What is Home Assistant?

Home Assistant is a free and open-source home automation software with a focus on local control and privacy. It has a huge range of device support, it features support for over 1000 brands and has over 3200 integrations to link it to practically anything. It’s described as “The glue that binds the Smart Home together”.

 

It’s versatility and compatibility make it one of the biggest smart home platforms in the world. It has over 2 million users and this figure is growing exponentially year on year. It’s also being supported by an army of contributors and is in constant development. In 2024 it was the biggest open source project on Github with 21,000 users contributing!

 

Not only is it open-source, it’s now been donated to the Open Home Foundation so it can’t bought or sold. That means it will continue to thrive for many years to come unlike closed-source manufacturer supported rivals which can be made End of Life at any point. Open-source also means supporting new features is open to anyone and there is zero chance of hidden features like reporting data home or data gathering without consent being used due to the code being available and open for anyone to scrutinise.

 

Home Assistant is free and always will be. However, we do encourage users to subscribe to their cloud access system Nabu Casa for a small monthly fee. This fee directly helps with the development of Home Assistant and will also enable an easy and secure way to access your smart home from anywhere in the world.

It doesn’t matter which manufacturer your smart home tech is made for, Home Assistant likely has an integration for it.

Once started, Home Assistant will automatically scan your network for known devices and allow you to easily set them up.

Then you can control, automate and view them all from the Home Assistant interface.

Get all your different brands finally working together with no effort at all.

Forget having an app for each of your smart home devices, integrate them all into Home Assistant and keep your smart home life organised and efficient!

With the official Home Assistant companion apps for iOS or Android phones, you can control your devices and be notified when things happen in your home, even on your wrist using the Apple Watch or Android Wear.

The apps can also be used to send your location home to use presence detection as part of your automations. Data is sent directly to your home, with no access by third-parties so you know it’s private and secure.

Having a hub for each manufacturer can be messy as well as an unnecessary waste of electric. 

With Zigbee, Z-Wave and now Thread / Matter devices we can integrate them into Home Assistant and do away with all that mess!

With all our Home Assistant installations, we take care of setting your dashboard up to how you like it. We make it easy to see and control everything. We can tailor the view on each of your phones, tablets and computers for every member of your family.

With Home Assistant’s advanced automation engine we can make all your devices work together in perfect harmony. It doesn’t matter what you’d like achieve, with Home Assistant there’s a way. When it comes to automation, only your imagination is the limit.

From simple tasks like turning on lights when the sun sets, or when coming home, to controlling the temperature for every room in your home depending on the time and occupancy.

Home Assistant communicates with compatible devices locally, with no need for a cloud or even an internet connection!

No data is stored in the cloud, and everything is processed locally so your privacy is secured.

If your internet goes down, no problem! Manufacturer servers gone down, no problem!
