Description

@matthiasdebaat

Problem statement

Home Assistant lacks a clearly defined brand personality. This makes it difficult to create a consistent experience across product and marketing, and reinforces the perception of a technical product rather than an approachable one.

Without a shared understanding of how Home Assistant should feel, visual and interaction decisions remain inconsistent and subjective.

Community signals

  • Inconsistent interpretation of what Home Assistant should feel like
  • Ongoing tension between technical depth and approachability

Scope & Boundaries
