I'm just one of the beta users of home assistant who likes to help the developers.

Amazon Devices is a new integration part of the 2025.6 delivery and part of the feature is the automatic discovery of Alexa devices. These devices, when connected to local wifi, don't have the consistent hostname and we can only really discover them with MAC address discovery

We are looking to get some information from you, a first 6 hex digits of the MAC address of your Alexa device. This will be then put on the list for discovery.

You can see the MAC address with:

1. Alexa app on your phone, devices -> your device -> device information
2. In your wifi router if you know which device is Alexa

We have these root MAC addresses to discover Alexa for now. They are all part of Amazon reserved MAC list:

Amazon has many more reserved MAC roots, but at this point we are not sure if all of them can be used for Alexa or only part of them is. Objective is to reduce number of MAC addresses to the minimum needed. The list will likely evolve over the time

Thanks

The Satellite1 is an extremely powerful voice assistant & multi-sensor Dev Kit compatible with Home Assistant. It's available in US, EU & UK.... and today we're officially launching the first member of our "Squircle Enclosure Family" — introducing the Large 3-Inch Squircle Enclosure!

25 Watt Amplifier, 24 LED diffuser ring, 4 Microphones, 4 Buttons. This thing rocks!

This awesome enclosure:

• Sounds amazing and feels downright professional

• Perfectly fits all versions of the Satellite1 Dev Kit

• Supports 6 different speakers you can choose from

• Fully 3D printable at home or via an online service (and soon available in our store!)

• Soon will support an optional PoE "SHOE" board that will power the speaker, provide wired networking, and move the temp/humidity/lux/mmWave sensors into the speaker enclosure for accurate readings.

Read the full documentation here to learn more.

Cross-Section of the Large Enclosure

Please help us spread the word about Satellite1 so we can continue building cool stuff for all of us.

That is all! Thanks for everyone's support.

Small & Medium Enclosures Coming Soon! :)

I've absolutely fallen in love with home assistant ever since I started using it a few months back, and today I have even more appreciation for it.

I have a pretty decent amount of Google nest speakers, and speaker groups never works without being choppy or just straight up refusing to work. BUT, after setting up Music assistant and changing the codec to WAV, and then set my profile to "chunked" all my issues have disappeared, and my speaker groups seem rock solid.

Just wanted to appreciate all the hard work that goes on here, and I'm super stoked I don't have to find replacements for an entire home music system. Like, I'm still not used to walking around and hearing all my speakers actually playing music instead of static!

Hey everyone! I've been getting into birding for the last few years. That only recently grew when I learned about the BirdNET-Go project. BirdNET-Go is a real-time BirdNET soundscape analyzer and classification tool for bird sounds. It is built on top of the work of the BirdNET project, and influenced by the original BirdNET-Pi project.

This was the first project I found that made continuous bird sound detection at home possible (as opposed to using an app my phone that had to stay open, or running new wiring at my house).

I have been adding a bunch of dashboard cards to the Home Assistant using the BirdNET-Go API and have left comments about them in the forums for the past few weeks. But I wanted to share the whole process of how I set up my system to detect birds at home since I've made quite a few improvements and my thread replies were starting to get a bit large.

Cool things about the post:

• I've included a few command_line sensors in Home Assistant that fetch data from the BirdNET-Go API
• Using these sensors, I've created a handful of custom markdown cards in Home Assistant
• I've also created a few notification automations for things like specific birds, new species, or species that have made a return
• A bunch of other bonuses (like scripts to generate shareable videos from detections, my favorite bird sounds so far, and some cool bird pictures)

BirdNET-Go is just such a cool project that I really wanted more people to know about it. So here we are. A really rewarding project, and I was genuinely surprised by the audio quality and detection accuracy I could get from standard IP camera mics once configured correctly. I avoided running new power/hardware for the sensing part, which was a big plus.

HUGE shout out to u/thakala for developing BirdNET-Go and another huge thanks to u/bkw_17 for raising to my attention that this existed and supported RTSP streams in this comment.

Hey y'all!

I'm the maintainer of Digital Alchemy, a feature rich modern Typescript based framework for building logic with 🏡 Home Assistant. For the uninitiated (fair, I barely advertise the project), this project is intended to be a compelling alternative to Node Red, Home Assistant YAML + UI automations, AppDaemon, and other similar tools.

For a quick demo on how the tools work: Basic usage & more complex example (uses internal dev entities)

A big focus of the project is the code ergonomics, placing as much information as possible about your setup right into the editor so you don't need to guess at the shape of things or reference documentation in the browser all the time. If you're an experienced dev with opinions about how you like to do things already, you can easily use your favorite tools and do everything from dev/prod setups to unit testing.

If you're looking for a nice canned starting point, there's a few options depending on your setup.

• HAOS based setups, with an dedicated addon support for running your code - Docs
• Standalone project, connect via external api - Docs

The overall project is in a api stable place, but there's still some ongoing enhancements happening as time permits. Couple updates from this year:

• Big overhaul of the docs with more examples and better grouped information.
• The type-writer script now writes it's types to your src/ folder adding a TON of information to tell you more about the capabilities of your setup

If you have questions / issues, the best spots to contact me are via Discord or opening an issue in Github

• Docs - https://docs.digital-alchemy.app/docs/home-automation
