Home Tinkering SIG Recap - 10/21/2025

Here’s the recap of the 10/21 meeting about Home Assistant:

This folder has the meeting summary notes, and all the content we showed on the TV during the meeting:

  • Some slides introducing home automation and Home Assistant
  • Jason’s screenshots and videos of his Home Assistant setup
  • Andrew’s screenshots of his Home Assistant setup

@jamesfreeman I made a folder in there for you to upload any stuff you’d like to share – links to any KinCony products or pics of your setup? I did put a link to kincony.com in the summary.

Tentative plan for next SIG meeting (11/18) is show & tell of home automation devices. Since it’s not exactly easy to bring your whole house to Asmbly, and disconnecting things can sometimes mess them up, please feel free to take videos/pictures of things if you don’t want the headache of bringing stuff physically to show.

See y’all in November!

Jason, thanks for hosting.

For my mobile dashboard, I used a lot of the concepts and addons described in this video. If is a little dated, but all the concepts still apply. No coding/YAML required.

I am happy to answer any questions on my setup, integrations and configurations.
