I'm intrigued by the idea that you might be able to wear the voice interface around the house instead of having to have multiple microphones. Especially so if the device has enough power to process the voice commands locally. This article got me thinking about it. https://www.pcmag.com/articles/hacker-revives-humane-ai-pin

Wyze outdoor plugs are very versatile and reliable devices, but unfortunately only support cloud control. I really wanted to get rid of the cloud dependence, so I did some research.

Someone previously managed to flash ESPHome to the device by soldering a USB TTL interface to the flashing pads on the device and documented it in this excellent blog post.

I really didn't feel like breaking out a soldering iron or opening the device, so I looked for a software-only solution. It turns out it is possible to flash custom firmware without any hardware hacks. I have documented the process in this blog post. Hopefully this helps someone who is as hardware-challenged as I am.

Greetings!

I'm currently using a Logitech Harmony HUB to turn on devices like my TV, Console, and PC using Infrared but have been wondering if there's a similar DIY Alternative to one which too can be trained using a devices original IR Remote for home integration? ( essentially what I want to do is IR Control my old Dyson AM06 which the Logitech Harmony HUB doesn't accept as a valid Device )

If you are an Apple user and would love to trigger Home Assistant automations based on focus mode changes, this post is for you. While in iOS 18 Apple made this fairly easy for most focus modes, "Sleep" was special for some reason. It was missing the focus mode "on" and "off" triggers that every other focus mode had.

For iOS 18, I have a fresh blog post that uses a simple third party utility to FULLY automate ANY focus mode change on your iPhone. I now have fully automated bedtime scenes that turn on when sleep focus mode is enabled, and a morning scene that is triggered when sleep focus mode is turned off.

In iOS 26 developer beta 1, Apple has removed the sleep focus mode limitations and now all focus modes have the same "on" and "off" triggers. This means no third party tool is needed on iOS 26 to trigger HA automations for ALL focus modes.

Check out my full how-to guide here for iOS 18 and iOS 26:

Looking for a clean way(focused on Zigbee) to migrate 53 devices from ZHA to Z2M. What is the correct process to follow here? PROCESS 1

  1. Remove every device from ZHA.,
  2. Delete the ZHA integration and reboot HAOS.,
  3. Install \ setup everything MQTT \ Z2M.,
  4. Starting with all mains powered devices closest to coordinator and branching out, physically reset them and pair them all into Z2M.,
  5. Reset\repair all battery devices into Z2M.,
  6. Fix\correct automations,

Do i really need to do step 1? Or will starting with step 2 automatically delete everything to do with ZHA\Zigbee devices\entities in a clean fashion? Also, im under the impression that "removing" a devices from ZHA isnt physically disjoining the device from the network. So it can instantly just come back into ZHA, negating my whole point of trying to get out of ZHA and everything cleanly\freshly paired to Z2M? PROCESS 2

  1. Install \ setup everything MQTT \ Z2M.,
  2. Starting with all mains powered devices closest to coordinator and branching out, physically reset them and re pair them all into Z2M.,
  3. Reset\repair all battery devices into Z2M.,
  4. Remove every device from ZHA.,
  5. Delete the ZHA integration and reboot HAOS.,
  6. Go into Z2M and rename all the devices to my original names as they were in ZHA originally.,
  7. Fix\correct automations

A map! That does things!

Hey everyone. Just wanted to share my first big success story with HA! I'd been wanting to make a floor map dashboard for ages and I finally dove in.

It's a super simple dashboard right now, for the most part it's just a few buttons over things I can control, but I wanted to keep it simple initially so that there was an end in sight. The highlight right now is how turning the lights on illuminates that part of the map. It was really satisfying seeing that work the first time.

Part of this project came from me wanting to get back in to 3D modelling/animation, which I used to do what feels like a lifetime ago. There was a nice mix of nostalgia and discovery making the map and integrating it in to HA.

There was a "top 20 things to do when getting started with HA" post I saw ages ago and one of the points that stood out to me was "share your first success with others". I think that's a great idea (hence this post) because it's easy to get lost in others accomplishments here and not appreciate your own success. This dashboard is hella basic compared to some of the stuff on here, but it's MY dashboard and I feel good about it.

Of course I'm already looking in to version 2. I've had my eyes on this style of dashboard for well over a year now and that's going to tax my programming-limited knowledge to its limits. There's also a lot of additional work I want to do to the map itself, not the least of which is a second pass at the very flat lighting. Looking forward to it though!

I feel like I have lost the plot on this idea so before I spend the money I would love a sanity check.

For texting with local control via: https://github.com/capcom6/android-sms-gateway

  1. It's a real cell phone on a real plan so 2FA accounts that block Twilio/ sms gateways will see it as "person".
  2. I can use the same app to forward 2FA messages to be shared (as sms)
  3. Its fixed cost
  4. It works when the internet is down. HA can text me via local API over wifi and out over cell sms gateways would be down.
  5. It means my house has its own accounts for things that require a phone number to use (WhatsApp/signal/telegram), rather than use an existing account.

Im still looking at ways to "Remote Desktop"(and there are plenty) into the phone itself for 2FA applications, allowing these to be shared as well.

Ultimately being able to answer calls on it would be grand as well but I am not likely to give the houses number out to any one I care about. I would assume everything coming in is just spam so why pick it up? (I conceded that this might change).

Is this a dumb idea? Am I missing something on the market I should be using? If I go this way are there other/features benefits I haven't thought of that might make it worth while?

https://github.com/ZeFish/hass_mood_controller

Hey, r/homeassistant!

Like many of you, I love Home Assistant for its power to connect everything. But I always felt something was missing—a kind of "rhythm" for my home's lighting. The problem was this: I’d set the perfect "Evening" mood across the house, then start a movie in the living room which triggers a special "Movie" scene. When the movie ends, I don't want the lights to go back to what they were before the film; I want them to sync up with the current home-wide mood, which might have transitioned to "Night" while I was watching.

Over time, I created this script that began as a proof of concept but after a year it became my own Home Assistant Mood Controller, a scripting system that brings stateful, hierarchical control to the lighting. It ensures my home's atmosphere is always in sync with our daily routine.

TLTR BEGIN

It’s like having metadata for your areas. Some sort of exif data that you find in jpg that contain information like camera and lens model. Only this time it is information about a room. Based on that information you can change the action of your switches and do pretty much all you ever desire in automation.

TLTR END

The Core Idea: Moods and Presets

The system is built on a simple two-tiered philosophy: Moods and Presets.

Moods are the high-level, home-wide scenes that define the general ambiance. They are the primary states of your home. My setup uses five moods based on the time of day:

  • Morning: Calm, easy light to start the day.
  • Day: Bright, functional lighting.
  • Evening: Warm, comfortable lighting.
  • Unwind: Softer lighting for relaxation.
  • Night: Very dim, gentle lighting.

Presets are variations of a Mood, used for temporary, room-level control without breaking the overall rhythm. I use those in my physical room switches. The standard presets are:

  • default: The main scene for the current mood.
  • bright: A brighter version of the current scene.
  • off: Turns the lights off in that specific area.

This means you can have the whole house in the Evening mood, but temporarily set the kitchen to the bright preset for cooking, all with a single, consistent system. I've also added a toggle feature so a single button on a physical switch can toggle between "bright" and "default". That mean I can always have a nice ambiance while being able to have working light anytime and since those are on switches, it is easy for people to use.

How It Works: The 4 Key Parts

The whole system is built on a few core components that work together:

  1. ⁠⁠⁠⁠State Helpers (input_text): The current mood and preset for the home and each individual area are stored in input_text helpers. This is the magic that makes the system "stateful"—any other automation can instantly know the exact state of any room.
  2. ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Controller (script.mood_set): This is the central script that does all the work. You call it with the area, mood, and preset you want. It's the only script you ever need to interact with directly.Here's how you'd call it to sync the living room back to the main house mood after a movie:
action:
      - service: script.mood_set
        data:
          target_areas: living_room
          mood: "{{ states('input_text.home_mood') }}"

  1. ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Automation (automation.home_mood_change): A simple automation that watches the main input_text.home_mood helper. When that helper changes (e.g., from Evening to Night), it calls script.mood_set to propagate that change to all the rooms in the house (that aren't locked).
  2. ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Mood Scripts (script.mood_{mood_name}): This is where you define what your lights actually do. For each mood (like Morning), you create a script that defines the scenes for each preset (default, bright, etc.). The controller script dynamically calls the correct mood script based on the variables you pass.

Some features that I needed over time

  • Area Locking: Have a room you don't want to be affected by house-wide changes (like a sleeping baby's room)? Just turn on an input_boolean.[area_id]_lock. The system will skip it, but you can still control the room's lights with local controls.
  • Performance Optimized: The script is smart. If you tell it to set 4 rooms to default and 1 room to off, it makes two optimized calls instead of five, which keeps things fast.
  • Event Hook: The controller fires a mood_setted event when it's done, so you can hook in other automations for even more advanced control.

Automation Ideas (My recent rabbit hole!)

Because the state of every room is always known, you can create some really intelligent automations

Movie Time Automation

This automation locks the living room when the projector turns on. When a movie starts playing, it sets a special "Movie" mood. If you pause for more than 30 seconds, it syncs the lights back to the current house mood, and when the movie is over, it unlocks the room and restores the home mood.

alias: Movie
triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id: - media_player.projector
    to: playing
    id: Playing
  - trigger: state
    entity_id: - media_player.projector
    to: idle
    id: Stop
    for: "00:00:30"
  - trigger: state
    entity_id: - binary_sensor.movie_mode
    to: "off"
    id: Projector Off
actions:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id: Playing
        sequence:
          - action: script.mood_set
            data:
              target_areas: - living_room
              mood: Movie
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id:
              - Stop
              - Projector Off
        sequence:
          - action: script.mood_set
            data:
              target_areas: - living_room
              mood: "{{ states('input_text.home_mood') }}"

Motion-Based Night Light

This only triggers if the kitchen is already in the Night mood. If motion is detected, it switches to a special motion preset (a dim light). When motion stops for 2 minutes, it sets the preset back to default (the standard Night scene).

alias: Kitchen - Night - Motion
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.kitchen_motion_occupancy
    to: "on"
    id: "Detected"
  - platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.kitchen_motion_occupancy
    to: "off"
    for: "00:02:00"
    id: "Cleared"
condition:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: input_text.kitchen_mood
    state: "Night"
action:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id: "Detected"
        sequence:
          - service: script.mood_set
            data:
              target_areas: - kitchen
              preset: motion
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id: "Cleared"
        sequence:
          - service: script.mood_set
            data:
              target_areas: - kitchen
              preset: default

On a practial level...

I have one automation for each mood that know the rhythm that I like.

Morning : Is set after 6:30 when tree principal room had motion for more than 45 seconds. At that time, the house get into Morning mood and all the rooms follow. It only apply in the morning when the current home mood is Night.

Day : This one is actually only set when the outdoor luminance is above 4200 and the current home mood is either Morning or Evening

Evening : This one get set when outdoors illuminance gets above 1000 in the afternoon or at 4:30pm and only when the current home mood is Morning or Day

Unwind : This one goes on at 6:30pm, it let my kids know if time for night routine

Night : at 10:30pm the home goes into night mood

Other things I like to do with that stateful lighting system

  • My speaker volume follows the mood
  • I get many motion automation based on the current mood of the room
  • When any room is in preset bright without motion for more than 15 minutes, it goes back to preset default
  • When the rooms are in the preset off, i make sure there is no motion automation that can turn the light back on
  • If a room is currently in morning|bright and the house mood change to evening, the room will follow the house mood but will keep it's preset so will go to evening|bright
  • Remove all the notification when the house is in mood Night

I've put together a github with the full code, setup instructions, and more automation examples. https://github.com/ZeFish/hass_mood_controller

I'd love to hear what you think! Has anyone else built a similar system?

Raw input of humidity sensors

Above you can see my humidity sensors at home, but I always found it difficult to extract usful event from such noisy data, because the outside humidity affects it so much. Because I have some knowledge in data analysis, I have experimented a bit and found something very useful, I would like to share for the community.

Humidity average of all sensors

At first I created a helper to calculate the average humidity from all sensors. Then I made another Template-helper that took the difference (humiditiy - average humidity):

{{(states('sensor.sensor_bathroom_humidity')|float)- (states('sensor.appartment_humidity_average')|float)}}

How I made my Template-Helper

This resulted in every room having relative humidity sensors:

Humidity sensors with substracted humidity average

This way I can now easily see spikes in humidity in the kitchen (blue) and the bathroom (yellow). This worked so well, I can detect water boiling for a tea from 2 meters away from my sensor location.

This is not strictly Home Assistant related, but I love how well they explain remote switches, and that they outline the benefits, like more flexibility and less resource usage / waste.
