I'm beginning to replace batteries on some of my devices. I'm able to display the battery levels like so:

but wonder if anyone here has some creative ways to note & show when battery was replaced (the date specifically). It would help give an idea of how long batteries are lasting. TIA

I am looking for a video doorbell that I can integrate with home assistant where I don't have to create any accounts (like in wyze or eufy app), and preferably with onvif compatibility. I don't want to pay for a subscription, and I don't want my doorbell videos to be stored on the cloud. I will be using vpn from my mobile phone to login to my home network and using a home assistant app. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Thanks!

Original Title: Utilizing newest ChatGPT 4o imaging to help create uniformity in icons and dashboard images vs. what I had previously. Created a "project" and am feeding it images of plants, items, family/dog, etc. to create uniform, same sized, etc. images.

Almost two years have passed since we built the first LD2410 millimeter wave sensor 1U and we are about to reach the 6000th DIY sensor we will build. New millimeter wave sensors haven't always been that appealing, the LD2410 was very successful, the LD2450 was good (we were fortunate enough to build the first DIY LD2450 Sensor 2A to introduce it to the world of HA), but the LD2412's most recent update, the LD2412S, which has a redesigned antenna (and has become much more like the LD2410), but still has much more powerful static detection, and longer range detection. The new antenna is thought to have better static detection performance, and in our initial tests it still seems to work well at 6 or 7 meters away.

The L13 is based on the LD2412S sensor as an updated version of our previous L12, and also incorporates the BH1750 professional light sensor (which we used extensively in the 2A, F2, and LS1).

For those who chose the L13, using HLK's APP HLKRadartool you can use the automatic detection of the underlying noise of the 13 gates, which is a completely new mechanism, unlike the complex threshold settings, it is the module itself that calculates the underlying noise factor (as explained by the hlk developers) to exclude some of the fixed disturbances.It's a very interesting feature.

Anyway, as always, we are happy to continue exploring these interesting new sensors with you.

It is important to mention that the drawbacks of the L13 include the fact that the ranging distance is not reliably accurate, a feature that seems to have been sacrificed, meaning that you may be showing more than 1m away even when you are in front of the sensor, which seems to be a problem at the closest distances.

As one of the first people to build the LD2412 as a DIY sensor, and having shared our code, as well as working with people to improve on early code issues, we're looking forward to finding out some interesting things about the LD2412S.

If you haven't tried SCREEK's sensors yet, here's how they work: plug in the matching USB cable to the sensor, connect the sensor's hotspot, configure the network (if no page pops up, type in 192.168.4.1), the device will be auto-discovered in HA, and that's all done.

We will give 20% discount on L13 in the next few days and invite everyone to join this fun adventure. We also hope that more people will try this fun new radar module.

Thanks for your support and happy adventuring.

Since it's a hot topic today - this new ChatGPT feature will change the Picture Elements Card game!

in the pictures you can see the potential use for window state (closed/open) or oven state (off/running).

It will for sure reuire a bit more than a half-sentenced prompt and quite some time slicing the pictures into pieces to have all the possible combinations of states, but we can now make the dashboards (almost) fully visual with ease and in any style you might think of.

Hey everyone,

I'm thrilled to announce that 638 Sensy-One S1 mmWave sensors have been sold, and it's all thanks to you! Your incredible support and feedback have made this journey possible!

What's coming next?

PoE Version: Due to popular demand, we're developing a Power over Ethernet sensor, expected mid-April.

Own PCB & Antenna Design (Future Commercial Version): I'm looking to team up with skilled engineers to develop our very own PCB and antenna design for the next gen mmWave sensor.

If you have demonstrable experience in mmWave antenna design and PCB development and want to be part of this exciting project, please shoot me a PM. Thanks for being a key part of this adventure!

Cheers, John from Sensy-One (GitHub, YouTube, Discord)

I’m sure a lot of us are wondering as we are tempted to jump into the voice automation scene.

Can the preview’s compete with the Echo, HomePod, and Home?

Is local LLM worth it or is simply using OpenAi or Anthropic a good fit?

I made a somewhat long 12min video showcasing my setup! Watch it on YouTube. The real home images are in the video. If you’re interested, I can make a follow-up walkthrough with more details.
