Home-Assistant Config by @ccostan

Home Assistant configuration files (YAMLs)

This is my Home Assistant Configuration created with the All In One installer expanded to 16GB. I update it pretty regularly. Home Assistant runs on my Raspberry Pi 3 with Aeon Labs Z Wave Stick (GEN 5). I've also added a 433Mhz Transmitter and receiver. The main SD Card was upgraded to 16GB. (Order 2! - 1 for backup) I use an SD Card reader to swap SD cards between Pi and Windows for backups.

Software on the Pi : Home Assistant , Dasher to leverage those cheap Amazon Dash Buttons SSL via SSLS - 5 Bucks A Year! - Keeps me safe! HomeBridge for full HA <-> Homekit compatibility.

Devices I have :

Lots of my gear comes from BetaBound for Beta Testing and reviews.
