De HomeWizard Plug-In Battery is een thuisaccu met stekker: je steekt hem in een stopcontact, zonder gedoe in de meterkast. Werkt in elke gewone wandcontactdoos. #Tweakers

This single-step Apple Shortcut is a GAME CHANGER. No more going to Settings -> Apps -> and then finding the app.

Just swipe from Control Center, run the shortcut, and you're automatically redirected!

tip: Spotify verhoogt de prijzen voor Family-abonnementen van 17,99 met 4 euro (!) naar 21,99.

Als je de oude prijs wil blijven betalen, kun je je Family-abonnement omzetten naar het nieuwe 'Basic Family' (vrijwel hetzelfde). Dat doe je hier: www.spotify.com/nl/account/s...

I’ve modified a spare IKEA button with Zigbee for this 😱, sends short and long presses to HA. Great idea!

I somehow really needed this, now I need some idea what hitting the button actually does…

🎬 Spent my Saturday evening deep in video editing… 📺

This is totally new to me, and wow—there’s a LOT that goes into making a YouTube video. Did I do it right? No idea 😅

Hint: home battery + Home Assistant ⚡🔋

It drops tomorrow—curious to hear what you think! 👀

I contributed at least one of the 1,583 PRs in Home Assistant 2025.2! 🎉 Added support for the new HomeWizard Plug-In Battery 🔋 (www.homewizard.com/nl/plug-in-b...). Was really fun to get this product implemented!

Got my hands on the HomeWizard ⚡️ Plug-In Battery! 🔋

Apparently, I can just unpack it and plug it into an outlet. 🔌 It should connect to my energy meter and @home-assistant.io right away.

Can’t wait to put it to the test! 👨‍🔬
