Description
This hands-on course empowers learners to design and deploy intelligent home automation systems using Home Assistant, an open-source platform that integrates seamlessly with ESP32 microcontrollers, Smart Switch, sensors and actuators. Participants will explore the fundamentals of smart home architecture, IoT protocols, and device communication, then dive into practical implementation using Tasmota and ESPHome firmware.Through guided modules, students will learn to flash and configure ESP32 boards, connect sensors and actuators, and build responsive automations using MQTT and native APIs. The course emphasizes real-world applications—such as motion-triggered lighting, temperature-based fan control, and voice-activated scenes—while reinforcing best practices in security, remote access, and system reliability.
Learners will also gain experience customizing dashboards, integrating voice assistants like Google Assistant or Alexa, and managing smart devices through intuitive interfaces. By the end of the course, participants will complete a capstone project showcasing a fully functional smart home solution tailored to their environment.Ideal for technical students, educators, and professionals in electronics or automation, this course bridges theory and practice to unlock the full potential of modern home automation. No prior experience with Home Assistant is required, but basic knowledge of electronics and networking is recommended.
