Welcome to Astrion: Your Home Assistant Command Center
The Astrion Remote HA100 is a dedicated hardware terminal for the Home Assistant (HA) ecosystem, providing a tactile and responsive interface for controlling your smart home.
1.1 Core Concept: Terminal, Not an Accessory
- Astrion is a dedicated HA control terminal, not a device managed within HA.
- Uses the official HA WebSocket API for commands and real-time updates.
- Unlike smartphones or Bluetooth remotes, Astrion is optimized for HA control.
1.2 How It Works
- Instant-On Launcher: Starts automatically.
- Persistent WebSocket Link: Secure, real-time HA connection.
- Optimized Interface: RosCard views load instantly.
- Dual Control: Touchscreen or programmable physical keys.
1.3 The Astrion Difference
| Type | Example | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Bluetooth Remote | TV | Controlled Device |
| Smartphone w/ HA App | Wi-Fi | General Terminal |
| Astrion Remote HA100 | WebSocket API | Dedicated Control Terminal |
Tip: Physical shortcut keys can trigger any HA service, scene, or navigation. OTA updates deliver new features seamlessly.
