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). + +./Klaas
+*Intern on Home Assistant Energy* + +## 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 +------ + +
+ + Preview of the love lock card + +
+ +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. + +
+ +
+ +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 +------ + +
+ +
+ +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. + +## 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!
