Hey there! 👋 I'm the creator of Magic Areas, a free and open-source custom integration for Home Assistant that brings real intelligence to your smart home.

What is Magic Areas?

Instead of manually writing complex automations for every room, Magic Areas turns Home Assistant's built-in areas into presence-aware zones that automatically manage your lights, fans, climate, and more — out of the box, with no YAML required.

Why I build this

I started Magic Areas because I wanted my home to just work — and I couldn't find anything that did it the way I imagined. What began as a personal project has grown into a thriving open-source integration used by thousands of Home Assistant enthusiasts around the world.

How your support helps

Magic Areas is completely free and always will be. But maintaining it — fixing bugs, writing documentation, building new features, and supporting the community — takes real time. Your sponsorship lets me dedicate more of that time to making Magic Areas better for everyone.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. Thank you for keeping the magic alive. ✨
