Your home, your rules: Home Assistant from the first device to an AI that knows your house.

Home Assistant connects lights, heating, sensors, solar systems and wallboxes from hundreds of manufacturers in one place, and it runs in your own home, not in someone else’s cloud. This book takes you all the way: from choosing the hardware to an assistant that analyzes your installation, writes automations and finds errors.

A family accompanies you through all 40 chapters. Alex, Kim, Mia and Ben build their smart home step by step, with real problems and real solutions. Every step was reproduced on a demo installation and is shown in more than 250 screenshots of Home Assistant 2026.10.

What you will learn:

Quick start: hardware, installation, first devices, first automation, backups and safe remote access
Fundamentals: entities, areas, dashboards, automations, scripts, helpers, templates and YAML, as much as you need
Wireless and devices: Zigbee, Matter, Thread, ESPHome and HACS, and when each one fits
Practice: light, notifications, garden, security, heating, PV surplus, energy dashboard, home battery and wallbox
Pro use with AI: Assist, local voice control and Claude with direct access to your Home Assistant, with working rules, impact reports and an emergency brake

Plus a free Companion: a package for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot that applies every chapter to your own home through short guided conversations.

For beginners who want to start right, and for experienced users who want to do more with their installation.
