In the modern day world of proprietary home contraptions like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomePod, it’s difficult to find solutions that do exactly what you want them to do. Which is why I’m glad that there’s the Open Home Foundation and Home Assistant, an open source approach to the robots that run our connected devices within our abodes. And in November, Portland will have a day to compare notes, share insights, and celebrate the more open approach. All as part of Home Assistant Community Day PDX.
Join us at CtrlH in the Kenton neighborhood for Home Assistant Community day! Talk about your projects, demo what you’ve created, and learn how to convert that old Amazon Echo dot into a voice assistant to use with Home Assistant. Snacks and drinks are available!
The event takes place Saturday, November 7, 2026, at CTRL-H. It is free to attend.
