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.

4 inch rock moved to new spot. And new gravel spot ready,#poolpond #backyard #home #gardening #BackyardProject #pandemicpond

two loads in the cart. One load left on the ground of the 1 inch rocks then it's into the gravel
don't be fooled by what you can see. The black fabric is actually concealing, almost half of the pile of gravel lol

Heute ab 18:30 findet das #EmbeddedSoftwareMeetup zum Thema #HomeAssistant bei #SupercomputingSystems in

Home Assistant, Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 6:30 PM | Meetup
**About** Home Assistant is an open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. It is powered by a worldwide community of tinkerers and DIY enthusiast

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!
#selfhosted

it's time to move the last of this rock out of this back part of the yard to somewhere else so that the mountain of dirt can be flattened and spread out and ready for planting and other things.
The clay is already hardening up!

back and muscles say i am done for now but I made a good dent in the gravel. Managed to get all the gravel off the black fabric so that can be stored away. Just a two or three cart loads left but I don't want any nasty back surprises!
Maybe I can look up some folks with a bobcat and book a date for levelling! 🙌 🚜

Set up HA to sent a metrics to Prometheus over MQTT so I can scale the PostgreSQL server I have on my home cluster for development down when my PC is off:

Nach Jahrzehnten auf abgelegten Ex-Arbeitgeberstühlen habe ich mir zum ersten Mal einen "richtigen" #Bürostuhl neu gekauft :-)

Migrated the Docker server over to Debian to match the other VMs. Scary, but not too horrible. Also, moving Docker volumes is a pain in the ass.

A big advantage of home automation / #homeassistant is that you can remotely mess up and accidentally defrost your fridge because somehow the smart plug it is connected to is turned off while applying a software update. Bonus points for doing so while away for multiple weeks. Ask me how I know.
I’ll have to write an automation that sends me a notification when the plug is turned of…

Finally managed to hook my #GoogleNest in #HomeAssistant.
If you are in the same situation, remember to remove *all* Google credentials first. Home Assistant doesn't allow org accounts, only regular ones. I had Google Drive with my main account, which is in my own org.

Recommendations on a 24port 2.5 and 10Gbs switch for a home network?
I would like to swap out my aged 1Gbs managed switch with an unmanaged variety. (I used VLANs at the start but long ago decided they were more work than they were worth for even a relatively complex/busy home network)
currently trolling ebay.
Oh, also if you have recommendations for places to obtain such a beast with decent shipping to Canada, let me know!

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.

I made a helm chart for running Eclipse Mosquitto in a k8s cluster for my Home Assistant and wrote a blog post showing how to configure and install it.

the local music venue and gathering spot (ex church) is packed tonight to listen to some homegrown talent who was recently rewarded with a dream gig taking a spot in BTO beside fellow Vancouver Islander Randy Bachman.
He just finished his first tour of North America with the band.
Lance was in my grad class in 1995. Played bass in band. He has his own music releases as well which apparebtly have now found new life too.
He's good people. So happy for him. Wish I could be in there rockin' with him. 🎸 🤘
Support your local school music program people! ❤️
look for campfireLance on Insta if you're there.

Last photos! The arbutus is doing great!!
I am a little worries that the damage it suffered from rutting deer last year will lead to disease. 🤞
But the hazelnut tree is budding!

Things are growing in the backyard despite the continued #poolPond chaos.
Rhubarb is sprouting fast. A daffodil held on near the hazelnut tree even with all the disturbances.
And the young plum tree is budding!

rocks moved!
Managed to move the last of the larger rock off the blue tarp and spread it around the top of the pond. A tiny hope of mine is that this could be enough to stabilize the liner so that when I empty it of its (quickly algae-ifying) rain water, it doesn't bulge out from the sides. I doubt I will be that lucky so I will have to fill it with city water (chlorinated) to keep the algae and mosquitoes at bay while preserving the shape of the liner until the ground around it hardens up.
The rainy season is winding down!
thankfully i didnt have to use any city water to clean the rocks as I moved them. Just used the hose emptying water from the other ponds.
