Web of Things Scenarios at Home Assistant

[egekorkan]

Session description

Home Assistant is a smart home platform with a very strong community. The W3C Web of Things standards can be used within Home Assistant in different ways and bring two communities together with the following potential benefits:

• Easier integration of future IoT devices to Home Assistant
• Cross Ecosystem Communication
• Other ways to communicate with Home Assistant
• Getting wider feedback and use cases for WoT standards
