With a new ownership structure, Home Assistant is making its next big move
  • Home Assistant is now part of the Open Home Foundation, a non-profit aiming to fight against surveillance capitalism and offer privacy, choice, and sustainability.
  • The foundation will own and govern all Home Assistant entities, including the cloud, and has plans for new hardware and AI integration.
  • Home Assistant aims to become a mainstream smart home option with a focus on privacy and user control, while also expanding partnerships and certifications.

    The assistant in your phone is not the same as home assistant.

    Home assistant is mostly used to group all your smart home stuff and create automations.

    Being a technical person myself, most people I know want to try it but don’t have the use for it due to living in appartments.
