I’ve had this iseebell video doorbell for a few years and a year or so ago their web site disappeared as well as the app from the mobile stores. I still have the app on my phone and it does still work but, since the company seems now be defunct I expect that the app will cease working soon. I’m not thrilled that there is...

Learned my lesson after a trip last week... I have sensors for nearly everything, but somehow totally forgot about the Fridge / Freezer....

I've been following the project for a year now and Clemens Elflein has actually managed to get the topic off the ground professionally. Recently, his kit is available, with which you can upgrade a cheap Yardforce robotic mower to GPS support. This eliminates the need to lay boundary wires....

I made a quick template sensor to pull in data from AirNow. After, I then found out about the post at https://lemmy.world/post/730349, but I thought it might still be useful to share for a quick glance....

Hi all,...

Hi all,...

Hello! I'm eyeballing an Ecowitt weather station and would like your suggestions as to what to do with it. Are there automations you do with it? Just displaying a weather dashboard? Mostly using it for the inside temp/humidity sensors?...

Wondering if this is possible. A quick look through the automations and scenes didn’t pop anything out for me, but it would be nice to know when to open and close my windows throughout the summer based on actual local temp now that I’ve got a couple of the Aqara sensors outside....

I have 2 windows/doors in my living room which have 3 roller blinds each (6 in total) that I'm in the process of automating. I have purchased and installed 1 Zigbee motor that goes inside the tube that can lift 4kg using 0.8nm of torque, this is working well and I want to buy the rest. A couple of the blinds are longer and I am...

I'm getting tired of having to download an app just to set up a device. Ive been trying to get only ZigBee devices since most are plug-and-play but theres still some that require the whole app and registration dance....

Hey all!...

Arguably, I find automations make a smart home truly smart rather than perks like voice control do....

Hi! I'm new to home assistant and I'm wondering what would be worth the cost. A lot of the "smart" appliances seem overly expensive and automating them would only save me a handful of minutes each day....

I'd like to get an outdoor Temperature Sensor that can be used with HA and Google Home. Anyone have any recommendations?

Given that the air quality is going to shit in m y area again, I figured I'd show off my air quality cards! Let me know if you have any questions. The colors for the AQI cards are from US EPA's color set and the the PM2.5 color values are based off EPA's PM2.5 exposure over 24 hours...

I am looking for a setup that does not need to phone home to the vendors servers. Is the Philips Hue Bridge a good hub? Can you work with most of the Philips Hue stuff without phoning home?

I’m planning to put HA on a pi, with a usb antenna...

Ideally what im looking for is something like a nest hub but without any built in assistant. I was thinking about buying a cheap tablet and keeping it on a dock or making something custom with a raspi but im curious if anyone has found an off the shelf alternative?

For a couple of years now I’ve been trying to make peace with the scene editor and scenes in general. I’m about to spend hours switching to either automations or back to appdaemon scripts and wanted to see if maybe I just don’t understand the model and there's a better way to use it....

I figured we could all share some of the cooler things we've done to get the conversation moving in here....

Hi,...

I'm getting close to my 4gb RPI 4b's mem limit ~80% and would like to migrate from it to a low power SFF thin client. What are some good options?
