The speech briefing compares Airly's nearest-monitor CAQI with Pirate Weather's US EPA AQI without averaging the two scales. Normal air stays silent; only an abnormal reading adds a calm, useful warning to the announcement.

Browse [](config/templates/speech/briefing.yaml) and [issue #1834](https://github.com/CCOSTAN/Home-AssistantConfig/issues/1834) for the implementation notes.
The phone-first Overview view uses two columns of large controls for garage doors, the front-door lock, thermostats, and compact alerts. Packages opens the doorbell camera, Systems opens the desktop control center, and large back buttons keep the drill-throughs easy to reverse.

- This is the public, README-friendly deployment summary for the Home Assistant repository.
- The topology is sourced from the workspace `AGENTS.md` inventory and stays high-level enough for GitHub browsing.
- `docker10` and `codex-appliance` are pinned to ProxMox1; durable VM storage is represented by `Prox-NFS01`.
- `codex-appliance` is summarized as the Codex/MCP runtime plus admin and service agents.
- `docker14`, `docker17`, and `docker69` are shown as shared-storage Docker VMs because the current workspace inventory does not pin them to one Proxmox node.
- `docker10`, `codex-appliance`, `docker17`, and `docker69` run on ProxMox1; `docker14` runs alone on ProxMox2.
- All five Docker VMs keep their durable disks on shared `Prox-NFS01` storage.
- `codex-appliance` is summarized as the Codex/MCP runtime plus OneNote indexers, admin UI, and service agents.
- `docker10` owns the Home Assistant core stack; `wyze-bridge` stays there and Frigate on `docker14` consumes its RTSP feed.
- `docker17` groups LAN-only tools and internal apps; `docker69` groups Cloudflare-tunneled public apps and WordPress.
- The diagram intentionally summarizes service groups rather than every container, port, or private path.
