Home Assistant power users can now grant visitors limited control through HA‑Pass, an add‑on that creates temporary, scoped access links. The tool lets owners pick exact entities—lights, locks, thermostats—and generates a QR‑code or URL that expires after a set period. Installation is straightforward via the Home Assistant Add‑on Store or as a Docker companion container. Once the link lapses, access is automatically revoked, removing the need for manual user management.
Researchers identified a direct subcortical auditory pathway from the inferior colliculus and medial geniculate body to the basolateral amygdala, providing a “low‑road” route for rapid fear processing.
