- For
- Home Assistant users who want room-by-room explanations
- Worth noticing
- Its page marks time-to-useful as “DARK (not measured yet)” and labels the Watch demo a sandbox, not a real home.
Field notes
The Census counts what Home Assistant reports and can decline to draw a conclusion when the available states are insufficient. Users map sensors to rooms and define what silence means before Watch presents its recommendations. The page says the local installation currently comes from a checkout of a private repository; it lists no public package, release, Docker image, or add-on. Hosted access is invite-only.
