HASMaster Users Guide

HASMaster helps you move from idea to working home automation outcomes. It connects discovery, decision-making, setup planning, and saved scenario history in one system.

What HASMaster does

  • Organizes use cases, devices, software, infrastructure, and guides in one connected model.
  • Guides you through step-by-step journeys with AI-assisted questions and progress tracking.
  • Captures confirmed recommendations so setup starts from an agreed plan instead of scattered notes.

Where to start

  • Journeys: start here when you want guided help.
  • Use Cases: start here when you need ideas or examples.
  • Guides: start here when you already know what you want to build, configure, or fix.

Main site areas

  • Devices: browse physical components and what they do.
  • Software: review platforms, apps, and control systems.
  • Infrastructure: review networks, protocols, and backbone services.
  • Guides: implementation, configuration, troubleshooting, and reference material.

How journeys work

  • Inspired Design: define the problem or desired outcome.
  • Define Constraints: set budget, ownership, privacy, and platform limits.
  • Select Components: confirm what is needed, what you already have, and what is recommended.
  • Setup, Automate, and Fix It: move from plan to installation, behavior, and troubleshooting.

How to use the AI assistant well

  • Describe the frustration, room, goal, and current setup in plain language.
  • Answer each task directly and confirm when the step is complete.
  • Use the progress panel to review status, prior answers, and the next step.

What gets saved

  • Your active journey step, intake details, task answers, and confirmed decisions.
  • For signed-in users, scenario history can be tied to a profile for later review.
  • The most important saved output is the confirmed recommendation: what you plan to implement, what you already own, and what still needs setup.

Best results

  • Be specific about budget, ownership, privacy preferences, and what you already have.
  • Confirm recommendations before moving into setup work.
  • Reuse saved scenarios as your system grows instead of restarting from scratch.

Admin and builder capabilities

  • The core HASMaster plugin provides structured content types, taxonomy management, maintenance workflows, backups, icon handling, and runtime registries.
  • The AI add-on provides the assistant, orchestration, and journey-driven guidance on top of core.
