5 New Features in 2023.5 (Home Assistant)

[@MichaelAlderete]

GET for web hooks! I’ve been waiting a loooong time for that one! Thrilled to see it land, very useful with “dumb” smart buttons that can’t make a POST request, like the Shelly.

Mind sharing an example of how we could use this feature? Thanks

It's too bad that with every 5 new features introduced, there are usually breaking changes that forces user to revert back to the previous version.

I would like to see a video about how to generate random colors. I have a lot of splash lights, like a bulb behind couches and corners of some rooms. Throughout the night, I would like the bulb to display assorted colors throughout the night, not fast color changes, just gradual color changes through the night. I want to do the same for my exterior lights as well. I am new to Home Assistant and got a lot of set color changes throughout the house. Like, I have my splash lights and exterior lights that respond to motion sensors to set scenes. I just would like to know how to do smooth transitioning color changes for these types of lights. A change in speed would be a good setting as well, for party situations. But mostly, I just want slow gradual changes through the night.

Please show us how to use webhooks in Home Assistant. Thanks!

[@MarkWattTech]

Like a tutorial on Webhooks? :)

Hi Mark! When it will be available to purchase a local homeassistant speaker/mic assist ? Do you have any clue? Thank you!

Do I need to have a Nabu Casa subscription to see the exposed devices on the Alexa app?

[@shaunwhiteley3544]

Do you have to have a nabu casa subscription to use alexa voice integration?

Do you have a guide, which kind of HA to install if you start from scratch again ? I have raspberry pi 3 / 4 with 1 GB or old windows 10 Laptop 4GB or a new iHost with 2 GB I wanna track energy consumption, solar power, battery, wallbox, heatpumps - but what kind of installation like ihost running docker with HA or raspberry pi with Hassio for example. But I can not find the guide which installation I should use and the ihost has not arrived. I had been running HA 2 or 3 years ago, when I came across the channel with the tuya key setup and so on. Maybe I have overlooked such video in your playlist, but i tried a search there for guide and assistant without luck. thanks.

Does Home Assistant state anywhere if they plan to add Siri to this new voice assistant page? The HomeKit integration’s UI is not great for showing what is enabled.

[@OrlandoPaco]

Noice!

[@dsdlonyer]

Another good roundup.. thank you. Do you know what the latest is though with the Android Auto integration?

[@MarkWattTech]

Cheers Darren. I’ve actually been saving Android auto until I get my new car in a few weeks 😂

[@dsdlonyer]

@@MarkWattTech it has a lot to offer. I have just automated my garage door and set up a cover which is visible in AA. Just looking forward to seeing what else is coming. I would like to see the ability to have a specific view. 🤞

finally, adding assistant is no longer yamlgotchi dependent, also exposes, damn why that thing is hidden deep inside a yamlgotchi file but im glad its gone for good now.

[@MarkWattTech]

I think Yamlgotchi is my new favourite word 😂

[@assida143]

I like to see a future where I can install it easy plug-and-play I try to start to try to install that since covid started and still to this day I don't have one have no idea why men watching this

[@MarkWattTech]

As in a device to plug and play with Home Assistant? If this is the case, this is exactly what the Home Assistant Yellow is.
