This is the 8th post in the My journey with Home Assistant focus series. This post will be short, but I hope useful. My home is getting more and more connected, and the number of my automations grow each month. Recently, I equipped my roller shutters with connected Somfy engines so they could roll down automatically when it’s too hot in summer. Spoiler: given the current heatwave, it’s a boon!| A Java geek
This is the 7th post in the My journey with Home Assistant focus series. I recently acquired Netatmo smart radiator valves to manage my rooms' temperature remotely.

Some of them are colored, some of them regular. In addition, I bought a sensor to go along with the light I installed in my toilets: it turns on automatically when its detects a movement there. In this post, I want to document how I replaced the proprietary automation with Home Assistant’s.| A Java geek
Home Assistant is a massive beast. It can be overwhelming for a newcomer; it was for me. In this post, I want to describe the underlying model of Home Assistant, which is a good entry point for your home automation journey. The biggest issue in describing the Home Assistant is the number of conflicting sources for this model: The helpers package of the GitHub repositoryThe database; disclaimer: I didn’t find the schema generation in the code, and I wasn’t bold enough to check the d| A Java geek

Let’s Encrypt issues certificates through an automated API based on the ACME protocol.
