The 23rd edition of the Home Assistant Community Highlights! Some interesting
things popped up around our community, which we thought was worth sharing.
Do you want to share something for the next edition?

## Blueprint of the week
------
This week's blueprint is all about medication. It may happen that you forget
to swallow it, what if you create an automation that sends you a message as a
reminder every time? [Mati24](https://community.home-assistant.io/u/mati24) has
now made a handy blueprint for that, try it out!
{% my blueprint_import badge blueprint_url="https://community.home-assistant.io/t/advanced-medication-reminder/300137" %}
Read more about it on the [community forum][week_blueprint] or install this
automation in your instance with a click on the My button!
## Swiper card
------
Not enough space on your Lovelace dashboard? Then try the [swiper card](https://github.com/bramkragten/swipe-card)
made by [bramkragten](https://github.com/bramkragten), with which you can easily
swipe through different cards in the same card frame.

## Lovelace dashboard
------
Also this week we have a new Lovelace dashboard for the necessary portion of inspiration 😄
This time the dashboard of [DoIGotSkillz](https://www.reddit.com/user/DoIGotSkillz/),
who made one for use on a tablet wall mount.
<div style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center">
<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/niyo5h/my_wall_mounted_dashboard/" target="_blank">

style='border: 0;box-shadow: none;width:80%;margin-bottom:15px;'
/>
</a>
</div>
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.
## Homegame
------
Recently we had an [item][item] about switching entities in Minecraft, well this
time it's a game again but in 2D. [svendroid](https://github.com/svendroid) made
a proof of concept game that you can play in the browser, you can adjust the map
so that your own light entities work with it.
<div style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center">

alt="Demo of the 2D game"
style='border: 0;box-shadow: none;width:80%;margin-bottom:15px;' />
</div>
Doesn't this also remind you of the old Pokemon games from the past? 😅
