The 9th edition of the Home Assistant Community Highlights! Some interesting
|
||
things popped up around our community, we thought was worth sharing.
|
||
|
||
But before we move on to the highlights of this week, let's start with a
|
||
little hooray because yesterday both Pascal Vizeli and I had their birthday!
|
||
|
||
Hip hip hooray! 🎂🥳
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
O and would you like to keep track of your birthdays in Home Assistant? Then
|
||
try this custom integration of [Miicroo](https://github.com/Miicroo).

## Help each other with any question
|
||
|
||
Last week, we found a burning question on the [Home Assistant subreddit][reddit]
|
||
forum from [Horror_Fondant_7165](https://www.reddit.com/user/Horror_Fondant_7165/).
|
||
Some paint had gotten on his curtain and he just can't get the paint stain
|
||
out of his curtain.
|
||
|
||
Maybe we can give him some community love and help with his question? 😄

## DSMR Reader add-on
|
||
|
||
Good news for those who would like to get started with DSMR Reader!
|
||
[sanderdw](https://github.com/sanderdw) has made an add-on so that you can
|
||
easily use it with Home Assistant. Please note, the add-on is still in an __Alpha__ state.

## Laundry card
|
||
|
||
Would you like to display the state of your smart washing machine (such as an LG ThinQ)
|
||
in a fun way in Lovelace? Perhaps the example below could inspire you. You can find the
|
||
Lovelace YAML code [here](https://pastebin.com/S3uVcQHT).
