TEMP + HUM

It's very simple, it uses the following HACS:

Hey r/homeassistant,

I’ve been seeing one amazing posts here lately showcasing beautiful macOS menu bar integrations for HA. It genuinely inspired me, but as someone who daily-drives Fedora and GNOME, I felt a little left out!

I'm definitely not an expert, but I decided to try putting together something similar for my own setup. It's called GNOME Assistant, and it integrates your Home Assistant controls directly into the native GNOME Quick Settings drop-down menu.

It's a pretty simple project right now, but it handles the basics without needing to keep a browser tab open:

• Auto-discovers light, climate, and media_player entities.
• Groups everything cleanly by your HA areas.
• Lets you control brightness, target temperatures, and volume right from the desktop UI.
• If the menu gets too cluttered, you can just right-click to hide specific entities or areas.

It currently supports GNOME 45 through 49.

I mostly just built this to scratch my own itch, but I figured I'd share it here in case any other Linux users might find it useful. I’d be incredibly grateful for any feedback, bug reports, or advice from the community if you decide to give it a spin!

Here is the repo with the local installation instructions:https://github.com/tinchodin/gnomeassistant

DISCLAIMER: AI was used in this project (i'm a software developer with 15y of experience, but its my first time doing a gnome extension)

Thanks for all the constant inspiration you guys provide!

I could not find a minimalistic gauge with custom segments. So decided to create my own with extensive customization options. Image attached

A while back I started working on a custom weather card, and it ended up taking over my free time for the last few months. I'm finally at a point where it looks and runs the way I envisioned. I usually keep my side projects to myself, but this is my first real attempt at putting something out there for everyone to use.

The card features dynamic weather animations and lots of little details like moon phases, sunsets, birds, and shooting stars. You can use it in different modes and embed other HA cards inside it. I also built a small companion forecast card to go along with it.

My spouse and I built a chicken coop inside a highly modified 8 foot by 8 foot dog pen. To keep weasely predators out we made changes that necessitated using a latch that, if one is not careful, can relatch by itself and trap you inside the pen. I know this because it happened to my partner, who was trapped in there for 20 minutes. I put a safety on that, if used, would prevent it from happening again.

But it did happen again. This time to me, because I didn't use my safety. It was getting dark, and raining. At least it was a nice day when my partner got locked in.

So, I tried to call. No answer, as they had their phone on DND. Then I opened the Home Assistant app and started to mess with the lights. No reaction (they thought that I was working on it...again). Finally I cranked up Music Assistant and started playing the first ten seconds of "Help!" by the Beatles over and over. Finally they appeared in the window, laughing. After a short time I was released from my self induced conundrum.

You never know how the moment where you are truly grateful you put in the time to set up Home Assistant will manifest, or when. Mine was today, locked in a modified dog kennel, in the witness of chickens.

I cobbled together HA instance about 2 years ago. I have 156 devices, 615 entities. 42 "automations", 6 scenes, 3 scripts. Not a wildly crazy smart home setup but I would say quiet a few moving pieces.

65ish lutron switches, zigbee bulbs, z Wave thermostats, nest thermostat, nest doorbell, ubiquity cameras, few smart TVs, six Sonos outputs, alarm panel pro with 8 or so sensors, night light zigbee repeaters, motion sensors, konnected garage door openers, broadlink rf thing, wake on lan for desktops, pjlink for projector.

... I have not once in the two years of messing with home assistant had stuff just stop working. I get it's not a commercial vendor type install sort of product but it's been completely painless for me in terms of ongoing reliability. Sure, certain automations can take a minute to build and get working but once I got everything going, that's been it. No intervention has ever been required to fix randomly broken stuff. I do the updates the app tells me to do. Nothing ever breaks.

I'm sure I set off a cataclysmic set of events for my HA but I was just wondering, does everyone have these ongoing headaches of stuff not working? Is it my device types/brands that allow for such reliability? Or not as advanced automations? Anything else I'm missing?

Hi everyone,

I run an an architecture firm and we're designing and building a custom home for a client. Entirely built by contractors. We're at the stage where we were going to appoint a contractor for electrical work and domotics / home automation. These contractors work with KNX, Niko Home and some other locally produced systems that are widely available in our country. The exact ecosystem had yet to be decided upon.

All of the sudden the client wants to implement Home Assistant. Now we are only architects, not home automation experts. We only have a basic understanding of what the ecosystems above do and their pros and cons in regards to open or closed system, futureproofing,.. Just enough to manage a project and delegate to contractors what the client wants in terms of home automation.

The clients needs are rather simple: control of light schemes, control of solar screens and shutters, control of heating and ventilation and an energy management system to take control of home energy use. All of these seem to be easily done with systems above. But now the client is adamant on using HA. Mainly because: "its open source", "is able to make connections with practically anything", "its cheaper than other systems like Niko Home"

We were unfamiliar with HA and after some browsing I'm still not entirely sure what the benefit would be, but I seem to be under the impression that it's mainly aimed towards DIY and hobbyists. Now this is fine but strikes me as an odd choice for the client considering he's looking for a contractor to implement the system and is not tech savvy himself. In fact, he struggles with basic trouble shooting problems with a printer or his email. And its mainly a patience problem, hes 70+ and gives up easily. How do I know this? Besides being one of the architects on the project, ~~I'm also the client's father~~ (edit: the client is MY father - woops!)

Despite my initial reservations I asked 7 contractors in the area and they all had one of the following reactions:

• Never heard of it

• I've heard of it but I don't place it myself and don't know anyone that does

• I've heard of it but I don't see why you would use it

My fear is that we have a client that's over-educated about what is possible (watches lots of tech videos online, but is unable to do it himself), wants its because it is possible, but cant look past what would be actually useful for him.

Can anyone help me understand why HA would be beneficial to this particular client / project OR give me arguments why this would NOT be a good choice?

Much appreciated.

The main dashboard

My cat smart feeder and It's camera

My smart garden dashboard

Some automations quick enable/disable

Last week I started to witness constant reboot, strange behaviours and hecking slow loading times from my HA instance whenever I changed page, install new add-on... So I decided to let go my dear Raspberry Pi 4 (2gb) and buy a refurbished mini PC! Let me introduce you the Lenovo M710Q with Intel Core i5 7th gen, 16Gb of RAM and 256Gb of NVMe SSD bought for 80€.

Overkill you might say? Probably not since I decided to install Proxmox in order add my Home Assistant instance, some game servers, Plex and a seedbox!

I decided to wipe everything from my old HA and redo everything! I dicovered the lovely Bubble card add-on and It's Frosted Glass module combined with a slightly modified visionos theme!

At the moment I don't have as much smart devices as I want, but I'll upgrade my setup as soon as I'm moving to my new home!
