>The hell? But people seem to think that Home Assistant is good. (Something about subscription fees and invasive apps and forced obsolescence?) So you search for “how to get a Home Assistant”. This reveals a recursive landscape of terror:

Google "how to install home assistant" which leads to:

>https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/

>If you are unsure of what to choose, follow the Raspberry Pi guide to install Home Assistant Operating System.

This leads to:

>https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/raspberrypi

This has a nice visual guide that requires you to know how to buy a raspberry pi, how to plug in a raspberry p, how to plug in an sd card (twice), and how to navigate to a url.

I googled "how to install home assistant", and the links you point to above don't appear to be anywhere on the first page of results.

The second link is this one: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/guide-how-to-install-h...

But the linked page is pretty complex.

That result does not show up for me when I google it and the other one is the top result for me.

If someone can come up with a reason why top results aren't even present on others' page 1, I would be very interested.

Google "personalizes" search results.
