Home automation
A home automation setup focused on local-first control, reliability, and practical day-to-day comfort without unnecessary cloud dependency.
Problem space
Most consumer smart-home setups optimize for convenience first, often at the cost of control, reliability, and privacy. I wanted a setup that stays usable when cloud dependencies fail and remains understandable over time.
At a glance
- Core stack: Loxone + Home Assistant
- Daily scope: lights, switches, cleaning robots, printer ink levels, sound system control
- Principle: local-first where possible, cloud only when necessary
- Current focus: reliability, maintainability, and practical household value
Status
Current status: stable core setup with ongoing refinements. New automations are added selectively, based on real household needs and long-term maintainability.
