My wife and I are becoming parents for the first time this January 🎉

I am setting up the baby room and it felt like the perfect moment to make it smart.

Are there any parents here who use smart home automation in a baby room and have advice or ideas that worked well for you?

This is the smart gear I already have for the baby room.

Govee 30cm RGBWW and RGBIC smart ceiling light model H60A1

IKEA Ormanas LED strip under the baby bed

IKEA Inspelning smart plug with a salt crystal mood light

IKEA Styrbar remote

Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1

Eufy Indoor Cam E220 (in Homekit, can't get it into Homeassistant without loosing Homekit functionality)

Optional additions I have:

IKEA Parasoll door sensor

Everything Presence Lite

I would love to hear real world automations or tips that helped with sleep routines night feeds or just peace of mind.

Good day.

I need a robot vacuum cleaner and of course the first thing I am searching for is experience with recent models of robot vacuum cleaners that have a good integration with HA.

I don’t mind flashing/tweaking if that’s the best option but it would be nice if it worked out of the box.

Full cloud independence is a big plus.

No need for mopping.

Please share your experience. Thanks!

Hi all

I built an open-source fridge controller (in JavaScript) that runs directly on a Shelly Plus 1 or 1PM (Gen2, Gen3, Gen4) with the Shelly Plus Add On and DS18B20 probes.

No cloud, deterministic loop on device, designed to behave more like a commercial refrigeration controller than a basic thermostat.

What it does

Compressor protection

• Enforces minimum ON time and minimum OFF time to prevent short cycling
• Explicit “want cooling” vs “allowed to cool” behaviour, predictable during door openings and sensor noise

Limp mode failsafe

• If sensor data is lost or invalid, it switches to conservative time based cycling (example 20 min per hour)
• Automatically recovers when sensors return

Adaptive hysteresis

• Self tunes hysteresis based on observed cycle duration
• Cycles too short, widen band, cycles too long, tighten band

Fault detection and alarms

• High temperature persistence alarm
• Suspected relay stuck ON behavior
• Suspected compressor rotor locked behavior
• Sensor fault handling

MQTT telemetry and control (Home Assistant friendly)

• Publishes compact JSON payload and accepts commands to adjust target temperature and a temporary turbo mode

Example telemetry payload:

{
  "status": "COOLING",
  "alarm": "NONE",
  "tAir": 4.2,
  "tEvap": -8.5,
  "relay": true,
  "power": 95,
  "duty": 45,
  "hyst": 1.2
}

Example control command:

{ "ctrl_targetDeg": 3.5 }

Hardware

• Minimum: Shelly Plus 1 or 1PM, Shelly Plus Add On, 1x DS18B20
• Recommended: 2x DS18B20, one on evaporator coil, one inside the fridge for ambient

If you try it, I would love to find issues, PRs, and especially 24h temperature graphs from different fridges.

Hi all, I have just released the first version of my Android app, Ava (Android voice assistant). You can find it on Github here. It is intended for quickly and easily turning your existing Android wall panel (or that old phone sitting in your drawer) into a full featured voice assistant for Home Assistant.

Features:

• On device wake word support using the microWakeWord models (custom wake words not supported, yet!)
• Full integration with Home Assistant using the existing ESPHome API (the same as the Voice PE) including voice commands, announcements, conversations, timers and media playback
• Runs as a background service to augment your existing setup

Getting started:

• Ensure you have a working assist pipeline in Home Assistant, see here for further information.
• Install and run the app
• Click Start to start the voice satellite service, it will continue to run in the background until manually stopped
• Add the Android device to Home Assistant as an ESPHome device, either through auto-discovery or by manually adding using the device's IP and port (default 6053) in the ESPHome integration (detailed instructions here). It should then be detected as a voice satellite and Home Assistant should guide you through the rest of the setup process.

Requires Android 8 or above.

Note that whilst it should work on any Android device running Android 8 or above with a usable mic and speakers this app is probably not suitable for your 'daily driver' mobile device.

The ESPHome integration/API requires that the device is reachable from Home Assistant, which requires an open port to be exposed on the device and the device being connected to the same network as Home Assistant. Additionally the app is constantly using the mic to listen for the wake word which brings the potential for privacy and resource usage issues (Android only allows system/OEM apps to use low power 'passive' listening). It should however work great for your 'static' Android devices that aren't power constrained and always connected to your trusted local network.

This app is inspired by the great work being done on Linux Voice Assistant which formed the basis of the implementation, and shout out to this great script that I was previously using to run a Wyoming satellite under Termux on Android.

I have only done limited testing on a couple of Android devices and emulator, so would be grateful for any feedback. Additionally this is my first foray into Android development so any feedback on the code (or pull requests) will be happily received, I had to learn as I went.

Download the apk here and give it a try.

Forgive me for being skeptical, but I can't help but wonder if this statement should end in "for now"

"iRobot said the bankruptcy is not expected to disrupt its app functionality, customer programs, global partners, supply chain relationships or product support."
