PhilipHey Home Assistant people, Should I put HA on its own dedicated box or is it okay to put on my existing server, using Docker? The access it needs makes me think it's a Bad Idea to share space with it.<a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a>

badambassadorToday I discovered that <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> has an <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/adguard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adguard</a> server available as a community add on.So I now have a fully functioning ad blocker to replace my creaking pi hole, with the added benefit that it supports encrypted DNS out of the box. And I can repurpose my Pi 4 for other exciting projects...

AndrewAnother AliExpress purchase, a GL.iNet GL-S20 Thread Border Router that's PoE powered and is Open Thread Border Router API compatible. I'm avoiding USB devices into docker containers and Amazon/Google/Apple as border routers so this fitted the bill. Has dedicated instructions on their website to get it working with <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> which worked seamlessly. An EVE motion sensor is connected and working as a test until I get more devices.

EvanSend me your hot takes on PIR sensors or other room presence detection options for <a href="https://social.lol/tags/homeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeAssistant</a> I made the "mistake" of getting 2 Everything Presence Lite's (<a href="https://shop.everythingsmart.io/products/everything-presence-lite" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://shop.everythingsmart.io/products/everything-presence-lite</a>) and my partner has mentioned a few times that she now gets frustrated when she walks into rooms in our house and the lights don't automatically turn on.I want to finish the in-room detection coverage for the house for her birthday and would like to know if that's "best in class" or if something else is?

BastianWir haben hier zu Hause noch relativ viele <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amazon</a> Echos im Einsatz.

Franck NijhofOn the train back to my smart home 🏠 The State of the Open Home 2025 is a wrap! 🎬We now have over 2,000,000 Home Assistant installations! Amazing, huh?

Hobbyblogging.deMein Umzug zu Home Assistant hat mich gelehrt: Den Komfort des Smart Homes schätzt man erst, wenn man erst mal alles neu aufsetzen muss! 😅 Wie habt ihr euren Umstieg zu einem neuen System erlebt?

AlexWell that's two <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/matter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#matter</a> lightbulbs connected via <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> without having to mess around with other apps or cloud accounts. The only wrinkle is that for some reason (<a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/playservices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#playservices</a>?) I need the <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/playstore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#playstore</a> version of the companion app. Otherwise I'm sold on it for future home automation devices.

Yehor 🇺🇦Realized I’m not really interested in <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> anymore. I’m tired of maintaining it and trying to make a new “perfect” dashboard once in several months just to realize I can do better with other set of custom cards and scripts… Looks like it’s not my hobby anymore. I want something rock solid like <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/SynologyNAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SynologyNAS</a>, for example. I’m happy with <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/PhilipsHue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PhilipsHue</a> lights because it doesn’t require to carefully read release notes of every update. It just works. I’m planning to try <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AppleHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AppleHome</a> and <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/HomeBridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeBridge</a>.Thanks <a href="https://mastodon.social/@pax0707" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@pax0707</a>!<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/smarthome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smarthome</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/hobby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hobby</a>

Miroslav Stankic<a href="https://techhub.social/@estevez" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@estevez</a> IF you’re in the Apple ecosystem Apple TV is an apostle no-brainer. Such a QOL upgrade over anything else. And a decent smarthome hub. That + <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeBridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeBridge</a> can get decently close to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> for most users.

Bodo TascheAir purifiers that can be used with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> for a bedroom of 20m2. Which one can you recommend?

Ryan WildI've finally gotten around to unboxing my <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/raspberrypi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#raspberrypi</a> that I've had for a while now but never got around to doing anything with. Hoping this weekend to get my extra screen mounted on my office wall so I can get my home camera system on it for while I'm in here and in the future it'll be a <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> dashboard of some sort
