Details incoming!! 👀

DETAILS ARE HERE !

[west charm]

[tardy plinth]

[fierce wave]

I can't participate this year as I'll be heading down to San Diego with my kids for a Wings of Fire event. I am interested in supporting a SF Bay Area meetup in the future though. If there are SF Bay Area folks out there feel to reach out to me directly.

[tardy plinth]

Seems silly to pin the OP, but you know what I am just gonna not take any chances.

😄

One moment while I post the links to the cities we already have set up in here and also pin them!

[tardy plinth]

-# one moment turned into "I got distracted by like 4 other things and now I am doing this...."

Prague

Madrid

Bordeaux

[short kite]

I'd love to host one in Los Angeles 👋
https://lu.ma/event/manage/evt-T2In9EBsNBF6o2I

[vapid basin]

Haven't compare the event list time-wise/time-zone-wise, so might be a very silly question... is there some online element or anything like that?

[wheat jacinth]

Hi all! I have submitted one for Chicago at my local hackerspace - https://lu.ma/ewfhmp4u

We actually have a semi-weekly home lab meeting and we often cover Home Assistant in it. Excited to participate in an actual HA community event.

[vocal fjord]

Hello! I just created a Toronto, Ontario event! Would love to connect with other Torontonians and share our love of HA!

https://lu.ma/xx7bohlo

[keen quartz]

London always gets the exciting events, so I have set one up in Manchester (UK), as I am sure that there must be other Home Assistant users here. https://lu.ma/3bh9aji1

[tardy plinth]

-# Don't mind me, just rolling through with some updates. 😄

[tardy plinth]

UTRECHT IS FULL

People can still add their names to the waitlist, but it's also good to consider setting up a separate meetup in another city.

@short kite @wheat jacinth @vocal fjord @keen quartz Can you all add me as a manager to your event so that I can change the visibility to be on the HA calendar, pretty please? My email is [e-mail].

[vocal fjord]

[e-mail]

[tardy plinth]

Not to this, no, and this is kind of intentional! The goal is that the host has the flexibility to schedule it for whatever time of their day works best for them (or their venue of choice).

Since a lot of us employees are hosting in person events, we wouldn't be able to host an online event this year. However, if this is something you'd prefer, how would would expect the event be?

[tardy plinth]

Just gonna pin that to make it easier for the future. 😄

[vocal fjord]

Haha fair enough. I copied it out to a new message so that it would be easier on mobile to copy the email separately

[tardy plinth]

I was thinking as I typed it "you know...it'd be easier if that was just in a message for itself...."

[tall merlin]

I am interested in creating one in Nashville, TN US. Is there anyone here who would also like to help organize with me? I may have a venue but waiting on OK.

[tardy plinth]

Honestly, we can just have you create a placeholder one and see who has interest. Would you like me to blast on socials saying that Nashville could use some hosting help?

[tall merlin]

Yes! That would be amazing!

[tardy plinth]

Go ahead and create an event on the site then - add me as a manager on your Overview page with the email here, and I'll make sure that it's showing up on the calendar.

I'll write down the specific stuff I will say for this event on social. 🙂

[tall merlin]

Done!

I have a demo home automation display that I often setup at other events (I run a local robotics club) and thought that would be interesting for new folks. Would that be ok or is there a specific aesthetic that we need to stick to?

[tardy plinth]

Totally fine! I think people would enjoy being inspired. 😊

[wheat jacinth]

done!

[dawn sentinel]

I'll host one in Washington, DC! Event here. Location TBD depending on how many people register!

[tardy plinth]

EXCELLENT! Can you add me on as a manager so I can make sure it's added to the HA calendar, pretty please? Email is here: #1364989531069091920 message

[dawn sentinel]

Done! Maybe add that as part of the checklist on the (otherwise helpful and complete) announcement blog post?

[tardy plinth]

Actually not a bad idea!

[tardy plinth]

Thanks, @dawn sentinel! We got it added onto the steps for hosts. I'll get the forums OP updated now.

(PR is waiting on approval.) Blog post is now updated!

[tardy plinth]

Newly added events - April 25

There also seems to be one planned in Leuven, Belgium.

[tardy plinth]

Yep, I just haven't updated all the lists yet. 😄

If I keep doing it as I get them, I will only be updating lists.

BUT I have them all in a checklist to make sure I don't miss them in my last update before I log off for the weekend. 😊

[celest kiln]

Anyone interested joining/co-hosting a meetup in the Eindhoven region?

[tardy plinth]

Updated with a part 2 before I log off for the weekend. :3

[odd frost]

Columbus, Ohio! https://lu.ma/c05easbv

[wheat jacinth]

@tardy plinth will the events list on the page be updated?

i feel like having the list of the initial events kinda gives a limited impression of scope and i already had someone at our makerspace ask why we werent listed on the HA blog post. i do get that it hasn't been updated since the initial post and most are supposed to use luma but im not sure people will get that at face value

https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2025/04/24/community-day/

[tardy plinth]

We have healthy work life balances. 🙂

Things will be updated, but when I logged off yesterday we had 30 events and a month still to go for people - it won’t be sustainable to update the blog directly. I’m trying to get the calendar embedded instead. But on Monday.

[west charm]

https://lu.ma/6mmrdm1n Come to chile;)

[white grotto]

Hi all, we are very excited to be a part of community day. I created a meetup for Istanbul. https://lu.ma/nvpwk67s

[vapid basin]

We're in Limerick (Ireland), and would love to take part! https://lu.ma/7dt9a60b

[tardy plinth]

There were NINE NEW EVENTS added over the weekend.

[tardy plinth]

Just to make sure communication is open here - our copywriter is working on a few higher priority things that need to go out this week and can't focus on updating the blog with the embed until Wednesday at the earliest.

I'll be pointing people either here or the forums for the latest updates outside of the blog, and to the calendar for the latest confirmed events.

[tardy plinth]

Good morning!! Could you also add me as a host so I can change the calendar visibility for you?

[odd frost]

Done! Thank you 😁

[tardy plinth]

Thank YOU! 🙏

[wheat jacinth]

Thank you for the update! I totally understand that this is work for y’all so don’t sweat it.

[tardy plinth]

Newly added events - April 28

• Darmstadt, Germany
• Hasselt, Belgium
• Cologne, Germany
• Istanbul, Turkey
• Ruhrgebiet, Germany
• Napanee, Ontario
• Columbus, OH
• Richmond, VA
• Limerick, Ireland
• Vancouver, WA

[tardy plinth]

Hosts may notice that I made the location set to requiring to register to view - this is mostly to prevent randos from showing up and encourage proper registration. 🙂

I'm also going to draft up something to throw into descriptions. A common question already is "what should we be doing at these" and the honest answer is: As much as you want. The main goal is to get you all together. BUT to help give people thoughts on other things they can do, I will suggest people consider bringing their favorite projects to show off.

[west charm]

thanks for the support @tardy plinth

[tardy plinth]

Newly added events - April 29

• Kyiv, Ukraine
• Lisbon, Portugal
• Winnipeg, Manitoba
  • This event is scheduled for May 22nd, not the 24th - it is an exception to the May 24th rule. 😉

[odd frost]

@tardy plinth I may have missed it, but are there any examples of what happened in previous years? Looking for some inspiration after I found our event space 😎

[dapper harness]

🍔 🍻 💻 🤓

something like that 😬

[west charm]

+1

[tardy plinth]

This is the FIRST time we’ve done this! I have absolutely no previous years for this to pull from.

What we (meaning Paulus and Franck lol) sometimes do, which is slightly different from a community meetup, is talk a little about roadmap or what’s coming soon. For the community, I’ve been suggesting people have their favorite projects ready to talk about or show off.

Currently, I’m trying to figure out suggestions for games that people could play. @visual hill is hosting our London meetup and gave me some solid ideas to chase. ☺️

[odd frost]

We are hosting ours at a brewery, so this is easy 😎

[dapper harness]

uhhh ... brewing managed by HA 😅

[odd frost]

Thanks for the info, I may have to bug Frenck 🤓

[dapper harness]

@tardy plinth THIS should be the next "Works with Home Assistant"! 😁

[tardy plinth]

We do know the HomeBrew guys! 😆

[tardy plinth]

Newly added events - May 1st

• St. Gallen, Switzerland
• Galway, Ireland
• Valencia, Spain
• Paderborn / Ostwestfalen-Lippe, Germany
• Frankfurt, Germany

Working on getting the blog post updated with the embed today, I think I'm just waiting for the update to be merged.

Blog post has been updated with the calendar embed.

[west charm]

jejeje..

[west charm]

jaja maybe this is better 🙂 sorry

[tardy plinth]

Oh my goodness. 😂

[celest kiln]

I'm happy to see AI is not using the proper HA logo 😛 we need real merch 👕

[west charm]

hahah yeah:) design is not part of my skills:)

[tepid obsidian]

Maybe we need a "Plays with Home Assistant" tee...?

[tardy plinth]

The tees are a lot harder to do worldwide right now. But I’m working on a new merch store overall so I’ll put these in line for designs.

Hosts should have an email from me to send me their addresses so I can send over stickers and the swag for this day.

[bleak forge]

Austin, Texas yall https://lu.ma/gwsf6mh0

[unborn shard]

Bratislava, Slovakia on the map https://lu.ma/2twgwtkd

[unborn shard]

We can manage to make some in our country.. So what about to make the same desing for the T-short?

[tardy plinth]

T-shirts are not part of the swag this year - the reason why is because we don't have a merch store that has consistent enough printing to give people the quality of shirts we'd want for this. It's planned for next year, though.

I don't think it would be bad for specific meetups to print their shirts if they want, but I don't yet have a design to share with y'all for that.

[split anchor]

Hello everyone,
A new appointment has been created!!
I'll be waiting for you in Lyon (France) from 6:00 PM until the early hours!

[mystic elk]

Arnt you pushing your limit of splitting your self up?

[tardy plinth]

This is a Multiplicity situation.

We got split Missys and each one has a different quirk.

[west charm]

chile has better wines!

[tardy plinth]

I dunno, do y’all have a tempranillo? 😆

-# i might have said fighting words 🫣

[mystic elk]

Do you want to make a multiplication of one drunk Missy?

Is the local drunkness transmitted or does the local missy has the acolhol resistance or all missys together.

This needs to be researched

[slow valve]

@tardy plinth and others, I just created a Boston meetup for community day. Let me know if I misconfigured it: https://lu.ma/sfwky7mu

[tardy plinth]

I'm off for today to chaperone my son's school field trip, so I will have more updates tomorrow.

[wheat forum]

I've just created a San Diego meetup for community day, looking forward to meeting other HA nerds!

[hardy steeple]

Late to the party but setup a Bristol (UK) meeting. Looking forward to meeting other HA users.

[mystic elk]

@vagrant nova still no place for the meeting in utrecht? Perhaps we can book the library in my old student society. (Usc)
They have beer.

[vagrant nova]

you were part of usc?

[mystic elk]

Yup. Not recommended for someone with undiagnosed autisme.

[sharp dome]

Added Surrey, UK yesterday. Perhaps some of those who tried to get in to the overbooked London event fancy a short trian ride. https://lu.ma/wc470n36

[tardy plinth]

I am in the process of updating all the events and calendar now! :3

[mystic elk]

Oh. Now 73 74 others.

[mystic elk]

Just a free field typo. Data of the location is correct. @tardy plinth i think you reached your Horcrux limit

[tardy plinth]

🙈

I've edited it.

[tardy plinth]

If you are a host, I have sent off an email today with swag instructions!

[west charm]

Vamos latin america!!!

[spice comet]

Hello everyone, I'm the CTO of IoTorero (formerly Athom). We'd like to sponsor some products for this community event day free of charge, but it seems a bit late now since there are only ten days left before the event starts. Or do you have any good suggestions?😉

[covert pewter]

Happy Tuesday!

Anybody in South Florida, Southwest Florida, or Central Florida looking for a meetup?

There will be Shelly loot if you register and come out!

https://lu.ma/47rhkdji

[tardy plinth]

Hi Aiden! What’s your fastest shipping times? It may be possible to provide something to events closer to y’all if those are higher.

Feel free to DM me. We can see if this is doable. 😊

[dawn sentinel]

@tardy plinth I'd like to print some circular stickers, but there are no assets in the folder you shared via email that lend themselves to a circular print. This one is available on the HA store but isn't in the assets folder. Can it be added?

By the way, I am struggling to find any local shops that will produce a single item of custom clothing; most have much higher minimum orders. Is it not possible for hosts to order (and be reimbursed) apparel (or stickers, for that matter) from the HA store and have the orders rushed in some way? (I understand that this might not be workable; hence the change from you all mailing swag directly to us being encouraged to produce locally.)

Third and final question: the email says that hosts will be reimbursed for "2 stickers per registered visitor, up to 200 CHF."

But we don't know how many registered visitors we will ultimately have on the day, so we probably want to err on the side of ordering extra. You seem to agree, saying that "ordering around 100 stickers is a good number." But will you still reimburse us for all 100 stickers, even if we only end up having, say, 20 registered attendees?

[tardy plinth]

I actually don't even think we have that original asset anymore. 😅 I have a folder with other formatting, one moment while I upload those. 😄

[tardy plinth]

So, I will say that it's probably okay that you use the current store, but I'll also say that a lot of people are really unhappy with its quality and sometimes they don't get the products for weeks when it comes to shirts. Proceed with that knowledge, just to be prepared.

[tardy plinth]

Some companies actually require a minimum purchase for stickers, too. I'll work with hosts for this one - I know stickers in particular are fairly cheap for just 100 pieces.

(I also ran the message past leadership before I sent it out, so they are aware that I said 100 pieces is probably good to order.)

[tardy plinth]

Here is the folder with updated images for printing stickers. Laura is one of our colleagues hosting the Madrid meetup, but this is located in the Stickers folder in the Assets I shared yesterday. https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1nYuK4mdmBm4Nu51d7j_KPjAnSwONgQhb

[dawn sentinel]

Those stickers are hilarious! I might see if I can get some of those printed

[west charm]

jajaja this is the best

arg is the arch enemy of brazil

[mystic elk]

Will there be a find home assistant stickers contest may the 25th?

[tardy plinth]

LOL

[mystic elk]

Post on social media and the most creative find wins a tshirt.

[tardy plinth]

I think it would be cute to ask people to share photos of stickers of ours you find in the wild.

[mystic elk]

btw as a american when you write down LOL and say it out loud what do you guys say.
dutch just say lol. because that means having fun.

[tardy plinth]

This is the second time someone attacked me for being American today.
-# joke
Personally, I do a cheeky "lul" when I say it. Others just ...you know...laugh I guess? They're weird..

[mystic elk]

sorry i did not mean it as a attack. just wondered. ( i used a mix of products today)

do you know what lul means in dutch?

[tardy plinth]

LOL no one has actually attacked me about being American, I'm being hyperbolic. 😄

[tardy plinth]

yes, yes I do. And it makes me say it more.

[mystic elk]

good for you. dont hold back on dutch telivision they dont beeb it out

[keen quartz]

If anyone is ordering stickers in the UK, I found that the local printers I tried in Manchester were expensive and their lead time was too long (12 days). I used StickerShop who were reasonably priced and could print and deliver quickly. With a bit more notice I would have tried to coordinate an order for all the UK events, which would have been much cheaper per sticker, but that is something for next time!

[dapper harness]

could we please have one asset in postcard format, which contains all 5 assets (include the custom cutlines) so we could let print sticker cards ... they cost nearly the same as a single sticker, but would contain all 5 motifs ^^

[tardy plinth]

Requested!

[tardy plinth]

Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh there are a few things that complicated this whole thing. Originally I was going to send everything out, then we ran into a complication with that, realized I'd need to ship to countries that may take forever to receive.

It's definitely noted for the next Community Day.

[odd frost]

Is there anywhere that hosts can collaborate with each other to see what everyone is doing, come up with ideas, and discuss things as they come up?

We have a great list of events scheduled for the Columbus, Ohio meetup but now I want to know what others are doing!

https://lu.ma/c05easbv

[tardy plinth]

Not that I have seen yet! I honestly didn't think of something like this until people started asking, so next Community Day I am going to make a private channel to add hosts to. 🙂

[odd frost]

https://tenor.com/view/sick-cody-ko-wade-the-real-bros-of-simi-valley-are-you-sick-gif-17001810

[west charm]

nice!!!

[dapper harness]

I don't want to rush, but the sticker printing service has a delivery time of 5 working days 🙈 sooo do we've an ETA for the sticker card asset? 😬 🙈 😊

[tardy plinth]

I poked!

[tardy plinth]

2 files have been placed into the asset folder for Stickers. Clelia said she couldn't get it onto one file but added in a cut contour - important to note that the bleed is not in there. Please let me know if you need that bleed for printing, though.

[dapper harness]

if you meen the cutline with bleed, it is in the files or do i miss something? (I'm quite new to the sticker printing business 🙈 )

[tardy plinth]

It's in the file! Clelia provides assets that are good for printing, so if your printer decides they suck, lemme know and we can adjust. 😄

[dapper harness]

order is placed, desired delivery date is Friday 23.5. 🤞

[tardy plinth]

I'll say that in my experience, sticker printers are often faster than they estimate. so 🤞 !!

[west charm]

in my case.. eta was 5 days and take 2

[dapper harness]

😎

[west charm]

wooooooooow!!!!!

[tardy plinth]

I did something similar, cannot wait to get mine!

[west charm]

good luck every host !!!! lets crush the community day:)

[wooden jay]

And still waiting for stamped T-shirts!! The blacks are keychains

[dapper harness]

[ember grotto]

[vagrant nova]

I tihnk there are people who will haunt your dreams if you use the old logo 😛

[west charm]

jajaja

[west charm]

can you share files???

[wooden jay]

Yes! Do you have multicolor printer?

How can I share with you the files? Talk to me in Telegram, @wooden jay

[west charm]

[wooden jay]

Oki

[west charm]

[wooden jay]

Old logo ❤️ 😂

[tardy plinth]

@dusty rivet okay how do we deal with this one? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[west charm]

I haven't gone through and added new events since...I think Wednesday last week. I'm updating things today. 😄

[ember grotto]

Retro not old 😉

[tardy plinth]

Ah, I see what happened! I don't have Manager access. If you give me that, I can update the event to be on the calendar. 😄

[cosmic olive]

done

[tardy plinth]

Awesome! Got it on the calendar.

[empty atlas]

Rat's Mouth is a bit far to go for Central FL...hoping someone does something in Orl, maybe at UCF or something.

[covert pewter]

100%, sir. I hope somebody in your area hosts something, but I am not turning away anybody and if you have to drive extra, I'll make sure you get extra loot as a thank you 🙂

[empty atlas]

I do like the Shellys and have a variety.

[vagrant nova]

I can't wait till I fit my new apartment with shelly devices

[covert pewter]

I loved Shelly so much that I joined the team almost 6 years ago 🙂

[west charm]

hahah nice!

[covert pewter]

🙂 there is a long, roundabout story that concerns me going to work for Shelly and this very Discord server, but this isn't the thread for it. I should remember to share it on Saturday!

[west charm]

😉

"It's amazing to live in a small country, but sometimes I miss the opportunity of working in small companies."

or startups

[tardy plinth]

They’re so good omg.

[tardy plinth]

AAAAANNNNNND my shirt is here, too!

[empty atlas]

I'd love to go. It sounds like it would be a great time sharing HA stories, but a 3 hour drive down there is just not in the cards for this weekend. Maybe next time.

[vagrant nova]

Miss, you still have the card in your neck

[dapper harness]

"my" are still on the way ... I hope they will arrive in time 🤞

[tardy plinth]

I actually forgot I had it on the rest of the day, too. Until I went to pick up my niece and it slapped the back of my head.

[tardy plinth]

Newly added events - May 22

• Perpignan, France
• Ghent, Belgium
• Andernach, Germany
• Alba, Italy
• Solkan, Slovenia
• Berwyn, PA (Western Mainline)
• Timisoara, Romania
• Lagos, Nigeria

And I want to call out an update to the Bay Area meetup. They have split out their Hackathon and Community Day events - their Hackathon is tomorrow night. If you signed up for their event, make sure you register for the Community Day event again!

That's my last update for events before the actual day!

Hosts should have received an email from me earlier (if you're like @vagrant nova, you got a giant waving hand attached to it). If anyone in here not a host attends a meeting, please share photos here with me so I can use them for the blog post! And if you post anything on socials, please use #HADay2025 so I can find it.

[vagrant nova]

👋🏻

[dapper harness]

Finally they arrived 🥳

[ember grotto]

@tardy plinth can you help with an svg from the retro rainbow logo?

[tardy plinth]

No, I can’t. I don’t think we even have it anymore (we just cancelled the product we used years ago to make it), but we also don’t want the old logo out there outside of our store merch right now.

I may be able to get our designer to do an updated version with the new logo - especially since we’re coming up on Pride Month in June. But that means we won’t have it in time for these meetups. 😔

[lavish siren]

The Chicago meetup will (should) have some snacks, and a raffle for some free gear graciously donated by Apollo Automation, and (indirectly) Athom. There will also be tours of our hacker space.

https://lu.ma/ewfhmp4u

[covert pewter]

If you’re in Slovenia or Italy, the Shelly Wave team is hosting a meetup at our office in Solkan:

https://lu.ma/z2kbk2lr

Also, if you’re in South Florida, come by our meetup in Boca Raton! If meeting other HA users is persuasive but not convinced yet, we’ll, there will also be merch from Shelly (and free Mini 1 Gen3 relays):

https://lu.ma/47rhkdji

Look at all those tool bags of merch!

[vagrant nova]

Happy community day!

#haday2025 was a success in Columbus, Ohio. We had products from Zooz, Inovelli, Apollo Automation, and Reolink that we gave away. It was great meeting fellow HA users and talking about the products we used, what works best, and anything else that came up 🙂

Good morning Friends. How can I get the photos of the Home Assistant Community Day Meetup Madrid 2025? Thank yoy so much! Best regards.

[tardy plinth]

I am actually drafting the recap blog for next week as we speak, good timing! This is the photo that Laura shared with me - I haven't yet looked on socials for event photos, so it's possible there are more!

[tardy plinth]

btw - I've started submitting reimbursements for hosts who have requested it. I should be through everyone by tomorrow, so if you haven't heard back from me yet you will!

[mossy trench]

Damn, missed this one. 😱
I'll be there for the next one then! 🩵
