About Home Assistant

Home Assistant is an open-source home automation platform that has gained increasing popularity within the DIY community. Unlike the cloud-based solutions offered by Alexa, Google Home, and Siri, Home Assistant operates locally on your hardware, claiming better data privacy and customization. However, this setup comes with a steep learning curve and requires significant technical knowledge and comfort with managing your own smart home system. For those seeking a more straightforward solution, the mainstream options of Alexa, Google Home and Siri are likely a better fit.
