I know a lot of people already know, but for those that don't, Claude AI is pretty amazing (using the Pro, extended version) in writing or rewriting YAML Automations. I have gone through most of my 120 automations, and claude added error handling, notifications, and simplifications to existing automations. Before you do a final implementation of the new code, make sure to make a duplicate of your exisitng one, then create a v2 (or whatever) and test it out. It is not perfect (but 99% there) since sometimes there are slight implementation or syntax differences (state() versus states() for example), but it is amazing. It would be REALLY cool if HA can implement an AI version to create automations right in HA.

Taking a moment to send a massive thank you to both lsbCoding and FamousWolf for the new navigation option on week-planner-card, such a difference! The card is now perfect!

Set it up with the new option:

showNavigation: true

Hi all,

With the new title description in dashboards in 2025.3.0. Thought I’d just share a dynamic description that changes based on current weather condition. I just provided chatGPT the different states documented here and told it to come up with descriptions as didn’t want to manually type all conditions.

Sharing here so you can tweak to your own setup but here is the template and what it ends up looking like.

# 👋🏼 Hi {{ user }}
{% set temp = state_attr('weather.home', 'temperature') %}
{% set unit = state_attr('weather.home', 'temperature_unit') %}
{{ 
  {
    'clear-night': "🌙 The night sky is crystal clear—perfect for stargazing! A cool " ~ temp ~ unit ~ " makes it even better.",
    'cloudy': "☁️ The clouds have taken over the sky. No sun for now! With " ~ temp ~ unit ~ ", it might feel a bit gloomy.",
    'fog': "🌫️ It's super foggy out there! Feels like a scene from a mystery movie. The temperature is at " ~ temp ~ unit ~ ", so stay cozy!",
    'hail': "❄️⚡ Hailstones are tumbling from the sky—watch your head! And with " ~ temp ~ unit ~ ", it's definitely a chilly one.",
    'lightning': "⚡ Boom! Crack! Thunderstorms are putting on a light show. At " ~ temp ~ unit ~ ", it's quite the dramatic scene!",
    'lightning-rainy': "⛈️ Thunder, lightning, and rain—nature's way of making noise! The temperature is " ~ temp ~ unit ~ ", so stay warm and dry.",
    'partlycloudy': "⛅ A mix of sun and clouds—nature can't decide today! At " ~ temp ~ unit ~ ", it's a day for layers!",
    'pouring': "🌧️💦 It's absolutely pouring! Time to test that raincoat! The temperature is " ~ temp ~ unit ~ ", so dress accordingly.",
    'rainy': "☔ Raindrops keep falling—grab your umbrella! With " ~ temp ~ unit ~ ", it might be a cozy tea-and-blanket day.",
    'snowy': "❄️ The world is turning into a winter wonderland! At " ~ temp ~ unit ~ ", it's definitely time for hot chocolate!",
    'snowy-rainy': "🌨️🌧️ Snow and rain are teaming up for a messy weather day! The temperature is " ~ temp ~ unit ~ ", so dress for everything!",
    'sunny': "☀️ The sun is shining bright—don’t forget your sunglasses! At " ~ temp ~ unit ~ ", it's the perfect day to be outside!",
    'windy': "💨 Hold onto your hat! The wind is howling today! The temperature is " ~ temp ~ unit ~ ", making it feel even stronger!",
    'windy-variant': "🌬️💨 It's windy and cloudy—brace yourself for a blustery day! With " ~ temp ~ unit ~ ", it’s a good day for a warm coat.",
    'exceptional': "🌪️🌊 Extreme weather alert! Stay safe and be prepared! At " ~ temp ~ unit ~ ", conditions could be unpredictable!"
  }[states('weather.home') | default('sunny')]
}}

Announcement: Brand/Logo Icons will be removed in v8 #6602

This includes Android, Apple, ZigBee, Z-Wave, NFC, Black Mesa (oh no, my ~~research~~sandbox icon!), THE HOME ASSISTANT ICON ITSELF!!! and of course many more.

When MDI updates to 8.X, the announcement says they will have relased the 1.X version of the separate Brand Icons library.

When HA goes to update to MDI 8.X, will it bring in the Brand Icons library as well?

First things first: Today Card on GitHub

Why another calendar card?

During overhauling my personal wall tablet dashboard, I wanted to change the display of todays event schedule a little bit, to make it a bit more sleek.

In the past, I was using Calendar Revive for this, which is awesome in itself. However I found the configuration too extensive and the resulting markup way too complex for my custom styling. So I went ahead and created a much more reduced custom card that focusses on a specific use case and makes custom styling a bit easier.

What does it do?

It displays a clear overview of the days remaining schedule. You only need to select one or more calendar entities and you're good to go. Additional config options allow you to change the time format, hide all day events or show past events as well. Colors are configurable. But that's about it.

I intentionally tried to keep the markup and the styling for the card simple, to make it as easy as possible to customize the look to your needs with card-mod.

What else?

Check Today Card out, if you like. And let me know what you think or if you have any questions!

Got a pair of cloudfree electrical switches and on one of them the button seems to be stuck down. A very light touch would toggle the switch. After having them installed my gf told me the light kept going out. Turns out blowing on the switch hard enough would cause it to toggle. Their support is sending me a replacement no questions asked.

I know I'm a total noob compared to probably most of you folks. I've had HA for right at about a month.

In that time, I've set up dashboards for my little 3d print farm. I can monitor and control all the printers and their webcams, keep an eye on air quality with my home grown ESPHome sensors, and kick on my Bento Boxes and air purifiers when printing toxic materials.

I've linked to my Vivint security apparatus and can view all my cameras and relevant sensors (doors, etc) though the doorbell camera is still eluding me at the moment.

My car exposes sensors to its associated app, and there's an integration, so I can see all that stuff on a dashboard.

And I've replaced all the lights in the house with zigbee bulbs. Which leads me to my automation..I just got a few Apollo MTR-1s in the mail today, and set up my first automation to turn lights on and off in certain rooms when they're occupied.

When I started this journey, my biggest wish was to avoid BambuLabs forcing me to lose functionality due to their upcoming firmware security update. But I'm really enjoying getting everything off of cloud services (like Alexa) and onto dashboards where I have more control and easier access with less of my data going to some big business to profit from.

Things to do: Set up Home Assistant Voice (hardware is ordered and should be here this week) as well as a local LLM. Swap out the Vivint doorbell camera with something more HA friendly and set up camera recording with frigate.

My dashboards are pretty utilitarian. But I figure once I get the house working the way I like, I can work on prettying up the UI and strategically placing some fully kisok tablets around the house.

HA is pretty typical for open-source in that it's not user friendly at all. I probably couldn't have done it without all of the intense searching I've done in r/homeassistant. So big thanks to everyone who's posted solutions in here!

Does it mean Home Assistant could be planning to integrate Matter directly into HA instead of a separated Add-on?
