I have many different 'smart' devices at home and no centralized system to manage them all. Plus, I'm concerned about privacy and am an ardent Open Source proponent. I immediately decided to invest in Home Assistant.
My goals are to enhance privacy and control by adopting an open-source, local-first approach to home automation. This should allow me to effectively manage various devices without compromising on privacy.
My smart home didn't start as a conscious thought but as a speaker's gift of DevFest Vienna. Google wanted to promote Google Home Mini, which was part of the package.
After initially setting up basic smart devices with Google Home, I felt the need for more control and integration, hence my move towards adopting Home Assistant for my smart home.
