I will set up or fix home assistant with automations and dashboards
About this Gig
Is your Home Assistant slow, broken or half set up? Or are you starting from scratch? I'll get it running reliably and make your home work for you.
WHAT YOU GET
- Fresh install or repair of Home Assistant (OS, Docker or Supervised)
- Device and integration setup and troubleshooting
- Automations built around your routines (lights, climate, presence, alerts)
- Clean, mobile-friendly dashboards
- Automatic backups so one bad update can't wipe your setup
- Secure remote access with Tailscale/VPN, so no open ports
WHY ME
- I've done freelance smart-home and self-hosting work since 2025: Home Assistant, Nextcloud and Plex in Docker on Linux
- Linux, networking, DNS and firewall background, so I fix root causes and not just symptoms
- Clear handover notes so you know what was changed and why
HOW IT WORKS
1. Tell me your hardware, devices and goals
2. We agree on the automations
3. I work remotely through a secure session you control
4. You test it, and I adjust within your revisions

FAQ
Do you provide the hardware or devices?
No. You provide the hardware (Raspberry Pi, mini PC, NAS or VPS) and your smart devices. I don't sell hosting or devices, but I'm happy to advise on what to buy before you order.
How do you access my system?
Remotely, through a method you control, such as a temporary SSH account, Tailscale, or a screen-share session. You can revoke access as soon as the job is done.
Which installation types do you support?
Home Assistant OS, Container (Docker) and Supervised on Linux. If you're unsure which one you have or need, I'll recommend one based on your hardware.
What counts as one automation?
One trigger-based routine, for example "turn on hallway lights at sunset when someone is home". Bigger multi-step flows may count as more than one. I'll confirm this with you before starting.
Will my automations break after updates?
Standard and Premium include automatic backups, so you can roll back. I use maintained integrations and avoid fragile hacks wherever possible.
