About this audiobook
If your smart plugs, bulbs, and thermostat each live in their own phone app, and every one of them wants a cloud account, you already know the feeling: more gadgets, less control. Home Assistant Made Simple is written for readers over sixty who want one private system running their home, without the jargon or the fear of breaking something. In plain language and gentle numbered steps, Walter Hemsley walks you through setting up a Home Assistant Green, connecting the smart devices you already own, and building your first morning and evening automations. You will also learn how to use voice control without sending your conversations to the cloud, and how to keep your smart home private and secure. By the last page, you will have a working setup that runs at home, not on someone else's server. Take the first quiet step today.
