In my latest video, I tackled one of life’s great dilemmas: how to make your home look smart enough that visitors forgive the mess.
Solution? A printed QR code that triggers a Home Assistant webhook to let people in. No app. No login. Just scan and go. I tested it with my mum — and let’s just say, she was impressed... after the third attempt 😅

Covered in the video:
- How to create and test HA webhooks
- Generating custom QR codes
- Embarrassing real-world guest trials 🧼
So I’m curious — are people here using QR codes to call webhooks? It feels slick and guest-friendly, but wondering how well it works in the wild. Any cool setups or stories?
Let’s trade notes. Bonus points for mum-proof automations.
