I’ve used this method to buy an RPI myself. I can’t give any guarantees on this and they sell out fast! Please visit https://rpilocator.com to thank the author of the service we are using here. Also check out his tips and tricks page.. This automation uses the feed he supplies.
NOTE: I consider this beta! There are lots of improvements that can be made. This is my first Blueprint.

Requirements:
Feedreader

Version V0.90

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.

This goes in your config.yaml

Thanks @giqcass! It’s working for me :slight_smile:

P.S. the feedreader config should be:

feedreader:
  urls:
    - https://rpilocator.com/feed/
  scan_interval:
    minutes: 15
  max_entries: 5

I clearly lost text formatting. Glad it’s working for you!

Hi. Why do we set the interval to 15 minutes? Wouldn’t be 15 seconds better?

5

Just saw this. 15 seconds is way too fast! Imagine if hundreds of people were pinging your sever every 15 seconds. What about thousands? 15 minutes is the standard RSS time interval. It’s very impolite to do it too frequently.

I have successfully installed the blueprint but every time I get a notification and immediately go to the site I don’t find the object that has been notified.
I thought there is a delay due to the conservative battery management that some phones have.
If so, how could I do to direct the notification, for example to the tts service?

7

They sell out pretty fast. You could probably go down to 5 minutes for the scan interval. That would help. I wouldn’t go any lower then that. I think I have a way to make this considerable faster. Give me a few days to see if the idea is workable.

I updated the blueprint to include Raspberry PI5.

I had a typo in the PI5 locator. I think I have that fixed. Testing now.
