Hi everyone! 😊

I’m trying to surprise my husband with a mini pc for his Home Assistant setup. He’s using a Synology machine now but has mentioned raspberry pie.

I’ve been reading Reddit but honestly, most of it is way over my head 😅

He automated all our lights, curtain, camera, and I guess other stuff? I feel he automated too much though and am afraid nothing will work anymore once internet goes out..

What would you buy if you were me? Appreciate the help! 🙏

I've just received my HA Green and I'm learning along the way. I discovered today that besides setting up my dashboard and integrating everything, I can do things like notify me what train is going past my house, or what plane it is that I can hear overhead.

These won't contribute anything to me but satisfy curiosities. What integrations etc do you have just for the sake of your own interest? I'm looking for inspiration.

I’m just starting out. I have an N100 based NUC with win11 pro and HA is running under virtual box. But before I get too far along, I’m wondering if that’s the best way. I don’t use this nuc for anything else so thinking about installing HAOS, ie bare metal. Right now it’s on my desk so I can connect to a keyboard monitor to manage windows. But will eventually move it to its permanent home on top of a cabinet away from a monitor because windows allows me to rdp into it. But with HAOS that access goes away. So wondering what is best practice, VM or HAOS. note that I’ll be getting a zigbee dongle in a few days and also have a couple of Bluetooth air quality monitors I want to integrate too.

Gemma 3n sounds like the perfect low latency model for HA voice. I wonder if users will be able to skip the STT parts of the pipeline to get a seamless experience. Anyone playing with this idea?

Gemma 3n can understand and process audio, text, and images, and offers significantly enhanced video understanding. Its audio capabilities enable the model to perform high-quality Automatic Speech Recognition (transcription) and Translation (speech to translated text). Additionally, the model accepts interleaved inputs across modalities, enabling understanding of complex multimodal interactions. (Public implementation coming soon)

Gemma 3n leverages a Google DeepMind innovation called Per-Layer Embeddings (PLE) that delivers a significant reduction in RAM usage. While the raw parameter count is 5B and 8B, this innovation allows you to run larger models on mobile devices or live-stream from the cloud, with a memory overhead comparable to a 2B and 4B model, meaning the models can operate with a dynamic memory footprint of just 2GB and 3GB. Learn more in our documentation.

Hey all - newbie here (with some experience). I’ve run into a weird pattern and wondering if anyone else has seen this.

Tried automating my Xiaomi X20+ (via Xiaomi Miot) to clean a specific room or enable mopping. Read all the posts, docs, tried every suggestion — nothing worked. The vacuum card buttons work fine, but call_action in automations just... does nothing. I double-checked the siid, aiid, and params - they seem to be correct. So I gave up.

Then I moved on and tried something totally different: show a popup with Browser Mod when my Reolink doorbell is pressed. The popup works instantly from Developer Tools, but put the same yaml in an automation and... nothing. Automation triggers, no popup, no error.

So now I’m thinking the issue isn’t Xiaomi or Browser Mod specifically - maybe my setup just doesn’t run “perform action” services from automations at all?

Am I missing something. Anyone run into this? Ideas how to troubleshoot?

I have Home Assistant Green.

Original Title: The documentation for actionable notifications leaves a lot to be desired IMO. So, for people who are curious, here's an easy example to follow. It uses a different notify service but works just as well. I use it to choose which vacuum routine to run. No variables, just a simple event.

Just an FYI, I updated to 2025.5.2 this morning, which toasted LocalTuya. So today has been spent migrating 25 devices to Tuya-Local, updating dashboards, scenes and automations, and feeling a little frustrated. Hopefully this integration stays maintained!

I just stumbled upon this article, does this mean we will be able to use our voice assistant from HASS?

Hey Guys, its been some time since i posted my card last time. I work almost every day to make it better and i wanted to share again.

What does the card do?

It will show all your relevant entities gruped by domain/device_class that are in an active state.

You only need to link your entities or devices to one of your areas and the card will do the rest.

Light Theme

Dark Theme

  • 🤖 Auto generating card - Works when entities/devices are assigned to areas
  • ✅ Based on entity states - Shows entities that are in a on/active state (can be inverted)
  • 📚 Automatic Grouping - Entities grouped by domain/device_class
  • 📑 Popup View - Entities will render as Tile Cards in a new view
  • 🧠 GUI Editor - No code or scripts needed
  • 🔧 Highly customizable - almost everything customizable
  • 📱 Optimized for desktop and phones
  • 🌍 Available in all HA languages

With the latest update to 2025.5 i had to change the elements which are used in the card and now its even better. With the latest update you are able to show all entities regardless of the state and you are able to turn off/ turn on all entities at once.

Popup

I would be very happy if you leave some feedback. If you want to know more about it you can check Status Card on Github. You could also join my Discord if you like.

Hi everyone! 

I’m happy to share Actions Card - a wrapper card that has the possibility to add a tap-action, hold action and / or double-tap action to any card you want!

Why I Created This Card

I noticed that many (custom) cards don’t support interactive actions, or I wanted to override their default behavior. For example, entity cards show the more-info dialog when tapped, but what if you want them to navigate to another view instead? My use-case was a custom camera card that did not support a tap-action, so I created my own custom card to achieve this.

Features

  • Add tap, hold, and double-tap actions to ANY card
  • Multiple action types:
    • Toggle entities
    • Navigate to other views
    • Open URLs
    • Call services
    • Show more-info dialogs
    • Open the Assist dialog
    • Fire custom DOM events
  • Optional confirmation dialogs
  • Configurable hold time
  • Can prevent / override default entity dialogs
  • Full visual editor support

Every Home Assistant action is supported!

You have a simple markdown card and you want to add an action? It's possible with this card.

You have a card and you don't like to native tap action? Wrap it in this custom card and replace the action.

You have a card which doesn't support actions? Wrap it in this card and configure an action.

There are alot of possibilities with this card.

Configuration Example

type: custom:actions-card
card:
  type: entities
  title: Lights
  entities:
    - light.living_room
    - light.kitchen
    - light.bedroom
tap_action:
  action: toggle
hold_action:
  action: more-info
  confirmation: Are you sure you want to see more info?
double_tap_action:
  action: navigate
  navigation_path: /lovelace/lights
prevent_default_dialog: true

Visual Editor

I’d love to hear how you use this card in your setup and any suggestions for improvements!
