CCOSTAN/Home-AssistantConfig

Bear Stone Smart Home Documentation

Be sure to :star: my configuration repo so you can keep up to date on any daily progress!

Live, personal Home Assistant configuration shared for browsing and inspiration. This is not a turnkey clone-and-run setup; borrow ideas, adapt entity IDs/secrets, and test in your own environment.

Latest video: Home Assistant Mobile Dashboard With Big Buttons

The phone-first Overview view uses two columns of large controls for garage doors, the front-door lock, thermostats, and compact alerts. Packages opens the doorbell camera, Systems opens the desktop control center, and large back buttons keep the drill-throughs easy to reverse. . Browse for the implementation patterns.

What this repo is (and isn't)

• A live record of how my smart home runs, with real-world automations, scripts, and scenes.
• A place to reverse-engineer patterns, not a deployment guide. If you reuse snippets, adjust entities, secrets, and services to fit your setup.
• Issues double as a changelog and design history; browse them for rationale behind changes.

Repo layout and files you won't see

• Reusable config lives under config/ (see the quick navigation paths above).
• Runtime artifacts are hidden by .gitignore and won't show up on GitHub (e.g., home-assistant_v2.db*, logs, deps/, .venv/, backups). Look at the YAML and scripts for the actual logic and regenerate your own secrets.yaml.

Platform

• Runs on Docker/compose today; this README is a browsing guide, not a how-to-install. Current HA version is tracked in config/.HA_VERSION (see the badge above).
• Camera ingest path (current): wyze-bridge runs on docker_10 and Frigate runs on docker_14, consuming Wyze RTSP via 192.168.10.10:8554 for stability.
