Getting Started With Home Assistant In 2025: The Ultimate Guide

In this video I'll take you through the process of setting Home Assistant up on a Raspberry Pi. I’ll also cover the basics when it comes to automations, integrations and dashboards, and go over my must-have add-ons. Trust me, it’s not as hard as you think it is. Was trying real hard not to crack 20 minutes on this one but there was simply too much to cover and I wasn't able to fit it all into a shorter video. Hopefully it's still helpful for you all! Questions? Let me know in the comments, and I'll be happy to help you out. LINKS!
