Self-host Home Assistant

The open-source hub for home automation — local control of thousands of smart devices, with automations that run entirely on your own hardware.

Key facts

What you need

• Any VPS with at least 2048 MB of RAM
• A domain you control — most self-hosted setups need HTTPS in front of them
• About an afternoon — budget time for troubleshooting
