Following a recent incident where a child left a freezer open and we lost a lot of food .. I know have been told to add the freezers to Home Assistant...

I can either replace the freezers with smart ones or I can get an iot device to monitor temperature and report to HA. I've been authorised to spend up to £100 to monitor 2 freezers and a fridge.

What device is recommended...

I'm ok with Tuya but would prefer local control. Have an aqara and dirigera hub already if they help.

I’ve released FindMy Fleet, a Home Assistant custom integration for Apple Find My / AirTag cloud reports.

It exposes each Find My item as a device_tracker, with diagnostics for report age, freshness, polling, account health, source quality, and Apple report availability. It also includes Force Refresh and Sprint controls.

Repo: https://github.com/luisreg81a/findmy-fleet

It’s installable as a HACS custom repository very soon, and it’s currently submitted for HACS default inclusion.

Useful if you want AirTag / Find My data inside HA as an evidence source for automations, dashboards, or fusion with BLE, sensors, cameras, or other trackers.

If it helps your setup, there’s also a Ko-fi link in the repo for supporting maintenance :-)

I’ve been working on a read-only MCP server for Home Assistant: HA-MCP-Readonly. The idea is simple: give AI assistants much better visibility into a HA instance without giving them write access. It can inspect entities, automations, scripts, devices, areas, logs, config files, diagnostics, Lovelace dashboards, blueprints, registries, and a lot more. I built it mostly because generic coding agents tend to get lost very quickly in real Home Assistant setups, especially when YAML, storage registries, automations, templates, and entity relationships all interact with each other.

A big focus is deep debugging and token efficiency. Instead of asking an agent to read huge raw files or manually search through everything one step at a time, the server exposes higher-level tools that return processed output: grouped states, automation diagnostics, log insights, unavailable entities, area diagnostics, batch entity searches, batch YAML validation, automation conflict detection, and similar summaries. It also includes graph-based methods for finding references, dependencies, consumers, neighbors, impact, ghost references, and orphaned entities. Since I couldn’t find a tool that really understands Home Assistant dependency relationships, this graph layer helps agents keep track of how things are connected instead of guessing from scattered files.

There is also a static context generator, which I personally use at the start of a conversation to give an agent a snapshot of my whole HA instance. It can generate a Markdown context file with entity inventory, automations, dashboards, devices, logs, config health, blueprint usage, template references, and more. This is useful even if you don’t use an MCP-capable agent at all: you can paste or upload the generated context into something like ChatGPT Projects, Claude Projects, Qwen, or a RAG setup and work with your Home Assistant configuration for free, without exposing your live instance.

I sat down to make a beginner‑friendly video on Home Assistant automations — just the basics: scripts vs automations, triggers, conditions, delays, repeats… the usual stuff.

And then I turned on the new purpose‑specific triggers in Labs and suddenly the whole video changed direction.

Honestly, this is the first time automations have felt natural.

Instead of digging through entities, it literally just says things like:

• Door opened

• Door closed

• Door left open for X time

And my brain went: “Yes. That. That’s exactly what I meant.”

It’s such a small feature but it makes automations feel like they finally match real‑world logic.

Curious what everyone else thinks — are you using the purpose‑specific triggers yet?

Do they make automations easier for you too?

(If anyone wants the walkthrough I recorded, I’m happy to share — but mostly I just want to hear how others are using these.)

Small update on the Costco OmniBreeze Wi-Fi tower fan project.

My first version was a Docker bridge that that exposed a local REST API for Home Assistant. It worked, but setup still needed Docker, REST sensors, template fans, and YAML.

I ended up turning it into a native Home Assistant / HACS custom integration.

Now it creates real Home Assistant entities directly:

• fan entities
• temperature sensors
• sound/beep switches
• battery/signal sensors when available
• automatic fan discovery
• UI setup through Devices & services

HACS repo:

https://github.com/abdoomaster/OmniBreeze-HomeAssistant

Original Docker dashboard / REST bridge:

https://github.com/abdoomaster/OmniBreeze-fan-dashboard

It still uses the Landbook / NetPrisma cloud, so it is not fully local. But the Home Assistant setup is much cleaner now and does not require the Docker bridge if you only want HA integration.

Still unofficial and could break if the vendor changes the API, but it is working with my three fans right now.

I've been using HA for a long while and I keep adding a ton of devices and repeaters. After a while I notice some lag and long delays for turning on light and simple switches. The other day I was re-configuring a couple stand alone routers (SLZB-06) and for some reason they were not even on the same channel as my coordinator. Once I changed everything to the same channel my system is back to being super snappy again. Took far too long to realize this.

Serious. Some have HUGE screens. My in-laws have one with a 17" screen. The Facebook/Meta portals have the ability to run a "kiosk" mode natively. After this unlock, we've been unlocking more things and sideloading android apps. It's got voice capabilities that we're unlocking. It may be time to go buy one! Go check out r/FacebookPortal!

I have a smarthome setup, but struggle to find something that is genuinely game changing and want inspiration.

Is there any custom workflow or metric people find particularly game changing? Want some inspiration for building my setup out.
