Hello, everyone, and welcome to the new AI & Advanced Automation forum!
Many of you might have found your way here through search terms like “AI in the smart home” or “AI home automation.” For years, the promise of a truly intelligent home has been just over the horizon. Now, with advancements in local and on-device AI, that future is finally within our reach.
This forum is the place to discuss how we can move beyond simple, pre-programmed rules and create a home that truly thinks, adapts, and anticipates our needs. However, we’ll be exploring AI through the specific lens of
The Thinking Home philosophy. That means our focus will always be on:
Local Control: How can we run powerful AI models inside our own homes, on our own hardware? Our goal is to ensure our personal data remains private and our systems run reliably, without depending on a corporate cloud server.
Privacy First: A thinking home should be a secure sanctuary, not a data collection tool for a distant corporation. We will share strategies for building AI systems that respect and protect your privacy.
Practical Application: This isn’t just about theory. It’s about turning the concept of residential AI into a practical reality. Let’s discuss real-world projects, from creating predictive lighting and climate control to choosing the best hardware for on-device processing.
Whether you’re just starting to explore what’s possible with Home Assistant and local AI, or you’re already experimenting with advanced predictive automations, this is your space to ask questions, share your successes (and failures!), and learn from each other.
To get us started, what’s one pain point in your daily life you believe a truly local AI could solve?
Let’s build the future of the private, intelligent home together.
