Device Model

Asset Intelligence represents every asset as a Home Assistant device.

This is a core architectural decision that ensures assets are fully integrated into Home Assistant and can participate in automations, areas, and labels.


Core Principle

Assets are not stored as independent objects inside Asset Intelligence.

Instead:

  • Each asset is created as a Home Assistant device
  • The device is assigned to an Area (room)
  • The device is assigned one or more Labels
  • Asset Intelligence adds intelligence on top of that device

What This Means

When you create an asset:

  • A new device appears in Home Assistant
  • The device has:
    • A name
    • An Area assignment
    • Labels
