Has anyone created an automation yet for #HomeAssistant that opens their garage when you say "Open the pod bay door, HAL"?

Nice little trick to improve the WiFi on your #ESP32 boards with PCB antenna. The improvement is clearly visible

This Week in Self-Hosted (4 April 2025)
#AprilShowers bring new projects, software updates and launches, a spotlight on #BookLore -- an ebook management and reading platform, and more in this week's #selfhosted recap!
In-fucking credible. The #HomeAssistant companion app doesnt support socks5 for tor access. Instead, they want you to forward ports and get a dynamic DNS and an SSL certificate because its so much easier. /s
How incredibly disappointing and short-sighted.
@balkonsolar ich hab einen Deye-Wechselrichter und 2 Panele und die zugehörige Solarman- App im Einsatz. Jetzt will ich wissen, wieviel Strom ich nutze und wieviel einspeise. Dafür brauche ich einen Zähler, also ein Smart meter, dass ich mit der App verwenden kann. Habt ihr da einen Tipp, für was 3-phasiges, mit WiFi oder Ethernet, man auch später mit einer größeren Installation, z.B. MQTT, #Homeassistant etc verwenden kann?
I see some new attention to dashboards in the latest #HomeAssistant which is great.
I need to spend some time learning how to do more with dashboards and cards, as I'm not wild about the information density and organization I've been able to achieve so far (which has been rudimentary)

Vanavond is het weer zo ver. De maandelijkse release party van #HomeAssistant
Iedere 1ste woensdag van de maand om 21:00 de AppleTV aan en genieten van alle nieuwe aankondigen en updates.
I updated the Forecast code to fix some Legacy Warning messages.

my #HomeAssistant pi keeps falling over and I have no idea where to start diagnosing and fixing the issue. I think it's a problem with the external SSD, as unplugging it and plugging it back into a different USB port fixes it?
#homeassistant Can anyone help me? I've installed HA on my Synology drive, and the client on my Android tablet. I have several Govee bulbs and light strips, but HA has only found one strip. And now I'm stuck. How can I get it to recognize the others? Thanks for any help.
Replaced old 1950s receptacle w new one. Added clamp-on current sensors out to a #Zigbee unit in a separate (plastic) box to contact #HomeAssistant.
Broke the tab off to split the receptacle and applied sensors to track dehumidifier and sump pump separately.
Needed a sensor flip to fix current dir, but it works nicely now. I get an email if the pump comes on!
Only in the house 6mo or so, and don't think the sump pump has run yet. We'll see how spring goes – probably the riskiest period.
Which door and window sensors do people use with Home Assistant? I do like Aqara products. Any thoughts?

Is there a #HomeAssistant compatible thermostat that can run based on external sensors instead of its own thermometer? My thermostat is on a cold wall, and I need it to turn on and off based on other room temperatures, not the wall temperature at the thermostat. (Can't move it since I'm renting.)
I built a voice assistant so I can ditch Amazon products. Here’s how that’s going.
This is the little 2channel #zigbee monitor I'm using. Looks like lots of people using something similar. It has two current sensor clamps, so it's nicely non invasive.
Not wild about it using 120V power as a battery or an adapter would prob be safer, but I've put the thing in a utility box to keep the 120V supply lines safely covered.
Can sense up to 80A of current
Oh hey, I found a community-edited ZHA Quirk for the 2--chan power monitor I'm using seems to be working.
I should at least be able to monitor current and power effectively while the official Quirk code is finalized. Nice!
Learning more than I'd hoped was necessary about the #HomeAssistant #zigbee device handling.
There are python add-ons called "Quirks" that let devices add sensor entities after the fact for ZHA and Z2m.
I've got a 2-channel power sensor I'm trying to add and it seems to be on the bleeding edge of supported devices.
I see dev work going on, so might be the easiest path forward is to wait a few weeks.
But hey, I learned about Quirks today, so that's a new corner of HA for me.
I can confirm that #HomeAssistant OS 15.1 runs fine on a HP T620 Thin Client. The issue with HAOS 15.0 is solved! Thanks team!
