What does core do?

Home Assistant is a comprehensive, open-source home automation system that acts as the central brain for smart devices. Unlike commercial alternatives, it prioritizes local control and privacy, ensuring data remains within the home rather than relying on external cloud services. The platform is highly modular, supporting thousands of integrations across various brands and protocols. It allows users to build powerful, custom automations and rules to control everything from lighting to security systems. It can be run on low-power devices like a Raspberry Pi or deployed on a dedicated local server.
