| description | This paper analyzes the process of energy transition from traditional solid fuel heating to an air-to-air (A2A) heat pump-based heating system. Special emphasis was placed on the implementation of new technologies for improved management of energy systems, aiming to elevate both comfort levels and energy efficiency. This paper explores the use of the open-source software Home Assistant as an integration platform for home automation, designed to manage smart home devices while preserving local control, user privacy, and increasing cybersecurity. The proposed hardware platform includes a Raspberry Pi with appropriate IoT modules, providing a flexible and economically viable solution for household needs. |
