About
At this meeting we'll discuss Home Assistant starting with a presentation covering the topic. The presentation will introduce Home Assistant, a powerful open-source platform for home automation that puts privacy, flexibility, and control back in your hands. We’ll explore its core functionality—how it integrates with hundreds of devices and services to create a unified smart home hub, all managed through an intuitive web and mobile interface. Attendees will learn about the various deployment options, from running Home Assistant OS on a Raspberry Pi or virtual machine, to containerized setups for more advanced users.
A central focus of the talk is how Home Assistant enables automation without relying on the cloud. We’ll demonstrate how to build smart routines that run locally—turning on lights based on motion, adjusting thermostats depending on presence, or triggering alerts from sensors—entirely disconnected from the internet. Whether you’re looking for a privacy-focused alternative to commercial smart home ecosystems or simply want more resilience and control, this session will show how Home Assistant can form the backbone of a truly independent, intelligent home.
