Guides

This section is all about helping you get things working.

Each guide walks you through a task in a clear and simple way. No jargon, no confusion and no assumption that you already know how everything fits together.

You will find guides for things like:

• Getting started with Home Assistant
• Adding and organising devices and sensors
• Creating simple automations
• Fixing common smart home issues
• Improving stability and reducing flakiness
• Light networking tasks that help everything run smoother

These guides are written for normal Kiwi homes. You can follow along at your own pace and know that each step is explained in plain, everyday language.

More guides will be added over time as I work through new ideas and test different setups. If there is something specific you want help with, feel free to let me know.
