Home Assistant is the brain; Zigbee2MQTT frees your Zigbee devices from vendor hubs; ESPHome turns cheap ESP32 boards into fully local sensors and switches; Node-RED covers the automations that outgrow the built-in editor; and Frigate adds real-time camera object detection on your own hardware. This is the reference local-first setup — every device keeps working when the internet doesn't.
