Set up a second wall panel for #HomeAssistant based on a Lenovo tablet. I have no idea how people actually use android tablets in practice - the amount of abusive features, bloat, and rampant disregard for user consent is shocking. No wonder no one uses android tablets, I was once again close to shucking it out the window a few times, and I was just trying to get Fully Kiosk installed.

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

Wenn ihr #Homeassistant als VM auf einem #Proxmox Cluster betreibt und den Zustand zwischen den Nodes repliziert, damit ihr eine höhere Ausfallsicherheit habt:
Deaktiviert den qemu-agent!
Ansonsten wird bei jeder Replikation eine freeze-thaw-session durchlaufen und das erzeugt Probleme…

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.

Was mir bei #Homeassistant richtig fehlt, ist eine Möglichkeit, den Speicherverbrauch einzelner Integrationen tracken zu können.
Ich kann das nur indirekt, indem ich einzeln Integrationen deaktiviere und dann abwarte, die Differenz bilde und dann grob abschätze - aber das ist überhaupt nicht das, was ich benötige.
Ich würde wirklich gern wissen, wie viel Speicher eine Integration…

#openhab ist seit vielen Jahren das Herz meine Gausautomatisierung.
Es scheint als ob vald eine Transplantation stattfinden wird, den #homeassistant ist einfach besser...

Thinking about making a new dashboard/card for my HomeAssistant that shows the planes I might be hearing at the moment, flying over our house, based on my ADSB receiver data.

Tempted to call the motion detector in my office „senpai“ because it frequently doesn’t notice me 😫

Uuuh, #HomeAssistant IR and RF blaster from Nabu Casa? Sign me up, can't wait for that to arrive.

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.

#Homeassistant update 2026.4.2. What could possibly go wrong? A dot release before going to bed, sure. OK. Does not boot. OK, try reboot again. Nope. OK, restore from backup (which it does before the update). Oh, now the backups don't work anymore. Get around the 500 by creating a dummy user. Uploading backup and restore: Does not boot. Try older backup. Same. Try new SD Card. Same. 2h wasted instead of sleep and no HA anymore. *sigh*

Oh, another nice thing I just saw: iOS Live Activities are finally coming to #HomeAssistant!

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

I absolutely love #squeezelite for Android. It turns my #homeassistant dashboard tablet on the kitchen wall into a fully fletched #Lyrion client controllable directly from the dashboard and anywhere else.

Das Ding steht jetzt aber mit Kühlkörpern im "Serverschrank" im Keller. Jetzt weiss ich auch nicht mehr weiter.

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.

#IKEA is replacing all #ZigBee based Smart Home devices by #Matter based ones. This might be the way to go for the future but it's forcing me to add yet another network to my #homeassistant just because I was too late to still get the perfectly fine ZigBee variant. 🫤
BTW: The new Matter devices come with a legacy ZigBee mode, but it only provides very basic functionality. The Grillplats switch does not provide power metering data over ZigBee.

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.
