We’re sensing a change in the air as we welcome Sensereo to the Works with Home Assistant program πŸŽ‰. Specialists in environmental sensing, Sensereo bring Matter smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms into the Home Assistant ecosystem – meaning more ways to keep your home open, safe, and sound. πŸ”—πŸ§΅

An image taken from the Open Graph image of the linked blog post. The image is of a Sensereo Smoke Detector on a white ceiling, viewed from a low angle. The Sensereo Smoke Detector is a square shape with highly rounded corners. It is about one third tall as it is wide. The sides have holes for air ventilation, and the side that faces the floor features a Sensereo logo, and a red warning light. 

Overlaid on the image is the text "Sensereo joins the works with Home Assistant Program". Above this text is the Open Home Foundation logo. At the bottom of the image is the "Works with Home Assistant" verification badge.

Happy #EarthDay! 🌎🌍🌏

Community members around the world use Home Assistant to manage energy consumption in their homes – some use our built-in energy dashboard while others build their own custom dashboard.

How do you use Home Assistant to be more sustainable? Share your projects πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

#SmartHome

A screenshot of the Home Assistant energy dashboard in light mode from our demo website - the background is a capture of the dashboard zoomed in with transparent Home Assistant logos behind it, and in the center of the image is a border around a cropped version of the dashboard to make it look like a tablet. The background has various tiles slightly cropped out of view; the tablet view displays the Home Assistant user interface for the energy dashboard with Summary, Electricity, Gas, Water, and Now options at the top of the dashboard and the tiles for Energy Distribution and Sources clearly visible - the bottom of the tablet view has cropped tiles for Power Sources and Energy usage. Above the tablet aligned center top is the Home Assistant name and logo, and under the tablet on a green pill with black text reads ENERGY DASHBOARD.
