I can now connect Philips Hue, Ikea Tradfri, Tuya Smartlife, Aqara, and basically any Zigbee 3.0 Smart Home device DIRECTLY to my Raspberry Pi with no cloud or Internet access required and it's as easy to use as the Tuya Smartlife user interface.

What is Home Assistant? Home Assistant is a beautiful way to take control of your Smart Home "cloud free" thanks to it's LoveLace dashboard and local control options, and the Raspberry Pi Home Assistant setup has never been easier. This video, as well as being a review of Conbee 2, recreates my original Home Alarm system video but entirely within Home Assistant.
