Quello che in Home Assistant sta in dieci pagine diverse, qui sta dove lo cerchi: le luci, il clima, le tapparelle, le telecamere, i consumi, le persone. Una plancia sola, fatta per essere guardata. SI ABBINA CON UN QR CODE Si installa l'add-on gdahome in Home Assistant, si preme «Genera QR code» e lo si inquadra col telefono. Nessuna password da inserire, nessun token da copiare, nessuna porta da aprire sul router. I DATI DELLA CASA RESTANO IN CASA gdahome non ha un server che li raccolga e non ha un account da fare. Da fuori casa passa da un centralino che instrada e non legge: il filo è cifrato fra il telefono e la tua Home Assistant. IN AUTO, CON CARPLAY Il navigatore per auto elettriche (gdanav) è dentro l'app: percorso, soste di ricarica, colonnine, segnalazioni. E dietro il tasto con la casetta i comandi rapidi scelti da te: il cancello, il portone, «sto arrivando». Arrivando a casa, gdahome propone il comando dell'arrivo. E con Siri: «Ehi Siri, naviga con gdahome», «Portami a casa con gdahome». ANCHE - Il lucchetto col volto (Face ID) per aprire l'app. - Le segnalazioni e l'assistenza, dall'app. - Più case, e più plance per casa. Serve Home Assistant OS o Supervised (con il negozio degli add-on). gdahome Base è gratuita. gdahome Premium (abbonamento mensile o annuale) aggiunge più plance e più case, il collegamento da fuori casa, la configurazione e Zigbee dall'app, e comprende gdanav Premium.
