What is Home Assistant?
Home Assistant is an open-source operating system that prioritizes local device control and privacy. The system has the support of a large community. It can be powered by a Raspberry Pi or Home Assistant Yellow with Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, Seeed reTerminal , and a dual-gigabit Ethernet mini router or a local server such as the Seeed Odyssey Blue with an Intel Celeron J4125 processor. The Home Assistant system has a web-based user interface that can be accessed via a web browser or a dedicated app for Android and iOS. The system also supports voice assistants such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The voice assistant enables local control of smart home devices, offering better security, greater reliability, and greater flexibility than many cloud-connected devices.
