+Built home automation on top of your devices:
+
+-  Keep a precise history of every change to the state of your house
+-  Turn on the lights when people get home after sun set
+-  Turn on lights slowly during sun set to compensate for less light
+-  Turn off all lights and devices when everybody leaves the house
+-  Offers a `REST API <https://home-assistant.io/developers/api/>`__
+   and can interface with MQTT for easy integration with other projects
+   like `OwnTracks <http://owntracks.org/>`__
+-  Allow sending notifications using

+   (NMA) <http://www.notifymyandroid.com/>`__,
+   `PushBullet <https://www.pushbullet.com/>`__,

+   `Telegram <https://telegram.org/>`__, and `Jabber
+   (XMPP) <http://xmpp.org>`__
+
+The system is built modular so support for other devices or actions can
+be implemented easily. See also the `section on
+architecture <https://home-assistant.io/developers/architecture.html>`__
+and the `section on creating your own
+components <https://home-assistant.io/developers/creating_components.html>`__.
