Home Assistant in everyday use

The car is warm when you leave, the ventilation stops when there’s smoke outside, and the heating system shows what it’s doing at a glance. Every project is in daily use and comes with configuration you can copy into your own Home Assistant.

  1. Heating

    A block heater that has the car warm right when you leave

    A Home Assistant blueprint that starts a car block heater from your departure time and the outdoor temperature, and switches it off after you leave.

How the projects are made

Tested day to day
Everything here is in daily use. When a winter morning shows a flaw, the fix lands on the page too.
Ready to copy
Packages, blueprints and dashboard YAML with neutral entity names. Swap in your own sensors and it runs.
Built-in first
Home Assistant’s own cards and helpers wherever they do the job, so updates don’t break your setup.
