Great question, and yes you can do this at anytime, and since you have a working instance of HA you can already do this, just install the terminal app and then you can use the nmcli commands and connect

Thanks for your comment! I appreciate the insight. You're absolutely right that with just 2.5 microamps of current, it does sound quite feasible to have a battery-powered version. However, as far as I know, the current AI-on-the-Edge software doesn't natively support this feature. It would indeed be a valuable addition for anyone looking to deploy the ESP32CAM in battery-powered scenarios. I'd suggest reaching out to the developer directly to discuss the possibility of adding this functionality. You can check out the Feature Requests page on the project's GitHub to see if it's already been mentioned or to add your request. github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device/blob/rolling/FeatureRequest.md Sometimes, it's these kinds of community-driven ideas that push projects to the next level!

Hey there! I totally get the confusion-ESPresense can be a bit tricky when you're just getting started. To clarify: iBeacon vs. Tracked Device: In ESPresense, the ESP32 running the software acts as the receiver(base station), not the iBeacon or your Apple Watch. Whatever Bluetooth device you’re tracking is the actual device you should be putting in the YAML configuration. YAML Config: In the YAML config, you’ll want to put the ID of the device you found using MQTT explorer. This is what the ESP32 listens for to determine if your device is present. This device can be your watch, or a beacon. State Topics: When it comes to state topics in ESPresense, think of them as different "channels" that send information about where your tracked devices are. Just remember, it’s important to know that the actual name of the topic (like espresense/devices or espresense/rooms) isn’t as critical as you might think. The key point is that you can name the topic whatever you want-as long as Home Assistant is set up to listen to that specific topic, it will work. It could be espresense/devices, or mycustomtopic/devices, or anything else. I hope that helps clear things up! Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hey, I'm in Canada where we use split phase system, being 120/240 VAC as well, but the voltage on the transformer for my doorbell is 16 VAC, in either case you have to make sure that the device is rated for the current and voltage you're trying to switch. If your door bell uses 220vac you'll need an intermediary relay to handle it as an Esp device won't. For the automation side of it, yes you'd be able to do that. Hope this helps.

Hey, thanks for your support and comments. Everything you need to flash onto your esp is located on the developer's Github page

Hey great questions and I really should update this video. The best way to install this software is via the Web Installer provided on their GitHub page. It handles all the necessary files and configurations, making the process much smoother. You can manually install the bin files like I show and "AI-on-the-edge-device" isn’t fully compatible with ESPhome due to its specialized nature. For AI functionalities, stick with the provided installation methods. For the latest instructions and updates, check out the Github page

Thanks for sharing

It depends on the laptop you use, mine had a setting in the bios that I could change and allowed it to be closed, others that I've used required it to remain open

Hey, that error message is a known bug in the newer versions, you can try to use an older one, which is why I share the version I'm using, or use any other software like gnome disks like my pinned comment says.

I'm a creature of habit, you probably don't have to, experiment and get back to us!

Thank you for sharing, always great to learn new ways to get things done

Hey, thanks for sharing. On these older videos I was and actually still am learning, there's no manual when you sign up. That said, maybe it's time I update this video as there's been a lot of changes. Stay tuned! Again thank you for the feedback, it's a great way to improve!

Thanks for the compliment, this is where I get my hex files and this is the last one I can see for what you want to do. github.com/arendst/Tasmota/tree/development/tools/fw_SonoffZigbeeBridgePro_router_only_cc2652

@@BinaryTechLabs Thank you sir for this information !!!

@JJdeRamos5360 your welcome, cheers

Thanks for the support and the advice, yes you are absolutely right about having manual access if your network goes down.

You are welcome and welcome to raspi 😁

Kan confirm that it does not work. Everything after the + wildcard has to match as well. But thanks for the video :)

Thanks for the correction

Glad this video has helped you and so many others! Thanks for taking the time to comment ❤️

Could you please elaborate on what you need?

@@BinaryTechLabs it said something about you need authorization to do this sorry if my reply is vague

Oh never mind sorry for waisting your time I got it

Never a waste

Glad you got it all sorted.

Thank you very much for the sub!

Thank you for sharing that, definitely have to add the rotary sensor!

Thank you for sharing that.

Ty

Thank you for your support!

Hey, thanks for your comment and support, no I've not set up that feature for it, mine was just strictly out of laziness 😂

Sorry to hear that you aren't able to follow along, I will do my best in future to make things more clear

I'm not sure, I've not seen it by that name. However, a lot of people are having issues with etcher, so I suggest you try gnome disk tool instead, as mentioned in my pinned comment.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out.

You're welcome!

Hi! Thanks for reaching out. The issue you are having with applying the Papirus Dark icon theme is likely due to you using the latest Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, that recently switched from X11 to Wayland, which affects how themes and customizations work. Currently, there's no direct GUI tool for theme customization on Wayland in Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm. However, you can still customize your setup by trying out Wayland-compatible desktop environments like Sway. This may require some manual setup and command line work, but it's a good way to achieve the look you want. Don't worry, exploring Linux and Raspberry Pi is all about learning new things. Check out forums and guides for help, and keep experimenting. Good luck!

@@BinaryTechLabsThank you so much for taking the time to give a detailed reply. I am definitely running Bookworm. ChatGPT told me to clear the icon cache to try to fix things but now I can’t see any icons. Is there a way to reverse this?

I know chatgpt is a great resource, but keep in mind that it can only answer your questions with limited information, the more information you feed it the better the answer. As I mentioned before, welcome to the wonderful world of Linux, it's a powerful tool and I really encourage you to play around with it, the raspberry pi forums are a great starting point. Break your system as you have and try to fix it, you can always reload it. If you are worried about the set up, get it all just the way you want and take an image of your SD card, then you'd be able to restore it to that point any time. But in the meantime you can use this command and then reboot: sudo update-icon-caches Cheers

Thank you for that opportunity and feedback. I will definitely add that into future updates. What specifically were you struggling with?

@@BinaryTechLabs Well, I was trying to install Home assistant, mqtt and zigbee2mqtt on a dietpi installation. Where docker and mqtt was installed along the DietpiOS. I managed to get Homeassistant running, but adding the others and making it function with the Mqtt installed by the installer, turned out to be to much with ZERO Linux experience and trying to make the containers talk to each other was just to hard without a reasent guide on setting this stuff up. After working pretty much 2 days straight I had to giveup and install Home Assistant OS instead. This is also pretty hard and not as easy as I was expecting, but I'm all ready further along then I was with the dietpi installation. I was watching your video to try to understand how linux is working about file structure and so on, but was missing stuff like how to navigate around in the folders how to view folders and so on. All the basics, understanding the structure without being able to use the knowledge is only painfull. 🙂

Thanks for sharing this, I'll try to add some more information on navigation and file structure for future videos

Hey, that is a great question, I have no idea, I've looked into it and can't find anything, this is where I get the information man.voidlinux.org/nmcli.1 Maybe text user interface "nmtui-connect" helps as seen here : man.voidlinux.org/nmtui.1 I am not sure how you get connected to a wifi network like this that uses a captive portal where you have to use a username and password. I am really sorry that I can't help, but honestly I'm interested in hearing if you find an answer so it can help others.

Hello, I'm really sorry to hear about the trouble you've had with BalenaEtcher. It sounds like a frustrating experience, especially with the issues in getting HAOS to boot properly. I appreciate your patience and understand your concerns. I've updated the thumbnail to reflect this videos current status and also provided an alternative in the pinned comment in my new video. Given the problems some users, including yourself, have encountered with BalenaEtcher, I recommend giving the Gnome Disk Tool a try. It has worked smoothly for other viewers facing similar issues. Here's the link to the updated video where I address these issues and offer more current solutions: ua-cam.com/video/LKeRq00YUiQ/v-deo.html Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and I'm here to help. If you try out the Gnome Disk Tool or any other method and have feedback or further issues, please don't hesitate to share. Your input not only helps me tailor the content better but also assists others in the community who might be facing similar challenges.

maybe THE haos IMG file work ONLY Raspberrypi - Not pc motherboards. and work this img VirtualBox, in Virtual machine. BalenaEtcher maybe for raspberry flashes the img file correctly to disk - but not for pc. no raspberry, can't try. there are other files in the img file, which are very wrong files for booting the PC. therefore, it is a very pointless event to boot this flashed img file on the pc. for this you must have raspberry. @@BinaryTechLabs

Thanks for your comment, could you please expand on what you have in mind or are asking

Thanks for that

Hey great question. You can control the internal LED on the camera and you can even add external LED's. You can find out more here: jomjol.github.io/AI-on-the-edge-device-docs/External-LED/

​@@BinaryTechLabsAhhh but that's just genius. I did not know there was a led on the board.

No worries, you might find the internal one creates a glare, you can control the brightness as well, just a heads up.

Yes, if the dial is blocking my digits I get a 'NaN' reading, that is normal

You're welcome

Glad to have helped

It works with all the browsers I've tried so I don't see why not

@@BinaryTechLabs does it have offline spourt if I make a bookmark on home stream

Unfortunately no

In my updated one, there is a pinned comment on this issue. Use a different tool to flash your system, the problem seems to be with etcher

You restarted everything after installing?

@@BinaryTechLabs yes. restarted the contaimer, no luck. restarted the raspberry pi, still no luck. when i click on HACS in home assistant, it just shows me a single line (showing the HACS repsoitory info). it doesnt bring up the options do add stuff like in the video

Try clearing your browser cache

@@BinaryTechLabs I did that as well (CNTRL + F5) I believe is what you’re talking about? Still no luck

Hmm, I am so sorry that I couldn't help you, but you can always reach out to the developers and go from there.

Thank you and you are welcome

You're welcome!

Thanks, yeah the computer I was using and capture card wasn't the greatest, so it really shows on the video.

Thank you for your comment, unfortunately only one coordinator, but you can use "routers" to extend and build up your network. Typically constant powered devices act as routers

Thank you for your question! I'd like to clarify my statement about the Zigbee network's resilience. In my video, I mentioned that Zigbee networks typically use a mesh topology, which allows Zigbee devices to communicate with each other within the network, as long as you have "router" type devices in your network, which typically come in the form of plugs or switches. Usually they are powered at all times. This is in contrast to the star topology often used in Wi-Fi networks, where devices connect directly to a central router. In a Zigbee mesh network, Zigbee devices can communicate with any other devices within range through routers and, not just with the coordinator. This means that even if the coordinator or Home Assistant, were to fail, your Zigbee devices can still communicate with each other through the mesh network. This inherent feature of Zigbee networks provides a level of robustness and redundancy.

Thanks for that, glad that it was useful for you!

Thanks for the comment. You know off hand I couldn't tell you, I'm out on the road for work right now, and I'd need to play with the new software to find out.

@@BinaryTechLabs No hurry here, I had tried a lot of things to make it work but nothing really help. Even the official forums has no clue. I think the latest build doesn't hate theming.

Alright thanks for letting me know. I will do my best to get it done as soon as I can.

I've been tinkering with it for a few hours and I think gnome-tweaks kinda works changing widgets and icons but then it breaks panel and window borders.

I'm not surprised, keep in mind that this new OS uses wayland and is based on Debian 12 "Bookworm" try using gnome-tweaks

That's weird as it compatible with Mac, Linux and Windows. However you can use home assistant itself just monitor the topics you need, although you have to monitor them individually.

thanks for replying to my comment, but i have one more question. Can i use mqtt for manual integration with my home device? Because my home devices can't connect directly with home assistant for example my mitsubishi ac or i need something else for fix it? Btw i use home assistant container. Hope you can help me to answer this question ...

@SuciAmnh does your ac use or support mqtt? If so, then yes. If not, depending on what you are trying to do, you may be able to add an intermediate device like an esp32 device that uses mqtt to accomplish your goal.

@@BinaryTechLabs ooo oke i got it, thank you soo muchhhh

Glad that it was helpful.
