用Cloudflare Tunnel的內網穿透來連接Home Assistant的Google助理 / Using Cloudflare Tunnel for Internal Network Penetration to Connect Home Assistant to Google Assistant

如果要讓Google助理操作Home Assistant所連結的設備，那麼必須要有能夠連上Home Assistant的公開HTTPS網址才行。由於原本我用的Telebit發生問題，所以我花了一些時間找尋替代方案。這篇就做個記錄吧。

To allow Google Assistant to control devices connected to Home Assistant, a public HTTPS address that can connect to Home Assistant is required. Since my original Telebit had issues, I spent some time looking for alternatives. This is just a record of that.

如何在Home Assistant的localTuya設定裝置的實體？ / How to Set Up Device Entities in LocalTuya on Home Assistant?

要在Home Assistant裡面使用localTuya，我們除了要取得裝置的local key之外，還需要自行設定裝置的實體在Home Assistant的控制方式。以下我們就用威技除溼機WDH-11FS為例子，來看看怎麽將UVC模式設定到Home Assistant上。

Home Assistant自動化的限制：無法偵測長時間狀態 / Limitations of Home Assistant Automation: Inability to Detect Long-Duration States

我本來想在Home Assistant設定自動化「如果實體的狀態維持[關閉]超過24小時，就把它設為[開啟]」，結果HA卻一直沒能觸發自動化。最後我把條件改成時間模式定期檢查、觸發，然後把條件設定在「且如果」裡面，這樣自動化才能夠正常運作。

I was trying to set up an automation in Home Assistant that would turn an entity [on] if its state remained [off] for more than 24 hours. However, the automation never triggered. I eventually got it working by changing it to a time-based automation that checks periodically and then using an condition to check the entity's state.
