6 reasons HACS is the best custom add-on for Home Assistant that I always install first

Home Assistant is one of the best applications you can install on any home lab or NAS that supports Docker. It can be the centerpiece of your smart home, with thousands of integrations supporting practically every smart device out there. Chances are, if it exists and can be controlled by some kind of remote service, there's a way to get it working with Home Assistant, too. Whether you're new to Home Assistant or an experienced user, you need to install the Home Assistant Community Store, also known as HACS.
