Home Assistant is the central hub for your self-managed smart home. It enables local, privacy-compliant control and monitoring of all connected devices without cloud dependencies. The software provides a comprehensive interface for automation and control of various device protocols. Due to its open-source nature, the software can be fully controlled and extended by the user.
