My Home Assistant setup is the control center for the house, connecting everyday devices, sensors, energy systems, and automations into one place. It brings together lighting, sprinklers, heating, cameras, temperature sensors, the electric car, and solar production so the house can react more intelligently instead of everything being managed separately.

Home automation in daily use

The setup handles practical automations around the house: lights that react to presence or schedules, sprinkler control for the garden, heating adjustments, camera monitoring, and temperature-based rules. The goal is not just to make things "smart", but to make the house easier to live with day to day.

Energy, solar, and EV integration

A big part of this project is energy monitoring and control. The system tracks two solar setups, one Enphase and one Deye, along with a 14 kW battery setup and the electric car. This makes Home Assistant useful not only for comfort, but also for understanding production, consumption, storage, and charging behavior.

A living home lab

This is an ongoing project rather than a finished app. Every new sensor, device, automation, or energy integration makes the system more useful. It is part smart home, part monitoring dashboard, and part home lab for experimenting with automation in a real house.
