Make a Student Home 🏠 -> Smart 💡

You are probably wondering, what is Home Assistant!? Well, Home Assistant is a home automation platform running on Python 3. It is able to track and control all devices at home and offers a platform for automating control.

Story

During student life there is often that one phase where you will live on your own, I recently took that step but with an important goal. You could almost say "I am a man on a mission", because I want to make the 25m2 that I have a super smart house.

You can follow my entire adventure via student-techlife.com

Use the code from this repo for your own Home Assistant environment, keep in mind to not always copy everything line-by-line. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them via email or socials!

NOTE: This is not my first Home Assistant configuration that you can find on Github. Take also a look at these Home Assistant configuration repositories.
