BLUEPRINT MANUAL

Home Assistant Smart Home Hub

Turn a Raspberry Pi 5 into a local Home Assistant hub, verify integrations and automations without needing a specific smart device, and finish with a recovery backup.

A setup computer and a Raspberry Pi 5 running Home Assistant OS are on the same local home network, with the Pi connected by Ethernet and the browser reaching Home Assistant locally. — Home Assistant runs on the Raspberry Pi inside the home LAN; this starter build does not expose it to the internet.
