Please let me know in the comments what you think. Some +interesting things popped up again around our community, that I thought was +worth sharing. + +Do you want to share something for the next edition? +Information on [how to share](#got-a-tip-for-the-next-edition). + +./Klaas + +## Blueprint of the week + +It may have happened to everyone, the washing machine has finished and you have +completely forgotten to take it out. We could probably do something with that +with a blueprint. + +With the blueprint from [Sbyx](https://community.home-assistant.io/u/sbyx) you +put a smart plug on the washing machine and you get a notification when the +laundry is ready. 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/sbyx/6d8344d3575c9865657ac51915684696" %} + +Bonus side effect: if your smart plug can measure energy, you also immediately +know what it uses and how much a wash has cost you. Give it a try! + + +## Battery state card + +
+ + Preview from battery state card + +
+ +Do you want to keep an eye on all your battery powered devices? Then try +the [battery state card](https://github.com/maxwroc/battery-state-card) from +[maxwroc](https://github.com/maxwroc), so that you can see by means of a color +which device is almost empty and it's time for a battery replacement. + + + +## Lovelace Dashboard + +Also this week we have a new Lovelace dashboard for the necessary portion of +inspiration ๐Ÿ˜„ This time it has become that of [FreakLikeMe0991](https://www.reddit.com/user/FreakLikeMe0991/), +which, like last week's dashboard, mainly focuses on the use from a mobile device. + +

+ +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. + +## Holodeck Project + +We also came across a very cool project on our [community forum][community] namely +the Holodeck, made by [smowk](https://community.home-assistant.io/u/smowk): a smart +assistant in your kitchen. It projects images (like a Lovelace dashboard or cooking +video) onto your kitchen cupboard and could be operated by voice. You can read a lot +more about it [here][community_project]. + +
