Announced one year ago was KDE Internet of Things "Kiot" with an emphasis on providing nice integration between the KDE Plasma desktop and Home Assistant for handling open-source home automation. Development on Kiot sadly fell through the cracks for most of the year but development on it recently restarted.

KDE developer David Edmundson shared that Kiot development has recently been restarted thanks to contributions from new developer Odd Østlie. Odd has been working on new features around Bluetooth, audio device handling, battery state handling for different devices, media mplayer / MPRIS connection, and more.

Why wouldn't you?

This integration will likely require some level of effort to get working, and what benefit do you get from that that you can't get from opening the application in a window?

Perhaps HA can use that big GPU of yours for local LLM type stuff?

...huh? HA is typically run on a server. If you want to use your GPU to perpetuate AI disinformation, you can plug it into the server. But KDE is a workstation product...

Use your imagination is my advice. Plenty of programmes blur client/server boundaries and workstation roles. Desktop envs are very capable and wired into huge amounts of your machine
