I made a free smart home class. Steal it.

I put together a beginner Home Assistant class for the Dallas Makerspace, and I open sourced it so anyone can reuse it: classes.smarthomesellout.com.

It’s the version of Home Assistant onboarding I wish someone had handed me when I was starting. Beginner-friendly yet going over important things like protocols, hardware choices, and more!

The reason it’s a fork-friendly repo: I think the real win is if you teach it too. Fork bharvey88/home-assistant-intro-class, swap in your local gear and stories, push. GitHub Actions builds you a MkDocs site on your fork’s Pages, plus the speaker outline and the handout each as a Word doc and a PDF. Tag a release and all four docs attach automatically. Print them, hand them out, done.

If you’re starting out, the site’s at classes.smarthomesellout.com. If you teach, fork the repo and make it yours.
