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,

Build 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 sunset
- Turn on lights slowly during sunset 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/rest_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/>`__, `Join <http://joaoapps.com/join/>`__, and `Jabber
(XMPP) <http://xmpp.org>`__
The system is built using a modular approach so support for other devices or actions can
be implemented easily. See also the `section on
architecture <https://home-assistant.io/developers/architecture/>`__
and the `section on creating your own
components <https://home-assistant.io/developers/creating_components/>`__.
