Home Assistant uses Bundler, Homebrew and Cocoapods to manage build dependencies. You'll need Xcode 14.1 (or later) which you can download from the App Store. Control and monitor your home from anywhere in the world. Home Assistant Companion lets you control all your devices and provides advanced location and notification engines to allow for complex automation. Home Assistant is an open-source home automation platform that focuses on local control and privacy. Home Assistant Companion requires a configured Home Assistant instance. The instance must use Home Assistant Cloud or be accessible from the Internet and secured with a valid, non-self-signed, SSL certificate for location tracking. Basic notifications work without external access.
