Home Assistant

Network and Internet Systems

Home Assistant is a free and open source home automation platform that acts as a central hub connecting smart home devices from many different manufacturers. Developer Paulus Schoutsen created it in September 2013 as a Python application and released it publicly on GitHub that November. The platform emphasizes local control rather than dependence on cloud services, letting it run independently of any one vendor's ecosystem. It is released under the Apache License 2.0, runs on Linux based systems such as Raspberry Pi and Intel NUC hardware, and uses Python on the backend with a TypeScript based web interface.
