details steps in comments below

1. Install UTM, setup a new VM to be host network and using home assistant vdo iso file

[TawfikDaim]

2. login to homeassistant e.g. http://192.168.1.99:8123/ and assign a static IP address from Network setting in home assistant Activity

[TawfikDaim]

3. Ngnx and duckdns https://youtu.be/bADNTSF4Fh4

   port forwarding
   First router will only allow port 443 to the IP of second router (192.168.1.11)

  Second router will allow both 433 and 8123 (since this router is already local) to the IP of VM of homeassistant 10.195.1.98
  
  tested when from outside and inside
  
  http:
  use_x_forwarded_for: true
  trusted_proxies:
  - 172.30.33.0/24
  ip_ban_enabled: true
  login_attempts_threshold: 5
  IP ban is not working as it automatically blocks local IPs ??

4. enable advanced I then enabled advanced mode from profile in home assistant

[TawfikDaim]

install VSC, Samba share, SSH and HACS

Hacs only worked for me when I used
wget -O - http://get.hacs.xyz | bash -
instead of
wget -O - https://get.hacs.xyz | bash -
after getting timeout error

https://www.wundertech.net/how-to-install-hacs-on-home-assistant/

install Sonoff (Alex integration with Sonoff devices using EWLINK)
(Without using HACS)

1. manually copy sonoff folder from latest release to custom_components folder in your config folder.
2. restart home assistant and clear cache
3. add integration - > search for Sonoff - login using EWlink credentials
4. Warning; login from one account will logout teh other account so I can't have 2 home assistant using same EWink account at the same time.
   Configuration > Integrations > Add Integration > Sonoff

If the integration is not in the list, you need to clear the browser cache.

You can setup multiple integrations with different ewelink accounts.

Important. If you use the same account in different smart home systems, you will be constantly unlogged from everywhere. In this case, you need to create a second ewelink account and share your devices or home with it.

5.Preventing DB size growth
Pow devices may send a lot of data every second. You can reduce the amount of processed data.

    For multi-channel devices use power_1, current_2, etc.
    sonoff:
      devices:
        10006f807c:
          reporting:
            power: [30, 3600, 1]  # min seconds, max seconds, min delta value
            current: [5, 3600, 0.1]
            voltage: [60, 3600, 5]

FLO integration

Water Shutoff devioce frpm Flo by Moen

Just add integration and sign in using FLO credentials (you need to buy the device and set it up using APK on an android device as its not supporting IOS)

[TawfikDaim]

Copy any dahsboard to the new instance
It’s a bit more work than a simple button click, but you can copy/paste an entire dashboard using the Edit Dashboard > Raw Configuration editor in the menu.

Issues: åå

1. if theme was not available it will not work and needs to be edited to add an available theme in new home assistant
2. some sonoff devices will come as Switch or Light and if it was used as the different type it must be corrected to work probeperly (good news is that only the identifier switch or light needs to change but the rest of the id remains the same)

Presence and location detection
Use iCloud integration for iPhone
assign the person to the device_tracker entity of the iCloud integration

[TawfikDaim]

Ongoing

Use person presence in house as a condition for running automations,
e.g scenarios

1. When no one is at home trigger an alarm if any motion sensor inside house detected motion (inside rooms, office)
2. When no one is at home trigger an alarm if camera sensor inside office detected motion
3. Greeting when someone has arrived -> send message to Alexa

[TawfikDaim]

Next _ Alexa integration

Alexa, who is home ?
Alexa, add item to shopping list

[TawfikDaim]

Automation for detecting movement when a person is away, this can be extended to be a mechanzim to lock home (close all lights excpet Fridge/automation/wifi), close all heating. close water valve at 11PM nightly while no one is at home),
also can be used the other way around to open heating in winter when there is anyone home.
