+ + Setting up the Blueprint + +
+ +This week's blueprint is that of [delphiki](https://community.home-assistant.io/u/delphiki), +with which you can plan on which days of the week your vacuum cleaner should start +cleaning and at what time. Try it out! Read more about it on the [community forum][week_blueprint] +or install this automation in your instance with a click on the My button! + +{% my blueprint_import badge blueprint_url="https://community.home-assistant.io/t/vacuum-schedule/256590" %} + +## Lovelace Dashboard +------ + +Also this week we have a new Lovelace dashboard for the necessary portion +of inspiration 💡 This time it has become that of [Make_Itt_Work](https://www.reddit.com/user/Make_Itt_Work/), +where he also processed the telemetry data from his car in the dashboard. +Now we are of course very curious how that works? 😄 + +
+ + Preview of the dashboard + +
+ +Take also a look at the [original post][dashboard] on Reddit. Would you +like your dashboard to be in the community highlight? Drop it on +[Reddit][reddit] and maybe I'll pick it out for the next edition. + +## Vacuum Card +------ + +
+ + The vacuum card + +
+ +Besides being able to automate when your vacuum cleaning robot gets started, +you probably also want to show the status of your robot in Lovelace. Then try +the [vacuum card](https://github.com/denysdovhan/vacuum-card) from [denysdovhan](https://github.com/denysdovhan), +with which you can show that in a beautiful way and there is support for the +well-known models that are now available on the market. + + + +## OpenTTS 2.0 +------ + +Maybe the name still sounds fairly unknown to you, but [OpenTTS](https://github.com/synesthesiam/hassio-addons) +is an add-on, which gives you the possibility to use multiple open source +Text to Speech systems. So that you can eventually have text spoken on: for +example, a Google Home speaker. [synesthesiam](https://github.com/synesthesiam) +recently released a new version of OpenTTS and you can install it as an +add-on in Home Assistant. + + + +Give it a try! + +## Got a tip for the next edition? +------ + +Have you seen (or made) something awesome, interesting, unique, amazing, +inspirational, unusual or funny, using Home Assistant? + +[Click here to send us your Community Highlight suggestion](/suggest-community-highlight). + +Also, don't forget to share your creations with us via Social Media: + +- Tweet it!
