Original Title: Say entirely hypothetically somebody forwarded a port from their router and had it protected only by a HA account with a strong password while exposed to the internet. How quickly would their home burn down?

Seriously though, it seems everybody uses Nabu Casa or Tailscale etc. or some other VPN/tunneling scenario. Is the only risk in the described scenario a brute force password attack? Wouldn’t that be apparent from the login attempts? What is the risk I’m not accounting for in doing this? Hypothetically, I mean.

I have been wanting to learn Home assistant and ESP home for a long time and decided to fix this annoying issue as my first project!

I used 2 ESP32s, a 0-10V proportional ball valve and an NTC temp probe. I wanted to measure the outside ground temp to decide when to turn on the ball valve just enough to trickle the water before the ground gets to freezing temperature. Easier ways to do it but I learned a lot more doing it this way!

I made a big dumb video about it too if you're into that kind of thing:

I guess you would like to get notifications on your phone when something happens. Are you constantly connected to your home VPN?

Thinking of upgrading my home with some smart tech, but I don’t want to waste money on gimmicks. What devices have actually made a difference in your daily routine? Looking for practical, time-saving stuff—bonus if it works well with Google or Alexa.

Hi there!

Let's gather all those recent inspiring Home Assistant dashboards into one thread! Seeing your creative layouts, card choices, and data displays is super helpful and enjoyable.

Hopefully, this will give both new and current users ideas for their own setups – for data, cards, style, and layout.

Share your dashboards and let's inspire each other! 😊

Hey, I've been searching for a ZigBee CO alarm, any recommendations?

Edit: Not looking for a CO alarm—just smoke detectors as a means to react early in case of a fire.

Hey all,

I am prepping my house to be able to run independently of the electrical grid and the internet. Getting solar to be off grid as much as possible. Even built a home media server that does not require the internet. I will admit there's a little bit of a prepper mentality in this...current political climate has me thinking about shit hitting the fan. But also for extended power outage times.

As for home control, is home assistant a good option for offline home control (lights, thermostat, garage, etc.)? I am currently using Google home to control everything, but once the Internet goes out (even if WiFi is on) it becomes a paper weight.

Is home assistant good for this use case?

Thanks!

Which Local LLM do you use? How many GB of VRAM do you have? Which GPU do you use?

EDIT: I know that local LLMs and voice are in infancy, but it is encouraging to see that you guys use models that can fit within 8GB. I have a 2060 super that I need to upgrade and I was considering to use it as an AI card, but I thought that it might not be enough for a local assistant.

EDIT2: Any tips on optimization of the entity names?

Hey everyone,

We’re a small team working on a project called iotics, its been in development since late 2019 and now at a stage where I feel ready to open it up to the community.

iotics is a Home Assistant add-on and mobile companion app, designed to make sharing HA devices at home simpler and user-friendly with permissions.

The core app is completely free, and to help keep the project sustainable, a few extra features may require a small contribution. That said, I’m currently offering free unlock codes—just hop into our iotics Discord to claim one and get full access.

While the app is mostly ready, a few devices may still need additional tweaking for full compatibility. If you run into any issues, please reach out via our Discord ticket system—we’re here to help!

📚 I've set up some documentation here: www.iotics.live

💬 Join the community on Discord:

Thanks for checking it out—I can’t wait to hear what you think!
