Playing with Home Assistant
+++ Date changed +++ Date changed +++ Date changed +++ Date changed +++ Home automation is becoming ever more important. The components can now be bought in any DIY store. Our flats and houses are supposed to become “intelligent”. That is not always useful or sensible. But you can have a great deal of fun with it.
An assistant for the home
Starship Factory has been one playground richer for a few days: an instance of the free software Home Assistant for home automation has been installed on our cloud server. The server has also been fitted with a Zigbee USB stick, so that Zigbee-compatible devices can be controlled directly. Among these are products from Ikea’s inexpensive TRÅDFRI home automation range, but also lamps from Philips Hue.
