Woot is selling a Fire Tablet 8 (32gb) for $19.99 with coupon code SMARTFIVE. Great price for a wall dashboard. I thought I’d share.

Check E.g. what it looks like if you're now being charged as of this month

I thought it was just a scam email today saying I was charged $100 by Google but I actually was! Some months ago I set up a basic "travel time to/from home/work" widget on my HA dashboard. It was configured using the google_travel_time integration and was below the threshold for the free tier as it was then. Skip forward and I'm now noticing in my unread email a message Google sent on 2/9/2025 ("*New usage improvements plus tools to manage your bill *") indicating in somewhat non-obvious terms that starting 3/1/2025 there would be a reduction in their free rate of API calls. You would have had to remember the rate of calls you had configured before and which category it was in as otherwise the email read like any other API marketing email.

In hindsight it seems a little underhanded to do that to free tier users when obviously Google could have tailored that email to be specific per each account's usage ("you're using x events a month and will be affected") or even sent out an email when their account went from $0/day to any amount of charge to minimize the costs and alert immediately?

I've disabled the google_travel_time integration until I can switch it to custom polling intervals and be sure I'm within the free tier. Also I'll try to request a refund of the billing charge otherwise this was an expensive lesson for me.

I've noticed an increase in attempts to access my instance of Home Assistant in the last couple of weeks. I would traditionally get a password attempt every 6 months and now I am regularly getting two attempts each day. One is a password attempt and the other is some kind of injection attack.

I recently installed a customization that allows me to proactively block entire ranges of IP addresses which helps.

I was wondering if others are noticing increased hacking attempts or just somehow my DNS entry is being passed around circles for hacking.

I've been trying to create an automation that will check all my devices battery levels, and alert me if any of them is bellow 20%. I don't know how to get the automation to pick up ANY device.

Also, I'd like the notification on my android app to inform what device has low battery, so I assume the device name somehow needs to be passed to the notification.

Any help would be much appreciated

EDIT: Thank you everyone who pointed me to the blueprint. I've got it setup, and I believe it's working.

I've been having some fun with my neighbor; paired his Bluetooth toothbrush with some exterior lights that face his house.

I've heard others who can see the tire pressure of garbage trucks as they go by and all kinds of other unexpected signals. What are some interesting unexpected 'sensors' you all have picked up from the outside world?

I have been using Smart Life on Android for some time. Have a mix of a big diversity of Wifi, Zigbee, switches, sockets, bulbs, presence etc etc. Works pretty well.

I had been toying with trying out something PC / Pi based.....and needed a new Plex server so took the jump to cover off both and try out HA.

Holy hell this is good software. Kudos to the creators and maintainers. I smile every time I try something. Just so good.

Throw in GPT guidance when you want to do something a bit complicated.....so great.

That is all.

Hi! I'm a software lead at Pila, and we're looking to ship Home Assistant support out of the box (publish our internal and external-facing MQTT topics). Pila is a room-by-room home backup battery solution designed to integrate into your existing smart home setup. In the same way that Powerwall leveled up old-school lead-acid home battery banks, we're bringing the UPS into this century with more power/energy plus day-to-day value centered on connectivity, data, and control. It can be configured to charge from solar or the grid (TOU-aware), meters/control power at every outlet + USB-C port, and pairs wirelessly to sensors (like fridge temp or humidity) for richer automations. And with all of this, it works offline — we learned from our time developing Powerwall and SPAN how critical local interoperability is.

Our goal is to make battery backup accessible to the 99.7% of households that don't have a whole-home battery system, and to offer deeper energy intelligence and control, in addition to automatic backup power during outages.

What features would you want to see for our Home Assistant integration? What’s missing from current energy products?

Basically, title...

I guess everyone knows about bulbs/plugs/cameras/motion/presence/contact/smoke/temp/humidity. I'm just wondering if I'm missing on some fun stuff.

I took some concepts and several cards jammed into one to create my favorite card yet. Need to experiment with utilizing more bubble card and clean it up to make it more polished but here’s what I’ve got so far.

I used some of u/Pivotonian yaml and Bubble card, Firmote card, swipe navigation card, and Button card.

Let me know what you think and how I can improve it. I get some flickering from the any animated icon/scrolling text through the webkit-blur which I have yet to find the fix for so until then it won’t feel 100% polished.
