Wanted to install a Reolink garden cam. Found this instead π¬π

Can @home-assistant.io run DOOM? Turns out: yes.
I built an integration that runs the real DOOM (1993) inside a dashboard, including some sensor entities..
The entire thing was written by AI in under 2 hours. I didn't write a single line of code.

Kinda or crashes? π€
I hope it at least came up in emergency mode?
An amazing Home Assistant cake at @home-assistant.io Community Meetup in Cologne yesterday! π€©π°π

Sorry to say⦠no AI dubbing in this one. That is my real voice. I live on the German border actually.
On my way to the Home Assistant Community Meetup in Cologne! π
Excited to meet everyone! π€

I said for years I probably wouldnβt go for smart locks. Yet here we are π
Installing the NUKI Smart Lock Ultra + Keypad 2 with @home-assistant.io soon.
Curious about real world experience. What are your doβs and donβts? Got automations that actually improved daily life?

And we're particularly excited about using this to help open-source maintainers. When we showed this to @frenck.social, the maintainer of Home Assistant, he wrote a workflow that reads the traces for bugs and figures out if they originate in the HA codebase or not.
True noise elimination for OSS.
π¦ A fresh package arrived!
I still get that βkid on a birthdayβ feeling when the mail shows up with a box of new goodiesβ¦
This one from Signify has me pretty excited π€
Come to our the @home-assistant.io community meetup in Utrecht! We opened up way more spots, so more people can join!
Lot of us are there, including famous ESPHome people!
See you tomorrow? π»

Arrived in Brussels! π Even with the trains strike happening here in Belgium π
Excited for #FOSDEM! π
See you there?
I decided to give UniFiβs Teleport a shot while traveling. In a 4 hour train ride right now; working remotely on my MacBook.
First impression: mehβ¦ it works; but it for sure needs a lot of improvements around recovering from flaky 5G internet connectionsβ¦
Not really, there are many designs out there for HA related stuff. This one is by Pittaya (creator of Mushroom): makerworld.com/en/models/14...
Let it run overnight and woke up to this beauty! π β¨ 5+ hours of printing later, my new office has some proper @home-assistant.io decoration. Now to find the perfect spot in my streaming backgroundβ¦ π¬
As an ex-XS4ALL-employee myself, I do love their values.... The reality is I have been basically been issue free with my current provider for years (except for now), and I'm simply not able to justify the price difference because of that.
Oh boy⦠in my case⦠the connection really drops or gets bad during those episodes. Is has affected me in video calls quite a bit :(
Meh⦠I am experiencing Odido connectivity issues the past day at my new home⦠kinda cool UniFi logs and warns for it though!
Well, CES didn't happen for me this year.
After three flight cancellations (broken plane, crew limits, lost instrumentation on the runway), I'm still in the Netherlands. My luggage made it to Vegas though, which is the most hilarious part of this whole mess.
Choo choo from the frozen NetherlandsπβοΈ
It is connected to ethernet, but nothing...
I've requested a transfer @ SolarEdge... Now I wait :)
I run my Home Assistant Operating System directly on a Beelink Mini S12 Pro (on bare metal, no Promox).
Let's go! π
Time to bootstrap a fresh Home Assistant instance for my new home β¨
@home-assistant.io #HomeAssistant #SmartHome
New house came with a SolarEdge inverter βοΈ
Plot twist: can't access it. SetApp login fails, Wi-Fi credentials on the side are useless.
Anyone reset one of these as a new homeowner? Or am I stuck pointing at it hoping it works?

I replaced a R**g doorbell with a Reolink PoE one the other day for the Home Assistant integration. Tailscale means I get notifications with photos from HA with nothing leaving my internal network. Great!
Installed the Reolink Doorbell @ my new place. All prepping for my fresh new Home Assistant powered smart home. Besides... it is kinda nice to know that someone is at the door π
