New blogpost: "Adding a button to Home Assistant to run a shell command"
I added a button to Home Assistant to control my garage door controller, so that I could add it as a widget on my phone.
Documenting it for future me :)

My experience with @homeassistant has been a disaster.
I welcome any guidance or tips for achieving smart light bliss in a mixed Android and iPhone home, including alternatives to Home Assistant if they might serve my use case better.
Ah god this van conversion thing is too much. It's like doing an apartment conversion but way WAY nerdier and simultaneously so much smaller in scale. I can see so many opportunities for wiring, sensors, and Home Assistant. #VanLife #HomeAutomation #HomeAssistant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKw3_nrjL9U

So I got a buderus #heatpump and the mobile app is _quite_ limited, also not possible to access data via any open protocol 🙄
So I bought an ems-esp gateway from https://bbqkees-electronics.nl.
It gets power via the bus connection (3,5mm jack, _one_ cable), then I just had to set up the network connection and #mqtt to make everything appear in #homeassistant.
Mind blown, best experience for quite some time.
And you can make it only read from the bus, so no worries to misconfigure something.
Picked up a new robot vacuum and it's remarkable the progress these make every few years. Some of my favorite tech, period
@christianselig It's well worth checking out https://valetudo.cloud/ Dreame vacuums are well-supported.
TL;DR: It runs a FOSS version of the cloudy stuff directly on the robot, so you can block the cloud connection and lose no (local) functionality. I'm running it on a roborock and it's a game-changer. Local integration to #homeassistant? Yes please.
@scottjenson
It has been a while, but I remember there was a device you could mount while instantiating your docker container that allows various Python scripts to access the GPU. I did it while playing with ollama for a hackday project 3 or 4 years ago.
@nikatjef Yeah, I'm SURE there a way to make it work. I'm very new to this and the general (maybe unfair) rule I'm learning is "things don't run well in docker". (I mean of course some things run great but....)
I had the same issue with Home Assistant, I wanted to run that in CasaOS but my #HomeAssistant friends were "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" (which I now thank them profusely)
Ich bin ja sehr gespannt auf den #PaperlessPaper #OpenPaper7 den finde ich für in #Leipzig Hand gemacht vom Preis her OK ist natürlich auch kleiner aber zum probieren reicht mir das. Außerdem regt der mit API und opensource Ansatz mehr den Spieltrieb an. Ich hoffe ich bekomme ihn in #HomeAssistant integriert

Zu viel CO2 führt u.a. Müdigkeit und Konzentrationsproblemen. Dank @leah besitze ich nun zwei CO2-Messgeräten, die billig und genau sind: Nebeneinander zeigen sie nur 20-50ppm Abweichung. Die »TFA Dostmann AirControl Mini« kosten bei Amazon und Pollin aktuell ~30€.

Dank https://github.com/irimitenkan/CO2MqttSensor hab ich #HomeAssistant jetzt ne 5min-Stoßlüften-Erinnerung 🥳
