Casa Martelli

Home Assistant & Friends

Casa Martelli is our family home in Abruzzo, Italy. It's an happy place located in the historic centre of a little town. Everthing about our house is always a work in progress so expect a lot of updates to this repo.

Why do we automate?

Automations in our house are there to help us reduce the number of repetitive tasks so we can focus on more important things.

Approach to automations

Our automations should adapt to us, not the opposite, they are there to add value to the interactions we have with our living space.

A great article by Paulus Schoutsen can be found here.

Software

Our automation software of choice is Home Assistant. Our install is "Supervised" by the Home Assistant Supervisor.

Docker Containers

• Home Assistant Supervisor (homeassistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor)
• Caddy (abiosoft/caddy)

Docker Containers are currently deployed using Ansible, you can look into the server configuration here: ./provision/.

Home Assistant Addons

• AdGuard Home
• File Editor
• DuckDNS
• Mosquitto Broker
• Assistant Relay
• MotionEye

Home Assistant Addons are installed manually with the Add-on Store.

Hardware

This Home Automation setup is currently running on a Mini PC [LINK]. The specs are:

• RAM: 2Gb

This machine runs the latest version of Ubuntu Server LTS.

Issues

Issues in this repo are handled like @ccostan, @jcallaghan or @frenck. They are in place to help me track what needs to be done and the priority of these tasks.
