My Home Assistant smart home equipment (installed and tested at home)

Purchased, installed and tested

My Smart Home Equipment

Here is the smart home equipment I actually use at home with Home Assistant. Everything has been purchased by me, installed and tested over time. I started by optimizing heating, then equipped the home with Tapo devices, before progressively migrating to a more reliable Zigbee ecosystem.

🏢 Infrastructure

The backbone of my setup: Home Assistant, Zigbee and everything that needs to stay reliable 24/7.
