Last week, I successfully broke free from the vendor-locked and rather limited Apple smart home ecosystem and jumped straight into the rabbit hole of Home Assistant, running on a VM inside of my NAS with Zigbee and Bluetooth dongles sticking out of it. If you know what the hell I’m talking about, give me a sad like and share some of your favorite Home Assistant tricks and resources 🤓

@pepelsbey you have my sad like, but I have enough moody computers at work to allow this to proliferate at home ;)

@pepelsbey @matuzo I have manual switches on the wall. I don’t need no automation. Manual switches will not do stupid shit when I don’t need it.

@pepelsbey if you're looking for an even bigger rabbit hole than just homeassistant, The Home Assistant Community Store has all sorts of extra integrations that didn't make it into homeassistants itself

A good first thing to install is the spook integration - while lots of its features are designed for power users (and thus probably overkill for someone who's just getting started), I found that its most useful feature is the "repairs" it raises when you're misconfiguring things on accident - things like using non-existing entities in dashboards or automations.

Have fun!
