What did you think of [the release][release] last Wednesday? A
|
||
lot of cool things have been added! But there were also a lot of
|
||
great projects shared this week from the community and we have
|
||
selected the best for you. So here's the 16th edition of the Home
|
||
Assistant Community Highlights!
|
||
|
||
Do you want to share something for the next edition?
|
||

## Blueprint of the week
|
||
|
||
You're leaving home and oh dear! It turns out that one of your lights
|
||
is on 💡 What if you then receive a notification with an option to switch
|
||
off the light, without having to open the Home Assistant app first?
|
||
|
||
<div style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center">
|
||
<a href="https://community.home-assistant.io/t/actionable-notifications-for-android/256773" target="_blank">
|
||

||
alt="Actionable notification demo"
|
||
style='border: 0;box-shadow: none;width:70%;margin-bottom:10px;'
|
||
/>
|
||
</a>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
With the blueprint from [vorion](https://community.home-assistant.io/u/vorion)
|
||
you can easily get started to create your own actionable notifications, give it
|
||
a try. Read more about it on the [community forum][week_blueprint] or install this
|
||
automation in your instance with a click on the my button!

## Google Home
|
||
|
||
Long ago it was possible to read the alarms and timers from your Google Home
|
||
in Home Assistant, due to a change in the API this was unfortunately no longer possible.
|
||
|
||
<object type="image/svg+xml" data="https://gh-card.dev/repos/leikoilja/ha-google-home.svg?link_target=_blank"></object>
|
||
|
||
But thanks to a new [custom integration](https://github.com/leikoilja/ha-google-home)
|
||
from [leikoilja](https://github.com/leikoilja), it’s now possible to integrate alarms
|
||
or timers that you have set up on a Google Home device. For example, you could switch
|
||
the lights automatically in the morning based on an alarm clock that you have set.
|
||
|
||
## Tempometer Gauge Card
|
||
|
||
<div style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center">
|
||
<a href="https://github.com/SNoof85/lovelace-tempometer-gauge-card" target="_blank">
|
||
<img
|
||

|
||
alt="Tempometer Gauge card"
|
||
style='border: 0;box-shadow: none;width:70%;margin-bottom:10px;'
|
||
/>
|
||
</a>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
Are you looking for a card to spice up your existing gauge card?
|
||
Then try the [tempometer gauge card](https://github.com/SNoof85/lovelace-tempometer-gauge-card) made by [SNoof85](https://github.com/SNoof85).

## Lovelace Dashboard
|
||
|
||
This week also a Lovelace dashboard and this time that of [agneevX](https://github.com/agneevX),
|
||
the nice thing about this dashboard is that it's designed from a mobile first principle. Which
|
||
means that you make a design / dashboard for the smallest screen (mobile) and then work out step
|
||
by step how it will look on a larger screen (desktop).
|
||
|
||
<div style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center">
|
||
<a href="https://github.com/agneevX/my-ha-setup" target="_blank">
|
||
<img
|
||
src='/images/blog/2021-04-09-community-highlights/dashboard.png'
|
||
alt="Lovelace dashboard"
|
||
style='border: 0;box-shadow: none;width:90%;margin-bottom:10px;'
|
||
/>
|
||
</a>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
You can find all his code in [this repository](https://github.com/agneevX/my-ha-setup) on Github.
