About The Project

This repository contains the configuration code for 'Lawrence', my virtual butler, built using Home Assistant. I got fed-up quickly with the lack of platform to connect the growing variety of 'smart' home equipment I had, and Lawrence was the solution! The first iteration of Lawrence was born in 2016 on a Raspberry Pi 1 (B) running Hass.IO. Today Lawrence is running within a Docker container on a Synology DS918+.
