 Spend your time automating your home, not maintaining your automation software. Less clicking through configuration screens, fewer plugins talking to plugins, and no need for YAML archaeology when something stops working. Just a straightforward path from devices to automations, built on open standards and designed for people who prefer understanding their system over managing it.
 
-The ideas behind **she** are the result of more than a decade of building smart home software. I started publishing home automation projects on GitHub in 2012 with ccu.io and later initiated the ioBroker project before leaving it in 2014. Shortly after I worked on [mqtt-smarthome](https://github.com/mqtt-smarthome/mqtt-smarthome) and created [mqtt-scripts](https://github.com/hobbyquaker/mqtt-scripts), which has been running my own home automation ever since. Over the years I have continued working professionally in the smart home industry.

I started publishing home automation projects on GitHub in 2012 with ccu.io and later initiated the ioBroker project before leaving it in 2014. Shortly after I worked on [mqtt-smarthome](https://github.com/mqtt-smarthome/mqtt-smarthome), contributed to the Node-RED ecosystem and created [mqtt-scripts](https://github.com/hobbyquaker/mqtt-scripts), which has been running my own home automation ever since. Over the years I have continued working professionally in the smart home industry.
 
 Recently, while experimenting with GitHub Copilot, I started modernizing parts of my existing software stack. What began as a small refactoring exercise quickly evolved into a bigger idea: replacing my twelve-year-old automation engine with a modern successor. The result is **she** - a combination of the proven concepts from mqtt-scripts, the architecture of mqttDB, a built-in Matter controller and a modern web interface with AI assistance. A system that embraces open standards, integrates the growing Matter ecosystem, and remains true to the principles that made mqtt-scripts reliable enough to run a home for more than a decade.
 
 The goal is simple: a smart home that remains understandable years later. No migration-guide marathons, no plugin jungles. Just automation infrastructure that grows with your home instead of growing into a hobby of its own.
