It was developed to provide a unified user interface and simple, flexible control for a wide range of smart home devices from different ecosystems. Here are some points in favor of Home Assistant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Compatibility<\/strong>Home Assistant supports thousands of devices and services from various manufacturers, including lighting, air conditioning, heating, cameras, weather sensors, voice assistants and more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Local control<\/strong>Unlike many commercial smart home platforms that rely on cloud services, Home Assistant runs locally on your network. This means increased privacy and reliability, as your smart home devices work even without an active internet connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Automation and scenes<\/strong>One of the main features of Home Assistant is the ability to create complex automations and scenarios. For example, you can have lights turn on automatically when it gets dark, or turn on the heating when the temperature drops below a certain level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simple user interface<\/strong>Home Assistant offers a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to monitor and control devices. This interface is fully customizable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Integration with voice assistants<\/strong>Home Assistant can be integrated with voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to enable voice-controlled control of your smart home devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Open source and community-driven<\/strong>Since Home Assistant is open source, it is supported by an active community that is constantly developing new integrations and improving existing ones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Data protection and security<\/strong>As a locally running platform, Home Assistant has the advantage that the data remains within its own network. This protects privacy and increases security compared to cloud-based solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In summary, Home Assistant is a powerful and flexible solution for those who want to design their own smart home and control their devices centrally, regardless of the manufacturer or ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"atkp-container atkp-grid_3_columns-box  atkp-template-grid_3_columns\">\n            <div class=\"atkp-clearfix atkp-box-3-cols\">\n                            <div class=\"atkp-box atkp-smallbox atkp-box-3-cols-item atkp-clearfix\">\n                    <div class=\"atkp-thumb\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"atkp-image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31EK9S2ItdL._SL160_.jpg\"\n                                 alt=\"Refoss EM06P Smart Meter 3 phases, 6-channel electricity meter WLAN | Open API &amp; Home Assistant, no subscription | 5 years free data, energy monitor for balcony power plant &amp; PV, 120A CT, top-hat rail\"\/>\n                                            <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"atkp-content\">\n                                                    <a class=\"atkp-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/dp\/B0FD9MQ8Z4?tag=sasbro0a-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Buy now at Amazon\">Refoss EM06P Smart Meter 3 phases, 6-channel electricity meter WLAN | Open API &amp; Home Assistant, no subscription | 5 years free data, energy monitor for balcony power plant &amp; PV, 120A CT, top-hat rail*<\/a>\n                                                <div class=\"atkp-author\">by Refoss<\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"atkp-bottom\">\n                        <div class=\"atkp-ratingbar\">\n                                                            <div class=\"atkp-rating\"><span class=\"atkp-star atkp-star-0 atkp-star-00\" title=\"0.00 of 5 stars\"><\/span><\/div>\n                                                        <div class=\"atkp-primelogo\"><\/div>\n                            <div class=\"atkp-clearfix\"><\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                                    <span class=\"atkp-price atkp-saleprice\">\n                                Price: \u20ac 77.97\n                                                                    <span class=\"atkp_price atkp-baseprice\"><\/span>\n                                                            <\/span>\n                                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/dp\/B0FD9MQ8Z4?tag=sasbro0a-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Buy now at Amazon\" class=\"atkp-button\">Buy now on Amazon*<\/a>\n                        \n                        \n                                                    <span class=\"atkp-priceinfo\">Price incl.

As soon as consumption drops significantly (e.g. at the end of the spin cycle), you will receive a notification on your smartphone. At the same time, the Refoss R11 can automatically switch off the socket to prevent standby consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%8C%A1%EF%B8%8F_2_Lufter_automatisch_bei_Heizbetrieb_aktivieren\"><\/span>\ud83c\udf21\ufe0f 2. Activate fan automatically in heating mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If an infrared heating panel or fan heater is used, you can also detect its activity via the power consumption. As soon as the consumption rises above a certain value (e.g. when the device is heating), Home Assistant activates the Refoss R11 to switch on an additional fan or circulation pump, for example - automatically and in line with the heating output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%94%8C_3_Abschalten_vergessener_Gerate\"><\/span>3. switching off forgotten devices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Appliances such as an iron or hotplate can be dangerous if left unattended for long periods of time. You can use an ammeter to detect if the appliance is drawing high power for a long time. Home Assistant can then automatically switch off the Refoss R11 and send you a warning - so you avoid the risk of fire or unnecessary power consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%92%A1_4_Licht_automatisch_abschalten_bei_Nichtnutzung\"><\/span>4. automatically switch off the light when not in use<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some lamps or lighting systems are accidentally left on even though they are hardly used - this can also be detected by very low power consumption (e.g. less than 3 watts). If consumption remains low for a longer period of time, Home Assistant can switch off the light via the Refoss R11 to save energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%9B%8B%EF%B8%8F_5_TV-gesteuerte_Ambiente-Beleuchtung\"><\/span>\ud83d\udecb\ufe0f 5. TV-controlled ambient lighting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your TV is connected via a smart socket with power metering, Home Assistant can detect whether you are watching TV. As soon as the TV is switched on and consumes power, the backlight or an Ambilight is automatically activated via the Refoss R11. If the TV is switched off later, the light is automatically deactivated again - without any manual intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"youtube\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Umsetzung_im_YouTube-Video\"><\/span>YouTube video implementation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/mCqH-7ruuHA\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%A4%9D_Community_Austausch\"><\/span>\ud83e\udd1d Community &amp; exchange<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Refoss actively supports the DIY and home assistant community.
