Getting Started with Home Assistant

Home Assistant is the most powerful and flexible smart home platform available. It runs locally, supports thousands of devices, and gives you complete control over your automation logic.

This course walks you through everything from initial installation to building custom dashboards and writing your first automations. You'll learn the different installation methods, how to add device integrations, the visual automation editor, and just enough YAML to customize when needed. We cover Zigbee and Z-Wave setup, the HACS community store, mobile app configuration, and the dashboard card system. No programming experience required.
