I was listening to the New Year's Day concert by the Vienna philharmonic and wondered who one of the composers was so used a popular song recognition app. (I expected it would make some fuzzy match on the piece and give me the name + composer). To my amazement it did give the name and composer but as played by the Vienna philharmonic in 2005 in the same location. The orchestra does not have the same members as 19 years ago, nor was it the same conductor, so it seemed the piece was matched on the acoustics of the Musikverein where they were playing, which I found astonishing.

Home Assistant. It's just so good at what it does and makes things like what you are talking about more accessible to people like me.

I've been reluctant to embrace Home Assistant because the config files seem so arcane. I'm using NodeRED at the moment, which hides all that, You just create visual process flows on a drawing surface, and it generates a web UI. It reminds me of block programming languages like Lego Mindstorms lol.

I have a wife and kid and not a lot of free time. I used chatgpt to build like 90% of my home assistant dashboards and configs. Just a suggestion. I have IKEA lights, wiz connected lamps, govee strips, levoit air purifiers, switchbot humidity and temperature sensors, the dreamebot vacuum all integrated into home assistant. It's great. Give it a go

Thanks for the encouragement!

You don't need to touch a config file for much anymore. It's almost all done via the ui
