I’m actually so stuck on Andrej excitedly sharing this seemingly-impressive use of AI, which actually recapitulates tons of existing work to create new and exciting security issues. Any human engineer would have been like, idk dude just use Home Assistant

If you want to impress friends and family this Christmas, host a Sendspin party! More info at github.com/sendspin/sen... Or quickly start a party from the command line uvx sendspin serve retro.dancewave.online/retrodance.mp3

With the Open Home Foundation we keep pushing to make things more open, even if that means that we have to do the hard work re-inventing things from the ground up to ensure it is accessible to all. If you use Music Assistant or make music hardware/software, want to help test our new standard?

Nabu Casa was just the first commercial partner of the Open Home Foundation. Today, we got a second. Apollo will steward the ESPHome brand and will work with OHF on amazing ESPHome products!

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

This kind of BS is why I left iOS for Android earlier this year (and pre-ordered the Pebble Time!). We need platforms that allow anyone to innovate, not just the creator.

Chamberlain blocks smart home integrations with its garage door openers — again

there's a certain personality that's very debilitating in modern life. 100 years ago, if you wanted to buy something, you'd go to five local shops and decide. now with the internet, you need to spend 1,000 hours so you can own the best version in the world like you're some venetian patrician

Super happy to see the NYTimes cover the fight to have users take back control of their own devices. (And RATGDO is powered by our ESPHome!)

Every time you throw out a device or hire lawyers for divorce, it is "good" for the economy and makes us more "productive". Our happiness, time and planet are not captured in how good the economy does. It prefers we are busy shoveling garbage than living life. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/h...

look at this sexy video LOOK AT IT then go look at the SEXIER WEBSITE anyway i'm really proud of my team, we're fucking amazing 🤗
