+## Blueprint of the week
+------
+
+Imagine, you are listening to music and suddenly you get a call, then of course
+you first want to turn the music down a bit to understand the person, what if
+we automate that with a blueprint!
+
+This week's blueprint is that of [JackPoint](https://community.home-assistant.io/u/JackPoint),
+which will mute your media player when you receive a call and are at home. 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://gist.github.com/JackPoint/2375dd5d15f0b4c52161207170c14f60" %}
+
+Would you rather not have the media player muted but, for example, paused or take
+another action? More variants can be found on the [Blueprint Exchange][blueprints]!
+
+## Car Telemetry
+------
+
+A few editions earlier we had shown the dashboard of [Make_Itt_Work](https://www.reddit.com/user/Make_Itt_Work/)
+and it contained telemetry data from his car. The question was of course how does
+he do that?! Well, that question now has an answer, a video has come online with
+all the details.

+## Shower Duration

+
+We've talked enough about saving energy, but using water efficiently is
+just as important. With the [project](https://github.com/farstreet/shower)
+from [farstreet](https://github.com/farstreet), which consists of some hardware
+and an automation, you could time how long you are in the shower and indicate
+with a LED light how long you have been under it.
+
+Finished taking a shower? Then you can hear what your shower time was
+through a media player.

+
+## Mine Assistant
+------
+
+This item is especially nice for the Minecraft players, [Andy](https://gitlab.com/klikini)
+has managed to switch a light in Home Assistant by means of a redstone block
+in Minecraft! In the Reddit post you can find more information about this
+project, as well code to get started yourself.
