First off, thank you for the insane support! Our first batch of Sensy One E1 PoE mmWave sensors sold out in under 24 hours! We’ve already shipped 80% of those orders, and the rest will go out by mid-next week. With 3D printers running 24/7 and each unit soldered, flashed, and tested by hand, any new orders placed now will ship in our usual 5–10-day window starting next week!

E1's In Production!

If you missed round one you can still grab your Sensy One E1 today! Watch it in action on YouTube, tinker with the open source firmware on GitHub and dive into our Discord community. No PoE? No problem our Sensy One S1 WiFi mmWave sensor has you covered.

Thanks again for all your support! This community has made every late night at the soldering bench totally worth it! 🚀✨

Hello everyone, can anyone give me tips on which weather station works well with HA and can be operated completely without the cloud. It would be nice if all functions are available. Unfortunately, at least with some of them, some functions are only available via the cloud.

It doesn't really matter which wireless system. ZigBee would be very nice. Wifi would also be good, but probably won't be available without the cloud. The average consumer can't manage that 😉. Matter or / and Tread wouldn't be wrong either.

Out of the over 6,000 sensors we've built, based on the LD2450's 2A we've probably built over 2,100 of this little DIY sensors, and we've had a pretty good time. Watching the 3D printer shape the housing, put the boards together, add the wires, add the sensors, do enough stability testing, and then, they're off to the world.

As the first LD2450 sensor, you should be no stranger to this sensor today For this sensor, it is capable of detecting up to three people, capable of dividing out zones, and capable of displaying a current detection coordinate in the HA card. The BH1750 integrated in the sensor is able to detect light in great detail.

All in all, we are offering a 10% discount and we are happy to continue making these interesting sensors for you.

I have a rock solid solution without helpers, multiple automation or any other complexity for ensuring that an automation may only one once a day even if the trigger conditions occur multiple times. I proposed it as a solution to another user's question and was irritated that it seems to be common to build complex helpers and additional automations to reset helpers. I received much positive feedback so I decided to dedicate an own post for it.

This solution is used for my automated window shutters which are triggered by sunrise or a specific time but only the first occurence shall execute the automation. Another example would be to trigger something on the first motion detector of many but not on each.

How it works

It makes sure the automation can only run once a day. You can just use it as is here. No adaptations, no helper needed. In the GUI add a template condition under conditions and paste this line and you are done:

{{ this.attributes.last_triggered is none or this.attributes.last_triggered < today_at() }}

this refers to the automation itself and the last_triggered attribute is checked.today_at() equals midnight, the beginning of the actual day. The none clause is a little addition for the edge case of a fresh automation that never ran before, so that you won't have to trigger it by hand for the first time to not throw an error.

When you are preferring not to use the GUI but YAML, this would be the code for the condition:

condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: >
      {{ this.attributes.last_triggered is none or this.attributes.last_triggered < today_at() }}

If you just want to block it for some hours after the last event you can check whether now() minus the last trigger time has a certain delta of for example 2 hours (7200s).

{{ this.attributes.last_triggered is none or (now() - this.attributes.last_triggered).total_seconds() > 7200 }}

I hope this will help some of you who didn't know this solution yet! Have fun!

EDIT: Addition from the comments: This solution also survives HA restarts

EDIT2: My application example may be not the best. There is a lot more motivation and potential from ideas in the comments for other "only on first of multiple events" use cases.

Hey all! I've had a google based smart home for a while and I've recently transitioned to Home Assistant and love it. I have a problem that isn't really Home Assistant but I'm hoping you all can help. My partner is a ginger and none of the people detecting devices see her. I had (kinda crappy but good beginner) wiz motion sensors with my wiz light bulbs and they just wouldn't see her in the bathroom. So I just figured, crappy sensors I'll upgrade. So I got a mmwave device from sonoff not the best on the market but it detects me fine even from the other side of a shower curtain but her? Nothing. Stands in the dark. Often she has to wait till the cat wanders in.

Was Eric Cartmen right? Do they have no soul so our sensors cannot see them? Any suggestions?

Edit: turned the mmwave up to its highest setting. She's sitting right in front of it. Nothing. Honestly at this point I don't know what sort of creature I've been ensorcelled by.

Edit2: the Hallucination just suggested I get a co2 detector to see if that's the problem

I am here today to tell you a story about how I discovered that I have the dumbs.

For a while now, I've been wondering why my home assistant backups were massive. They were about 9GB each.

I could not figure out what was going on. I installed an addon to get the size of my database, which only amounted to about 38MB, so clearly that wasn't the culprit.

I've also tried downloading the backup file, so I could peak into it - but the download kept failing, for no apparent reason.

Turns out, the LAN cable I've plugged into it was shit - I replaced that and boom, I could now download the file.

Looking into that file, it turns out that Homeassistant were storing all the recordings from one of my cameras - which was very weird, I had only enabled recording in the Tapo app on my phone, I had not configured any recording in HA.

And as these recordings were not stored in the media folder, the backup system doesn't ignore them, even if media is disabled in the settings.

But why was there recordings in HA? I hadn't set up any automations for it, so it was odd.

After a lot of digging, I found an option to enable Media Sync on the tapo integration. So whenever my camera recorded something onto the SD-card, home assistant would sync it to a folder on my PIs ssd.

That was an annoying thing to fix, but my backups are now down to ~250MB and it no longer takes forever to create a backup file..

Yay. Thought I'd share in case someone else might have the same issue.

I 've been slowly building out my smart home towards convenience and energy efficiency.

Right now, I'm using:

• Motion sensors in the hallway

• Smart plugs to automate appliances

• Smart light bulbs and switches

• A smart door camera

• An energy monitor that tracks power use

So I own a small smart tech store so i test a lot of stuff... but this is how i use myself.

What are your favorite smart home devices in 2025? Anything you 'd recommend I try?

For those of you that use Ikea Symfonisk speakers in your smart home for say playing Spotify playlists or TTS announcements, be aware that the partnership with Sonos is ending. Might be worth getting any you need before they go out of stock never to return!

I've been thinking about the concept of a wall mounted tablet and im curious how folks are locking the screen when not at home. Lets say someone does in fact break into your house and on the screen you have your family's location on there what is stopping someone from not seeing this info? On the flip side what do you do if you have someone staying at your house what info do you display to them that isnt as elaborate?
