Home Assistant in 1500 seconds
summary
1500 seconds compresses a full Home Assistant setup: boots a Raspberry Pi 5 with M2 HAT or Home Assistant Green, adds a USB Z‑Wave/Zigbee stick, and sticks up $9 human presence sensors; connects integrations like LLM vision + Google Generative AI, HASS agent, Bamboo Labs and Node‑RED. Demonstrated automation takes a driveway camera snapshot, sends it to an image analyzer LLM, and returns a readable notification — it works live. Blueprints, scripts and dashboards tie devices, energy monitoring and printers into actionable automations.
