Hi All,

I recently set up predictive heating in Home Assistant using a simple derivative sensor—and it’s been a game changer. Instead of waiting for the temperature to drop, it now reacts based on where the temperature is going. No more overcooling due to heating inertia.I wrote a little guide about how it works and how to set it:

"Predictive Heating: Home Comfort with Home Assistant and Derivative Sensors"It’s especially handy for underfloor heating or systems that take a while to react.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

I have my WFH desk in a shallow closet, and the lighting during meetings is awful.

I was thinking of using a smart lamp hooked into my teams calendar, but couldn't figure out how to handle the cases when I take meetings in another room on the laptop...

A quick rethink and one smart switch and contact sensor fixes the issue easily, and the light reminds me to close the webcam privacy cover!

Hi all,

I live in a detached house with my server set up in the garage. Right now, I’ve only got one Shelly wall switch (Wi-Fi — didn’t realize Zigbee would’ve been the better route).

Other smart devices in the house:

• Ajax alarm system with door/window detectors
• Tado thermostat and TRVs
• Smart washing machine (dryer isn’t smart, they’re stacked)

I’m looking to start building out a Zigbee ecosystem. Could you help me out with:

1. What’s the best way to kick things off? (Which hub/coordinator to use? Just a usb dongle?)
2. Which Zigbee sensors/devices do you swear by?

Would love some tips from people who've been down this road. Thanks! 🙌

My washing machine and tumble dryer live in a semi-detached shed so are not visible at all times and they are both prone to giving wildly inaccurate time remaining readings which makes for numerous wasted trips to check when its time to swap the loads.

So my latest project has been to install a Shelly EM to monitor the power usage of both machines and then to notify us when they stop (power drops to 0), this will send a push notification and now will also launch a popup on the tablet I have mounted in the kitchen. I decided to be a bit more "creative" with this popup and so with the help of ChatGPT I decided to add some Fallout 4 elements to my smart home :)

Excuse the bad angle but I was fighting with glare

I want to monitor the power consumption of various 120V and 240V appliances. I like the idea of installing current clamps directly in the panel, but a lot of these products have a hub that has like 8 or 16 circuits, and if you run out they are not expandable. I would like to start off by just monitoring 2 or 3 circuits but have the capability to monitor more and my system grows.

What are you guys using and what is known to work well with HA?

My Voice constantly hears its wake word when I'm watching TV. When that happens it also hears a portion of the ongoing conversation from the TV before I can yell "never mind". Since the Voice has already heard some audio after hearing the wake word it's in "transcription mode" and doesn't respond to the "never mind" input.

This will tell the Voice to stop listening: "Hey Jarvis........ never mind".

But when it somehow hears its name during a commercial for some medicine this doesn't make it stop listening: "Hey Jarvis..... be sure to ask your doctor about never mind"

Is there a way to tell my Voice to stop listening if it's already in its Whisper phase? Can Whisper tell the Voice to bail out if it transcribes a certain word or phrase?

I wanted a way of viewing devices as they come online and my Orbi router is a pain to do this on. This uses the NETGEAR integration to det the device tracker entities.

Here's what this card will do:

• Find all device_tracker entities with state "home"
• Display them in an entities card
• Use the friendly_name attribute as the primary display name (with a fallback that formats the entity_id nicely if friendly_name is missing)
• Show the IP address in the secondary line
• Sort the devices alphabetically by name
• Hides the card when no devices are at home

Requirements:

You'll need to install the "lovelace-template-entity-row" and "auto-entites" custom cards via HACS (Home Assistant Community Store).

`yaml type: custom:auto-entities card: type: entities title: Devices at Home icon: mdi:router-network state_color: true filter: include:

• entity_id: device_tracker.* state: home options: type: custom:template-entity-row name: >- {{ state_attr("this.entity_id", "friendly_name") or this.entity_id.split(".")[1] | replace("_", " ") | title }} secondary: "IP: {{ state_attr("this.entity_id", "ip") }}" exclude: [] show_empty: false sort: method: name reverse: false`
