Has anyone had any experience integrating mmWave human detection into products, and is there any scary stuff I should know re EMC / RED testing?
I expect this will fall into the "intentional radiator" category, and thus require some radio testing, but are they generally well behaved or a nightmare to work with?
I've found a 24 GHz bare-board option from Waveshare which is comparable in cost to the PIR sensor it would be replacing...

Sick of my smart home not being smart.
Lights/tv/music in empty rooms should turn off without any input. Some of those should turn on also.
espresence should help, but how to accommodate other family members?
I received something nice from one of my followers on Community Day. 
It shows #HomeAssistant sensors.
Some generic housekeeping: moving from the custom but outdated nextcloud backup addon (https://github.com/Sebclem/hassio-nextcloud-backup) to the built-in webdav addon.
One less external thing to keep track of.
@paul I use a #HomeAssistant integration which puts the dates and types of collection on the tablet which is in the kitchen anyway.
The company #RainBird can pound sand! If you update your mobile app to their v2.0 it will reflash your rainbird wifi module and not allow local access, forcing you to use their cloud-based BS. I'm done with them. Going the open-source route here and using the drop-in replacement https://opensprinkler.com/ . Works out of the box with Home Assistant too.

I just installed Spook, and it immediately found 6 automation that were half-broken, because of changes in devices that I did not realize. Thank you!

Integrated my Synology into Home Assistant.
Now my backups get stored out on the NAS instead of within the VM itself.
Next week on June 4th, the @openhomefoundation is hosting a community meetup in Dublin, Ireland! 
Come meet team members from Home Assistant, ESPHome, and other foundation partners - we'll all be there! 
If you're in the area, we'd love to meet you. Register on Luma below 
i've extracted and trimmed a very long and detailed forum thread on the #HASS Home Assistant Community board from this dude named NathanCu.
you know how i'm obsessed with an AI Voice Assistant sounding board/feedback loop? he's built something extremely cool for #HomeAssistant and forum posts are a mess so i've extracted the most salient parts of his ongoing series on Household AI and i hope it's useful to others!
for now it's here :

I'd like to do something like this but for my bedroom, which is only one room in the house. An energy monitor like Emporia Vue would have to get installed on the house's electrical panel, which would require an electrician. I don't want that. I just want something for my bedroom.
Is there something that I could use that would plug into my bedroom's power outlets and monitor energy that way? Something that could replace the Emporia Vue Energy Monitor in this setup?
OK what is a good thermometer or temperature sensor that is local only you can recommend ? The cheap tuya I bought years ago is unusable without their cloud platform

Two options here:
- I'm in the most thermodinamically stable room ever
OR (and this might shock you)
- I need to restart the stupid sensor
It was very cool to meet Agnes at the #homeassistant meetup on Saturday and then to listen to her interview on the Home Assistant podcast today - https://hasspodcast.io/ha187/ I hope to speak with her again and work with Zooz in the future to include ZAC93s with my Z-Wave kits as an option.

Wenn ich die Zahnbürsten jetzt den einzelnen Nachbarn zuordnen könnte, könnte man ne schicke Rangliste bauen und die irgendwie prominent im Vorgarten darstellen. Mit Zahnputz-Achievements und so!
