USING THE HOME ASSISTANT DIGITAL PLATFORM TO CONTROL THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

The relevance of this topic is justified by the fact that nowadays digital technologies represent a kind of integration platform for interaction, which involves the introduction of digital technologies into all spheres of human life. The Home Assistant digital platform deployed on a personal computer (server) through a special Virtual Box program was chosen for the study. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the use of digital technologies based on the Home Assistant open platform, which provides control of the electrical installation. It was found that this platform makes it possible to create automations for responding to entities, which are understood as: events (including virtual ones), states and information. These entities are not associated with any device. For their development, they used a trigger that starts automation, a condition and an action. The type of action was chosen to call the Notify.Events service, which allowed receiving notifications about various events occurring. The use of Home Assistant for the centralized management of wireless elements of various companies has been investigated. It turned out to be the most convenient to manage electrical installations from one place in Lovelace, where a plan of a production facility with smart devices is added. In this context, the combination of the powerful Home Assistant platform and the ESP Home software application, specialized microcontrollers with support for Wi-Fi networks and data transfer protocols, provides the creation of Internet devices for controlling electrical relays that control the corresponding electrical installation. With the help of the proposed system, a number of tasks are solved, which will enable the use of Home Assistant in the future. In particular: service availability; get rid of the need to contact the cloud server; support of various manufacturing plants and a huge number of integrations; the ability to send notifications to the messenger.
