Installed the Nuki Smart Lock Pro 5 today. It’s an awesome lock! I’m amazed by the difference compared to the 4 Pro—it’s smaller, faster, and has great build quality. And of course, seamless integration with @home-assistant.io with to Matter over Thread.

There is an article going around that ESP32 chips have a backdoor. It's an undocumented software API. If you are writing code for the ESP32, you can run more commands. It doesn't allow anyone from the outside to just access what's going on in the chip. The use of the word "backdoor" was clickbait 🫤

Thanks, Wendell, for these kind words and for recognizing our work!

Perfect timing to put this setup to the test! Next week, @jlpouffier.fr and I will be conducting a series of user tests to validate new automation editor designs for @home-assistant.io. Excited to share our findings, more on this soon!

I got this webcam mount for better “eye contact.” It attaches to the screen with a magnet, pretty wild! So far, I’m impressed. Curious to see how it performs during user interviews.

DeepSeek jailbreak

All you key strokes. Stored in China. Deepseek AI should have no place in the EU

They might want to send Alexa back to language school 😂 (In Dutch, an egg fried sunny side up is called a ‘spiegel ei’ - literally a mirror egg. But obviously, that is about as wrong as you can translate it…)

Bedankt 🇳🇱!

I can say that my #m5stack paper universal controller to control my home using Home Assistant thought MQTT commands is fully operational 😊

Tesla Fleet in #HomeAssistant 2025.1 requires users to register their own developer application, which requires hosting a public key on a unique domain. To make this easier I have created fleetkey.cc with @cloudflare.social Pages, Workers, and KV. It lets anyone host their pubkey for free.

Tomorrow, I’ll be live with a few my Nabu Casa colleagues to talk about the latest @home-assistant.io release. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCd7...
