Another example of #Apple “intelligence” totally messing up. Nowhere in the email was £100 mentioned, I wish it was as that would have been a far cheaper visit.

I dread the day when this comes to my work email, I’ll spend half my time correcting people that only read the misinformation.

A little milestone reached with 20k people downloading the latest version of Battery Notes for #HomeAssistant

True usage stats are impossible but this is the figure used in HACS to indicate popularity.

Never thought I’d reach this sort of usage when I first created it but it’s been great receiving lots of positive feedback and ideas for improving it.

It does also make me very nervous releasing new versions in case I break something.

Moved my Ulanzi clock from EspHoMaTriXv2 to Awtrix 3 as it seems the more maintained solution now.

Rather than blueprints I wanted to vary the mechanism for refreshing data so created some simple scripts in #HomeAssistant for adding an app, deleting an app, and creating a notification which I can call regardless of what trigger I want to use.

The scripts have common defaults and if I ever need anything unusual I can just use an MQTT publish directly.

Finally removed the deprecated code in #HomeAssistant core for the yaml config of the Mastodon integration ready for the 2025.2 release, that's one less backward compatibility to consider when creating new features.

Most deprecations hangs around for 6 months, during which time you'll get warnings or issues raised. If you leave updating your instance too long you'll miss these early notifications and things will break with no explanation, so try to keep within a few months.

My #HomeAssistant Voice device arrived and I'm putting it to work in the kitchen, the most demanding place for frequent use to add items to Mealie and also suffers the most background noise.

I've been a bit spoilt with Onju Voice (Google Mini's with custom PCB's) which have a far better speaker but don't have the ability to play and listen at the same time, which the HA Voice can due to two I2S buses so timers, wake sounds and interruptions are possible.

Getting closer to replacing the Echo.

Thinking about the #HomeAssistant voice hardware, that Grove port location on the bottom would make it possible to create a stackable module that sits underneath.

Lots of option for things like a screen, additional input controls, or other sensors in a neat package.

Watching the #HomeAssistant Voice Preview Edition launch video and Okay Nabu kept triggering my speaker and switching off my lights.

Because I watch on my Apple TV I knocked up a quick little automation to disable the wake word on my speaker whilst You Tube is playing a Home Assistant video and enabling it again after.
