    It's time for the August Newsletter 🎉 This month we sow the seeds, you grow the (open) home 🌱. We're talking about HAIR, the ESPHome Starter Kit and publishing our Home Assistant Survey dataset! Read on 👇 newsletter.openhomefoundation.org/we-sow-the-see… #HomeAssistant #Newsletter #SmartHome
    An image taken from the header artwork of the Open Home Foundation Newsletter. Artwork by Clelia Rella. 

The illustration is in a hand-drawn style, it shows a single tree sapling in a deep green open meadow. The sun setting behind the sapling causing the sky to be a pale peach color. 

The sky has white clouds and wisps that look like gusts of wind. Within those gusts are distant saplings being lifted into the sky. Each sapling has a person clinging on to the roots.  

In the top left of the image, is the Open Home Foundation logo in black.

    Shh 🤫 If you're at IFA this year, don't forget to come by our booth and grab some stickers.
    A Silver laptop sits on a grey back drop with its screen open and facing away from you. On the back of the screen it is plastered with various Open Home Foundation and Home Assistant stickers.  5 of the stickers are pixelated, you can't tell what they are representing besides their rough colours. 

The bottom left of the image has the text "Come by our booth to grab your stickers". The bottom right has the IFA Berlin logo with the text "IFA 4-8 Sept 2026, Hall 1.2 - 153". 

The top left has the Open Home Foundation logo.

    Mark your calendars, because Community Day returns on Saturday, November 7, 2026! 🎉 We'll be releasing full details (with a fresh website 👀) in September, but read on for a sneak peak at some exciting changes for this year's event - link in the 🧵
    A social image that reflects the opengraph from the blog created by our Marketing Designer, Jonas Hoffman. On a green color palette background covering the top half of the image is a 3D version of the icon we use to signify our community - a white circle with two white, pointed ovals under the circle creating a person, surrounded by green pointed ovals connected to look like leaves. On the bottom half of the image in black is the Home Assistant, ESPHome, and Music Assistant logos and text that reads: Community Day 2026 Organized by YOU and the <logo> Open Home Foundation. Below the Community Day text is a white pill box with the date Saturday, November 7 in black text.
