SMS and Voice Home Assistant Component Documentation

Home Assistant is an open-source home automation platform designed to allow users to control and automate their smart home devices through a central interface. It supports a wide range of smart devices like lights, thermostats, cameras, and sensors, enabling users to monitor and control them locally without relying on cloud services. Home Assistant allows for automations by creating custom rules and triggers, such as turning on lights upon motion detection or adjusting the thermostat at specific times. It also integrates with voice assistants like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa and offers customizable dashboards for viewing and controlling the home environment. Home Assistant is ideal for users looking to build a personalized, secure, and scalable smart home system.
