I've noticed an increase in attempts to access my instance of Home Assistant in the last couple of weeks. I would traditionally get a password attempt every 6 months and now I am regularly getting two attempts each day. One is a password attempt and the other is some kind of injection attack.

I recently installed a customization that allows me to proactively block entire ranges of IP addresses which helps.

I was wondering if others are noticing increased hacking attempts or just somehow my DNS entry is being passed around circles for hacking.

I've been trying to create an automation that will check all my devices battery levels, and alert me if any of them is bellow 20%. I don't know how to get the automation to pick up ANY device.

Also, I'd like the notification on my android app to inform what device has low battery, so I assume the device name somehow needs to be passed to the notification.

Any help would be much appreciated

EDIT: Thank you everyone who pointed me to the blueprint. I've got it setup, and I believe it's working.

I've been having some fun with my neighbor; paired his Bluetooth toothbrush with some exterior lights that face his house.

I've heard others who can see the tire pressure of garbage trucks as they go by and all kinds of other unexpected signals. What are some interesting unexpected 'sensors' you all have picked up from the outside world?

I have been using Smart Life on Android for some time. Have a mix of a big diversity of Wifi, Zigbee, switches, sockets, bulbs, presence etc etc. Works pretty well.

I had been toying with trying out something PC / Pi based.....and needed a new Plex server so took the jump to cover off both and try out HA.

Holy hell this is good software. Kudos to the creators and maintainers. I smile every time I try something. Just so good.

Throw in GPT guidance when you want to do something a bit complicated.....so great.

That is all.

Hi! I'm a software lead at Pila, and we're looking to ship Home Assistant support out of the box (publish our internal and external-facing MQTT topics). Pila is a room-by-room home backup battery solution designed to integrate into your existing smart home setup. In the same way that Powerwall leveled up old-school lead-acid home battery banks, we're bringing the UPS into this century with more power/energy plus day-to-day value centered on connectivity, data, and control. It can be configured to charge from solar or the grid (TOU-aware), meters/control power at every outlet + USB-C port, and pairs wirelessly to sensors (like fridge temp or humidity) for richer automations. And with all of this, it works offline — we learned from our time developing Powerwall and SPAN how critical local interoperability is.

Our goal is to make battery backup accessible to the 99.7% of households that don't have a whole-home battery system, and to offer deeper energy intelligence and control, in addition to automatic backup power during outages.

What features would you want to see for our Home Assistant integration? What’s missing from current energy products?

Basically, title...

I guess everyone knows about bulbs/plugs/cameras/motion/presence/contact/smoke/temp/humidity. I'm just wondering if I'm missing on some fun stuff.

I took some concepts and several cards jammed into one to create my favorite card yet. Need to experiment with utilizing more bubble card and clean it up to make it more polished but here’s what I’ve got so far.

I used some of u/Pivotonian yaml and Bubble card, Firmote card, swipe navigation card, and Button card.

Let me know what you think and how I can improve it. I get some flickering from the any animated icon/scrolling text through the webkit-blur which I have yet to find the fix for so until then it won’t feel 100% polished.

Hey! Laura from Nabucasa here!  I’m working with the Product team that helps maintain and improve the core structure of Home Assistant in the Open Home Foundation. This is something I've asked around in the HA discord server & forum, but I'd like to ask anyone around here too.

I’m here because I want to learn how you pick the right device, to be sure we are exposing the right info and helping you get the right one too, so getting what you need is simpler but always 100% your choice (everyone makes decisions based on their own needs differently). The purpose being learning if we can figure out ways to support you better in those choices.

I do have my own personal experience with HA and I read the forums, reddit and discord as much as I can, but I thought it makes more sense to just ask you directly and get your feelings from small polls or comments. All help is welcome!

When you want to find the right device, what is the very first thing you start looking for?

Everyone looks for something different,some things I could think of as possibilities:

  • The end purpose I need, in case it exists - Plant controller, air conditioning controller, car door controller…
  • The device type - plug, temperature sensor, movement sensor… regardless of the purpose
  • The brand, in case a brand I like has a device I could use
  • A rough description of the goal, in hopes to get a forum response etc.

What is the most common for you?

There is a lot of variety in the LLMs being used with Home Assistant, as well as voice pipelines.

Because this tech moves pretty fast, I would be curious to hear what others are either using right now, and satified with, or if they are like me and waiting for the next shiny object.

I am using an older model, luna_7b served by LM Studio using the LM Studio gpt compatible API. Works pretty for the most part, however, it has a problem with musltiple commands at a time.

I have also used, the Qwen 2.5_7 and 14b variants with pretty good success; they are on average about 1.5 to 3 seconds slower in their response times than luna_7b, but don't struggle with multipler commands at one time.

Chat GPT-4o, while not local, is still the fastest model I have used, but of course it is not local. FYI, I am using faster-whisper turbo on my server and haven't tested Gemini or Claude
