Can you offer up a list of items that you were able to configure like this; or a reference point I could use to get started?

- erinnh 7y agoFor lightning I use the Ikea Tradfri brand, but afaik Philips Hue also works. (as do most ZigBee products with various bridges) The management solution in my home is OpenHab2, but Home Assistant also works fine. https://www.home-assistant.io/components/ https://www.home-assistant.io/components/ https://www.openhab.org/addons/ https://www.openhab.org/addons/ There are a few other products I use (for blinds, windows, heat), but you can often simply search the above two lists and read through the documentation whether they need internet (or "cloud") access or whether theyre totally local.
- slantyyz 7y agoWorth noting - if you want cloud access, it's a paid subscription (reasonably priced) add on for Home Assistant, and it's free for OpenHAB. I personally prefer OpenHAB over HomeAssistant, but the thing that annoys me about OpenHAB2 is that it doesn't have even rudimentary built in user management with authentication. The docs basically tell you to use something like Nginx to do that for you.
- Semaphor 7y ago> Worth noting - if you want cloud access, it's a paid subscription (reasonably priced) add on for Home Assistant if you want a super simple setup, they have manual guides for setting it up. And if you just want remote access and don't need Alexa/Google integration, it almost as simple manually.
