Home Assistant design & setup
From a first install to untangling an existing setup: device selection, dashboards, automations, backups, and a structure you can maintain.
Smart home solutions consulting
A smart home that’s private, reliable, and yours: local control first, cloud only when you choose it.
Privacy-first local control
Lights, locks, sensors, and climate that keep working when the internet or a vendor’s cloud goes down. No cloud lock-in, no data leaving the house unless you want it to.
Energy monitoring & climate automation
Measure what your home actually uses, then automate around it: thermostats and sensors you already have, solar and battery awareness, and usage dashboards — without unsafe equipment modifications.
Custom device integration
When nothing off the shelf fits — from Pico W sensors to a non-networked AV receiver — a local bridge to Home Assistant and voice usually can.
Live demo: voice-controlled AI home automation
The House on homatica.online is my own home: Home Assistant plus a voice assistant on locally hosted LLMs.

Many homes already have an old PC or laptop that feels too slow for everyday use. Those machines are often more than enough to host Home Assistant, a local control bridge, or a private AI assistant — so you can reuse hardware you already own instead of buying new servers for every project.
I’ve been wiring things since building an FM transmitter at 12, ran CKC Auto Security in the 1990s, and spent 24+ years designing automation at Verizon. About Claudio.
