Today I upgraded Home Assistant to the latest version 0.96.5.

Hoe lang kun je al profielen koppelen bij AH?

I have found the problem! The indexer used the status of the post, which wouldn't change, instead of the status in the loop. Except for the last status, it always removed the book from the "shelf".

It seems the indexer for the read posts doesn't work yet. Somehow only finished posts are handled properly, but not to-read or reading posts.

I would like to know how well the current system, for deciding if the washing machine is running, is working.

I'll try to get the info from InfluxDB. It should be in there.

Sometimes a solution can be very simple. Graphing numbers and boolean: temperature and heating. Add the temperatures to the left axis and the heating state to the right axis with min and max as 0 and 1 respectively.

Yesterday I flashed the final 2 of 8 Teckin SP22 Smart Sockets with ESPHome according to the guide at Intermittent Technology.

I did have to make some changes to the esphome.yaml code. Finally it looks like this:

Home Assistant contains a component to control an OpenTherm Gateway, but it seemed not very stable. The gateway sometimes has timeouts and these also happen in Home Assistant. The problem was that HA stopped in the middle of the night and became unresponsive. To resolve this problem I have created a go program that copies temperatures from and to the gateway. This is a lot more stable as the timeouts don't hinder the processing. With a input_select component and a few automations I now have a more stable and responsive heating control system.

I'm currently improving the auth handling of the micropub node for Node-RED
