In 2025.7, we made improvements to the Areas dashboard.

The dashboards the community has shared helped shape this design and we would love to see how it works for you. Even if you already have the perfect dashboard, try it out!

Hey, #HomeAssistant devs...
You know how Android has that cool app that has my dashboards AND sends all sorts of data back to my HA server?
I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY want that for Linux Mobile.
Please!!!
Even just the dashboards and location.

"Using the app as a launcher"

I'll admit, the idea of using @homeassistant as a "Launcher" caught me off guard for a second. My pseudo-decaffeinated brain was trying to work out how I'd use the #HomeAssistant app as a launcher replacement on my phone. It took me longer than I care to admit to figure out this will replace some 3rd party apps to use phones/tablets as Home Assistant screens. Now that I've figured out what they're talking about, great idea! Love it!

So Leute, Prime Day ist da.

Ich suche einen Batteriespeicher den ich in eine Steckdose packen kann von der er laedt, und der eine Steckdose hat, in die ich eine Grundwasserpumpe stecken kann (Verbrauch 1000 Watt). Die Pumpe laeuft zwei mal am Tag fuer 40 mins.

Die Ladesteuerung soll ueber HomeAssistant funktionieren (offline perfekt, online akzeptabel) und wenn der Akku leer ist soll er einfach Netzstrom durchschleusen.

Was schlagt ihr vor?

My latest #homeassistant #esphome project: A parking assistant for the garage.

Our garage is fairly small and the only spot for the refrigerator is against the back wall. This makes parking challenging, since there's only a few inches difference between clearing the garage door and leaving space to open the refrigerator door.

I designed this device to make it easier to park the car in the sweet spot. Design details to follow in the next post...

Mein #SmartHome zu de-amerikaniskeren (und de-sinologieren) war nicht trivial.

Was weg muss: Tuya, SmartThings, Google Assitant, Alexa, Hue etc.

Ich brauche keinen Sprachassi, aber etwas Automatisierung.

#HomeAssistant ist das Nonplusultra für Bastler. #FOSS und läuft lokal.

Ich bin bei #AVM Fritz gelandet. DECT ist stabil, Rest wird per Zigbee verbunden. Alles läuft lokal.

Es ist nicht das modernste, nicht das flexibelste, aber es ist solide.

Is there a way to tell #Jellyfin to play a specific piece of media on a specific client? I.e. I want a script that:

1. tells the Roku TV in the living room to open the Jellyfin app

2. Tell that instance of the Jellyfin Roku app to play The Simpsons S04E12.

The first step I can do with #HomeAssistant but the second step seems not possible.

Controlling my smart home with a D20! Text-to-speech generated on a local GPU plays on a smart speaker in the room. Decorative lighting turns on or off depending on the roll. @homeassistant #smarthome #homeassistant #homeautomation #tabletop #gamewithpixels

Après avoir mis de coté le projet car l'écran semblait déconner, je ressort mon display @esphome branché à @homeassistant . Objectif d'afficher la consommation énergétique de la maison (notamment pour décaler les usages en fonction de la production solaire) et des petits bouts de météo.

... si vous connaissez des projets esphome d'affichage sympa qui peuvent être vampirisés, je suis preneur.

My dumb Airco is now Smart and automated in Home Assistant!

See the link in the comments to discover how I did that!

#homeassistant only allows one Sun. What if my home planet has more?

Choo choo homie!

If I scan the NFC tag on the door to the kids' room it disables the motion sensor, dims the lights to a warm colour and slowly fades in brown noise while playing music box versions of my favourite game music on an old speaker hooked up to an old phone with a cracked screen.

I love #HomeAssistant.
