Surprised there's still no Assist (Voice) support in Android Auto for @home-assistant.io . Am I missing something? Would be the last piece to replace everything with Assist. #homeAssistant #smartHome

It feels like a chicken-egg problem of some kind (matter vs ZigBee vs z-wave). Matter's scope is huge which is hard to establish in the market especially when non of the vendors have full control from their business perspective. Only time will tell 😁

That looks promising 😃.

At least it works 😁. Will be interesting if one of the oven vendors will make a local API as well in the future.

Is Home Connect cloud based or local?

Use aqara sensors for years with HA. Never had a real issue.

Still amazed how Italian coffee manages to be both excellent and cheaper than in most of Europe - especially places like Austria. Quality and value in one tiny cup 🇮🇹☕️ #italy #italian #coffee

On holiday I'm really missing my home automation setup. I've gotten so used to lights turning on automatically that using switches again feels strangely old-school 🙈. #homeassistant #smarthome #homeautomation

Thinking this could be a neat HACS integration 🤔 Home Assistant makes it super easy to track the market and see what companies are up to - and best of all, it's automatable 😄 #homeAssistant

That a good idea. Need to find some time to checkout the existing repo.

Inspired by @frenck.social’s work on the Home Assistant Config Helper extension, I’ve started building a full Home Assistant integration for VSCode 🏡. A new extension is on the way - expect a release in the next couple of weeks! 🚀 #homeAssistant #vscode

Hm, do people still buy books for software engineering topics? Would be interesting to know why. I guess: * I always did that in the past * If it is a completely new topic * I wanna own the knowledge aka the book * I like that way I can read a book But beside that? 🤔

Setting up @home-assistant.io Voice PE the mobile way is easy, but I'm genuinely impressed by how seamless it is to flash it over the wire. I think this might be my new go-to setup method. esphome.github.io/home-assista...

It would be a great feature to allow adding a birthday to a person in @home-assistant.io, so that it can be used with Assist or for automations like reminders or celebrations.

Exciting update coming to @home-assistant.io. If you use templates in your automations or scripts, YAML will now fall back per field - no longer the entire block. Huge improvement 🚀. #homeAssistant

Working on making @home-assistant.io significantly smarter. I'm not affiliated with the Home Assistant team, but it's been an exciting challenge bridging two different worlds. The initial proof of concept is promising - and the future looks even more promising. #future
