The Open Home Foundation launches

The Open Home Foundation has announcedits existence as a home and support resource for free home-automationprojects.

We created the Open Home Foundation to fight for the fundamental principles of privacy, choice, and sustainability for smart homes. And every person who lives in one.

Ahead of today, we've transferred over 240 projects, standards, drivers, and libraries-Home Assistant, ESPHome, Zigpy, Piper, Improv Wi-Fi, Wyoming, and so many more-to the Open Home Foundation. This is all about looking into the future. We've done this to create a bulwark against surveillance capitalism, the risk of buyout, and open-source projects becoming abandonware. To an extent, this protection extends even against our future selves-so that smart home users can continue to benefit for years, if not decades. No matter what comes.
