  • The docker config is nothing special:

    collabora:
        hostname: collabora
        image: collabora/code
        restart: "no"
        privileged: true
        cap_add:
          - MKNOD
        networks:
          - default
        env_file: collabora.env
        ports:
          - 8054:9980
    

    Env: Besides username, password, and this line:

    extra_params=--o:ssl.enable=true
    

    I have 2 other variables set: domain and aliasgroup1. Is domain supposed to refer to the Collabora domain or the NextCloud domain? I actually can’t remember where I got the aliasgroup1 from, but it was probably during my googling to try and get things working. I remember reading that the ‘.’ characters had to be escaped because those lines were used in a reflex.



  • Like the author of that article, I had never heard about Huginn until just now, but when IFTTT went down the shitter for me (around 2018) was about the same time I started using Home Assistant. I found that HA had every one of the service connections available that I used to use through IFTTT, so I naturally just re-implemented all of my flows as automations. HA has only added capabilities since those earlier days. It’s not just for “home” automation.

    If you’re interested in more graphical representations of your automations, HA can have NodeRed as a plug-in.

    A person’s state becomes the name of the zone when they’re in them.

    In the current version of Home Assistant, if a person is in two overlapping zones, what happens? It’s possible to be in that state today.

    I suppose it doesn’t really matter though. I’ve named all my home zones similarly: home1, home2, etc. It would be easy enough to check for a zone where the object_id starts with “home”

    I am pretty sure I’m not confused. I want to group zones together so they can be used in automation triggers and I can change the group’s membership and not have to change every automation trigger. The group’s state should indicate the number of person entities that were in any zone in the group.

    I’m not talking about areas at all.

    Just to be clear, I don’t believe grouping zones is currently possible. It’s just a want I have.

    Like when you create a zone, it’s a circle. It has a radius. I want a zone that is an arbitrary shape, so I compose it out of several smaller zones. I want to formally make it a single zone in Home Assistant by grouping them. Currently you can’t add zones to groups or create a zone with type: group or anything like that.
