Home Assistant, despite the name, isn't an Assistant like Alexa or Google Home, it is actually a home automation integrator. It connects to practically everything, and then workflows can be triggered off the states of your IOT stuff. In my house, I use it to, among other things, turn down/off the light when grid power goes down and I'm running on battery power, as well as send me a notification that I've lost grid power.
