Well, it's about time I got started on my latest self-hosted project: Home Assistant. Luckily, I've had an RPi 4 for a while now, so I'm saving myself the money these gadgets cost these days.
First stop: automating the lighting system.
Next stop: smart irrigation system.
Here I go!

Bei vielen Artikeln bin ich unschlüssig, ob ich sie faszinierend oder einfach nur traurig finden soll. 🤔🫣

Another rabbit hole I'd like to share with you. Maybe it'll become a new series on the blog...

4 years ago I got a 3d printer. This little esp32 measuring outside temp and humidity for Home Assistant has been running continuously for years. Don't even remember who came first....

An old SSD, an 80mm fan I had lying around, a Raspberry Pi 4, and a 3D-printed case make up the new (and likely temporary) home for Home Assistant.
For now, I have modest plans for this setup, but once I get the hang of it, I might need to upgrade the hardware if I run out of resources to add new self-hosted home automation devices.

Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeAssistant
There is a @homeassistant@fedigroups.socialbot that replaces the old gup.pe home assistant bot.
Mention it in your home asssitant posts and it will boost them. Follow it to see all the #homeassistant posts it boosts that may not normally get federated to your instance.
There’s also @… - follow that and it will automatically boost everything you post with #homeassistant without you having to remember to mention the bot.
For those who don’t know, these bots exist because when you look for a a hashtag, your server only checks the posts that have been federated to it.
In order for a message to be federated to your server, the author (or one of the people boosting it) have to be followed by someone on your server. If no one touching the message is being followed, it’ll never get federated to your server and you won’t see it.
Hashtags are great for finding messages, but only messages that were federated to your server. They don’t help message propagation, but these bots will.

This Home Assistant thing is a real rabbit hole. I thought I'd just learn something like "a new Docker container", a couple of days of learning and I'd be done. My ass! HA is a freaking Swiss Army knife: I can automate even the damn toaster, and HA will help me create a new scene for it.
If you don't hear from me in the coming weeks, it's because there's no cell service at the bottom of the rabbit hole. Wish me good luck.

I'm running Home Assistant on my raspi and have one ethernet and one wifi connection to my FritzBox. HA is showing
LAN: IPv4 addr ...4 and IPv6 addr [::2].
WLAN: IPv4 addr ...5 and IPv6 addr [::3].
But my FritzBox is showing them as
LAN: IPv4 addr ...5 and IPv6 addr [::2].
WLAN: IPv4 addr ...4 and IPv6 addr [::3].
Eh what? I'm a bit puzzled. HA is using stable privacy extension.

Upgraded Home Assistant from 2026.2.2 to 2026.3.3 last night and it stopped reading the status of my zigbee devices via MQTT.
I'm running HAOS in a proxmox VM and zigbee2mqtt 2.1.1 in a docker container hosted in a different physical with a ConBee2 radio.
To check connectivity issues I had the integration listen for # and saw state updates for my zigbee sensors.
What finally fixed it was going into zigbee2mqtt's settings and disabling and re-enabling Home Assistant integration.

Anyone did one of those self-hosed voice assistants with Home Assistant integration and stuff?

I'm planning to set up a music room for $SPOUSE. Neither of us are audiophiles.
Looking for recommendations for amps that support Airplay, and work well with #HomeAssistant.
Must haves:
- local control - I don't want something that will have issues if its mothership turns off servers, or even just because my internet is out.
- AirPlay support
- Works well with Home Assistant
- Supports unpowered speakers
- Doesn't require an app to configure it
Nice to have
- Streaming support
- IOS app for control
Also looking for disrecommendations for stuff that doesn't work well with HA.

DIY Mesh-enabled Weather Station
The DIY project of the week for me has been a fusion of mesh technologies and weather sensors, brought together with a Wifi backbone powered by a Raspberry pi.
Read how to build your own MeshCore-enabled basic weather station that can also push data to your local Home Assistant.
