By using this website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the site.
The content is informational
Every recipe, YAML payload, condition tree, latency figure and hardware note on this site is provided for information only. Nothing here is professional engineering, electrical, plumbing, legal or safety advice, and no editorial review substitutes for an inspection by a qualified person.
These automations control mains electricity, water valves and physical access. You are responsible for complying with the electrical and plumbing codes that apply where you are, for correct fusing, isolation and residual-current protection, for verifying that a fail-safe actually fails safe, and for keeping a manual override that works without the hub.
No warranty
The site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Hardware revisions, firmware updates and hub releases change behaviour without notice, and a recipe that worked on one version of a device may not work on the next. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any recipe will produce a particular result in your installation.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any loss of data, property damage, personal injury, or cost of substitute services, arising from your use of or reliance on this site or any recipe published on it. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Acceptable use
- Do not scrape the site in a way that degrades service for other readers.
- Do not republish recipes in bulk as your own editorial product. Quoting a recipe with attribution and a link is welcome.
- Do not attempt to gain access to any administrative area of this site, or to interfere with its availability.
Intellectual property
The text, diagrams, generated topology figures and page design of this site belong to their author. Hardware names, protocol names and trademarks named in recipes belong to their respective owners and are used descriptively to identify the equipment a recipe assumes.
Third-party links and advertising
This site links to and displays advertising from third parties. We do not control those destinations and are not responsible for their content, products or privacy practices. See the privacy policy for how advertising cookies work here.
Changes
These terms may be updated; the date below changes when they are. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
