This is going to sound really pants to some of you who are well experianced in HA but im quite happy with myself!

I have been toying with Ha for a month or so. Added the basics like my boiler, google homes, a few this party sensors, my Car etc.

I have worked on for the last few days trying to get my Google home to report back the pollen levels for me ( I get really bad hayfever!) and tonight I finally got it working Via a script and automation in the google home app!

I will admit i have used ChatGPT to help me but I can still be proud right? Also my wife rolled her eyes when I told her 🤣

I can share my Ymal if anyone wants to see it?

Ive been using HA for a good 4-5 years now and thought I managed to find my way around most things...but something had bugged me for ages...but Ive finally worked it out.

I have a number of dumb switches made smart with relays behind those switches that turn smart lights on/off but with the actual switch itself is detached so the power isn't cut to the smart bulbs and the input boolean being the one to control the lights, mainly via Node-Red but it also works via HA native automations.

So all of these lights work fine but of course I had issues when I wanted to launch said light from a dashboard...as I was controlling these entitiies directly

So I bought a vibration sensor with grand dreams of being notified the moment my dryer has finished its majestic cycle. Sadly, it turns out my dryer is about as emotionally expressive as a brick...barely any vibration, and now I’m left holding a lonely, unemployed sensor. Instead of tossing it in the junk drawer of shame, I figured I’d turn to you brilliant folks.

What’s the weirdest, most creative, or surprisingly useful way you’ve used a vibration sensor in your setup?

Bonus points if it involves pets, revenge, or something my spouse will side-eye but secretly appreciate. Hit me with your best ideas! Save my sensor! TIA

[Edit] The dryer sensing issue has

Hey everyone!

I'm a really forgetful person, and honestly I've been having trouble remembering to log my hours at work. A "brilliant" home automation idea came to my mind, and I've decided to learn how to build a custom integration, and well, write about it.

Any feedback is appreciated, and I've also linked the repositories at the end of the post, the Clockify integration is not so useful, while the DeepSeek one I'm sure you can fit somewhere into your smart home :).

I've had this automation running for about a month, and its hilarious. Amuses every visitor I get, and knocks down my ego a few pegs every time I come home. You can of course adjust the "spice level" of the responses by tweaking the instructions prompts.

Prerequisites:

• Camera
• Motion sensor or more advanced person detection sensor
• A speaker
• Door opened sensor
• OpenAI and/or Google Gemini API token (I found Gemini better, but its heavy rate limited so I use both). You can also use a local model.
• LLM vision plugin
• Quality TTS platform with natural sounding voices (I use ElevenLabs) as this works a lot better when the AI doesn't sound like a robot

Something took my raspberry pi down and now I have to turn all my basement lights on manually, Siri won’t adjust my nest thermostat, my Lutron pico remotes won’t control my outlets and my curtains won’t open at dawn. This is kinda rough to be honest. Is there a way to setup a backup failover host?
