For me it is the automation of our robot vacuum for door openings. Three minutes after the main door closes our robot vacuum goes there to vacuum and mop the area. This generated an awful high number of cleaning events so I have placed a cancel button. If it gets pressed within 3 minutes, the cleaning gets cancelled.

My wife hates it regardless of that this "mop immediately after someone steps in the house with shoes" is her tick and I made the automation to resolve it.

Just saw this pop up on YouTube. It looks great, but really expensive. I was really thinking I was finally going to grab some of the new Aqara FP300s whenever they come back in stock but now I’m undecided.

For those of you with EPs, what has your experience been like?

My local Ikea hasn't received any yet, but I found this article (https://matter-smarthome.de/en/products/how-ikea-masters-the-combination-of-thread-and-zigbee/) that states not only does the new Bilresa remote have the necessary hardware for Zigbee (in addition to Matter), it's backward compatible with Ikea's previous generation of Zigbee devices. However, it specifically mentions Zigbee’s Touchlink function which I'm not familiar with.

I don't see the new devices listed in ZigbeeMQTT (https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/#v=IKEA&s=Bilresa). Can anyone confirm this behaviour or clarify my understanding? Would this be compatible with my existing Zigbee network in Home Assistant?

I didn't want to expose an MQTT server to be publicly accessible to the internet for security risk reasons. But NLE has an API, so I created a repo for HACS that integrates the No Longer Evil thermostats with Home Assistant using the native NLE API. I've tested it on my home and it is working wonderfully.

Hi guys, I recently got into HA and want to add some Reolink POE cameras and connect them to my routers (via lan). I luckily still have some lan cables in some places in the house so I can add 2-3 cameras at critical places. I saw adding the cameras to HA and 2MQTT is quite easy, but what is concerning to me is that the cameras can call back to China when they are connected to the internet which I really don't want. I already googled but I am not sure if there is a quick and easy way to block them from having internet access? I have a pretty cheap router that came with my internet provider and I can't edit any ports for specific devices/ips in the router, otherwise I thought maybe just blocking in in the router would be a relatively easy way. Is there another way to maybe block them? Would appreciate some help! Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I'm excited to share a collection of Voice Assistant (VA) Blueprints I've been working on.

I built these based on my own frustrations and daily needs. I wanted my VA to stop being just a fancy speaker and start being a real personal/family assistant. I figured if they solved problems for me, they'll likely solve problems for many of you too!

A huge plus: These work great with both local and cloud LLMs.

I poured the most time into two specific blueprints, and I genuinely think they'll be game changers for your setup:

• Voice Assist - Smart Scheduling & Timers
• Voice Assist - Memory & Information Retrieval

Seriously, the Memory blueprint has been a massive quality-of-life upgrade for my smart home.

I hope you guys check them out and find them useful for your smart homes. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

So I've created a browser mod pop up with the map of the bus location and a voice notification 5 minutes before the kids' bus arrives in the morning and in the afternoon.

I love HAOS so much.

Edit: if your school doesn't use the app, maybe it's something your district can look into. It's such a useful tool for parents.

All Zigbee versions of the smart-home devices are now on clearance.

I bought a license for Fully Kiosk a few years ago. I updated to a newer tablet and figured I'd be buying a new license (I figured what are the chances of not wasting a bunch of time try to change it over). Well, after entering my old id number and my new id number as well as my email, the deed was done and I'm up and running. Well done Fully Kiosk. I recommend this app totally.

Thought I'd give Home Assistant an evaluation and it looks promising, however I've got Wyze Cams in my environment (V2s and V3s) and I've had absolutely no luck getting them to integrate.

I've done the dev API thing and added the Docker Wyze Bridge. There are moments in the bridge where all cams are streaming just fine but I can't seem to add them to HA using the generic camera integration. The generic camera doesn't seem to like the URL feeds (any of them) that the Wyze Bridge creates. Yet I can view any of the cams via the Wyze Bridge URL in a standard browser.

Often, even the Wyze Bridge loses connectivity and spins endlessly trying to refresh. Sometimes reconnects after 5 mins of spinning... sometimes not.

It's all garbage at this point so unless I replace my cams and get away from Wyze, Home Assistant is useless to me.

I created an ESPHome component to allow the capture of Private BLE IRK addresses. This can be used for tracking mobile devices for presence detection. Previously, I would have to install ESPresence onto an ESP32, configure it to connect to MQTT and then run. This simplifies the capturing since I do not use ESPresence for any other reason.

In theory you only need the packages and substitutions lines added to any compatible esp32 esphome project.

I have only tested on iPhone, so I am not 100% sure it will work on android.

I use Bermuda to track which room the device is located in.

packages:
  irk_capture: github://KyleTeal/irk-capture/irk-capture-package.yaml@main

substitutions:
  board_type: esp32dev
  ble_name: "JBL Tune"
  start_on_boot: false

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password
  ap:
    ssid: "IRK-Capture-AP"
    password: !secret ap_pass

api:
  encryption:
    key: !secret encrypt_key

ota:
  - platform: esphome
    password: !secret ota_pass

Hey everyone! I want to use NFC tags more creatively and am looking for ideas. What cool projects, automations or hacks do you implement with NFC tags?

My parents gave me their old Reolink indoor camera since they don't need it anymore. Now it's just sitting here and I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm not really into filming myself or my family all the time, but seems wasteful to just let it collect dust. We have a house with garage and garden, already running Home Assistant. I've seen people use them to monitor utility meters with OCR but our electricity and gas meters are already smart, so that's out. What do you guys actually use indoor cams for?

Just looking for some ideas that make sense with HA integration.
