Upgrading breaks the Govee 2025.1.1 integration. At least for me.

I was looking for a card that would auto-switch to the most recently playing entity so i could aggregate my players in a single card. It kind of spiraled from there and I have been actively adding tweaks and features to it (like being able to add custom action buttons for any home assistant service AND target the currently selected entity).

This is my first real submission to the community and would love for everyone to try it out.

It's in the official HACS repo so you can just search for yet another media player. Hope someone finds it useful!

My wife and I are Star Trek fans, and I know that Majel Barret Roddenberry (Nurse Chappel, Lwaxana Troi, wife of Gene Roddenberry) recorded material necessary to allow Star Trek and others to continue to use her voice for the franchise and other applications.

Has anyone found a good TTS source that has her voice and, hopefully, some of the specific diction she used on Star Trek as the computer voice? It's a bit more precise/stacatto than her natural voice.

In researching this I found a neat piece of trivia on this site: https://movieweb.com/rod-roddenberry-majel-barrett-roddenberry-computer-voice/

Google and Apple were working on a voice-controlled personal assistant that would be based on Barrett-Roddenberry's voice. In a recent Geek Girl Authority interview, [Rod] Roddenberry said,

I’m using the default sections dashboard in Home Assistant, with several sections stacked horizontally. After updating to 2025.6.0, all of them disappeared, only the top header section is left.

The first time it happened, I had just taken the tablet dashboard off the wall and updated right after, so I thought I might’ve accidentally deleted the views while working. I restored from backup and everything came back.

But then I updated HA again next day, and the same thing happened every section except the header is gone.

Is anyone else seeing this after the 2025.6.0 update?

Any idea what could be causing this? Something new in 2025.6.0 maybe?

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:

Home Assistant: Trigger on ANY iOS 18 + iOS 26 Focus Mode

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?
