Wonderful , this summarized the capabilities of this HAss > A Pi is totally optional, BTW. You can run HA on pretty much anything that runs Python3. > Home Assistant supports sensors and switches using GPIO pins (if you're running on a Pi, obviously) > Home Assistant is indeed an "aggregator" for a lot of different home automation devices. > Having all that information in one place means those various components can be controlled intelligently, based on all the available information, rather than just the small island each of them would be on their own.
