First newsletter sent. 🚀 I’m genuinely proud of that one. Not because it is perfect, but because I actually shipped it. If it landed in your inbox, I’d love to hear what you think. Now I’m going to pretend I’m calm and normal about this.

Templating has felt like homework for too long in @home_assistant 😅 I reworked the docs with one goal: make them more approachable. Every function has its own page now, with real examples and a searchable error index. Live now: home-assistant.io/docs/templ…

Just got pitched an "AI-Powered NAS" - sounds absolutely terrifying. How long before a product not having AI is considered a feature? I think it might already be for me..

I'm preaching to the choir here, and it will never make YouTube change, but can I just say how much I *despise* a shorts carousel now being the top spot of my Subscriptions feed in the YouTube app—and it can't be disabled, even if I tap the dots and say 'don't show this'?

Home Assistant has released their latest product - a fantastic Z-Wave antenna/controller. I migrated from a 2018 usb stick to this new antenna that has LR capability and a much larger coverage area. Take a look here: youtu.be/YB6cgW7bVts

👻 Spook just got way smarter It now understands the powerful magic of templates in Home Assistant! 🧙‍♂️ Spook can raise repair issues if it spots unknown entities hiding inside your clever automations. Still testing… but it’s looking scary good 😊 Coming soon: spook.boo 👻 #HomeAssistant
