Home Assistant is open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. Powered by a worldwide community of tinkerers and DIY enthusiasts. Perfect to run on a Raspberry Pi or a local server. Available for free at home-assistant.io
I mainly use HA for monitoring, have only 1 automation which turns on a heating-wire when outside temp drops below 3C.
I have been slowly adding automations. The largest automation I have is motion lighting for the first floor of my home. I calculate a minimum percentage based on percentage occupancy. So the more you occupy the home, the brighter the unoccupied rooms will be. This started as a project to avoid turning on lights in the middle of the night while making bottles for a newborn. I prefer to program in Node Red.
