+## Blueprint of the week
+
+This week's blueprint is all about climate and energy saving,
+[SmartLiving.Rocks](https://community.home-assistant.io/u/smartliving.rocks/) has
+written a handy blueprint that can switch your climate device based on whether a
+window is open or not.
+
+{% my blueprint_import badge blueprint_url="https://community.home-assistant.io/t/window-open-climate-off/257293" %}

+## ESPHome Acquisition
+
+Last week we announced that [ESPHome][esphome] will continue under the umbrella
+of [Nabu Casa][nabu_casa] from now on. If you want to hear more about it, be sure
+to listen to the latest Home Assistant Podcast in which Paulus explains more about
+the future of ESPHome.

+## Uptime Card
+
+<object type="image/svg+xml" data="https://gh-card.dev/repos/dylandoamaral/uptime-card.svg?link_target=_blank"></object>
+
+For those who would like to show their uptime robot status or other types of
+binary sensors in a very special way, there is now a new card made by
+[dylandoamaral](https://github.com/dylandoamaral) which is inspired on the
+uptime status page of [Reddit](https://www.redditstatus.com).
+
+<div style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center">
+    <a href="https://github.com/dylandoamaral/uptime-card" target="_blank">
+        <img
+            src='/images/blog/2021-03-26-community-highlights/uptime-card.png'
+            alt="How this blueprint works"
+            style='border: 0;box-shadow: none;width:75%;'
+        />
+    </a>
+</div><br>
+
+Keep in mind that the card is still at an early stage of development.
+
+## DIY Smart Lock
+
+Always wanted to make your door lock smarter? Then try the DIY solution
+from [bkbilly](https://community.home-assistant.io/u/bkbilly), with which
+you can make your own smart door lock with a stepper motor, 3D printed gears
+and ESP32, which communicates with your Home Assistant instance via [ESPHome][esphome].
+<div style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center">
