I was watching the YouTube livestream and around 1:03:10, Rúnar shows something that really made me stop and think: wow, look at what we’ve all built together.

Home Assistant isn’t just a tool to automate things. It’s a project that gives you freedom, grows with the community, and shows what’s possible when so many people contribute in their own way.

I’m proud to use Home Assistant, but more than anything, I’m grateful for everyone who makes it possible — the devs, the people helping in the forums, those who make tutorials, or just share what they’ve built... Seriously, thank you.

Moments like the one in the video make you realize how special this whole thing is. Thanks again!

Wife and I went on a vacation and my MIL dog sat at our house. My wife STILL prefers home kit but I couldn't add my MIL as a guest in our house. So, I just installed HA on her phone with her own account and logged her in.

When we got back I asked her if she had any issues with the smart home features (blinds, locks, lights, etc) and she said.

"No, the app you give me was so useful that I never had to worry about anything. I just opened it and it let me know what was still on and in which area. It was great!"

We're talking boomer age here. I've never felt more vindicated.

What if the digital price tags used in grocery stores could be repurposed into smart home displays—and all for a surprisingly cost-effective setup?

I just published a blog post on how I used BLE epaper shelf labels, an ESP32, OpenEPaperLink, and Home Assistant to create low-power, always-on displays around the house. These tags are compact, energy-efficient, and much more affordable than traditional smart displays.

In the post I cover:

• Where to find compatible tags and what to look for
• Flashing and configuring OpenEPaperLink on the ESP32
• Designing custom layouts with drawcustom
• Integrating it all with Home Assistant for live data

Let me know what you think—or share if you've built something similar!

Hi All,

I recently set up predictive heating in Home Assistant using a simple derivative sensor—and it’s been a game changer. Instead of waiting for the temperature to drop, it now reacts based on where the temperature is going. No more overcooling due to heating inertia.I wrote a little guide about how it works and how to set it:

"Predictive Heating: Home Comfort with Home Assistant and Derivative Sensors"It’s especially handy for underfloor heating or systems that take a while to react.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

I have my WFH desk in a shallow closet, and the lighting during meetings is awful.

I was thinking of using a smart lamp hooked into my teams calendar, but couldn't figure out how to handle the cases when I take meetings in another room on the laptop...

A quick rethink and one smart switch and contact sensor fixes the issue easily, and the light reminds me to close the webcam privacy cover!

Hi all,

I live in a detached house with my server set up in the garage. Right now, I’ve only got one Shelly wall switch (Wi-Fi — didn’t realize Zigbee would’ve been the better route).

Other smart devices in the house:

• Ajax alarm system with door/window detectors
• Tado thermostat and TRVs
• Smart washing machine (dryer isn’t smart, they’re stacked)

I’m looking to start building out a Zigbee ecosystem. Could you help me out with:

1. What’s the best way to kick things off? (Which hub/coordinator to use? Just a usb dongle?)
2. Which Zigbee sensors/devices do you swear by?

Would love some tips from people who've been down this road. Thanks! 🙌

My washing machine and tumble dryer live in a semi-detached shed so are not visible at all times and they are both prone to giving wildly inaccurate time remaining readings which makes for numerous wasted trips to check when its time to swap the loads.

So my latest project has been to install a Shelly EM to monitor the power usage of both machines and then to notify us when they stop (power drops to 0), this will send a push notification and now will also launch a popup on the tablet I have mounted in the kitchen. I decided to be a bit more "creative" with this popup and so with the help of ChatGPT I decided to add some Fallout 4 elements to my smart home :)

Excuse the bad angle but I was fighting with glare

I want to monitor the power consumption of various 120V and 240V appliances. I like the idea of installing current clamps directly in the panel, but a lot of these products have a hub that has like 8 or 16 circuits, and if you run out they are not expandable. I would like to start off by just monitoring 2 or 3 circuits but have the capability to monitor more and my system grows.

What are you guys using and what is known to work well with HA?
