Cloudless Home Automation in a Cloudy World

Presented at PhreakNIC 22 (2018), Oct. 19, 2018, 11 a.m. (45 minutes).

Having a smart home is rad, but it seems like each day reveals a new Alexa vulnerability or some 3rd-party service shutting down. Take back the power of smart home ownership by running your own smart home system!

Tyler will go through the features, setup, configuration, and limitations of Home Assistant, a powerful and flexible Open Source home automation application. Learn how to control lights, secure your setup, schedule events, create automations, and even add your own custom devices!
