Hmm, looks like no one has set up a #HomeAssistant community day meetup in Hamburg yet? Bit of a shame - would love to attend, but can’t organize one myself.

Pro tip: home assistant setups work best when you document everything from day one. Future you will thank present you. #homeassistant
I built this alone, and one thing I still second-guess: is a 24 hour auto-expiry on unanswered incidents too long, too short, or about right? Genuinely unsure. This is OpenAlarm, which calls your people when your own alarm goes off. #BuildInPublic #IndieHackers #SaaS #HomeSecurity #HomeAssistant
Jeg har laget et Home Assistant-tillegg som kjører Newt (Pangolin-tunnelen) rett fra HA-grensesnittet. Over 50 stjerner på GitHub, så noen andre trengte det også 😄 Setter du opp Pangolin hjemme? Da kan det spare deg for litt Docker-styr. #homeassistant #selfhosting
I'ma try this one more time. Thanks for the initial response (lots of likes and boosts), but not quite enough confirmations of interest to book a meeting room. Let me know if you'd attend a #Portland meetup for #HomeAssistant on Nov 7.
Switched to #ZHA. Tried to pair a ZigBee device - UI didn't show any change. But the bulb did pair!
Now I guess I need to do that 30ish times unless anyone knows a way to mass migrate Hue bulbs?
After fiddling with virsh, #HomeAssistant can see the #ZigBee device.
But the Zigbee2MQTT app is having none of it. It will show the device but not connect to it.
Once again I'm scrabbling in old forum threads because no one can be bothered to write actual documentation.

Had a ~5m grid outage here... my #homeassistant automation correctly lit a red light when we went off grid and turned it off when it came back up as well as sending me a notice on my phone.
There was of course no other notice that it happened, the house ran on solar (which curtailed to that […]
Always nice when a new toy has the #HomeAssistant logo on it 😄
I'm hoping this will replace my Hue Hub and let me get some more #ZigBee gadgets.
Home Assistant + Zigbee2MQTT = the combo that just works. No vendor lock-in, no cloud dependency. #homeassistant #smarthome
Got a #ZBT2 to use with #homeassistant , and it's really... weird, at least when running in a container.
HA detects the device, but seems hard coded to always update the firmware (even if that's a downgrade!), and also hard coded to use /dev/ttyACM1? This can't be real.
After adjusting the […]
The best hardware for Home Assistant was already in my closet.
2012 HP laptop, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, HAOS bare metal. No VM complexity, battery acts as UPS, silent 24/7.

An alarm URL without its key can't fire anything. OpenAlarm keeps the key in a header, never in the URL, so a scanned, logged or prefetched link is inert. Your alarm stays yours to trip. docs.openalarm.io/guides/authentication/ #HomeLab #SelfHosted #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #API #HomeAssistant

Man, the #HomeAssistant community has some hostile vibes. 🫤
That's the maintainer of home assistant for ArchLinux's User Repository talking, after I pointed out that he's wrong. Not sure how involved Daniel Albers is in the community, but I hope this is not a reflection of the rest of the community
Home assistant, beste 😎👍🏻
