What is Home Assistant? (2021)

In this video I am taking a very high level look at what a Smart Home is and what Home Assistant is. I also talk about some of home assistants features. I will be trying to explain What is Home Assistant and giving some Pros and Cons on using it.

I discuss some limitations of a Smart Home that doesn't use an automation hub or Home Assistant, I then lightly talk about Home Assistant specific features.

If you have any comments or tips on how I can improve please let me know in the comments below. I will try to continuously improve my content, flow and production.

This is my first ever video for 2021!

I have a few videos lined up and can't wait to share more on my own smart home setup and guides on Home Assistant!
