Since fire season has kicked in, a reminder that it's easy (it took me ~10m because I am a crappy solderer) to add an ESP32 to an Ikea Vindriktning air quality sensor and get pm2.5 data into HA so you can have it notify you when the air quality gets worse than usual.
It costs ~$25 for the esp32 Vindriktning. There are plenty of howtos out there, mine is at #HomeAssistant @…

Puh. #HomeAssistant wirft native Installationen und 32Bit-Systeme (incl. ARM) ausm Support. Sehr schade. Jetzt geht nur noch VM oder Container, also noch mehr Abstraktion und Rumpaketiere zwischen HA und dem System, was kaputt gehen kann. Alles sehr unschön, da HAOS viele Geräte nicht sauber unterstützt und Container viele Einschränkungen bei Netzwerk und Sicherheit hat. :/

Took me two days to fix bootloop on #homeassistant That's what happen when you use old hardware (rpi 3 and gen 5 stick), you have to dig far to find the solution. Activating one option was all it took. Amazing!

I'm looking for a #wallswitch that has the same aesthetics as #Livolo switches but that's reliable. From my internet searches I don't feel comfortable ordering Livolo devices

I am annoyed that #homeassistant decided to stop supporting the "supervised" installation method.
It was the only one that works perfectly for me.
HA OS - did not recognize the drives on the machine
The docker alternative - no support the hardware I plugged into the machine.
I'll continue to roll on the supervised install, and I do really hope that the…

#Homeassistant adventures continue.. Have a little raspberry pi microcontroller thing with an IR transmitter. Have successfully made it turn on our projector. Now just need to get that such that I can make it happen from the dashboard :)

#HomeAssistant Community Day bei #haxko. Natürlich gibt es einen Kaffee-Counter über HA-Automation. Weil man es kann. Nur bitte nicht hinter die Fassade gucken ;)

I've been getting notifications from #HomeAssistant throughout the day as National Grid are doing work on our local substation. Even though I haven't been working from home today, it's good to see my little UPS would've let me carry on as usual throughout the power cuts.

Just setup #homeassistant, a #tasmota bulb and some #tasmota plugs from mylocalbytes.co.uk. So slick and not a corporation in sight.

I've been looking at retrofit smart locks like the #Switchbot Lock Pro or the #Nuki. What are people's experiences with them - do they work well? How’s the #HomeAssistant integration, if…

Has anyone used an intel arc 310 sparkle eco for speech to text?
For context, looking at local speech to text for home assistant because why not. Might be missing something obvious btw, just remembered the A310 exists so was wondering if it was good haha.

Uhhhh there are sooo many options of this SMLight Zigbee USB adapter thing
SLZB-07
SLZB-07P7
SLZB-07P10
SLZB-07MG24
It’s hard to find information about the differences. Which one is the best? Which of them support both Zigbee and Thread/Matter?
