## What it is
Heimcontrol.js is a self-hosted home automation application built with Node.js that runs on a Raspberry Pi. It provides a web interface for controlling lights, switches, sensors, and other devices via radio controllers and GPIO hardware.

## Use cases
- control 433MHz light switches from a web interface
- build a DIY smart home hub on a Raspberry Pi
- monitor temperature and humidity sensors at home
- automate lights and appliances with a web dashboard
- control Arduino-connected devices over the network

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted home automation hub on a Raspberry Pi
- you prefer a lightweight Node.js solution with a simple web UI
- you want to control cheap 433MHz radio devices or Arduino peripherals

## When to avoid
- you need broad device integrations and active ecosystem like Home Assistant
- you require frequent updates or long-term vendor support
- you need a mobile-first or voice-assistant-driven setup
