Hi everyone. This is T800model101's wife. He left his browser open. Could you please please please stop giving him ideas about Homeassistant. He keeps talking about docker pants and having ESP and something about making the toaster react to his presence. I just need my husband back. Thank you!

I'm looking for something relatively simple and robust. Just need things like rain detection/amount, wind speed, temperature, humidity.

I saw this post https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/1ix75iv/any_home_assistant_users_here_i_found_some_cool/ and just wanted to chime in. I’ve got a mini PC at home too, an Acemagic with the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX. Got it for $599 mainly because I wanted something with a bit more future-proofing so I could experiment with other stuff later. Right now I’m messing around with AI-based control, but sometimes it gets totally confused about what device it’s supposed to operate like if my kid says one thing and I say another, the poor AI looks like it’s about to blow a fuse, lol. Honestly, sometimes it’s just easier to grab the remote and do things manually. I’m sure there are ways to tweak it and get better results, but I still don’t think it’s 100% there yet.

I am wondering which zigbee smoke detectors work best with homeassistant. I read about many devices but all I foind have issues with battery life time. With which ones have you good experiences with?

For me, Alexa notifications in a few rooms of the house when the printer runs out of paper or is jammed.

Just printing a batch of stuff I need to take with me this evening and then going about getting ready when Alexa announces we're out of paper, so was able to fix.

This was exactly the same problem last time only I returned to half complete print job and not enough time to finish.

Thanks homeassistant!

Hi, I was wondering if any of you have a function/Automation/ Step by step Instruction for your Wife or Husband in case you die.

For me, I have our Vehicle Charge System and Internet Add Blocker running on a Raspberry with Home Assistant but my wife has no clue about it. She has no interest.

If I would die today, I guess the system would run for 1 or 2 Month without any problem but after an Update on any part would set the system on error.

The Internet would not work and she could not charge the car.

Do you have a backup plan?

I know a lot of people have struggled with the voice PE's so I thought I'd share my experience now that they're working a lot better for me:

  • Usefulness: I've been adding functions slowly, but most of these work just fine:
    • Weather: Using a blueprint, it works great but is a little wordy
    • Calendar: Works ok, still working on anything past "What's my schedule today"
    • Tasks: Also works fine, but you have to specify the name of the list you are referring to each time.
    • Home control: Usually bypasses the LLM, so it's really fast.
    • General knowledge and recognition accuracy: Also works (passed my "What is fukujinzuke?" test). I speak English without a significant accent.
    • Speed: I'm using a local LLM (Qwen 2.5 14b). It ranges in speed from 2 - 8 seconds unless it's a device command. Those are pretty much instant.
  • Wake word and recognition: This works very well within about 9 feet / 3 meters with it set to "Moderately sensitive". So it works great on my bathroom counter, desk, and bedside table. It is not great for across-the-room conversations.
  • Continued conversation: Now that the PE automatically starts listening if its response ends in a question, I can continue my conversation without saying "Hey Nabu" over and over.
  • Hardware: This is a preview unit, but it's really good considering the resources that were available. My main issue with it is the speaker. I'd gladly pay more for a better speaker.

TLDR: It works really well for a conversation in the morning while I'm getting ready and controlling my devices. Overall, much better and more private than my google homes. Feel free to AMA.
