Well, jailbreak applied. Can't get SSH working on it yet (because it is late and I am tired).
But it is old enough that the DRM can easily be stripped off any legitimately purchased books.
So, for the few authors who insist on *only* releasing on Kindle, I can now read on my other devices.
Not bad for a night's fiddling.
@Edent I bought one recently to use as a passive display for #HomeAssistant but I reached the same stage as you, jailbroken but nothing more.
I'll get there in the end!
Big news from today's @homeassistant live stream: April 8 is the date of this year’s State of the Open Home — an annual event where we highlight what’s new and what’s coming next for our projects.
Mark your calendars – more details coming soon!
It's important that the Works with Home Assistant program is always transparent. So today, we're announcing the formal removal of HELTUN from the program.

Man, was doing some light investigation around smart garage door openers, as might consider replacing our old openers when getting insulated doors... and see that Chamberlain are still raging assholes. Sheesh. Probably eventually do genie wall mounts... want something I can without too much fuss get integrated into HA.

Wow, impressed with Yunohost!
I nearly gave up trying to install Home Assistant on my fedora server, struggling to understand docker containers, images, compose.yaml yadayadayada.
With Yunohost I had it up and running in a few clicks. Love it!
Via de API van #Mastodon houd ik met #HomeAssistant het aantal volgers in de gaten en deze maand zijn er toch wel een aantal bijgekomen.

I've had another two of these Arlec PC191HA smart plugs fail. What compact (doesn't cover the neighbouring socket) smart plugs is everyone in Australia using? Needs to be #HomeAssistant compatible. Can be ZigBee, Wifi or my first foray into Matter.
After 6 weeks away, I've come home to all my smarthome tech working fine.
Except #HomeAssistant!
I can get into into its virsh shell, it appears to be updated and running. It is advertising an IP, which I can see on my router, but none of the apps/web will connect to it.
A reboot hasn't fixed it either. Oh well, that's what weekends are for, I guess…
Well, the "good" news is that other people also have this problem with #HomeAssistant
@Edent Ping homeassistant.local - possible the apps are hardcoded to hit that rather than the IP?
@woe2you OK, I can get to the #HomeAssistant observer at http://homeassistant.local:4357/ but not the service itself on :8123.

Home Assistant 2026.1 🥂
Home dashboard improvements 🏡, easier navigation to protocol dashboards 🔎, and ESPHome action responses are just a few of the small but important changes this release. 😎

Neato Saugroboter mit ESP32 und Home Assistant weiter nutzen
https://stadt-bremerhaven.de/neato-saugroboter-mit-esp32-und-home-assistant-weiter-nutzen/
> Besitzer von Saugrobotern des Herstellers Neato stehen vor dem Problem der Server-Abschaltung, was die smarten Funktionen der Geräte quasi nutzlos macht. Wer seinen Roboter nicht entsorgen und durch ein teures Neugerät ersetzen möchte, findet im Open-Source-Projekt neato-connected einen interessanten Ausweg, das allerdings einiges an Wissen erfordert.
Parts arrived yesterday and now we have a smart soy light!

Is #Zigbee still a thing?
If I was to invest in #HomeAutomation (thermostat and sockets mainly), which protocol should I choose?
It should be local only ( #HomeAssistant) and work even when the server is down.
@thiccpaws
Of course, #zigbee is still a (big) thing. We have 50+ routers and end devices in use.
Tons of devices available for very little money. In particular if you buy them on Aliexpress etc
Great integration into #homeassistant using #zigbee2mqtt
