===========================================================================================================

Home Assistant is a home automation platform running on Python 3. The
goal of Home Assistant is to be able to track and control all devices at
home and offer a platform for automating control.

To get started:

.. code:: bash

    python3 -m pip install homeassistant
    hass --open-ui

Check out `the website <https://home-assistant.io>`__ for `a
demo <https://home-assistant.io/demo/>`__, installation instructions,
tutorials and documentation.

Built home automation on top of your devices:

-  Keep a precise history of every change to the state of your house
-  Turn on the lights when people get home after sun set
-  Turn on lights slowly during sun set to compensate for less light
-  Turn off all lights and devices when everybody leaves the house
-  Offers a `REST API <https://home-assistant.io/developers/api/>`__
   and can interface with MQTT for easy integration with other projects
   like `OwnTracks <http://owntracks.org/>`__
-  Allow sending notifications using
   `Instapush <https://instapush.im>`__, `Notify My Android
   (NMA) <http://www.notifymyandroid.com/>`__,
   `PushBullet <https://www.pushbullet.com/>`__,
   `PushOver <https://pushover.net/>`__, `Slack <https://slack.com/>`__,
   `Telegram <https://telegram.org/>`__, and `Jabber
   (XMPP) <http://xmpp.org>`__

The system is built modular so support for other devices or actions can
be implemented easily. See also the `section on
architecture <https://home-assistant.io/developers/architecture.html>`__
and the `section on creating your own
components <https://home-assistant.io/developers/creating_components.html>`__.
