I'm still trying to figure out the best approach to capture snapshots at regular intervals using #Frigate and possibly #HomeAssistant from the high resolution stream of a bunch of IP cams. Then down-scale them to a smaller resolution. Then RSYNC them to a remote server. And only retain the last ~100 images per IP cam on the remote server (and do cleanup locally).
Of course I cannot use RSYNC or Image Magick on Frigate because of the way it's installed (in a container in #ProxMox
You know what would be cool... The ability to connect to #HomeAssistant and navigate dashboards as text menus. That'd be cool. I'll note that idea down to look up if someone already made that possible
This is my coffee timer in #HomeAssistant. 4 minutes, for the french press. If I trigger it by the zigbee button by the coffee stuff, it's 3 minutes, 55 seconds, to compensate for holding the button for 5 seconds.
I just really like how it counts how many I've had today. 
ich habe einen homiles Inverter an meiner #Steckersolar Anlage, der seit einigen Tagen nicht mehr in home-assistant gefunden wird. Er ist im WLAN und in der Cloud App kriege ich auch Daten, grundsätzlich funktioniert die Anbindung also, nur in #HomeAssistant nicht. Hat irgendjemand vergleichbare Probleme und eine Idee, wo ich gucken kann? Logs finde ich keine hilfreichen.
Yesterday I noticed that the pool pump wasn't running. I checked the power consumption logs and found it hasn't been running for a few days. This is very bad! High risk of soup pool.
After fixing the issue with the pump, I set up an automation in #homeassistant : At 09:30 every day, check the power consumption of the pump. Send an alert to my phone if it's less than 1.5kW.
All thanks to #foss!
Gonna re-post my guide for anyone with a Mitsubishi Electric split-system Air con from the last 10ish years, on how to integrate it with Home Assistant/ESPHome for $20 with one extremely easy, reversible, safe hardware addition!
I've been running it without issue for 9 months now, and others have successfully followed my process.
https://github.com/echavet/MitsubishiCN105ESPHome/discussions/183
Original post here: https://cathode.church/@s0/113509209574322642
I've used the integration to do stuff like automatically turn off the aircon an hour after I go to sleep, and put an automation so if we leave the house, it'll turn the aircon off in case we forgot. I also built an automation to run it in fan only mode on low for 15 minutes after being on cooling, to evaporate the moisture inside that otherwise leaves to building up mould.
#AddDaemon und #Homeassistant 2025.7.3 scheinen sich nicht zu mögen.
Nach einem Neustart von HA funktioniert Appdaemon für ein paar Minuten und dann bricht die Verbindung zusammen und bleibt auch disfunktional.
Meine #NSPanel sind daher leider im Moment nur auf die Funktion der physischen Buttons eingeschränkt. 
Anyone else having issues with dlna_dmr since HomeAssistant 2025.7.3? It worked fine in .2 but doesn't come up in .3:
Error importing platform config_flow from integration dlna_dmr to set up dlna_dmr configuration entry: Platform dlna_dmr.config_flow not found

By the way, old tablets or phones otherwise destined for the ewaste bin are great for little stuff like this. If it's "new enough" to display an HA dashboard, it'll work great, even if it's too old to run newer apps or go online safely. Since it only needs to reach your #HomeAssistant server on the LAN, you could block it from reaching the internet in your router.
You could also put the artwork in a mardown card like that, and add in the title and stuff by using that same {{ }} but changing out which attribute.
You could make a display for above your stereo with a tablet and a #HomeAssistant dashboard.
If you want to display in #HomeAssistant what's playing on a media player without giving player controls, what you want is the mini-media-player card.
It lets you hide many things, including player name, playback controls, and volume, while still showing titles and what-not, including media art.
If you want to show the media art bigger, and by itself, you want
type: markdown
content: |
<img src="{{states.media_player.whatever_player.attributes.entity_picture}}" width="250" height="auto">
Some fun with #HomeAssistant -
The Playstation status page I put together hides all the cards showing what game I'm playing when I'm not playing a game. But now, if I'm watching on Plex, it shows what I'm watching. If I'm using Spotify on my PS5, it shows what I'm listening to.
Complete with cover art or media poster.

Es git auf jeden Fall Menschen hier, die #HomeAssistant im Auto laufen haben.
It's crazy how locked down #HomeAssistant OS is. Even with advanced terminal installed, I can't install anything. I want to use Image Magick to automatically resize images but noooooope.
And the terminal is in a separate container from where scripts are executed by automation so even if I could install the package successfully in the terminal, I couldn't use it as part of an automation 
Here's a crazy thought... I think I don't actually have a strong #HomeAssistant use case with #Frigate. I can achieve the same results (capture snapshots from IP cameras every few minutes, resize the snapshots, and sync them to a remote server via RSYNC) using a headless #Debian install.
I'd still have Frigate running for fun, recording, and providing a security feed. But I wouldn't be reliant on Frigate to take snapshots.

Molto soddisfatto dei miei #Broadlink RM4 con sensore della temperatura.
Dopo neanche un mesetto ho dei bei grafici su #HomeAssistant che mi fanno vedere come vanno le temperature nelle tre stanze dove li ho messi, e ho già capito l'effetto di determinate azioni
Prossimi step:
- aggiungere ai grafici anche la temperatura esterna per capire quando aprire le finestre
- automatizzare l'accensione dei condizionatori in casi estremi (temperature alte, gatti in casa senza umani)
