Bringing Nerves and Home Assistant together

Speaker: Kevin Schweikert
Nerves Home Assistant Smart Home IoT

Imagine building your own IoT devices and instantly getting dashboards,
historical data with charts, a mobile app, backups and much more for free.

By combining Home Assistant - a popular self hosted, open-source, privacy
focused platform for home automation - with Nerves and Elixir. We’ll explore the
benefits of using Home Assistant, how to make your devices automatically
discoverable and configurable and how to exchange data back and forth via MQTT.
In the end we’ll take a look at how Homex can take care of all that work and let
you write new integrations in just a few lines of Elixir code.

Speaker

Kevin is a software engineer at Intermediate Engineering GmbH where he writes
Elixir to power big screen media installations. His private passion with Home
Assistant and a work adventure later he decided to bring Elixir closer to this
ecosystem. While not sitting in front of a screen, he spends every Sunday in the
pursuit to create the perfect neapolitan pizza 🍕
