[SOLVED] I changed the IP of my Adguard yesterday and forgot to update DNS in HA. It updates just fine after I updated the DNS IP in HA. I'm guessing everything else worked outbound, despite the wrong DNS in HA, because I had the correct DNS set it in my router.

I wanted to update my HA this morning but got .

Which is a bit weird, because my HA is reachable from outside my home network via nabu casa, and all my integrations relying on internet work just fine. It can even ping outside my home network.

I'm in the same boat as this Home Assistant user / Redditor, but it looks like some of the key replies to his question have been deleted.

I moved into a house and it looks like Vivint had rewired the original security system with a 2GIG TAKE-345 wired to wireless converter (transmits on 345 MHz). Can anyone recommend a RTL-SDR dongle that's compatible with HAOS, preferably plug-and-play?

HAOS

• Core: 2024.2.5
• Supervisor: 2024.02.1
• Operating System: 12.0

I have an Aqara water leak sensor in my kitchen and weather sensor in my living room. I added them to the ZigBee network while they were in their permanent locations - heard that should help them stay connected. For some reason they keep becoming "unavailable" in Homeassistant. I've readded them four times now.

I have other ZigBee devices from other brands and haven't had any issues with them dropping. My ZigBee dongle is a Sonoff. I've never connected the Aqara devices to any Aqara app, and was also wondering if these get firmware updates. Any ideas why these two Aqara devices keep dropping?

So I have setup piper on a docker container. Integration with home assistant setup and it seems to work (albeit slowly) to my HomePods.

Just thinking what use cases do people have for TTS to give me some inspiration?

So I got a bunch of these Sylvania Smart+ bluetooth mesh led strips. They are using a RF SoC IC, Telink TLSR8258F1KET32. Does anyone know of a firmware like Tasmota or ESP32Home that would work for that IC?

I used DuckDNS for ages to access Home Assistant but it was flakey. I use Google Assistant so I need external access.

Nginx was the real bastard, it made my head hurt every time I used it. So eventually I gave Cloudflared a go.

I followed a blog and managed to get it working the free, with a free domain.

Until a couple of weeks ago. It just stopped working. Thanks to a Reddit post I worked out that it was because my free domain used .ga and that was taken down because it was used by hackers and tricksters and odious people who were up to no good.

So I've bought a .com address for 5 years for around £0.65 a month through Cloudflare themselves. It was easy to set up and seems to be pretty solid, although I've only had it a couple days.
