## FAQ

- **What is home automation?** Home automation covers all the technologies that automate and control the equipment in your home: lighting, heating, shutters, security, multimedia. The aim is to improve the comfort, security and energy efficiency of your living space.
- **What is Home Assistant?** Home Assistant is a widely used open source home automation platform. It centralises control of all your connected devices, whatever their brand, in a single interface. Everything runs locally, with no dependency on the cloud.
- **Why choose open source?** Open source gives you freedom (no vendor lock-in), transparency (auditable code), security (a vigilant community) and durability (no planned obsolescence). You stay in control of your installation.
- **Is it compatible with my current equipment?** Home Assistant offers more than 2,000 integrations: Philips Hue, IKEA, Sonoff, Shelly, Xiaomi and many more. There’s a good chance your equipment is compatible. We carry out a free audit to check.
- **Do I need an internet connection?** No. Your system runs entirely locally. The internet is only needed if you want to access it from outside your home.
- **Is my data safe?** With Home Assistant, your data stays on a local server, in your home. It does not pass through a manufacturer’s servers. It is one of the most privacy-friendly solutions available.
- **Can I keep Alexa or Google Home?** Yes, Home Assistant can integrate with Alexa and Google Home if you wish. You can also choose local voice control for complete privacy.
- **Where do you operate?** We mainly operate in mainland France. For projects abroad or remote projects, contact us to discuss the options.
- **How much does an installation cost?** Every project is unique. The cost depends on the size of your space, the number of devices and the complexity of the automations you want. We provide a free quote after an initial conversation.
- **Do you offer maintenance contracts?** Yes, three plans (Essential, Comfort, Premium) keep your installation running smoothly over time: updates, support and interventions.
- **What happens if something breaks down?** We intervene according to your maintenance contract. As the system is local, most functions keep working even if there is a partial problem.
- **If it’s open source, why pay?** The software is free, but expertise has a cost. You pay for our know-how: design, installation, configuration, training and maintenance, just as companies pay Red Hat for Linux support.
- **Who maintains Home Assistant?** Home Assistant is maintained by Nabu Casa, a dedicated company, and by a global community of developers. Updates are released every month.
- **What if the Home Assistant project stops?** As the code is open source, it will remain available and can be maintained by the community. With a very large user base and a dedicated company, the risk is low.
