[Claude Code] Session Checkpoint¶

Justin asked for a summary of all taken IP addresses on his network
Compiled list from fleet.md + network-dashboard.md: 9 static IPs in use (.33, .50, .67, .70, .73, .74, .75, .81, .82, .87)
Flagged Sol IP discrepancy between fleet.md (.33) and memory (.87), needs clarification
Next: resolve Sol's actual static IP, potentially reclaim .81 (decommissioned biz-apps)

Justin set up Reolink Elite Pro Floodlight PoE camera (192.168.86.76, dual-lens 180° panoramic, 7680x2160 main / 1536x432 sub)
Created Frigate NVR in dedicated LXC CT 108 (192.168.86.84, 4GB RAM, 4 cores, Debian 13) with Docker
Recording to /mnt/workspace/security-cameras (7.3TB workspace drive), 14-day motion retention, 30-day event clips
Also set up Samba share on media-server + vsftpd (decided FTP not needed, Frigate handles recording)
Next: add Frigate integration to Home Assistant, set up SSH alias for frigate LXC, add 2 more cameras when they arrive

Added Frigate integration to HA, enabled detection (person/car/dog/cat), fixed dual-lens aspect ratio (1536x432)
Decided on final architecture: Reolink app + HA integration for daily use (live view, scrubbing, AI, floodlight), Frigate as silent 2-week archive
SD card (256GB) in camera unlocks HA Media Browser playback, the primary scrubbing experience
Added SSH alias ssh frigate → 192.168.86.84 (CT 108)
Next: insert SD cards in cameras, add 2 more cameras to Frigate + HA when they arrive
[Claude Code] 16:27, created: /home/justinwieb/.claude/projects/-home-justinwieb-forge/memory/reference_ha_api.md

Built custom HA dashboard "Home" with 5 tabs: All, Home, Areas, Lights, Energy (sections layout)
Overview: thermostat + weekly forecast. Cameras: driveway + doorbell. Active Now: auto-filtered + Work/Gaming buttons
Cleaned sidebar: deleted old Buttons + Climate dashboards, set Home as default
Saved new HA API token to memory for future sessions
Next: tweak dashboard further, add 2 more cameras when they arrive

Refined HA dashboard: moved energy to 5th tab, Work/Gaming buttons into Active Now, excluded noisy entities
Troubleshooting Govee light bars (MQTT), commands send but device doesn't respond, restarted Govee2MQTT add-on
Next: verify light bars reconnect after Govee2MQTT restart, continue dashboard tweaks

Switched weather from Met.no to NWS (KAUS/Austin), 20-min auto-refresh automation
Govee light bars unresponsive via MQTT, restarted Govee2MQTT add-on, power cycled device, still not working. Likely needs re-pair in Govee app
Reorganized dashboard: energy to 5th tab, Work/Gaming buttons into Active Now section
Next: fix Govee light bars pairing, continue dashboard refinements

Asked: Help editing HA dashboard, weather card on Home tab needs highs/lows, location-specific to 4606 Franklin Park Dr, 5-day forecast
Done: Switched weather entity from weather.kaus (NWS airport) to weather.forecast_home (met.no, exact address match), daily forecast with highs/lows on both All + Home tabs
Next: Further HA dashboard customization if needed

Asked: HA dashboard tweaks, weather card accuracy (switched to NWS), layout fixes (Areas/Energy column_span 4), new Buttons section from Active Now scenes, energy card spacing
Done: Weather uses weather.kaus twice_daily, Areas + Energy full-width, Buttons section after Active Now, energy cards grid_columns: 2
Next: Further dashboard polish or other HA work

Asked: Install HACS cards (Mushroom, Mini Graph, card-mod, Bubble Card), delete extra tabs, create fancy duplicate of All tab
Done: 4 HACS cards installed, deleted Home/Areas/Lights/Energy tabs, built "Fancy" tab with mushroom chips/lights/media/climate cards, mini-graph energy overlay, colored automations
Next: Tweak Fancy tab styling, possibly use Bubble Card for bottom nav or pop-ups

Asked: Restore Active Now with mushroom light cards (sliders + color), add Media section after, keep original entity list
Done: Built conditional mushroom cards per entity (lights=slider+color, switches=amber toggle), Media section with mushroom media player cards, entity-filter approach didn't work so switched to conditional cards
Next: Verify dashboard rendering, further tweaks

Asked: Change Lights & Switches tab to just Lights organized by room, delete All Devices tab, fix Areas clicking to show controls not config pages
Done: Lights tab with mushroom light cards by room (sliders+color), deleted All Devices tab+button, Areas now navigate to Lights tab. 3 tabs: All, Dashboard, Lights
Next: Assign unassigned lights to rooms, further dashboard polish

Asked: Curate Active Now, remove island 1/2, island switch, recessed 2/3, WIZ bulbs; keep island_lights. Delete All tab, star-four-points icon on Dashboard. Per-area subviews with mushroom controls.
Done: All changes applied. Dashboard has area subviews (13 rooms), Lights tab by room, curated Active Now list.
Next: Further Active Now curation or dashboard polish

Asked: Script to set Google TV volume to max (10/10), auto-run on TV wake/boot
Done: Created script.google_tv_volume_max (15x volume_up on living_room_tv_2 Cast entity, since Android TV doesn't support volume_set). Created automation google_tv_volume_on_boot triggering on off/standby/idle → on/playing for both Google TV + Samsung TV.
Next: Further HA dashboard or automation work

Asked: Turn GTV volume down to 12 (not a script change), revert script to original 15 max
Done: Reverted script, sent 3x volume_down to bring it to 12/15 live
Next: Further HA work
