Over the past three and a half years I’ve accrued a lot of experience with the frankly amazing home automation software called Home Assistant. More and more device makers are joining the “Works With Home Assistant” program, and in general HASS is getting easier to use and more feature rich by the day. Since I’ve spent so long testing devices, writing automations and even making my own smart devices, I thought I’d share my favourite things to use with Home Assistant. I’ve specifically picked my top five, which includes both incredibly useful and powerful free software, and devices that are worth every penny. Let’s dive in, starting from five and working to my favourite at number one!
