Important question: when moving a smart home, do you change the custom voice (new house=new voice) or keep the old one (same server=same voice)?

Assume your setup allows for infinite custom voices

Second round, this time the #HomeAssistant on my #RaspberryPi4 - I still had a 32-bit install and it was time to migrate. Support ends this year and #ESPHome already couldn't be updated any more.
It was relatively easy - create a #backup on old system, boot a new install and select #restore on the setup page.
It took a while to restore everything, and I got impatient, but after around 30 minutes it was finished and everything like before.

I am still impressed with that proper AI can do. I was hitting my head against the wall trying to format data (printf-like stuff) in esphome lambda's, like the display components supports. And after spending a minute to properly prompt an AI, it understood #homeassistant, #esphome yaml syntax, and the C-context lambda's are in. It found the function i needed, and surrounded it with a setup and return. Even in niche situations it is now an invaluable tool. #domotica #homeautomation #ai

#Apple should never have gone with the LLM hype and should've focussed on #HomeAutomation. #LLM is a bubble which will burst, but should it actually turn out something useful in 10-20 yrs? An Apple which had focusses on home automation would've been in the ideal situation to actually make it do something useful.
