Here's five HACS Integrations to IMPROVE Your Home Assistant Setup

It would be helpful if you did chapter markers to jump between to different Integrations. For example, I don't have anything Alexa in my house and would rather skip that bit.

I'm using most of those, apart from the swipe navigation, which, incidentally, you haven't included a link to. Good stuff though. Always interesting to hear what HACS components other people use.

[@Byteofgeek]

Thanks for letting me know about that Dave, updated the description to include it now and great to see others using similar components as well.

I enjoyed you calm walk thru. I haven't checked yet but do you have a step by step on the alexa ... I have my grand kids room to play a harry potter sound and when they are here the volume always is too low. I tried to see how you did the volume control.

[@Byteofgeek]

Thanks for watching and the feedback. I don't have anything yet on the Alexa bit but I'm planning on doing some quick videos on stuff like that so watch this space 👍
