Favorite HACS Components

In my video, I mentioned that I have a number of favorite HACS integrations and Lovelace UI elements. All of these elements are available in the HACS store.

NWS Alerts

https://github.com/finity69x2/nws_alerts

I mentioned this in my Severe Weather alerts video. This is the central component that pulls down alerts from the National Weather Service.

Fully Kiosk Browser

https://github.com/cgarwood/homeassistant-fullykiosk

This one lets you control your Android tablets running Fully Kiosk Browser.

Yahoo Finance

https://github.com/iprak/yahoofinance

This one we used in my Tracking Crypto and Stocks video. It lets you pull data from Yahoo Finance.

Wyze API

https://github.com/JoshuaMulliken/ha-wyzeapi

This is actually a future video. Lets you pull Wyze sensors, locks, bulbs, and switches into Home Assistant (not video feeds).

Xiaomi Vacuum Map Extractor

https://github.com/PiotrMachowski/Home-Assistant-custom-components-Xiaomi-Cloud-Map-Extractor

From my Roborock vacuum video, this will pull the map down from your Roborock / Xiaomi vacuum and display it in Home Assistant.

Google Fit

https://github.com/cyberjunky/home-assistant-google_fit

This one lets you pull data from Google Fit and display it without all of the API calls.

Mail and Packages

https://github.com/moralmunky/Home-Assistant-Mail-And-Packages

Another future video. This one uses an IMAP connection to your email box that will show you what packages (USPS, Fedex, UPS, and Amazon) are coming to your home.

Power Calculation

https://github.com/bramstroker/homeassistant-powercalc

I am still playing with this one, but it lets you create virtual power sensors for lights.

Adaptive Lighting

https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting

An updated version of the circadian lights integration. This one changes your light’s color and brightness automatically to match the outside lighting conditions.
