Home automation is the residential extension of building automation.

It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

Warning: Working with electricity can result in injury, property damage, or even death if it is not done properly. Please keep this in mind while assisting others. If you are not sure about what you are doing, hire a licensed professional.

So, I'm tired of all these companies having access to my information and data. I'm also trying to limit security concerns from hackers and general lowlifes. Is this possible? Is there anyone who teaches or guides on this (preferably on YouTube as im a bit of a visual learner).

Yes. You might have difficulty with some devices, such as robot vaccuums, but with some research it's very doable. Personally I like Tasmota as it allows me to build my own devices or buy other products and then flash Tasmota on it.

Home Assistant is also very much recommended.
