The most sustainable device is the one you already own. 🌍

That's why our recent releases of Home Assistant and ESPHome help you bridge the gap between your smart devices and older, offline protocols.

Hi everyone,

I was tired of constantly forgetting to buy milk and then suddenly discovering that we had completely run out.

So I decided it was time to solve this with Home Assistant. I bought the necessary components and, with the help of Claude Code, vibe-coded the firmware for the controllers, as well as a Home Assistant dashboard.

The scales broadcast BLE messages with the current weight once every two hours. The rest of the time, the controller is asleep, so I’m hoping the battery will not need charging very often in this mode.

I have a couple of questions.

First: what would be the best way to automate ordering milk from an online grocery store? I’m based in London, and I was very surprised to find that none of the major supermarkets seem to provide an API for this kind of use case.

Second: what kind of load cells would you recommend for making the scales flatter? I’m now thinking about building similar scales for bread, eggs, and other basic groceries that regularly run out and are almost always needed.

But I would really like a flatter design, so the scales do not take up too much space in the fridge.

Just received this email from Spotify. I guess this will affect the Music Assistant integration and others as well. Not a huge problem but it will probably be the reason the integration stops working the next time 😄

"""""""

Hi,

Further to the updates posted on our Developer Blog on June 18, 2026, we're writing to let you know that, starting July 20, 2026, refresh tokens issued by your Spotify app will expire after six months.

This change applies to all apps registered on Spotify for Developers, including yours.

What this means for your app: Once a refresh token expires, attempts to use it to obtain a new access token will return an invalid_grant error. Your app must handle this case by discarding the stored token and sending the user through the sign-in flow again to obtain a new one.

What you need to do:

Handle invalid_grant errors: Make sure your app handles invalid_grant errors on token refresh by redirecting users to sign in again.

Discard expired tokens: Do not retry a failed refresh — discard the stored token first.

Test your reauthorization flow: Test your app's reauthorization flow before July 20, 2026 to avoid disruption for your users.

Note: This change does not affect Client Credentials flows. Only tokens issued on behalf of a user are impacted.This change does not affect Client Credentials flows. Only tokens issued on behalf of a user are impacted.

My son recently told me he needed a physical timer to keep track of his screen time and homework. Any normal parent would have gone to Amazon, spent five bucks on a cheap plastic kitchen timer, and called it a day.

But I have an active Home Assistant setup and zero impulse control when it comes to tinkering.

So instead of a plastic egg timer, he ended up with a round, glowing ESP32 touchscreen puck running ESPHome. And because I completely lose all self-control once a project gets fun, the timer part quickly became the least interesting thing about it.

Before I knew it, I was adding a wake word so he could just say "Alexa, set a timer," followed by a weather display, a music controller, and even a couple of actual arcade games (because I apparently had way too much coffee that weekend). The original timer he asked for is basically just one of the modes now.

It was total overkill. I spent way too many hours squinting at my monitor trying to align custom UI elements on a tiny round screen just to count down ten minutes. But it was a ton of fun to build and I would absolutely do it again.

It is still very much a work in progress, but if you want to check out my messy configuration or build something similar, I'm hosting the code on GitHub.

Here is the device I used: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005011771382178.html

And here is my WIP repo: https://github.com/MichalZaniewicz/esphome-guition-jc3636k718c-va/

Hi everyone - I'm one of the co-founders of Selora and we just released an open source, local model trained specifically for HA.

Selora AI Local is an open-source, Qwen-based model for Home Assistant. We chose a Qwen-based architecture because of this paper on Arxiv which applied a Qwen based model for local LLM configuration, and showed promising results. We took it a step further in application by training LoRA adapters specialized in Home Assistant configuration.

Existing options for local LLMs in Home Assistant are limited based on context of knowledge, or are not fully local, requiring an API key. We believe there is a need for an open-source model that’s small, private, specialized in HA, to run on efficient hardware for users to run in their home.

This release ships our model with four specialist LoRA adapters preloaded for faster response: answers, clarifications, automations, and commands. The Q6 quantized base model is 1.6GB and the adapters are less than 100MB running either on self-hosted llama.cpp, or on Selora Hub devices, where everything is preconfigured and plug-and-play for you.

We’re here to answer any questions and would love any feedback you can provide as we want to make improvements and updates based on the community.

I setup an automation to announce my morning drive time at certain times in the morning using the Waze integration (the Google version had too many steps). It works great, except it can be overly accurate - today it announces my travel time to about 15 decimal points, which was really annoying. Any way to make it round?

Hi!

For those interested, a just created a Home Assistant integration, available via HACS, in order to manage wine cellars locally. It supports unlimited cellars with varying configurations, a visual representation of your cellars, compact or detailed views, visual cues for aging, a web search tool to analyse a label picture and fetch relevant info, and much more. I'm French-speaking but the integration should work well in English also, based on your HA language. It was coded with Québec's state-owned wine distributor in mind, but should work regardless of where you live, there are simply a few references to SAQ.com. You can find the repo and instructions here:

https://github.com/bernarddery/Wine-Cellar-Manager

Try it and give me feedback! I've been using it for several weeks and have fixed bugs as they come, it's very stable for me.

Please note that some bugs and improvements were built with the help of IA. It seems mandatory to mention it nowadays.

Happy to see this update and a bunch of exposed entities without the need to add on the hub.
