summary
A practical home IoT setup using open-source tools: Home Assistant runs local automation with support for Zigbee and Z‑Wave (1,853 integrations), Node‑RED implements logic and protocol bridging (3,485 integrations) across 433MHz, IR, Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth, and ESPHome creates low‑cost custom sensors (~€10). Metrics are sent to InfluxDB and visualized with Grafana, Pi‑hole provides DNS visibility, services are deployed with Docker and Ansible, backups are stored in Git with hourly NAS snapshots, and remote access is provided via a VPN instead of opening ports.
