From ever-increasing subscription prices to outages and data harvesting: we don’t like what the cloud has come to represent. So we’re redefining what an online service should be: private, optional, and free from lock-in or walled gardens.
That’s why today Nabu Casa is renaming Home Assistant Cloud to more accurately describe what the service actually does, and to better reflect our values. Allow us to introduce:
HAC has problematic connotations, so we renamed it to HAL, which is 9000 times better.
HAL, open the microwave door. Open the microwave door, HAL.
…HAL? HAL!!!
Still one step ahead of IBM!
