Homeassistant

I have been using esphome with various m5stack controllers with home assistant for collecting environment data in my apartment. Being able to write a bit of yaml and have a fairly functional sensor is great.

I have been using the picture element card with some state badges to have a nice overview of my apartment and it has generally worked well. I noticed however with a recent update, that all of the badges had a much longer label and needed to look into what changed.

I have been experimenting with various habit tracking and home automation prototypes for quite a while. While I like the idea of having smart buttons around my house, they are a bit expensive for what I want to do with them, and I have not yet had luck getting an IKEA Tradfri button working. A few weeks ago, I recalled the NFC tag support in Home Assistant and wondered if I could use that.
