What's inside home-assistant.io

  1. HassOS Key Features and Architecture

    current

    HassOS is a lightweight operating system built on the [Buildroot] framework, designed specifically to run Hass.io as a hypervisor for Docker containers.

    Core Technical Features:

    • Security: Uses [AppArmor] to protect applications and containers; no default passwords.
    • Updates: Supports safe and secure updates via [Rauc] over USB or internet (OTA).
    • Filesystem: Uses an LZ4 compressed root filesystem and features a read-only root filesystem designed for embedded systems.
    • Kernel & Docker: Utilizes the latest LT Linux kernel and the latest Docker-ce version.
    • Connectivity: Fully supported NetworkManager, Bluetooth support via Bluez, and Dbus connected host services.
    • Hardware Support: Designed to support a wide variety of hardware, including Raspberry Pi 3 B+.
  2. Understand the Home Assistant 2025 H1 Roadmap

    current
    The 2025 H1 roadmap focuses on transitioning from 'shared wisdom' to 'collective intelligence' to make smart homes more intuitive and proactive. The primary goal is to help Home Assistant understand devices in their specific context and to catalog all compatible devices through a new Device Database project. This aims to improve the 'Home Approval Factor'—ensuring the smart home is useful and easy to interact with for all household members (partners, children, etc.), not just the administrator.
  3. LG ThinQ supported appliances

    current

    The LG ThinQ integration supports a wide range of LG appliances, including:

    • Air Conditioners, Air Purifiers, and Fans
    • Kitchen appliances: Cooktops, Dishwashers, Microwaves, Ovens, Refrigerators, Kimchi Refrigerators, Wine Cellars
    • Laundry: Dryers, Washers, Washcombo, Washtowers, Stylers
    • Home Care: Dehumidifiers, Humidifiers, Robot Cleaners, Stick Cleaners, Water Heaters, Water Purifiers, Ventilators
    • Specialized: Home Brew, Plant Cultivator, System Boilers
  4. Supported Open Protocols: Z-Wave, Zigbee, Matter, and Thread

    current

    Home Assistant is committed to the 'Open Home' mission by supporting locally controlled, cloud-independent devices via the following protocols:

    • Z-Wave: Supported via the Z-Wave JS stack. Home Assistant is actively working on its own Z-Wave hardware implementation based on the Z-Wave Reference Application Design (ZRAD).
    • Matter: Supports the latest Matter 1.3 specification with ongoing work for Matter 1.4 compatibility and improved device commissioning.
    • Zigbee: Supported via the Zigbee Home Automation (ZHA) integration, which has been refactored into a separate codebase for improved maintainability.
    • Thread: Supported as part of the open standard ecosystem.
  5. Understand the Device Database project

    current

    The Device Database is a centralized, structured, and community-curated source of truth managed by the Open Home Foundation. It is designed to store and share device knowledge to improve Home Assistant integrations and user decision-making.

    Key features include:

    • Metadata & Factual Info: Storage of power usage, infrared codes, and setup instructions (e.g., how to add or reset a device).
    • Community Insights: Real-world setup experiences and automation examples.
    • Privacy-First: Data is only included through intentional user submission; no data is collected automatically without explicit consent.
    • Integration Backbone: Data is cross-referenced in Home Assistant and other Open Home Foundation projects to power features like infrared integrations.
  6. Supported Fumis devices

    current

    The Fumis integration works with pellet stoves, pellet boilers, or hybrid wood/pellet stoves equipped with a Fumis WiRCU Wi-Fi module.

    Supported Brands and Models

    • Austroflamm: Clou Duo (hybrid), MO DUO (hybrid), Polly 2.0
    • Eco Spar: Auriga (boiler), Solara, Tukana, Karina, Nova (boiler)
    • HAAS+SOHN
    • Heta: Scan-Line Green 200

    Note: If your stove has a WiRCU module (identifiable by a label with a MAC address and PIN) but is not listed, it is likely still supported.

    Unsupported Devices

    Stoves using the Fumis Alpha controller without the WiRCU Wi-Fi module are not supported. This includes many models from Palazzetti, Jotul, TurboFonte, Godin, Fonte Flamme, and Invicta.
