The Open Home Foundation fights for the principles of privacy, choice, and sustainability for smart homes. And for every
person who lives in one. It does this by supporting the development of open-source projects, and open connectivity and
communication standards.
It’s not often that the most privacy conscious choice is also the most reliable, easy to use, and flexible option for something, but Home Assistant checks all the boxes.

I just started using it myself here very recently and so far I’ve only set up one automation but it is very useful. What I am truly excited to see is the Works with Home Assistant program badge. That way I can look at a device that I’m interested in and see whether or not I should spend my money on it. I don’t want anything to do with a device that I need a fucking cloud account for.
