Home Assistant
Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first.

Home Assistant is an open-source home automation platform that integrates with over a thousand smart home devices and services. It runs locally on your own hardware, keeping all data on-premise without relying on the cloud. Users can build automations, create custom dashboards, manage energy usage, and control devices via voice assistant.
Home Assistant runs on local hardware, automatically scans the network for known devices, integrates them, and provides an automation engine, dashboards, and voice control—all processed locally without cloud storage.
