Blueprint of the week
Recently Home Assistant has received support for the use of alarm keypads
with deCONZ, which works with an alarm control panel entity and the deconz_alarm_event
.
Therefore this week’s blueprint is that of Robban, with which you can use a physical (Zigbee) keypad to switch your alarm on or off.
Keep in mind: the support in deCONZ rest plugin is still in an alpha stage.
Try it out! Read more about it on the community forum or install this automation in your instance with a click on the My button!
Lovelace Dashboard
Also this week we have a new Lovelace dashboard for the necessary portion
of inspiration 💡 This time it has become that of StreetInevitable5427

Browser Extension
Fresh off the press, we came across something really cool on the community forum.

ESPHome 1.17
A new version of ESPHome
In particular, I would like to point out the new pulse_meter
The pulse meter component is also what I’ve used for the hardware I’ve been working on. I’ve made a range of improvements since the last time I shared it. Now including a status LED so it’s easy to check if it’s working. pic.twitter.com/GwaVZS0HQj

By combining measuring how many pulses there are within a time frame and the time between each pulse, you get even better accurate readings!
