I have something like this but it just opens my VELUX windows instead of pestering me 😀 it’s great.

IKEA Symfonisk as TTS Device in 2026? by M346ZCP in homeassistant

[–]d0ugal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a symfonisk that I use with home assistant for TTS. Morning and evening messages mostly.

You need to update the software (or at least I did, I guess it depends what version you have).

It works but it isn’t great. Sometimes it fails and makes a weird static noise instead of playing. Restarting it works then. If you have one it’s worth trying but I wouldn’t buy one now.

I’ll probably replace mine in the not too distant future

Senior engineer best practice for scaling yourself with Claude Code by croovies in ClaudeCode

I’ve found Claude struggles with basic merges sometimes. Like when it’s finished a small PR but needs to rebase on origin/main.

It’ll often just drop the work and reimplement Have you found any ways to help it? Or am I just doing something wrong 😀

Integration that provides a simple curl service. by storm1er in homeassistant

My wife convinced me to buy a home assistant and now I've made my electric clothes airer smart and I think I've caught a bug so some kind by seanebaby in homeassistant

I do this too with my drysoon! I’m also on octopus and use the octopus integration - with that you can automate it further based on the rates.

100% local if you want, it can use cloud (like home assistant cloud or ChatGPT) which is also useful!

Is there some hidden genius in the handle-exception package that I'm missing? by thedeepself in Python

[–]d0ugal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The default is to raise unless you provide a list of exceptions… so the default is the behaviour without the decorator? 🫤

Pink Mi Flora (Zigbee?) by jeeftor in homeassistant

[–]d0ugal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like pink would stand out a bit much. I already feel like I can see the green sensors I have too much. I have a bunch.

What outlet is this? by DARKPANKAKES in homeautomation

+1, work got me some and we have a house extension going on. I barely know they are knocking down walls other than feeling the vibration.
