About Home Assistant

Home Assistant is a free, open-source home automation platform designed to put local control and privacy first. It runs on a Raspberry Pi or any local server and supports thousands of integrations with smart home devices, services, and platforms — all managed from a single, unified interface. Built with a modular architecture, Home Assistant makes it easy to add support for new devices or create custom automations and components. It operates entirely on your local network by default, meaning your smart home data stays in your home without relying on third-party cloud services. Home Assistant is backed by the Open Home Foundation and powered by a worldwide community of tinkerers and developers. It includes a live demo, extensive documentation, tutorials, and a large help community via Discord.
