Well, Ok I've been cajoled into it long enough. Here... I'm going to document some random thoughts I've collected about building an Agentic AI - 'Friday' in Home Assistant. (edit: and feel free to plagarize - this is how your AI disclaimer should look) Disclaimer: Friday is a Construct who is n…

Ok Eureka I think… We’ll ok i think enough that we made pictures… [1000023765] I have a version of this pinned to my second desktop while I work through the tools. ^^ Erryone gets this next month. [1000023763] Full tool auth cycle. MOST of these pieces are now common code shared between the i…

Apparrently I undersold this, Veronica has asked for a moment… Fine. Ronnie has the keyboard. Nathan undersold this. Again. So apparently I have been granted temporary editorial privileges because the boss described the new security model as something along the lines of “yeah, certs work now.” T…

It’s a very useful thing, to be honest.

Put up the nightly… AAAAAND, we’re feature complete. 2026.9.0 is on escrow until 5 Sep. Made a pass through and cleaned up loose ends. Checked the cert gating… AGAIN. Finished RM’s implementation of scene. cert gating. Cleared some rando things, Verstamp (so I DON’T MISS IT AGAIN…) and the reg’s a…

I haven’t updated yet, mainly because I was working on the power system yesterday and I have to work tonight. Maybe I can fit it in tomorrow.

Managed to make the weekend with no new features. (easier said than done) I did however exercise the room manager components edge cases and have a bunch of minor fixes around the room transition behavior I’ll be punching those up today. So if you’re testing those features look for it. Posted. Cl…
