Columbus, Ohio Meetup

​Home Assistant Community Day 2025

​TJ Huddleston with HomeTech.fm and Connect You are proud to support Home Assistant Community Day 2025 in Columbus, Ohio. While final details are being ironed out, we wanted to give an idea of what types of things you can expect from your local Home Assistant Community Day.

​Thank you for our Community Supporters for sending us demo devices:

​Apollo Automation
Inovelli
Reolink
Zooz

List of events may include:

​Opening Ceremony. 
We will discuss Home Assistant, what Home Assistant is, and some fun trivia about Home Assistant.

​Device Highlight 
We will discuss the products we have been sent, what the benefits of using them vs another item is, and anything else that is relevant to the products.

​Best Of
We will host a competition to see who has the:

​Best Dashboard/UI
Most advanced automation
Coolest automation
Most unique device
Most number of devices

Hardware Swap 
Have some old (working) devices laying around that you don’t need? Bring them in to give away, or swap with someone else.

​White Elephant Gift Exchange 
Not a typical white elephant gift exchange as you’ll know what the gifts are before you pick them, but the concept still stands. We will bring a raffle ticket for each member and we will do a White Elephant Gift Exchange for the demo products that we have been sent.

​Open Discussion 
We may have some leftover time at which point, it will turn into open discussion.
