Hortus Botanicus in Amsterdam, a botanical garden founded in 1638, is fully run by Home Assistant to create a local system fully under their control 👌💐 vooijs.eu/posts/why-is...

Today my 8 year old took one of the dev screens I had laying around and used AI to make a score board for today's game. It's controlled by touch, with the cheering people getting happier the more NL won. Dev boards are now the ultimate building blocks for your imagination. Anyone can do this!

I was right there with you! Sadly a tie. Better luck next game !

@reckless.bsky.social the sizing guide values for CM and inches don't match for the new merch. Each value from CM converted to inches differs like 0.2-0.3" from the reported inch values. Which one is the right one?

This is me at State of the Open Home last year and this year. After years of struggling with my weight, Zepbound (GLP-1) helped me take control and lose 30kg in 7 months. I feel better and have more energy than I had in years. If you're struggling with weight and can afford it, I highly recommend it

WebSerial has landed in Firefox Nightly !! 🎉 Enable it in about:config and it all just works as expected. Took a brand new ESP32 and had a new Bluetooth proxy added to Home Assistant within 2 minutes 👌

It's not too late to pick up one the last tickets and come hang out with me and the team this Wednesday in Utrecht! events.openhomefoundation.org/sotoh26/

I switched to Android last year and I've been having a blast. Really allows me to make it mine - and that means a phone not set up to distract me.

If you want to impress friends and family this Christmas, host a Sendspin party! More info at github.com/sendspin/sen... Or quickly start a party from the command line uvx sendspin serve retro.dancewave.online/retrodance.mp3

Your Home Assistant Voice PE just got better! Update to the latest firmware to receive Sendspin support. Multi-room audio, perfectly in sync, streamed from Music Assistant. Update rolling out and made available in Home Assistant within next few hours.

Big update to my dashboard screenshot add-on Puppet. Version 2.0 now includes a UI to easily generate a screenshot URL, including live data from Home Assistant. github.com/balloob/home...

Got Cory's new book. It is excellent 👌

12 years working on Home Assistant. I still debug my tests like this 😅

I've been a supporter of the Python Software Foundation for years and always make sure to vote in elections. It's important that your favorite open source projects are sustained. Support from independents is always better than relying on corporations with the inevitable strings attached.

Phone app on Pixel making sure I never have to talk to a human again 👌

And once you have an image, we were able to use Google Veo 3 to turn it into a video 🤯

This new model is able to keep object consistency, allowing you to explore a lot of different use cases. I first had it remove the background, and then continued to use that image as input for further requests.

My brother is an artist and is working on a new project called DreamFeed, headlining Gogbot in Enschede next month. It works by requiring people watching a social media feed to work out to swipe to see more content. I had early access to Gemini 2.5 Flash Image and decided to have some fun.

Home Assistant allows you to experience the future today. Take this accomplishment from /u/Monokside on Reddit: dashboard showing real-time shower stats, announcement when target temperature reached and a summary at the end. Excellent, no notes 👌 www.reddit.com/r/homeassist...

Visited Bluetooth today 😎 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harald_...

I just looked at Zen Browser again as a replacement for Arc and it has come a long way! It is great. Open source, powered by Firefox, and most important of all: maintained by an active community ❤️ zen-browser.app

Asked my son to integrate Home Assistant into his vibe coding. Now his pong game bounces around the logo and every bounce changes the light 🤩

Great interview with Signal boss @meredithmeredith.bsky.social in the Volkskrant today. Netherlands in top 5 countries Signal users and grown x25 since January, wow!

Yay, @home-assistant.io is verified 🎉

It's wild how AI has accelerated how I work. Integrations in Home Assistant can be similar, but none are ever exactly the same. With Claude I point it at a change for one integration and tell it to apply it to another integration and it succeeds 🤯 I did that 5x today and saved days of work.

Home Assistant having an extremely flexible dashboard engine allows our community to quickly test any new design that pops up. /u/Pivotonian on Reddit did that with Liquid Glass style from Apple. He shared the YAML, anyone can try it. Now that's the power of open! 💪 www.reddit.com/r/homeassist...
