Home Assistant Configuration

This is my currently configuration of my Home Assistant server. Currently installed onto my laptop while in the testing / proof stage. This repo is in a constant state of flux as I learn new ways to do things, and updates happen to components and the overall architecture. Some point in the future this will be migrated to a permanent home, on either a rasberry PI or into a virtualized environment on one of my server.

With my household in great flux and constantly someone on the go the automations are rather limited, however i'm automating what i can. Hopefully some point more things dealing with heating and cooling as well as security will start showing up.
