## What it is
HASS.Agent is a Windows-based companion client application for Home Assistant, built in .NET 6. It integrates a Windows PC with a Home Assistant instance, providing notifications, media player control, quick actions, commands, and sensor reporting.

## Use cases
- send Home Assistant notifications to my Windows PC as toast popups
- control my PC from Home Assistant with commands like shutdown or restart
- report my PC's CPU, GPU, and other sensors to Home Assistant
- trigger Home Assistant entities with keyboard shortcuts
- use my Windows machine as a Home Assistant media player device
- show my Home Assistant dashboard without opening a browser
- collect sensor data from a Windows machine even when not logged in

## When to choose
- you run Home Assistant and want deep integration with a Windows desktop or laptop
- you need PC sensor data (CPU, memory, drives) as Home Assistant entities
- you want toast notifications from Home Assistant automations on Windows
- you want hotkey-triggered control of Home Assistant entities

## When to avoid
- you need a companion app for Linux, macOS, or mobile - this is Windows-only
- your Home Assistant setup doesn't allow installing companion integrations
- you need an actively developed project - development has slowed and maintainers have sought new contributors
