Smart Home — System Overview

Overview

This is a comprehensive Home Assistant installation running on Home Assistant OS (HAOS), managed via the Supervisor. It serves as the central hub for a fully automated multi-floor home in Toronto, Ontario (America/Toronto timezone).

The system integrates 97 third-party services, 303 physical devices, and 1,431 entities across 17 rooms on 4 floors — covering lighting, security, climate, media, energy monitoring, irrigation, voice control, and appliances.

Home Assistant Overview

Home Assistant Platform & Infrastructure

Overview

The system runs Home Assistant OS (HAOS) — the recommended production deployment method which provides the full Supervisor + add-on ecosystem, OTA OS updates, and snapshot backups. The host is not directly accessible via SSH by default; the Advanced SSH & Web Terminal add-on provides access.

Software Stack

Component Version
Home Assistant Core 2026.6.4
Home Assistant OS 18.0
Home Assistant Supervisor 2026.06.2
Zigbee2MQTT 2.12.0-1

Zigbee Setup

Two Zigbee coordinators are in use:

Coordinator Driver Firmware Status
HA Connect ZBT-2 (via Zigbee2MQTT) ZBT-2 (EmberZNet 7.5.1.0) 2.12.0 Active
HA Connect ZBT-2 (via ZHA) Same hardware — Disabled by user

Both ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT are configured, but ZHA is disabled. All Zigbee traffic flows through Zigbee2MQTT via MQTT/Mosquitto.

Matter Setup

Matter is handled by the Matter Server add-on (v9.0.2). The Aqara Hub M2 acts as a Thread/Matter border router, bridging multiple Aqara devices (water leak sensors, motion sensors, smart locks, wireless switches, temp/humidity sensors) into HA via Matter.

A second Matter hub, the Aqara Camera Hub G3, also bridges devices.

Voice Pipeline

See voice-pipeline.md for full details.

Security & Cameras — Eufy, Reolink, Frigate

Overview

The home has a comprehensive security camera system combining Eufy Security (indoor/outdoor cameras + doorbells) and Reolink (PoE floodlight cameras), processed locally by Frigate NVR (add-on v0.17.1). All cameras stream via go2rtc (built-in) and WebRTC.

*Living Room (T8416) and Basement (T8410) cameras are physically in those rooms but associated with the Eufy HomeBase in the Basement.

Eufy Security

Integration: eufy_security (HACS) | Host: 127.0.0.1 | Add-on: eufy-security-ws v3.0.1

The Eufy integration connects via the local WebSocket server (eufy-security-ws add-on), providing camera streams and sensor data without relying on cloud.

Infrastructure

Device Model Firmware
Eufy HomeBase T8030 3.8.3.4
Eufy Passport T87B2 1.5.6

The HomeBase is the central hub for all Eufy cameras. It must be running for any Eufy entity to be available.

Per-Camera Features

Each Eufy camera exposes:

Front Yard Camera

Frigate NVR

Add-on: ccab4aaf_frigate v0.17.1 | State: started

Frigate provides local real-time object detection for IP cameras using hardware-accelerated inference. It integrates with HA via the MQTT integration and the frigate integration (HACS).

Frigate configuration (cameras, detectors, zones, objects) is managed in the Frigate add-on config file, not in HA directly.

go2rtc & WebRTC

go2rtc is a built-in HA integration (system) that provides camera stream proxying, RTSP-to-WebRTC conversion, and low-latency viewing in the HA frontend.

WebRTC Camera (HACS, AlexxIT) provides enhanced WebRTC card support for dashboards.

Zigbee — Zigbee2MQTT + ZHA + HA Connect ZBT-2

Overview

Zigbee is the primary short-range wireless protocol for sensors and smart plugs. The home uses a single HA Connect ZBT-2 USB stick as the Zigbee coordinator, running Zigbee2MQTT (the primary active stack). ZHA is also installed but is disabled by the user to avoid coordinator conflicts.

Hardware

Component Details
Coordinator Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2 (Nabu Casa)

Zigbee2MQTT

Add-on version: 2.12.0-1 | Bridge device: 723747744690709ec853190a975e567b

Zigbee2MQTT communicates via the Mosquitto MQTT broker add-on. All Zigbee device data flows through MQTT topics.

These sensors also have ZHA registrations (Soil Sensor 1, 2, 3) — this is because the same coordinator serves both Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA paths, but ZHA is disabled. The ZHA sensor entities may appear but are likely inactive.

ZHA (Disabled)

ZHA is configured but disabled by the user (disabled_by: user). The original entry 01KGV9QD6568DF9P3S4JQE53X8 (HA Connect ZBT-1) is not loaded.

A second ZHA entry for the ZBT-2 (homeassistant_connect_zbt2 hardware integration) is loaded but only provides the hardware device — Zigbee traffic goes through Zigbee2MQTT.

Monitoring Stack — InfluxDB, Grafana, AdGuard, NUT

Overview

Long-term monitoring uses the InfluxDB + Grafana stack for time-series storage and visualization, complemented by AdGuard Home for DNS query analytics and NUT for UPS status.

InfluxDB

Add-on: a0d7b954_influxdb v5.0.2 | State: running

InfluxDB stores long-term time-series sensor data from Home Assistant. HA's built-in recorder uses SQLite/PostgreSQL for short-term history; InfluxDB provides the long-term archive.

Use cases:

Configuration: InfluxDB integration is configured via HA's configuration.yaml or through the add-on's web UI.

Grafana

Add-on: a0d7b954_grafana v12.1.0 | State: running

Grafana provides visualization dashboards on top of InfluxDB data.

Typical dashboards:

Grafana is accessible on the HA host at port 3000 (or configured reverse proxy path). Not directly integrated into HA Lovelace.

AdGuard Home

Add-on: a0d7b954_adguard v6.2.0 | Integration: adguard | Area: Office

Network-wide DNS-based ad and tracker blocking. All LAN DNS queries are routed through AdGuard.

HA entities:

Dashboard: AdGuard Home has its own web UI accessible on the LAN.

Network UPS Tools (NUT)

Add-on: a0d7b954_nut v0.18.0 | Integration: nut | UPS: CPS CP1500AVRLCDa | Area: Media Room

Monitors the APC-compatible CPS UPS protecting the Media Room AV equipment.

Voice Pipeline

Overview

The home runs a fully local, cloud-independent voice pipeline using HA's Assist framework. The pipeline is anchored by a Home Assistant Voice PE device in the Bedroom and composed of four add-on components. An Ollama LLM provides conversational AI beyond basic HA commands.

Pipeline Components

1. Wake Word — openWakeWord

Property Value
Add-on core_openwakeword v2.1.0
Protocol Wyoming
Entity wake_word.openwakeword
Purpose Passively listens for wake phrase on the HA Voice PE microphone

2. Speech-to-Text

Two local STT options:

Option Add-on Version Best For
Speech-to-Phrase core_speech-to-phrase 1.4.3 Fast home control commands
Whisper core_whisper 3.2.0 Free-form speech, better accuracy
HA Cloud — — Fallback cloud STT

Recommendation: Use Speech-to-Phrase as primary for HA commands — it's significantly faster than Whisper for intent-matched phrases.

3. Conversation / Intent Processing

Option Entity Notes
Home Assistant conversation.home_assistant Built-in intent matching for HA commands
Ollama conversation.ollama_conversation Local LLM (qwen3:4b-instruct at 192.168.1.85:11434)

4. Text-to-Speech

Option Add-on Version Notes
Piper core_piper 2.2.2 Local neural TTS (offline)
Google Translate — — Cloud TTS (requires internet)
HA Cloud — — Nabu Casa cloud TTS

Hardware — HA Voice PE

Property Value
Device Home Assistant Voice 0919e8
Model Home Assistant Voice PE
Manufacturer Nabu Casa
Firmware ESPHome 2026.3.2
Area Bedroom

The Voice PE connects to HA via the ESPHome integration over local LAN.

Controls:

Conversation Pipelines

HA supports multiple named pipelines. The Voice PE's assistant_2 select entity allows switching between pipelines at runtime.

Typical pipelines:

  1. Default — Speech-to-Phrase → Home Assistant Assist → Piper
  2. LLM — Whisper → Ollama → Piper
  3. Cloud — HA Cloud STT → HA Cloud TTS

Announcement Targets

Beyond the Voice PE, TTS announcements can be pushed to any media_player entity. Key announcement targets:

Irrigation Tracking Automations

Overview

4 automations track watering activity for the 4 front yard irrigation zones. Each automation captures the last watered timestamp and run duration into helper entities whenever a zone completes a watering cycle.

How It Works

When the Orbit BHyve timer completes a watering cycle for a zone, the corresponding automation:

  1. Records the completion time into input_datetime.*_last_watered
  2. Records the run duration into input_number.*_last_run_duration (in minutes)

This data feeds the Plants dashboard and provides watering history for each garden zone.
