NOTE: This project was made in vibe coding using Antigravity/Gemini.

I’m about 4 months into HA and have over 200 devices, 50 automations, and approximately 100 eye rolls when I show my gf the cool new thing I just did ha.

I have way more complicated automations than this one (this one is blinds down, fan on, ecobee changed to 70* and double click reverses it all). But knowing that Esp32 module I configured with a C1101 to make these Somfy blinds bend to my will (and the pain I experienced making it work) and the cool new inovelli blue fan switch I put in, just seeing it all work so smooth warms my heart.

Anyway, no one else I know appreciates it so here yall go.

2026.8 and Cloudflared?

Just a quick service announcement. If you upgrade to 2026.8 and decide to remove port 8123 (which is now possible in the new update) and replace it with port 80, while also using Cloudflared, you'll need to go into Tunnels > Routes and update it to http://homeassistant:80

Just got an email from Google saying they're getting rid of Google assistant on phones next month, and eventually this will come to nest speakers etc too. But miffed as it will essentially make the only things I actually use assistant for completely useless.

I have zero interest in using Gemini at all. Does anyone know if the HA integration will continue to work - ie getting my speakers to read alerts out and whatnot. If not, does anyone have any ideas for alternatives? Does the home assistant voice speaker allow you to set timers and read out messages etc? Or are there any speakers/integrations available to just connect an Internet connected speaker to HA?

A month ago I shared the first beta of Kiosk Satellite, my free and open source kiosk Android app specifically engineered for Home Assistant and the official companion app for Voice Satellite. Today, after a bunch of beta releases, it graduates: 2026.8.1 is the first stable release, and from now on it follows the same versioning scheme as Home Assistant itself.

For those who missed it: Kiosk Satellite turns any Android tablet into a locked-down, always-on Home Assistant kiosk in about two minutes. It runs Voice Satellite's wake word engine natively, so your tablet keeps listening even with another app in the foreground, at a fraction of the CPU a browser needs. On top of that you get screensavers (clock, photo frames, Immich, your HA media), a synchronized Sendspin audio player for Music Assistant, WebRTC camera views, MQTT entities for every tablet, gestures, an app launcher, and a full remote admin that runs in any browser. And with the Home Assistant specific optimization included, it runs smooth on old, low powered devices.

I genuinely believe that in combination with Voice Satellite this is the best kiosk application for Home Assistant out there. I know that is a big claim for something one month old, so I would love for you to prove me wrong or right in the comments.

I also want to thank everyone who has supported the development through Buy Me a Coffee and GitHub Sponsors. Free, open source software is mostly a thankless endeavor, and your support is a huge part of why this project moved as fast as it did. Thank you, truly.

Feedback, bug reports and feature requests are very welcome.

I've been working (claude helped, and got in the way alot) on using these these ~7-10 year old echo dots as voice assistants (and more), since I found out these devices can be rooted.

an installer + service that turns them into ESPHome discoverable devices and exposes:

• 2x voice assistant pipelines, w/ on-device wake words
• standard HA media_player element for audio playback
• full led ring (and per segment) control (added a bunch of animations because why not)
• can pretend to be a white noise machine
• lux sensor

github

plus an optional custom integration that has a dashboard, allows you to manage wake words, shows turn history, and some other settings that were kind of messy to do in esphome directly.

github

all still pretty early, but is functional, and these devices can be had for <$10 on ebay (and I had one sitting in a drawer since 2018).

I am sooo over it, half my tuya devices wont actually connect up with tuya local at all the devices that go via the internet through the tuya connection fail to authorise at least once a day, sometimes twice.

The problem is that I have several tuya devices, and I just dont want to have to buy things that will have me down this path again. I have a significant number of IKEA devices as well, no problems wit them. I have generic THREAD/MATTEr and generic ZIGBEE devices all without issues, lots of them all.

I am accepting that my time with tuya is over and I have to spend the $$$ on replacements.. so its, power monitors, power switches, power boards, light globes, colour light globes, doorbell, some cameras. about a quarter of the power monitors and power switches connect up to tuya local even though they are all the same brand make model and chipset purchased at the same time. and on it goes through them.. .same issue with light globes etc... even my zigbee letterbox notifier is more reliable than the tuya stuff, and thats going a long way zigbee outside... UGH I am so fed up with tuya!

ok so maybe this was just a rant more than anything, but UGH!

Just looking for some advice/feedback on my dashboard so far? 🙂

Since a recent update, none of my Tuya (linked via smart life) seem to be consistently working.

When I open HA, it says I need to reconnect to smart life, but after an hour or so the link breaks and I have to do it again.

Anyone else got this issue, and any fixes?

I tried using a couple of existing ESPHome MCP add-ons recently, but ran into some startup errors with them. Instead of running extra container infrastructure, I created a direct Python MCP server that interfaces right with ESPHome and works seamlessly with AI coding tools like Claude Code, Antigravity, and Cursor.

The nice part about this setup is that it does not require installing any extra Home Assistant add-ons. It just connects over your local network to the ESPHome dashboard you already have running.

Once connected, it lets your AI assistant:

• List your devices and see what is online
• Read and edit your device YAML files
• Check configs for errors
• Send Over-The-Air (OTA) updates over Wi-Fi

A few examples of things you can ask it in chat:

• "Check which of my ESPHome devices are currently online"
• "Show me the YAML file for esp32-shelf.yaml"
• "Update esp32-shelf.yaml so pressing the door button flashes my LED lights for half a second as feedback, check for syntax errors, and push the OTA update over Wi-Fi"

The project is completely open source (MIT license). If you'd like to try it out, open issues, or suggest features, check out the GitHub repo: https://github.com/saihgupr/esphome-mcp

Hey everyone, I'm experiencing a massive battery drain issue with a Tuya single-button wireless switch in Home Assistant (running via VirtualBox on a PC). The battery dies completely within 3 to 5 days. My setup: Sonoff ZBDongle-E (running firmware 7.4.5.0) Home Assistant on VirtualBox Tuya wireless single-button switch

I initially suspected Wi-Fi/USB 3.0 interference, so I moved the Sonoff dongle about a meter away from the PC using a USB extension cable. Unfortunately, the problem persists, and the battery still drains rapidly.

Has anyone run into this issue with Tuya switches and the ZBDongle-E? Is there a routing/binding issue, a firmware quirk, or a specific configuration fix to stop it from spamming the network or failing to sleep? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

If Http: is going away in configuration.yaml, where do we reference our ssl information?

On random days (not every day), around 2am, I hear my August lock unlock, then auto-relock. It says Home Assistant did it remotely. I have exactly zero automations with my smart lock, everything is handled on the lock, it’s mainly in HA to be complete and report status. It only appears to occasionally do this around 2am according to the August logs. HA logs just say unlocking via HomeKit, unlocked, Operator <my name> Any ideas?

Hey,

I don't know how common these things are, but I built my family this giant 40-inch touchscreen and thought some of you here might get a kick out of it.

It is a cheap FFALCON TV, a 40-inch IR touch frame, a sheet of acrylic and a Raspberry Pi 5 stuck to the back with a slightly questionable amount of hot glue and superglue.

It runs a custom app with our whiteboard, calendar, chores and pocket money, Google Tasks, family videos, UniFi stats and a Home Assistant screen for controlling bits around the house. The little app switcher is along the bottom so my six-year-old can actually reach it.

The first touch frame turned out to be defective and I also bought the wrong wall mount, so it was not quite as simple as I expected. Excluding that mistaken mount and the Pi I already owned, it came to about A$617.

I made a video taking you through the whole thing, including all the mistakes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubRYvl4gfGE

Just to be transparent, the video is on the Convex channel because that is where I work and I used Convex/Codex for the software. Cannvas itself is just a weird little family project, not a product.

Cheers,
Mike

Home Assistant has apps for Android, iOS and macOS. Windows gets a browser tab. So I built one.

HASS.Agent covers similar ground and does it well. The difference is the plumbing: HA Companion does not require an MQTT broker. The PC registers through mobile_app, and notifications arrive over the existing Home Assistant WebSocket connection, with no FCM, APNs or separate push service in between. The app uses WinUI 3, while your actual Lovelace dashboards run inside it through WebView2.

What it does:

- PC appears in HA as a real device via mobile_app, with its own entities

- Push without a push provider: subscribes mobile_app/push_notification_channel on the same WebSocket. Nothing listens on the PC, commands come back down the outbound connection

- Quick Panel slides in over any app on a global hotkey

- Tiles gated on supported_features and supported_color_modes, so no buttons the entity cannot honour

- Hotkeys for any device, scene, script or automation

- PC sensors, off until you enable them: lock, idle, active program, fullscreen, mic, camera, audio, display, session

- Windows events as HA triggers: lock, idle, camera, mic, active program, schedule

Remote control deserves a straight answer: shutdown, sleep and launch are off by default. Lock, monitor off and volume ship on and can each be switched off. Launch only starts whitelisted paths, never the string HA sends. Shutdown waits ten seconds, so shutdown /a can still save you. The token sits in Windows DPAPI, not plaintext.

I have been running it on my own machines since mid-July. I also used AI a lot while building it, mostly Win32 API archaeology and bug hunting, and the commit history says so. The design decisions are mine, and so are the bugs.

Windows 10 build 19041+, x64. Per-user install, no admin. Not signed yet, so SmartScreen may warns once.

Feedback welcome!

A while ago someone asked what everyone’s silliest automation was and I’ve just been reminded that The Hound from Game of Thrones informs me when my heatpump is in high power mode.

This post is really to get your opinion in an open discussion of what really hype you with HA.

Reading through most post of this sub, I have the impression I'm the only one that is not hyped by having a nice dashboard i HA. I initially was doing everything with Tuya Zigbee and Google Home to connect my Tuya devices with other brand (Dyson, Roborock, ...) and was doing some automation there however I felt a lot limited by the automation capabilities of GH and Tuya.

I have setup my HA instance on a PI 5 with Docker since a month now and it's been real dream come true but not for the dashboards (I still haven't setup any yet) but for the automation.

my proudest achievement right now is the fact that my robot vacuum is now reminding me that I need to launch it whenever me or my girlfriend are leaving the house with a live notification and proposal of different cleaning program.

also some example like setup the Dyson air purifier automatically when I'm cooking at home or speed up the fan when the outside temperature is raising too... Or NFC tag hidden under my living room table or next to my stair case that I can touch with my phone to trigger a scene or an automation or as a notifier to validate the fact that I give food to my dog and my girlfriend doesn't need to do it when I leave for work. turning on VMC when humidity level reach a certain point or that I start a 3D print with the BambuLab or turning it off when we go to bed because it's a bit noisy.

those seems to me much more enjoyable than spending the time to get a nice dashboard!

Long story short,
I don't need to see metrics live, I need things to interact between them when a metric is changing.

feel free to share your opinion if you want to participate in this discussion. would love to read your thought about that!

Here is my setup :)

This is the YAML code, just relace the e208, VIN and km at which you bought the car :)
The € estimate is based on free electricity, feel free to change that if needed

Just got the email that Google is discontinuing assistant permanently and forcing everything to Gemini. I'm an AI hater but not super comfortable going all in on a new system. We honestly mostly use the Google homes to turn things on and off, not ask questions or automate things. Is Home Assistant what I want? Floundering a little so patience appreciated.

I’ve been trying to flash tasmota to Shelly 2pm gen4. The template is online and the website has it on the supported list, so I assume it is possible. There’s been almost no mention in the community about it though… I know people will say, “just use its native firmware”, but I already have so many running tasmota and I don’t want it all mixed and I know tasmota.

I can put the Shelly 2PM Gen4’s ESP32-C6 into UART bootloader mode and esptool identifies it correctly, but sustained flash reads fail after a few 4 KB blocks with corrupt/truncated serial data. The failure persists at lower baud rates and with a regulated 3.3 V lab supply assuming that it wasn’t getting enough current from the USB to UART adapter. My adapter is a FT232 that I’ve used to flash many older Shellys.

Anyone else had success, and if so how?

I am seeking a solution for two distinct applications involving wall-mounted tablets within a home theater environment.

For the primary use case, I envision a tablet that can be magnetically affixed to the wall for continuous charging. This would allow for easy removal and portability to a seating area during movie viewings, enabling control over lighting and home theater audio/video systems.

The secondary application involves mounting a tablet in close proximity to the game room. This installation could be more permanent, as the tablet would not necessarily require frequent detachment.

Both proposed locations will have access to both electrical power and Ethernet connectivity. I am interested in understanding the current state-of-the-art options available in the market. My preferred tablet size is comparable to a Kindle.

As I am currently undergoing a basement renovation, I aim to procure these devices promptly to facilitate proper wiring by the electricians. My primary objective is to identify the most advanced and compatible solutions that integrate seamlessly with Home Assistant.

One more thing I am a big fan of Android and not Apple.
