In todays video we are having a look at the Home Assistant Yellow. I have a quick peak at what you get with the standard version and also discuss the super simple plug and play setup. Getting Home Assistant up and running has never been simpler. All of the links for everything shown in the video can be found below.
In a future video I will be covering backup and migration for the yellow.
