// 09 · Get started

Run it yourself in three minutes.

The entire estate runs in simulation first — no hardware, no risk, nothing real is touched. Explore the whole safety model on your laptop, then connect real hardware only when you are ready.

# 1 · get the code
$ git clone https://github.com/Cole-Will-I-Am/AI_Smart_Home.git
$ cd AI_Smart_Home

# 2 · install (stdlib core, one dependency)
$ python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -e .

# 3 · see the safety model, then talk to the house
$ homeops demo        # a guided tour
$ homeops chat        # "unlock the front door" → it asks you to confirm
$ homeops status      # everything at a glance
  1. 01

    Try it in simulation

    homeops demo walks the whole model: a routine action runs, a lock asks to confirm, a leak shuts the water locally, a dangerous request is refused.

  2. 02

    Talk to your house

    homeops chat opens a conversation. Bring any model — Claude, GPT, or a local model that keeps everything on-prem — or none at all; the safety engine is identical either way.

  3. 03

    Pick a deployment preset

    homeops init writes a starter config: simulation, Home Assistant, Home Assistant + network firewall, or a multi-property estate.

  4. 04

    Go live, carefully

    validate → preflight → serve — each step refuses loudly rather than degrading silently. Electrical, water, and life-safety work is done by licensed professionals.
