+The 27th edition of the Home Assistant Community Highlights! Some interesting
+things popped up around our community, which we thought was worth sharing.
+
+But first I have one more announcement. My internship is (almost) over and I'm
+happy to say that I passed and completed it with a good grade. That also means that
+this community highlight is the last one from me as an intern, time will tell
+when the next one will appear.
+
+Do you want to share something for the next edition?
+Information on [how to share](#got-a-tip-for-the-next-edition).

+## Blueprint of the week
+------
+
+{% my blueprint_import badge blueprint_url="https://gist.github.com/bfranke1973/4a0835efffc81759d02f44842265ea96" %}
+
+This week's blueprint is that of [bfranke1973](https://community.home-assistant.io/u/bfranke1973),
+who has created a blueprint with which you can receive a notification when
+a device loses connection with the network. 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!

+## Love Lock Card
+------
+
+<div style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center">
+    <a href="https://github.com/CyrisXD/love-lock-card" target="_blank">
+        <img
+            src='/images/blog/2021-06-25-community-highlights/lock.gif'
+            alt="Preview of the love lock card"
+            style='border: 0;box-shadow: none;width:100%;margin-bottom:15px;'
+        />
+    </a>
+</div>
+
+Do you ever accidentally turn on a light or switch? Then try the
+[love lock card](https://github.com/CyrisXD/love-lock-card) made by
+[CyrisXD](https://github.com/CyrisXD). With this, you can create a card
+that is locked and you can unlock it with, for example, a pin code or a
+simple click on the card.

+
+## Lovelace Dashboard
+------
+
+This week again we have a new Lovelace dashboard for the necessary portion
+of inspiration 😄 This time the one from [swake88](https://www.reddit.com/user/swake88/)
+who is improving his [dashboard](https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/o2za2z/slowly_redesigning_my_ha_dashboards_for_mobile/)
+for use on a mobile device. If you want to know more about it, check out
+the comment part on Reddit.
+
+<div style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center; margin-bottom:15px">
+    <iframe id="reddit-embed" src="https://www.redditmedia.com/r/homeassistant/comments/o2za2z/slowly_redesigning_my_ha_dashboards_for_mobile/?ref_source=embed&amp;ref=share&amp;embed=true" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups" style="border: none;" height="639" width="640" scrolling="no"></iframe>
+</div>
+
+Would you also 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.
+
+## Statistic Tools
+------
+
+<div style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center; margin-bottom:15px">
+    <iframe id="reddit-embed" src="https://www.redditmedia.com/r/homeassistant/comments/o6co3v/mini_graph_card_that_displays_a_dynamic_color/?ref_source=embed&amp;ref=share&amp;embed=true" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups" style="border: none;" height="426" width="640" scrolling="no"></iframe>
+</div>
+
+Home Assistant has a number of tools for working with statistics, but the
+question is how can you best approach this. [Carlos](https://www.reddit.com/user/cgomesu/)
+has written a very good [guide](https://cgomesu.com/blog/smarter-hass/) on
+how to get started and how to make cards that use this data.
