My House

I live in a small house of 25 square meters, my mission is to transform this space into the smartest student studio that can exist. On this page you can find what I use in terms of integration, add-ons and hardware. Also check out Github because you will find all of my code there.

If one of the links no longer works, let me know!

Host

Below is the hardware that I use to run Home Assistant. Many beginners always start with a Raspberry Pi, but with an eye on the future, an Intel Nuc is definitely recommended and you already have a complete set for € 250. If you find this just too expensive, consider the Odroid N2+.

1.Intel Arches Canyon NUC6CAYH -> running Proxmox
2.8GB Ram (2x 4GB)
3.120GB SSD

Integrations

For the most accurate list check out my Github repository. Note that due to the ADR-0010 decision, there will be a transition from YAML to UI config and this will make integrations disappear from my Github list.

Custom Integrations

Home Assistant is a large open source project, which means that every integration was once offered as Pull Requrest on Github to merge as native integration into Home Assistant. If an integration exists but it is not already native to Home Assistant, we speak of a custom integration, which you must load sideways into a separate folder.
