Home Assistant

Home Automation

Local, privacy-first home automation with 1000+ integrations.

Home Assistant is a local-first, privacy-focused home automation platform backed by the Open Home Foundation, supporting over 1,000 integrations across virtually every smart-home brand and protocol (Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, Thread). It runs entirely on your own hardware, keeps automations working even without internet access, and never requires a cloud subscription.

Resource footprint

1024 MB RAM · 1 CPU

1 GB RAM / 1 core is a reasonable baseline for a home with 100+ entities across 1000+ available integrations. Footprint grows with the number of active integrations, automations, history retention and add-ons (e.g. running a local voice assistant or Zigbee/Z-Wave stacks in the same host).
