More replacement fuses can be found in your replacement parts kit.
Replace the active fuse with the spare fuse.
There will be two fuses, one active in a metal casing and one spare. Locate the male end of the plug and open the slider. If this doesn’t work, there could be an issue with the fuse. Replace the master bulb with a master bulb from your replacement parts kit. Locate the master bulb by following the strand until you find a bulb in a larger plastic casing. If the bulbs are all intact, the problem may lie with the master bulb. If there’s a loose bulb, re-seat it into the socket by gently nudging it back into place. Replace with another bulb from your replacement parts kit. If you find one, use the bulb remover tool to remove and dispose of the broken bulb. Look for any broken, loose, or missing bulbs on the strand. Make sure it’s not pinched between branches or stuck in a hinge. Check that the strand is connected on both ends, to the pole and to the connecting strand. If you want to take this one step further and keep an eye on things, you should add a couple of cards to your Home Assistant dashboard. So long as Home Assistant stays online, your lights will now react to the sun and pay attention to what time it is. Relish in your newfound freedom from ever having to put on boots and a coat just to trudge outside in the snow just to unplug a few extension cords. Tap “Restart” and wait for Home Assistant to come back online.Ĭongratulations! You have successfully configured Home Assistant to automate the behavior of your Christmas lights. Navigate to Configuration → Server Controls. To make configuration file changes take effect, restart Home Assistant. If you had to make any changes, save the file using the orangish-red “Save” icon in the top right corner. The “state:” value should match your desired outcome – For example, if one entity has “state: off”, but you want it to be “on” in this scene, edit the value to correct. Under each entity, you should see the “friendly name:” and “state:” objects. If any are missing, add them here by copying one of the existing sections. 
Each scene should name the “entities” that you want to control.After following this tutorial, you should have two scenes, configured in JSON format.Navigate to /config and then tap “ scenes.yaml“.Tap the small folder icon in the top left corner of the File Editor window.In the Home Assistant sidebar, tap “File Editor”.Follow these instructions to get it set up – it will only take a minute. You will need the “File Editor” add-on in order to proceed. Mine is named “Outdoor String Lights Off”. Repeat this process to add a second scene where all of the entities are turned off. Once all devices have been updated, save the scene using the orange “Save” button in the bottom right.Close the dialog box once the device is turned on.In the Devices section, set the desired state of each device when this scene is activated.Start typing “switch” and select the plugs you want to turn on.Since I am using the TP-Link Kasa Outdoor Plugs with two outlets (or entities) per device, I found it better to use the “Entities” selector.Tap “Add Scene” (Orange button on the bottom right of the screen).In the Home Assistant sidebar, navigate to Configuration → Scenes.This is great for when you want to set up devices from a variety of generally incompatible sources (think, LIFX and Philips Hue) to act together as one.įor this project, we are going to create two scenes: Christmas Lights On and Christmas Lights Off. Scenes are a powerful tool that enables you to preconfigure the state of any device connected to Home Assistant. Now, do what you do! I set up lights on my front trees, the front roof line and the back roof line. Navigate to Configuration → Entities and tap on the entity you want to edit. If you don’t like the Entity Name or Entity ID set up by Home Assistant, you can easily change it.
