Análise das instalações do home assistant e desenvolvimento de automação residencial

Abstract

Home automation, also known as domotics, has become a major technological trend in recent years. This phenomenon is driven by the pursuit of greater comfort, convenience, and security in the management of home environments. The possibility offered by home automation to control lights, sensors, smart plugs, and various other smart devices allows users to perform remote commands that bring practicality and comfort to their daily routines. In this context, the Home Assistant platform stands out by offering a highly versatile and fully customizable home automation solution. This project developed a study and compared three types of Home Assistant installations — virtual machine installation, Raspberry Pi installation, and hardware installation — aiming to understand their particularities, advantages, and limitations, making it possible to determine which installation type is most suitable for each situation. In addition, the project implemented a home automation system to explore different technologies used in domotics and their integrations, with the development based on users’ needs and daily routines, thus creating a personalized and useful project.
