Home Assistant is now an option in the official @Raspberry_Pi installer. It's never been easier to get started with a Raspberry Pi 🎉

@tapbot_paul @KrauseFx Can confirm the IKEA stuff works very well with Home Assistant, and there’s many “blueprints” out there that make automating those products easy: https://t.co/24MtVwGGXe The ConBee II and HUSBZB-1 are two of the most popular / recommended USB sticks.

Happy to announce that ESPHome is joining the Nabu Casa umbrella to ensure that the project can continue to flourish as a free and open source project.

@DavidEllis Here's a good and recent comparison video of the pros and cons of each major hub: https://t.co/tiDlRH5K3a

[Sean Mooney @SeanM]

@DavidEllis No problem. Local control makes a big difference in both speed and reliability. I would avoid any hubs that rely on the cloud (like SmartThings does).

You don’t want to be put in a situation where your devices/automations don’t work because of server maintenance or outages.

Google's iOS apps release cycle before & after Apple asks to disclose privacy labels.

Thie pattern is probably just a coincidence. We all know "transparency forms the bedrock of [their] commitment to users"...

@majornelson you use Home Assistant, any chance you can help out with this?

@roborockglobal @CES Will the auto-empty dock be available for older models (S6) or is it exclusive to the new S7?

[Sean Mooney @SeanM]

Always found it weird that these robot vacuums can recognize when they’re on carpets (to increase suction) yet don’t use that same functionality to turn off mopping.

[Roborock @roborockglobal]

PROBLEM: Your robot keeps mopping carpets.
SOLUTION: Find out at CES 2021.

In America, you can be teargassed and shot with rubber bullets for peacefully protesting in front of a church.

But you can literally bust down the doors to the United States Capitol and stroll around while police officers watch.
