The Android client is on F-Droid. Nice. People who don't use Google services can download it easily.
That's not an official app (Home Assistant works well in a mobile browser, just add it to your home screen).

#132I'm a co-founder of Snips https://snips.ai , we are building a 100% on-device Voice AI platform which protects your privacy as it does not rely on sending voice on servers like Google and Apple do You can use the platform for free (we will also open-source over time), it can run on Raspberry 3 and we added an integration with the amazing Home Assistant: https://home-assistant.io/components/snips

One tip is to use GPLv3, which would force the users of your code, who would put the software on their hardware, to make it possible for their users to reflash the devices. For everyone who doesn't want to allow that you could offer a commercial license.
This way of open sourcing works quite well for example for the Qt Company, they sell commercial licenses to automobile companies which don't want people to reflash their in vehicle infotainment systems for some reason, so they pay a per device commercial license. The Qt Company takes the money and pays developers to keep on working on the free software version of Qt which is GPLv3.
Kind of win win for everyone, small users who play with the sofware on their raspberry pi get the source code and big companies with their own propriatary hardware would pay licenses.

There are MQTT libraries for Arduino that work with the Ethernet shield.
Good idea, for some reason I forgot that the Ethernet shield exists! Thank you a lot, this really helps.
Also, the ESP8266 (which supports the Android SDK) has WiFi onboard, and is available in some very small form factors. I'm particularly fond of the WeMos D1 Mini (which you can get for a couple bucks each).

#134Is anyone else here completely confused at how much hype there is around automated light management systems? I don’t get it. Is it really that hard to turn on and off lights manually that people really need all this stuff? What am I not getting?
What am I not getting?
How lazy I am once in bed.

Yeah, that’s what I had seen before, but I really want to avoid WiFi. (Where I live the spectrum is quite congested, and reliability of WiFi is low)

It's weird that you guys with a open source project don't have a IRC chanel, at least I couldn't find one on https://home-assistant.io/help/
We are on Discord which has a better experience for our users https://discord.gg/c5DvZ4e
Have you heard of / considered Matrix/Riot?

"Hassel" is German slang and translates to "hassle".
.. but that is new slang, and originates in "hassle" afaik. And I would rather say, it is just used (and written) as the original english word.
It could very well be exactly the other way around. Even my grandparents knew this word and taught it to my parents. It's absolutely not new.

My $8 "dumb" LED outdoor bulbs have sunrise/sunset sensors built in...
Can you have them turn on 30 mins before sunset?
You can get an astronomical light switch that replaces the manual light switch that can do that and more based around actual sunrise/sunset time for $30 - it’s a little pricey but they just work.
