  • We switched to Kitchen Owl and it works out okay. The recipe management is nice in theory, but doesn’t work well for most of our recipe sources (because of parsing issues most websites aren’t recognized and ingredient amounts are not parsed correctly for German recipes), but we usually just create an empty recipe with a link to the original. This isn’t perfect - in hindsight we should have stayed with Bring! because it just works better. We are hoping that the issues will be fixed sometime in the future although I am not sure what to expect…

    My default dashboard is maybe a little bit unusual:

    Default Dashboard with blood glucose levels

    It’s the blood glucose levels of my daughter (and mine in the next tab) as we are both T1 diabetics. The levels are transmitted via a tool called Nightscout and then shared with Home Assistant. This allows my wife and myself to get notified via light signals at night (in addition to the alarm her blood glucose sensor sounds). The dashboard also contains average levels for several timespans as well as an estimated long time level (Hb1Ac).

    The second dashboard is an overview of all the lights, sensors and appliances located on a floorplan of the house:

    There are several tabs grouping lights (and appliances), sensor readings and battery levels.





  • I have a motion sensor in the bedroom that turns the light on when you enter it (or leave it) and turns it off after some time once there is no motion detected anymore. But there is also a button right next to the door which disables the automation for 10 minutes for entering the bedroom at night when our youngest is already sleeping in the room.

    Simple but very useful and even my wife likes it alot.
