Home Automation with Home Assistant

Study Notes

Luis del Valle, un normal person who managed to automate his home using Home Assistant or any other home automation controller, explains his experience.
Tacoma, a city in Washington state, known for its famous Tacoma Bridge, the shortest-lived bridge in history, collapsed due to insufficient consideration of aerodynamic forces and poor foundations.
Home Assistant, a home automation controller, is a software installed on a server that manages communication between sensors and actuators based on predefined rules.
Sensors and actuators, essential components of a home automation system, communicate with the server using various technologies such as WiFi, Z-wave, and the new Matter protocol.
A home automation system consists of a user (administrator), a controller (brain), a server, and sensors and actuators (devices) that monitor and control household appliances.
Home Assistant can be configured to respond to certain events or conditions, such as turning on a light when a human is detected in the hallway or signaling an alarm when an intruder is detected in the garden.
Home automation devices can be divided into two categories: those that submit to the system's rules and those that follow the user's instructions.
