Who is Home Assistant for?
Home Assistant is used by millions of households around the world, ranging from people setting up their first smart home to long-time enthusiasts.
In its early years, Home Assistant was primarily a project for developers and hobbyists, and a lot of older articles still describe it that way. The project has grown a lot since then, and the user base has grown with it. Today, plenty of people who would not call themselves technical use Home Assistant every day.
It is a particularly good fit if you:
- Want your smart home to work with any brand of device, not just one ecosystem.
- Prefer your data and automations to stay in your own home.
- Want your smart home to keep working when the internet or a vendor’s cloud goes down.
- Are tired of juggling a separate app for every brand you own.
Home Assistant Green provides an easy entry point if you are new to the world of smart homes, and the same Home Assistant grows with you as you add more devices and ideas.
