Creating our Floorplan or Animated House Plan in Home Assistant

In this post we are going to try to explain how we can make a plan of our house and integrate it into Home Assistant, with the intention of integrating the devices that we already have in Hassio and giving life to the plan. It is something very attractive and above all visual, It is something they will appreciate at home, since with an image we can see the state of our home and we can interact from it with the devices that we add.

Integrating a Sonoff Touch into Home Assistant

As you already know, Sonoff has a marvel of devices, with which we can control everything we can think of, in this post we will see how to use the Sonoff Touch, a Wifi switch that we can put in our homes, replacing traditional switches. Apart from having an aesthetic that I personally love, we can change the firmware to integrate it with our Home Assistant installation and be able to control any light in the house / office.

It will be super simple, We'll do it all with a Shelly 2.5 to control the upload or download wirelessly, and all integrated with Home Assistant!

Integrating SnapCast into Volumio for the best multi-room system

In the previous document we already saw how to have Volumio 2 perfectly mounted on a Raspberry Pi and we discovered how simple it is and how ideal it is to think about using it as an interface for our home audio system (For example). In this post we will see how to install SnapCast in Volumio and be able to stream to other Raspberry Pi with a speaker and make an impressive cool background music!
