My TOP 5 Add-ons for Home Assistant - 2025 Edition

It's the new year and time again for my TOP 5 Add-ons that I use in Home Assistant. Without these add-ons, I would have no smart home. I even talk about an add-on that I don't use anymore, because Home Assistant has come a long way and that one isn't needed.
