If you also enjoy 3D printing, there’s a fun project to make an NFC tag reader with ESPHome. I use it for a jukebox where my playlists are NFC chips with the corresponding Spotify URLs. It lets anyone in the house tap a playlist to play. Much easier than having to get your phone out, and it’s reminiscent of flipping through CDs back in the day.

Rosanne Barr would have absolutely ruined the show and it would never have been as popular.

ZWave is also another great mesh network, and Bluetooth can also work if the right integration is there.

I’ve had good luck with either Sonoff or Tuya. Look on Aliexpress for much cheaper options. Just make sure you get the Tuya Zigbee vs WiFi devices as they’re sometimes listed on the same item but just a different “color” option when ordering.

I use this with zigbee2mqtt

It’s called Amazon Sidewalk and it’s still a thing. When you set up any Amazon device, it defaults to on unless you click it off.

Can’t you do that with admin users vs regular users? Pretty sure you can restrict dashboards by admin vs non-admin

Here’s what I see in my Settings warning section:

Command Line YAML configuration has moved

This stops working in version 2023.12.0. Please address before upgrading.

Configuring Command Line sensor using YAML has moved.

Consult the documentation to move your YAML configuration to integration key and restart Home Assistant to fix this issue.

Thanks for the info. I always get nervous when I update versions and see warnings. Still need to deal with the configuration.YAML changes that will be breaking come December.
