    Description:
    The Open Home Foundation has announced
    its existence as a home and support resource for free home-automation
    projects. We created the Open Home Foundation to fight for the fundamental
    principles of privacy, choice, and sustainability for smart
    homes. And every person who lives in one. Ahead of today, we've transferred over 240 projects, standards,
    drivers, and librariesHome Assistant, ESPHome, Zigpy, Piper,
    Improv Wi-Fi, Wyoming, and so many moreto the Open Home
    Foundation. This is all about looking into the future. We've done
    this to create a bulwark against surveillance capitalism, the risk
    of buyout, and open-source projects becoming abandonware. To an
    extent, this protection extends even against our future selvesso
    that smart home users can continue to benefit for years, if not
    decades. No matter what comes.
