What I updated in the blog post:

• Added a clear update note at the top explaining the breaking changes in v1.5.0
• Rewrote the setup steps to reflect the new configuration flows
• Updated YAML automation examples and removed references to the deprecated Timeline provider
• Kept the same post URL for anyone who bookmarked or linked to it

Let me know if you hit any snags updating, especially if your automations broke silently after the update. I missed the change for a few weeks because I had notifications off while my wife was working near the front of the house and triggering the camera all day 😅

I'm still pretty new to the whole Mini PC thing, but I'm really looking for something low-power and more sustainable. I’d love to have a mini PC as my home assistant. I honestly can't stand how everything in my house is crammed into this old, clunky desktop. Everyone I’ve asked has been throwing all kinds of mini PC suggestions at me. A few folks even said the most sustainable thing would be to just keep using my current beat-up machine. For context, it’s a 2012 Mac. I’ve also got a bunch of high-capacity cold storage drives (mostly for photo backups and media stuff). If possible, I’d like to be able to do some light gaming on it too. But here’s my concern: does running a mini PC 24/7 generate enough heat to mess with the longevity of HDDs or SSDs? Maybe I’m overthinking it, but I’m trying to find something compact that can kinda do it all and save space at the same time. I came across the Acemagic K1 Mini PC with the Ryzen 7 7730U, it looks solid for the price, seems pretty popular, and it's currently under $400. Would love to hear your thoughts or any advice.

I have a more serious use case for this, but for now I've just been testing it with a stock Amazon Blink camera, pointed at a bedside clock radio (with a box over the top of both to keep light out). And I'm able to "read" the time of day through both the seven segment analysis (the open source SSOCR library) and a little bit of template sensor work.

I'm not going to go into all the iterations here, suffice it to say it probably took at least 50+ tweaks to config.yaml to get it just right. But I found ChatGPT to be helpful along the way and probably made more progress than without it. But, it would also "hallucinate" some things that absolutely were not real - and I'd have to go double-check it - like imagining that the "-C" operator would remove both decimal points and colons (wrong, it only does the former).

If you have a readout you want to capture data from -- for example, I'm probably going to set this up on our chest freezer -- it's interesting to look at. But it absolutely does take a lot of futzing with it.

Original Title: I put together a full video on fully local AI voice capabilities / Home Assistant and I've ALSO open-sourced all my code relating to building short/long term memory modules + voice activated daisy chaining! :)

Hope this helps anyone who is looking at going fully local voice AI with HA!

It's pretty crazy that there's not 1 or 2 recommended tablets to buy. It seems there's really only 3 requirements..is at least 10 inches, is easily rootable so that fully kiosk can take full control, and is less than $200.

Firetablets are out the window as they can't be rooted. Samsung might lock down with Knox. Lenovo seems up in the air for root. Pixel tablet would be good if not for price.

Any ideas?

After manufacturing more than 600 units, I think this can be called DIY. We print the casing as needed, then merge the circuit boards together. Now we are upgrading the firmware to a new version, and they have become a bunch of attributes.

Regardless, it's still exciting to keep making them, and the extra profit allows us to explore new things, such as the formaldehyde sensor, dust particle sensor, and a USB Bluetooth gateway that plugs into an outlet that we've just manufactured.

We will continue to manufacture them in our spare time, DIYing them in this fun way.

For those interested, you can buy them from our independent store: https://store.screek.io/products/1ms

We have experience shipping worldwide (we seem to be turning into a sensor merchant :)) and have experience diy over 7,000 DIY sensors. We DIY them in our spare time and will likely continue to do so, creating new things.

After years of living in this house, and having three boys, I finally got around to installing a dishwasher. I was so proud, I pulled a cabinet out and shifted some others down to make room, got it plumbed and plugged it into the outlet under the sink, forgetting that it's only powered when the light switch is on for the garbage disposal; so, I put my garbage disposal on a zigbee smart plug. It's been working great, until two weeks ago, when the power went out overnight. The linemen must have had some difficulty getting power restored, it flashed on and off 5-6 times in the span of 10 seconds, which put all the zigbee plugs around the house into pairing mode. When they go into pairing mode, they power their load on and off a couple of times. I'd just got the kids to go back to bed, they were freaked out by the power outage, so the garbage disposal turning itself on and off a few times right as they were falling back asleep sealed my fate to be awake with them for most of the rest of the night.

So...don't be like me. I just wanted to share my story, I'm sure others will find it as humorous as I (now) do. And no, I still haven't run a dedicated circuit for the garbage disposal.

My kids never turn on the vent when they take a shower. The vent is already connected to home assistant but what’s missing is a humidity sensor or another solution to turn on the vent and leave it on after.

Anyone has any suggestions?

I have searched around endlessly but there is only ever mixed or deprecated info out there. The ZHA network graph recently underwent a rewrite and I feel it’s even less understandable.

There is no legend, we now have dotted and solid lines of varying thickness . Colors are only shades of blue and gray now instead of red yellow etc.

Does anyone have a link to an actual explanation of how to interpret the graph?

What Home Assistant automations or smart devices that integrate with Home Assistant should I invest in for my home? I code for a living so I’m not afraid of more complex automations.
