New York City Meetup

​Come talk with the New York City Home Assistant community!

​Home Assistant is an open source platform that lets you control and automate practically everything in your home - lights, sensors, thermostats, cameras, and more - without giving your data away to Big Tech. As one of the biggest open source projects on GitHub, it's powered by a worldwide network of makers, hackers, and everyday folks who want their homes to be smarter without submitting to surveillance capitalism.

​At this meetup, you can expect:

• ​Demos and show-and-tells from those who have setups they want to show, possibly even showing off the setup at the venue itself

• ​Exchanging tips and tricks from longtime Home Assistant users

• ​A friendly space to ask questions, regardless of skill level (no dumb questions)

• ​Giveaways, courtesy of Apollo Automation and Nabu Casa!

• ​Paulus Schoutsen, the creator of Home Assistant and the head of the Open Home Foundation, will be attending! Also meet some of the developers from the OpenDisplay project!

​The location is almost certainly going to be at 47 Thames Street in Brooklyn, located about two blocks away from the Morgan Avenue stop on the L train. Our co-host handling the location is finalizing where in the building specifically it'll take place; that information will be coming soon.
