Happy birthday Home Assistant! Such an incredible platform.

I think it was like 3 years ago when I bought a Google Home and wanted it to announce the time every half hour. Somebody on Reddit recommended me Home Assistant, then I found BRUH Automation’s YouTube channel and down the rabbit hole I went.

It’s been amazing watching the amount of progress that has been made since then. A lot of things that were complex and time consuming before are now super simple. Lovelace made it simple to customize your interface without having to learn YAML. Thanks to Nabu Casa you can get remote access with a single toggle switch. Integrations can be set up in a few simple clicks now right from the UI.

Not only is Home Assistant incredibly powerful, but it’s also becoming super easy to use as well.

So much has been achieved in 6 short years…well done!

According to the forum, I have been here since November 2016, so I wasn’t as early to the party as I might have liked.

HA has come a long way in those nearly 3 years, and I have loved every minute of it. Cheers to all involved.

Congratulations to everyone that has created, and contributed to HA over the years. I’ve been here a little over 2, it’s been great so far and much has been achieved and so much progress made in that time.

I’m excited to see where this goes in the future. Keep up the great work.
