Been using Samsung cell phones for years and 4 weeks ago decided to try the Pixel 10 Pro. The phone is fine it's the knock on impact to everything else. My YouTube is now filled with garbage conspiracy theory crap and the number of ad's across android devices has increased. I regret this decision!

Curious to know what the @home-assistant.io community is doing in this scenario. The Leviton zwave has 1 controlled plug and 1 constant power. Freezers are in the non controlled, I monitor the alive status of the node and alert if dead. Smartpanel isn't an option I wish And a UPS yes it's on the way

An expensive lesson learned!, a tripped breaker and loss of ~$1K of meat. I wasn't monitoring the breakers and it wasn't on a smart plug. Just one of the things I didn't get around too.
Both now have dedicated breaker per with a zwave plug per.. Monitoring the node status of each #homeautomation

LLMs do not understand, will not understand, and cannot ever understand information. It's a glorified search engine combined with auto-compete, and you should treat it as such. No matter how much LLM companies try to tell you their machines can think or reason, they cannot and will not.

Additional testing is pointing to Watchman. I verified by restoring I immediately got the watchman beta release prompt to upgrade. I upgraded and it killed the instance again.
Restored again. Removed watchman and stable now. HDD failure and Watchman beta! @home-assistant.io @home-assistant.dev

Now we find out if my 3 backups in 2026 will work.
I did actually test restore on a VM over the holidays but this is the first time doing my production @home-assistant.io instance on physical hardware. Signs point to an SSD failure on the original system. 😭 #homeassistant #homeautomation

Made the mistake of calling Bell Canada today to discuss the continuation of them extorting a ridiculous amount of money out of me monthly for a cell phone plan. Suffice to say it went as expected and everything is more expensive. Now I want throw myself in front of a snow plow!! #bellcanadaripoff

Photo of Prime Minister Carney speaking at a podium in Davos, Switzerland. A quote from his speech is edited on top: “WHEN THE RULES NO LONGER PROTECT YOU, YOU MUST PROTECT YOURSELF. BUT LET US BE CLEAR-EYED ABOUT WHERE THIS LEADS. A WORLD OF FORTRESSES WILL BE POORER, MORE FRAGILE, AND LESS SUSTAINABLE.”
We can build walls or we can be more ambitious — and build something better, stronger, and more just.

Ah the joys of home automation!! Sometimes all the players don't play nice together. First @home-assistant.io voice fell out with everyone, then @shelly_IoT devices started falling off the network, then @ubiquiti.bsky.social ... time to reboot the house..
Everything is well again 🤗 #homeautomation

It was eye opening to see the trends and the correlation with other events headaches, sleepiness and my HRV just casually idling along not actually moving air around. So the solution
1. Get rid of the gas stove .. induction
2. Automate the HRV and align with Ecobee Fan timing
3. Monitor changes

A few months ago I decided to start gathering CO2 data with an M5 Stack sensor and @home-assistant.io partly because of my gas stove and all the hype around gas nowadays.. and wow! Based on the data we no longer have a gas stove in our home. #homeautomation #m5stack

Happy 12th Birthday, Home Assistant!
Every September, we celebrate the anniversary of Home Assistant’s first PR in 2013 – for our 12th birthday, we’re going all in on community again. Last month, we asked for submissions on how Home Assistant helps you, and today we will highlight our favorites! We will also take a look at all the cool milestones over the past year in the project, thanks to contributions from you all, and the new things coming up for the community.
## It’s a communal effort
When I (Missy Quarry) joined as the Community & Social Media Manager in February 2024, I was still new to how an open source project the size of Home Assistant manages its community. Over the past 18 months, I’ve seen Home Assistant community members from all walks of life — whether DIY tinkerers or people simply looking to make small improvements at home — contribute in their own ways. By sharing your stories and inspiring others, you’ve helped the project grow. For our 12th birthday, I want to celebrate these contributions, no matter the size or complexity. 😌
Before I jump into celebrating all your amazing contributions and how they shape the projects managed by the Open Home Foundation, I have a couple of birthday presents for you. 🎁
First, I’m thrilled to share our new Community website! Right now, it’s a simple hub to find community information with ease, but we expect to evolve this over the coming months (or so). You’ll find links to our official community platforms, information on events, and details on meetups, including how to get reimbursed for certain fees as a host. In the future, I’d like to include links to regional communities we’re aware of and showcase more of the kinds of stories I’ll be sharing today.
_Feel like something’s missing from this new page?Let me know!_
Next, we’ve been working hard to do more of our development in the open. Last September, I redesigned the Discord server and in doing so I gated the _Developer_ category behind a role. This has made it more difficult to develop in the open with the channels hidden behind a role, so we’re switching things up.
As of this week, the Developer category is now **read-only** for every member. Want to take a peek into the future of Home Assistant? Head to the #projects channel and see what contributors are talking about! Want to join in and contribute with either your feedback or skills? I’ve created an info thread for the channel that explains how to assign yourself either the Developer or Designer role and unlock the ability to chat in the threads.
Let’s jump into those submitted stories now… 🤩
## Happily ever after
In my opinion, the best thing about Home Assistant is its flexibility - you can integrate such a wide range of devices into it and use their data to build a unique-to-your-home experience. And that’s exactly why I wanted to hear how you, the community, use it in your own home to benefit you. Here are my favorite stories you submitted - I hope one inspires your next project. ✨
* A coffee automation to improve Home Approval Factor. ☕️ Jordan made a morning automation to avoid having the coffee grinder grind his morning mood.
* u/katschung helped their girlfriend fully accept Home Assistant by creating a dashboard with a retrogame-style floor plan. 🕹️
* Sythsaz uses Home Assistant to make sure their pupper is fed. 🐾 “ _I’ve managed to make it so my dog’s food auto emails the vet then the response to the email gets put on my calendar so I know how long a bag of food lasts as well as adding the receipts to Google Drive._ ”
* Inspired by PowerDisplayESPHome, JannickBlmndl made an LED matrix that helps their household be more sustainable by being energy flexible. It displays the live energy prices from their energy provider. 📊
* Tano Spirits in Melbourne, Australia, uses Home Assistant to automate their Japanese Shochu distillery, inspired by the brewing automations at Little Island Brewing Co in Singapore. 🍻
* Several years ago, HillPhantom found that Home Assistant wasn’t quite ready for him. Over the past year, though, he’s now got Ollama set up with his Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition and has been building guides on how to make your own mmWave radar sensors in Home Assistant. 👋🏻
* Over just a few weeks, Pieter van Kampen recently integrated 190 devices that respond to voice control and more than 1200 active entities from his KNX home to create over 30 automations to help with everything from mowing the lawn to controlling shades based on the sun’s location and intensity. 🪟
* MB used Zigbee buttons to help collect data for their son’s doctor after he developed some trouble sleeping. This gave excellent insight for the doctor to start looking into causes, and they even used the system remotely while doing further evaluation. 📈
* Graham Hosking took automations to another level (before we did) with his AI Automation Suggester and Automation Inspector. It takes the load off your brain by helping come up with new, clever automations! 🤖
* Wessam Lauf fell down the rabbit hole that is Home Assistant once he got his setup running. Inspired by the Graphite theme and after some LLM vibe-coding, he wrote a template for his very own theme, Frosted Glass - now available in HACS. 🎨
* Too many of us anthropomorphize our homes, telling it to chill out when five things break the same day. Biofects took that to heart and created this Home Assistant avatar for his home (here’s a bonus, nightmare fuel first version). 🫣
## Developers! 👏🏻 Developers! 👏🏻 Developers! 👏🏻
Our community is more than developers, it’s true. But we wouldn’t be the largest open source project on GitHub if we didn’t have a vibrant and active developer community. This ship sails largely due to their contributions, and we genuinely appreciate all of their efforts.
That’s why we’re eager to interview community members when we open new roles at the foundation. We’ve employed community members like Joostlek (who designed the new Integration Quality Scale and helps onboard new integrations into Core), Timo (who is our first ever Android developer and has focused on polishing the Android app), and Maxim (a talented developer from the Music Assistant community who works on both Music Assistant and ESPHome and is one of our newest additions to the team). Their contributions have helped shape how things work around here, but it was their contributions as community members that helped pave the way for their joining the foundation. These are just a select few of the _several_ new hires at the foundation who were active community members.
(Have you checked our jobs page recently to see what roles are open? 👀)
With our community of contributors and working with Nabu Casa on the hardware design, we have successfully launched a few new pieces of hardware. The Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition brought in language experts from every corner of the world to help ensure our language coverage is the most robust in the industry. Thanks to contributors, we support languages like Greek, Icelandic, and more recently Irish Gaeilge! 😎 We had community contributors help make sure the Home Assistant Connect ZWA-2 was prepared for launch last month. Sincerely, we couldn’t be more grateful for your support and efforts in these spaces.
Here are some fun stats from our GitHub contributors (commits on our Core repo):
* Last 12 months (Sept - Aug) - 14,385
* Previous 12 months - 14,503
A SPECIAL CONGRATULATIONS to bdraco, who just last week surpassed balloob (the founder of Home Assistant) as the contributor with the most commits!
The top 8 contributors of all time in home-assistant/core👏🏻
This is just a small peek into all the hard work that goes into maintaining Home Assistant - we have more repositories than just Core, and every single contribution is valued.
Honorable dev mention from the submitted community stories - I couldn’t leave Joostlek’s (joke) submission out. 🤣
* Our very own Head of Developer Relations (his words), Joost Lekkerkerker, says Home Assistant helps keep him off the street. He’s just launched his new blog that talks about his vision of a smart home, and how he was inspired to not buy Tuya Wi-Fi lights after seeing my experience with some path lights.
## Our humble gratitude
Community is the core of what we do and the heart of Home Assistant. We thrive because you care and contribute your valuable time to support our collective success. Whether you found our platform because you wanted more privacy from big tech, were intrigued by the number of choices implemented into a single app, or needed something to track your sustainability efforts — you support our values every day. Thanks for choosing us, and thank you for all you do to help support the foundation and the projects we maintain.
A very special thanks to all our Home Assistant Cloud subscribers and anyone who has purchased our official Home Assistant hardware. These support the full-time development of Home Assistant (along with ESPHome, Music Assistant, and so much more), and are the easiest way to ensure these projects keep getting cool new features!
We have more things coming down the line for you. In the near future, we plan on announcing a new merch store 👕. In the first half of next year, I’ll announce when Home Assistant Community Day 2026 will be. We’re already working with Nabu Casa on the next exciting hardware announcement (no spoilers…for now). And that’s not even touching the industry events we plan on attending, the State of the Open Home, and so much more. I’m excited to take you all on the journey we’re already working on over the next 12 months, and I’m always looking forward to another year of amazing contributions. 😌

A 6-panel comic of Casita, the Home Assistant mascot, sitting at her HA-branded laptop complaining about an issue in her YAML code. Comic was drawn by our graphic artist, Clelia Rella, and based off another meme.
Panel 1 - Black text on a Home Assistant blue background reads, "A typical day in a programmer's {life();}"
The misplacement of the semi-colon is intentional.
Panel 2 - Casita is frustrated, arms crossed. "I hate this hobby", she says.
Panel 3 - Casita is sobbing, her arms in a "why" pose. "and i hate my life"
Panel 4 - Casita is now fuming, looking as if she's going to pull her non-existent hair. Thought bubble looks like it's on fire. "why is this happening to meeeeee", she whines.
Panel 5 - Casita looks embarrassed face and her pointer fingers touching. "never mind. missed a space"
Panel 6 - Black text on a Home Assistant blue background reads, "The end". On the bottom right of the panel is the Home Assistant name and logo.
Just some #YAMLProblems... 😅
Happy Programmer's Day, y'all! 🩵
