About

Home Assistant is the leading open-source smart home platform, and its REST API lets you read every device state and call any service from your own scripts. Authentication uses a long-lived token you generate inside your own installation. No cloud account or fee involved. It is perfect for local-first automations that keep working even without internet.

Details
