Thus, it is not surprising that baby monitors are one of the fastest growing baby product category. However, many of the baby monitors available in the market are rather dumb and expect the parents to keep looking at the video stream or listen to the audio. This how-to will help you create a smart baby monitor on a budget and integrate it with Home-Assitant. Instead of relying on the poor quality baby monitor speakers, we use our existing speakers (e.g., Sonos). We can also send notifications (with pictures) to avoid constant monitoring of the feed.

+ +

Obviously, you can use the setup as a general purpose surveillance system to monitor noise in the whole house.

+ + + +

Setup

+ +

We need an IP-camera that can capture sound in the baby’s room. It is also possible to use a Raspberry Pi with a microphone and send the audio to our Home-Assistant with ffmpeg -f alsa -i hw:1,0 -vn -f rtp rtp://236.0.0.1:2000 over multicast. We can set input option on Home-Assistant side to rtp://236.0.0.1:2000 in same network.

+ +

Next, we attach a ffmpeg noise binary sensor to our IP-camera. The sensor has an output option that allows us to send the output to icecast2 server for playing over speakers integrated with Home-Assistant (e.g., Sonos). We can use the binary sensor in our automation. You can ignore the icecast2 setup if you don’t want to play the audio after the noise sensor trigger.

+ +

+We change the platform name for binary sensor in 0.38 from ffmpeg to ffmpeg_noise. Also all service going to component and was rename from binary_sensor.ffmpeg_xy to ffmpeg.xy. +

+ +

On Raspbian Jessie, you can setup ffmpeg and install a icecast2 server using:

+
$ sudo echo "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
+$ sudo apt-get update
+$ sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install ffmpeg
+$ sudo apt-get install icecast2
+
+
+ +

We setup a icecast mount point for our babyphone and update /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml:

+
<mount>
+    <mount-name>/babyphone.mp3</mount-name>
+    <stream-name>Babyphone</stream-name>
+
+    <username>stream_user</username>
+    <password>stream_pw</password>
+</mount>
+
+
+ +

Now we can add the noise sensor to Home-Assistant. We can lower the sensitivity of the sensor (so that you are not inundated with notifications for every cough of the baby) to 2 seconds using the duration option. The sensor should wait 60 seconds before restoring and it prevent us that a wine break will triggering a new alarm.

+ +

We can optimize the audio stream for human voice by using a highpass filter with 300Hz and a lowpass filter with 2500Hz. This filters out all non-human sounds such as background noise. We can even add a volume amplifier if the microphone volume is too low (you can remove it from extra_arguments). For icecast2 we convert the audio stream to mp3 with samplerate of 16000 (which is the minimum for Sonos speakers). We use peak to set the threshold for noise detection, where 0 dB is very loud and -100 dB is low.

+ +
binary_sensor:
+ - platform: ffmpeg_noise
+   input: rtsp://user:pw@my_input/video
+   extra_arguments: -filter:a highpass=f=300,lowpass=f=2500,volume=volume=2 -codec:a libmp3lame -ar 16000
+   output: -f mp3 icecast://stream_user:stream_pw@127.0.0.1:8000/babyphone.mp3
+   initial_state: false
+   duration: 2
+   reset: 60
+   peak: -32
+
+
+ +

We use the option initial_state to prevent the ffmpeg process from starting with Home-Assistant and only start it when needed. We use an input_boolean to control the state of ffmpeg services using the following automation.

+ +
input_boolean:
+  babyphone:
+    name: babyphone
+    initial: off
+
+automation:
+ - alias: 'Babyphone on'
+   trigger:
+     platform: state
+     entity_id: input_boolean.babyphone
+     from: 'off'
+     to: 'on'
+   action:
+     service: ffmpeg.start
+     entity_id: binary_sensor.ffmpeg_noise
+
+ - alias: 'Babyphone off'
+   trigger:
+     platform: state
+     entity_id: input_boolean.babyphone
+     from: 'on'
+     to: 'off'
+   action:
+     service: ffmpeg.stop
+     entity_id: binary_sensor.ffmpeg_noise
+
+
+ +

Trigger a alarm

+ +

Now we can make a lot stuff. Here is a simple example of an automation what should be possible with Sonos speakers.

+ +
automation:
+ - alias: 'Babyphone alarm on'
+   trigger:
+     platform: state
+     entity_id: binary_sensor.ffmpeg_noise
+     from: 'off'
+     to: 'on'
+   action:
+    - service: media_player.sonos_snapshot

+    - service: media_player.volume_set

+      data:
+        volume_level: 0.4
+    - service: media_player.play_media
+      entity_id: media_player.bedroom
+      data:
+        media_content_type: 'music'

+       - light.bedroom
+      data:
+        brightness: 150
+
+ - alias: 'Babyphone alarm off'
+   trigger:
+     platform: state
+     entity_id: binary_sensor.ffmpeg_noise
+     from: 'on'
+     to: 'off'
+   action:

    + + +

    One of the hardest part of being a parent is keeping a constant eye on the baby to make sure that baby is doing well. Thus, it is not surprising that baby monitors are one of the fastest growing baby product category. However, many of the baby monitors available in the market are rather dumb and expect the parents to keep looking at the video stream or listen to the audio. This how-to will help you create a smart baby monitor on a budget and integrate it with Home-Assitant. Instead of relying on the poor quality baby monitor speakers, we use our existing speakers (e.g., Sonos). We can also send notifications (with pictures) to avoid constant monitoring of the feed.

    + +

    Obviously, you can use the setup as a general purpose surveillance system to monitor noise in the whole house.

    + + + +

    Setup

    + +

    We need an IP-camera that can capture sound in the baby’s room. It is also possible to use a Raspberry Pi with a microphone and send the audio to our Home-Assistant with ffmpeg -f alsa -i hw:1,0 -vn -f rtp rtp://236.0.0.1:2000 over multicast. We can set input option on Home-Assistant side to rtp://236.0.0.1:2000 in same network.

    + +

    Next, we attach a ffmpeg noise binary sensor to our IP-camera. The sensor has an output option that allows us to send the output to icecast2 server for playing over speakers integrated with Home-Assistant (e.g., Sonos). We can use the binary sensor in our automation. You can ignore the icecast2 setup if you don’t want to play the audio after the noise sensor trigger.

    + +

    +We change the platform name for binary sensor in 0.38 from ffmpeg to ffmpeg_noise. Also all service going to component and was rename from binary_sensor.ffmpeg_xy to ffmpeg.xy. +

    + +

    On Raspbian Jessie, you can setup ffmpeg and install a icecast2 server using:

    +
    $ sudo echo "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
+$ sudo apt-get update
+$ sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install ffmpeg
+$ sudo apt-get install icecast2
+
    +
    + +

    We setup a icecast mount point for our babyphone and update /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml:

    +
    <mount>
+    <mount-name>/babyphone.mp3</mount-name>
+    <stream-name>Babyphone</stream-name>
+
+    <username>stream_user</username>
+    <password>stream_pw</password>
+</mount>
+
    +
    + +

    Now we can add the noise sensor to Home-Assistant. We can lower the sensitivity of the sensor (so that you are not inundated with notifications for every cough of the baby) to 2 seconds using the duration option. The sensor should wait 60 seconds before restoring and it prevent us that a wine break will triggering a new alarm.

    + +

    We can optimize the audio stream for human voice by using a highpass filter with 300Hz and a lowpass filter with 2500Hz. This filters out all non-human sounds such as background noise. We can even add a volume amplifier if the microphone volume is too low (you can remove it from extra_arguments). For icecast2 we convert the audio stream to mp3 with samplerate of 16000 (which is the minimum for Sonos speakers). We use peak to set the threshold for noise detection, where 0 dB is very loud and -100 dB is low.

    + +
    binary_sensor:
+ - platform: ffmpeg_noise
+   input: rtsp://user:pw@my_input/video
+   extra_arguments: -filter:a highpass=f=300,lowpass=f=2500,volume=volume=2 -codec:a libmp3lame -ar 16000
+   output: -f mp3 icecast://stream_user:stream_pw@127.0.0.1:8000/babyphone.mp3
+   initial_state: false
+   duration: 2
+   reset: 60
+   peak: -32
+
    +
    + +

    We use the option initial_state to prevent the ffmpeg process from starting with Home-Assistant and only start it when needed. We use an input_boolean to control the state of ffmpeg services using the following automation.

    + +
    input_boolean:
+  babyphone:
+    name: babyphone
+    initial: off
+
+automation:
+ - alias: 'Babyphone on'
+   trigger:
+     platform: state
+     entity_id: input_boolean.babyphone
+     from: 'off'
+     to: 'on'
+   action:
+     service: ffmpeg.start
+     entity_id: binary_sensor.ffmpeg_noise
+
+ - alias: 'Babyphone off'
+   trigger:
+     platform: state
+     entity_id: input_boolean.babyphone
+     from: 'on'
+     to: 'off'
+   action:
+     service: ffmpeg.stop
+     entity_id: binary_sensor.ffmpeg_noise
+
    +
    + +

    Trigger a alarm

    + +

    Now we can make a lot stuff. Here is a simple example of an automation what should be possible with Sonos speakers.

    + +
    automation:
+ - alias: 'Babyphone alarm on'
+   trigger:
+     platform: state
+     entity_id: binary_sensor.ffmpeg_noise
+     from: 'off'
+     to: 'on'
+   action:
+    - service: media_player.sonos_snapshot
+      entity_id: media_player.bedroom
+    - service: media_player.sonos_unjoin
+      entity_id: media_player.bedroom
+    - service: media_player.volume_set
+      entity_id: media_player.bedroom
+      data:
+        volume_level: 0.4
+    - service: media_player.play_media
+      entity_id: media_player.bedroom
+      data:
+        media_content_type: 'music'
+        media_content_id: http://my_ip_icecast:8000/babyphone.mp3
+    - service: light.turn_on:
+      entity_id:
+       - light.floor
+       - light.bedroom
+      data:
+        brightness: 150
+
+ - alias: 'Babyphone alarm off'
+   trigger:
+     platform: state
+     entity_id: binary_sensor.ffmpeg_noise
+     from: 'on'
+     to: 'off'
+   action:
+    - service: media_player.sonos_restore
+      entity_id: media_player.bedroom
+    - service: light.turn_off:
+      entity_id:
+       - light.floor
+       - light.bedroom
+

    One of the hardest part of being a parent is keeping a constant eye on the baby to make sure that baby is doing well. Thus, it is not surprising that baby monitors are one of the fastest growing baby product category. However, many of the baby monitors available in the market are rather dumb and expect the parents to keep looking at the video stream or listen to the audio. This how-to will help you create a smart baby monitor on a budget and integrate it with Home-Assitant. Instead of relying on the poor quality baby monitor speakers, we use our existing speakers (e.g., Sonos). We can also send notifications (with pictures) to avoid constant monitoring of the feed.

    + +

    Obviously, you can use the setup as a general purpose surveillance system to monitor noise in the whole house.

    Another two weeks have passed and we are pleased to present Home Assistant 0.32.

    - -

    Hacktoberfest

    -

    The Hacktoberfest is over now. Home Assistant made the 2nd and the 3rd place out of almost 30’000 participating repositories with a total of 528 pull requests closed - that’s an average of 17 pull requests a day! Thanks to all the contributors but also to the team of reviewers. This wouldn’t been possible without you 👏 .

    - -

    Improved error reporting

    -

    This release has improved the reporting when a config validation error occurs. Thanks to @kellerza you will now get a persistent notification added to your UI when this happens.

    - -

    Asynchronous

    -

    This release contains the first asynchronous sensor and camera platforms. @pvizeli and @fabaff ported most of the “internal” sensors to async programming. We hope that you will enjoy the new speed.

    - -

    @balloob and @pvizeli worked a lot on the improvement of the core itself.

    - -

    Weather component

    - -

    For a long time we have had a bunch of weather sensors but it’s getting better: There is now a Weather component. Sorry, not much more to tell right now. The plans are to create a weather UI element and to improve the initial implementation.

      It is well known that you are either a good programmer or a good designer. It’s rare you’ll meet someone that is both. That’s why it wasn’t surprising to anyone that the logo that I made was mediocre — at best. Luckily, Jeremy Geltman has come to the rescue and contributed a brand new logo for Home Assistant.

      + +

      The new logo follows Googles material design spec. It uses the blue color that Home Assistant uses in the interface and it comes in two versions: a high detailed version (for homescreen icon etc) and a simple version (for favicon etc).

      + +

      + +The old logo, the new detailed logo and the new simple logo. +

        +

        Another two weeks have passed and we are pleased to present Home Assistant 0.32.

        + +

        Hacktoberfest

        +

        The Hacktoberfest is over now. Home Assistant made the 2nd and the 3rd place out of almost 30’000 participating repositories with a total of 528 pull requests closed - that’s an average of 17 pull requests a day! Thanks to all the contributors but also to the team of reviewers. This wouldn’t been possible without you 👏 .

        + +

        Improved error reporting

        +

        This release has improved the reporting when a config validation error occurs. Thanks to @kellerza you will now get a persistent notification added to your UI when this happens.

        + +

        Asynchronous

        +

        This release contains the first asynchronous sensor and camera platforms. @pvizeli and @fabaff ported most of the “internal” sensors to async programming. We hope that you will enjoy the new speed.

        + +

        @balloob and @pvizeli worked a lot on the improvement of the core itself.

        + +

        Weather component

        + +

        For a long time we have had a bunch of weather sensors but it’s getting better: There is now a Weather component. Sorry, not much more to tell right now. The plans are to create a weather UI element and to improve the initial implementation.

        + +

        All changes

        Thanks to Anton Kireyeu we are able to present another awesome Jupyter notebook. I guess that you all know the graph which Github is using to visualize your commits per day over a time-line. It’s a so-called heatmap. If there are more commits, it’s getting hotter. The latest notebook is capable to do the same thing for your devices. To be more precise, for the hours your devices are home.

          It’s understandable, Polymer is quite the underdog in the world of web frameworks. A corporate backer does not guarantee popularity or an active community and this shows in the number of projects using Polymer.

          - -

          Still, we use Polymer and it’s awesome. To explain why, I’ll be referencing the React workflow quite a bit, as they do a lot of things right, and show how it is done in Polymer.

          - -

          Polymer gives us components for the web, just like React, but based on web standards: web components, CSS variables. These standards don’t have wide browser support yet but it’s being implemented by every major browser: It’s the future. For now they are being polyfilled and that works just fine but in the future the Home Assistant web app will be able to run native in the browsers == fast.

            Today the news spread that Google will be shutting down the Revolv hubs. And shutting down here doesn’t mean they stop selling or supporting them - no, they are sending an update to each hub to turn your perfectly fine home automation hub into a useless piece of plastic. The fact that this seemed like a good idea by Google astonishes me. If anything, they should have gone the same route as ninjasphere: open it all up and let people decide on the fate of their own hub.

            The cloud should be treated as an extension to your smart home instead of running it.

            -
            - -

            Your hub should not be affected when your internet breaks down or the company that sold you your hub goes out of business. It should work locally so that it can continue to work even long after the vendor goes out of business or decides to kill it. Preferably, your hub should also be open so that the community can take over development after the vendor stops caring.

            - -

            Unless you can afford losing a product here and there, be cautious when buying IoT products that depend on the cloud from companies that are not well established. The chances are high that they go bankrupt or get acquired and closed. This however is easier said than done as Gartner predicts that by 2017, 50 percent of IoT solutions will originate in startups that are less than three years old.

              People often ask me about my vision for Home Assistant. Before I can describe where I want to go with Home Assistant, I should first talk about how home automation would look in my ideal world. This will be the aim of this post. I’m not going to focus on protocols, networks or specific hubs. That’s all implementation details. Instead, this post will focus on what is most important: the interaction between the users and their home.

              You should not have to adapt to technology.

              - -

              When people start using home automation, they always experience home control first: being able to control devices in new ways using a phone or computer. They believe the future is now and their app will be their remote for their lives. They only focus on what they are getting, not on what they are losing. You install some light bulbs and all of a sudden you are no longer able to use the light switches. You’ll arrive at home at night and have to pull out your phone, open the app, let it connect and finally you’ll be able to turn on the light. All while turning the light on could have been a switch away.

              Yes, you can solve this with presence detection. What if your phone runs out of battery? You’ll have to resort to the switch again.

              If you find that using your new home devices is cumbersome, the promise of home automation technology has failed you. Your lights should work with both a switch (or button) at the entrance of your room and via presence detection. Honestly, there are hardly any valid use cases for being able to control lights from your phone except for showing off.

        This is a guest post by Home Assistant user and contributor Nolan Gilley.

        - -

        In our house, laundry has been a struggle for quite some time. Our washer and dryer both lack a buzzer which leads to forgotten laundry, and stinky mess that needs to be rewashed. I decided to create a solution by monitoring the washer and dryer myself with some cheap electronics.

        - -

        As an avid user of Home Assistant, I decided it would be the perfect application to manage the UI and notification system. Now all I needed was a way to monitor the washer and dryer. I tried using sound sensors but found them unreliable. I ended up opting for an accelerometer attached to the back of each appliance. I also added magnetic reed switches on the doors of the washer and dryer to detect if the doors are open or closed. I connected the accelerometers and reed switches to a Moteino, an arduino clone with an RF transceiver. The Moteino can perform the logic to figure out which state the appliances are in and wirelessly communicate that data with another Moteino that is connected via serial to my Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi reads the serial data and repeats it over MQTT for Home Assistant to use. This is great because I don’t have to run Home Assistant on the Raspberry Pi. I can run it on a faster machine and point the MQTT component to my Raspberry Pi.

        - -

        After taking some sample data from the accelerometers while each appliance was in operation, I decided to plot the data to help determine the proper thresholds of when the devices were running or off. I had to do this in order to get precise ranges so the dryer sensor wouldn’t get tripped by the washer or vice versa. In the plot below you can see the acceleration in the x direction for the accelerometer connected to the washing machine. It’s easy to see when the washing machine is in operation here. I used the same technique for the dryer’s accelerometer.

    It is well known that you are either a good programmer or a good designer. It’s rare you’ll meet someone that is both. That’s why it wasn’t surprising to anyone that the logo that I made was mediocre — at best. Luckily, Jeremy Geltman has come to the rescue and contributed a brand new logo for Home Assistant.

    - -

    The new logo follows Googles material design spec. It uses the blue color that Home Assistant uses in the interface and it comes in two versions: a high detailed version (for homescreen icon etc) and a simple version (for favicon etc).
