## Setup and Configuration
### Schlage Door Lock
1. Install Z-wave
2. Install z-wave JS module
3. Add device -> How do you want to add your device -> Legacy Secure
4. Disconnect and Reconnect the battery on the lock
5. Press and hold the zwave button until the light turns solid red, release and it should flash red
1. (OR) Enter programming pin on lock -> 0 (this may take a few attempts, don't click the pair button)
If the lock ever disconnects you can safely delete it from home assistant and re-interview. It will
set back up with the correct entity IDs and automations/dashboards will work just fine.
### Philips Hue Lights
1. I configure all philips hue lights through zigbee directly connected to HA
hue lights support color_temp in mireds, here are some mired-kelvin conversions:
| Kelvin | Mired |
| ------ | ----- |
| 6000 | 167 |
| 4000 | 250 |
| 2600 | 385 |
### Shelly
1. Outbound Websocket `wss://homeassistant.reeseapps.com/api/shelly/ws`
Shelly devices can act as "passive" or "active" bluetooth scanners. Both of these configurations
allow home assistant to proxy bluetooth connections through shelly devices, significantly extending
the range of your home assistant's bluetooth capabilities. Active scanning uses more power but
is quicker to pick up and transmit device information. Note that "gateway mode" is not required,
just enable bluetooth and rpc or select "active" from the configuration menu for the shelly
device.
#### Barometer
<https://www.thoughtco.com/how-to-read-a-barometer-3444043>
A barometric reading over 30.20 inHg is generally considered high, and high pressure is associated with clear skies and calm weather.
If the reading is over 30.20 inHg (102268.9 Pa or 1022.689 mb):
- Rising or steady pressure means continued fair weather.
- Slowly falling pressure means fair weather.
- Rapidly falling pressure means cloudy and warmer conditions.
A barometric reading in the range of 29.80 and 30.20 inHg can be considered normal, and normal pressure is associated with steady weather.
If the reading falls between 29.80 and 30.20 inHg (100914.4–102268.9 Pa or 1022.689–1009.144 mb):
- Rising or steady pressure means present conditions will continue.
- Slowly falling pressure means little change in the weather.
- Rapidly falling pressure means that rain is likely, or snow if it is cold enough.
A barometric reading below 29.80 inHg is generally considered low, and low pressure is associated with warm air and rainstorms.
If the reading is under 29.80 inHg (100914.4 Pa or 1009.144 mb):
- Rising or steady pressure indicates clearing and cooler weather.
- Slowly falling pressure indicates rain.
- Rapidly falling pressure indicates a storm is coming.
A basic automation would look like
```yaml
It's {{ int(states("sensor.grouse_temp")) }} degrees and {{ states("weather.grouse_weather") }}. The relative humidity is {{ states("sensor.grouse_humidity") }}%. I'm seeing {{ int(states("sensor.grouse_wind_speed")) }}mph wind with gusts up to {{ int(states("sensor.grouse_wind_gust")) }}mph.
{% set pressure = float(states("sensor.grouse_rel_pressure")) %}
The barometer reads {{ pressure }}inHg.
{% if pressure > 30.20 %}
Fair weather is expected
{% elif pressure > 29.80 %}
Rain is possible
{% else %}
Rain is coming.
{% endif %}
```
#### Relative Humidity Calculator
<https://www.wikihow.com/Calculate-Humidity>
You can calculate the relative humidity of the outdoor air if warmed to indoor temperatures like so:
```jinja
{% set dew_point = state_attr("weather.forecast_home", "dew_point") %}
{% set air_temp_f = state_attr("climate.ecobee_thermostat", "current_temperature") %}
{% set air_temp = (5/9)*(air_temp_f-32) %}
{% set sat_vap_press = 6.11 * 10**((7.5*air_temp) / (237.3+air_temp)) %}
{% set act_vap_press = 6.11 * 10**((7.5*dew_point) / (237.3+dew_point)) %}
{% set rel_hum = 100*(act_vap_press / sat_vap_press) %}
{{ dew_point }}
{{ air_temp }}
{{ sat_vap_press }}
{{ act_vap_press }}
{{ rel_hum }}
```
### Font Colors
```html
<font color = {{ "green" if state_attr("climate.ecobee_thermostat", "current_humidity") > low_humidity and state_attr("climate.ecobee_thermostat", "current_humidity") < high_humidity else "red" }}>
HVAC Humidity: {{ state_attr("climate.ecobee_thermostat", "current_humidity") }}%
</font>
```

### Flair Vent Battery
Flair vents report low battery at 2.4v. 3v is nominal/full.
```yaml
{% set volt_min=2.4 %}
{% set volt_max=3.0 %}
{% set volt_diff_max=0.6 %}
{{ (min(float(states("sensor.main_bedroom_29bf_voltage")) - volt_min, volt_diff_max) / volt_diff_max) * 100 }}
