Built a smart chore + reward system in Home Assistant using the Chores 4 Kids integration 🧹✨

Color-changing lights, reminders, progress tracking, and even console unlock time 🎮

Works for kids… and maybe adults too 😂

Video is live now 🎥

My smart home celebrates goals & races! 🏟️⚙️

Using Home Assistant + Team Tracker, I built automations that announce matches, dim lights for F1, and throw a light party when my team wins.

Watch how it all works 🎬

Sorry, no new videos (except scheduled shorts) for some time, time to recharge the batteries and get even more energetic than before.
And there are tons of exciting things arriving soon 😉

Been testing the Hookii Neomow X for months — and it’s shockingly good.
Fully autonomous, no buried wires, even cuts at night, and I've integrated it, sorta, with Home Assistant .

Just shared my full review 👇

Now this is a real help - at least part of the outdoor work will be done automatically in future.

What's so special with this camera image?
Besides been taken from within @home-assistant.io via Reolink internal integration - this is image (and stream) from battery powered camera!
Something that was not that easy to get previously...
Video out on Friday!

🎙️ NEW video is out - let's look at SwitchBot K10+ Pro Combos and see 2 vacuums in 1 small footprint combo.
Was it good idea to pack everything in "one" device?

Strange that Sonos speaker stops working when the battery dies. You can't even run it off of a USB cable.
But replacing the battery isn't that hard.
