My main @home_assistant instance is "available" on GitHub. You can browse all of the yaml configuration files & automation; see all devices I use, etc.
And it should always be updated on time.
Feel free to copy whatever you need!

Normal people get bird notifications from @BirdfybyNetvue
I get:
“⚠️ Wild boar detected.” 🐗😅

My phone right now:
🤖 Lymow started mowing
🤖 Luba 3 started mowing
🤖 Neomow started mowing
At this point I’m not maintaining a yard anymore.
I’m coordinating autonomous ground operations. 😅

Installed an @BirdfybyNetvue AI bird feeder in the Smart Vineyard.

Less than 4 hours later… first visitors already showed up. 👀🐦

Smart homes can now protect themselves from freezing and water damage. The system automatically cuts power to the water pump, using existing resources to keep your home safe. #SmartHome #TechTips

People think a smart home is just a few sensors and automations…
But once you go beyond that — you’re running a system.
Devices → protocols → network → automation → infrastructure → monitoring

@alphasixtyfive Completely agree. I've reduced voltage until it learns to behave!!!

How do you know it’s time to replace your robot mower blades?
Apparently… a long time ago. 😂

If someone tries to break into your smart home…
would you even notice?
I built a SIEM monitoring system for my smart home using @wazuh + @home_assistant to correlate events across my network, NAS and HA.
The results were… interesting.

@home_assistant 2026.4 just made something very old… suddenly very useful again.

Infrared support is now a first-class citizen in Home Assistant.

That means TVs, AC units and other IR devices can finally join your smart home.

This is how the highway looked today....

[Beardless Tinker 🤣 @BeardedTinker]

Yeah, but I'm also traveling some 400km away to cost... This will be a fun ride..

IKEA quietly entered the Matter over Thread world.
So I connected their new sensors directly to @home_assistant — no hub, no extra apps.
Are they actually good enough for a real smart home?

@marcelcook I've created an Addon for HA - wazuh agent.

[Beardless Tinker 🤣 @BeardedTinker]

My SIEM just caught someone attacking my @home_assistant .
Port 8123 probe → brute force attempt.
Wazuh correlated the logs and flagged the whole attack chain in seconds.
If your smart home isn’t logging this… you’d never know.

@djidji @home_assistant That's what happens if you have an exposed port.

[Beardless Tinker 🤣 @BeardedTinker]

@JohnBeardon @home_assistant That's right - video will be in a few weeks..

[Beardless Tinker 🤣 @BeardedTinker]

@Leroy__pierre @home_assistant Once you see what’s actually hitting your network… it’s hard to go back to not knowing 😅

And by some coincidence, both @ZimaSpace and 3D printed parts for it will be a topic of the next video and one in the near future 😉
