Home assistant – the journey begins :)

I haven’t made a new post in a while. However, I’ve been busy with home automation. I’ve had multiple issues with Domoticz – it always stopped working randomly and I had to reboot it. This has resulted in a really unstable home automation system 🙁

So I’ve decided to take a plunge and replace it. With Home Assistant. I’ve done this on two systems and so far – LOVE it. I currently have zero issues with it and it really works well with all kinds of browsers and setups.

I have it currently set-up at my home via docker instance and also on my village house via hass.io on a RPI3. I will give more info and example scripts on how to run either of them.

So far I’m very pleased with all the sensors and stuff I’ve been able to connect to it. Everything is open-source. I’ve had success connecting Zigbee, Z-Wave, 433 mhz sensors, MiLight, Espurna and so on. I will make posts about every single thing I’ve succeeded in 🙂 Stay tuned.
