+*Intern on Home Assistant Energy* + +## Blueprint of the week +------ + +Are there more people who turn their lights on and off at certain times +when they go on holiday? + +{% my blueprint_import badge blueprint_url="https://community.home-assistant.io/t/vacation-lighting-replay-historical-lighting/282435" %} + +This week's blueprint is that of [timgiwo](https://community.home-assistant.io/u/timgiwo), +who created a blueprint that can repeat the behavior of your lights from +the past week, so it seems like you are still 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! + +## Slider Button Card +------ + +
+ + Preview of the button slider card + +
+ +[Mattieha](https://github.com/mattieha) made a [button card](https://github.com/mattieha/slider-button-card) +that also included a slider, so you could, for example: switch a light but +also immediately adjust the brightness with the slider. Useful for those who +want to keep their dashboard compact. + + + +## Floorplan Dashboard +------ + +This week again we have a new Lovelace dashboard for the necessary portion +of inspiration 😄 This time the one from [theone11](https://github.com/theone11) +who has a [dashboard](https://github.com/theone11/HomeAssistantConfig) with a +floorplan, definitely recommended to take a look at the repository because +there is a lot of explanation on it. + +
+ +
+ +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. + +## Ispindel +------ + +
+ + Preview of the ISpindel project + +
+ +Between the community submissions, we came across a [nice project](https://github.com/alsFC/esphome-iSpindel) +that works with [ESPHome][esphome], it's a sensor with which you can +monitor your own homebrew, for example, the alcohol percentage and the +temperature. Cheers [Alexander](https://github.com/alsFC)! 🍻 + +## 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!
