The little smart home platform that could - programming.dev
- Home Assistant is now part of the Open Home Foundation, a non-profit aiming to
fight against surveillance capitalism and offer privacy, choice, and
sustainability. - The foundation will own and govern all Home Assistant
entities, including the cloud, and has plans for new hardware and AI
integration. - Home Assistant aims to become a mainstream smart home option with
a focus on privacy and user control, while also expanding partnerships and
certifications.
Is HA not already the mainstream option for privacy and user control? Maybe I just live in a bubble, but it seems like it’s already the go-to if you care about those things.
I took it to mean they’re going to put it in prettier packaging, simplifying its use for the average Joe.
I have been using it for years and still find some things confusing. Like idk why it’s so hard to figure out how to customize the dashboard and create new widgets for it. I’ve been a professional web dev for 8 years and if I’m struggling with it, you can bet most people aren’t even going to bother. Idk what’s so hard about providing simple html, css, and js like every other web framework.
