Technical requirements

You will need the same skills as for the previous chapter and be familiar with software deployment and configuration to configure the actuator we will be hacking. The core knowledge required for this chapter is familiarity with electronic circuits and devices by disassembling and soldering or connecting wires to them. Using electrical installation tool knowledge could be useful to do some installation-related tasks. Some informative videos will be provided on how to hack and configure actuators. The configuration for the actuator used in this chapter is available at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Building-Smart-Home-Automation-Solutions-with-Home-Assistant/tree/main/Chapter%2004.
