Welcome back to our discussion on home automation safety! In our previous entry, we established our safety goals and outlined the system requirements needed to achieve these goals. Today, we’ll be exploring the safety mechanisms (SM) that underpin the system, ensuring it runs efficiently and securely. [Read More]

Welcome back! Having navigated the intricacies of risk assessment and mitigation in our previous posts, we now dive deeper into our home automation system. In this entry, we will outline the system requirements that implement the safety goals we defined earlier. Let’s get started! [Read More]

In the first installment of this blog series, we delved into the Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) process, a crucial first step in our journey of creating a comprehensive safety system for home automation. We examined the hazards that could compromise our home’s safety and assessed the level of threat posed by each one. Now, let’s take a step forward and explore how we turn these assessments into actionable... [Read More]

In the previous installment of this blog series, I introduced you to the safety-focused journey we’re embarking upon: the creation of a comprehensive safety system for home automation, inspired by ISO 26262. In today’s post, we’re moving forward by exploring the first crucial step in our roadmap: Hazard analysis and risk assessment. [Read More]

Welcome to the high-level architecture overview for the conversational AI system I’m developing to control Home Assistant. In this post, I’ll outline the main components that make up the system and provide a brief description of their roles. Please note that designing the architecture is an iterative process, and I anticipate updating it as the project evolves. This overview will focus on the broader architecture without delving into the specific... [Read More]
