Running AI locally on your Home Assistant machine is no longer a dream — it’s real, it’s free thanks to Ollama-HA app and tonight we are going live to answer some hot questions.
If you’ve ever wanted to bring the power of AI into your smart home without maintaining a separate always-on computer, you’re going to want to read this.
Tonight at 20:00 UTC, I’m hosting a fully interactive live stream where we dive into the Home Assistant Ollama-HA app — and trust me, this one is different from your typical live.

The Story Behind the Home Assistant Ollama-HA App
Let me be honest with you — I wasn’t always a fan of Ollama. Don’t get me wrong, Ollama itself is brilliant. But using it always meant one thing: a separate, always-on machine. Whether that was a Windows PC, a Linux box, or a Mac sitting in the corner of my desk burning electricity 24/7 — it just didn’t feel right for a smart home setup.
I kept asking myself:
Why can’t I just run Ollama directly on the same machine where Home Assistant lives?
That question sat in the back of my mind for a while. Then I decided to stop wondering and start building Live on Youtube. Right there, live with my community watching, I created the first version of the Home Assistant Ollama-HA app. It was rough around the edges, sure — but it worked. Ollama was running natively on the same device as Home Assistant. No extra hardware. No extra headaches.
After that stream, I didn’t stop. I polished it, improved it, squashed bugs, added features, and refined the experience to the point where I felt confident enough to share it with everyone. And that’s exactly what I did — the Home Assistant Ollama-HA app is now available completely free for all of you to use. 🎉
What’s Happening Tonight?
Tonight’s live is all about answering the most frequently asked questions about AI in Home Assistant, with a heavy focus on the Home Assistant Ollama-HA app. But here’s the twist — you get to decide the direction.
🗳️ It’s Interactive — You Vote, I Demo
This isn’t a one-way presentation. Throughout the stream, I’ll be running polls where you choose what we explore next. Want to see how to install the Home Assistant Ollama-HA app? Vote for it. Curious about which tiny AI model can actually run locally on Raspberry Pi? You vote, I test. Want to see a real-life AI demo with a security camera? Say the word.
Your votes shape the entire live stream. That’s what makes this one special.
A Sneak Peek at What We’ll Cover
I don’t want to spoil everything (that’s what the live is for 😉), but here’s a taste of the major topics:
- What is Ollama and how does the Home Assistant Ollama-HA app work? — We’ll break it down from scratch so even if you’ve never heard of Ollama before, you’ll walk away understanding exactly what it does and why it matters for your smart home.
- How to install the Home Assistant Ollama-HA app — I’ll walk through different installation methods so you can pick what works best for your setup. Whether you prefer the easy one-click route or the manual approach, we’ve got you covered.
- Finding the best local AI model for Home Assistant — Not everyone has a beefy machine at home. I’ll show you surprisingly small AI models (we’re talking models as tiny as 135 million parameters!) that can actually run on modest hardware. We’ll test a few live and you’ll see the results in real time.
- Cloud AI models for Home Assistant — For those who want more power without local hardware limitations, we’ll explore how to use cloud-based models through the Home Assistant Ollama-HA app.
- Real-life demos — This is where it gets fun. Think AI-powered weather-based clothing suggestions or AI image recognition from a security camera. All running through Home Assistant. All practical. All awesome. 🤖
- Housekeeping essentials — How to delete models, manage backup sizes, and uninstall if needed. The stuff nobody talks about but everyone eventually needs.
