Home Assistant is built from the ground up to be easily extensible using components. Home Assistant uses [Python 3](https://www.python.org/) for the backend and [Polymer (Web components)](https://www.polymer-project.org/) for the frontend.
|
|
|
|
Home Assistant is open-source and MIT-licensed. Here are links to the source:
