ABOUT THE SOFTWARE

What is Home Assistant

Home Assistant is the open-source home automation platform that runs locally on your hardware — or, with DANIAN, on managed infrastructure in the region you choose. It connects lights, climate, energy meters, locks, cameras, voice assistants, and over 3,000 device brands through 1,000+ built-in integrations, all controlled from one dashboard you actually own.

Home Assistant is licensed Apache 2.0 and stewarded by the Open Home Foundation, a non-profit founded in April 2024 by Paulus Schoutsen and a four-person inaugural board. The foundation owns 250+ open-source projects including ESPHome, Zigpy, and Piper; its 39 full-time staff are funded by Nabu Casa, the commercial partner that sells Home Assistant Cloud subscriptions and the Green and Yellow hardware.

More than 622,000 active installs report to the project's opt-in analytics service, and the foundation publicly tracked over 2 million households at the 2025.5 release in May 2025. Home Assistant became the first open-source project ever certified by the Connectivity Standards Alliance for the Matter protocol in March 2025, was named most active open-source project at GitHub Universe 2024, and was profiled in GitHub's December 2025 Octoverse as one of the most active and technically demanding open source ecosystems in production today.

FEATURES

What Home Assistant does

Home Assistant is the control plane for everything in a smart home that exposes an API or a radio. Lights, climate, energy, cameras, locks, vacuums, speakers, calendars, and a thousand other categories sit behind one dashboard, one automation engine, and one user model — written in YAML or built in the visual editor.

1,000+ built-in integrations

Connects to Philips Hue, Sonos, Tado, IKEA, Aqara, Shelly, Tesla, SolarEdge, Fronius, Google Calendar, Spotify, and roughly 3,000 named brands without custom code.

Energy dashboard

Track grid import, solar production, battery state of charge, EV charging, and per-circuit consumption in one place. Integrates dynamic tariff APIs (Nordpool, Tibber, Octopus, ENTSO-E).

HACS and custom integrations

The Home Assistant Community Store gives you 1,500+ community-built integrations, Lovelace cards, and themes alongside the built-in catalog. We preinstall HACS on every tenant.

Voice and local LLM agents

Assist works with Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition, OpenAI Conversation, Anthropic Claude, Ollama, and local models. Cloud STT/TTS via Nabu Casa pairs well with managed instances.

Visual automation editor and YAML

Build automations by dragging triggers, conditions, and actions in the UI, or write them as YAML in version-controlled files. Both are first-class and editable in the same instance.

Matter and Thread native

First open-source platform CSA-certified for Matter, in March 2025. Commission Matter devices through any Thread border router on your LAN — HomePod Mini, Apple TV, Aqara M3, Nest Hub.

Mobile app with push notifications

Native iOS and Android apps with location-based automations, the mobile camera as a presence sensor, and push notifications routed via the Nabu Casa relay or direct FCM/APNs.

Backups, history, and recorder

Continuous state recording with configurable retention. Long-form history sits on managed object storage — typically a year, with the option to extend per tenant. Encrypted off-site snapshots run daily and restore from the dashboard.

WHAT'S ALWAYS INCLUDED

Every app. Fully managed.
Nothing extra to pay for.

Every app you deploy includes the full managed service — security, backups, updates, and support from day one.

Automatic updates and patches

Apps run the latest stable version. Security patches applied silently, with rollback if needed.

Daily off-site backups

Multiple daily backups in redundant off-site locations. One-click restore if anything goes wrong.

24/7 uptime monitoring

Continuous monitoring with instant alerting. We respond before you notice.

SSL, firewall, DDoS protection

Auto-renewing SSL, hardened firewall rules, DDoS mitigation on every deployment.

Performance and scaling

We monitor resource usage continuously. When your app needs more headroom, we flag it and upgrade with your explicit approval.

Dedicated engineering support

Real engineers on chat. DNS, SMTP & migration help. All included in €9.

WHY MANAGED

Why teams pick managed Home Assistant

On January 31, 2026, Belkin shut down the Wemo cloud — the app stopped working, voice integrations stopped working, and a list of smart-plug and switch models became e-waste for anyone still on the proprietary path. Home Assistant is where those buyers land. Managed is where they stop running a server in their basement.

Self-hosting Home Assistant on a home network is straightforward to start and steadily harder to keep running. The DuckDNS plus Let's Encrypt plus router-port-forwarding stack on a consumer modem has multiple silent failure modes: NAT loopback breaks LAN access when the certificate hostname resolves to the public IP, the renewal cron fails the night your ISP rotates your dynamic address, and the upstream Let's Encrypt rate limit triggers if you retry too aggressively. The Home Assistant community forums are full of threads about TLS expiry discovered mid-vacation, and about Cloudflare Tunnel or Tailscale configurations rebuilt every six months when the work laptop changes.

On top of that, Home Assistant ships a stable release on the first Wednesday of every month, with patch Fridays in between. Each release routinely contains breaking changes — 2026.5 alone shipped eight backward-incompatible changes covering integration deprecations, configuration schema migrations, and behaviour changes in automations. Self-hosters either upgrade on the day and accept the breakage, or pin to an old version and accept the growing security exposure. We test every monthly release against a clone of each tenant's instance, surface any breaks privately before promotion, and roll a tenant back in minutes if a release breaks one of its integrations after promotion. The TLS provisioning is auto-renewing without DuckDNS.

We're honest about what managed hosting can't do: it cannot directly attach a USB Zigbee or Z-Wave stick. The Home Assistant ZHA documentation warns against IP-bridged coordinators because serial protocols don't tolerate packet loss. We tell customers this upfront and point them either to a small local Sonoff or SLZB-06 PoE coordinator over ser2net, or to Matter-over-Wi-Fi devices that need no local USB at all. The €9/month case is strongest for cloud-only, Wi-Fi, and Matter integrations — solar inverters, calendars, energy APIs, ESPHome over Tailscale, and smart locks.

USE CASES

Three teams who run Home Assistant on DANIAN

Home Assistant runs in a lot of houses. It also runs in short-term rentals, distributed families, and energy-monitored homes where the operator and the bricks aren't in the same building. Here are three representative team types whose configurations look nothing alike but who all run on a €9-per-instance DANIAN footing.

12-PROPERTY AIRBNB OPERATOR

Replacing a brittle stack of Google Home + Tado app + Vrbo calendar exports

A short-term rental operator runs 12 Airbnb properties across Portugal, Italy, and Spain. Each property is one DANIAN tenant — €108/month total. Per-property automations chain the iCal guest-checkin event to a Matter smart lock PIN, a Tado climate preset, and a notify entity on the cleaner's phone. No on-site hardware to replace when a guest unplugs the router; the operator's dashboard shows all 12 properties on one screen.

DISTRIBUTED FAMILY, TWO COUNTRIES

Replacing a Lifeline pendant subscription and weekly phone-call status checks

A daughter in Toronto runs Home Assistant for her parents' home in Munich. Four mmWave Wi-Fi presence sensors, six Aqara Matter bulbs, two Shelly relays, a leak sensor under the sink, and a Voice Preview Edition on the kitchen counter. A Tailscale exit node at the parents' house bridges local-network devices to the DANIAN instance. When the oven is left on for two hours, both phones get a notification.

SOLAR HOUSEHOLD WITH BATTERY DISPATCH

Replacing a SolarEdge mobile app and a Tibber app open in three browser tabs

A household with a 9 kWh solar PV array, a 13 kWh battery, an EV charger, and dynamic electricity pricing via Nordpool runs one DANIAN tenant. The recorder retains 12 months of per-circuit consumption on managed storage, not the 10-day window a default home-server install would survive. Automations charge the battery when the spot price is below €0.05/kWh and dispatch surplus solar to the EV. Annual grid-cost reduction tracked at €380.

COMPARISON

Four ways to run Home Assistant

The same Home Assistant runs on a $5 Raspberry Pi, a €179 Home Assistant Green, a $24-a-month production-class VPS, or a managed instance at €9/month. The price tags look similar at first; the operational work does not. Here's what each path costs at 1, 5, and 10 households or apps.

DANIAN Managed Home Assistant€9 / mo€45 / mo€90 / moNone

At one household, DANIAN is roughly the same monthly outlay as Nabu Casa Cloud — but you skip the server, the SD card, the SSD replacement, and the ops time. At five households (property managers, agencies, multi-property owners), the math turns: DANIAN at €45/month versus five separate Nabu Casa Cloud subscriptions plus five Green boxes plus five sites to maintain. The proprietary cloud column looks cheap until you remember Wemo. The home-server column looks cheap until your SD card fails in the middle of the night.

BY INDUSTRY

Home Assistant for specific industries

Home Assistant's industry fit depends less on the building type than on whether the integrations the operator needs live on the network or on a USB stick. Four industries put specific demands on managed Home Assistant. Each section below documents the relevant operational standards, the configuration we choose, and a real workflow.

Short-term rental operators run Home Assistant against the Matter 1.4 interoperability spec — the relevant standard for cross-vendor smart locks, thermostats, and lighting that have to work across a property portfolio with different appliance generations.

We provision each property as a separate DANIAN tenant for isolation, preinstall Nuki, Seam, Airbnb-calendar, and Tado integrations via HACS, and tie the iCal guest-checkin event to a state machine: generate a one-time PIN on the Matter lock, set the thermostat to 21°C, enable hallway motion-lighting between 21:00 and 07:00, notify the cleaner's mobile_app entity at the booked checkout time.

On 20 properties at 15 entities each, the operator centrally supervises roughly 300 entities.

There are no SD cards to replace at three in the morning across three time zones.
Energy-monitored households and SME energy consultants run Home Assistant against ISO 50001 energy-management practices and IEC 62325 and ENTSO-E spot-price-data conformance for dynamic electricity tariffs.

We configure the recorder for 365-day retention on managed storage, add an InfluxDB sidecar for long-form analytics, and preinstall the nordpool, entso_e, tibber, solaredge, fronius, and enphase_envoy integrations.

A typical workflow: when the buy-tariff is below €0.05/kWh and the home battery is below 80% state of charge, start grid charging; when PV surplus exceeds 3 kW and the EV is plugged in, dispatch to the charger at solar-only rate.

Eight to twelve circuits per home are monitored via Shelly EM Wi-Fi clamps, with one-second sampling on the inverter.
Property managers handling 20–100 long-term residential units run Home Assistant against the Matter 1.4 interoperability spec and against the Works with Home Assistant device-certification program — currently covering Aqara, Eve, Shelly, Heatit, Heiman, ubisys, BEGA, Reolink, Motionblinds, and Apollo.

We provision one DANIAN tenant per unit, standardise the area structure (Apartment-101, Apartment-102, common-areas), and add an MQTT broker bridge for ESPHome leak sensors.

A real workflow: a leak sensor under the sink fires, an automation closes the Wi-Fi smart valve, creates a maintenance ticket via webhook to the property-management system, and notifies the on-call building manager.

Fifty units on one platform yields roughly 1,500 entities centrally observable, at €9 per unit per month — €450/month for the portfolio.
Maker spaces, coworking offices, and educational fabrication labs run Home Assistant against local fire-code occupancy reporting (NFPA 101 in North America, EN 1838 emergency-lighting in Europe) and against insurance-driven door-access logging requirements.

We configure ESPHome-flashed presence sensors reachable over Tailscale, preinstall a Mosquitto MQTT broker, and configure the recorder for 24-month event-log retention.

A workflow: a door-badge swipe writes the entity_id and timestamp to the recorder; if occupancy exceeds the room's posted capacity, a push notification fires to the operator's phone; if CO₂ exceeds 1000 ppm in any monitored room, the automation boosts the HVAC and dims non-essential lighting.

Fifteen rooms monitored across one DANIAN tenant, with a complete event log that survives the next monthly release.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything teams ask before signing up — answered straight, without sales speak.

Three groups: technical setup, migration, and how DANIAN works as a service.

01

Technical and configuration

Not directly. A managed Home Assistant tenant runs in our datacenter; your USB dongle is in your living room. We tell customers this upfront. The Home Assistant ZHA documentation itself warns against IP-bridged coordinators because serial protocols don't tolerate packet loss. Two workarounds work well in practice: a local Sonoff ZBDongle-P or SLZB-06 PoE Zigbee coordinator on your LAN bridged to DANIAN over ser2net via Tailscale, or a fleet of Matter-over-Wi-Fi and Matter-over-Thread devices that need no USB at all. The €9 case is strongest for the Matter and Wi-Fi path.
Yes. Many of our customers do. Add the cloud: integration in configuration.yaml, sign in with your Nabu Casa account, and the managed instance gets Cloud's Google Assistant and Alexa routing, remote-access fallback, cloud STT/TTS for Assist voice, and the webhook relay. Nabu Casa's €7.50/month stacks on €9/month from DANIAN. One Nabu Casa account attaches to one Home Assistant instance at a time.
Yes, with a small bridge. We point customers to either Tailscale, WireGuard, or Cloudflare Tunnel for the local-network to DANIAN traffic — mDNS, the native ESPHome API, and Matter-over-IP all traverse it cleanly. The 2026.5 release added native ESPHome serial-port proxying on the Home Assistant side, which simplifies the firmware-flashing workflow.
Voice Preview Edition runs on your LAN, captures wake-words and audio locally, and ships intent to Home Assistant. We support this. For speech-to-text and text-to-speech we recommend Nabu Casa Cloud Voice, which pairs at €9 plus €7.50 monthly. Local Whisper, Piper, and Ollama need a GPU or an Intel N100-class machine and don't fit on €9/month — those run on hardware you supply, with the inference endpoint pointed at by the managed instance.
You need a Thread border router on your LAN — a HomePod Mini, Apple TV 4K, Aqara M3, Nest Hub 2nd gen, or an Open Thread Border Router on a small Pi all work. The Matter integration on your DANIAN instance commissions devices through that border router over IPv6. Home Assistant and the Open Home Foundation Matter Server were officially Matter-certified in March 2025, the first open-source project ever to clear it.

02

Migration and onboarding

We can activate your app on your own custom domain/subdomain. Examples: mydomain.com, anyword.mydomain.com.
Or, on our randomized free subdomain. Example: 963.apps.danian.cloud
If you wish to use a custom domain/subdomain, select that option when ordering your app (or notify us later). We will send you the required DNS records and if needed, our tech team will modify them for you.
21 datacenter locations across six continents. You choose the region at provisioning. Application data sits in the region you choose; pick whichever is closest to your users or matches your data-residency preference.
Yes. Request a region migration from the dashboard and we run the move in the background. The system emails you when the migration completes; total transfer time depends on data volume but typical instances finish in a few hours. There is no extra charge for a region change.
Yes. Full data export is available at any time, in a portable format you can bring to any infrastructure.
Yes. Home Assistant Container reads the same /config directory layout as Home Assistant OS. configuration.yaml, automations.yaml, scripts.yaml, scenes.yaml, themes/, www/, blueprints/, and custom_components/ all work identically. The only delta is anywhere your YAML referenced an Add-on path or a Supervisor API — those route through Container sidecars instead.

03

Billing, support, and platform

€9 covers everything we do for that app: hardware in the region you choose, daily off-site backups with one-click restore, automatic security patches and version upgrades, 24/7 monitoring, SSL and firewall, and engineering support on Email/LiveChat. There are no setup fees or hidden line items. For more info see our Pricing page.
If you decide to continue, we charge €9/app/month from day 8. If you don't, the trial ends and you can export your data. No card is required for the trial, and we never auto-charge you without explicit consent.
No. The €9/month is flat regardless of how many users log into your app. Add 5 users or 50; the price doesn't change.
24/7 Live chat and email support, both staffed by engineers who run the systems. We handle DNS configuration, SMTP setup, app integrations, performance tuning, troubleshooting, and migration help. Response time is typically under an hour. There is no tier system — every customer gets the same support.
Yes. Cancel from the dashboard. We don't charge a cancellation fee, we don't lock data, and we will export your data to you on request before deletion. data to you on request before deletion.
Every customer instance is backed up daily to a separate region from the primary. We test restores. You can request a restore at any backup point within the retention window — usually 7 days for daily backups.
Your application data sits in the region you choose at provisioning — 21 datacenter locations across six continents. Account-level data (billing, account email, support ticket history) is processed centrally. Application data region is picked by you, per app.
99.9% uptime SLA on every app, every tenant. Service credits are documented at danian.co/service-level-agreement. The status page is located at status.danian.co.
When your tenant approaches the resource ceiling — the base tier holds 1 vCPU/RAM, 30 GB storage — we notify you. Resource upgrades happen with your explicit consent; we will not upgrade your tenant or charge you without it.
We wait. We don't suspend the app or delete your data on the first failed charge. We email you, you fix the card on file, and we continue.
Invoices can be downloaded from the billing dashboard in PDF the day each charge succeeds. EU VAT is added where applicable and the VAT-reverse-charge regime applies for VAT-registered businesses with a valid number.
150+ open-source apps across automation, team chat, file sync, analytics, AI, password management, email marketing, dev tools, project management, smart home, CMS, and federated social. See the full catalog →
Yes. Every instance comes with a web-based terminal and a file manager in your DANIAN management dashboard. Useful for managing your data and customizations.
Resources scale with your usage. If your app needs more vCPU, RAM, or storage, we add it — and we ask first before any change to your plan. €9 is the floor; resource-heavy workloads may price higher, but you'll always know in advance.
Yes. We have both a Partner program and an Affiliate program available. Anybody can sign up.
No contract. No minimum commitment. Cancel anytime from the dashboard with one click. The 7-day free trial requires no credit card. After the trial converts to paid, you can still cancel at any month without notice or penalty.
