Thank you @AIIX, updating links now. Also, we’ve got someone starting the project now :slight_smile:

Incredible! This was 80% of the reason I purchased my Mark II to begin with.

@Supovitz, I’m sure you’re not alone. It seems like such a great use for the Mark II. :slight_smile: Would you be up for testing it once its ready? If so. I’d love to connect you with the person working on it. Happy to send you a coupon code for a USB boot drive with the Neon OS on it.
Really, that goes for anyone who wants to do testing. Send me a PM for the coupon code, and please tell me if you’re outside the US. Here’s the Square site, which makes shipping it to people very easy for me.

Howdy!

I have plenty of USB drives I can image, and I am happy to test anything and everything for the community.

I can be reached quickly via email or discord. I will PM you both addresses.

Sent :slight_smile: Just need your email. If you don’t see the private message, you are also welcome to share it with me directly at clary@neon.ai

Hey there, please consider me a guinea pig!

Perfect timing! Thank you :slight_smile:
If you’re already running Neon, you can ask it to “enable pre-release updates”, next ask it to “check for updates” and update to the latest pre-release version in which the beta version of the Home Assistant skill will be available. If you don’t mind messaging or emailing me your own email I’ll add you directly to the thread with @mikejgray who is building it & @Supovitz and @DickeElfe who have also offered testing. They can give you more details.

I’ve run out of time tonight to play with it, but this is pretty exciting! Can’t seem to figure out how I DM you, but I’m happy to share my contact info directly/privately if there’s a way to do that :slight_smile:

I should be able to get to it later in the week or at latest, this weekend.

@NeonClary
what is the status of this project.

I saw there was something on specialized skills.

my neon wants me to give the URL, but I don’t see a way to have it attempt to connect.

the page that has the skill guide has this text for home assistant

Specialized Skills
:house:
Home Assistant

  • Skill to interface with Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/)
    Access this skill either by:
    ● Saying “Hey Neon, open Home Assistant dashboard”
    â—Ź Tapping the bottom of the screen on your Mark II for a menu of programs and selecting HA
    Next, enter your Home Assistant URL (for example ws://192.168.1.10 or
    wss://homeassistant.mydomain.com) and generate a QR code to sign in using a phone or tablet
13

Hey, welcome! The skill is available and lots of folks are running it. The QR code option works and you can also follow the directions in the README here: GitHub - mikejgray/neon-homeassistant-skill: A Neon AI Skill for Home Assistant, which integrates with ovos-PHAL-plugin-homeassistant.

Please reach out with questions or feel free to open issues.

Thanks,
Mike

@mikejgray
I will definitely reach out to you. I have the NabuCasa “Home Assistant Yellow” model.

I both this unit almost the same time My Croft II was taking orders. Both were ordered early and I did not mind waiting.

I never got many of the MyCroft skills fully working. It could be the directions were not as clear or the product was not as polished as I hoped.

I will review your Github page and if I get stuck I will reach out.

Thank you :slight_smile: for the quick reply to this post,
Patrick

Welcome to the community Patrick :slight_smile:

As I was reading your post, I wondered have you updated your Neon by re-flashing / creating a new boot drive at some point? We updated to 2.0 a while back, and that required a “hard” update, so if you hadn’t done that it would explain some issues and be an easy fix.
