• Home Assistant Device Database public preview

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Sat Jul 25 06:40:08 2026

    The Open Home
    Foundation, which governs the Home Assistant
    home-automation project, has announced
    the "public preview" of its Device
    Database:

    Providing a public, open way to browse the anonymous, aggregated
    device data we collect was always part of the plan, and this preview
    is our first step toward it.

    You can already use it to search and filter devices to see
    aggregated community insights, starting with a deliberately focused
    set of specifics, such as whether a device requires an internet
    connection, and which protocols and integrations it works with. We've
    kept that initial scope narrow on purpose, giving us a solid
    foundation we can build on together with you, our community, as the
    database grows.

    LWN looked at Home
    Assistant in May 2025.
