ELARIS is a local-first automation platform I’ve been building for practical automation and control projects.
The idea is to create a system that brings together devices, entities, scenes, modules, installer workflows, and automation logic in one place, while staying flexible and usable for real-world setups.
It is still under active development, and I’m improving it continuously. New parts are being refined, workflows are getting cleaner, and more features and modules are being added over time.
I’m not posting it as a finished product release, but as a project that has reached the point where outside feedback is valuable.
Since many people here work with Home Assistant, ESPHome, MQTT, and self-hosted setups, I thought this would be a good place to share it and get honest thoughts.
I’m not presenting it as ‘the end of Home Assistant’ or some universal replacement.
What I want is a system that makes life easier for the person actually building the automation application — cleaner structure, clearer workflows, easier scaling, and more control over how projects are put together.
So the point is not ‘HA but better at everything’. The point is a platform that is easier to shape for real automation work.”
Fixed an issue where some sensors were visible in entities/dashboard but were not showing up correctly inside modules.
This was checked in both the Solar System and Thermostat modules, and mapping/runtime is now working properly.
Also fixed a compatibility issue with older database states where missing columns could cause SQL errors and break the release.
