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

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.

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?

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.

Your homelab isn’t real until it yells at you.
Wazuh just flagged Synology DSM login failures.
1 Critical. 41 Medium. Security score: 40%.
Observability > blind trust.
Garage-built SIEM. Data-center mindset.

Homelab? No.
This is garage-grade infrastructure.
@ZimaSpace ZimaBoard 2 ZimaBlade in a custom 3D-printed rack.
Structured airflow. Modular bays. Deterministic layout.
@home_assistant upgrade Wazuh node online.
No thermal roulette. No cable entropy.

Running SIEM inside home network for just over 24h. And with only 2 (TWO) data-sources added...
This is interesting experience and will be a great future video
.
Who knows, maybe one day we will be able to hook @home_assistant to it too... 😉 (audit log maybe?)

Would be great if we would have following events logged (properly): auth.login_success, auth.login_failed, user.created, user.deleted, user.role_changed, config_entry.created, config_entry.deleted, system.started...

And structured as JSON events something like this:
{
"ts": "2026-02-23T07:12:03.123Z",
"type": "auth.login_success",
"actor_user_id": "beardedtinke",
"ip": "1.2.3.4",
"user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0..."
}
