Kiln dashboard not configured
The Ewe & Kiln controller serves a web UI on the studio LAN.
Set its URL in Settings → Kiln (e.g. http://192.168.1.42/)
and it'll show up right here for Amy to monitor firings.

Kiosk
Weather location
Real local weather via Open-Meteo (no API key needed). Paste lat/lon from Google Maps — search your city, right-click your house, the coordinates appear in the menu.
Home Assistant
Family Hub talks to a Home Assistant instance for smart-home control
(lights, switches, climate, locks, scenes). HA runs locally in Docker;
see ~/family-hub-ha/README.md for the bring-up. Get a
long-lived access token in HA via Profile → Long-Lived Access Tokens.
family_hub.db in plain text. The token can be revoked any time from HA's Profile page.
{event, payload, ts} here on speaker-change, urgent-message, and timer events. Set up a webhook trigger automation in HA to consume.
Kiln (Ewe & Kiln)
URL of the Ewe & Kiln controller's web dashboard. The kiosk's left-nav Kiln tile embeds it via iframe so Amy can monitor a firing without a separate display. Empty = the tile shows a configure-me prompt. Pin the controller's DHCP lease (or set a static IP) so this URL doesn't drift.
Standby slideshow
After the kiosk sits on Today Focus for a while, fade into a full-screen photo slideshow. Tap or "Hey Harold" wakes it back. Photos live in a folder on the server — drop JPEGs / PNGs / HEICs in there.
/home/lee/family-photos/. Drop photos in via SFTP for now; the future PWA will let you upload from your phone.
Face recognition
Enroll faces so Harold can auto-identify who's at the kiosk. Capture 5-10 angles per person for best results. Biometric embeddings stay on this server — they never leave the LAN.
Enroll voices so Harold can attribute "Hey Harold" commands to the right family member even when nobody's at the camera. Capture 8 short phrases per person.
People checked below can unlock the admin panel by face — no password needed. Useful for skipping the on-screen keyboard at the kiosk. Requires the person to have face enrollments above.
Shopping categories (stores)
Each category is a store. The AI hint is what tells Harold which store to route items to (e.g. "bulk staples → Costco"). The model rebuilds its tool schema from these on every chat turn — no restart needed when you change them.
