I was getting a bit antsy when I didn't see your content for a bit, happy to hear from you again !

How about Home Assistant Assistant? It could have a separate landing page called Home (Home Assistant Assistant Home.)

Hey, I love the Oral-B integration - use it to trigger a dashboard on my nest display in the bathroom when I start brushing my teeth!

Thanks, thats a really timely tutorial. I have a new Philips Hue Bluetooth bulb which works fine in Google Home but I couldn't add it to HA (which wanted a Philips Hue Hub). I really like the "Send text command" interface which means I can easily use amy of my working Google Home voice commands without more work in GH.

I vote to use the word Butler somehow. Home Assistant Butler?

[Lauch-Melder]

Just installed Home Assistant a couple of days ago, coming from Home Bridge. I'm still amazed. :D

Love to see more going on with voice this release! I'm excited for what this year's going to bring. Also love the LTT shirt!

[Weeem]

Wow .. .you got to 133k subs pretty quickly after hitting 100k just a couple of months ago :)

Good one buddy, I am excited to see the Siri direct integration, however my current work around to use Siri Voice commands is to create IOS shortcuts and HASS Bridge, which works really well

Great video...

Kindly do a video tutorial on how to connect a Bluetooth speaker with Homeassistant OS or Homeassistant Supervised and stream music to bluetooth speaker using mpd.
Regards
Neha

What’s the difference between the new “Sensor Groups” and the existing “Combine the state of several sensors”? I have a number of them set up now for getting mix/max average temperatures.

*edit* found answer on HA site:
Options for hiding member entities and ignore sensors that currently are not in a numeric state. Likely will replace the older min/max in the future as well

I've just started buying a few bits and bobs to actually finally start using Home Assistant so seeing new features still coming in is a great thing for me.
Still waiting on the case for my Pi4 and SSD and I should be able to start.
Some great features coming to :D

The sentences are gonna get a Swear Blueprint. “Assist turn on the lights” “I Turned the Fudging lights on”

[RobinXe]

Great clip choice!

"Oh didja aye?" 😄

[christiaang]

I love the template free sensor precision!

[BillyDickson]

Looking forward to moving onto Home Assistant, just as soon as I can buy a Raspberry Pi CM for my newly delivered Home Assistant Yellow POE.

Might manage to buy an affordable one later this year. Fingers crossed 🤣

Kitchen Sink - Anyone interested in a face detection + Kitchen Dirty/Clean state detection integration so that alexa announces "Zoe, please clean the dishes you left in the kitchen 16 minutes ago".

[brianh.]

I don't see the precision field on any sensor any applying the February update. I even rebooted the RPi and still don't see it. I cannot figure out what is wrong.

[ELIKESBIKES]

Anybody being able to the workaround of Apple iCloud not working after you enable Advance Data Projection. Mine stop working. I know I could disable "Advance Data Projection" but would rather not

[Shultc]

I don't see ability to change precision. Is it working only on some type of sensors? Or it is not in release version at all?
