  Great (and fun!) video by Paul about how easy it is to get AI to help you build your smart home. Shout out to Magnus Overli, creator of the OpenCode app fully pre-configured for Home Assistant. Installs in minutes! This is the true power of an open platform. The true power of our community. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-FZ4ZjGI5E

  With the right skills, AI is great at finding vulnerabilities. Sentry developed Warden to automate this, and used Home Assistant as a test bed. Our admin/user role split has been a work in progress for years, and Warden just flagged all the places we missed. Neat! https://cra.mr/finding-vulnerabilities-with-warden https://cra.mr/finding-vulnerabilities-with-warden

  This is me at State of the Open Home last year and this year. After years of struggling with my weight, Zepbound (GLP-1 / tirzepatide) helped me take control and lose 30kg in 7 months. I feel better and have more energy than I had in years. If you're struggling with weight and can afford it, I highly recommend it.

  I got access to GitHub CoPilot Workspace and … wow. For my first try, I went to the @homeassistant website repository and created a new task: "Add to the homepage that Home Assistant is part of the @openhomefoundation. It starts with turning your task (or issue) into a specification of the problem.
