After a couple of years, learning about esp home, ZigBee, designing elevnhundred different dashboards, learning about custom button cards, building a dash Oard for my phone from scratch, one for the tablet, installed a Nspanel Pro in my wall, hooked up my son's lights in his room he can control and created some buttons doing al kinds of different things, ulanszi display with awtrix that display a lot of information, timers, garbage collection,..... I'm..... Getting bored.

I used to get such a rush when finally achieving an automation, or coming up with a cool idea for my dashboards, always keeping the WAF in mind (she can still control everything directly with wall switches). But no I'm in that "nah, it's ok the way it is"

Any random ideas how I can relive the feelings I got when discovering all this? I'm 'ot going to go the node red route, because there isn't a single automation I can image that would help me that I can't built in the automations y'all.

I can't figure out a single thing anymore I want to build.

Help!

Just a reminder for Anyone hosting HA on a mini-PC, make sure the BIOS setting "Automatically Power-On after Alternating Current (AC) Power Is Restored" is ON.

Otherwise, your home automation server won't power on after a power outage, which is a huge bummer.

After you set this setting, don't forget to test it by pulling the plug and connecting it back to your server.

Wasn't tuya the recommendation a couple years ago as you could flash esphome on it. Why is it now whenever I see tuya come up it is followed with lots of hate? What have I missed?

There are a few things going on at the moment like 24.10.0 etc.

But my HA was crashing/becoming unresponsive and I am pretty sure I have isolated the problem to the Alexa Media Player update from 4.13.2 to 4.13.3. If I do that update the system pretty reliably stops responding for me.

Why do they update this every second day anyhow?

Has anyone used an older Samsung/iPad Air because of small bezels or other manufacturers for a beefier tablet experience for a kitchen wall tablet? I know Amazon sells the Pro type lineup now but I just don't like Fire tablets, and trust me I've tried a lot of them, debloated and all.

This is a 2024 version of the classic debate.

After reading through the Matter Documentation I see the entry about adding matter bridges into homeassistant to take in their devices. I already do this with some child devices.

But why can't I expose my homeassistant as a matter bridge itself? That way I could control all of my devices locally and with a voice assistant of my choosing. I can't really find the info for why this is left out right now.

Picked up a few as soon as they became available. Immediately showed up in ZHA, all sensors reporting. They also feel really solid and well made, despite the low price.

I setup up Home Assistant the other day for the first time, adding in everything I could including my Unifi router. I didn't think much of it when it was trying to add devices that I already had in there, other than thinking how cool that was that it was able to discover things on my IOT network easily using this.

Fast forward to yesterday, I was setting up a dashboard just for the lights and as I went through my smart lights I saw one labeled livingroom lamp 2 that had a lightbulb icon but I also saw a livingroom lamp 2 with a plug icon. Weird I thought. I could adjust the brightness and the white level but in my head I was like "I shouldn't be able to do this with a plug." I kept messing with it and finally thought "Is there a smart bulb in there?" Look at the top of the lamp, and yes there was! It wasn't in my Tp-link Kasa account anymore, it wasn't listed on my Google Home. But Home Assistant found it! I had completely forgotten about this bulb since I moved almost 3 years ago, but now I can use it again and repurpose that smart plug for something else entirely.

Seriously, Home Assistant discovery is truly better than Google Home and Amazon Alexa in my opinion and I've used both!

This weekend I managed to pull together a couple things to get an automation working and I was stoked when it worked.

We recently finished a kitchen remodel and I bought a small beverage fridge. I specifically got one that was “app enabled” because I figured i could probably automate it. It uses Tuya, and this weekend I managed to use node red to connect the state on my under cabinet lights to turn on and off the led in the beverage fridge.

The under cabinet lights are automated through a motion detector (only after sunset).

So, long story short, at night if I walk into the kitchen, the under cabinet lights softly come on and the beer fridge lights up. It is completely unnecessary, but very cool, haha.

I’m time poor. I need to spend a lot of time to get my HA running smoothly with a few basic automations and a nice dashboard that is wife friendly.

I don’t have time for this so how much of a bad idea is it to pay someone to do it. There are people on fiverr but not sure I like the idea of giving them access to remote in.
