Manually Change Home Assistant IP Address

Here is how;

Enter “Login” on HA console and press Enter.

nmcli connection show to list your connections

nmcli con show "Your Connection Name" to list the current properties of that connection

nmcli con edit "Your Connection Name" to enter edit mode for that connection

nmcli> print ipv4 will show you the ipv4 properties of that connection

To add your static IP address (select ‘yes’ for manual method);

Copy to clipboard

nmcli> set ipv4.addresses 192.168.1.10/24
Do you also want to set 'ipv4.method' to 'manual'? [yes]:

If you like, you can also edit set the dns server and local gateway while you’re here. This is important to do if you are making use of the Adguard add-on:

Copy to clipboard

nmcli> set ipv4.dns 1.1.1.1
nmcli> set ipv4.gateway 192.168.1.1
nmcli> save
nmcli> quit

Finally, you should follow this with a full reboot using

hassio ho reboot

ALTERNATIVE #1

Use this command on ha prompt;

network update enp6s18 --ipv4-method static --ipv6-method disabled --ipv4-gateway "172.16.10.1" --ipv4-address "172.16.10.10/24"

network vlan enp6s18 10 --ipv4-method static --ipv6-method disabled --ipv4-gateway "172.16.10.1" --ipv4-address "172.16.10.10/24" 

ALTERNATIVE #2

Open up the HassOS console, it won’t work thru the sandboxed ssh container.
Log in as “root”
At the ha> prompt type “login” to get to the REAL hassos
At the # prompt, cd to /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections

Then, using vi or nano editor (it only has the most basic editor it seems) you can modify the config files. I put the “original” in a folder called “hold” in case I messed up.

How MATTER (Smart home standard) works?

All Matter-certified devices in your local area network (LAN) will work smoothly even when your home internet goes offline. Matter allows effective communication directly between devices, without the need for a specific ‘forwarding’ device. For example, a Matter smart switch or sensor can turn on/off a Matter bulb directly without being connected to a cloud service, or other specific action. Once configured, communication and control between Matter devices can be achieved directly on the local network.

What is ESPHome?

ESPHome is a platform developed for ESP32/ESP8266 and is mainly used for Smart Home devices. ESPHome has tons of ready made configurations, libraries and examples. In 2021 Nabu Casa (Home Assistant developer company) acquired ESPHome and integrated the whole ESPHome system more deep into the Home Assistant Core. These days ESPHome can be installed directly from Home Assistant Add-On store and configured from Home Assistant UI!

Bluetooth Proxy is a gateway software that listens for ‘all’ Bluetooth traffic and forwards them to the Home Assistant instance. Basically BLE to WiFi gateway.

Color Temperature & Brightness Level of Philips Hue Scenes

Assuming we’re talking about the gen 3 A19 white and color ambiance bulb:

SceneColor temp (K)Brightness (lumens)
Relax2237~200*
Read2890~570
Concentrate4291~800
Energize6410~550

*The Relax scene is 56% brightness. Lumens calculated by multiplying brightness at 2000K (342 lm) by 0.56.

And then for the gen 3 A19 white only bulb:

SceneColor temp (K)Brightness (lumens)
Bright2700840
Dimmed2700~252**
Nightlight2700~84***

**Dimmed is 30% brightness. Lumens calculated by this formula: 840 x 0.30

***Nightlight is 1% brightness, but there is no difference in brightness below 10%. Lumens calculated by this formula: 840 x 0.10
