The 11th edition of the Home Assistant Community Highlights! Some interesting
|
||||
things popped up around our community, we thought was worth sharing.
|
||||
|
||||
From now on we will also highlight a cool blueprint that we encountered on the
|
||||
[Blueprint exchange][blueprints]. Do you want to share something for the next edition?

## Blueprint of the week
|
||||
|
||||
Do you have an IP camera in Home Assistant instance and do you no longer want to miss
|
||||
who is at the door? Then you could try the camera snapshot Blueprint from
|
||||
[vorion](https://community.home-assistant.io/u/vorion). You can also indicate to which
|
||||
device you would like to receive a notification with a photo.
|
||||
[Try it out!](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/send-camera-snapshot-notification-on-motion/254565)

## Solar weather station in birdhouse
|
||||
|
||||
Spring is approaching, so it's a good time to start building a birdhouse 🐦, so why not
|
||||
immediately turn it into a weather station? With [the manual](https://www.martinvdm.nl/2020/08/03/solar-weather-station-in-birdhouse/)
|
||||
from Martin, you can make your own weather (birdhouse) station that works with ESPHome.
|
||||

||||
<div style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center">

## Outdoor pathway light
|
||||
|
||||
Do you have a garden and do you want to create lighting along the paths? Maybe the
|
||||
garden lighting tutorial from [KidA001](https://www.reddit.com/user/KidA001/) will give you some inspiration to
|
||||
[get started](https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/lt40gb/made_my_own_outdoor_pathway_lights_with_esphome/) with this.
|
||||

||||

## PoE powered stack light
|
||||
|
||||
Looking for a creative way to display the status of your Home Assistant instance?
|
||||
For example: there is a new Core update, too much RAM is being used or your instance
|
||||
is no longer online? Plenty of options to bind to each color segment.
|
||||
|
||||
So let yourself be inspired with the PoE stack light from Karl and start
|
||||
[building](https://karlquinsland.com/2021/02/poe-powered-stack-light/).
|
||||
|
||||
<div style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center">

||||
