Hmm that would be easier. I'll look into this! Thanks.

Thanks Pete! Looks like I hadn't named any of the entities in the first place and they had defaulted to the names read by mqtt. All fixed!

I would just like to remove the prefix from the display so it's a little more intuitive when reading the devices (for the user). Is there a way to strip the prefix from being displayed? thanks CB

during one of the recent updates to HA (or due to an extended downtime during a power cut) my system has now prepended the word omnilink in front of all devices and sensors brought over with OmnilinkBridge. Has anyone seen this behaviour before and know how to remove the word? The only reference...

Interesting history! Nice to see they're still going. Had a look at them online this morning - yup, ugly. Like you've done I may just hide them in a few closets as the reduction in signal will be minimal. The price though.......wow.

I’ll have to read about the waps. I’m in the market to replace my current setup (Ubiquiti) as it’s just not covering the house appropriately.

Appreciate the help Pete. Took this old brain of mine a while to plug back into the setup. I would like to understand the structure more, however. The plugin (OmniLink) talks to my MQTT server (broker). But an MQTT client is also needed to view the MQTT server (broker). So MQTT client provides...

major progress. got all the entities up and running. MQTT helps. thx

I must be missing something. I did a fresh HASS install, installed OmniLink Bridge and didn't bother bringing over any of my backup files. Configured OmniLink Bridge and it connects to the MQTT server fine and logfiles show it's seeing everything. However no entities show up. confused! wish I...

So I went through that process this morning. I also uninstalled and reinstalled OmniLink Bridge and did it's configuration from scratch. Still no entities showing up. It's like it is not bringing them into the database. The hidden entities are just various iphone and Pi entities - no OmniLink...

Hey Pete. I still have all my cards from my snapshot from before but all Entities are listed as unavailable (see screencap). Further, none of the entities are showing up under Settings > Devices and Services > Entities. I'm not sure why they're not being brought into the database. I can see...

sigh, I have to get my head around this again. Unfortunately I had a a system crash and lost the ssd connected to my HASS install on a Pi4. I do have snapshots but they will not restore for some reason. I have done a clean install of the latest version of home assistant and managed to restore...

Is Haiku running on your 6S?

FYI, after years of not having haiku and migrating everything over to a Home Assistant front end and running Omnibridge as the handler, I managed to get haiku installed and running under iOS 16.01 on my new iPhone. Nice to have it back.

With the recent loss of Haiku I'm leaning more on HA for my daily house control. I've noticed there is no control of Humidity under the thermostat card. I'm using Omnistat Rc2000s in the house, which previously under Haiku I could control the Humidity. I see the Entity is read through MQTT as I...
