Live, personal Home Assistant configuration shared for **browsing and inspiration** . This is not a turnkey clone-and-run setup; borrow ideas, adapt entity IDs/secrets, and test in your own environment.

### What this repo is (and isn't)
- A live record of how my smart home runs, with real-world automations, scripts, and scenes.
- A place to reverse-engineer patterns, not a deployment guide. If you reuse snippets, adjust entities, secrets, and services to fit your setup.
- Issues double as a changelog and design history; browse them for rationale behind changes.

### Repo layout and files you won't see
- Reusable config lives under `config/` (see the quick navigation paths above).
- Runtime artifacts are hidden by `.gitignore` and won't show up on GitHub (e.g., `home-assistant_v2.db*` , logs, `deps/` , `.venv/` , backups). Look at the YAML and scripts for the actual logic and regenerate your own `secrets.yaml` .

### Platform
- Runs on Docker/compose today; this README is a browsing guide, not a how-to-install. Current HA version is tracked in `config/.HA_VERSION` (see the badge above).
