themesof.net VS Home Assistant

This is a good one, though it's more vague then a typical roadmap https://themesof.net/

Right, so, if we're going to talk about unreleased, future features, then I have a little roadmap here to show you.

The dotnet team at least does use it in a number of stuff. Tye's dashboard UI uses Blazor server, and if I recall some parts of MS docs uses Blazor WASM to evaluate C# code in the browser. dotnet live and https://themesof.net/ uses Blazor server as well.

What you call "meme", I call .NET appeals to net-new developers, students, and new technologists, which is one of the Themes of .NET, which guide the platform, languages, and tooling roadmap.

There’s more information on the plans, changes, and challenges encountered with the current .NET 6 development on Microsoft’s Themes of .NET.

Home Assistant can cast dashboard/media/etc to your display and has shopping lists. https://www.home-assistant.io/

If you provided MQTT support like plenty of IoT companies do, then any open source home automation tool can integrate! Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/) have a grading system, so a local-first implementation would give you their highest score since they also really care about privacy. https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2016/02/12/classifying-th...

Home Assistant

Next, I needed to wire this up to my home speakers and play a sound familiar to Max. In the before times of not watching live animals outside, Max liked it when I'd play some bird videos on YouTube for him and they would all start with the same "chirp" sound. He knew this sound meant bird watching time. So I downloaded the video, extracted the audio, then split the chirp out into a custom 4 second .mp3 and stored it on my local Home Assistant instance which was already integrated with my Google Nest speakers. Luckily, Home Assistant's API is pretty friendly, but the docs definitely suck. Once I added the .mp3 file onto my Raspberry Pi where Home Assistant is hosted, I was able to trigger the sound to play on my speakers with this simple request to its REST API:

Home Assistant https://www.home-assistant.io/

It's a quite powerful tool to integrate a variety of different smart home devices into one location and share them between ecosystems.

I have a wifi thermostat that requires a dedicated app and does not allow for Apple Home integration. With Home Assistant I installed an integration for that thermostat, then shared it with the Apple Home bridge (also an integration) and quickly was able to allow my iphone/automations etc, to modify the thermostat. And that's only scratching the surface and something that took a few minutes.
