Last October feels like a decade ago, but our friends at GitHub shared the perfect video from Universe '24 to remind us how a personal project became an open source movement.

Home Assistant to the rescue again! Just had a small leak from the kitchen sink’s garbage disposal. Notified on the first few drips!

That was quick: got a cease&desist from #Remeha because apparently they don't know about Auteurswet artikel 45m, which allows for reverse engineering.

We have another company joining the Works With Home Assistant program - Eve!

Eve is at the forefront of the Matter standard and focus on local control & privacy in the home. Check out the blog for what devices were certified - including some firsts for the program.

Happy #EarthDay2025!

We want a smart home to last at least a decade - how do we support sustainability?

Upcycling: reuse packaging for shipping or art
Low-powered: software that does more with less
Local support: less cloud polling = fewer resources used

As a reminder, if you want to measure electricity usage with #HomeAssistant from any meter, check out glow! Easy #EspHome device. I just set it to listen our new meter led, until I get the proper connector.
