Service — Home Assistant
What it is
Home Assistant is a self-hosted home automation platform. It connects to smart home devices, sensors, and services, allowing them to be monitored and controlled from a single interface.
On JUNC1, Home Assistant is intended to be the bridge between Quorra and the physical environment — lights, thermostats, locks, sensors, and any other connected devices in the home.

Quorra integration
Deferred. Home Assistant is running, but there are few smart-home devices on JUNC1 today, so the Quorra integration is intentionally postponed. The first real driver is expected to be PoE security cameras; the Quorra integration will follow from there. See Quorra’s service integrations reference for the planned design.
When built, read-only state queries will be Tier 0; device control will be Tier 1 and confirm before acting.
