+# Home Assistant
+Home automation software.
+
+## Installation
+
+### Docker
+1. Run the container to set up the local filesystem.
+2. Modify the created config file, in `config/configuration.yaml` to allow the traefik proxy, or generally everything on the local network. NOTE: Traefik breaks homeassistant, needs to be over local network for now.
+```
+# Configure HTTP settings
+http:
+  use_x_forwarded_for: true
+  trusted_proxies:
+    - 192.168.96.0/24
+```
+Optionally, set the log level
+```
+# Configure logging
+logger:
+  default: debug
+  logs:
+    homeassistant.core: debug
+    homeassistant.components: info
+    homeassistant.components.mqtt: debug
+```
+Note these snippets should go above the `automation` line.  
+`docker compose down && docker system prune -f && docker compose build && docker compose up -d && docker logs -f homeassistant`
+
+### Home Assistant Setup
+1. Set up devices/smart lights according to manufacturer instructions to get them on the local network.
+2. Settings > Devices & Services > Add Integration
+3. For my WiZ light, the automatic scan did not find it. I had to manually use nmap to find it on the network and enter the IP.
+```
+nmap -sn 192.168.1.xxx/24 (adjust for your local network)
+```
