Home automation is the residential extension of building automation.

It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

Warning: Working with electricity can result in injury, property damage, or even death if it is not done properly. Please keep this in mind while assisting others. If you are not sure about what you are doing, hire a licensed professional.

I'm just getting into this whole smart home thing, I recently got some smart wing matter blinds. I have zero clue which hub to get, I honestly have no desire for any voice automation and have zero apple ecosystem in my house but I see a lot of people pointing to an apple TV box? Is there any other solid recommendations out there? I saw habitat seems pretty popular here too but there's zero mention of matter support on their site.

Home Assistant is a Matter controller, so any wifi based Matter devices will work right away. If it’s a thread/matter device you will need Skyconnect or some other thread border router so HA can talk to it, and then HA can act as the Matter controller.
