I consider building a paid Home Assistant add-on that helps you create automations using AI, specifically trained for this purpose. Just describe what you want, and it generates the YAML for you. Would this make your smart home setup easier? Let me know! #HomeAssistant

I received my #homeassistant voice PE on the last day of 2024. Setting it up was an absolute breeze! I'm very happy with the device. Do have a wishlist for voice features in HA itself though. But I'm sure the team is working very hard on all kind of improvements. Thank you @home-assistant.io!

Family tech support:

What could be the reason why ebay no longer works on my phone? The screen is a bit darker, and nothing I type works. Everything else works fine. I find this strange because now I can no longer place bids via my phone.

5 minutes later: nvm

Ordered #homeassistant 's new voice hardware within minutes of launch yesterday! Been waiting for a privacy-focused voice control solution for so long, while keeping Google and Amazon out of the door. Hoping it arrives before Christmas! 🏠🎙️

8+ years into home automation and I STILL get child-like joy when a light turns on automatically. 🤖

Motion sensor → hallway light
No switch. No thought. Pure magic. ✨

Tech isn't just function. It's tiny moments of delight.

Still don’t know how to feel about AI compliments 😅

I created a #homeassistant WTH issue that seems to be controversial. Do you think a new (additional) way of thinking about, and defining, automations would benefit @home-assistant.io users? Vote here: community.home-assistant.io/t/wth-cant-w...

Just learned an interesting lesson about home automation. Grandparents came to babysit, and our smart home system left them shivering. Home Assistant automatically turned off the heating because we weren't home. 🏠❄️

In doubt about buying more #smarthome gear this #BFCM? Pro tip: check with your partner first. They have an uncanny ability to spot unnecessary tech spending from a mile away. 😞

Honestly now, does #HomeAssistant save or cost you time? 😅

My favorite smart home device? My robot vacuum—it saves so much time and cleans places I’d never get to! How often do you manually vacuum under your double bed? #Roborock #SmartHome #HomeAutomation
