This single-step Apple Shortcut is a GAME CHANGER. No more going to Settings -> Apps -> and then finding the app.

Just swipe from Control Center, run the shortcut, and you're automatically redirected!

Home Assistant community at its best. 😂
Q: “Can I check @home-assistant.io installs in my hometown?”
A: “Sure… just declare independence first.”

Screenshot of a Reddit post, where you see a map of San Marino and 19 installations. There is a comment thread where someone asks "That's neat, how can I check my own hometown?" And another user replies "Make it into a country".

Are there too many smart home standards out there? In this month's newsletter, we peek into why there isn't one standard that fits all.

Check out the pros and cons of the biggest standards, and why we built our latest Z-Wave hardware, along with much more 👇🏼

#Newsletter #SmartHome
Why isn't there one standard?
We explore why supporting multiple open smart home standards is better than having just one, highlighting the launch of the new Connect ZWA-2.

A while back I talked about the @home-assistant.io missile switch I made, but I never showed it. So here we go… this exists only because I wanted to have this ridiculous, over the top, oldschool switch in my home. It controls nothing, but I just enjoy seeing the state change 😅

That so smart!

Suggestion, make it into a random Easter egg trigger. For example, 10 seconds of disco mode, countdown from 10 that ends in an unsatisfying party blower sound, things like this.

He, I’m going to make that. Thanks sharing!
