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?

My Voice constantly hears its wake word when I'm watching TV. When that happens it also hears a portion of the ongoing conversation from the TV before I can yell "never mind". Since the Voice has already heard some audio after hearing the wake word it's in "transcription mode" and doesn't respond to the "never mind" input.

This will tell the Voice to stop listening: "Hey Jarvis........ never mind".

But when it somehow hears its name during a commercial for some medicine this doesn't make it stop listening: "Hey Jarvis..... be sure to ask your doctor about never mind"

Is there a way to tell my Voice to stop listening if it's already in its Whisper phase? Can Whisper tell the Voice to bail out if it transcribes a certain word or phrase?

I wanted a way of viewing devices as they come online and my Orbi router is a pain to do this on. This uses the NETGEAR integration to det the device tracker entities.

Here's what this card will do:

• Find all device_tracker entities with state "home"
• Display them in an entities card
• Use the friendly_name attribute as the primary display name (with a fallback that formats the entity_id nicely if friendly_name is missing)
• Show the IP address in the secondary line
• Sort the devices alphabetically by name
• Hides the card when no devices are at home

Requirements:

You'll need to install the "lovelace-template-entity-row" and "auto-entites" custom cards via HACS (Home Assistant Community Store).

`yaml type: custom:auto-entities card: type: entities title: Devices at Home icon: mdi:router-network state_color: true filter: include:

• entity_id: device_tracker.* state: home options: type: custom:template-entity-row name: >- {{ state_attr("this.entity_id", "friendly_name") or this.entity_id.split(".")[1] | replace("_", " ") | title }} secondary: "IP: {{ state_attr("this.entity_id", "ip") }}" exclude: [] show_empty: false sort: method: name reverse: false`

Hey everyone! I'm on a quest to make my dashboard look exactly like I want, but without having to use things like card-mod. To that end, I need to make or modify a bunch of cards that let me customize aspects of them that I couldn't before.

The first card I did is the Bolder Weather Card

It's based on pkissling's excellent Clock Weather Card, but with a totally redesigned Today section and full UI customization support.

I plan on trying to get this (and the other cards I have in the works) into the default HACS repository eventually, but am making it available as a custom repository right now:

Features:

• Big bold text and images that are readable from a distance.
• Full UI customization.
• Day/Night colors.
• All icons have been modified and cropped to look good on the card.
• Theme variables to customize... basically every CSS aspect of the card.
• New loading UI on the Forecast section so that it doesn't resize when refreshing (vs the Clock Weather Card it's based on).

Planned Features

• Ability to add a "style" ID in the configuration that makes custom CSS variable names so that you can single out one card only to apply certain theming to.

I don't know if anyone else will find this useful, but it's always good to share.

We've had HA for ages, for like a decade, a few times we're started over, the current setup is from late 2022 when we moved house. We've had ESP32 stuff hooked up to our garage door to make the dumb garage door smart, and some sensors to detect the door position, I feel all pretty standard stuff.

However, about 30 minutes ago (2.57pm), I was WFH, home alone, and the garage door just opened. The logs show that Google Assistant issued the command via HA to open the door, but since we're mostly an Apple and Alexa household, with one member of the house having an Android phone and a Google Nest in their room, it makes it a bit easier to narrow down.

The Android user has checked, and their Google account says that no actions have been taken today in their Activity feed, so that leaves their Nest in an empty room to randomly open the door, which is set to require a PIN... or some kind of weird Google craziness that just opened my garage door for no reason.

Has anyone had anything similar? This is pretty worrying and concerning. And NGL going to check if someone had come into the garage after it opened on it's own kind of had my heart racing...

As noted on the integration page here, google lowered their limits for the distance matrix API. Thankfully I was only billed 38 bucks before I noticed. Setting a Distance Matrix API Quota for "Elements per Day" of 322 or lower will prevent you getting charged.
