Smart Home Practice at the makerspace Braunschweig: The second step towards connected home automation

The workshop series on Home Assistant continues at the makerspace Braunschweig. Part 2 is aimed at anyone who wants to not only set up their Smart Home but also deliberately expand it. On September 15, 2026, the focus will be on sensors, actuators, integrations, and apps – the very building blocks that create a truly practical automation system.

When fundamentals turn into a real system

After the introduction to the platform, the step into practice follows: Devices from various manufacturers will be integrated, rooms linked more intelligently, and functions expanded. In the workshop atmosphere of the makerspace Braunschweig, technical know-how meets hands-on experimentation. This makes the evening particularly exciting for makers, Smart Home enthusiasts, and anyone looking for an independent solution without rigid manufacturer constraints.

Sensors, actuators, and integrations in focus

The course delves into the central logic of home automation. Lamps, thermostats, switches, smart switches, and other components will be integrated into Home Assistant via integrations and apps. Additionally, the workshop shows how the Home Assistant Community Store HACS uncovers new functions and flexibly expands the user’s environment. Step by step, a system emerges that adapts to personal habits.

A space for learning, tinkering, and exchange

The makerspace Braunschweig serves as an open workshop for technology, creativity, and collaborative work. This framework shapes the event experience: no pure frontal lecture, but a practical evening with room for questions, examples, and concrete use cases. Anyone interested in Smart Home organization, event planning in the tech sector, and modern DIY solutions will find the right entry point for further exploration here.

Well prepared for the next Smart Home level

The workshop starts on September 15, 2026, at 6:00 PM and ends at 8:00 PM. On-site at the makerspace Braunschweig, participants will receive a clearly structured overview of the next steps for expanding their systems.
