DIY Smart home project: Presence-activated lights
I also recently began to use Home Assistant. Think of it as an open-source and more powerful alternative to Google Home/Amazon Alexa/Apple HomeKit/Samsung SmartThings. With those vendor platforms, you're limited to what they support. With Home Assistant, you can build your own setups and connect things as you wish, whether it's totally DIY or consumer-ready products from vendors.

How I Use Home Assistant in 2025
https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/requirements... lists all the direct dependencies installed in the container.
It's enough for just a single direct or indirect dependency to be compromised to have a botnet or turn it into something used for surveillance against the users.
Preventing it from exfiltrating data by isolating it from the network with Internet access is the only option if you want to run it. This requires local only devices.
Accessing it through the web UI or through the mobile app will still load icons from https://brands.home-assistant.io. The details are in this ticket https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/18549

Why Home Assistant?
This time, I attended Monitoring your home, with DevOps observability tools. I thought it would be about OpenTelemetry for your home. After the speaker mentioned Home Assistant, however, I didn't pay much attention to the rest.

AWS open source newsletter, #204
ha-aws-cost is a project from Diego Marques for folks who use Home Assistant (a very popular open source home automation system), and provides custom component interacts with AWS to get the month to date cost and forecast cost and make it available on Home Assistant. It adds two new entities 1/Month to date cost: The current cost of your AWS account, and 2/Forecasted month costs: The forecasted cost based in your current consumption. Check out Diego's post on LinkedIn that provides some more background to this project.

Busy Status Bar from Flipper Devices
Nice!
For a home-rolled solution, I use a GE CYNC ST19 Edison Style bulb in a socket right outside my office door. I have it configured through Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/), and then use Hammerspoon (https://www.hammerspoon.org/) on my macbook to make an API call to Home Assistant when the camera state changes.
If my camera turns on/off, so does the light bulb. Works really well for letting my family know I'm busy in meetings.
