Privacy & Security

Your data stays in your home. Home Assistant runs locally on your network. No one, not even its creators, has access to your cameras or your data.

Protocol Unification

Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, Bluetooth, WiFi. Home Assistant speaks all the "languages". Connect Philips Hue bulbs with IKEA switches and Xiaomi sensors without third-party hubs.

The heart of Home Assistant is the automation engine. Create rules with simple logic (UI Editor) or write advanced scripts in YAML.

➜ When the sun sets, turn on the exterior lights.
➜ If I am away and the door opens, send a notification.
➜ When the TV turns on, close the blinds (Movie Mode).
