So for a long time we use Voice Assistant to control our house. But as always we wanted more :)

My dream was to have a Jarvis like AI assistant. An AI Family member that grows with us. Remembers what we talked about and gives answers based on past conversations.

I wanted for my whole family to talk with the same AI every time and not just a one time spawn assistant.

So the first thing I had to figure our was memory. I found several ways to add memory to voice assistant. Still not where I want them to be but it is a very good starting point.

1- AI Long Term Memory

https://github.com/Riscue/ha-ai-memory

So AI Long Term Memory is kind of plugging itself to your existing conversation agent and adds a "Memory Management" checkbox. If checked it will automatically start to add and extract memory while you have a conversation with your LLM

2- Home-Mind / Nives

https://github.com/hoornet/nives

This one I used for a while. There is an active development going on and constantly adding new features. The working principle is it adds a home-mind server with shodh database between home assistant and your LLM. It also gives you a conversation agent to use. After installing it you will see a new conversation agent that you can use in your Voice assistant pipeline.

You can install home-mind yourself in your local environment and use its own conversation agent integration if you like to tinker stuff.

https://github.com/hoornet/home-mind / https://github.com/hoornet/home-mind-hacs

and my current favorite;

3- Hermes agent as Conversation agent.

https://github.com/WolframRavenwolf/hermes-ha-integration

https://github.com/WolframRavenwolf/hermes-ha-addon

Yes that's right. You can use hermes as a conversation agent for your voice assistant. It already has lot's of things as you might know, including memory. There are two ways to use hermes agent. One is to install it inside home assistant directly as an app (hermes-ha-addon) which includes both the hermes agent and the conversation agent. Or if you have already a hermes instance running you can use the conversation agent directly to connect to your existing hermes instance (hermes-ha-integrtion)

At this point all actions are taken by hermes via the home assistant skills and tools. So a long lived key is needed from home assistant to give hermes access to your home assistant.

There is also an openclaw version of this: https://github.com/RetiredWizard/openclaw-conversation

I made a memory comparison between these options here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssQfQ8elyzU

I am just blown away by the simplicity of Adaptive Multi Room Audio with Music and Home Assistant.

A few years ago I dreamed of having music following me through the house. Playing music where I go and turning it off when I am not in a room anymore.

Today I gave it another go as all of my speakers are using Sendspin now and it was this easy.

The Group Player in Music Assistant keeps all the state and allows joining/unjoining any other player so there are no helpers needed for keeping states as a workaround or which player is the main player.

Magic Areas keep the configuration for Area state tracking simple.

Just a big Thank you to all of the maintainers!

I've lived dangerously, taking updates as soon as they drop - no major issues 3 or 4 years doing it. Not this time, unfortunately.

After the latest updates (2026.8.1 etc), logging in is now a lottery.

First, a warning about http block moving out of config. I managed to whitelist my IP so I could at least log in. That worked fine for a few hours, but now I don't even get the log in page.

Anyone else experiencing this?

As the title says, mostly on configuration and software level than hardware.

Does anyone recommend a durable gate sensors? I'm struggling to find anything worthwhile, I've looked at Ecobee and Unifi but no dice.

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/
