​Join Home Assistant users, makers, and smart-home enthusiasts from Mississauga and the GTA for Community Day 2026.

​This will be a relaxed, community-focused meetup to share ideas, see practical demos, and connect with others interested in Home Assistant, open smart-home technology, privacy, and local-first automation.

​Beginners are absolutely welcome. Whether you already run Home Assistant or are just getting started, come to learn, ask questions, meet other enthusiasts, and share what you’ve built.

​What to expect

• ​A short Home Assistant and local-first smart-home demo

• ​Automation and dashboard show-and-tell

• ​Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter & Thread, and ESPHome discussion

• ​Hardware show-and-tell

• ​Open Q&A and troubleshooting discussion

• ​Time to meet and connect with other local smart-home enthusiasts

​Bring something to share

​Have an automation, dashboard, ESPHome project, or interesting smart-home device?

​Feel free to bring your phone, laptop, or hardware and show it to the group. If you have a smart-home problem you’ve been trying to solve, bring that too — someone in the room may have already dealt with something similar.

​The exact venue and final agenda are currently being confirmed and will be updated here shortly.
