Im trying to create an event log Card that will show important events during absence, like shown in the attached screenshot....

As the title says, I currently don’t have a reliable method to connect to my home network due to pivpn having issues. In the mean time my phone trys to synced sensors constantly and is one of the power sinks. Is there a way to turn off sync when I am not connected to wifi or even better when I’m not at home?

I’ve been going through my system logs and working on resolving the miscellaneous errors; mostly it’s just due to poorly-written automations where the automation would be called while it was still running. Easy fix....

Before the pandemic there were a few homeassistant/smart home YouTubers on the floor of CES every day putting videos out about the new devices they saw throughout the day. I haven’t seen any of them doing that since the pandemic....

I like that this is short and concise.

Everything was working okay, but suddenly I’m getting a bunch of errors from my thermostat and I’m unable to set temperature or anything...

For those of you in the UK, IKEA currently has a steep discount on their GU10 bulbs. I’ve just picked up several dimmable, colour temperature controlled bulbs for £5 each....

I installed the Auto Backup HACS integration and I have a network storage configured in Home Assistant (FYI, I’m running HAOS). If I use HA’s Developer Tools and manually call the “Auto Backup: Backup Full” service, there is a “Location” field where I can select my network storage. The backup successfully completes...

There’s this picture on the home assistant front page with an epic top bar. How would one enable such a thing?

Does anyone know if it’s possible to rewind the video feed, that the Homekit integration provides, from a Apple device?...

Any recommendations for a ZigBee RGB Lightbulb w/o 3rd party app - at least not a closed source app....

Hey all,...

Does anyone know if there are examples like this. I want to get a notification system in HA. It needs to be able to send the right notification at the right time on the right device....

These things aren’t bad, I’ve got a few that I use sort of successfully, but the speaker and mic aren’t very powerful. I was thinking of building one with an ESP32 and i2S (not i2c, that threw me off too) speaker/mic, but I’m wondering if I’d be reinventing the wheel here if there’s a better alternative already out...

I currently have a ring doorbell that I pay a yearly fee for but I want to get away from Amazon and a subscription fee. I would prefer if it used the Wi-Fi and it was able to connect with my house doorbell. Edit: I’d also like to add that I would like it to have the ability to stream and record video.

After updating HA last week, I lost access to it. I thought it was the external access, but seems the internal service is having issues....

I’m currently running HA on a Pi3… it works fine, but it’s now a single point of failure....

I run HA in Docker and I have set up Mosquito MQTT and Zigbee2mqtt in other containers....

I used to have a Hive Home ecosystem until one fateful day where they limited my heating to 15 degrees and tried to freeze me to death unless I bought their newest thermostat and paid for their subscription. I ended up saying fuck the extorting bastards and bought a cheap Zigbee Thermostat to get me through the winter. It’s...
