Home-AssistantConfig

Bear Stone Smart Home Documentation

Be sure to :star: my configuration repo so you can keep up to date on any daily progress!

Live, personal Home Assistant configuration shared for **browsing and inspiration**. This is not a turnkey clone-and-run setup; borrow ideas, adapt entity IDs/secrets, and test in your own environment. ### Latest video: Get Early Tesla Tire Pressure Alerts in Home Assistant This Tesla Fleet walkthrough turns the Model Y's four PSI sensors into an early warning below 40 PSI, names the tire in a Home Assistant phone alert, and offers one-day or three-day snoozes shared with Joanna's morning briefing.

If you reuse snippets, adjust entities, secrets, and services to fit your setup. - Issues double as a changelog and design history; browse them for rationale behind changes. ### Repo layout and files you won't see - Reusable config lives under `config/` (see the quick navigation paths above). - Runtime artifacts are hidden by `.gitignore` and won't show up on GitHub (e.g., `home-assistant_v2.db*`, logs, `deps/`, `.venv/`, backups). Look at the YAML and scripts for the actual logic and regenerate your own `secrets.yaml`. ### Platform - Runs on Docker/compose today; this README is a browsing guide, not a how-to-install. Current HA version is tracked in `config/.HA_VERSION` (see the badge above). - Camera ingest path (current): `wyze-bridge` runs on `docker_10` and Frigate runs on `docker_14`, consuming Wyze RTSP via `192.168.10.10:8554` for stability. ### Featured examples to start with -
