The same Home Assistant AI recipe can produce a short note or a fuller explanation. Length, tone, and focus are easy to customize with plain-language changes to the instructions. See the book details: automatelike.pro/ai-ha-book/

The book's content is free, but printing and shipping a physical copy are paid services. Through October 28, the price was $19.99. My Print-on-Demand provider's costs rose after that, so the customer price increased too. The total depends on destination. Check the current amount: automatelike.pro/ai-ha-book/

The most powerful idea is also the earliest: AI-assisted automation authoring is only Considering. The proposal calls for a preview and maintainer confirmation before changes are saved.

My verdict is deliberately narrower than “AI will run your house.”

Home Assistant automations still make sense for fixed rules. Assist fits direct commands. Hermes was useful in my test when the task needed several live checks, a plan, a change from me, actions, and verification.

Home Assistant remains the device-control layer, and I review the plan before it acts.

There is no need to use an AI agent for every Home Assistant job.

• Fixed rule that repeats → Home Assistant automation
• Direct command → Assist
• One-off job using several live states and a follow-up → Hermes may fit

That last case is what I tested: six checks, a small proposed plan, an approval pause, a revision, actions, verification, and a notification.

Local or cloud AI in Home Assistant? You do not have to marry one.

Start with one small text task, then choose based on privacy, hardware, cost, and the job.

Which way are you running AI today?
