point of the SDK is to be able to control lights and devices that are in Google Home but not controllable and home assistant. If you want to control lights that are in home assistant with Google Home then you can either do the nabu casa subscription for the easy way or you can manually set up Google Assistant in home assistant. I know that's confusing and they probably need to do a better job of differentiating them. But once you have your lights in home assistant exposed to Google Home then you can set up a routine in Google Home to respond to the I'm home phrase. Let me know if you need more clarification!

    For the price, would have been nice for the reso to be at least 4 MP.

    The duo 2 and the duo 3 don’t connect to the RLN8-410

      They sure can. I have mine set up (Duo 3). It works with both hardware revs I have of the RL8. Is your firmware up to date?

      Double check you have the latest by checking the downloads page: reolink.com/download-center/ Make sure you put in the right hardware version. I found the auto update isn't reliable.

      Excellent! That got me too. Home Assistant will actually tell you if you need to update the firmware even if the NVR doesn't.

    can you turn the light feature ON/OFF or is it automatically going to turn on everytime it detects movement you made a comment that made me wonder this thanks

      Yes. You can control whether or not the camera will trigger the light on motion. Same thing applies to other Waze cameras.
