A comprehensive, live Home Assistant configuration showcasing advanced home automation with Docker, Zigbee, presence detection, and custom integrations.
DubhAd/Home-AssistantConfig is a publicly shared, live configuration for Home Assistant, an open-source home automation platform. It demonstrates a real-world setup integrating hundreds of devices—including lights, media players, sensors, and cameras—across Zigbee, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi protocols. The configuration solves the complexity of managing a whole-home automation system by providing documented examples of automations, custom dashboards, and reliable presence detection.
Home Assistant users seeking advanced configuration examples, particularly those self-hosting with Docker and integrating diverse smart devices. It's valuable for intermediate to advanced users looking to implement robust presence detection, visual floorplans, or complex notification workflows.
This configuration stands out as a comprehensive, battle-tested reference that goes beyond basic tutorials. It offers practical insights into separating services (like Zigbee2MQTT), combining multiple presence-detection methods, and using custom integrations via HACS to extend Home Assistant's capabilities.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Connects Zigbee, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi devices via Zigbee2MQTT and MQTT, enabling support for a diverse ecosystem as detailed in the hardware list and integration notes.
Combines Nmap for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth monitoring with Monitor, and the HA Companion app for GPS, providing redundant tracking methods that minimize false positives.
Uses the Floorplan integration with Inkscape-created SVG overlays to display sensor states and occupancy in an intuitive, visual layout, as shown in the screenshot and layer descriptions.
Leverages HACS for custom components like Adaptive Lighting and Alarmo, offering practical implementations for advanced lighting control and security beyond core HA features.
Requires managing multiple Docker containers (Traefik, Zigbee2MQTT, etc.), custom YAML files, and separate services, which can be daunting and time-consuming to set up and maintain.
Heavily depends on third-party HACS components like Sonos Cloud and Awtrix notifier, which may break with Home Assistant updates or lack long-term developer support.
Demands a mini-PC with ample RAM, additional devices for Zigbee/Bluetooth, and services like Frigate for camera processing, making it resource-intensive compared to simpler setups.
