Tomorrow is a special day — not just for me, but for the Home Assistant community ❤️
On 14.01 @ 20:30 UTC, I’m going live on YouTube to officially announce and celebrate the Ollama–HA Add-on — a project that allows you to run Ollama on the same machine where Home Assistant. A project that was built together, with a big part of it created live on stream.
This is probably my biggest (or one of my biggest) contributions to Home Assistant so far, and I want to celebrate it properly 🎉

🔴 What Is This Live Stream About?

- How to integrate it with Home Assistant
- How to use it in real automations

🧠 Ollama-HA Local AI + Cloud AI (We Test Both)
One of the most exciting parts of this add-on is flexibility.
On the stream, we’ll:
- Run Ollama on the same machine where HA is
- Run local Ollama models
- Test cloud-based models
- Compare results
- Talk about performance, privacy, and real-world use cases
If you’re curious about AI without sending data to the cloud, this one is for you.

If you saw the announcement here and you join the live stream:
