The quote was €250 to put five tiles on the wall behind my kitchen counter.
|
|
Then I looked at the wall.
|
|
The quote did not get smaller.
|
|
I already had the tiles and the other stuff. So I made a small bet.
|
|
I bought a cheap tile cutter for €25.
|
|
I also bought a 68 mm diamond hole saw for €8. I needed it to cut the round holes for the power outlets.
|
|
Then I did the job myself.
|
|
It took me about eight hours. That time includes the grout and the silicone in the corners.
|
|
Was I sure it would work? Also no.
|
|
My kitchen wall gave me a Home Assistant lesson.
|
|
If you want an AI helper for Home Assistant, you have two paths.
|
|
It is unofficial. It is quick and dirty. It is also very useful right now.
|
|
You can connect it to Claude or Codex. Then the AI can look at your real Home Assistant setup instead of guessing.
|
|
But you must spend some time to set it up. You must also keep control and check the plan before it makes a change.
|
|
The other path is to wait and see which official pieces Home Assistant ships. If they ship, you can use them inside Home Assistant.
|
|
That is like hiring the pro.
|
|
You do less setup work. You also have to wait.
|
|
For the four roadmap parts I checked, one is approved. Two are waiting for approval. One is only being considered.
|
|
There is no date yet. The plans can still change.
|
|
In the new video, I show both paths.
|
|
I show what ha-mcp can do now. Then I show what the official Home Assistant plan may add later.
|
|
If you want to help the channel, please watch to the end.
|
|
If you would rather pay the pro and skip the DIY mess, skip the video. I understand. My knees still remember those eight hours.
|
|
P.S. The tile cutter cost €25. The new voice in my head that says "I can do that myself" may cost much more.
