<p>I got that little Home Assistant box <a href="https://www.home-assistant.io/green/">home-assistant.io/green/</a><br>

<br>

I can highly recommend Home Assistant in general, I was recommended it by <a href="https://nitter.net/johnonolan" title="John O'Nolan">@johnonolan</a> and <a href="https://nitter.net/daniellockyer" title="Daniel Lockyer">@daniellockyer</a> I remember<br>

<br>

When I bought my house I hated home automation and didn't want any, cause I had so many bad experiences with some app you have to install in a hotel room or Airbnb and it always sucked so bad with some stupid iPad and there's no light swtiches, gladly F off<br>

<br>

99% of home automation is just terrible<br>

<br>

Home Assistant is open source and it's cool because everyone else with it makes plugins (integrations) to connect any device to it<br>

<br>

Which solves the biggest problem in home automation, there's many different walled gardens: Amazon has Alexa, Apple has Homepod, Google has Google Home, and when you buy a smart device, it'll only work with a few of them or only one<br>

<br>

That's where Home Assistant comes in, because it's open source, people hack all these devices to work on Home Assistant, so you can actually control EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING<br>

<br>

Our house came with a KNX system installed by the electricians, KNX is some more low level home automation system but also quite open, and last week he helped me export his KNX project file and add it my Home Assistant and it's great because everything still has regular light buttons<br>

<br>

But now I can fix tiny annoyances in this house easily with AI talking to Home Assistant, like shut off the annoying toilet vent that people forget to switch off and just auto switch off after 15 min, or make the lights red at 10pm, or kill those ugly Portugal white LED spots permanently<br>

<br>

Home automation is best when it gets into the background and just does things and doesn't annoy you like I said that 99% of home automation integrations in hotels and Airbnb do<br>

<br>

It should be analog by default (analog switches) and then customizable on top of that</p>
