@larsmb Good candidate to submit for the WTH month! Maybe you already knew/did, but here's the info: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2024/11/30/the-month-of-what-the-heck/

@awfulwoman @homeassistant I just created a new PR to get "set the lights to maximum" and more working. https://github.com/home-assistant/intents/pull/2783
[en] Refactor HassLightSet using LLM TDD and new expansions by ViViDboarder · Pull Request #2783 · home-assistant/intents

This should make the matching more robust and much easier to manage. This depends on #2728 getting merged first.

Z-Wave is not dead! Last week, we attended the Z-Wave Alliance Member meeting in Austin, TX - the first since @homeassistant became a member.

We presented a keynote about the steps we think are critical to see it thrive into the future. Read more about our vision of making Z-Wave a successful consumer-facing product:

Z-Wave is not dead

Z-Wave is alive and well, partly due to a strong community that is building new open-source resources.

Uh oh! Someone done fucked up!
@janw ooph. That’s rough. Was the data still there at least?

Anyone know of a Pixelfed iOS app? Either published or currently in development looking for contributors? I’m using Mast for Mastodon and it doesn’t work with Pixelfed at the moment.

@danyspin97 @ndegruchy @nebunez And that is a mistake! Solid documentation comes before solid features!
