Wow that is really impressive. Home assistant is something I’ve been meaning to get in to for a while, but the amount of time it seems like it would take to set all that up and maintain it seems daunting. Sounds fun though!

The nice thing is, you can start small. Thats how everyone does it really, just add one thing at a time, most of which is fairly simple. Just some hue motion sensors and lights can make for some nice automations.

I used Home Assistant to graph my pool temp, and control my pump so that I made most use out of our solar heaters.
